Early in the morning Snow had woken Killian and they continued their journey. After about an hour walking Snow spoke to him, "I heard you talking last night."

He looked down and she saw the tips of his ears become a little red. "My apologies if I woke you."

She ignore his apology and went straight to the point, "Who's Liam?"

"My brother," he said after a moment of silence. When he didn't continue she asked him another question.

"You said you and Arthur had a history, what happened?"

He laughed half-heartedly and looked up at the sky. "Why all of a sudden all these questions?" he asked a bit nervous.

"Because I want to know who the man is that fancies my daughter."

After a moment he spoke again, "When my brother and I were young our mother had died and our father abandoned us. We had nothing. One day we met this boy whose parents were the king and queen of the land. He took us to his home and his parents were the kindest people I've ever met."

She saw him smile a bit at the memory.

"The king and queen gave me and my brother a home and we became close with the prince. The three of us did everything together, we played together, we learned how to swordfight together, we drank together, we had the same teacher. For a long time it was just the three of us.

"That was until my brother joined the navy. For a few years is was just the two of us. Then I joined the navy as well and Arthur was left alone in the castle while we had great adventures. He always was the jealous type, even back then. My brother met this woman when we visited Camelot after a few years and fell in love with her. Arthur also fell in love with her after Liam got engaged to her.

"A week after their engagement Arthur send us on a dangerous mission. We failed and Liam got poisoned. We got back just in time for Liam to get healed but Arthur told us there was no antidote." He let out a humourless laugh. "I was young and believed him because he was the king. Only after my brother's death I found the antidote in Arthur's room. I was furious and didn't think clearly when I attacked Arthur. He send me to the dungeons but I escaped. Turned into a pirate and tried to get my revenge.

"When I heard about the engagement ball I planned on killing him that night. But he somehow knew I was coming for him and sat a trap. I lost my hand and was send 300 years into the past. In the past I found a magic bean and went to Neverland. There I spend the past few 300 and a bit more years."

Snow thought his story over. He had been through a lot and he did all this for his brother. He could have gave up after Arthur send him 300 years in the past but he didn't, which means that he isn't someone who gives up easily and that is just what she needed to save her daughter.


"Here it is," Killian said as they approached a tunnel with an iron fence in the sidewall of the castle. "The only problem is the fence that was placed here after my last escape through here."

"That won't be a problem," Snow said and searched for something in her satchel. When she found what she was looking for and held it up to him. "Fairy dust, I always have some with for occasions like this."

Killian was stunned for a bit when she walked forward and placed a bit of the dust on her hand, blowing it on the iron fence. In only a few second the entire gate was gone. Snow walked inside and he followed behind her. They were so close now, the only thing they have to do now is find out where they kept Emma, take her and get the Hell out of here. They walked through the tunnel. The further they went the more voices they heard. At the end of the tunnel there were a few guards talking.

"That pretty blond the King brought in has fire," one of them said.

"She's a princess, the princess of Misthaven, did you know?" another said.

"That's probably why the King keeps her close to him where ever he goes."

"Zelena, the witch, is there now too."

"What do you think they want with her?"

"I have no idea but I don't think the princess would like it."

Another guard walked over to the group. "The gate in the wall is gone. We need a few men to come with us while the others keep watch outside the dining hall where the King and his princess are."

A few 'I'll go' and 'we'll stay here' were said and they walked away. Killian waved Snow to follow him and they sneaked through the halls that were surprisingly empty. The doors to the dining hall were blocked by guards. Killian was about to sneak up behind them and knock them out but Snow rushed forward and knocked both guards out cold.

"That's for helping the man who kidnapped my daughter," she snarled at them and Killian knew he had to keep his distances, she was clearly pissed off. Killian silently drew his sword and Snow grabbed an arrow, laying it on the rest of her bow. Killian nodded at her, she nodded back and kicked the doors open, raising her bow.

"Let my daughter go," she growled as she saw Arthur standing before Emma.

"No! it's a trap!" Emma screamed at them.

Killian rushed forward with his sword raised, ready to launch but his body froze in place. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Snow has been frozen too. Arthur smiled wicked at them and a woman in black and green appeared from behind a pillar, also with a wicked smile.

"Just in time," Arthur said. "Zelena, if you would be so kind." He gestured to Emma.

"With pleasure," Zelena walked to Emma with a vial in her hand. Arthur stepped back and Zelena opened the vial, standing before Emma. Emma kept her mouth shut tight. "She's a stubborn one."

With a swipe of her hand Emma opened her mouth but Killian saw she didn't do it willingly. Her eyes where full of fear as she looked at him while Zelena poured the potion in her mouth. With another swipe Emma closed her mouth, swallowed and her gaze was cast down. Zelena quickly moved away and Arthur kneeled down before her.

Emma looked into his eyes and Killian knew something was very wrong, because she looked at him like he was the love of her life. "Arthur," he heard her whisper. Something inside Killian broke with the way she said it. Her binds were suddenly unbound and she threw herself against Arthur.

"Slow down darling, we have company," Arthur gestured toward Killian and she looked over at him. Her eyes darkened at the sight of him and he only saw hate in her gaze that was full of love just a few second ago. She stood up and walked toward him. He felt that he had been released from whatever spell he had been under. Emma stood before him now and his heart hammered in his chest. In her gaze he only found hate, anger and o so much hate. Every piece of his broken heart broke again, it only got worse when she spoke to him.

"You arrogant, dirty pirate," she began and he took a step back as she took one forward, "you stupid, selfish bastard!"

"Why, if I may ask, are you calling me that?" he tried not to take it to personally because he knew she was under some kind of spell, still it hurts him.

"Why do you think?" she pointed at him as she continued, "Arthur told me everything before you arrived, about how you and your brother were best friends! How your idiotic brother took the love of his life! How Arthur finally got rid of him and you got so angry you almost ruined his life just because your o so dear brother died so he could get his love."

She was definitely under some kind of spell, he didn't know Emma that long but she would never approve of what Arthur did to his brother and to him. He had to brake this spell -or curse- before something really bad happens.

"Emma, listen to me, this isn't you, he gave you something that made you hate me, please listen to me," he tried but he didn't seem to get through to her.

"Guards, take him to the dungeons"

The guards looked questioning at Arthur, "do as the lady commands." Arthur said and the guards grabbed him roughly and pulled him out of the room.

"Don't think this is over Arthur!" he yelled back at Arthur before the doors closed behind them.


"Mother!" Emma squealed happily, pulling her mother in an embrace when she was released from the spell that Zelena put on her. Snow was a bit stunned with everything that just had happened. Emma pulled back from the embrace and grabbed her mother's hands. "Sorry for what just happened but I'm so glad you're here."

Snow put on a fake smile, "and why it that, my dear?"

"Arthur asked me to marry him before you came and I just can't wait to marry him!" Snow did her best to hide the horror she felt flowing over her. "You have to help me pick out a dress!"

Snow knew something was really wrong with everything that was going on. Emma would never marry a man like Arthur, she would never send Killian to the dungeons, Arthur must have put her under some kind of spell, that was the only explanation for her weird behaver.

"Well, come on than, Honey, let's find you a dress," she said with a fake sweet smile and pulled her daughter out of the room, hoping the dungeons weren't that hard to find. She dragged her daughter through the entire castle before she finally found them. She sighed in relief and entered them, keeping a look on her face that told the guards to not question her or they would regret it.

"Mom, why are we going to the dungeons?" Emma asked as her mother dragged her through the halls to the dungeons.

"A… uhm… really good dress tailor works here," Snow answered as she began to move faster.

"Oh, okay!"

She was going to kill Arthur for doing this to her daughter. They entered the dungeons and walked past all the cells under she saw Killian. She stopped and turned to Emma. "Emma I need you to turn around and stay here until I get back with the tailor okay?"

Emma nodded and turned around. Snow quickly walked over to Killian's cell, but stopped when she saw guards coming her way. She grabbed two small daggers, walking past the men and stabbing them in the neck. She was really pissed right now and she didn't want anyone to hold them back. She grabbed the keys from one of the guards and made her way to Killian's cell, opening it.

"Bloody He-"

"We don't have time for this," she hissed, "let's get out of here."

She turned and walked back to Emma, grabbing the sleeping powder out of her satchel and pouring it on a cloth. she stood behind her daughter and whispered, "I'm sorry, Emma" before pushing the cloth over her nose and mouth from behind. Emma fell into her and she held her upright as good as she could.

"Hook, you have to carry her as we make our escape," she informed him.

"As you wish," he said, grabbing Emma gently and flung her over his shoulder, making sure she didn't fall. As fast as they could they headed toward the secret tunnel they came through. They almost made it when the guards started screaming. "Hey! You two! Stop!" they were running now but not for very long because they were stopped by guards that came from the opposite direction.

Arthur and Zelena appeared in a green cloud of smoke before them. "Did you really think it would be that easy?" Arthur asked and laughed at them.

"I was kind of hoping it would be," Snow said, slowly preparing for the battle, noticing Killian doing the same.

"Disarm them and make sure my queen is in her room," Arthur said to Zelena. With one sweep of her hand their weapons gone and Emma was no longer on Killian's shoulder. The guards were slowly closing in on them. "It's a pity you did this Snow White, I was hoping she could at least have her mother at the wedding, but how can I let you walk free now?"

Snow clenched her fist and launched forward, aiming for his face. He reacted to late and she hit him strait on the nose. He fell backwards and guards immediately grabbed her arms to hold her back. She was roughly carried away toward the dungeons. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Killian fighting of a few guards before getting hit a few times and being handled the same way as her.
