Chapter One
The cold metal of the gun was clenched tightly in his hand as he stalked closer to his prey, soon his revenge against the Crocodile would be complete and his love would be avenged. Blue eyes narrowed in the darkness as he spotted the two figures up ahead, the Crocodile was standing facing the girl, so completely engrossed in each other that his presence remained undetected. Hook couldn't prevent the sinister grin that covered his face, that demon had ripped out Milah's heart it seemed only fair he returned the favour.
Time seemed to have slowed to a crawl as he raised his gun and towards the brunette standing near the town line, his finger squeezed and the trigger was pulled. In a few seconds it would all be over, what he had survived three hundred years for would come to an end. What had been unexpected however, was the blonde blur that appeared between the bullet and the brunette, it took a moment to realise that the 'blonde blur' was actually quite familiar. Hook's eyes widened as he watched Swan take the bullet to the shoulder while making sure the other woman stayed behind the town line, before slumping on the ground with a pained grunt.
"Swan?" the strangled question left Hook's throat, an unknown emotion was threatening to choke the life out of him. He took an unsure step towards the two women on the ground, Swan was being supported by Belle who looked to be trying to stop the blood flow. As he was moving forward he noticed a bright light appear in front of him but had no time to process the information as he was suddenly slammed into. Hook felt pain radiate throughout his body as he crashed painfully onto the solid ground. He vaguely remembered the sound of screeching and the thudding of footsteps as a desperate cry rang out.
"Emma!" It was a man's voice. Hook managed to raise his head slightly to look at the scene, Belle was being held by a stunned look Rumpelstiltskin as the other man looked Emma over. He wrapped an arm round her waist as she let out a strangled cry that for some reason caused Hook more pain than any of his current injuries. He sees Swan gesturing between himself and the thing that hit him, pushing the other man away slightly as she moves to stand, her left arm clutched protectively towards her stomach. Hook watched with a slight blurred vision as she ushered him towards the thing that sent him flying as she came towards him.
"Swan…" Hook trails off once she reached him, the damaged that he has inflicted on her evident at such a close range, the wound clearly draining her as she slumped beside him. He desperately wanted to say something, anything to make this better but a small part of him couldn't help but resent her. She had saved the Crocodile, stopped him from getting the revenge that he had craved for close to three hundred years. Hook was interrupted from his cursing of Swan by a screeching sound that echoed through the night, blue lights flashing in the night causing him to shift in alarm the pain from his side increasing causing black spots to dance across his vision.
He vaguely registered being moved from the ground, a blanket draped over him to defend him against the cold before he let the darkness finally claim him.
