The Dark Hearted: Book 2 of The Six Saviors Of Storybrooke (CANCELED)

Hooked

When Mulan and the Saviors arrive at the camp, the sun is up and bright. In the distance, by the watch tower, they see figures on the ground. Worried, they run toward the clearance to see what has happened. They all immediately stop in their footsteps when they se what's in front of them.

"What happened here?" Says Mulan gasping.

They all stare at the bodies of the soldiers on the ground, lifeless, and motionless, with holes in their chests right where the heart is supposed to be.

"Cora," says Mary Margaret, "She ripped their hearts out with her evil and twisted magic. Why would she do this?"

Suddenly they hear a distant and muffled cry. They all look around, looking for the source of the voice.

"Help me!" Cries the voice.

Mary Margaret runs toward a pile of bodies and yells to everyone else,
"Over here!"

They all run toward Mary Margaret. A moving hand is poking out of the pile of dead bodies.

"Please help me!" Says the trapped person.

They move the bodies out of the way and pull out the man from the corpses. He is dirty. Black hair and only one hand.

"It's okay now," says Mary Margaret, "what happened to you and the rest

"It was Cora," says the man gasping, "she invaded the camp and killed everyone. I pretended to be dead well."

"Come and sit. I'll get you some water," says Mulan.

They all sit down as Mulan brings water and gives it to him.

"Thank you for your kindness," he says, "I did all I could to survive.

"Well you're lucky," says Mulan, "now we have to start looking for a new portal to Storybrook."

"You're looking for a portal," says the man, "I know this land well. I can guide y-"

In a instant, Emma has the man by his hair and her dagger on his throat.

"You're not guiding us anywhere until you tell us who you really are!" Says Emma, "Have it you're way then."

Emma makes him stand up and pushes him toward a near by tree.

"Emma, what are you doing," says Elsa.

"If he doesn't want to talk we'll make him," says Emma.

She ties him to the tree with a rope and then shoots her gun into the air. Growling and roaring can be heard in the distance and the trees far away start rustling.

"What is that?" Asks Cia.

"Ogres," says Mulan starring up into the distance.

"Now," says Emma, "are you going to tell us who you are or are you going to tell it to the ogres?"

When he doesn't respond Emma waves at everyone and they start to leave.

"Wait!" He says.

Emma walks back to the tree and waits for an answer.

"My name is Hook. Captain Hook."

"Really," says Emma, "Captain Hook?"

"You don't believe me? Check my satchel."

Mary Margaret opens his satchel and pulls out a silver, curved piece of metal. A hook.

"Now release me." Says Hook.

"Not until you tell us what Cora is planning,"  says Emma.

"Cora obtained the ashes of the magic wardrobe to open a portal to Storybrooke but she needs one more thing. A magic compass. Cora seeks it."

"We'll make sure she doesn't get it and we'll take it instead," says Emma.

"You can't take it because you don't even know where to start," says Hook,"if you release me I will make the same deal I offered Cora. I get you the compass and you offer me a ride to your world."

"Why?" Says Emma.

"Because there is a crocodile I need to skin."

"Rumpelstiltskin," says Mary Margaret.

"Aye," says Hook.

The ogre roars can be heard even closer and their footsteps make the ground shake. Emma stand their for a long time and finally decides to let him go. She unties him.

"Where to?" Says Emma.

"I want my precious piece of hardware first," says Hook referring to his hook.

Mary Margaret takes the hook out of the satchel and hands it to him.

"Now I can tell you. The compass is at the top of the beanstalk. We need to steal if front the Giants."

"Giants?" Says Emma. "How do we get up there."

"With these," says Hook taking out two cuffs. "This will let us climb. The beanstalk is about a day journey form here."

"No need for that," says Emma, "I can poof us there."

"How could you possibly-"

Hooks words are stopped as a cloud of white smoke engulfs Mary Margaret, Mulan, Hook, and the six Saviors. When the smoke clears they are in a scarce landscape with a big, green branch that stretches up all the way into the clouds.

"Let's start climbing magic blonde," says Hook.

"I have a better idea," says Elsa,"Rumpelstiltkin taught you how to do mirror magic. You can use it to see where the compass is and then poof it into our hands."

"Good idea," says Emma,"only we don't have a mirror."

"Leave it to me," says Elsa.
She opens her hand and puddle of water is in her hand. Then she waves her other hand over the water and it freezes into a crystal, reflective ice.

"Here you go," says Elsa handing the mirror to Emma.

Emma holds up the mirror to her face and closes her eyes. She clears her mind and feels what she wants to find and where it is located. Then she feels the precise location. When she opens her eyes, the mirror is clouded but it fades away revealing the compass' location. Emma smiles and waves her hand in front of her. White smoke covers her hand and it is replaced by a gold compass.

"Great," says Hook, "now we need to steal the ashes form Cora."

"Yes we do," says Emma, "but not you. Elsa, freeze him!"

Elsa extends her arms and points at hook. She shoots an icy blast at hook, sending him flying toward the bottom of the beanstalk. The ice freezes Hook's arms and legs onto the bean stalk. He tries to move but he can't.

"We made a deal!" Yells Hook.

Emma looks at Hook in the eyes, "But I never trust a villain. Not after what Regina did to me."

Emma waves her hands and everyone disappears in a cloud of white smoke, leaving hook behind.

Shortly after they left, the ice containing hook is starting to melt. It finally melts and Hook stands up. He starts to walk away when a cloud of purple smoke appears in front of him. Cora is standing in front of him.

"You should of never left my side Captain," says Cora,"but you are welcome to join me again.

"My pleasure," says Hook.

"But I need you to do a job for me," says Cora smiling, "I need you to take a heart from a princess."
