Disclaimer/Note from the author: I've never written a story for Captain Swan before or OUAT -so please be nice. I got the idea of this story from the promo for the Season Finale. So this is essentially my idea of how the finale might play out.

Chapter One: Through the Portal and into the Past.
"Hook." Emma said shaking his shoulders. "Hook, wake up."
It was no use. He was out cold. He had not moved once she had painfully woken up herself.
A sudden wave of fear washed over her, as she started to feel a strange panicky feeling spread throughout her aching body.
What if he had a concussion? What if he wasn't going to wake up? What if she was going to loose him, just like she had lost Neal?
She shook at his shoulders harder. She couldn't bare the thought of loosing another person she cared about. She couldn't think of how she was going to face the others back home without Killian. They had lost enough people. They were not going to loose him.
She was not going to loose him too. She told herself firmly, before straddling herself over his body and starting to shake him harder this time again.
"Please Killian, wake up. Don't do this to me again." she cried out desperately, as she started to hit his face with her hands. "I am not going to loose you again. Killian, please come back to me."
"Argh, what the hell, Swan?" Killian asked, opening his eyes suddenly his eyes.
"You're alive." Emma said, her voice just above a soft whisper. She breathed a deep sigh of relief. That was a close call.
"Kinky Swan." Killian's voice said snapping her out of her thoughts. "If you wanted to mount me, you just had to ask."
"Glad to see that you haven't lost your sense of humour despite your possible concussion." Emma said rolling her eyes, before climbing off him quickly.
"I didn't mean to scare you away, Swan." he said lifting his body off the ground slowly, to rest on the back of his elbows.
"Believe it or not, I wasn't trying to seduce you, Hook. I was trying to revive you. You were out cold for about fifteen minutes."
"And you thought you lost me again?" he asked smirking a little. "How sweet."
Emma rolled her eyes quickly. "I'm getting a little sick of having to save your ass." she mumbled quietly.
"Where the bloody hell are we?" Killian asked, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"The Enchanted Forrest." she said standing up quickly and dusting her clothes off from any dirt. "Well, the Enchanted Forrest of the past."
"I'm not following."
"Wow, Zelena really did a number on you."
"Zelena? What does she have to do with all this? I thought Rumpelstiltskin killed her?"
Emma sighed heavily. "Rumpel thought he killed her, but he just managed to give her back her magic somehow. When he used his dagger on Zelena, her spirit went straight back into her pendant. I don't quite get it either. But she's alive. She's somewhere here in this Enchanted Forest and we need to find her before she changes the past. Can you walk?" she asked standing over him to extend a helping hand.
"I'll be fine." he said pulling himself up. "How did we get here?"
"How badly did you hit your head?" Emma asked frowning. She would never admit it out loud, but she was starting to get really worried about him. "Zelena opened a portal and challenged me. She said if I was truly the savior then I would find a way to stop her before she changed the past. I fell in and you jumped behind me."
"Ah the things you do for love." he said before cursing loudly.
"Hook, you're bleeding." Emma cried out, touching his rib-cage.
"Ouch. Easy Swan." he said quickly, clutching the open wound. "I'll be fine. It's just a cut."
"Doesn't look like just a cut, Hook. It looks pretty bad. We should treat it."
"Without a clean, sterilized environment, we will only make it worse."
"Killian, it will get infected if we don't-"
"-Relax Swan. If this really is the Enchanted Forrest of the past, I know a few places not too far off from here where we can go. We can treat the wound there. I'll be fine. Let's go." he said faking his best smile.
"You don't have to pretend with me." Emma said, looking at him directly in the eyes. "I'm a lot stronger than you think."
"I wouldn't expect less from our savior." he said holding his side and limping along.
Emma sighed heavily. "You're going to bleed out before we even get to the next house. Just tell me where to go and I'll come back for you-"
"-Swan" he said, cupping her face tenderly and looking at her directly in here eyes. "I will be fine. I've been through much worse. I'm a pirate after all."
"Just tell me how I can help." she said, pulling her face away quickly as hot tears started to burn at her eyes.
"Well, you could let me lean on you. That might help."
"Of course." she said supporting his body weight against hers and starting to walk.
"Ahh...this is nice, aye Swan?" he asked smirking a little devilishly.
"Any excuse to get close to me, aye Hook?" she laughed loudly, rolling her eyes at him.
Emma never really believed in God, or anything of a higher power. But now, as she slowly trekked her way through the Enchanted Forrest of the past, supporting Hook's wounded body on her tired, petite frame; she found herself praying to God, or whatever higher power existed to help her not loose Killian too.
