So, next week's update will be the last update for this story. I have a poll set up on my profile (If it worked. PM me please if it's not there, but I think it's there) about if I should write a sequel to Separated. I know I asked you to leave a review last week, but the poll will let me see who wants to see a sequel and who doesn't want me to very easily, so please go check that out! :)

Thank you so much for all the support on this story.

I do not own OUAT.

Chapter Twenty-five

Trapped

"So, where do I come in, in this plan?" King George asked Gold.

"The only reason I have kept you around is so you can do my work when I can't, otherwise you would be gone by now," Gold explained coldly.

King George took this by surprise. "What? But I have been helping you with this whole thing!"

Gold put his hand up. "I don't care. If you keep yelling at me, you won't be around for the rest of this 'thing'."

The former King glared and Gold. "Then why are you here?"
Gold laughed. "I'm here to tell you that our plan is only a few steps away from being complete."
"Really?"

Gold nodded. "Yes. The Saviour only can fall asleep and wake up a few more times before she won't wake up again."

George smiled. "Well, that is very good news."

After 8 hours of waiting, Killian finally saw Emma's green eyes again.

"You're finally awake," Killian said as he kissed Emma.

Emma nodded. "Yeah, I am. What did I miss?"

"Nothing much. Regina couldn't get the spell working so she wants you to go down to her vault and see if you can help," Killian explained.

Emma nodded. "Okay, I'll do that. Where's Harper?"

"Sleeping."

Emma smiled. "Well, I need to bring her with me."

"Why?"

"You need to go get blood from Gold, I don't think that's exactly a good Father-daughter trip," Emma explained with a laugh.

Killian nodded. "Alright then, let's get going."

"Regina!" Emma called as she walked down the stairs into Regina's vault.

"Hey, Emma. I'm glad you're awake. I could use some of your Saviour magic right about now," Regina explained.

Emma nodded and set Harper's car seat on a chair. She gave Harper her pacifier so she would fall asleep. Emma turned to Regina. "What can I help you with?"

Regina handed Emma a black container. "I need you to carefully place each item in the cauldron while putting a little bit of your light magic into each item."

Emma nodded and opened the container. She pulled out an ingredient and her hands grew white for second. She gently placed the ingredient into the cauldron. As soon as she did, the liquid in the bowl turned green. She did the same with the rest of the ingredients.

Gold waved his hand over the cell door and it opened. "Come one, George, let's go get that little brat."

King George emerged from the cell with a cold smile on his face. "Yes, let's go."

"Gold!" Killian yelled as he entered Gold's shop. He looked around and saw that the crocodile wasn't there. "Belle, you can come in. He's not here."

The front door opened and Belle walked in. She had a piece of armor on her arm and it was glowing.

"What is that?" Killian asked.

"It will lead me to Rumple's greatest weakness, which is his dagger. It's glowing brightly, so I'm guessing it's in here somewhere," Belle explained.

Killian nodded. "I see, but where is the crocodile?"

Belle shrugged. "I have no idea, but it doesn't matter. Once we get the dagger we can summon him and you can get just a little bit of his blood and then we can command him to lift the curse off of Emma."

Killian nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

Belle nodded and walked into the back room. As she walked towards the back of the room, the armor grew brighter. She opened the back cupboard but saw nothing but the chipped tea cup and the plate it goes on, but they weren't touching each other.

Belle then remembered when her and Ariel had found Pandora's Box.

Belle put the piece of armor down and placed the tea cup on the plate. The two pieces of glass grew bright yellow. Belle looked down and a piece of floor board began to glow. Belle bent down and pulled the floorboard out of the floor.

There was a black box there. She opened it and there was the Dark One dagger.

Gold stopped dead in his tracks.

"What is it, Dark One?" King George asked.

"Someone has my dagger. They have summoned me. I need to go." Gold disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Dark One, I summon thee," Belle said, holding the dagger. Killian came in and smiled. They could finally save Emma.

A cloud of red smoke appeared and when it cleared, it revealed Gold.

"Belle, what are you doing?" Gold asked.

"Saving Emma," Belle explained. She moved out of the way so Killian could get to Gold.

"This might sting a bit," Killian said. He lifted a knife and grabbed Gold's hand. He cut the palm and got blood on the knife. He let the blood drip into a container Killian had.

Gold winced. "You can't defeat me."

Killian laughed. "Well, we just did."

"Dark One," Belle began. "I command you to take us to Emma."

"I think it's working," Regina exclaimed. "All we need is Gold's blood and we're golden!"

Emma smiled.

A cloud of smoke appeared in front of them. Emma ran over to Harper and grabbed her out of her car seat. She held Harper close to her.

When the smoke cleared, Gold, Belle, and Killian stood there.

"Killian," Emma said in relief.

Killian lifted up the container that had Gold's blood in it. He handed it to Regina. "Here you go."

Regina smiled and opened it. She dumped it into the cauldron. "All ready."

"Dark One," Belle said. "I command you to lift the Time Curse off of Emma."

They all looked at Gold, waiting patiently. He finally lifted his arm up and waved it in front of Emma. Emma collapsed.

Killian grabbed Harper before she hit the ground. "Emma!" He looked at Gold. "What did you do to her?"

"I lifted the spell. She will wake up in a few minutes. It will be fine," Gold explained bitterly.

Killian nodded and rocked Harper to sleep.

"Now," Regina said. "Time to trap you." Regina waved her hand and a cage appeared. "Now get in."

Gold reluctantly got into the cage. Regina shut it and locked it. She went back over to the cauldron and picked up an empty vial. She filled it up with the liquid in the cauldron. She walked back over to Gold and threw the liquid onto it.

The cage glowed bright yellow as the spell stabilized. It stopped glowing.

"Is he trapped?" Killian asked.

Regina nodded. "Oh yeah. He's not going to be getting out of that."

Killian smiled. "Thank you, Belle and thank you, Regina. Thank you, both, so much."

Belle put a smile on as she fought back tears. "You are very welcome. I'm glad Harper and Emma are safe."

Killian looked at her sympathetically. Trapping the man you loved couldn't have been easy. He knew if he said anything else, Belle would start to cry and that was an area where he wasn't an expert. He decided to let Emma or Snow talk to her. He faced Regina. "Thank you so much."

Regina nodded. "You're welcome. Now, wake up you're wife so we can leave."

Killian smiled. He set Harper down into her car seat and knelt down next to Emma. He gave her a kiss and stroked her cheek. "Wake up, love. We need to go."

Emma's eyes fluttered open and she smiled at Killian. "Killian." She sat up and gave him a quick kiss. "Let's go."

Killian nodded as he helped Emma stand up. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel great. Now, let's go celebrate."
