Sophia walked out of her room, bag filled with her stuff. She was moving in with her father and she just gathered the last of her stuff. Walking out of the diner she saw Emma across the street. Emma had noticed her and stood still, waiting for her to cross the street.

"Hi," she said.

"Hey," Emma said. "How are you, kid?"

"Great! I'm officially moving in with Killian today."

Her father had told her that Emma knew he was her father so she didn't have to keep it a secret anymore.

"Oh, well, that's great!"

They talked a bit while Emma walked with her to her new home. "You can come inside if you want, Killian isn't home till three and I wouldn't mind some company. I'm sure he wouldn't mind either."

"I don't know, I still have some work to do…" Emma shrugged her shoulders.

"Please, you can help me paint my wall. At least stay until Dads home so I won't be alone," she never liked being alone. Most of the time she was alone it was because she had no one to go or talk to, but now she did and she didn't want to be alone anymore.

"Okay but only until then," she saw the understanding in her eyes.

Sophia opened the door with her key, kicking of her shoes and letting her beg fall to the floor as soon as she was inside and walked to the kitchen. "Want something to drink?" she called from behind the door of the fridge.

"No, thanks, I'm good," Emma called back. When Sophia looked back at her she was looking around the house.

"Dad has been cleaning everything lately and also bought some new furniture. He said he wanted me to have a real home to come to, that's why it took so long before he asked me to move in," Sophia explained and took a sip of the water bottle she grabbed out of the fridge.

"It has changed a lot. The last time I was here it was almost completely empty and the nasty smell has disappeared too," Emma walked over to a table next to the telescope. On the table was a framed picture of her and Killian they took a few days ago. Emma picked it up and looked at it in awe and Sophia smiled.

"Come on, I want to show you my room," Sophia said as Emma placed it back on the table. She grabbed her bag and headed upstairs, Emma close behind her. She walked into her room, throwing her bag on her bed and pulling out her phone from her pocked. "What kind of music do you like?"

When Emma didn't answer she looked up to see her staring at the wall she had been painting. On her wall she was currently painting a dragon and the quote:

"Don't Fashion Me

Into A Maiden

That Needs Saving

From A Dragon.

I Am The Dragon,

And I Will Eat You

Whole."

"You made this?" she said in disbelieve.

Sophia shrugged, "Yeah, haven't finished it though, the dragon still needs a tail and wings and I still need to put some finishing touches to the quote."

"This is absolutely amazing, I know I said this before but you really have a talent for this. Perhaps you should consider doing something with it." Emma turned back to Sophia. She saw that she really meant it and that warmth her heart. She walked over to the corner of her room where she had stored her paint and paintbrushes. She gave a paintbrush to Emma.

"Care to help?"

"I don't think that's a good idea, I don't want to mess it up," she said in hesitation.

"You won't, just start somewhere and let the paint and music carry you away," Sophia grabbed her phone and shuffled through her playlist until she found one of her favourite songs, 'Neverland' from 'VanLadyLove'. She put the phone on her desk and grabbed a paintbrush, dipping it in the paint, she continued with the dragon's wings. Emma hesitated a bit but eventually got out of her jacked, rolling up her sleeves and started painting.

"What are we going to do now?" Killian asked Snow as they sat in their separated cells, feeling like all hope is lost.

"We make a plan to get out of here," he raised an eyebrow, how could she still have that much hope? "But first we need to find a bird"

"A bird? How is a bird going to help us?"

"That way I can send a message to my husband, tell him what Arthur has done," she bit her lip before continuing. "The chances that we go to war are big but we have strong allies and a big enough army."

Killian was silent for a moment, "do you really think going to war with Camelot is a good idea?"

"If it means for Emma to be safe, then yes."

Killian nodded, it was a pretty good idea, this way Arthur got what he deserved, Emma would be free again and he… well, that didn't matter for now. The most important thing now was getting Emma back and break the spell she was under and if that meant war, then so be it. "Alright, let's get ourselves a bird."

Killian walked into the house and noticed Sophia's shoes on the floor. Picking them up, he placed them neatly next to his and got out of his jacket. "Sophia I'm home!" he called. When he didn't get a reaction he walked up the stairs, standing before her door, he knocked. He heard the music stop and someone walking toward the door. The door opened and he was shocked for a moment when he saw Emma instead of Sophia.

"Hi," she said, smiling shyly.

"Hey," he got out barely hearable. She looked… he didn't know how because nothing could describe it, beautiful, gorgeous, adorable, amazing… he didn't know where to end. Her hair was in a ponytail, sleeves rolled up, a few brushes of paint on her face and arms, red cheeks and laughter still shining in her eyes. He just stared at her for a moment and she stared back, they were brought back by Sophia's voice.

"Dad! Look what we have painted!" Sophia grabbed his arm and dragged him inside, making him stubble over his feet and fall to the floor, taking Emma with him. He landed on his back, Emma falling right in top of him.

"Oops," Sophia said, trying to sound innocent but he knew she planned this.

He looked up at Sophia and glared at her, she just stuck out her tong. Then he looked at Emma on top of him and he felt blood flush up his face when she pushed herself up with her elbows do that they were now face to face, noses almost brushing each other. He wanted to kiss her so badly, kiss her until she remembered, roll her over and never stop kissing her again, but he couldn't. For one, Sophia was in the same room as them, and two, he would probably scare her off if he did.

Emma blinked a few times and shook her head, "Uh… I, uhm, was just leaving." But she didn't make any movement at all. She just stared at him and he stared back. He saw her slowly lean closer to his face so that their noses were brushing. She was about to kiss him when he whispered something against her lips that made her stop.

"Sophia planned this and she is watching"

He felt her laugh more than he heard it. "She's too smart for her own good," she whispered back and rolled off of him. He immediately missed her warmth and made a mental note to get Sophia back for this. He got back on his feet and turned just in time to see Sophia hide her laugh behind her hand. "But I really have to go now, I have to find this sword for Arthur," she said annoyed and turned to leave.

"Wait, what kind of sword?" he knew there was a magical sword called Excalibur in the Enchanted Forest, one with great power to heal in the right hands or destroy in the wrong ones.

"Don't know, it was wobbly with black markings on the blade and quite valuable. He said he lost it but he was obviously lying so I'm going to find it and ask around town if it belongs to anyone, if it doesn't I'll give it to him."

He shared a look with Sophia who apparently knew exactly which blade Arthur was looking for.

"What do you say if we help you find this blade, the more the merrier," he suggested as he looked back at her.

"I guess you could help me look, it would probably be a lot easier to find it that way"

"Okay have fun you two," Sophia said from behind them, mischief shining in her eyes.

"Oh no, you are coming with us," he said, walking over to her and swung her over his shoulder. She let out a yelp of surprise. He would be more at ease if she came with them so he could keep an eye on her. If Arthur was after the most dangerous blade ever made he wanted to have his two lassies close.

"Put me down!" she commanded between laughter, hitting him on the back.

He ignored her and extended his arm for Emma. "Shall we?"

She laughed as Sophia tied to get free from his grip but gave up after no result and nodded at him. She took his arm and petted Sophia on her cheek, earning a half-hearted glare from her and a chuckle from Killian.

King David sat behind his desk looking over some documents when he hear a chirp come from the window. He looked over to see a little sparrow waiting for him. He stood up and walked over to the bird and untied the piece of cloth that was wrapped around it's little leg. As soon as the cloth was off its leg he flew away again. David unfolded the piece of cloth and read the what was written in it:

We are trapped in Arthur's dungeons.

He cursed Emma to love him.

Send soldiers and a rescue team,

we are going to war with Camelot.

-Snow

David dropped the cloth on his desk, grabbed his sword and walked out of his studies. "Guards!" he called through the castle. "Prepare our army, inform Queen Regina and prepare a rescue party." He said when two guards rushed over to him.

"Inform the Queen of what, Your Highness?" one of them asked.

"We are going to war with Camelot and we need as much soldiers as we can get."

The three of them were walking through the forest, keeping their eyes open, looking for anything out of place. Of course Killian and Sophia would be more cautious then Emma. Emma walked in front of her and Killian, this way Killian could keep an eye on her and Emma.

"What does Arthur want with the sword?" she asked her father silently, making sure Emma couldn't hear her.

"Don't know, but I don't think he is planning to cure all the sick," he answered an she snorted.

"Hey, guys, I see something over there," Emma called over her shoulder and pointed in the direction of a red shining object. Killian jogged over to is, making sure Emma and Sophia stayed behind him. Coming closer they saw the sword. It was burning red and trebled slightly.

"What the Hell is wrong with it?" Emma asked as she took a step closer, but Killian pushed her gently back again to the place next to Sophia.

"Don't come to close, it might be dangerous"

"How could a sword be dangerous?"

"Well, if you touch it in this state…" A voice said from behind them. They turned to see a woman with orange her and a wicked smile. Emma put her arms around Sophia out of instinct and pulled her just a bit behind her.

"Zelena," Killian sneered, "What are you doing here?"

"Let's see… I was bored, took a walk in the forest, admiring every bit of green and then out of nowhere I remember that you would be here too. And well, I couldn't let Arthur have all the fun now can I?" she giggled a wicked giggle and waved her hand, sending Killian right on top of the red glowing Excalibur.

"No!" Sophia yelled. She wanted to rush to him but was held back by Emma. Killian started screaming and something as dark as the night surrounded him. Sophia could only watch in horror as the darkness entered her father's body. The screaming was painful, so painful that she cover her ears, closing her eyes as the tears escaped. After a moment the screaming stopped and she opened her eyes again, Seeing her father unconscious on the forest floor. Emma finally let her go and she rushed over to his side. "Dad? Dad! Wake up!" she sobbed.

Emma came to sit on his other side, checking his pols. "Sophia, hey, honey, look at me," Emma said and lifted her chin. "He's still breathing, whatever that was, its gone now and we have to get him to the hospital, alright?" she tried calmed her breathing. She saw that Emma was doing her best not to break down in front of her so she put on a brave smile for her and nodded. "Call an ambulance, I'll stay here with him okay?"

A few minutes later the ambulance arrived. They lifted him from the ground and Sophia noticed something shining under the leaves. When no one was looking she looked closer and saw that it was Excalibur. It was no longer glowing red. She pushed some of the leaves from the blade and froze when she saw what was now written on the blade that wasn't there before:

Killian Jones
