"I've never talked to you about your father." My mom said, her eyes avoiding mine. She inhaled sharply.

"He was a handsome man, everything I could ever wish for. Tall, dark hair, loving eyes and the highest cheekbones. But once he found out I was pregnant with you, well he left us. And then he had his own child." My mom explained, gripping my hand.

"Who is my dad?" I mumbled. Her eyes widened. She whispered something incoherently.

"Huh?" She looked back up and into my eyes.

"Your father is Hook." I stood up and banged the table.

"Not that bastard." I screamed, my eyes flashing red. My mom had a worried look on her face.

"Carlos get out of here!" She yelled and Carlos made a sprint towards the door.

I screamed in pain as if my body was on fire. I heard the door slam and my head whipped up, eyes a blood red and a snarl leaving my lips.

"Jack baby don't do it!" My mom sobbed, trying to hold me back but I ripped myself from her grip and sprinted out the door.

*Carlos' POV*

My feet hit the floor with loud thuds as I ran out the castle. I don't want to know what's happened to Jack but I hope it doesn't hurt her, especially since I haven't told her how I feel.

I ran until I hit the edge of the forest, there was no where to go, I heard dark chuckling from behind me and I slowly turned around.

"You think you can run from me?" Jack questioned. My eyes widened with fear as she started to step forward, mine stumbling backwards. I kept walking until I hit the trunk of a tree.

"There's no where to run." My eyes fluttered to a shut. Was this how it was going to end?

"Your better than this." I murmured. I saw her red eyes flash back to their normal blue.

"Don't tell me what I am." She hissed but I could see her having a mental fight with herself. I slowly stepped closer, holding out my hand. She snarled and stepped back from my touch.

"Jack it's me Carlos." I whispered as she backed me up once again against the tree. Her eyes flickered again and my heart thumped loudly in my chest.

She screamed, collapsing to her knees. Her hands were pressed against her ears. The Red Queen came running out signalling for me to start running. So that's what I did.

After running for a little bit I stopped to catch my breath.

"Carlos?" A voice yelled and I looked up to see Wyatt and Felicity jogging over to me.

"What happened?" Felicity asked, rubbing circles onto my back and sending worried looks to Wyatt.

"It's Jack, her eyes are all red." Both their eyes widened. Wyatt began digging away at the soil next to us.

"We have to get out of here now!" Felicity said, dragging me up from my crouched position.

"But what about Jack?" I asked before they pushed me and I fell through the circle.

*Jack's POV*

It didn't even feel real, it was like something had taken control of my body. I couldn't help myself. I saw Carlos cower in fear in front of me but I couldn't help it.

He reached out his hand, I was forcing myself to reach out but it suddenly snapped back and I hissed at him. What the hell was wrong with me?  He started running away from me and I felt arms lock around my waist from where my mom was holding me in place. I screamed angrily.

"Let me go!"

"Don't let me go!" I thought to myself.

My body dropped to the floor with a loud crash and I felt myself slip into darkness...
