"Remmy!" Will cried out. He knelt down next to her on the ground. "No no no..." Neal knelt down next to Remmy.
"I never thought I would see her again." He smiled, stroking the side of her face. Will glared up at Rumple.
"We need to get her back to Storybrook. We need to make sure she's okay." He demanded.
"We'll get her back and bring her to my shop and see what I have to help her."
"I don't trust you not to kill her" Will said through clenched teeth.
"I'm not going to kill her. She brought me my son back. I thought she was playing me just to get the dagger." Rumple defended himself. Had he thought she could really do it, he would have looked into it prior instead of giving her a hard time. Neal looked back and forth with a look of confusion.
"Bae...I'll explain everything when we get back home" Neal nodded.
"We're not bringing her to your shop. We're bringing her to Snow and David." Will declared.
"Fine...perhaps Miss Swan and Regina will be able to help as well." Will scooped Remmy up in his arms and reached for the magic bean from his pocket. No one noticed Rumple stepping behind them to take the dagger and he slid it into the inside of his coat.
Will threw the magic bean on the ground and the portal opened. Will jumped in followed by Neal and The Dark One hoping it wasn't too late to save Remmy.
"How could you let her go and do this and not tell any of us?!" Hook shouted at Will. They had gotten back to Storybrook and brought Remmy to Snow and David's. The shock of Neal being there had worn off. Neal and Emma sat side by side as Hook interrogated Will.
"She made me swear not to. It was the only way I could get her to let me go with her." Will felt beat up. He was worried about Remmy and now The Pirate was treating him like he did this to her. He was fighting the urge to punch him in the face, knowing it wouldn't do any good.
"Guys stop." David finally stood up. "This isn't solving anything. Once Regina gets back out here from looking at Remmy we can see what we need to do. But blaming and yelling isn't going to solve anything. I suspect this would have happened if you were there or not Hook" David was always so logical. Snow nodded.
"When will Henry be home?" Neal asked, trying to change the subject for the moment to diffuse the situation.
"He's at school now, he'll be home in a couple of hours." Emma smiled at him. She couldn't believe he was back. Henry would be so thrilled. She knew this was going to complicate things with her and Hook, but she didn't care. Her son had his father back and she knew how happy he would be. And regardless of what the future would bring, Emma would always love Neal, even if she didn't end up with him. Regina came down the stares.
"I think she'll be okay. The amount of power she must have used to...to accomplish this was substantial. It's like a battery, she needs to recharge. That amount of magic will take a lot out of you." She still had the look of shock on her face, unable to really comprehend what had happened today.
"Is there anything we can do to help her?" Emma asked.
"I'm not sure. I know Dark Magic wont help, but possibly Light Magic. I can do some research to see if there's anyway we can help her. If we work together Miss Swan we may be able to. I'll be back if I find something. Just keep her comfortable for now. The best thing she can do is rest." Regina gathered her things and headed out the door.
"So now we wait." Hook sighed frustrated he couldn't do more to help her or protect her.
Neal sat next to Remmy as she lay in the upstairs bed at Snow and David's loft. He felt overwhelmed. He remembered dying. He remembered saying goodbye. And then he was surrounded by darkness. It was like he was somewhere between Earth and Hell. He shuddered at the thought of it. Constant darkness. It was enough to drive you mad. He stared at her peaceful face. He had missed her a great deal. It had been so long since he had seen her. He wasn't shocked that she had found a way to get to his father. She always said everything happens for a reason. Perhaps his death was the key to Remmy's success. And he was back with is family.
"Come on Rem, come back to us. I need to talk to you. To hear your voice." He sighed. She looked so incredibly peaceful. He hoped Regina was right, she was just recharging after using all of that energy. He wasn't sure if he could forgive himself if she died to bring him back.
"Dad?" Henry's voice was almost a whisper. Neal stood and embraced his son. "I can't believe this. I can't believe your back." Both Neal and Henry had tears in there eyes.
"We get a second chance. And this time, nothing will get in the way of it, I promise Henry." Henry was beaming.
"Mom said Remmy did this. I knew I liked her for a reason."
"She's an amazing person, good to the core. I don't think I'll ever be able to repay her for what she's done. C'mon, we should go downstairs so we don't disturb her and we can catch up." Henry nodded and bounded down the stairs. Neal stepped back to Remmy, leaned down and kissed her forehead. "We'll talk soon."
Regina watched as they laid Remmy on the floor in the middle of the room downstairs. She didn't want to take any chances of her falling and hitting her head while she and Emma tried to help her.
"So what are we going to do again?" Emma was nervous. She wanted to help her. She gave Henry his father back. And she seemed to be the best opportunity for friendship that Emma would ever had. She and Remmy were so similar. She could use friendship that didn't include her parents or a pirate that she had strong feelings for.
"Kneel down on the other side of her and place your palms on her other arm. We're going to concentrate radiating light magic into her body. This may help revive her." Hook, Snow, David, and Will watched them. Neal had taken Henry out to spend some time with him. Hook stood the closest, ready to pounce if it seemed they were harming her instead of helping her. "Okay Emma, now concentrate, dig deep down into yourself and feel it" Regina ordered. They all watched as a white light surrounded Remmy. They sat like this for a few moments and Emma had to pull away, it was still a bit much for her.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it anymore" Emma sighed, feeling so disappointed.
"It's alright, lets give it a few moments to see if it helped." Regina tried to hide her irritation. She forgot how hard it was to work with a rookie who didn't have as much control over her powers. Her irritation started to subside when she saw Remmy blinking her eyes. All of the sudden panic showed in her face and Regina was up against the wall surrounded by a blue glowing light.
"What are you doing to me?!" Remmy was frantic, terror filled her eyes. "Killing my father wasn't enough, you're coming after me too?!" Remmy screamed.
"No...No..That's not..." Regina could feel her airways constricting.
"It's alright darling, she's not trying to hurt you, she's helping you." Remmy blinked, it was like she was almost in a trance. Her eyes had turned the strangest shade of dark blue. She dropped Regina.
"Killian...what happened?" She asked him.
"You don't remember?" Snow asked quietly from the background.
"Everything is so fuzzy. I can't even think." She turned to Regina. "I'm sorry. I saw you and I just flashed to the past and I was terrified"
"It's quite alright dear. No harm was done." Regina stood up a little shaken.
"What's the last thing you remember love?" Hook asked.
"The night I came to Storybrook." She sighed.
"You don't remember me?" Will questioned. She looked over to him.
"I'm sorry, but no, no I don't. Who are you?" Will felt like he was punched in the stomach.
"I'm...just a friend" He barely could manage a smile. "I'm going to head out, I'll let you guys get to dealing with this."
"Will..." Snow trailed off.
"It's alright. I'll see you soon Remmy" She nodded at him and he quietly left.
Remmy took a deep breath and looked around feeling so confused and slightly still scared. She sat down as they filled her in on what she had done.
"You saved me?" Remmy looked at Regina slightly shocked.
"Yes." She smiled. "I know that you can't forget what I did to your father, and I don't blame you. But I'm not that person anymore"
"Well thank you, both of you." Remmy smiled slightly at her and Emma.
"Why don't we get you upstairs so that you can lie down for a bit?" Hook suggested.
"Yes...that would be good." Remmy agreed with him.
"I'll bring you up some tea in a bit." Snow smiled and hugged her. "I'm so glad you're okay." Remmy hugged her back thanking her.
She walked up the stairs and laid down. She did it. She brought Neal back. But she couldn't help but wonder what happened to that dagger.
