Chapter 2

Calista was alone in the pawnshop, looking through one of Mr Gold's books as she glanced at the glass jar with the rose inside. 


"I didn't take you for a book girl... Or a rose kind of girl," Emma said as she appeared in the shop.


"Dark One..." Calista looked at her, "Always a pleasure," Calista said.


Emma walked towards her, "I bet it is since you married one," Emma said.


"Yes... Yes, I did... I'm very glad you're not golden scales... But this ice type of look doesn't suit you," Calista said.


"I'm impressed... You talk like this to the Dark One," Emma said.


"Yes I do Emma because as you said, I married one," Calista said and closed the book, "What do you want?"


"Your assistance," Emma said.


"Well, I'm sorry darling, you ain't gonna get it... As there's nothing in it for me," Calista said.


"You say you're not like Gold... But you're exactly like him, always wanting a payment," Emma said.


"I help out in the shop, payments are a natural way of business," Calista said.


"You'll help me, you just won't know it until it happens," Emma said and disappeared in black smoke.


Calista rolled her eyes and exhaled sharply, the bell rang, "All good in here? You look like you're about to murder someone," Will said.


"Yeah, I'm fine... Well, I'm not because the last time I looked at the rose it was full and now it's not," Calista said looking at the rose.


"You and I both know it's not the petals that are making you angry... What is it?" Will asked.


"Same thing that's annoying everyone else," Calista said.


"The new Dark One..." Will said.


"Aye," Calista said and looked at him, "Why did you come with us? Truthfully?" 


"Well, I thought you'd need some backup, more than your daughter and friend," Will said.


"Thanks," Calista said.


Flashback: Camelot - Six Weeks Ago...


Everyone was inside Arthur's castle, "Wow," Henry and Naomi said.


"Wow is right," David said.


"I am so not dressed for this," Mary Margaret said.


"His Royal Highness, King Arthur."


Arthur walked up, "And now allow me to introduce the loveliest create in all of Camelot... My Queen, Guinevere," Arthur said and Guinevere came walking down the step and walked up to them.


"Your Majesty," Mary Margaret said as she bowed and everyone else bowed as well.


"The pleasure is ours. We have been awaiting your arrival from the moment we heard Merlin's prophecy," Guinevere said.


"Well, we hope you haven't been waiting too long," David said.


"Only a decade or so," Arthur said.


David chuckles, "Ah, sorry," David said.


"I'll wager it's been worth the wait and as a bonus, it's given us more than enough time to prepare a ball in your honour tonight," Arthur said.


"Oh, see, told you we should come. Look what we've been missing out on," Leroy said.


"I like any party I don't have to cater," Granny said.


"So do we," Leroy said.


Calista and Will glanced at each other, "No stealing the silverware," Calista whispered to him.


"I may be a thief but I have morals," Will whispered.


"Yeah, like stealing ice-cream for the ice-parlour when the powers out?" Naomi whispered.


"You know at times like this I wish I could shut you up," Will whispered.


"At times like this, I'm glad you can't," Calista whispered and chuckled.


"Your Majesty... When are we gonna start our quest to find Merlin?" Killian asked.


"Can't stand still that man..." Calista whispered.


"Wh... Find him? We don't need to find him. We know exactly where he is," Arthur said.


Arthur led them outside to a large tree and the group stood around it.


"So, the most powerful sorcerer in all the realms is stuck inside a bloody tree?" Calista asked as she stood beside Killian and the two looked at Arthur.


"I said the same exact thing the time I stood there," Arthur replied.


"And you think we can get him out?" Emma asked.


"Oh, we don't think... We know. Merlin's prophecies are never wrong," Arthur said.


"Why are you so eager to free him?" Percival asked.


"Our home is being threatened by... It's called the Dark One," David said.


"The Dark One. Yes, we're well aware of that demon," Calista and Naomi glanced at each other, "That is bad. Well, I pray Merlin can help. But, first, we must free him from his prison. It is said one of you is the Saviour. So, which of you is it?" Arthur said as he looked at each other the women.


"I..." Emma said as she stepped forward.


Regina held onto the dagger in her coat, stopping Emma, "I am the Saviour," Regina stepped forward, "I'm the one who's going to free Merlin from hat tree and then we can take care of the Dark One and all go home," Regina said.


Emma sighed as she turned to face the tree.


End of Flashback


At the pawnshop, Calista was once again alone and Killian walked in.


"True Love's Kiss, I need to know why it didn't work for you and the blasted Crocodile," Killian said and Calisa looked up at him.


"Oh, hello big brother, lovely to see you. I'm well thank you for asking, and yourself?" Calista said sarcastically.


Killian looked at her and blinked, "Aye, I've been a little out of sorts I deserved that," Killian said.


"Sorry, just wanted a laugh. Okay, so, it did work, True Love's Kiss, the first time. It awoke the man behind the Crocodile, but Rumpel got scared of a life without power and he chose power over love. He pulled away from me and in that moment, the darkness forever regained its grip on him. You know, a curse isn't a curse anymore when the afflicted wants it. That's why I say Naomi is a product of True Love because we have Rumpel and I have it, but because he chose his power she's not as powerful and special as Emma," Calista said.


"That won't be a problem with Emma," Killian said as he turned to leave.


"Killian, wait," Killian turned to her, "I know you think you handle a dark..." Calista said.


"I've battled him for centuries, you know that sister. And I'm still here," Killian said.


"But you were trying to kill him and now, well..." Calista exhaled sharply and looked at Killian, "Trust me with this brother, it's far easier to hate a Dark One than it is to love one... Why do you think I was able to banish Rumpel and get attracted to Will so quickly... All I'm saying is... Be careful, if not for yourself, then for me," Calista said.


Killian placed his hand on her cheek and brushed his thumb under her eye lightly, "Surviving is in our blood, you know that just as much as me," Calista nodded, "I'll call you later, okay?" Killian said and walked out of the shop.


At the docks with Naomi and Henry, "You've got this Henry, I'm with you," Naomi said.


Henry nodded, "Emma Swan... Emma Swan... Emma Swan," Henry said.


Emma appeared next to them, "Henry," Emma said.


"Mom?" Henry said.


"Emma..." Naomi said.


Emma reached for Henry's hand but he pulled away from her, "You don't have to be scared of me, neither of you," Emma said.


"What happened? Why are you like this now?" Henry asked.


"It's complicated," Emma said.


"I'm sorry, Mom," Henry said.


"Me too, Emma... We failed you, just like we failed my Papa," Naomi said.


"I know what I said last night, but, Henry, Naomi... You two didn't fail me, not at all. Everyone else did," Emma said.


Regina walked up with Calista, "Get away from our kids," Regina said.


"What's the matter, Regina? Are you afraid Henry will learn the truth about what happened in Camelot? Or Cali... Afraid Naomi will remember what you did?" Emma asked.


"If the truth is so important to you, why did you erase our memories?" Regina asked.


"It's a curse, Regina," Emma said.


"I know, but what we can't figure out is why," Regina said.


"If I wanted you to both to know, I wouldn't have erased your memories," Emma said.


"You know we won't stop until we get them back," Calista said.


"It's not going to happen, Calista, because I did learn what not to do from Regina," Emma looked at Regina, "And I built this curse without the one thing you need to break it... A saviour," Emma said.


"Hmm. Well, we'll find a way. We always have," Regina said.


"Yes, with me. Now, you're on your own," Emma said.


"You can do it, Mom," Henry looked at Regina, "You can be the Saviour," Henry said.


"It's not going to happen," Emma said.


"You don't think I have it in me?" Regina asked.


"I know you don't," Emma said.


"Well, you're wrong. I can protect this town," Regina said.


"We'll see about that because there's a problem headed to Storybrooke that only a Saviour can solve. It's too bad there isn't one," Emma said.


Regina took Henry as Calista took Noami and they left Emma by the docks. Calista glanced back at Emma and Emma waved bye to her with a smirk.



Later at Regina's office, King Arthur and his knights had arrived in Storybrooke as well. They told him what they knew which was mainly that they were cursed.


"A curse?" Arthur asked.


"That brought you to our realm and wiped the last six weeks from your memory," Regina said.


"Who would do that?" Arthur asked.


Calista looked at David who sighed, "We weren't completely honest with you on the way to Camelot," David said.


"Our daughter, Emma, was... Is the Dark One. She cast the curse," Mary Margaret said.


"You lied to me? You let me lead the darkest of souls into the heart of my kingdom?" Arthur said angrily.


"We thought Merlin would be able to destroy the darkness inside her," David said.


"Well, obviously that didn't work out. Where's the Dark One now?" Arthur asked.


"Emma. She's here in Storybrooke," Mary Margaret said.


"Well, then there's only one way to defeat her... The Dark One dagger," Arthur said.


"Defeat isn't exactly what we had in mind," Mary Margaret said.


"She's our daughter, and... Well, she has the dagger," David said.


Robin and Will walked in, "I'm afraid you and your knights aren't the only ones that Emma dragged here from Camelot," Everyone turned to them, "Little John said he ran into some of your subjects in the forest," Robin said.


"Are they alright?" Arthur asked.


"They're a little shaken up, but there may still be some of them out there. We're gonna round up the Merry Men and search the East Woods," Will said.


"I'll take the dwarfs. We'll start in the West. Arthur, you're with me," David said and they left the office.


Calista noticed the look on Regina's face, "What is it?" Calista asked as Mary Margaret looked over.


"These toy soldiers. I could kill them all with a wave of my hand," Regina said.


"Regina!" Mary Margaret said.


"Well, I don't mean I will. My point is this can't be what Emma warned us about," Regina said.


"She obviously brought them here for a reason," Calista said.


"She said we were going to face a problem, only a Saviour can handle. I'm telling you, something else is coming our way," Regina said.


"Why do I get the feeling I won't be with Rumpel as much as I would like to be?" Calista said.


"Sorry..." Mary Margaret said and Calista shrugged.


Flashback: Camelot - Six Weeks Ago...


Emma, Regina and Calista were in Merlin's tower.


"Merlin's tower. There must be something in here to help get him out of the tree," Regina said.


"Never do that to me again," Emma said as she turned to face Regina.


"Oh, now you're talking to me," Regina said.


"I don't know... Am I allowed to?" Emma said.


Regina sighed and took out the dagger, "You gave this to me," Regina said.


"To protect me, not use against me," Emma said.


"I saved your life," Regina said.


"By pretending to be me?" Emma asked.


"Oh, shut up and listen," Regina said.


Emma tried to speak but found out she couldn't and Calista looked up at Regina, "Regina, be careful. A simple common thing like 'shut up' is a command," Calista said.


"Oh," Regina looked at the dagger with a smirk, "I can get used to this," Regina said.


"Regina!" Calista said.


Regina turned to Emma, "Look if you told Arthur you were the Saviour, he would have asked you to free Merlin. You would have had to use magic... Dark magic," Regina said.


"There was always the possibility he could've asked you but he didn't," Calista said.


"She's right," Emma said.


"Emma, do you remember what happened last time you dabbled in that? Dark magic," Regina said.


"I lost control," Emma said.


"And you gave me this dagger so that wouldn't happen again, but I wasn't lying. I don't care what Merlin's prophecy says. I'm gonna figure out how I can get that wizard out so you won't ever have to use dark magic again. So, really, Emma, you should be thanking me," Regina said.


"...Thank you," Emma said as she forced to due to the command.


"Regina!" Calista said.


"Whatever," Regina said.


"Be careful," Calista said.


"Regina... I mean it. Thank you," Emma said.


End of Flashback


In the woods, Robin and Will were taking supplies out of David's trucks as Regina and Calista arrived.


"We covered the forest. I think we found everyone who came over," Calista nodded and she, Robin and Will looked at Regina who wasn't listening, "Regina... Regina," Robin said.


"Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry. I was just..." Regina said.


"What? What happened? What did Emma say to you two?" Robin said.


"Yeah, you're both out of it," Will said.


Calista sighed, "Apparently, when we were in Camelot... I did something and I can't figure out what," Calista said.


"And she said to me that nobody believes I can protect this town," Regina said.


"Which is a lie," Calista said.


"Cali's right. Everybody knows how far you've come," Robin said.


"Well, they may not see me as the Evil Queen anymore, but I need to prove to them I can be more. Forgiving me is one thing, but... It doesn't mean they're ready to be led by me, ready to trust me," Regina said and Robin gave Regina a hug.


"Regina..." Regina looked at Cali, "You can save the town, you've got people who believe in you, remember that," Calista said.


"Thanks..." Regina said.


"Come on, let's help out," Calista said and Regina nodded before they walked away to a table.


"We're doing coffee?" Regina asked.


"Yeah... I thought they might appreciate it more than rum which I would've stolen from Killian which I don't think I want an angry big brother hunting me down right now," Calista said as she put the glass jar with the enchanted rose on the table.


"How do you do it? Love him after everything awful he's done?" Regina asked as they started pouring people coffee.


"True me, I've asked myself the same question... I guess it's because..." Calista sighed, "...It's weird," Calista said and shook her head.


"You can tell me," Regina said.


"I just... I just can't imagine my life without him... Without being with him... Yeah, he's done awful things, I know, I'm not a hypocrite and say he did it to protect me or Naomi, because I know he didn't and he did manipulate me... But... He has protected me, he has put me first... Not a lot but he has and I guess... There's no me without him even if... Whether he's human or surrounded by darkness," Calista said.


"I guess I can understand that... Henry... He thinks I can use light magic... But dark... Just... Just feels..." Regina said.


"You?" Calista said.


"Yeah," Regina said.


"Daddy!" Roland screamed.


"Regina!" Robin yelled as Calista and Regina turned to see Robin  being picked up by a flying black creature, "Help!" Robin yelled as he was abducted by the black creature.


Regina watched in shock and fear as Robin was taken, it was almost like she was frozen in fear.




Later in the woods, Calista, Will, Arthur, Regina, Mary Margaret, David and Leroy looking for Robin and the creature that took Robin.


"This way!" David said.


"There it is!" Arthur yelled.


The Fury came flying by with Robin, Regina disappeared in a puff of purple smoke as David, Arthur, Calista, Mary Margaret, Leroy and Will chased after the creature


The creature dropped an unconscious Robin to the ground and Regina appeared near him, "You're not taking him anywhere," Regina said as she threw a fireball at the creature, it moved out of the way and threw Regina to the side, causing her to hit a tree.


Regina groaned as she got up and looked up at the creature, "So, you want to do this the hard way? Good, because I love the hard way," Regina said as she made two fireballs in her hands.



Before Regina got a chance to throw fireballs the creature smacked hard, sending her flying to the ground, Regina was bleeding from her nose as she watched the creature take Robin away.


"Regina!" Calista yelled and ran over to her.


"You okay?" Mary Margaret asked.


"I'm alive if that's what you mean," Regina said.


Mary Margaret saw that Regina was bleeding, "She needs help," Mary Margaret said.


"I'll take her to the hospital," Calista said.


"No, no, I have to go after... I have to go after that thing, Robin..." Regina said.


"You have to get checked out," Calista said.


"You don't believe I can do this. That's what this is," Regina said.


"We won't let anything happen to him, but you need to let someone look at you... Will, Leroy, go with them," Mary Margaret said.


Regina sighed, "Go," Regina said.


David and Arthur went after the creature.


Flashback: Camelot - Six Weeks Ago...


Naomi was in a room and she looked at the enchanted rose, she bent down looking at it.


"Oh, Papa..." Naomi said as she touched the glass.



Calista walked into the room and saw her, "Everything okay, sweetie?" Calista asked.


"Just think about Papa..." Naomi said.


"He will be okay, your Papa... He's annoying that way," Calista said as she walked to her and they looked at the rose.


"Do you wish we didn't come to help?" Naomi asked.


"I miss him, but I know that I'd be restless in Storybrooke... You would be too," Calista said.


"I know..." Naomi said.


"Come on, let's get ready for the ball,"  Calista said.


"Okay..." Naomi said.



Later, Calista and Naomi walked into a room to see David, Doc, Mary Margaret and Regina, they walked in as David was teaching Regina how to dance.



"Someone learning how to dance?" Calista asked as they walked around David and Regina. Calista was wearing a red dress as Naomi wore a pink one.



David and Regina chuckled, "Now when we're done everyone in Camelot will believe you're the Saviour. One, two, three. One, two, three," David said as they continued to dance.


"I like your necklace Regina," Naomi said.


"Thank you, Percival gave it to me, as a gift," Regina said.


"I'm going to help get Emma ready," Mary Margaret said and walked away.


Calista smiled and watched as David continued to teach Regina how to dance.



At the main hall, "Presenting Lady Calista, Lady Emma, Lady Naomi, and Lady Mary Margaret," The Footman said.


"I hate pretending to be a princess," Calista whispered.


"Prefer a pirate?" Emma whispered.


"I ain't the only one," Calista whispered.


"What's that meant to mean?" Emma whispered.


"My brother, he's the only one in pirate attire... I cannot imagine him dressing like... The others," Calista whispered.


"I can," Emma whispered.


"Ew," Calista whispered and walked over to Will, "What are you doing?"


"I'm your escort for this evening Lady Calista has a lovely ring to it," Will said.


"I prefer Pirate Calista but... Whatever," Calista said.


Naomi walked over, "Hi Will," Naomi said.


"Hi," Will said.


"Presenting the Saviour," The Footman said.


Everyone looked to see Regina and started to applaud as she walked down the stairs.


End of Flashback


At the pawnshop, Regina was in the backroom talking to Mr Gold who was still in a coma.


"You son of a bitch. You made me like this. You made me the Evil Queen. You're the reason no one believes in me," Regina said.



Calista walked to the walkway and leaned against the frame listening to Regina, "And I'm gonna prove you wrong. I'm gonna prove them all wrong. I just..." Regina said.


"Regina," Regina looked at Calista, "As much as I love you declaring your plan to my comatose husband... Belle's found something, so come one... And let's prove to him, we're not who he made us," Calista said and walked into the shop with Regina where Belle and Will were stood waiting for them.


Belle showed them both a picture of the creature that took Robin.



"A Fury?" Regina said.


"A demon sent from the Underworld to collect the unpaid price of magic," Belle said.


"Oh, crap," Calista said.


"Someone used magic in Camelot and didn't pay up," Regina said.


"Yeah, but, Regina, the Fury doesn't come for just any price," Regina looked at Calista, "It comes when the price for magic is a life," Calista said.


"Robin. Y-You mean that demon is here to drag him to the Underworld," Regina said.


"Yeah," Calista said.


"But, the portal only opens when the moon reaches the zenith," Belle said.


"That's there's still some time to stop it," Regina said.


"It's... It's not that simple," Calista said.


"She's right," Belle said.


"What do you mean?" Will asked.


"The only way to save Robin is by having someone else give their life in his place," Calista said.


Flashback: Camelot - Six Weeks Ago...


The ball had begun and everyone was hanging out in the courtyard. Calista, Naomi and Belle were standing by themselves with the enchanted rose under the glass and some of the petals had already fallen.


Leroy and Will walked up, "You know what I see when I see that rose? Hope," Leroy said.


"Hope? But every petal that falls brings Rumple closer to death," Calista said.


"And every petal still on the stem is another chance to save him," Will said.


"Thanks, Will," Calista said.


"Come on," Will said and offered her his hand.


"What?" Calista said.


"Dance," Will said and took her hand then they walked onto the dance floor with Leroy and Belle following them.


Will twirled Calista before pulling her closer and they joined in the dance. Killian and Emma danced over to them, "Sister, did you notice that?" Killian said looking at someone.


Calista looked at someone who was looking at something, she followed his line of view to Naomi, "Maybe it's a good idea Rumpel is in a coma..." Calista said.


"Why do you say that?" Emma said.


"He'd become a snail," Calista said.


"One second, love," Killian said and walked over to Naomi.


Naomi looked at Killian, "What is it, Uncle Killian?" Naomi asked.


Killian stood the other side of the glass, "Stop worrying about your father and enjoy yourself," Killian said.


"I...I am," Naomi said.


"Oh yeah? Then why have you been avoiding him?" Killian asked and glanced at the boy before looking at Naomi.


"I, uh, I don't want to," Naomi said.


"Why not?" Killian asked.


"I don't know how to talk to anyone who isn't related to me, one way or another," Naomi said.


"That's a lie, you talk to Will and Robin fine," Killian said.


"You know what I meant," Naomi said.


"Want me to tell you a secret about our family?" Naomi looked at him and he leaned down to her ear, "We don't shy away," Killian whispered.


"Have you met me?" Naomi asked.


"Remember in that other place? I was the coward and you were... For a better term... Dark and confident... Use the confidence and be light instead of dark," Killian said.


"I don't know..." Naomi said.


"Think about it,"  Killian said and walked back to Emma.


"What did you say to her?" Calista asked.


"That we Jones... Don't shy away," Killian said.


"Don't you?" Will asked.


"Shut up," Calista said and Emma chuckled.


"Oh, oh, look, Cali," Emma said.


They looked over to see someone walking over to Naomi, "Is that..." Calista said.


"The boy who's been watching your daughter for the past 10 minutes... Aye," Killian said.


"Hello... You came with the visitors from the other land, correct?" Naomi looked at him, "I'm Nicholas," He said.


"Naomi," Naomi said.


"Nice to meet you," Nicholas said with a smile.



"Nice to meet you too, Nic," Naomi said.


"Nicholas," Nicholas said.


"I like Nic so I'm calling you that," Naomi said with a chuckle and looked back at the enchanted rose.


"If you don't mind me asking... Why do you keep looking at the rose?" Nicholas asked.


"It's connected to my Papa... He's... He's dying," Naomi said.


"I'm sorry to hear that," Nicholas said.


"Thank you..." Naomi said.


Nicholas walked to a table and picked up two cakes before walking back, "You like chocolate?" Nicholas asked.


"Do they have doughnuts?" Naomi asked.


"I have no idea what that is," Nicholas said.


"Then this'll do," Naomi said with a smile and took the cake, "Thank you."


"You're welcome," Nicholas said.


"Yep, he would've been a snail by now," Calista said.


"Who would've been a snail?" Robin asked walking up.


"Him," Killian said and Robin looked over to Naomi and Nicholas.


"Who's that?" Robin asked.


"We don't know yet mate," Will said.


Robin looked back at Regina who was dancing with Percival who took out his sword, "Regina!" Robin yelled and everyone looked over as Robin ran over and tackled Percival to the ground. 


Robin and Percival wrestled for control of the sword and Emma raised her hand to use her to stop Percival.


Killian grabbed her wrist, "No, love! You can't use dark magic," Killian said.


David ran over and stabbed Percival with his sword, but not before Percival stabbed Robin in his side.


"Robin! Robin!" Regina ran over to him, "No! No! No! No!" Robin breathed heavily, "No," Regina said as her eyes became watery.



Later in the tower, David, Killian and Will helped Robin onto the table.


"Can you heal him?" Mary Margaret asked.


Regina attempted to use magic to heal Robin as her hands glowed purple but nothing happened and Robin gasped and whimpered.


"Why didn't it work?" Will asked.


Regina sighed and looked at the sword in Calista's hand, she waved her hand above it, "This sword was enchanted to kill me. My magic can't heal him," Regina turned to Emma, "But maybe yours can," Regina said.


"No. No, we can't let her use dark magic," Killian said.


"Regina, this was the whole point of you pretending to be the Saviour," Calista said.


"The whole point was not for Robin to die and I'm not asking you, I'm asking... I'm asking her," Regina said as she looked at Emma.


"I don't know what will happen if I use my powers again," Emma said.


"I can use that dagger to make you do this, but I'm not. I'm asking you. I've lost love before and I won't again. Please. Save him, "Regina said as her eyes were watery.


Emma nodded, "Alright, I'll try," Emma walked over to Robin but looked at an empty chair, "What are you doing here?" Emma said.


Killian looked at Emma confused, "Emma, who are you talking to?" Killian asked.


"No one," Emma said.


"This is too much for her," Killian said.


"I'm fine I can do this," Emma looked at Robin then the empty chair, "I won't take one to save somebody," Emma said.


"Emma?" Calista said.


"Fine. I'll pay it," Emma said.


Calista and Killian looked at each other then back to Emma, "It'll be different. I'm the Saviour," Emma said.


"Emma, who are you talking to? What's going on?" Regina asked.


"It's okay, I can do this," Emma said as at stood at the table and healed Robin with her magic.


Robin gasped and opened his eyes, "Robin! Robin!" Regina said as she went to him.


"Regina," Robin said.


"Thank goodness," Calista said and she and Will hugged as Emma walked out of the room, "Brother?"


"She... She said she feels tired," Killian said and looked at Calista.


"She'll be okay... She'll survive this," Calista said.


End of Flashback


Later at a moonlit lake, the Fury dropped Robin next to the lake then a hooded figure on a boat glided across the water as Regina, Naomi, Leroy, David and Mary Margaret ran up.



"There it is! Over there!" Mary Margaret said.


"What is it?" David asked.


The Fury shrieked as it waved its hand, sending them flying back then the Fury held its arms in front of itself and a purple light came between them as the Fury began sucking out Robin's soul.


"No! Stop!" Regin yelled as she ran over to the Fury.



"If you want a life, take mine!" Regina yelled and the Fury shrieked as it began to take Regina's soul.


"Regina, what are you doing?!" Mary Margaret asked.


"What I should've done in Camelot!" Regina yelled.


"You don't have to do this alone. I'm with you," Naomi said as she ran over and grabbed Regina's hand.


"So am I," Mary Margaret took Regina's hand.


"Me, too!" David said as he took Mary Margaret's hand.


"Your mother will kill me," Will said and took Naomi's hand.


"I've got you, sister!" Leroy said as he took Will's hands.


Arthur saw what they were doing, he ran over and took David's hand, the purple light between the Fury and Regina, connected to everyone else and it became too much for the Fury as it got blasted away by its own magic, it shrieked as it was destroyed.


Everyone gasped as they dropped to their knees and the hooded figure retreated backwards on the lake.


Naomi sat on her knees and panted, Will sat up and checked on her, "Are you okay, Naomi?" He asked her.


"Y-Yes, thank you," Naomi said.


Regina ran over to Robin, "Oh, my god. Are you okay? Are you okay?" Regina asked.


"It appears you found a few believers," Robin said.


Regina smiled and kissed him then looked at Naomi, "How did you know that would work?" Regina asked.


Naomi shrugged, "My Papa's the king of loopholes," Naomi stood up, "But the truth is... I had no idea it would," Naomi said and chuckled nervously.


"Regina, we weren't gonna let you go," Mary Margaret said.


"Standing up to that monster proved one thing... If anyone's gonna save this town, it's you," David said.



Later at Grannys, everyone was celebrating but Killian was sat alone at the counter.


Calista walked up to him and sat beside him, "You don't have to sit alone... You tried to kiss her?" Calista asked.


"Aye... She didn't even flinch," Killian said.


"I'm sorry brother," Calista said.


"Its not over. We spent over a century trying to find a way to kill the Bloody Crocodile. I can spend at least that long trying to save the woman I love," Killian said.


"Yeah... I'll help you... Pour me one of those," Calista said.


Killian poured two drinks and Calista took one of the tumblers, "Thank you... Cali, I've not bee the best brother, but... I mean it, thank you," Killian said.



"If we didn't fight, we wouldn't be pirates," Calista said.


"Aye, that we wouldn't," Killian clinked their tumblers together, "Who's the lad with Naomi?" Killian asked.


Calista and Killian looked over to see Naomi talking to someone, "Never seen him before... Probably from Camelot," Calista said.


"Nicholas Morgan," Nicholas said to Naomi.


"Naomi Gold," Naomi smiled at him and looked at Granny, "Granny can we have two chocolate frosted doughnuts please?"Naomi asked.


"Coming right up sweetie," Granny said.


"What's that?" Nicholas asked.


"Fried dough... Basically," Naomi said as Granny placed the doughnuts in front of them.


"Don't they have cake?" Nicholas asked.


"Yes, but you gotta try this. I don't think Camelot has this," Naomi said.


"Alright..." Nicholas said and took a bite, "It's..." 


"Sugary?" Naomi asked.


"... It's good," Nicholas said and they smiled at each other.


Calista and Killian looked at each other and smiled before they drunk their rum.


Regina walked in and approached the stone Sneezy and she used her magic to return him to flesh.



"We'll get her back right?" Killian asked.


"If we can't, who study the Dark One, who tried to kill it, who loves someone taken by the darkness... I don't think anyone can," Calista looked at him, "You and me, brother, always and forever," Calista said as she held her newly poured drink.


Killian looked at her, "You and me, sister, always and forever," Killian said as they clinked their glasses together.
