Chapter 17: An Apple A Day Keeps The Poison Away

"So what, you're just going to leave town without telling Henry? Killian?"

Her mind was playing tricks on her, she knew this was what she had to do but it was like she was battling herself.

"You do this, they'll never forgive you! Just remember who you really are, Emma!"

What did that mean, who you really are?

"You're a princess! You're Henry's mother! You're married to Killian!"

"No, I'm not!" She didn't know where this was coming from but slammed on her break and her tires skidded to wear she was millimeters from leaving town. What was happening to her? Everybody was getting in her head and she couldn't do a single thing anymore. She broke down crying in the front seat of her car, what was she doing? She had almost left a place she made her home, a place where people loved her and she had a family.

"You know, some men would put your silence as off putting, but me, well, I love a challenge," He said as he gave her a handsome toothy grin.

"Who's Milah, on the tattoo?"

"...Somebody from long ago"

Hook's face popped in her head, well Killian did. He had dirt on his face and he was wearing all black and leather, his hair was messier than what it was now and his scruff wasn't as neatly shaven. They were somewhere dark, somewhere that looked like a graveyard where they didn't bury the bodies and all the bones were left alone. She was having another one of those visions that she didn't understand. She turned back in her seat, looking at the long road she had just come out of, thinking about all her friends that she would be leaving behind, and then Henry popped into her head.

"You can't leave him, Emma! He needs you!"

That small voice in her head was right, she couldn't leave Henry, he needed her more than anything, he looked up to her and she couldn't leave without saying goodbye.

Once his hang over had cooled off and his head wasn't pounding as much, he rushed over to Emma's apartment once again. When he got there he noticed all the roses that he had thrown against the wall were all picked up, including the drawing from their wedding day he had stuffed inside for her to find. He hoped she had gathered them and not the cleaner.

He looked up at the door, getting ready to knock when all of a sudden he saw a folded up paper taped to her door. He took it in his right hand and tried to open it up with just that hand, he didn't know why but his left was useless today, he couldn't move it at all.

A lot has been going on in my life for the last couple of months, some things I can't deal with right at this moment. I would love to stay, but I need to get away, I need to relax and enjoy some time to myself where I don't have to worry about anybody but myself. When You find this letter, I'll already be gone, tell everybody for me please, and tell them that I love them. ~xox Emma

The letter fell from his hand and he quickly darted down the stairs. No, Emma couldn't leave, she was destined to break this curse, she was destined to be the mother she had always wanted to be! All the nights he had woken up and hearing her sing and talking to the baby, all the times she reassured their unborn baby that its daddy would find her and they would be a family. He wasn't going to let that all be for nothing.

As soon as he opened up the door to leave the apartment he almost knocked a girl over. "Oh sorry milady!" He was going to help her up when he noticed the blonde hair, "Swan! I thought you were leaving, I found your note!"

"I was, and I am, I just...I have to tell Henry in person, I have to say goodbye to him," She said as she pushed herself up and walked inside of the apartment, Killian following behind her as she walked up the stairs.

"Swan, you can't leave! Henry needs you...I need you." He grabbed her hand and spun her around so she could look into his eyes, "Everybody needs you, love."

She diverted her eyes away from his, she couldn't look into them without getting lost. "Killian, I can't do this. I'm not meant to be in a relationship, I never was, I can barely even take care of myself, like just look at my apartment! It's so small I don't even have room for a dresser, I can barely walk in my shower!"

"Then move in with me, let's become a family, just me, you and Henry" Killian suggested, hoping she would just say yes, but he knew it wouldn't be that easy.

She shook her head, "Goodbye Killian, tell Henry to come up." She ignored his question, she couldn't stay here, she just couldn't, not until this whole curse racket was done with and everything just went back to normal. She started back up the stairs to her apartment as Killian stayed there and watched, she had to hold back the tears, she never wanted to hurt him, she never wanted things to ever go this far.

Regina had woken up this morning feeling good, Emma and the pirate were no longer together and there would be no way for the curse to break, but then when she went downstairs and looked outside, she noticed her apple tree was dying. The tree that could survive anything was dying, the apples were rotting. Which only meant one thing, the curse was very close to breaking and she had to stop it. She couldn't go to Gold because for some reason he wanted this curse broken, Sidney was locked away in the asylum, and she only knew one other person that could help her...Jefferson. So that's what brought her to the station, luckily nobody was here yet. Rumor had it that Emma was leaving town, Killian was probably drunk somewhere and David was at home with Mary-margaret

"So, Regina, are you here to give me your part of the deal?" Jefferson asked with a smirk as he leaned on the far wall of the cell.

Regina laughed at that, "Are you missing something? I said I'd only send you and Grace back if you killed Emma Swan, and yet I still see her walking around town."

"What can I say? She has a lot of friends...or should I say a family that cares about her and would do whatever it took to protect her. Hense why I'm in here" Jefferson said motioning around the cell.

"Yes, well I'm willing to forgive you if you can just do one more thing for me, something that will rid the one person who's a threat to ending my curse..." Regina stated.

Jefferson's lips grinned, "Emma...Now, why would I do that? I want my daughter back!"

"Yes, And you will get your daughter back, I'll write you both a new story, I'll make you forget," Regina said with a grin.

He seemed to have thought about it for a couple of seconds, the offer seemed pretty good to him and if he were to take the offer, he wouldn't even remember himself ever doing this, "Alright, what do you have in mind?"

Regina smiled as she pulled a beige case out from behind her back. Jefferson knew exactly what it was by the way his eyes lit up. "I want you to use it one last time."

"I can't make it work, nobody can. It needs magic to work, which this world doesn't have" He told her in a tone, telling her it should have been obvious.

"Well, you're in luck because I just so happen to have some, not a lot, but hopefully enough," She said.

"Why are you doing this?" Jefferson questions, he didn't understand why she had done this.

"To destroy the one family I hate most!" Regina said as she held up a ring of skeleton keys. She was breaking him out.

David loved being home with his wife and son, just spending time with them. This was something he never imagined would ever happen to him, having a child with his beautiful bride. It had only been a couple of days, but he was enjoying it already, besides from the diaper part, but other than that, he loved it. Every morning he would wake up, making breakfast for his wife so she wouldn't have to worry about making breakfast herself while feeding Neal.

He had another strange dream last night where he woke up wet, but this one he was fighting off a dragon while trying to shove some kind of golden egg down its throat. At the end of the dream, he finally succeeded and then jumped out a window into an Ocean. Once again he was wet, but the bed was not, he didn't go back to sleep after that.

"David? Everything alright?" Mary-margaret questioned as she looked up at her husband who just seemed to be in a daze.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine," He said before landing his eyes on his newborn son, "How're papas, little prince?" The baby made a small cooing noise as David went and picked up the infant from its mother's arms. He was so small, so fragile, sometimes he was scared to hold him.

Mary-margaret knew something was up, her husband didn't usually stare off into space unless he was looking in her eyes or unless he was over thinking about something, but what could he be over thinking about?

"Alright, watch your step" Regina said as she walked down the steep steps that lead down to her vault with Jefferson not far behind her.

"What is this place?" Jefferson asked as he looked around and seen boxes, and vials, and things he wished he hadn't seen. Mirrors were hung on the walls and what looked like spell books were placed in small cubes.

"My vault. Where I kept the last bit of my magic. The only magic in this world is the stuff I brought with me" Regina explained as she watched Jefferson place his hat down in the middle of the room. Nothing happened, she was confused.

"It's not spinning. It's not working" He said stated the obvious.

Regina thought for a moment, of course, it wasn't that simple. "It needs to absorb the magic that's here, I have some things left, a few trinkets." She went over to a cob webbed filled cube and pulled out a small box, emptying out the contents into the hat. Still, nothing happened.

"It's not enough. We need something that still works" He said picking up the hat and seeing nothing appearing.

She remembered, her ring. The ring Daniel had given her, it was in her pocket. She took it out and looked at it, in the center of the ring, Daniel's face appeared. "He's somebody long gone, somebody, I love."

"Well, whoever he is, the object still has magical properties. Give me that and let me see what I can do with it" He said handing out his hand, waiting for her to place it in his palm. He waited, her eyes were teary and she wasn't passing it over. "If you want your revenge, give it to me." She didn't give it to him, but she did place it in the hat herself.

They both watched with smiling faces as electricity started to crackle around them and a purple hurricane was forming, except it didn't do anything else. It should have opened a hole in the floor for them to jump into.

"What's happening, why isn't it opening a portal?" Regina asked getting worried.

"The magic-it's not enough, I'm sorry, we're not jumping anywhere" He informed her, a little upset himself.

"Then you failed!" She snarled. Did she just give up her 'engagement' ring that her deceased lover gave her for no reason? Was this curse going to break no matter what she did? She was going to ripe this Mad hatter head off once again, just like how her mother did to him once, except this time, he wouldn't get it back.

"Maybe not," Jefferson said looking inside his hat, "We may not be able to jump realms, but we could reach in and grab something, something small, something that could fit in our hands that we could pull back. Do you have anything that would be useful?"

Regina thought about it, she couldn't think of anything, she bought mostly everything that would help her to this world, and nothing she thought about in the Enchanted Forest could help her. Then it hit her, the sleeping curse. "Yes! Yes, I believe I do!"

"Then you need to direct me to the time and place where this object exists," He said handing her the hat, "Just think about it, guide the hat." He watched as Regina took it in her hands, closed her eyes and thought about what she wanted. As soon as she placed the hat back down on the ground, it started to spin. "Excellent, so what is it that we're after?"

She smirked, this was now her moment, her curse, and that's how it would always be. "An apple."

An apple? Jefferson thought about what this woman could do with an apple, none of which made any sense, how can you kill somebody with an apple? But instead of questioning her, he knew better, instead, he stuck his hand in the hat and waited, waited until he felt something round and small. When he did, he immediately pulled it out. "Is this it?"

She chuckled happily, "Yes. Yes, it is!" She took it in her hands and felt around it. She never thought the day would come where she felt this happy again.

"Now what about me and my daughter, my Grace?" Jefferson asked, anxious to get a new start, a new life with his daughter.

"Not until the deal is up, I still have to take care of one more conundrum...how to get Emma Swan to taste my forbidden fruit." An evil grin slithered onto her lips, today was the day the savior would die.

Henry knocked on the Inn door, he didn't know what he was doing, he was supposed to go to Emma's like his father told him but in stead he found himself knocking on August door. As soon as the biker answered though he ran right past him and into the room.

"Henry, what can I help you with?" August asked confused why he was here.

"It's my parents...Emma still doesn't believe and isn't even close to believing, and right now there in a fight, so nobody but him can make her believe!" He exclaimed freaking out, "What do I do?"

August placed both hands on the boy's shoulders, "Henry, It's alright, calm down, she was destined to break this curse and she will, you're the only one left that can make her believe." He grunted as a pain shocked him in his gut, it was happening.

"August? What's wrong? Are you alright" Henry asked as he watched the man almost fell over onto the floor.

He took a deep breath before standing up once again, letting the pain subside a bit. "It started with just my legs," He said as he lifted up the sleeve of his jacket, "Now it's all over my body, I failed Henry. I was supposed to make Emma believe and if I didn't Rumplestiltskin wasn't going to make it stop...I failed."

"You made a deal with Rumplestiltskin?" Henry asked as he looked at the wooden arm. It was like nothing he ever saw before, it was amazing.

He nodded, "Henry, I don't have much time left, it hurts to walk, it hurts to ride. Soon, it'll hurt to breathe."

"What-What can I do?" He wanted to help him. He was Pinnochio for crying out loud, he knew it!

August fell to his knees, "Make...her...believe" He breathes out, "Go!" He watched as Henry ran out of the room in a rush, slamming the door behind him. August stayed on the floor, begging that Henry would succeed.

Emma sat on her couch, looking up at the ceiling, how did her life ever come to this? She wanted to stay in town but she felt if she did, the more Henry would believe in this curse and believe she was his mother, that just wasn't right and she needed him to learn it on his own. She was going to miss this place even if it was pretty small, but she would miss David and Mary-margaret and she barely got to see Neal and the people she'd miss most of all, Killian and Henry.

There was a knock at her door before she could go answer it, Henry walked in, panting. "Henry, did you run here?"

"Emma, there's something...I have to tell you" He said between breaths, he really did run the whole way here, which wasn't too far, but far enough to knock you out of breath.

"I do too, Henry, now come on, sit." She patted the spot next to her as the boy walked over confused and took a seat next to her. The air smelt of apples from the turnover Regina had dropped off as a goodbye gift for some reason, said she was sorry for everything she had ever done. She really did want to have a bite, she loved apple turnovers. "Henry...I'm leaving," She said immediately, wanting to get it out in the open.

"What? No, you can't! It's your destiny to break the curse! Everybody needs you!" Henry shouted as he stood up. She couldn't leave, the whole reason he was here and not in New York was because of her.

She stood up and went on her knees, taking the boy by the shoulder, her eyes were filled with tears. "Henry! This has to stop, there is no curse, you have to start believing in reality and not fantasy, I thought this would have gone away by now. This is why I have to leave, it's what's best for you" She said as tears started to sting in her eyes and her eyes went glassy.

"But it's true, Emma. August is in his room at Granny's turning back into wood, soon that's all he'll be. You have to believe, please" He begged, but as much as he did, her facial expression never changed, she wasn't going to believe. He couldn't do it, he jumped and threw his arms around her waist instead, holding onto her for as long as he could. Then he smelt something, apples? Opening up his eyes he saw a pastry sitting in a bowl on the counter. "Where did you get that?" He asked walked over to it.

"Henry, you can't do this, you can't skip school, you can't run away, and...you can't believe in curse" She said as her voice was couldn't do it, he jumped and threw his arms around her waist instead, holding onto her for as long as he could. Then he smelt something, apples? Opening up his eyes he saw a pastry sitting in a bowl on the counter. "Where did you get that?" He asked walked over to it.

"Y-you really don't believe?" He couldn't do it, he couldn't make her believe. He jumped and threw his arms around her waist instead, holding onto her for as long as he could. Then he smelt something, apples? Opening up his eyes he saw a pastry sitting in a bowl on the counter. "Where did you get that?" He asked walked over to it.

"Regina gave it to me, she said it was to make up for all the trouble she put through in the last couple of months," Emma explained to him, "why?"

Henry leaned over and smelt it, it was strong with apple, "Apple, don't you see what this is! She's trying to get rid of you, you can't eat it!"

Emma slouched her shoulders, didn't she just tell him he had to stop with the fantasy? "Why?"

"It's poisonous!" He exclaimed.

"Why would Regina try to get rid of me when I just told her I'm leaving?" Emma asked she wished this could just stop. She wanted him here to say goodbye, not keep going on about this curse.

"Because as long as you're alive, you're a threat to the curse! Her being kind was only a trick to get you to eat that, to get rid of the savior" He exclaimed, this was his last chance and he wasn't backing down.

"Henry! You have to stop thinking like this" She tried to sound stern but she doubts it was working.

"You leaving won't change anything, something will happen to you, Emma!"

She had enough, if he thought this pastry was poisonous then she was going to show him otherwise, maybe it would make him see reality. "Alright fine, Henry. I'm going to prove it to you." She picked up the treat from the plate as fast as she could. Henry tried to grab it before she did but he was too late.

"Emma no! Please, don't do this! You make not believe in the curse...or me," He saw how her face fell at that, "But believe me on this, don't eat that turnover."

"It's the only way to make you believe in reality, Henry." She brought it up to her mouth, about to take a bite.

"No!" Henry shouted as he ran at her, about to take it from her but it was too late, she already took a bite and swallowed it, but nothing happened.

"See, nothing. It's not true Henry, now come on, let's go take about..." The world around her went black, what was happening. The last thing she felt was her head slammed down on the hard wood floor, before hearing her door being slammed open.

Something didn't feel right to him, something in the air was wrong. It felt cold and dark and filled with Evil. He felt a pain course through his gut and his eyes flashed a vision of an apple in his head. The last time that happened to him, it was after his and Emma's first kiss where they started to feel and see whenever the other was in danger. "Emma...No!" It was Snow White's poisonous apple!

He picked up his jacket and ran out the door. The rain was pouring outside, the weather really knew when bad things were happening. He turned the keys in his truck, nothing happened for about thirty seconds when the truck finally started to start. It wasn't long after that he floored the gas and didn't slow down onto his was outside of her apartment building. His heart was racing, something was terribly wrong.

He jumped out his truck and slammed his door, feeling the water run down his face. He ran into the building and ran up the stairs, skipping every second step. When he got to the door he did not hesitate to turn the knob and run inside, but what he saw, he wasn't ready for. "Emma? Emma? Emma?!" She was lying lifeless on the ground with Henry next to her, trying to wake her up. "Henry, what happened?" He rushed over and picked her up in his arms, listening to see if she was breathing, she still was, but it was slow and unsteady.

"Sh-She took a bite of this," He said handing over the turnover, "I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to me." He had tears streaming down his face, he was going to be hysterical in just a matter of minutes if his mother didn't wake up. "Is she going to be okay?"

He wanted to say yes, but there was no way of telling. He knew she was under a sleeping curse, something made from magic and magic didn't work here. He knew that she could die. "Yes, she'll be fine," He lied, "Let's just get her over to the bed." He lifted her up and gently sat her down on the bed, pulling the blankets over her. "Alright, Henry, stay here. I'm going to do something, alright?" He waited for the boy to nod before he marched off. He didn't want to go see this person, the only person he knew could help, but his true love was in danger.

Regina walked into Gold's shop with a smirk upon her face, everything was going just how she had hoped. She could sense that the savior had taken a bite from the turnover, in just matter of time, she'll be dead.

"Ah, Regina, what brings you here today? Should I remove some things off the shelf for you to throw a tantrum?" Gold asked jokingly as he limped over to the women.

"Actually, I come baring some upsetting news for you," She said, "Your curse, won't be broken now, Emma has taken a bite from the apple, " She said with a pure and a smirk.

Gold smiled, "Did she? I never said it would be her to break the curse, I just said it would be broken." He walked behind his counter, feeling how the Queens' face had fallen and her eyes burned through him.

"What? Then how come whenever I wanted you to end her, you would say no! She's the Savior!" She slammed her hands down on the counter, strong enough the glass had almost broken.

"But is she the only Savior, dear? That's the real question here" He asked her, already knowing the answer himself.

She shook her head, he had to have been only playing with her, "No, that can't be right. There can only be one Savior!"

"Can there?" He loved playing with her and seeing how mad she got. He giggled as he seen her eyes go darker and her teeth clenched as she balled up her fists. "Maybe you should have listened to me, dearie!"

Regina had to go fix this, but who was the one who was supposed to break her curse. Who was it! Rage built up inside her, she wasted her only poison apple on Emma, the real savior and then here Gold tells her, she wasn't the one who was supposed to break it! Her rage was so high as she walked along the sidewalk to her car and shop window exploded and shards of glass went everywhere.

Killian watched the window explode, the Mayor was furious about something new, which wasn't a surprise, he just didn't understand why since she had gotten everything she wanted for months now. Emma was gone. He ran into the crocodile's shop, seeing him taking out a big black trunk and a big grin as he saw him. "Crocodile! I need your help...Emma, she's..."

"Yes! Yes, I know!" Gold shouted, "She's under a sleeping curse, thankfully there's a way to break it, isn't there Captain!" He wanted nothing more than to cut his other hand off, but he needed him for this.

He gritted his teeth together, he still hated this man more than anything, even if he got a second chance at a happy ending. "Yes, true loves kiss...but only Emma Charming had true love for me...Emma Swan is a different story, she hates me now."

"Ah, well then it's a good thing I have some of it here with me," Gold said with a smug grin as he pointed down at the counter.

"Alright, good. So come on crocodile, give it to me!" Killian was getting anxious, the longer he went without a way to wake her, the closer she was getting to death.

Gold sucked on his teeth and waved his finger back and forth, did the pirate really think it was that easy. "Actually, It's not here, I had somebody hide it for me, but luckily Regina brought that something, rather somebody over with her."

"Who is it?" His face went blank as he waited to see who it was. Was it somebody he knew and was good friends with him, or would it be somebody who would cut off his head and use it as a decoration.

"Trust me, you'll know when you see her, but I must warn you, you need a weapon," He lifted up the top of the black case revealing a sword.

Killian's breathing hitched as he noticed what it was, "Is that..."

"Your brother's sword?" Gold said with a smirk, "Yes, you need this to retrieve the true love, whether you survive while getting it...well, I guess that would make me happy."

Survive? What exactly was he going against? His hand shook as he went to grab the handle of the sword, it felt strange to be holding this after so long, he felt like his brother was looking down on him now, proud he was fighting for his family. "I'll do whatever it takes to make sure Emma's destined is fulfilled, even if that means dying in the process." His words were true, he loved Emma and Henry enough that he would die for them, once Emma awoke and if he was gone at least she would know he died a hero and he loved her more than any gold or any treasure in all the realms. She and Henry were his treasure.

Regina stormed into her office, furious. She grabbed a lamp from off her desk and threw it at the wall, having it shatter into a million pieces right on impact.

"Miss Mills, can I get you something?" Lacey asked kindly ignoring the Mayor's outburst.

"Leave me alone you beast lover!" Regina shouted making the poor girl jump and run off back to her desk. She was furious, Rumplestitlksin played her into thinking Emma was the one that would be breaking this curse when really it wasn't at all! She wasted months trying to figure out a way to kill Emma Swan when she could have been finding a way to kill the other person and maybe it would have been a whole lot easier.

she had to reenact the curse, but how? She had no more magic, she used it all on the hatter...she used Daniel's love to kill somebody.

Tears started to pour down her face as she slid down the wall and hiding her face from the world. All she wanted was to be happen and avenge Daniel's death, but all she did was hurt countless people and become a monster. She became her mother, the person who killed Daniel...she killed Daniel.

They were under the towns clock tower, it looked like a library that was never even opened. News papers covered the windows and books were filled with dust. He was shocked to see that there was some strangely hidden elevator behind a wall.

"Get in!" Gold exclaimed, getting anxious to get his magic.

"After you," Killian said, he wasn't trusting this man.

"It's a two man job, the elevators hand operated, I have to lower you down" He explained, "One of Regina's old friends are down there, her punishment here was different than everybody else's, she's trapped in a different form."

One of Regina's friends, wonderful, lord knows who it could be then. "Alright, got it. Danger!" The last time he had any kind of danger was in the Enchanted Forest, it was so long ago he didn't even remember what it was. "Captain Hook never fails, I've got this," He said stepping into the elevator.

"Oh good! So you don't need me to explain what you're supposed to do when you get down there" Gold said quickly shutting the doors before the Captain could protest, lowering him down as fast as he could.

He was about to protest and demand he be told what to do. He was a little nervous, it's been years since he did anything like this where he had the possibility of dying, but he was a survivor, he had a family, a wife, he couldn't leave them all behind.

When the elevator stopped down on the other end he jumped out, he was in the mines. It was a small hallway that leads into a big area that had a giant hole in the center. Looking around he noticed there were broken shards of glass, it was from Snow White's coffin, he remembered it from the tales he had heard 'the glass coffin that kept her pauce.' His heart rate was going up and he didn't see anything or anyone for that matter that even looked dangerous. He was backing up until he hit a wall, or what he thought was a wall. He started to feel it move and quickly he spun around, seeing a giant, black and purple dragon with neon green eyes staring straight down at him. You could see the fire that was about to erupt from inside her belly.

The fire that shot out startled him and made him fall back, he was not thinking he was going to wake up today and have to kill a dragon...a bloody dragon. his fall made the sword fall from his hand, he didn't see where it went.

The dragon was coming closer and closer to him, he ran behind a boulder and ducked behind it so he wouldn't get burned. What was he supposed to do now? The dragon must've come around the boulder without him knowing because he started to feel his arm burn and when he looked down he was on fire. He cursed as he patted it off, his skin was now showing, it was burned and stung.

He didn't know what to do, his sword was gone. He quickly got up and started running, jumping rock to rock, he was almost crushed to the ground when the dragon slammed down its claws and tore his pant legs. Was Gold right? Was he going to die.

He ended up falling down onto the ground and smacking his head on the ground. The world spun around as he lifted his hand and touched the spot he hit when he looked his hand was covered in blood. He looked up and he could see the outline of the dragon...he was going to die. "Emma, Henry...I love you!"

That's when he felt the cold metal slice his hand, it was his brother's sword, it wasn't there a moment ago. "Thank you...brother" Killian muttered as he threw the sword one last time hitting it right in the heart, making it die instantly. That was the last thing he remembered as the world around him went black.

"Henry?" Mary-margaret and David rushed into the apartment, they had gotten a text that Emma was in critical shape and needed somebody there to watch her and Henry. They had baby Neal with them.

As David seen Emma lying in the bed and the tear soaked boy he immedatly ran over to them, "What happened?" He didn't understand everything was fine yesterday.

"Regina...she p-p-poisoned mom!" Henry bellowed. He held tightly onto his mother's hand, not wanting to let go. His father said everything was going to be alright, but he knew it wasn't, his mother was going to die before she even knew who he was.

Mary-margaret held Neal which holding onto Henry as well, "Don't worry, I doubt that's the case, it's probably just some food poisoning." She hoped it was anyway.

He fluttered his eyes open, the world was vibrating and shaking rapidly at the start. He slowly sat up and felt the blood still dripping out his head and on his neck. He had to get back to Emma, he had to wake her up. Slowly rising to his feet he walked with trembling legs over to the pile of ashes and picked up the golden egg.

When he was in the elevator, going up, it suddenly stopped. "Crocodile! What's..." He couldn't speak, he was too weak.

"Hook, it appears the elevator stopped, just throw it up to me and I'll wait for you," He told the pirate as the man did listen, even though he didn't fully trust him, which he shouldn't have because he ran right away.

"Beast!" Killian shouted as he some how managed to climb himself up out of the elevator, the crocodile was nowhere to be seen. He should've known. He had to get back to Emma, before he bled out before he died, before she died, he had to see her one last time.

He managed to walk to Emma's apartment, even though he had to grab onto light posts and signs to keep himself up. When he finally had it to her door he felt relieved, he could see her and kiss her one last time before he was gone. He turned the door knob and immediately fell to the floor, he was losing a lot of blood by the minute.

"Dad!" Henry ran over to his father and seen the blood, "What happened?" His father was unresponsive as his eyes fluttered shut and his breathing stopped, he was dead. "Dad? Dad! No!" Henry cried, he had just lost both parents.

"David! Call the ambulance now!" Mary-margaret shouted as she placed Neal in his father's arm and rushed over to Killian, her hands were drenched in blood by the time she touched him and the floors were stained. She loved her ear to his mouth, he wasn't breathing. What had happened to this man, he was bleeding out, his clothes were ripped and his arm was fully burned. "David! Hurry!"

"It's ringing!" David shouted back, upsetting the baby. He rocked Neal as he looked out the window and listened to the ringing when all of a sudden he saw what looked like purple clouds coming there way. He lowered the phone, "What is that?"

Both Henry and Mary-margaret looked up as they seen the purple smoke coming into the room, they didn't know what it was, it circled all around them, went through them. Henry knew what it was...it was magic.

A bright light filled the room, making Mary-margaret and David close their eyes for a second but when they opened them, they were shocked to see the light was coming from Henry, from his body. "Henry...?"

Henry didn't know what was going on, he was becoming a light. It was light magic...he had magic. Has he whipped away a tear he looked down at his father. His appearance was changed. He no longer had blood coming from his head, his arm was no longer burned, and all his bruises disappeared, it was like nothing happened. His eyes even flew open and he gasped for breath. "Dad!"

"Henry?" Killian gasped, the last thing he remembered was looking up at his son as his eyes were being forced shut, "You...you saved me."

"Yes! Now you have to save mom!" Henry shouted, he didn't care about what just happened, he just wanted his mom back.

"Emma Swan doesn't love me, Henry! That's what the true love potion Gold had was for, but he ran off with it!" Killian exclaimed everything hit him, he remembered everything.

Mary-margaret and David just watched in the corner as they tried to sooth Neal, he was cranky and hungry and probably blinded by the light. They didn't understand what happened and were a little freaked out.

"You have to try! Please!" He started dragging his father over to his mother's bed side. She was still the same way she was when he had left, motionless...almost dead.

His son was right he had to try. He looked down at his green eyed son one last time, he didn't get to even have time to process everything until he was being dragged to his dead wife.

Killian looked at Emma before he slowly lowered his body down, his eyes flashing between her closed eyes and her own soft lips. It had been forever since he kissed her. "I love you, Emma." He slowly placed his lips onto hers, and in that moment a pulse of pure love shuddered out, bringing light to the darkness as Emma's green eyes shot open and she gasped for air, looking around her until she met his eyes.

"Killian..."

That was an intense chapter to write! Lol, but I think it came out pretty good! Did I have you guys fooled when Killian was dying?

I thought Henry should have magic since he was the product of true loves, true love (Emma was made from true love, and then Henry was made from that true love plus his mother and fathers true love)
