Emma being the Dark One was wrong. She was a nice person, that much I knew despite not knowing her. The idea that she was evil simply didn't make any sense. She'd wiped everyone's memories who had been in Camelot, and now she was plotting something mysterious in her house. Something that may or may not affect the town-and me.

I didn't pay much attention. Evan and I continued to progress our relationship, and I pretended this was just a normal town, even though it wasn't.

Then she sped up Zelena's pregnancy.


It seemed she had some plan to get rid of the darkness entirely by putting it all into Zelena and then destroying it. To do that, she wanted to get the baby out so she wouldn't harm it. Then there was something involving Hook, and how she had made him into a second Dark One to save his life. As soon as he remembered that, he turned evil.

"Seems everyone's turning evil," said Evan. "First Rumpelstiltskin, but now he's supposedly good now, then Emma and Hook."

"Yeah. But at least it's not really affecting us like all the stuff before did. It's just affecting them."

"For now. Who knows what an evil pirate will do?"


The evil pirate was dead now. He had summoned all the Dark Ones and had tried to get them to kill Emma's family, then sacrificed himself to save them all. But it appeared that Emma wasn't okay with that, now that the darkness was out of her, and had taken some people to the Underworld to bring him back.

"People can come back from the dead now?"

"Apparently."

"This town is weird."
