Summary : After Emma leaves Killian on the beanstalk a Fate comes and sends Hook to the future. How will Hook react to seeing the Dark swan?
In case you don't know fates are things that control the thread between life and death, I had wrote this way before the whole Hades and Underworld thing...I had been rewatching Hercules on tv and decided to include the fate..
Takes place after 5x3 for Killian and the others and 2x6 for Hook..I know time travel is confusing..
Sorry, if this seems rushed...I wanted to finish it orginally it was going to be a really long one shot with a far more complicated pliot and I feel very unsure if I should publish this or not..
Killian growled as he tried to break free from the chains. That Swan girl was more of a handful then he expected. He did not know why but, he felt drawn to her in some way. He had no idea why he offered to help her get the compass. But, he did not regret helping her, he regretted not letting her know he could be trusted sooner.
He just offered to help her get to the beanstalk instead of Cora he did not exactly say that he wouldn't back stab them. He should have. Emma was a complex puzzle just waiting for him to figure out.
Suddenly the giant from earlier stomped over and let him go. Killian looked at him with confusion and wonder. This giant was letting him go, the same giant that tried to leave him for dead under a pile of debris was setting him free.
" He is not a beast and you are not going to die, I just need a head start is all I'm sorry"..He heard echo in his head. Killian's surprise melted into a wide smile. She truly was brilliant.
" Thank you for letting me go, tell me what is your name"? Killian asked
"My name is Anton and the only reason I have spared your life is because Emma had requested I do so. Now, get out before I change my mind". Anton said he seemed almost embarrassed and ashamed for having to let him go but Killian still operated the giant's kindness.
"Anton what ever my kind did you I'm sorry. We all had heard the tale of Jack and the beanstalk, I had chosen to follow that tale to the letter. Which was bad form I of all people know what's like to have false reputations. ". Killian said sincerely
Anton nodded and said, " Thank you for understanding, now go I sense a storm is coming and it will be hard to climb down the beanstalk when its wet so I suggest you start climbing".
Suddenly there was a cloud of purple smoke revealing Cora standing there before Killian. Killian gripped on to his sword. He knew he stood no chance against her with her magic but, maybe if he distracted her long enough he could escape.
" Why captain it seems you went on quite a adventure, unfortunately we have been waiting you for some time. I'm merely taking the form of the queen of hearts but i'm whats known as a Fate".
Killian gasped and said, "The creatures that can give life or take life, the ones in charge of who lives and who dies".
The Fate laughed and said, "That is not all we can do we also possess time magic, would you like me to show you"?
Killian frowned and said, " Why are you doing this what is your goal answer me"! he demanding hold out his sword.
The Fate did not answer him instead it opened an orange portal and fling Killian inside of it. Killian closed his eyes and wondered what his future would be like. Would he ever be redeemed? Would he ever find love again? Would he get his revenge or would he give it up?
Killian groaned his body fell on something hard, he knew he was not in the enchanted forest the moment he opened his eyes and looked around at the strange surroundings around him. Where is he? When is he? It appeared to be the world without magic.
He was on the side of a trail only instead of it being made of dirt it was black and had strange lines on the ground. He looked up at the sign and smirked when he read what the sign said.
Welcome Storybrooke
Killian walked through the time line, which was protected by some kind of cloaking magic. To keep the town secret from the rest of the world. Killian wanted to find Rumpelstiltskin but, he could not just walk into his town and expect to wonder into the crocodile.
Killian could not help but look at the town with child like wonder it was unlike anything he had ever seen. Killian could not help but feel excited when he noticed how big the docks were. He wished the Fate had brought him the Jolly Rodger but they probably didn't because then he would have a chance to escape.
Suddenly Killian saw a ship being docked on to the harbor, Killian gasped when he saw the Jolly Rodger coming back. When the Ship landed back Killian hid behind another boat to take a look at who was there on his ship.
It was him! Only his clothes were slightly different. He did not have his pirate outfit on and it looked like he reduced his eyeliner a bit other then that he looked the same. He seemed angry, frustrated and sad.
Killian watched his future self sit down on a bench looking out at the sea, he was holding something which he could not see because he was leaning against the boat.
Hook stunk in closer towards the man to get a better view of what he was looking at. It was a portrait of some kind. It was a portrait of him and Emma he was kissing her cheek and she was smiling. She looked a little annoyed that she was getting a portrait done other than that she seemed constant.
Hook could not help but look at the photo with anger. Why would he get together with the Swan girl after she abandoned him on the beanstalk what about his revenge. How could he forget Milah so easily.
But, another part of Hook could not help but feel hopeful, that means he found her again. That means he went past her walls and that she began to trust him.
A young teenager came towards his future self. He had brown hair and brown eyes. His smile tugged at Hook's heart. He reminded him of Bae. Even to this day he feels guilty for abandoning him to the lost boys.
The boy sat next to him and said, " I heard about what happened with my mom. We are going to find a way to fix this, she will be the Emma swan we know and love again. You just got to believe it".
" I hope so Henry, I loved your mother so much, it hurt so much to have to look in her eyes and lie to her about my feelings. I had once said that I loved every part of her. A part me wants to love the dark part as well, but I can't. She is not the same.". Killian said sadly a hint of anger and frustration in his voice.
It took all of Hook's will power not to leapt off the boat and demand answers on what happened to Emma. Judging by the tone of Killian's voice it sounded like she was under some sort of curse.
Hook could not help but smile when he saw Henry. He had only seen the boy for two seconds and already he could tell he was a extraordinary lad.
" I wish I could remember what happened during those six weeks at Camelot I miss her Henry the Emma I fell in love with is in there I just have to keep trying". Killian said
Suddenly Hook was taking by black smoke. One minute he was behind the boat and the next he is tied up in some cave a big stone with a sword in the center with a figure hidden in the background.
" How did you get here in this time Hook...".
Hook frowned when he noticed his sword and his hook were gone. He was trapped even if he wanted to escape he couldn't. The only he could do was tell her the truth. " Magical creatures of Legend called the Fates for some unknown reason they brought me to this time to my future...".
Dark Emma frowned and said, " You can't be here, its too risky its very important that when I take you back you do not speak of this alright".
Hook nodded and said, "Very well love I will not say a word".
Emma looked at him for a moment, debating with herself if it was a good idea or not, But, she could not help herself she missed him so much. Yet, here he was right in front of her, even though this was Hook and not her Killian she could not help herself, She missed him. She walked up to him and gave him a small sweet kiss before Hook could respond to the kiss he was already back in the giants castle.
Over the course of the next few weeks he had gotten hit in the head and knocked around so many times and other various places that he could not remember that fateful kiss. Much like he could not remember the barmaid that kissed him back when they went through time.
But, it did not matter He and Emma were tied to the red string of fate, no matter what universe or timeline he stumbles into he always finds his way back to her and she with him and that is something that will never ever change..
