Emma begins struggling to hide her panic, not knowing how to help Killian. It's bad enough he's in pain but it's killing her seeing him like this when she's helpless to stop it. She keeps trying to heal him with her powers but nothing is working, her heart breaking as his temperature increases, his eyes glazing over.
Killian looks at Emma painfully as his breaths stagger, tears welling up in his eyes. "E-Emma..." He whimpers out, his voice so weak and husky.
Emma feels her heart break even more as she strokes his cheek, wiping his tears away with her thumb. "I'm so sorry, please hang in their Killian...they're coming soon...I promise!" She cries, her tears now threatening to flow freely down her cheeks.
Hope watches from a distance, hating the feeling uselessness sinking into her as more time passes. She's too scared to go near her dad, now knowing the consequences of doing so.
'Please hurry' She prays to herself, hoping the rest of her family would arrive soon so her dad can be saved from this torment. Hope whimpers and holds herself, hating the sight of her father in his current state.
His eyelids begin feeling heavier than before but he tries to keep them open, for his girls. But it's not enough, continuing to struggle as the pain pounds in his heart.
Emma begins to panic even more at the sight of his strength faltering. "No...please don't leave me!" She screams, her voice breaking. "Please! I-I can't do this again, this is just our happy beginning not our ending!" She cries louder, trying to keep him awake. "Please keep your eyes open! Survive Killian!! Please!"
Hope's eyes widen when she sees David, Snow, Regina, Henry and Neal pull into the driveway. She rushes out to meet them, not having the time to wait. "Please help!" She cries grabbing her grandfather's hand and running into the house.
Emma doesn't even hear it when the door opens, looking over to see Hope pulling her parents and brother over as she begs them to help.
David pales and rushes over, kneeling down next to his daughter who's cradling her husband. "Hook?!? Emma what's going on?!?"
Emma looks at her father with tears in his eyes, choking on her words as tremors move through her body. "I-I don't know what's going on! I-I don't know how to stop his pain!" She nearly sobs, feeling Killian's strength waning as he lays in her arms.
Regina looks at her friends, thinking of what she can do but then calling out. "I might!" She rushes out to her car, grabbing her mini chest and rushing back inside. She sets it down on the table, digging through the contents to find what she needs.
Snow rushes over to help Regina search, also pulling out potions and ingredients for potion making. "What are we looking for?"She asks in a panic.
Regina scans her chest with wild eyes, desperate to find what she needs. "A potion that will relieve Hook's pain, but only temporarily."
Her eyes widen when she finds the potion, rushing over to Emma and kneeling down at her side. "This should help him for now!"
Emma grasps the vial in her hand gently, popping the cork off as quickly as possible. "God this better work." She whispers to herself. "Killian please drink this." She coaxes, gently holding it to his lips and prompting him to take a sip.
Killian allows his lips to part, the potion dribbling down his throat as he tries not to gag. He sighs in relief after a moment, the magic spreading through him and keeping the curse at bay for now.
David looks at his son-in-law concerned, never having seen Killian in so much pain. "Are you alright mate?"
The weakened former pirate takes a deep breath, nodding as much as he can without wearing himself out. "A-aye...I-I think so..."
Emma takes a sigh of relief, tears of relief rushing down her cheeks. "Thank god!" She cries, rubbing Killian's back and gently pressing kisses into his forehead.
Regina stands up once she's sure he's got support, tilting her head a bit to the side. "What on earth happened to you pirate?" She ponders, concern lacing her tone.
Killian whimpers weakly, then managing a shaky sigh. "Th-the dark one happened." He looks at his lap as his shoulders shake.
Emma holds him closer, guilt filling her to the brim. "I'm sorry Killian...I-I should have never left you alone..." She says gently, more tears welling up in her eyes.
Killian shakes his head softly, trying to ease her worries. "'s alright love...i-it's-s not your fault." He takes a deep breath, the process of taking in air becoming less of a challenge.
Regina begins packing her chest back up with Snow's help, huffing at the mention of the demon. "Of course. Mr. Gold can never leave you be can he?!" She grumbles, rolling her eyes at the reminder the demons ability to hold a grudge even after years and years, especially after countless apologies!
Emma kisses Killian's head again, thankful he was still with her, breathing and no longer in pain. "Thank you Regina...really...thank you." Emma replies, looking up at Regina
"Anytime Swan, we will find out how to deal with Rumple and heal Killian. You know we won't give up." Regina responds with a soft smile.
Snow nods her head, her motherly instincts kicking in when she sees the look on Killian's face, the same look Neal had as a baby when he was completely worn out. "Yes we will, but until then, Killian needs to get some rest." She coaxes gently, the poor thing nearly passing out into the arms of his wife.
Emma nods softly at her mother's statement. "Yes, he really does..." She whispers softly, carefully helping Killian to his feet so she can walk him to bed. "It's ok baby...I've got you..."
