I wrote a short of Hook telling Emma about Neal.
Not sure if I'll add to this later, but here it is.
Tell me what you think?
"I'll take watch while you guys rest." Emma replied as she walked back into the clearing where everyone was waiting.
"Where's Hook?" David asks as Emma picks up Neal's sword, immediately feeling guilty and putting it back down: feeling like it has just burned her hand.
"Right here." Hook replied, holding some firewood and placing it down. He continues, "Emma's right. You guys rest and we'll keep watch."
"No, you both just came back from a journey that apparently resulted in Charming almost losing his life. Hook, you deserve to rest. I'll wait up with Emma." Snow replied, giving Hook a smile.
"As generous as that sounds, I can't really sleep on this land anyways. It would be a waste of my time to try. I'd rather spend my time doing something. Thank you, though." Hook added, and he meant it.
Although it was quite annoying that they were actually acting like he was a normal human being just because he saved someone's life, he was grateful for their kindness.
Snow gave him a sympathetic smile and nodded.
Regina already had her eyes closed and Charming and Snow laid down next to each other.
Emma glanced at Hook, who she found staring at her, and she quickly looked away.
"Emma." Hook whispered, walking towards her.
"Not here. Not now. That didn't happen, remember?" Emma responded, backing away, walking around the small clearing.
"Emma. I need to tell you something." Hook said, ignoring her.
"That kiss didn't happen. It was just.. It was just a thank you... For saving my fath... David's life." She finished, still walking and not looking at Hook.
"Emma. Please, listen to me." Hook said, almost pleading now, trying to catch up to her.
"I'm still trying to get over Neal's.. Neal's death. It was just spur of the moment. I regret it." She kept talking, not wanting to hear what Hook had to say. Honestly, she was afraid of what he had to say. Was he going to confess his love? It was complete nonsense, honestly. She was also kind of afraid that if she looked at him, she might kiss him again.
You just lost the love your life! She thought, yelling at herself.
"Emma." Hook said, finally catching up to her, grabbing her hand and turning her around to face him.
Emma looked into his eyes and could sense that something was wrong.
"What?" Emma asked, confused.
"I just talked to Pan." He said, letting go of her and stepping away.
"You what? He came to you? What did he say? Is it about Henry?" She asked, getting slightly worried, stepping towards him, anxious for what he was about to say.
"He didn't mention Henry... He mentioned Neal." Hook replied, rubbing his forehead with his hook.
Emma stared at him. Neal? What would Pan have to say about Neal?
Hook looked at Emma's concerned beautiful face and stared into her stunning eyes. He touched her blonde hair with his one, good hand, and moved it to her face.
Emma stared back, not sure what to think or do. She finally summons up her thoughts and asks, "Hook. What did he have to say about Neal?"
Hook comes aware of his surroundings and drops his hand.
"Neal is alive. And he is here, in Neverland."
