"but... But... you're dead..." Killian stammered scrambling on to his feet, wiping his clothes down.

Liam looked at his brother. He stepped forward and touched his shoulder.

"Killian... So are you..."

Killian's eyes widened and he pulled away rom his brothers grasp. he pulled his shirt down a little to see... the mark was still on his chest... where Emma had stabbed him with the Hook.

"The Hook... it killed me..." he said to himself quielty. EH looked up at his brother again. "No. You must be a figment of my imaination, or I'm dreaming."

"You aren't dreaming Hook." Killian turned round and saw a young Baelfire, with the old Neal.

"wh..."

"my younger self died when i became the self i am now. or... was. The point is, you changed. you have become the man you used to be."

At that, a load of other people came from the door. Cruella, the snow queen and her two sisters, Peter Pan, Felix, Cora, Tamara and Greg, the Huntsman, Walsh and Stealthy. Killian felt a lurch of anger inside of him and stormed forward to attack not only the snow queen, but Pan, Felix, Tamara, Greg, Walsh and Cora. he was about to grasp his hand around Ingrid's neck until he felt pain on his newly grown hand, and the rest of his body. he grunted in pain and swivelledd around. when the pain stopped, Liam looked at him in shock,]

"brother... you have changed..."

Killian looked down. he was in his old Pirate attire, his hand was missing, but there was his Hook to replace it.

"Your hand... its gone!" Liam screeched and came over to cradle his brothers "hand"

Killian pulled away. "you dont know what had happened after you died Liam. I turned to a pirate. the king had caused your death so i didnt want anything to do with him. I drank rum. I stole treasure, I stole the Jewell of the realm and changed its name to the jolly rodger. That is where i went on journeys to different realms, different places. i met someone, her husband didnt quite agree so he took my hand and her life. the last 270 years i have been sailing to different un important places, until i met Emma."

Neal, Walsh and Graham (hunstman) all looked up.

"Emma?" asked Walsh

"Emma swan?" Said Graham.

"yes." Killian replied fustrated of what they didnt know.

"emma... is she... is she okay?" Graham asked, taking a step towards hook.

Killian pulled his head back, "do I know you?"

"Graham, Sherriff Graham. Hunstman known in the enchanted forest, Emma an I were together."

Walsh looked at Graham bewildered. "Emma and i were going to get married!"

Neal looked at walsh "Emma and I had a child!"

Hook looked at all of them disgust falling over his face like a curtain. "well Emma and i are no more, because guess what? she killed me. she got my Hook and stabbed me in the chest with it. The dark one is turning her heart dark, to retrieve his happy ending. If i don't get back to her, she is going to die, and even worse, Rumplestiltskin will take over storyBrooke forever."

Everyones faces was shocked...

"Brother... you're dead... you cant go back..." Liam said seeing the pain in Killian's eyes.

"i dont care. i will find a way." HE acknowledged and took a step through the door.

Through the door was a bar, a bar he recognised. The bar where he and his first love Milah had first met. he turned back to the others. "why am i here?"

"because you died you Dirty Pirate..." Pan said with a sneer.

Hook stormed up to Pan. "i meant why in this bar?"

"you know why Killian." said a woman's voice behind him. he turned around slowly and saw Milah.

"Milah..." he gasped

"Killian" she smiled and went to kiss him.

as their lips touched, Killian pulled away.

"Milah... its been around 270 years... I have moved on."

her face dropped.

"brother... Just accept her love..." Liam said behind him.

KIllian turned around again.

"how dare you Liam. How Bloody dare you. you have no right to tell me what i shall and shall not do. I am going to find a way back. back to my swan."

Neal attempted to raise his eyebrow, scoffed and said "your Swan?"

Killian looked straight into the mans eyes.

"my swan. yes."

Neal gulped and took a step backwards.

"Pirate stop. IF you contunue being dark in the afterlife you will have no chance on going back." said Cora.

"YOU BETRAYED ME!" he shouted at Cora. "AND YOU! AND YOU!" he pointed at Tamara and Gregg. "YOU WERE A DEMON AND HURT ME, AND EMMA, AS DID YOU AND YOU!" he shrieked at Pan, Felix and the snow queen. "YOU HURT EMMA!" he shouted at Walsh. "AND YOU... YOU DIED! AS DID YOU AND YOU! AND NOT TO MENTION, YOU." he screamed at NEal, Graham and Liam. not to forget Milah behind him. "I AM FED UP WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU LOT TELLING ME WHAT THE BLOODY HELL TO DO! now i'm going to find a way back to Emma, and if any of you try to stop me, well... you will have to gte to grips of what a Hook feels like inside your skull."

Liam took a step back. His brother was evil... this was not how he remembered him.

"brother... you have chnaged..."

Killian shot a piercing look at Liam.

Cora stepped towards him and took his heart. Killian Fell to the floor again.

"If you're going to kill me, then do it." he said simply.

"you're already dead you idiot." she replied. "can't you see it isnt beating?

He looked at his dark heart. No it wasn't.

"Its... its dark..." Liam stammered looking at his brothers heart.

"yeah? well i tortured and killed a few after you died." Killian said spitefully, taking his heart from ora's hand and placing it back inside his wounded chest. HE gasped a huge gasp and fell to the ground again.

"BROTHER?" shrieked Liam

"KILLIAN!" screamed MIlah as they crouched down by his side. MIlah was shaking him.

"Killian... my love... whats happened?" she sobbed.

Killian gronned sloppily. "feel my chest." he added to his slow breathless words.

Milah did what she was asked and shot a look into Her loves eyes.

"its beating..."

everyone starting whispering and murmering to themsleves.

"I have to come with you!" Milah cried holding Hook's hand as he started to disappear.

"no Milah. stay with Bae." he said softly lifting his hand up, he kissed Milah's hand and was gone.

All was left of the afterworld was Milah crying on the ground hovering over a shadow of a man. Killian had gone.

Killian's funeral was a quick one. Dr. Hopper said all what was meant to be said and Emma had a few words for him too.

"Killian. I met you in a strange place, at a strange time, where you were a dark man. I didn't trust you then, and i thought i never would. Until Neverland, where i opened up to you. you understood me, and were the one that was always there for me, we worked together. YOU were the one that brought me back to Storybrooke, so YOU were the one that broke the curse. You... you traded your ship just to find me. And from then, i knew i had been pushing you away, and that wasn't fair. But then, we worked it out. you once said to me that you wrere a survivor, that i never had to worry about you, but i believe that if you truly love someone, you will worry."

Emma took a step back, tears rolling down her pale cheeks. She bent down to the coffin, where she could see Killian's cheeky face. SHe placed his hook to the side of him, as with a flask of rum.

"heres to survivng." she said solemny and stormed off. walking away. She had to get out of Storybrooke.

Leroy started to dig the mud back on top of the lowered coffin, until knocking could be heard. he dropped the shovel and looked at the others.

"did you hear that?"

the knocks got louder and louder until the lid to the coffin burst open, Killian sat up spluttering.

Everyone looked at him in shock.

Doctor Whale rushed over and hauled him out.

"Mr. Jones? you... you're alive!"

Killian winced in pain from his chest, still severley damaged.

"no, I'm dead whale... thats why I'm standing on this Earth waiting to be bloody assisted!" He spluttered again.

"Sorry." Doctor whale quivered and rushed Killian back to the hospital

menawhile, Emma stood by her yellow bug. fumbling with the keys she tried to work out which one nwent into her car. Her hands were shaking and cold. She just new she had to go. Until a voice was heard behind her.

"Emma." It said softly

she turned around to see Archie Hopper.

She sighed and turned completely towards him. "What Archie?"

ARchie's face lit up a little as he walked over to the passenger seat of the car. he opened the door and sat inside. Emma turned back to her car and sat in it herself.

"what do you think you're doing?" She said sternly.

"If you're planning on leaving, please let me show you something first. Hospital quickly."

She looked into the mans eyes curiously, but started the bug anyways.

when they reached the hospital, everyone who attended Killian's funeral were nervously sat in the waiting room.

"why are you all here?" Emma asked sniffeling

just as Mary Margaret was about to reply, Docotr Whale came out from The ward. he smiled when he saw Emma and just ushered her into the room. She followed, not feeling very eager right at this second but soon found out why everyone was in the waiting room, what Archie wanted to show her, why Doctor Whale was smiling and why she should of stayed at the funeral for a little longer.

"K-K-Killian?"
