(Storybrooke)

Dark Killian's POV...

''Killian,'' She breathed, as I stayed where I was, my hands still behind my back, as she raised a brow in slight wonder. ''We need to talk...alone.''

I sighed, but nodded. With a flick of my wrist I puffed us back to the house. The one I had picked for me and Emma to have our future together in...But now that was all gone. Thanks to the hero's.

''I have been looking for you to, Swan,'' I smirked, as I grabbed the label's of her jacket, but let them go. ''this wonderful new look comes with some other abilities.'' Without questioning, I walked up the stairs to the house, as Emma stayed where she was.

''Where the hell is this place?'' She questioned, looking at me, as I turned just in time to see her walk over. ''I never saw this house before?''

''It's my place,'' I smirked, moving towards the front door, as Emma followed behind. Opening the door, I walked inside leaving the door open, as Emma walked in, and took in every inch of our home. ''What do you think, Swan. Is this great or what?''

Emma frowned, as she looked around. ''I'm even surprised you even let me in,'' She whispered, closing the door, before turning to face me. ''now that you are the, Dark One.''

''Just because I'm the, Dark one. Doesn't mean we cant still be together,'' I smirked, before walking off to the kitchen to grab some drinks for us.

As soon as I made two hot chocolates one with cinnamon and the other plain, I noticed Emma walking towards the door, which led to the basement. I suddenly felt fear rush through me. But ignored it, and puffed myself right next to her, catching her by surprise, much to my delight.

''Drink?'' I offered, holding it up, causing her to give me a raised brow. But she took it anyway, but to my shock she tossed it aside and It splattered onto the floor. Great that was going to leave a stain. She grabbed the label's from my jacket and pulled me in for a kiss.

''I take it that you missed me, Swan.'' I teased breathlessly, leaning in for another but stopped as she pulled away.

''It didn't work,'' She whispered in shock, as she stared at me with wide eyes. My own winded as soon as realization came upon me. Did she just try to...

''Ah, you've been talking to the bookworm,'' I said, as she looked down, avoiding my piercing gaze I gave her. ''And it didn't work because there's nothing you can fix, Swan. This is the man I wanted to be. Why cant you or your family just expect that?''

''We're trying to help you,'' She defended angrily, giving me a glare back. ''What the hell happened to you in Camelot? How did you become the, Dark One?''

I frowned, rolling my eyes. ''That's all everyone's been asking me today, Swan,'' I admitted, remembering my encounter with Henry and David. ''Why did I chose to become this...this powerful being.'' I mocked, before walking towards the door.

''Then answer me dammit!'' She screamed, with so much fiber. ''What the hell happened six weeks ago! That you have no knowledge of telling me or the rest to the town!?''

I paused, and spun to face her, my face softening just a tad. ''I wish I could, Swan,'' I whispered sincerely, as she walked over to me. ''but I cant.'' I almost chocked on my own words but fought it down.

Emma's face turned into a sad smile, causing my heart to flutter. ''Killian, you can tell me anything.'' she whispered, as if she could help me, but I shook my head, and wrapped my arms around her neck, giving her a small smirk.

''But that would be no fun, Swan,'' I whispered, my face inches from her own. ''I'm tired of talking of all this bloody nonsense. Now do you want to stay or not?''

''No,'' She pulled away from me. ''This is not the Killian I remember, the man I loved. You may think this is what you were to become. I want my Killian back. Not...this Dark one.''

I sighed and opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Just unspoken words, as she walked away slamming the door shut as she left.

''If you only knew, Swan.'' I whispered, before going over to clean up the mess.

(Camelot Six week's Ago)

Killian's POV...

I had been waiting for Snow, Emma, and Regina. To walk down the stairs so the ball could officially begin. I fumbled with my hand's nervously as I stood next to David, who gave me a look.

''You alright there, Hook?'' He asked, his eyes filled with concern, I merely shrugged in response.

''Just nervous, mate.'' I chuckled nervously, but the truth is I had danced with Emma before but not in front of her parents. Well the parents who knew her. David opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by a single horn blowing.

''Presenting Lady Emma and Lady Mary Margaret.'' The announcer said. Me and David exchanged glances with each other as, Emma and Snow appeared together as mother and Daughter, Swan was more beautiful than I imagined.

''Swan...you look-'' I tried to say, but she smiled and interrupted me.

She smirked. ''I know,'' she then grabbed the label's of my jacket and turned me to see Regina coming down the stairs, as Robin waited down with us.

''Presenting the Savior.'' The announcer said. Everyone applauded even me. As she walked down the steps to Robin. I had to admit she did look fine in that dress, But not as fine as Swan.

(Camelot Six week's later, 8PM, Ball)

Killian's POV...

Emma, had been dancing almost night long with a man who had asked her. And to be honest I was getting tiered of it. Finally I sat my glass down roughly and walked to her and the unknown man.

''Bugger off, mate!'' I angrily said, pulling Emma away from the man she had been dancing with for almost two hole hours. ''The lady's mine.''

Emma rolled her eyes at me, but smiled. ''Oh, Killian knows not the good time to be jealous,'' She teased. And I was seconds away from exploding when all of a sudden, Robin tackled a night.

''What the hell?'' I whispered, furring my eyebrow's watching as Regina looked at Robin with worry, as well as the rest of the people. I almost didn't notice Emma raise her hand to stick the night down, but I grabbed her . ''No, Swan! You cant use Dark magic!''

Grabbing my sword from my belt, I pulled the knight from off of Robin, and cut him through, watching with no worry as he fell to the floor with a finale sigh. But as I looked down at Robin, I frowned in worry as I noticed I hadn't been fast enough to save him from getting stabbed. Before I could do anything, Regina pushed me out of the way, and crouched down towards Robin.

''Robin!,'' Regina became frantic, as Emma pulled me away, as I watched David check Robin's pulse.

''He's still breathing...But hardly.'' He said, before looking towards me. ''I could use your help of getting him upstairs to a safe room, while Snow deals with Arthur and his wife.''

With a nod I helped pick up the wounded man, as Emma stood beside me and Regina held onto Robin's hand, as if afraid to let him go.

After getting the dying Robin, to the spare room upstairs, Regina pushed past me and David and checked on Robin. As she raised her hands, as if to heal him.

''Is there a way you can save him?'' I asked urgently. As the Queen put her hands by the wound, I watched as Emma stood beside me giving me a warming pat, as Regina tried to heal Robin. But to our shock nothing happened. ''Why didn't it work?''

Regina sighed, turning to face me. ''I cant heal him,'' She cried angrily, looking at her now bloody hands. ''The sword was enchanted to kill me...but,'' She paused, looking past me and to...

''No way in bloody hell!'' I yelled angrily, clenching my jaw, holding Emma closer to me as Regina looked at her. ''We cant let her use Dark magic. For all we know she would have pay a terrible price for it! there's has to be another way!''

''I cant believe I'm about to say this...but Hook is right,'' David sighed, making me raise a brow, at the Prince's words. ''This was the whole point of you pretending to be the Savior.''

Regina glared at us. ''The whole point was not for Robin to pay the price!'' Regina exclaimed, before looking at Emma, causing my grip to tighten. ''I'm begging you, Emma. Save him.''

''I-I'll try,'' She whispered, causing me to shake my head, and grab her hand just as she prepared to heal Robin. ''What?'' She asked, raising a brow.

''Swan, you cant!'' I pleaded, but she just shook my hand away, and walked away before suddenly looking behind me.

''What are you doing here?'' She demanded, causing me to look behind me, but saw no one there. ''how did you even get here?'' she asked again, causing me to frown, as I stepped forward.

''Swan, who are you talking to?'' I asked her, slowly resting a hand on her arm, which again she shrugged off. ''This is to much for her!'' I yelled. As Snow looked at Emma like she was crazy. As I just glared at them.

After watching as Emma talked to herself. I watched as she raised her hand over Robin and instantly healed him. I sighed in relief as he gasped awake, taking in a deep inhale of relief, as Regina cried. But I turned my gaze towards Emma, who grabbed the label's of my jacket and roughly kissed me. But I stopped her.

''Swan, are you feeling alright, love?'' I asked, looking at her up and down, still holding her in my arms, before she ripped from my grasp. ''Swan, what's wrong?''

She gave me a fake smile, and without a single word she left. But I quietly followed refusing to leave my Swan alone. Who was she talking to? And most of all what did this person do to her?

(Storybrooke, Killian's House)

Dark Killian's POV...

I was sitting down at the kitchen table, slowly moving my hand across the dagger, as the crocodile kept on rambling on.

''I thought I destroyed you,'' I growled, still touching the dagger, hearing the dark whispers echoing from it. ''after I puffed you away.''

The Crocodile giggled. ''Oh, you did, Captain.'' He stated, as he walked towards me. ''But there's more work to be done...Something bigger than both of us.''

I turned my head as the door to the basement creaked open, as the Crocodile continued to ramble on, before I got annoyed and puffed myself out of the house and right in front of Granny's, hiding in the shadows. Watching as Emma and her family laughed and clanked their glasses together. As Regina turned the dwarf back into a human and Henry showing a girl the music do-hiki.

Having enough of lerking in the shadows. I puffed myself into the basement, where the crocodile stood smiling wickedly.

''You see, Captain. No matter what you do, you cant escape the darkness. But you can change that. That's why you have that sword. You can do what no other Dark one has done. You can change your fate...and snuff out the light forever.''

I walked over to excailbur, using my hands to attempt to pull it out, But to my shock it blew me away, as the Crocodile giggled.

''Your going to have to try harder than that, captain,'' He smirked, as I got myself off the ground. ''If you want that sword. Your going to have to the price.''

I growled deep in my throat. Before dusting myself off, glaring at the former Dark One. My teeth clenched with anger, as I looked between the sword and the Crocodile.

''I'm only doing this because of what happened in, Camelot,'' I angrily whispered, as I walked around him, like a predator stalking it's prey. ''Because you as well as the other bloody Dark One's threatened to take something from me. Something far more precious than gold or treasure or power. And I will not let you control me like you controlled Emma.''

Without looking back I left the basement. before appearing in the master bedroom , painted with dark blue painting, and white clouds. I sighed as I grabbed the dreamcatcher from the desk the one's Emma had made. And put it against my chest and cried silently, knowing I couldn't have done anything back in Camelot.
