Ghosts of the past

HOOKed

A/N : Can you guess who this chapter is mainly on? Clue is in the title. HOOK. Basically, all these chapters have been from Raven's, Emma's or Regina's P.O.V. Plus, lately, Hook hasn't been showing up. So...I wonder. If he isn't with Snow and Henry, or hasn't seen Emma, Regina or Raven. Then where is he? Or when?

Recently in Ghosts of the Past: Emma and Regina fell for a trick and ended up falling through a portal that takes them to a land that has never been spoken of. A bit of Raven's past is revealed and Rumple is mentioned. Snow and Henry are with the Raven in Storybrooke. But where is everyone else?

Blue. That's the first thing that my eyes register. Cold is the first thing my body feels. Sea is what I taste. Then I realize; it's obvious, I am drowning. One person, one name comes to mind. Emma. Then something else comes to mind. Swan. Emma Swan. Who is she really?

Flashback -

"What, we're we together or something?" I joke and when Emma looks down, nervously, anxiousness runs through me. "Sort of, yeah." Then I feel like I can't breathe. It explains everything. The look that she had in the hospital when Milah kissed me, the shock when I called her name, her anxiousness towards me and Milah's harshness to her and me when I recognized her for a second.

I feel something, a small memory, I don't know what if is but...it's there. 

Then the image is clearer and clearer and clearer. I'm tied to a tree with Emma pointing a knife at my neck; ah yes, moments after we first met. But then the image goes static and it's Milah and me talking by a tree, the knife nowhere in the picture. Then it goes static again and I hear what is unmistakeably Emma's voice. "You wanna go home and see what's on Netflix?" She asks, humour in her voice and I can feel the smirk I had on my face at that moment. "I don't even know what that is but sure,"

How did I get here? Why am I still alive when I'm drowning? The Jolly Roger is still in the same position it was when I was pushed here. Shouldn't it be a bit farther away by now? "Killian," The first time she said my name..."Killian." Then it's Milah's and I'm stuck between two; I remember everything about Milah but Emma?

My mind is slightly blank on her right now. I feel like I trust her and I feel something when I'm around her but...I can't be in love or even feel anything for someone who's name I barely remember. "Why won't you remember?" It's like she's in my mind now, it's like I'm talking to Emma right now. There's confusion in her voice. Oh. Milah kissed me; I remembered but then I didn't remember Emma. So, if I had kissed Emma or rather, had she kissed me; I wouldn't remember Milah?

Bloody hell. This was confusing. But, Emma did kiss me later on and it did nothing. Does that mean that even if something had happened, it wasn't love? Or maybe it was a spell but Milah didn't use magic. Something far, far from the usual me seemed to think that she did. 'Mate, she's the wife of the Dark One. Did you ever trust her anyway?' What? No. I loved her. I used to, no...I don't know.

"Killian." Milah's calling me. Oh! I turn to see her, a confused expression on her face. "What are you thinking so much about? You looked like you were somewhere else," She jokes. 'Wish I was with Emma, though'. What? "Oh. I was just thinking of someone..." I trail off; shouldn't have said that. Her expression changes from confused to even more confused to upset to angry to even angrier. "That swan girl, right?" She shrieks, putting her hands on her hips. Ah, just like the old times. "Oh..I-it-you see..." I mutter, not finding the right words. "Yeah. I see. I'm not blind, Killian."

The way she says my name; it's obvious that she's not happy. Oh no. Behind her, there's a cloud of purple smoke and that can only mean one thing. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? If it isn't the happy, adventurous couple." Jeez. It seems everyone's caught up in old business today, huh? Milah sighs, too tired to have this conversation again. "What happened to your 'twoo wove?'" Milah lets a frustrated sigh, "None of you made me happy, after all! You," She said, pointing to Rumple, "were such a coward! You practically never even went outside! And you," She carried on, pointing to me, "Like you were any better. I go for a while and when I come back, you've fallen in love with someone else!"

My eyes nearly pop out of my head. "Go? A while? Milah, you died three thousand years ago!"  Oh dear. She doesn't look happy with my comment. She approaches me and without warning, lifts her hand. Next thing I know; I'm here.

But where is here? I feel hands around me and then I feel air through my lungs. I turn to look at my saviour then spot a tail. My eyes widen. Ariel.
