We make our way to the docks as quickly as possible. Emma called us and told us that they were sailing Hook's ship back to Storybrooke. I asked her if Hook was with her. She said he wasn't. I don't know why I even wish he were around before my death. He only ends up making things worse.
When we get to the docks, we see Emma, Gold's son Neal, and Henry, all helping Gold walk. I jump out of David's truck, my boots hitting the concrete with a thud as I jog over to them.
"You guys okay?" I call out as I take one of Gold's arms. I bring him over to the tailgate of David's truck. David and Snow reunite with Emma and Henry. I feel like I've taken a punch to the gut at the sight.
"Yeah, we're alright," Emma says as Snow pulls her into her embrace.
"Thank you," Gold says, clutching the bloody spot on his chest.
I lift the bandage just enough to see the wound. There's a strange yellowing around the edge where Hook sunk his... hook into. He definitely used poison by how much the wound has festered over such a short amount of time.
"How's Belle?" He asks.
"Lacey. She's doing well, all things considered." I mutter before placing the bandage back where it was.
"Is Cora trying to control you with the dagger?" David asks from beside me.
"Oh, you'd know if she was because most of you would be dead by now." He gives me a pointed look. "Especially you."
I can't fight back my grin. Gold furrows his brows as though he's studying me. Cora gave me the same look in the clock tower.
"Well, then, we'll just have to take the fight to her and this time... we finish it." Snow chimes in.
David and I shoot her surprised looks.
"Snow," David warns, grabbing her by her shoulders.
"David, she needs to be stopped. She needs to be killed." She says, voice tight. I can see it in her face, the fear of her losing her family. I understand where she's coming from after learning Cora had murdered her mother.
"I have zero problems with Cora dying, but not by your hand and not out of vengeance." He pleads with her.
"He's right, you don't need to kill her," I say while putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
She looks over her shoulder at me incredulously.
"Since when did you start taking his side? I thought you, of all people, would understand-"
"You don't need to kill her because I will." I interrupt.
