Emma POV
"It's all around us"
"What?"
I saw the arms of the darkness entangle themselves around Regina and absorb her.
"What the hell is it doing?" Cried Robin.
"Doing what darkness does, snuffing out the light"
"We have to stop it!"
He threw himself against the blackness and tried to get Regina back. He was thrown back to the floor.
"That's not going to help. We have to do what the sorcerer did, find someone to contain the darkness"
I stepped forward and was about to reach out my hand when I heard my parents shout,
"Emma!"
"You found a way to take the darkness out of me once. You have to do it again, as heroes"
I once again stepped forward but was stopped by Hook.
"Emma! Don't do it. Please!"
"I love you" I managed to say, though it hurt so much. I rested my forehead against his and realised what I had said. I had lost him so many times though and I wasn't going to lose him again without saying how I felt.
"There's no way you're going now Emma!" He shouted and pushed me backwards. I fell to the floor and looked up in time to see him plunge his arm into the darkness.
"NO!" I cried out, tears streaming down my face.
"I'm s-sorry Emma. You'll find me, I know you will"
"Don't go, I need you"
"I love you Swan, I always have and always will"
Those were the last words I heard before he disappeared. The dagger took his place on the ground. I saw the words engraved on it. 'Killian Jones'. I remained on the floor and sobbed. My parents came over to help me up but I just cried into their shoulders.
"I- I t-told him I l-loved him, and-and he still left!" I stuttered, struggling to speak.
"I know honey, I know" my mom said, stroking my hair.
"We're going to find him Emma. We just have to find Merlin" David said determinedly.
"It's not that easy! He's turned dark again"
"He will resist it Emma, he'll resist it for you"
Hours later, I was still crying. Every time I let down my walls, I get hurt. I let in Neal, Graham and now Killian and they all left me. I know he's alive, but a part of me is worried that the loveable pirate part of him had died. What if he's never the same again? What if I never get to tell him I love him? I knew right there, right then that I had to find him. I had to follow my heart and find Hook. Because without him, well I don't know if I'll surviveā¦
