I slept for awhile that Killian convinced Snow to go home and he'd watch me but we knew the truth about what was going on. When my eyes opened I was merely more getting my power back in order with the pregnancy then really sleeping. Killian was sitting in the chair looking at me and he looked like he was rethinking the plan.

"Luv, step down from the plan." Killian said
"No, I worked too hard and you are not going to just tell me to stop! They don't know you're a dark one too." I said
"You're right Luv. They don't but you have limits too." Killian said

I got up as I fixed my outfit this thing could get tight in the wrong areas if I didn't watch myself. It was dark and I knew this was our time anyway but soon the door opened as Merida came in with Rumple. I looked at him as he saw Killian there unaware Killian gave the order.

"He bested me on his own. Belle is still alive." Merida said
"Get the sword." I told rumple taking all of us down there

I watch as Rumple went over to the stone but he stopped and looked at us. "You can't resist making a deal so I'll pull the sword but you give Merida her heart and give her answers she seeks." Rumple said.
"Deal." I said

I watched as he was going to pull the sword and I had Merida come close as I put her heart in her chest. Killian watched as he pulled the sword from the stone and then tossed it. I used magic to bring the sword to me as I had it's sheath appear and put it in. Gold walked over to me since he didn't know about Killian.

"You made a terrible mistake Amira White, you turned me into a hero." Rumpelstiltskin said
"Try as you might all the heroes in this town haven't been able to stop me yet." I said keeping my calm
"You won't risk that child, so who are you working with?" Rumpelstiltskin asked and I kept my neutral look on my face. "I am working alone."
"then why is he here?" Rumpelstiltskin said pointing to Killian
"My house, my husband, my kids all live in the same house as me if you have a problem with it get out." I said

Gold left without a second thought and I relaxed but now was the hard part as I had the flame and the sword and the dagger. I went over to the stone and set everything down but before I started Killian pulled me close kissing me and I kissed him back. The dark one inside me was never changing but my heart was loyal to my love him.

"Let me help you put it back together." Killian said
"I can do it." I said as he put his hand under my chin making me look at him "We made this curse together, we are going to do everything together."
"Your revenge isn't doing everything together, I'm just helping with one part." I said

Still, he insisted so I let him help me as we put the sword and my dagger together with our magic. I knew the magic was tempting but in my condition, I knew things were not always going to be easy. Ignoring all the dark ones around us was pretty easy as we were good together. I reached for the sword and took it by the handle once it was complete.

"See Luv, now it's complete." Killian said with his hand out to me clearly wanting the sword and I had to really think about it cause this wasn't just his tether anymore it was mine too.
"Luv, you trust me not to control you." Killian said
"I do but at the same time do you trust me?" I asked
"With my life Luv." Killian said as I put it on my side "then trust I'll give it too you when the time is right." I said

I walked away from the basement and I made sure to keep the sword with me at all times. I heard the sound of Killian following me and before we made it all the way to the top he pushed me up against the wall. I questioned his motives for this now that Excalibur was whole and it was our tethers united. I expected he would go to grab for it but instead, he stole a kiss from me and I kissed him back. His arms wrapped around my waist and my arms wrapped around his neck for that moment.

"What if I told you we could keep the magic and be free of the tether?" Killian said and I merely looked at home wondering what he was getting at.
"How would such a thing be possible?" I asked
"It would require a lot of magic and the heart of someone who knew us before we become this." Killian said

I looked at him in disbelief when he said that as I remembered what Gold tried to do with him, that was why I'd stopped gold. The boys were still asleep so Killian picked me up and using his own magic he disappeared with me in his arms. We appeared out by the docks where he knew I liked seeing the water how it calmed me.

"this is nice." I said,
"we'll figure out how to keep some or all of the magic." Killian said
"You don't even like magic." I said,
"yes, that's true but you make it so easy." Killian said then I felt him grab me again as we appeared at Gold's shop where Belle and Gold were.
"Amira, you're here." Belle said
"Yes, I am but this isn't my business to deal with." I said and looked at Killian
"Amira's right, it's my business. See Amira, shared her dark one powers with me in Camelot so now she's working with me on what I want." Killian said
"Amira, turned you into a dark one." Belle said

I stayed quiet keeping my hand on the hilt as I still wasn't giving him the sword yet. The sword would stay with me until I decided otherwise and since dark ones couldn't be killed with regular things it was all going to work out in the end for Killian. My mind figured if he got his revenge then we could move forward with our family.

"And now you've come for your revenge." Gold said
"the thought has crossed my mind, Amira has begged for me not to but I think it's time for payback." Killian said as he walked forward "Let's see, your daughter switches me back between the hook and my hand but just throwing it in for your actions I'll take your hand. Your heart for the pain and suffering you caused and for my wife having to sacrifice herself to the darkness to protect our son well your suffering will do just fine."

I was a bit speechless that he actually didn't say her name when all this revenge talk was about him wanting revenge for her. I questioned his interest in what was going on and if this truly was just about normal revenge now. I walked over as they were talking and took Belle from him on my own accord. Belle didn't seem to know what to think of my actions and Gold was just watching me.

"What are you waiting for? Get on with it." Gold said looking at Killian
"No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No. No." Killian said as he saw my actions "I've been waiting centuries for this moment. Luv, what are you doing with Belle?"
"Helping, he wants Belle back then It must all end where it began." I said
Killian smirked as he leaned over and grabbed a sword and threw it at Gold "Get your affairs in order, for we duel at noon on my ship. As Amira said where it all began."
"How Poetic." Gold said as he looked down at the sword then up at Killian "But we both know this weapon cannot kill you or Amira"
"that is true. That sword can't kill me but the one on Amira's side can." Killian said

Belle noticed that I had Excalibur with me and clearly it must have been whole otherwise I wouldn't keep it sheathed. She went to touch it but I had a barrier spell on it so she couldn't touch it. Killian though figured out what I hadn't since it was whole due to he hadn't told me what would come out of making the sword whole.

"now that both tethers are connected, Amira and I are no longer able to be controlled, but it can kill us if it touches us." Killian said "But you have to get the sword from me when we duel and don't even think of going after Amira. So, what say you, Crocodile? Shall we finish what we started?"
"Indeed." Gold said with a slight nod

Killian smiled at it and used his magic to have us disappear away from gold, I wanted this over with so I could have my happy ending with Killian. Thana appeared as she grabbed me and disappeared before Killian could even touch me. I heard Killian yell "No!" before we disappeared as I still had the sword and hadn't given it to him. Thana put me in a chair as I looked at her, the outfit I was in sometimes didn't make sitting very easy. I was about to say something when Emma walked in and slapped me across the face so suddenly that I put my hand on my cheek.

"You're supposed to be a hero, you turned Hook into a hero and you let yourself be corrupted by the darkness?!" Emma yelled at me
"I am still being the Hero Emma. The other dark ones want the light snuffed out and I haven't done that." I said "I have the sword! I could do anything and letting Killian get his revenge he's wanted for over 300 years is a bad thing?!"

Emma must have seen it in my eyes the truth on why I was doing all of this, it was out of love for Killian. I knew I didn't need the dark magic but it was tempting and it felt good when I used it. Killian was only getting a taste of it where I'd been using my magic this entire time under his orders. I stood up and for the first time, I had to run to the bathroom where I was sick. All the effects of being with child hadn't caught up to me till now but it was worse being a dark one. I wiped my mouth and felt so light-headed all of a sudden as I used magic one last time to get back to Killian just as I collapsed again. Killian had me appear in his arms before he would let me fall to the floor as he looked at me.

"the magic is too much, don't you see that?" Belle asked
"She'll be ok. She has a protection spell over the child Belle." Killian said

I awoke sometime later as I felt like my strength had returned and suddenly I was being carried. I looked seeing Killian was the one holding me and when I looked at how he held me I saw he had both hands. Thana's magic allowed him to will what he wanted and I figured he probably assumed this was going to be the easiest to him to carry me. He got us on the ship and put me on the wood in front of the helm as I sat there without asking.

"Stay there luv." Killian said and he made a motion with his hand as a barrier spell went over me. "there now during the duel, nothing can go near you. I'll make sure the sword doesn't touch you."
"Where is Belle?" I asked
"Safe, like you would have wanted." Killian said

I never sat here thinking I'd break it but he seemed confident I wouldn't need to move so I stayed right there. When Gold showed up since we were both close he put his hand in mine and we used magic to make sure gold's leg was healed then he took Excalibur from me. Watching their duel I had to restrain myself from my anger when Killian brought up his past..with Milah. I still thought I was going to forever be fighting a ghost.

"You really going to put your wife in harms way?" Gold asked him pointing at me

Killian merely smirked, "She's safe, a protection spell and she knows I'll never harm her." Killian said as I saw the hook return where the hang was.

He's really using thana's spell to his own benefit. I thought

Watching the swords clash was something else but when they got up by the helm I saw the barrier he put on me on kick in as they were fighting. It took all my control not to yell no when Gold's sword went into Killian but with Excalibur in Killian's hand he was safe. As much as I wanted to stop this I had to continue watching but Killian had it under control until Gold outsmarted him knocking him to the ground holding Excalibur to his throat. I wasn't going to let Killian die after I saved him by doing this and when Killian had himself disappear after gold decided to spare him just as I was about to disappear I had Excalibur disappear with us.

Belle was released back to him but the one using magic was Killian, that night we kept the boys locked in the house for their protection as we went by the lake where the dark ones in our heads wanted us to go. I looked at his hook seeing the blood of Mr. Gold and I knew this was a bad idea to even be doing this. Killian thought if we used the sword to get all the power of all the dark ones we could end this and be the most powerful in town. Yet I had my doubts but he put the hook in the water as we saw smoke and a boat. When the boat was close enough Nimue walked toward us, I recognized the mask she wore too well as she removed it.

"Nimue." I said as Killian helped her on the land and she removed her mask.
"We're here. All of us, as promised, in the flesh." Nimue said, "And now it's time to get to work, to do what dark ones do best snuff out the light."
I backed up some and put out Excalibur as she looked at me shocked "What are you doing you stupid girl?!" Nimue asked
"We wanted you here in the flesh, to do what we want." I said

Killian got by me putting his hand over mine as we used our power to absorb all the dark ones together to get all that magic. Maintaining that much power was hard to even on my physical form with carrying a child. I ended up thinking fast knowing we couldn't keep all this power in the end and I had some items I planned to use these amulets I found for us to wear wherever we went and I sealed enough dark magic in them for us to keep the power. Thana showed up taking Excalibur from us unknowing that I sealed some away.

"thana don't!" I said
"No Amira, it's time to save you both." Thana said as she tried taking the power from us but I trapped it into the amulets. Our appearances reverted to that before we became dark ones and we looked at each other. "One way to do this, to make the ultimate sacrifice." Thana said

As she was about to use Excalibur to take the darkness with her, Felix my ex betrothed from my princess life had come there. He pulled Thana to him and kissed her before she did. I ran over to her after it was done as I cried for her. I wasn't sure what to do but I clutched the amulets finding it better the dark magic we had was in these for now the temptation was too much.
