Violets | Killian Jones

4

Emma's choice to end her relationship with Walsh was the best one for the long run. Especially when it was revealed that he was a flying monkey.

Which raises some suspicions as to who their villain is.

Emma and Scarlett preps for Storybrooke, and feed lies to Henry. He's still cursed and they need to find a way to break it. They introduce Killian as Scarlett's boyfriend, then get on the road.

They drive through the town line, and an eerie feeling flows through them. Something is different. Something is wrong.

One by one, they get out of the yellow bug, leaving Henry sleeping soundly in the back seat.

"Whoa. Storybrooke seems a little..." Scarlett trails

" Abandoned ghost-towny?" Emma asks.

" Pretty much," Scarlett says.

From his coat pocket, Killian pulls out his hook and clicks it back onto its attachment.

" That's more like it, isn't it, love?" He smirks.

" How are you going to explain that to him?" Scarlett asks as she motions to the sleeping boy.

"Well, that's more Swan's concern. Perhaps it'll jog is memory", Killian says.

" Or give him nightmares", Emma says, "Last time, this curse took away everyone's memories. This time?"

" We don't know what it did", Killian says.

" Then I'll find out", She says.

" We'll find out, Emma. I know we weren't on great terms when we first met, but this past year... you've kind of grown on me. Killian, stay here and watch Henry", Scarlett says.

" Don't wake him or scare him or-- just let him sleep", Emma says as the women start to walk down Main Street.

" Aye. Where are you two going?" Killian asks.

" To talk to my parents", Emma says.

" And my mother", Scarlett says.

Scarlett walks through the town and towards the house she spent 28 years in. Everything feels sentimental. The leaves flowing through the streets. The wet ground. The smell of sea water. And the big white house on the end of the street surrounded by a black metal gate and green leaves.

Scarlett walks past the gate and into the house. The door creaks open to announce her arrival, and Regina walks towards the door, thinking it's someone who wants to bother her.

When Regina sees her daughter for the first time in a year, she freezes. She almost can't believe it. Scarlett lays her eyes upon her mother and is quick to her arms. Regina wraps her arms around her daughter and holds her close to her body.

The mother daughter reunion is silent, but filled with tears. Neither is willing to be the first to pull away, but they both must deal with a very real threat.

While Scarlett remembers Regina, Henry does not.
