Prologue
As Emma saw the strange glowing beam above Zelena's farm, she rose from the bench there she has sat with Hook and starts to walk to the strange phenomenon. Hook follows her without hesitation grabbing the bag with the fairytale book.
As they arrived at the barn, the earth was shaking from the power of the glowing beam. Emma saw on her mobile that David had tried to reach her and she listened to message he had spoken on her mailbox.
"Zelena is dead and somehow her death triggered the timeportal" she shouts to Hook as the noises grew louder and louder. "And what are we still doing here, Swan?!" he yells as he retreated backwards trying to pull her with him. "I'll have to check it" Emma turns again to the barn.
"Swan, don't be an idiot, what can you do? Have you got your magic back?" "No, but…" he interrupts her "see love, so we better leave before it's too l…."
With a loud thump the doors of the barn burst open and they are pulled in by a great power. Both stumbled and were dragged to the swirling portal. Emma first, Hook directly behind her. Quick-witted he pushed his hook in the earth to hold him and Emma whom grabbed his hand during the fall. But it's too late Emma has already fallen into the portal, her only hold is the wristband of Hook's leathercoat.
"Hold on" he cries as he struggles to regain enough power to pull them both out of the swirling pool.
"I can't!" he hears her desperate cry and the sound of the ripping material of his coat tells him that there is no time left. He tries to pull her up, but he is not strong enough, the material rips apart and Emma has no hold anymore.
She screams loud as she falls through the portal, and Hook is perplexed at first but his decision is quickly made.
"One of these days I stop chasing after this woman" he says out loud and with that he tries to jump after her through the portal, but he is not directly able to remove his hook. He struggles hard and as soon as it is released he realized that the portal is about to close.
He tries to reach it by time but it's too late. In a desperate attempt to reassure Emma he shouts:
"Hang in there Swan I will move heaven and earth to get you back, no matter where or when you are!"
The portal is now closed and Hook collapse to the floor- how can he go back to her family and tell them what happened that he failed her, failed them? A sharp pain shots through his head, memories twirling, emotions changing- what is happening to him?! And after a while his typical smirk is back on his face.
"You're amazing Swan, bloody brilliant!"
