The Song of Darkness

Moonlight

EMMA SWAN

How did my life get like this? I used to live a normal life. Sure I wasn't happy after the incident but at least my life was normal. Now I'm stuck in a strange world relying on Captain Hook of all people to help me. Captain Hook. As in Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. And now he's taking  me to his ship.

"Welcome to the-"

"-Jolly Roger." I finish for him. It's still so crazy to me that all those fairy tales are real. "Yeah I know let's get to business. Show me the gold then I'll tell you where The Dark One is." I need to speed things up. The moon will be out soon. Then I have to get back in the water. This is horrible.

He goes below the deck of the ship and comes back up with more gold. God he really does have a lot. And yet all he cares about is The Dark One. Not my business. The faster I can get out of here the better. He hands me the gold.

"Now where is the Dark One."

"He's in a town called Storybrooke where there currently is no magic."

"Storybrooke? How the bloody hell do I get there?" I may not need to find a bean and a cure.

"Do you have a way to travel through realms?"

"I know where to get a way." Perfect.

"You get a way back and I will help you get to Storybrooke and find The Dark One."

"Why do you want to go to Storybrooke?" I need to leave soon.

"My business. Meet me at the bar tomorrow and we'll talk more."

"Why can't you just stay here?"

"Because I can't. Goodnight." I quickly leave. I don't actually have to leave but I need to use this time to find a cure for the curse Regina cast on me. I fucking hate Regina. She ripped me away from my son once I was finally his mother. She sent me here and put The Siren Curse on me.

As soon as the moon comes up I have a tail and as long as I'm not in the water when the moon completely disappears the tail goes away. It's fucking awful. I just want to go home to my son.

I go to the library and keep reading to find a way to get rid of this curse. I read all night before I finally find something.

Dragons blood. The only way to get rid of The Siren Curse is dragon blood. If I drink the dragons blood on a full moon right at the moment my tail disappears then the spell will be broken and I can go home to my son.

Ok new goal. Find dragon's blood. Maybe that piarate can tell me where to find it. Luckily I didn't tell him everything about The Dark One. Like how to kill him. Once the sun comes up I go to the bar to find the pirate and he's sitting at the counter.

"Do you have a way back to Storybrooke?"

"Aye, lets go." He smirks and motions for the door.

"Not yet. I need to do one more thing before we go." He groans.

"And what is that?"

"I need to find dragons blood."

"Dragons blood? What the bloody hell do you need that for?

God he's nosy. "My business. Do you know where to find it?"

"No." But he knows who would. He's very easy to read.

"Help me find it and I'll tell you how to kill the Dark One." He looks shocked.

"You know how to kill The Dark One?" I nod. He rubs a hand over his mouth.

"I don't know where to find dragons blood but I may know someone who does. She's about a half journey away." There's one more moonless night so I should be good.

"Does she live near water?"

"No, she lives in the middle of the Enchanted Forest." I nod. Ok so as long as I'm back by the time the moon comes out two days from now I'll be good.

"Ok let's go."
