Days of Darkness

Chapter 1 The Dark One

Mary Margaret's POV

When I wake up all I can think about is wondering if Neal is ok, but then it hits me when Sneezy tells me that we had been gone for six weeks and I know we are all thinking the same thing. We had our memorizes stolen again and when David says it out loud Hook looks around and then he says, "Where's Emma?"

As soon as he says it I hear her voice but something isn't right. I whip my head around and I am shocked at what I see.

She just says, "Relax, I'm right here."

I am so shocked at what I see that I almost don't hear Henry say, "Mom, what happened to you?"

She just looks over with the same face she had shown us the whole time. It was blank and almost emotionless. Then she starts walking towards me and in a voice that isn't her own she says, "Isn't it obvious you went to Camelot to get the darkness out of me..."

She stops right in front of me gives me thing cold blank stare and as she touches my face she says, "And you failed."

I couldn't help but cringe a little her hand was cold as ice and she looked at me like she wanted me dead. I couldn't even manage to get any words out. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse I hear a sneeze come from behind her.

Emma just looks at him and asks, "What are you supposed to be."

Next thing I know Sneezy in stone frozen there.

"There is no Savior in this town anymore."

I am trying so hard not to cry or say something I will regret.

Regina finally decides to end it she walks over to Emma and says, "Emma that's enough."

"Or what," she replied and she sounded so confident.

"Or I will do exactly what you asked me to do." She starts patting her waist and I know exactly what she is looking for.

"Looking for this." Emma is then in one swift move holing the Dagger an inch from Regina's face. "Nobody is going to touch this Dagger but me." She walks right past Regina and just continues "Now for what you all did to me... your going to be punished."

Hook finally asks what I was wondering myself but couldn't get out, "Emma, why are you doing this?"

She just replies face the same as before calm and blank, "Because, I am the Dark One." And with that she is gone in a cloud of blackish gray smoke.

We all stand their look around in silence when I feel a tug on my shoulder it is David.

"Come on lets go home we will find her tomorrow," he says trying to be calm but I can she he is just as worried as me. Instead of arguing I just nod and we walk out into the cold fall night.
