I Wish: The Dark in my Light Heart

Show me the Light

(Molly's POV)

Regina brings me downstairs to the kitchen where everyone sits at the counter talking my father and my brother arrives when I get downstairs.  Roland instantly runs over to Regina and gives her a hug.  His eyes fill with fear when he sees me and he runs back to Robin hiding behind his legs.  Robin just looks at me a mix of love, fear, and shock written on his face.  I look quickly at him then I turn back toward Regina and we walk up to the counter between Gold and David.  David is on high alert wrapping his arm around Snow and keeping Henry as far away from me as possible. I frown realizing they don't trust me, Regina says she does but I think she is still on the border with me. 

I have to say something to David and Snow also Belle and Gold.  But what am I suppose to say? Oh hey I'm sorry I cursed you Belle and Yeah I'm sorry I locked you guys up in a place where no one could find you ever and you could never be released unless I said so Snow and David. Ugh I have a messed up brain right now, it still is pulling my mind every second of every day.  I know it is still there and I could tell by the tone of my voice and the way I look at everyone.  I really need to get this out of me.  Even if I had to die to save my family.  At least I would die a hero.

What am I saying? I need the darkness, they need to pay.  I will never become a hero I am a villain and villains don't get happy endings and they don't help the heroes.  Never.

I snap out of it again and I turn toward the Charmings, "I'm sorry I trapped you," I say waving my hand to reveal their phones.  "Here I had them, I promise I didn't do anything to them."

David doesn't respond neither does Snow they just take the phones and puts them on the counter.  They probably don't believe me.  They have a point I still am the Darkone they shouldn't believe me.  Next I turn toward Gold.

"Um.  Mr. Gold I am sorry I put Belle under a curse and I am sorry I made you obey me.  So I am lifting the agreement.  You no longer have to listen to me.  I was being stupid and the darkness was to powerful at the time and here," I say making a contract appear, so I could make it official I make a blue feathered pen appear.  "Just sign on the dotted line, wait what am I saying.  There is no price for this." I say baffled making the contract disappear.  No one should have to pay for their freedom when I was the one who forced them to abandoned it. 

"No one should have to make a deal for their freedom.  This one is on me," I say shaking my head.

"Molly please go upstairs, we all need to have a quick talk," David says looking at me suspiciously

"Um, okay.  Just call me when you need me," I giggle and I walk upstairs quickly. 

I sit upstairs for a long time wondering what they are talking about.  I already know what they are talking about. Me.  They don't believe me, it's times like these where Rumple could appear and control me but he doesn't.  I don't even feel the darkness.  I sit there trying to listen but I can't here a thing.  Just their hushed voices but I can't make out words.  That's when I fall and hit my head hard on the side of the dresser.  I get engulfed in a vision.  I never really get these visions anymore just once in a while and I usually can't make them out.  It's just a jumble of scenes not in any order, not making sense.  I just get one clear image out of a thousand.  It's my mother she is sitting on the couch in the cabin looking in a glass ball, she is angry.  And I know it is at me, me and Regina.  Our bond together.  She is mad that I don't have a bond like that with her. 

"Molly!" I hear David scream from down stairs.

I quickly run downstairs and I stand a bit behind them all.  They turn to look at me and they all look at my forehead I reach up and see blood on my hands coming from a cut on my head.  I wave my hand and it heals. 

"Oh, um.  I fell and bumped my head, that's all." I say gulping, I usually don't get cuts, only when it was the wolf.  Things like this shouldn't effect me. 

"How," David asks sternly.

I flinch at his tone, "Um, I had a vision.  I can't make them out and they take me by surprise."

"I don't believe you.  Darkone's can't get hurt. Actually none of us believe you.  Molly you have to leave before something bad happens."

I feel my eyes fill with tears, I was trying my best to fight the darkness so I could be with my family. So they can help me get rid of it and now they are just pushing me away.  I let a tear fall and I feel the darkness try to push it's way forward. But I still push it back with all my strength.  They might not believe me but they are still my family.  And I have to protect them from the darkness.

"Okay, I know you guys don't believe me.  Who would, I was the girl who cursed you and just showed up out of no where.  You didn't believe Emma when Hook brought you back to Storybrooke.  You still thought she was evil and tricking you.  So why should I believe that you would trust a random girl from outside of Storybrooke that turned out to be the Darkone.  I wouldn't believe me either." I say turning to walk out the door. 

"Wait, how did you know that about me being the Darkone and all that stuff about me," Emma asks.

"My mother had ways of communicating to me, but never really did.  She created an illusion of a television show so I could learn about my pass without knowing it.  She had a flying monkey befriend me when everyone else bullied and pushed me away," I say sadly remembering my foster system history and Matt my only friend who turned out to be a minion of my mother.  At least I know she cared for me when she didn't even meet me.  She cared about me and sent a minion to me so I didn't have to be alone.

"You knew about this place when you first came here," Emma asks me raising a slight eyebrow.

"No, I appeared her a long time ago.  With my foster brother, I had no memory of my life before but when I met my mother I remembered.  But bits and pieces are still missing." I say sadly holding onto the door knob to leave.

"We are giving her one last chance," I hear Regina whisper.

"No.  She got to many last chances.  Remember when we gave Zelena one more last chance," David says angry.

"She is not Zelena" Regina says.

"She is her daughter, they are both alike I could tell," David replies.

"She is my daughter too.  She was just never raised like she should have been she is only fourteen.  Let's just give her one last chance," Robin says defending Regina.

"No, we are not giving her one last chance.  She is actually nineteen.  No more chances, she must leave now. Goodbye Molly" David says turning toward my sad face.

I whisper tears streaming down my face, "Goodbye."

I turn and run out the door as fast as I can.  Any where away from there.  I now know someone loves me.  But, everyone else doesn't.  One last chance was all I would have asked for.  They would have seen I wasn't lying, I am nothing like my mother.  I just want to be released from the hold of the darkness.  I just need someone to show me the light.
