AN: Here's chapter two, hope you enjoy!

Killian stared at Emma as she brought the sword down. He wanted to scream, to run to her and stop her, but he couldn't move. Her magic still had everyone frozen in place. He watched in what seemed to be slow motion as the blade hit her heart, and then plunged into it. He heard her gasp, and watched the look of pain that spread across her features for a split second, and as it did, the darkness was pulled from her heart, until it was all absorbed by the sword. For a moment there was a hint of a smile on her face, but then her expression became blank, and she began to fall backwards. It was at that moment that he realized that he could move again. He immediately screamed her name, a cry that he heard countless others echo, but they sounded far away, as if he was hearing them from underwater. He ran to her, though he knew there was nothing he could do.

By the time he reached her, she had fallen to the ground. Though she was sprawled in an awkward position, he could not think of another time when she had looked so peaceful. Her eyes were closed as though she were asleep, and she looked like Emma again, not that foul creature that had possessed her body. He knelt down beside her, running one hand through her blonde waves. "Emma." He whispered, tears filling his eyes. He began to weep shamelessly as he stroked her hair, whispering "Emma", and "I love you" over and over again. With his memories returned, he knew that he had told her that he loved her, but when she had asked later on his ship, he had said he had loved her, but that he didn't anymore. Had she realized that that was a lie? Endless questions circled in his head, threatening to drive him mad.

He could hear other people around them, but he couldn't make out anything that was said. He knelt there for what seemed to be an eternity, until he had no more tears left to cry. He was slowly becoming more aware of his surroundings. He could hear Mary Margaret screaming as David held her, both had tears pouring down their faces. Regina wasn't crying, but it was evident that she had been. She appeared to be in shock and kept murmuring "I owed her my life." Henry had gone away from the rest of the group, and he too was crying uncontrollably. But nothing that Killian saw or heard had any effect on him. He felt absolutely no emotion, only pain that drowned out anything else.

He felt a hand on his shoulder, and heard a voice say "Killian?" He looked up to see Regina, his heart in her hand.

"Crush it." He growled. "I can't bear this pain. Please."

Regina shook her head. "I can't, she wouldn't want that. Try to think of it this way. She's free from the Dark One's influence. She's at peace."

"That doesn't help" He moaned. "Please Regina, I can't live without her."

Mary Margaret suddenly looked up. "Maybe you don't have to." She whispered.

"What are you talking about?" Killian demanded raggedly. "She's gone. She's dead!"

"Your heart." Mary Margaret began. "When I enacted the Dark Curse, I had to crush David's heart. But because of our true love, Regina was able to split my heart and gave him half. It allowed us both to live. If you and Emma are of one heart, you may be able to do the same."

"Can you do it?" Hook asked Regina, determination filling his voice.

"Yes, but if it doesn't work, you could die." Regina warned.

"It doesn't matter. If it works we both live, and if it doesn't we both die. Either way I don't have to live without her." Killian replied.

Regina nodded. "Lie down next to her." Killian did, and Regina took his heart in both hands, gently twisting it. Killian flinched, but the pain was nothing compared to the pain of losing his love. Once his heart was in two pieces, Regina knelt down over them, and plunged half of his heart into each of their chests. Killian immediately half sat up so that he could see Emma. He and her family and the people of Storybrooke waited with baited breath as the seconds passed. But nothing changed. A sob built in Killian's chest. He was still alive, and the woman he loved was still dead.

AN: The end! Just kidding, next chapter should be up tomorrow. :) I'm sorry about this chapter, I actually got emotional writing it.
