The Captain's Daughter

Dark Curse 2.0's Origin

I woke up to Emma moving around. I sat up and frowned she glanced over at Henry before walking over. Hay, we have a meeting down in the parlor at Granny's. I nodded and she snuck out. I got up and got changed and left, I grabbed my sword from behind the potted plant and put it back on. I went downstairs and into the Parlor at Granny's. Ok that's one Jones down. I looked at David and nodded once. Where's the other Jones? Maybe he took a long walk, off a short peer. I muttered and they frowned. I don't know. I said crossing my arms. He'll hopefully be here before Regina. I said as I kept myself placid. I looked up as Regina came in giggling and smiling. I frowned somewhat looking over at the others. Regina, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you look smitten. Snow said and I nodded some in agreement. Regina scoffed slightly. Well, if I didn't know any better I'd say Haagen-Dazs is smitten with your stomach. I gave a very soft chuckle almost. Can we get started? We were waiting for Hook. Emma said as I checked my watch. He was late. I don't have time to wait for the handless wonder. We have to figure out how to destroy my sister. Regina said and I nodded some. For once, I agree with Regina. Stopping her plan is the priority. Yeah, I agree with David. I said and Emma gave a very subtle sigh. Well, more light her shoulders did the sigh motion, but nothing else actually signified she had sighed. There's one thing about this plan that doesn't fit. Regina. I looked at Emma glaring. I'm the point of it. So she can take my life for herself. Yes. But why bring you back to Storybrooke? Why bring any of us? I frowned some as I thought about it. Honestly this was the first time I had stopped to think about that. Why not just do what she had to do, like in the Enchanted Forrest? Well, no one's ever succeeded at traveling through time. Perhaps something from this world makes it possible? I shook my head. No, if anything this world makes Magic a little less potent, less predictable. I said and Regina sorta raised an eyebrow and then let it drop. Maybe that's the part that would make it possible? I asked and Regina took a breath. But what's almost as troubling is that she was able to cast the curse to bring us all here in the first place. She said as David got up. Why's that? Emma asked and I frowned some at her. I forgot Emma wouldn't actually know since she wasn't raised in our world.

To do it you have to give up the thing you love most. From what I gather, Zelena doesn't love much. Neither did you. You managed. I looked at Emma and shook my head. Not cool. I muttered as Regina seemed upset. Zelena's smart. Strategic. Perhaps we discovered something in the missing year to stop her. And then the only way to stop us from interfering was to bring us back here, and wipe our memories. Snow said and I frowned some. So if we get our memories back, we might already know how to defeat her. We just need to break this curse. Well thank goodness we have a savior. I frowned some looking at Regina. I feel like we're missing something. I said looking at Emma. I would love to, but there's one problem. Last time all it took was me believing in magic and kissing Henry. Since I've been back, I've done both and nothing. There it is. I said biting my lip some, slightly wishing Henry wasn't dull and boring anymore, cause he'd know exactly what to do. He'd even give it a code name. This Henry never even did code names unless we didn't want Emma knowing something cause we'd get in trouble. Regina gasped slightly. It's the belief. I frowned some. Come again? Henry. He needs to believe. In this new life, he doesn't. We have to get him to believe again. Regina said. So, what, we put on a magic show? How did you believe? The book, the Story Book. I frowned some, I had almost forgotten about Henry's story book. That's what started Henry on his original path. And what got you to believe. It's the key! In him believing. In him remembering. Remembering everything. I swallowed hard. Neverland. That's not necessarily a gift. He's been through a lot of tough stuff. Emma said. And some good stuff. I mean yeah, but so have all of us. I said Regina looked at me and then looked over at Snow. Either way, it's our best bet. She's right. I know. Let's find it. I frowned some at Emma, the idea popped up that she maybe hadn't told them she was planning on going back to New York. I shook my head. Good luck with getting him to believe. They frowned some. In this new life he's boring, and doesn't do magic unless it gets him a gift. I said and I shook my head. Night and day to how he typically is. Well, we managed to get you back, so we can get Henry back. Snow said and I smirked. Wait hang on, Hayes how did you wake up? Regina asked and I shrugged. I was upset with Emma, and I was going to run away, but- I stopped my stomach twisting. But? Hook. I said shaking my head. He uh- he found me and- Regina nodded. He broke it off of you, because he loves you. Truly. Yeah spend a day in my shoes and then tell me how much he truly does love me, are we finding this book or what? David called Belle to find out if maybe the store had it. And now we wait.
