And the plot finally unravels :)

Once Upon a Time © ABC

Hook's P.O.V.

An uneasy feeling settled in my stomach the minute I walked out that door. Something wasn't right about that guy. Something seemed off. I continued to lay on the bed in my leather coat and fake gloves, staring at the ceiling in thought. Where the hell could that charm have gone? I'd already dug through all the bags and all the drawers and closets in the room. This was all Collin's fault.

Something seemed slightly familiar to me when it came to Collin. Collin... Collin... My eyes widened suddenly. Without a second thought, I was running down the hall and in search of my Swan.

Emma's P.O.V.

"Collin, what are you talking about? Killian isn't a pirate," I said, taking a step back and wondering how he figured it out. How did he know my last name?

"I've waited too long for this," he said. Instantly I was pinned against the nearby tree, the branches holding me to said tree and beginning to press into my ribs. I gasped for air as he paraded over to me. "My dear princess," he began, "I know so much more than you think I do. You can build your walls as high as you want, but I still will know everything," Collin continued, still wearing the other half of the charm. It's not his, I thought.

"You're crazy!" I yelled. "I don't know what you're talking about!" I said and tugged on the branches to no avail.

"Princess Emma Swan. Daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Mother of the truest believer. A product of true love. The savior of magic," he continued, stepping close to me. I pressed the back of my head into the tree to keep away from him. "And the true love of Captain Hook," Collin finished with a sinister grin. My mouth hung open.

"Killian. Killian was telling the truth," I said, not believing what I'd done. Collin laughed.

"Of course your precious pirate was telling the truth. And you should've believed him when you had the chance," Collin said.

"Who the hell are you?" I finally asked.

"You killed my leader many months ago. I once lived in Neverland, happily among the Lost Boys, one of Pan's proud minions," Collin explained. "Pan knew he needed someone in this realm too, just in case something drastic happened in Neverland. I was chosen as a fail safe," he said. "I was sent here, in search of the heart of the truest believer. But Pan was unable to see my true potential, and as years went by he lost faith in me. He sent Greg and Tamara in my place, and when they found your boy, the memories of my existence slipped from Pan. He believed I was dead." I glared him down. "But now that he is dead, I am here to avenge him. Starting with you," Collin said and took yet another step towards me. My ribs were beginning to ache. "I will let you go, if you lead me back to your town of Storybrooke. I will allow you, your son, and your captain to sail away from Storybrooke before I touch anyone," he offered. I grimaced.

"In your dreams Collin," I said before spitting on him. He backed off and made an unpleasant noise and wiped the spit off his face.

"I will offer one last time Swan. You may take your parents, Henry, and Hook and sail away for a happily ever after," Collin said, extending a hand to me. I looked at him with all the disgust I could muster.

"Never. You won't set one foot in Storybrooke," I replied. He drew his hand back from me quickly.

"Then I'll make you tell me," Collin said before plunging his hand into my chest. I felt his hand go for my heart, but when he tried to remove it, his hand wouldn't budge. I smirked in pain.

"Daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, a princess. A product of true love," I said with a grin. He growled. I managed to kick him in the stomach, making him stumble back and cough heavily.

"Then I'll make you suffer," he growled and plunged his hand back into my chest. I hissed as he squeezed the heart inside my chest. It was getting hard to breathe, between the branches crushing my ribs and Collin squeezing the life out of my heart. My vision was getting blurry and my head was aching. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly.

"Hands off. Now," I heard. I couldn't see anything when I opened my eyes; my vision was completely blurred. I saw something silver gleam from the moonlight, and I felt the hand leave my heart and the branches release me onto the ground. I fell immediately, still dizzy and disoriented from being strangled.

"Well well well, look who showed up. Here for your princess?"

"Aye," I heard. Hook? I heard footsteps coming towards me quickly. I think it was Collin. I felt another set of footsteps coming even faster towards me. There was a light gust of air in front of my suddenly, and my view became darker. "I said don't touch her. A man not willing to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets," Hook said. My vision was starting to clear. Hook was standing between Collin and I.

"Fine pirate. How is this a fair fight if you are given a sword and I am not?" Collin asked. There was a noise on the ground, as if something had been dropped. I heard the object be picked up. "Try me Hook," Collin said. I heard the loud clinging of swords, making my head ache even more. I sat against the tree trying to catch my breath and my strength. The sound of swords clashing echoed in the small clearing, and I just continued to close my eyes and rub my head. There would be an occasional hiss of pain or a grunt of discomfort every now and then. I sat in silence, awaiting a victor.

Back in Storybrooke...

Henry's P.O.V.

I sat on the couch enjoying the movie Peter Pan. I always had to laugh when pictures of Captain Hook came up. I preferred the real Hook myself.

I smiled at the thought, thinking about how Hook was going to be my father when the two of them got back. I was hoping he had the courage to tell her. I knew deep down inside that my mom loved Killian just as much as he loved her. I wonder what Mary Margaret and David will think...

Right on cue, David walked right in the door. He placed Emma's badge on the counter and shrugged off his jacket.

"How's the station?" I asked. Maybe I should tell them about Killian...

"Fine. Boring without your mom around," he said with a smile. I smiled back. Mary Margaret walked into the kitchen to greet him. She gave his a chaste kiss before smiling at him.

"How was work?" She asked sweetly. David chuckled.

"Exhausting. I don't know how Emma puts up with all that paperwork for so long on her own. She must get so bored," David explained.

"Well I'm sure she won't be bored when she comes home with the other half of that charm," Mary Margaret said with a light tone in her voice. "I really can't wait to meet him," she continued on. "They'll more than likely need a new apartment, or perhaps we should move out... What do you think dear?" Mary Margaret asked. He hummed in content.

"Perhaps it's time we move out," David said as he wrapped his arms around his wife from behind.

"It would be nice to have our own place," she replied. "Oh, I just can't wait to meet him David. I wonder what he looks like?" Mary Margaret wondered. I chuckled, apparently a bit too loudly.

"What're you laughing at?" David asked suspiciously. I shrugged.

"It's a funny movie," I said, not even paying attention to the fact there were commercials on right now. David strolled over. Mary Margaret eavesdropped from the kitchenware she put dishes away.

"There's something here we don't know. And you obviously know it. What did Emma tell you?" David asked curiously as Mary Margaret quieted the dishes a bit.

"Let's just say you're in for a huge surprise when she gets home," I replied with a knowing smirk. David wasn't amused.

"You know who it is, don't you?" He asked. I grinned widely in reply. "Then it must be someone you've met before. They must live in Storybrooke, since that's the only place you could've met anyone decent. But why when she comes home? Why'd she leave if her charm is in town?"

"Well it was in town," I said, now facing the TV.

"Henry, I swear, if you say who I'm thinking of-"

"It's Killian," I said, now casually eating the can of mixed nuts left on the table. Dishes shattered in the kitchen suddenly, and David and I turned to Mary Margaret quickly. Her eyes were as big as the plates she'd just dropped and broken.

"What?" David asked, only slightly angry.

"Look, he hid it from Emma because he knew she wouldn't want a soul mate in her life and he was worried about your approval. I'm sure they're figuring things out now," I finished with a knowing smirk.

"I've got a pirate for a son-in-law," David said slowly while sitting down. Mary Margaret suddenly laughed.

"I knew it," she said as she stepped around the now broken glass. David looked at her with a serious expression.

"Our daughter is falling in love with Captain Hook and you're ok with this?!" David yelled. She laughed again.

"You can't stop true love Charming. Besides, Henry's happy," she said, nodding to me as I smiled at David.

"Alright alright fine. I'm not believing any of this until those two get back," David said. I sat silently on the couch with a knowing grin. I couldn't wait until Emma got home.

Emma's P.O.V.

My vision was now clear, but my head was still spinning and I felt sick and weak. I hated feeling this way, needing someone else to fight for me. It made me feel absolutely useless. I could hear Collin's voice uncomfortably close to me.

"Just imagine. What would happen if your dear princess slipped into a sleeping curse? And then I was able to kill you off? Wouldn't that just be a shame now," Collin said, fiddling with something in his pocket. I gasped and tried to stand, but my ankles were weak from being restricted by tree branches. No. It can't end like this. "Or worse. Death," Collin finished as he turned to me. Suddenly dumping a glowing pink liquid onto me, I felt very dizzy. Within a few seconds everything was black.

I opened my eyes to find myself inside a burning room. It was extremely hot. I had my dress and heels on. There was no way out. I was trapped inside the room to burn alive. I began to panic.

Hook's P.O.V.

"Swan!" I yelled as her eyes slipped shut. My mouth hung open in shock. She was gone. Collin grinned sinisterly at me. I growled and swung my sword right at him. He stumbled back a bit; we were both cut up from our fight already. I viciously knocked him to the ground and kicked his sword away, placing my boot on top of his chest.

"If you ever come near me or my family again, I will kill you," I said, my eyes the coldest blue you could imagine. I leaned down towards him and ripped my charm off his neck. He nodded and I pressed down harder. "Run. Don't ever look back," I said and removed my boot. Without a second thought, he was up and gone. That would be the last time I'd see Collin.

I'm getting to like these cliff hangers. Mwahahaha :)

So close to the end :( not sure how to feel about that…
