"You know what I just realised." Ciara asked Hook causing him to turn his attention to the girl.

"What love?" He asked back.

"Why did you shoot Belle over the town line?" Ciara questioned him as she sat on a barrel.

"Because love, she's were your father keeps his heart." Hook explained and Ciara nodded "Fair enough, but please don't hurt her again. I know my relationship with my father is thin but I care for Belle." Ciara said remembering the time Belle showed her the love she always wanted.

*The enchanted forest past*

Ciara stormed into her father castle extremely pissed off at the dark one.

"Father!" She yelled through the halls looking for him. She walked into the dining room and saw a young woman dusting the shelves.

"Who the hell are you?" Ciara asked frightening the woman as she jumped at the sound of her voice.

"Oh I'm... I'm Belle" the girl said looking at Ciara confused, "Who are you?"

"I'm the daughter of the man who owns this castle." Ciara said and mocked her confused expression, "Now where is my father?" Ciara demanded.

"He's not here, but maybe I can help you?" Belle asked causing Ciara to actually be confused.

"Why would you do that?" She asked cautiously.

"Because you need it." Belle said with a smile.

Ciara's expression softened a little and she said, "Well Belle I'm looking for my cloak, someone special gave it to me and my father stole it."

"Oh, is this it?" Belle asked as she went into the cupboard and pulled out the dark red fabric.

Ciara smiled and reached over to take her cloak from Belle, "Thank you, but what about my father, what will he do to you." Ciara asked.

"Don't worry about me..." Ciara realised she never told her,her name and said "Ciara" "Ciara, the cloak clearly means a lot to you, I can handle your father" Belle continued and without thinking Ciara wrapped around her arms around Belle not used to the kindness she was showing her.

"Thank you." Ciara whispered as she pulled away, "Now I know your here I have a reason to visit more." Ciara continued smiling at the girl.

"You're welcome Ciara, I hope to see you soon." Belle replied thinking how someone born to be dark can be so kind, Ciara truly was remarkable.

"Sooner than you might think." Ciara said before disappearing from the castle.

*Storybrooke present.*

"Aye love, I'll just go after him this time." Hook stated breaking Ciara away from her thoughts she rolled her eyes at him playfully."If he kills you I'll bring you back to life just to kill you again myself. "she teasingly threatened the pirate. "And just be careful," she added and he pulled her into kiss.

"Aren't I always love?" Hook said causing the girl to smile and laugh.

"Now go, before I change my mind." Ciara said and kissed him once more before making her way off the Jolly Roger.

Hook waved to the girl as he set sail to New York to kill the dark one for him and Ciara. She watched his boast disappear into the horizon and turned around, "Now time to see my mother." Ciara said to herself and used her magic to locate her mother.

She appeared outside her mothers vault and descended down the staircase to confront her. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw her mother looking through her spell books.

"Hi mom." Ciara spoke up breaking the silence in the room and drawing her mothers attention.

Regina froze at her daughters voice and slowly turned to face her, a small smile breaking the steel expression of her face, "Ciara." She said happily.

"Don't get too excited mother, we need to talk." Ciara stated and Regina nodded sadly and gestured for her to take a seat. "Why did you take him from me?" Ciara questioned her.

"The truth is CeCe I was jealous." Regina replied and Ciara looked at her mother confused. "I lost the man who I thought to be my true love, and seeing you have yours I became jealous. But I was blinded by anger to see that my daughter being happy was what was most important. I am so sorry Ciara I really am."

Ciara sat silent as she processed her mothers confession she could see that her mother deeply regretted what she did.

"It will take time for me to forgive you." Ciara said and Regina nodded, "of course, take all the time you need, but I do love you Ciara." Regina said as a tear slipped down her cheek.

Ciara embraced her mother in a hug not saying anything back.

"Well isn't this lovely." the two pulled away from each other and spun around to see Cora standing in the vault. "Hello my dear granddaughter."

"Cora." Ciara said harshly, "What do you want?" Ciara asked as she folded her arms over her chest.

"I just want my daughter and grandchildren in my life." Cora replied innocently and Ciara laughed at her comment.

"Not a chance." She replied looking at her mother to back her up but when Regina stayed silent Ciara scoffed. "After you watched her kill Daniel you're really considering forgiving her?"

"Correct me if I'm wrong child but Regina took your love away from you right?" Cora asked smugly and Ciara glared at the woman.

"Atleast she didn't rip his heart out and crush it, Killian is alive and we are together again so I think you won the worst mother competition. " Ciara replied sarcastically, resulting in Cora attempting to choke her with magic.

Ciara pretended to struggle for air, but couldn't help but laugh. "You really think that works on me, the daughter of the evil queen and the dark one, I'm more powerful than you." Ciara said and used her magic to blast Cora into a wall knocking her unconscious.

"When you've come to your senses come find me." Ciara said to her mother before disappearing in smoke.
