(Storybrooke)

Dark Killian's POV...

I watched smugly as the dwarves whistled, and continued to hit the rocks with their little useless ax's which could bring good use to my plan. Without warning I appeared in the room, with my back to wall, smirking as one of the Dwarves saw me.

''Your not getting any dust, Pirate.'' Leroy growled, causing me to chuckle and approach them my eye's fixated on the ax in one of the dwarves hands. ''not while we're standing.''

''Sorry, but your wrong, mate,'' I growled, getting into the grumpy dwarves space so my breath was right near his ear. ''Oh, no I'm shopping for something more, how do you say I these days. Hmmm, edge.'' I grabbed the ax from the dwarves hands.

''My ax,'' The one known as Happy growled, causing me to chuckle. ''No one steals an ax from us not even you, Dark One.''

''Oh,'' I grasped my chest with my hand as if in hurt. ''it seems I have made the happiest dwarf in your...'' I waved my hand up and down, as an indocation. ''little group. The maddest of them all. But there's something I learned as the Dark One.''

Slowly I made my towards, Happy. ''If your name is on it, hold on to it, mate.'' I growled before puffing myself and the ax to the basement, where the sword was.

''This is a horrid idea, Captain,'' The crocodile sneered, but I ignored him, my focus only on the stone. ''if you want that sword out from the stone...You have to have a price for it.''

Without question I raised the ax over my head, preparing to hit the stone that held, Excalibur. But I stopped, to give the crocodile my best glare. ''If my Hook can cut through anything. I cant see why a little dwarves ax cant.''

Ignoring his other remark. I rammed the ax against the stone, completely to my shock, broke the bloody ax.

''Why didn't it work?'' I asked, as I threw the now useless, piece of junk against the wall, turning my angry glare towards the crocodile. ''answer me, demon!''

I watched as he chuckled, and looked down at the broken ax. ''Your going to need something more than that, Dearie.'' He smirked, as he appeared right beside me, and whispered the last thing I wanted to hear. ''You need a hero.''

''Well, sorry to tell you this, mate,'' I began my angry gaze sweeping over him. ''But there are hundreds of hero's in this little bloody town-''

''No,'' the crocodile said, cutting me off. ''I know exactly who you need.'' He leaned down towards my ear once more. ''Mr. Gold.''

''Your insane,'' I growled, pacing around in the basement, avoiding his gaze. ''He's not even a hero. Or even awake. How do suppose I just wake him?''

The crocodile snickered once more, and shrugged. ''I don't know, Dearie,'' He said carelessly, ''It's your plan not mine.''

With a growl I puffed myself out of the basement and into my ship.

(Storybrooke)

Emma's POV...

After a long argument with my parents, about there being no use in saving Killian. I made my way angrily Granny's for lunch. As soon as I entered I found August looking down at Robin's phone. I frowned it had been a while since I last saw the puppet. But without any word. I made my way over.

''Hey, Emma.'' August said, after he ordered his drink. ''How are you feeling? About Hook being the Dark One.''

''How did you-''I tried to say.

''Know?'' August asked, he just glanced at Robin, before picking up his lunch and making his way past me and Robin. ''See you later, Emma.''

''Bye,'' I waved nervously, before looking at the picture on Robin's phone, which he held out of view. ''what are you looking at?'' I asked, as he sighed.

''It's a picture from up inside, Zelena.'' He began, as I stared at him in complete disgust, almost gagging. And if I was honest with myself for some reason I have been feeling the urge to gag once in a while.

''Um I have to go,'' I whispered nervously, but Robin seemed to sense my disgust as he closed his phone up and placed it back in his pocket.

''Emma, it's the baby,'' He started, causing my disgust to lower just a slight tad. ''They're called a sonogram. And How's Hook?''

I swallowed but nodded in understanding. I wish I could have seen Henry in a photo inside of me, but I refused to let that happen, I was just a teenager and scared of what I might have seen. Than I shook my head remembering his question.

''He's not the same,'' I muttered, as Robin gave me a sad look. ''There's this new house of his. And inside it there was a door. But he didn't let me get close to it,'' I explained, as he watched on.

''What do you suppose he's hiding?'' Robin asked, as I crossed my legs, trying to soothe down my angry stomach. ''Down in that basement?''

I shrugged. Just before Granny suddenly placed a bag in front of me. ''Order up.''

I frowned, but took the package anyway. ''Order?'' I questioned, looking at Granny than at the free meal. ''I didn't order anything?''

Granny just shrugged and left for the kitchen giving me no hint of who sent it. Without any words. I grabbed the bag and stormed to the station, hoping David and Snow weren't there.

(Storybrooke)

Dark Killian's POV...

I watched silently as Emma made her way into the station. And decided to make myself known. So using my magic I appeared behind her, causing her to almost drop our food. Even if I was a Dark One now. I was still hungry. I smiled, but she frowned, almost glaring at me.

''It's not funny appearing out of nowhere like that, Killian.'' She warned, her eyes narrowing dangerously, causing me to lose my smile.

With a sigh I ran my finger across the desk, and looked down at the dust particles I had gathered. ''Sorry, Swan. And by the way your desk could use some cleaning.''

I almost smiled, but remained frowning, as I saw she was still glaring at me, the bag still in her hand, as if she was afraid to trust what was inside it.

''I'm guessing your my mystery server?'' She asked, with a hint of sarcasm. I smirked that was the swan I remember. ''Why?''

I frowned, but took a deep breath and answered all her questions. ''I wanted to apologize about our last encounter back at my house,'' I began, chocking on some of my words. ''I know you and your family are just trying to help. So I thought ..We could have some lunch together. Like the old days, just me and you.''

''I'd love that, Killian but...'' She paused, looking at the bag than to me. Before sighing. ''This is not like the old days.''

As soon as she set the bag down, and went to leave. I snapped my fingers, and changed her desk into a beautiful small table, with a vase of flower's. I even changed my clothing, I now wore dark blue jeans, black boots, grey-tee and no jacket.

''Is this how you like me, Swan?'' I asked, pulling the chair out for her to take a seat on, which she hesitantly did, as I sat on the other. ''Swan, you know you can trust me, right?''

An hour had passes since we had eaten lunch, and I smirked as she stared at me suspisiously like is was hiding something. Which I actually was but for a good reason.

''Your new house,'' She began whipping her mouth as I frowned. ''What's behind that locked door to the other room?'' She challenged, leaning back against the chair, causing me to smile.

''You know I want to trust you, Killian. Honestly I do...But.'' She paused, standing up and glancing around the room, throwing her empty hot chocolate away. ''why wont you tell me what happened back in Camelot?''

I didn't say anything, as she glared at me as I stared back at her sadly, fighting the urge to tell her everything that happened those six weeks ago.

''The Killian Jones I used to be...Is till me, Swan,'' I explained taking her hand's in mine. ''I have a question for you.'' She shrugged but nodded. ''If you tell me right now, that you don't love me. then I will let you go.'' I whispered.

Emma was silent for a moment, before she looked at me with the most hatred eyes I had ever seen. ''Just leave,'' She began, causing my heart to shatter.

''Swan, you don't mean that,'' I whispered, trying to pull her in my arms, but she hit my hands rather harshly and said the word's that broke my heart.

''I don't love you anymore, Killian,'' She said, but I could hear her chock on some of her words. ''you are not the same man I fell in love with.''

With a sad nod, I snapped my fingers, and mad everything that was fancy disappear. ''Goodbye, Swan.''

(Camelot 5 weeks ago)

Killian's Pov..

It had been a week since, Emma refused to even talk to me. I knew she was having trouble controlling the darkness. And her way of protecting everyone is shutting them out. But she was not going to do that with me. I watched and smiled, as I took the seat next to Emma, watching as David kneeled before Arthur.

''I dub thee Sir David of the Enchanted Forest.'' Arthur began, as I smiled. ''Now of the Round Table . I know knight of the round table is pale fire compared to the title of a prince.''

''No,'' David smiled, causing me to smirk, as he stood up to face the King and Queen. ''I am beyond honored.''

''And I am beyond bored by this,'' Emma yawned, behind her hand, causing me to frown. She was always tired for some reason. Even before she was turned into the Dark one.

Suddenly I watched as she rose from her seat, and walked out of the room, I quickly followed behind, nearly bumping into Snow. ''Sorry, Snow,'' I apologized before making my way after Emma.

''Get out of my head!'' She screamed, just as I entered the room, quickly dodging the magic she almost hit me with. ''Killian?''

''Watch where you throw your magic, Love.'' I teased, noticing the slight crack in the wall where she had hit. ''you should rest.''

Emma shook her head, but I shook my head, grabbing her just in time, before she could escape.

After several minutes I finally got Emma to lay down, on the soft warm cot. I held her hand tightly, afraid to let it go. While everyone around us including Regina looked worried.

''What happened to her?'' Henry asked, as I gently grabbed a stray piece of Emma's hair and put it behind her ear. ''Is she ok?''

''Arthur can help her,'' David reassured him, causing Snow next to me to tense, as I didn't move from where I was. But I could hear every word they said. Lancelot this Lancelot that, and betrayl that.

''You could take her to the meadow,'' Henry replied, causing me raise a brow. ''My friend showed me around here. There are horses in the stable. Maybe a small ride will help her.''

I smirked, clapping the boy on the back, before lifting Emma into my arms. Before glaring at Snow and David. ''Shut the bloody hell up!'' I Exclaimed, as Emma buried her face further into my shirt. ''I would have thought you would act like caring parents. But all you two are doing is nagging yourselves to death!''

Without another word. I followed Henry out the door, but not before whispering to Regina to watch them, as well as the Wicked Witch.

(Camelot, Stables)

Killian's Pov...

After Henry and the girl known as Violet left us alone in the barn. I Whistled, smirking as I walked out into the open, Emma following closely behind.

''Well you could have anything in this world,'' I started, turning to look at Emma. ''But nothing is more important than Young love.''

I frowned as I noticed Emma's shocked look. ''No, he has a crush ,'' She corrected quickly, I raised a brow. ''And he straight up lied to my face. And I'm the Dark One.''

''But, your his mother,'' I stated, walking over to her, as she stared at me with wide eyes her mouth open slightly.

''Which is even more scarier.'' She stated, as I crossed my arms, leaning against the wall of the barn.

''That's up to debate,'' I shrugged, before giving her a serious look. ''Speaking of you dark one-ness, don't you think it's time you tell me why you've been pushing me and your family away. And who the bloody hell you have been talking to.''

Slowly she explained everything, and I frowned, and noticed she was looking at what she said was the crocodile, but I saw nothing there, just the barn wall.

''Swan,'' I Murmured. I stepped forward taking her hand's in mine. ''I spent my whole life running from demons in my head. It's what I've always done.'' I admitted softy,

''Killian, I don't think I can run from this,'' She stated, looking down at her dress, and her self. ''I'm the Dark One.''

I frowned and nodded in agreement. Before an idea suddenly popped into my head, causing me to smirk. ''I have to agree with you on that,'' I admitted, before looking towards the saddle. ''But that girl promised to get Henry's heart racing. So will we.'' I nodded towards the saddle, and smirked.

''I don't think this is a good idea, Killian.'' Emma warned, as I walked over and unlocked the gate to one of the horses stable, and lead it towards the saddle, which I quickly placed over it.

''Nonsense,'' I scoffed, before taking her hand in mine. And leading her out of the barn. ''You will be just fine.''

(Storybrooke)

Dark Killian's POV...

After getting what I needed to wake the Crocodile up, I made my way back to my house, slamming the basement door open with my magic. Just as the Dark One came back mocking me.

''Aw, why the pout?'' He cackled, as I ignored him walking down the stairs, and into the secret chamber where, Excalibur laid. ''Bad break up? Poor, Poor, Pirate.''

''I wouldn't antagonize me right now, Demon.'' I warned, with an angry snarl, as I used my magic and made Mr. Gold appear right on the little rock shaped bed in the room. Grabbing the sword from my belt. I used my magic once more and crumbled it up into pieces, over his body.

I watched as he gasped awake, his eyes fluttering open, slowly looking at me. And I smirked as I noticed fear in his once cold eyes. As I stood tall and un-wielding before him glaring at him.

''What do you want from me, Jones?'' He asked with a stutter, as I looked over his body, and smirked. ''Where's Mrs. Swan, I need to warn her she's-''

I pulled out the dagger from my belt, and showed him my name engraved in it, with a slight smirk. Slowly he looked back up at me, with fear and confusion laced in his eyes.

''Y-Your the Dark one?'' He muttered, as I nodded, bending down to his puny height. ''But I thought Mrs. Swan was-''

''Taken by the darkness,'' I rolled my eyes remembering my last encounter. ''Well things have changed, and I'm here to fix those changes.'' I whispered, glancing at the Dark replica of him. ''That's right, crocodile. that means your nothing, now.''

''But-'' He tried to say, but I used my magic to silence him.

''Your heart is a clean slate now,'' I smirked, as he shrunk back in fear, as I moved closer. ''And that is why I'm not tearing you apart right now. Because right now you are just a useful tool to me. Even though I should be be-heading you for what you did to Emma. I can make you into what you never thought you could be...a hero.''

I smirked as he shook his head in horror. ''But not just any hero, mate,'' I began, my lips coming into a snarl. ''The purest one of them all...And,'' I paused looking at the Dark One, as well as Gold. Before looking back at the man before me. ''And now I have a job for you, crocodile.''
