The Song of Darkness

Operation Cobra

EMMA SWAN

Well he left. He went off on his own. I'm happy about this. I hated him. He was annoying. I go to my apartment and Henry's waiting there.

"Where's Hook?" He looks so disappointed.

"He's gone. Shouldn't you be at home?"

"I wanted to know how the date went."

"Not great, kid. We didn't get anywhere. David's still asking about Mary Margaret though." He half smiles.

"Well that's good."

"Yeah. It is, kid. Now go home before your mother does something to me."

"Meet me tomorrow at the Castle."

I hug him. "I will kid." And he runs off. I go inside and go right upstairs. I don't care. He left. It's good. Shit I have to act sad though because people think we're dating.

Mary Margaret comes up. "How was it? How's Killian?" What she means is how's David.

"He's not happy." I don't have the energy to dance around this.

"David's not happy, that I already knew. I really meant how's Killian Emma."

"We broke up."

She hugs me. "Emma I'm so sorry."

"I'm ok."

She lets go. "Right." And she goes back downstairs. I just shut my eyes. When I wake up I get ready and go to the Castle. Henrys not here yet. I look over at the pier and see Hooks ship. Maybe after this I'll go over and tell him where the dagger is. That was a part of the deal. Henry comes running up to me.

"Emma, we have a problem."

I jump up and go to him. "What kid, what's wrong?"

"It's Hook. He's been cursed."

"What do you mean kid?" He grabs my hand and drags me to Grannys. Hook is sitting with a lady and a kid. The lady is all over him and the little girl is just sitting there. I go over to them.

"Good morning Sheriff Swan." He smiles at me. But not his normal smile. A polite smile. I don't know why this hurts so much. He's just acting like he doesn't know me. No. He's cursed. Somehow. Regina walks in. With Cora. She must have cursed him. That fucking bitch! I storm over to them.

"Miss Swan, can we help you?" I want to punch her face.

"I know what you did. You are an awful, terrible person and I promise I will break this curse and ruin your life if it is the last thing I do."

"Curse? Miss Swan, I think you're delusional."

"Don't pull this shit with me. You know damn well what I'm talking about." She pulls Henry close to her.

"Perhaps you should go visit Dr. Hopper." She takes Henry and they sit down with Hook and the lady. I hate that bitch and her mom. I storm out of Grannies.

I need to get my parents together now. I think I need to go to Katherine though. If she wants to end it then David will go straight to Mary Margret. I look in the book. Ok so her and my dad were engaged but she loved Frederick. King Midas turned him to gold but my Dad undid that spell so he should be here. I know exactly who Frederick is too. He's Henry's gym teacher. It's clear he and Kathrine have something going on. Even cursed deep down she still knows who her true love is. Just like my parents do. He and Mary Margret are friends and we've become friends too. I go to his house and knock on the door.

"Hey Emma, come in." Katherines sitting on the couch. Perfect. She looks so much happier here.

"Katherine I say this is the nicest way possible, you and David need to get a divorce." She gets a shocked and guilty look.

"What? Why?"

"Because you both love different people." Now she looks happy and hopeful.

"He does?"

"Yeah he does, he loves Mary Margret, just like you love Jim." She hugs me and leaves. I stay and hang out with Jim for a while. Eventually I go home. Mary Margret is sitting on the couch. I grab a bottle of wine and two glasses. I plop down next to her and hand her a glass.

"Well hello. What's the occasion?" I fill the glass up.

"Rough day."

"Because of the break up?"

"That and the fact he was apparently married with a kid." I have to act like that's the truth. She's still cursed. She'll think I'm crazy.

"Oh honey I'm so sorry." She hugs me. This is nice. Kinda like she's my Mom. I know she technically is but it's never felt that way. I lean more into the hug. I start crying. I haven't cried since the incident. Everything that's happened just comes rushing back when she hugged me. All the pain and anger and sadness. She pets my head and I keep crying. I cry for what feels like hours until there's a knock on the door. I pull myself together and Mary Margret answers it.

It's David. He has a smile on his face and kisses her. I feel something happen, some sort of magic. They both pull back and look into eachothers eyes.

"Charming." She smiles.

"I told you I'd always find you."
