Okay so those spoilers are killing me and although i'm sceptical (or maybe just hoping that it isn't the final scene-I honestly think they'll do that in the studio. ) that doesn't stop the feels so I decided to take this fic in a slightly different direction.
I think only a couple of chapters left after this
i'm not giving up
but i'm giving in
to my darker side
to my every sin
so I can fight again
Gold was telling the truth, he'd let the love shine through the darkness that was corroding his heart. The only way for the villains to get their happy endings was for Emma to give into her dark side, to become a villain.
She couldn't believe it. She'd come so far from the dismissive, lonely orphan that arrived in Storybrooke 3 and a half years ago. She'd found her son, her parents, a boyfriend (yes she'd admitted it to herself now) that truly cared for her and had supported her through everything and now she faced losing it all. She looked at the dagger. It wasn't really a choice, her destiny was to give everyone the happy endings and she would fulfil her destiny. It didn't mean it hurt any less.
She looked around, at the people who had become her friends, something that as a kid she'd feared she'd never had:
After all these years, Lily was back. They were both stunned when they'd bumped into each other again in New York, but had soon started to apologise about the way things had ended. The past was in the past and although Emma had been looking forward to rekindling the friendship that they'd had. Alas that wasn't to be, but Lily was reunited with her mother, and although there would be a long way to go and a lot of missed years, moments to catch up on, it would be worth it in the end.
She'd had a rocky relationship with Regina to say the least but deep down she'd always known that Regina would never hurt Henry, and as she proved in Neverland she would do everything to save had helped her and they would always share a bond over Henry Regina was elated, Emma knew that Robin truly made her happy and ,apart from Henry, was the only person who didn't see her as The Evil Queen but instead saw her as someone with a big heart who didn't know how to love very well. Regina stepped forward, tears misting up her eyes.
"Ms Swan, Sorry Emma, Thank you, I know I haven't always been the kindest person to you in the past but you believed that I would find Robin. That I could find happiness, even when I didn't think it was possible. Thank you for helping me find my happy ending, but you don't need to give into your dark side"
"Your welcome Regina but I have to do this. Not just for you, for everyone, you all deserve your happy ending."
Her mom and dad stepped forward next, her father spoke first
"Emma I know we wronged you, we shouldn't have made the choices we made and we shouldn't have lied to you. I know sometimes we treated you like the saviour and not as our daughter but I've lost you twice before and I can't lose you again. "
Her mom was in floods and she had to look away. She had to be strong. "Emma i'm so sorry. I love you"
"I'm sorry to Mom, you did what you thought was right. You may have made bad decisions in the past but you made up for them. I never thought i'd have a family and I couldn't have wished for a better one"
No not Henry
"Henry, I'm so glad you came to Boston and brought me home. You are the smartest kid in the world. You have a wonderful heart and you need to be stronger than you've ever been. I'm sorry but I have to do this. I love you, kid."
"Mom, I know, i''ll miss you"
"i'll miss you too but be brave"
That left one person, and she can't contain her emotions much longer.
"Emma please, please don't do this. Swan you're a survivor and I can't, I can't lose you. " he muttered
"Killian I have to, I have to give everyone their happy endings."
"You're giving up Swan, what about you're happy ending."
"Killian, i'm sorry, truly I am. Thank you for believing in me, Thank you for coming back for me, Thank you for giving me time and I know i'm not great at saying how i'm feeling but I love you and my happy ending it's you, it's always been you."
He stood there paralysed on the spot "Emma I
he forced himself to move, it was too late
She held the dagger up towards the sky.
He sank to the ground, through tears of anger, sadness, regret, he whispered "I love you, Emma, I always have, always will" into the darkness.
So this is a bit angsty. Sorry. Reviews always welcome.
