Camelot
- Five Weeks Ago -

With the exception of the, Locksley brothers, everyone was stood in, Emma and Hook's bedroom, each of them staring down at the blonde as she lied on the end ottoman.

"What happened to her?" Brooklyn asked, her head tilting as she turned to look at, Hook.

"I have no idea. She hasn't said a word."

"Well, how long has she been like that?" She asked, again, Hook only letting out a heavy breath.

"I don't know." He grumbled.

"What do you mean, you don't know? You've been with her this whole time, h-"

"I've been more concerned on why she's like this, not on how long!" He snapped, Brooklyn glaring at the man.

There was a small silence between them all, everyone's eyes set on the blonde in sympathy. "It's getting worse, isn't it?" They all turned to see, David now with them. Brooklyn sighed, quietly, not bothering to greet the man.

"David, where have you been?" Mary Margaret walked over to her husband, her voice echoing in a loud whisper. "I was looking all over the castle for you."

"With, Arthur. It turns out, he might have a way to help, Emma."

"We can't."

"If we give him the dagger-"

"David, listen to me. We can't trust, Arthur."

"What are you talking about? Who told you that?" He asked, his eyes narrowed. Brooklyn stayed still as she kept her eyes on her sister, still listening in on the twos conversation.

"Lancelot."

"Lancelot? Lancelot is dead."

Mary Margaret nodded, her voice rushed. "Mhm, that's what he wanted, Cora to think, but he outwitted her."

Having enough, Regina walked up to the couple, making sure to keep her voice low. "Hey, not in front of the patient. In the state that she's in, anything could set her off." They all looked back to the blonde, Brooklyn's arms crossing.

"She needs rest." She explained, looking more at, Hook, knowing he was the best to be with her, right now. "Somewhere quiet and away from prying eyes."

"I know the perfect place." Henry spoke, earning a thankful look from his aunt.

"Perhaps me and the boy should take her there." Hook muttered, holding his girlfriend's hand, gently. "Come on, love. Let's sail away."

With the help of the man, Emma sat up straighter, holding onto him as they and Henry began their way out of the room.

Regina closed the door behind them all once they had left, looking back at the three. "Whatever happened to her, I think she was here for the dagger."

"You should probably move it somewhere safer. Especially with her seeing..whichever, Rumplestilskin she's seeing." Brooklyn stated, the older woman nodding as she walked across the room.
