A/N:

So, this is an alternate version of the boathouse scene in 3x19. And this is sort of a two-part deal - the next chapter takes place after the events of this one.

And, because I don't say it enough, thank you to all you for reading, favorite-ing, and following my story! Your views and reviews really mean a lot to me :)

All of Me


Give me all of you

Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts

Risking it all, though it's hard

'Cause all of me loves all of you

A cry of pain escaped her lips as she was thrown back against the wall of the boathouse. Zelena stood opposite her, armed and ready with another spell as soon as she stood up.

"Damn!" Emma muttered as she tried to pick herself up off the ground.

She felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her, and she looked up to see Killian's face just a few inches from her's, his shining blue eyes filled with worry.

"Why don't you give her a smooch, pirate?" Zelena called to them.

As she let out a wicked cackle, Killian tightened his grip on Emma, moving so that his body was shielding her from the witch. Emma grabbed his coat collar in response, not realizing that she was imitating the pose of their first kiss. They clung to each other as Zelena shot a fire ball towards them. It hit the wall behind them, missing their heads by just a foot.

"Kiss her now, Hook, and I'll spare you both." Another warning shot was fired, this one an inch closer to them.

Emma looked at Hook with a desperate gleam in her eyes. "We don't have a choice, do we?" she asked quietly.

He shook his head as a wave of despair engulfed them both. He brought his hand up to brush the hair behind her ear. After all the flirtations and innuendos, Emma never would have thought she'd see Hook hesitate to kiss her. Yet here they were, victims of a stalemate.

"So there's nothing we can do to break the curse." It was more of a statement than a question.

"True Love's Kiss?" he offered weakly. Emma blanched a little at this.

"Hook, I can't promise that –"

"I know."

Another fireball was shot. This was it. Emma gave a slight nod, and Killian moved in slowly, trying to extend their last moment of freedom. As their lips met, Emma felt a familiar surge of magic run through her. It couldn't be…

Suddenly, Killian was pulled from her grasp as Zelena catapulted him to the opposite side of the room.

"You fool!" she scoffed as she strode towards Emma.

She picked up the blonde roughly and flung her across the room. Emma stumbled and landed once more on the hard ground.

"Time to see how well you do without your magic, Savior." The witch raised her hands to cast a spell that was sure to end Emma's life.

Emma vaguely heard Killian's desperate cry of "Emma, no!" as she focused on Zelena. Instinctively, she stood and pushed her hands out in front of her. The energy flowed through her, and this time, it was Zelena who was thrown back. Emma gazed down at her hands in disbelief. She still had her magic!

Zelena pushed herself up from amongst the shipping crates. "No! That's not possible!" she shrieked. But even she could see that she was on the losing end here. "This isn't over, Savior," she spat. "Not by a long shot!" And with those last few words, she disappeared in a cloud of green smoke.

Too stunned to move, Emma registered the sound of Killian's footsteps coming towards her. Once he was within a foot from her, he stopped, and she turned to face him. They just stared at each other in wonder for a moment. Then, without any words, they were in each other's arms, kissing fiercely. Emma was torn between feelings of relief and amazement: relief that they were both still alive, and amazement that she had finally found her True Love.


Thanks for reading! Part 2 will be coming up soon :)
