At Granny's Emma was sat by the window with mug of hot coca. She took a sip but spat it straight back out, examining the liquid she saw it had been replaced with vinegar.

Emma looked up to see Ciara now sat in front of her, "Not enjoying your drink Swan?" Ciara asked sarcastically smirking at the blonde.

"Ciara always a pleasure," Emma sighed, "What do you want."

"Where's Killian?" Ciara said but Emma didn't respond so Ciara glared at her and used her magic to slightly choke her, "I won't ask again Swan."

"He's alive, he tried to kill Mr. Gold so I locked him in a closet and left him there." Emma said through strangled breaths. At her answer Ciara released Emma from her hold and stood from her seat.

"Now that wasn't so hard was it." Ciara responded and walked out of the diner.

As she walked away from the diner she saw her brother with a man she's never seen before, "Hey Hen, who's the old guy?"

"Hey Ciara, this is my dad, Neal. Dad this is my sister Ciara." Henry told her as he introduced them. Ciara's eyes widened and looked at Neal.

"You're Henry's father?" Ciara questioned and her gaze hardened at the man.

"Yeah" Neal said slightly intimidated by the girl.

"Henry, Emma's inside you go in while I have a little chat with Neal." Ciara said as she looked at her brother who nodded and made his way inside the diner.

Once they were left alone she turned to Neal and smiled innocently and said, "You better not just come into his life and hurt him, I don't know what you know about this place but if you hurt him I will tear you to shreds slowly and painfully."

Neal gulped and nervously laughed at the girl. "I know all about magic being in this town if that's what you mean." He replied tyring to sound normal after the girls threat.

"How do you know about that?" she asked

"I'm originally from the enchanted forest." Neal said and Ciara laughed.

"Oh really, who were you then?" She asked folding her arms.

"Baelfire" Neal responded and Ciara's eyes widened, "are you okay?" Neal asked her he saw Ciara's face grow pale.

"If you'll excuse me I have to go speak to our father" Ciara said quickly and rushed away from him. Neal nodded before realising what the girl had said and turned to follow her.

"Wait what?" Neal yelled after her but Ciara did not slow down as she reached the pawn shop.

She stormed in the backroom to see her father laying on a bed with a yellow substance oozing out of his chest.

"I see Killian found you." she said causing her father to look up at her.

"Ciara, what a lovely surprise." Gold said through a pained breath and Ciara sarcastically waved at him.

"Hello papa." She replied and walked closer to him. The two were interrupted when Neal entered the room.

"Hello bae." Gold said as he coughed violently due to the poison.

"What the hell is going on?" Neal asked annoyed.

"I see you've met your dear sister." Gold said gesturing to the brunette who smiled sweetly at her brother and waved.

"So you abandoned me but raised a daughter." Neal said hurt my his father once again.

"Oh Bae it's not like that, Ciara wasn't born she was created from mine and Regina's DNA but she is not my daughter." Gold reasoned with his son not hearing the stupidity in what he's saying.

"Awwww love you too Papa, I hope you enjoy hell." Ciara said mockingly at her father who coughed in more pain. She shielded the hurt she felt from his words and looked at her brother, "So sorry brother" She said before using her magic to make him disappear from the shop.

She approached her father smirking as she leaned down and pushed against his wound causing him to scream in pain. Ciara laughed at his pain and stepped away from him.

"Well well well, look who got his son back right before he's about to die"

Rumple glared at his daughter who stood at the foot of the bed. He was about to respond when Cora appeared in the room. Ciara conjured a fire ball in defense but didn't release it just yet.

"A vision told me about you. Told me this day would come. But it didnt tell me everything. Didnt tell me what I really wanted to know." Gold said to Cora as she sits next to him on the bed

"And whats that?" Cora asked him.

"Did you ever love me?" Gold asked as Ciara faked gagged as she realised how fucked this family tree is she watched as Cora strokes the side of his face making her feel sick.

"Why do you think I had to rip my own heart out? You were my weakness. You are the only man I ever truly loved." Cora replied as she looked at Rumple.

"Cora stands up and raises the dagger above Mr. Gold. Before she has a chance to stab him, Regina appears and shoves Coras heart back into her chest. Cora drops the dagger on the floor and no one notices that Mr. Gold seems to instantly recover. Cora staggers backwards and looks up to see Regina. Coras demeanor completely changes and she smiles. Hopeful, Regina smiles back.

"Mother" Spoke softly a tear forming in her eye.

Cora continues with her strange behaviour and begins to laugh. Confused, Mr. Gold checks the wound on his chest and discovers that it has completely healed over. Cora pauses and looks down, where she finds a hole has developed in her chest. Ciara leans forward and catches her as she collapses to the ground and she holds Cora in her arms. Regina knelt by her mothers side holding her hand over Cora's wound.

"Mother? Mother? Whats wrong?" Regina asked panicking and Ciara couldn't help but feel sorry for her mom.

"This Wouldve been enough. You...You wouldve been enough." Cora said sadly as she smiled softly at her daughter. Cora's beathing stops and her eyes flutter shut.

"Mother? Whats going on? Mother? Dont leave me, please What am I going to do?" Regina yelled as she began to cry and Ciara lowered her grandmothers body to the ground so she could comfort her mom.

"Your mother did you no favours." Gold said and Ciara shot him a cold look suggesting he shuts up.

"Shut up! You stole her life! You cast some spell." Ciara yelled.

"I did nothing." Gold told his daughter who was about to reply when a frantic Mary Margaret rushes into the room with David trailing behind her.

"Regina! Stop!" Mary Margaret yells.

Regina looked up at Snow who looked at Cora with a guilty expression. Regina glared at her stepdaughter before saying, "You did this."
