The darkness escaped the sorcerer's hat and has found a new host, Elaine Swan. She is the new Dark One, can her family, friends and love bring her back into the light or will they lose her to the darkness forever? Killian promises Elaine that he wil...
Elaine was being lowered closer to the pool of the River of Lost Souls when Killian, Neal, Esme, Emily, Eleanor and Killian ran in, "Elaine!" Killian shouted as he saw her being lowered some more.
"Oh my God," Eleanor said.
"Don't just stand here Killian. Go!" Esme said.
"Wait here," Killian said as he saw the narrow beam leading to the platform.
"Hurry," Katy said.
"Killian, this is your curse. You aren't a prince or a navy captain, you are a flipping pirate who loves, now be both and be brave and get your damn love, and be on the way to break the curse," Emily said.
Killian stepped on the beam, "Hang on! I'm coming, Elaine," Killian said.

Esme, Emily, Eleanor, Neal, Katy and Emma watched as Killian always along the narrow beam, Killian breathed heavily and steady as he crossed. Killian almost stumbled and fell, Esme, Emily and Eleanor turned around covering their eyes as Killian regained his balance.
Killian got onto the platform, just as Elaine was about fall into the water, he reached out for her and pulled her to safety, helping her to sit up, "I got you!" Killian looked at her bloodied and bruised face, "Oh, Elaine..." Killian said.
Elaine looked at him, "Took you long enough," Elaine said weakly.
"Sorry for the delay, love, I'm here now," Killian said tearfully.
Elaine gave him a small smile, "You're impossible," Elaine said.
"Pretty sure that's you," Killian said.
"Idiot," Elaine said.
Killian chuckled softly before hugging her, "You okay?" Killian said.

"I am now, I love you," Elaine said.
"And I love you," Killian said.
Back at the boat, Mr Gold and Milah were waiting for the others to return with Elaine "So... You're married now. That's real," Milah said.
"Look, about your, uh, unfinished business..." Mr Gold said.
"As I said it's not Killian and definitely not you," Milah said.
