A/N

Here is chapter 6! It's sort of a filler/info chapter. Hope you all like it! Don't forget to review! If you do review, tell me what event that happened in the show you'd like to see in this book.

It's been a couple weeks since the curse broke. It took a while to get use to all of the memories that would pop up every time I'd pass a familiar face. It took me even longer to try and piece together how I was even cursed. And when I did find the answer I was in denial for days. But soon, that denial will be put to rest. Graham helped with that. We've gone out twice since I've gotten out of the hospital. He brings some normality into my life.

Ever since that day in the hospital, Regina would regularly visit the shop and check up on me. It felt weird, to be honest, but our friendship rekindled as though it was never broken. Nova's still trying to get use to the whole thing.

Life went back to how it was before. Except, storybrooke seemed more cheery. Nowadays, the cupcake shoppe was even welcomed by new customers. Today however, it wasn't as full as usual.

"Getting another flashback?" A voice asks beside me. Shaking me from my thoughts, I look to my side to find a concerned Nova. Realising that I had an order to attend to, I start to pack the wanted cupcakes.

"Yeah," I reply. I hand the cupcake box to the customer.

"You sure you'll be ok helping me? I can handle this if you-"

"-I'm fine, Nova. Besides, I'm getting tired of lying in bed and doing nothing." I place the change in the till and look towards Nova. I frown as I notice her small grin.

"What?"

"Nothing. I'm just glad you're finally taking responsibility of the shop." I raise an eyebrow.

"Hey, don't make me change my mind about helping you," I warn.

"Hey."

I look before me to find Jefferson, leaning against the counter with a wide smile.I pull a stern face.

"Hi!" Nova beams. Slowly, she starts to blush. I roll my eyes at her.

"Something you want?" I ask impatiently. Jefferson looks towards me. He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Er no, I just wanted to check up on you guys,"

"We're fine," I reply in disinterest. Nova nudges me. I glare at Nova whilst rubbing my arm.

"How was things with Paige? Did she remember you?" Nova asks, ignoring my look.

"Yeah, she did. It was a bit awkward at first but I'm... I'm glad I can finally hold her close." He looks behind him, revealing Paige who was eating away at a cupcake at their table.

"I'm glad things are working out for you guys," Nova replies. Jefferson looks back at her and smiles freakly. I watch as they both stare into each other's eyes. I resist the urge of rolling my eyes.

I grab my jacket from behind me. "I'll let you guys get all lovey dovey with each other. I'm gonna pop out for a while. And yes i'll be fine," I reassure Nova who is giving me her 'are you sure?' look.

Ignoring jefferson, I walk towards the door. Behind me I could hear Jefferson whisper to Nova about me being ok with them. I hear Nova try to reassure him before I walk out.

I plug a pair of earphones into my phone and press play. Placing the buds into my ears I start my walk over to Rumple's Shop. Normally this walk would take me around five minutes but looking at my phone I realize that I have an hour to spare before Rumple opens his shop. My stomach gurgles and I chuckle, "I guess Granny's it is!"

I've always liked walking through town in the morning before everyone wakes up. It makes the place feel more magical and mysterious. I gaze in the windows that I pass, noticing that none of the stores were open yet. That's weird. My phone buzzes in my hand making me jump. Unlocking my phone I read the text from Regina.

-Hey. Something's not right.

I huff, obviously. Do you know anything?

-No. And that's why I'm worried.

I'm talking to Rumple later, I'll ask if he knows anything.

-okay. Be safe. xx

I hit the power button and slide my phone back into my pocket. As I look up a dark figure turns the corner in front of me. All I was able to see were black coat tails. Wait, coat tails?

"Wait!" I run around the corner only to find an empty road. "What the?" I stand there for a moment, my heart racing. Was that who I thought it was... Could it be true... I think to myself. Shaking my head at my silly thoughts, I head back towards the diner.

"Destiny!" Henry calls as I enter the diner. I smile as he walks up to me. Since Nova had kindly told Henry about us, I let him call me by my real name.

"Hey, how you feeling now?" I ask, ruffling his hair.

"Better than before. What about you?"

"I guess I'm alright now," I reply, smiling.

"I can't believe the curse is broken. Now everyone remembers who they are," Henry exclaims, looking around at the people in the diner.

"Yeah. You know Regina didn't mean to-"

"-I know. I know she wouldn't do that. She cares for me," Henry replies. I nod in response.

"Do you wanna join us?" He suddenly asks, signalling towards Emma and snow at one of the stomach rumbles once again.

"Sorry, maybe some other time. But you take care of yourself, ok?" Henry nods before going back to his table.

After ordering my food, I seat myself down at one of the tables opposite the windows. Before I could start eating, I glance outside and freeze. Standing at a distance from the diner, I see killian staring at me through the window. He smiled crookedly towards me.

I feel my heart skip a beat. Anxiously, I get off my chair and rush outside the diner. I stop outside the door. Killian was really here... My eyes swell up with tears.

Before I could walk towards him, I see Nova walking up to me.

"I thought you'd be here." She stops before me, blocking my view of him. I struggle to look behind her.

"Is everything ok?" Nova asks. I look towards her.

"Nova, he's here. Killian's here!" I cry, smiling through my tears.

"Where?" I point behind her.

"He's..." As Nova moves out of the way, I couldn't see him anymore. He had disappeared. My heart sinks. Nova looks back at me, worried.

"Destiny?" Nova puts her hand on my arm making me jump. "Let's go back inside."

I look back through the glass doors and see that Henry, Emma, and Snow were all looking at me. "You know what? I'm good. I need to talk to Mr. Gold anyway."

Nova still looks unsure, "Are you positive that you're going to be okay?"

I wave her off, "Of course." I stuff my hands into my pockets, "Can you finish the food I ordered? I'll pay you back later."

As I walk to Rumple's shop only a couple blocks away I think about what had just happened. Was Killian really here? No that's not possible. Right after I got out of the Hospital I had Regina check her records to make sure. I must be overly stressed. "Yeah that's it."

"What's it, dearie?"

I jump and realize I was standing in the entrance of Rumple's shop. "Oh! Umm. I have some questions Rump- Mr. Gold. I keep forgetting everyone wants to be called by their fake names."

Mr. Gold walks around the counter and motions me forward, "What's the problem Kailee?"

I shake my head, "I know everyone else wants to be called by their fake name but not me. So Destiny will be fine, thanks."

He smirks, "Okay then, Destiny, what's the matter? And why are you asking me and not the cricket?"

I gaze around his shop. It always amazed me, all the things that were lost yet no one has asked for them. "How was I cursed? And how did you know about it."

Mr. Gold nods his head and passes me, flipping the open sign to closed. "A long time ago, long before you started working with me, I had bumped into someone who'd wrong later on. He didn't know who I was, and since I could tell he was on a mission I decided to follow him. He led me into a jewelry store. I transformed into an average customer before going in so that I could get closer to him without being caught. He was getting a gift for a girl. As the jeweler left to go to the back, I devised the perfect plan. I teleported to the back, knocking the jeweler out, and transformed myself to look like him. I grabbed the necklace that he had reached for, it was gorgeous. It's beauty led me to think that this girl was very special to him. So I placed a curse on it, saying that the one he gave the necklace to would soon lose it and once they found it, one touch would send them into eternal sleep." He pauses, waiting for my reaction. "Years later I had found the necklace in my castle when you were out. At the time I had thought that the curse had just sent it to me. I didn't know it was going to be yours."

"So wait... The guy who wronged you was Killian? That's impossible. He's not that kind of guy! He would never want to hurt anyone!"

Mr. Gold laughed, "Oh my dear, you haven't seen him in how many years?" He chuckles, "The boy you grew up with is a totally different now a days."

"What happened?" I whisper, almost afraid to know the answer.

"Well my dear, he's a Pirate. THE Pirate actually."

"No!" I whisper in horror.

"Yes!" He walks behind the counter, reaching for something hidden. "He had stolen my wife, turned her against me. And what did I take of his?" He brings out a large jar. "His hand. He no longer goes by Killian, by the way. He's now Captain Hook."

My hand flies to my mouth in shock. Could the cruel Captain Hook Gold talks about really be my Killian? Now knowing Gold's history, I question whether or not to tell him the second half of my problem.

"Okay. Thanks Mr. Gold." I slowly turn around and head to the door.

"Now Destiny, I've known you long enough to know when you're hiding something. Now what is it?" I freeze.

Deciding that there's no hiding things from Rumpelstiltskin I turn to face him, "I think I saw him."

"That's not possible."

"I know that! Don't you think I know that! I had Regina check her records, he's not here!" I shout hysterically. "But I saw him! Twice! He smiled at me when I was in the diner but when I got outside he wasn't there." I lie my head on the counter, trying to contain the tears.

I could feel Mr. Gold's hand hovering over my shoulder before disappearing. "Destiny, I-" I hear him sigh, "If he is here, not saying he is, but if he is, I hope you know it's not a good thing. He'd have to have access to powerful magic for him to travel to this world. And only the worst of people have that much magic."

I lift my head slowly from the counter.

"What do you mean?" Rumple walks around the counter and stands in front of me.

"I believe he may have allied with a powerful sorcerer. Possibly someone who wants to come to storybrooke. I can think of one person who would want to come here. But I've not seen them for a long time so I cannot be sure..."

I remain silent for a moment, taking in what Rumple had said. One person flashes in my mind.

"I can think of one person as well. If what you say turns out to be true, then that's definitely not good news," I reply. An uncomfortable feeling rests inside my stomach. I hope Killian isn't the man Rumple claims him to be.

I walk along the road with Nova. After leaving rumple's shop, I found Nova waiting outside. I rolled my eyes at her, knowing her intentions. But I guess I was glad to have some company after what I had just found out. I look up at the night sky. I didn't realise how long I'd been at Rumple's shop.

As we walk past the crowded diner, I look to my right and stop. Standing in the exact same spot, was Killian. For the first time since I saw him, I notice a hook that replaced his missing hand. A mixture of anger and hurt rushes through me at the sight of him. This time, I have to be sure he was here. I walk purposely towards him.

"Killian!" I yell. Ignoring Nova's cries, I run towards him. Killian doesn't flinch. Before I could even touch him, dense, purple smoke engulfs him, taking him away from me.

"No!" I cry. I stop where he was just standing. I search my surroundings, trying to catch any signs of movement.

"Why are you doing this to me!" I scream. Nova rushes to me and holds me gently by my shoulders. I wipe my silent tears with the back of my hand.

"I will find you! Whoever you are!" Unable to speak anymore, I let my tears wash over me.

Nova wraps her arms around me, "I'm so sorry, Destiny."

My sobs halt. Someone is watching me. I step away from Nova and slowly look around, finding nothing. But my mind told me otherwise.

I reach into my boot, grab the knife and fling it into a dark corner behind us. I hear a cry and watch the same purple smoke come out from the darkness. "Ah-ha!" I yell and run towards the smoke. I follow it behind the Diner, then skid to a stop. "I know you're here!" I taunt, waving my knife. Out of the shadows emerges a dark figure. It steps into the white streetlight.

"Hello, honey. It's been a while." She replies, pulling her dark red lips into a sly grin. I harden my eyes at her. Just when everything was turning back to normal...
