Black Swan
Emma has become the new dark one. The heroes must work together to have any chance of getting her back home. Set immediately after the end of the Season 4 finale. I do not own anything.
Calm settled over Main street, the darkness having disappeared and taken Emma Swan with it in a spectacular whirlwind- she really was a force of nature. Despite the stillness that had befallen the town, the atmosphere was charged; the overwhelming power of the darkness hung in the air leaving its mark on Storybrooke, promising its return. That was the one consoling thought Killian Jones could muster; the darkness was coming and it was bringing hell with it but he couldn't bring himself to care about that so long as it brought Emma with it. I love you. Her last words were ringing in his ears. I love you too, Swan. Why hadn't he told her? He hoped that she knew without the words.
He stumbled over to where the dagger lay on the ground, already knowing what was now written on it. He traced the pattern of her name over and over silently willing the new dark one to come to him. Nothing happened. Staring at the dagger he felt anger flare up and take over, burning through his whole body. He could feel his old self taking over; his eyes went dark, his eyebrows were furrowed and his jaw was clenched tight. He could hear Mary Margaret sobbing behind him and he resisted the urge to turn around and tell her to shut up. He hated the sound of crying. This is the crocodile's fault. His name should be on this blasted thing. I will kill him. I will kill him for hurting Belle. I will kill him for dishonouring Baelfire. I'll kill him for destroying my happy ending, again. He hadn't noticed that his entire body was trembling until he felt David's sturdy arm come around his shoulder, dragging him out of his brooding and pulling him up off the ground and into a hug. "We'll get her back, Killian." he said, offering him an encouraging smile. Insufferable Prince. Always so bloody optimistic and full of hope. "Before we come up with a rescue plan, I need to tell Henry" Regina hastened from the group after giving Robin a chaste kiss on the cheek. Killian was glad when she had gone; seeing her wrapped up in Robin Hood's arms sent a painful jolt through his chest, making him suddenly aware of how empty his arms were.
