I Wish: The Dark in my Light Heart

The Kitchen Knife

(Molly's POV)

Mr. Gold and Regina leaves and I hear two people talking.  One is Henry and the other one is a voice I don't recognize, but it seems familiar.  My brain tells me to go downstairs and investigate but I know then the Darkone may come out.  They aren't hiding anything from me but right now I don't want to take any chances of the Darkone coming out.  They would never hide anything from me. 

I draw throughout the night when everyone is asleep.  Faint whispers of the dagger invading my mind since I do not possess the dagger anymore, Roland does.  But I push them aside knowing if I let them get to my head my family will be in danger and then no one would be able to control me if I got out of hand.  But I won't get out of hand.  Roland is very protective of the dagger so it won't get into the wrong hands, not my mothers and not David's.  I don't trust David since he doesn't trust me.  He use to trust me, I don't know what happened.  Maybe the sudden falling into the darkness again and betraying everyone.  But he also needs to understand that I am trying to get rid of it and the only reason I am the Darkone again is because of Pan. 

The morning comes and I head downstairs making a pot of coffee for everyone when they wake up.  I make Henry a hot cocoa with cinnamon because I know it is his favorite.  Everyone is still asleep when I put eggs, bacon, and pancakes on the stove.  I already know that David won't eat this but I still make some for him anyway.  The eggs were the first thing to be done so I put them on plates. Enough for Regina, Mr. Gold, Roland, Henry, Emma, Mary Margret, David, Hook, Robin and myself. 

I call Regina and Mr. Gold asking them to come over for breakfast. Telling them I made it by myself, I already know that Hook will be over soon since him and Emma are going sailing together today after. 

When I am placing the last plate of food and coffee down on the table everyone slowly walks into the kitchen area.  Emma's eyes widen as I stand by the table smiling at the food I have prepared.  Regina, Robin, and Roland followed by Mr. Gold and Hook walk into the loft. David looks from the food over to the people who just walked in confused and a bit angry.

"I hope you guys don't mind but, I came downstairs early and made everyone breakfast and invited them," I say smiling still ear to ear.

David growls lowly at me, "Well you should have asked us about it first.  How do we know that you didn't poison this food too."

My smile turns into a frown quickly, "I didn't poison the food David.  Plus you're not my father I don't have to ask you, and I'm sorry I wanted my family here.  At least the family I trust and the family that trusts me," I snap at him.

"It's my house, whatever I'm not eating this.  Lets go to Granny's Snow" David says holding Neal's hand and walking out of the loft.

"Whatever. I did just prepare a meal for everyone that took me an hour," I state at his back slumping down in a chair.

"Are you okay Molly," Regina asks placing a hand on my hand as she sits next to me. 

"Yeah, just perfect.  I just worked my butt off for nothing.  By the way Henry if you want it, if you don't think I poisoned the food I made you a hot cocoa instead of coffee" I say sipping my coffee.

"Um, thanks Molly," Henry says smiling taking the mug.

I could tell he is hiding something.  I always know when he is, but I won't let it bother me.  He will tell me when he is ready. I smile when Emma, Hook, Roland, Robin, Mr. Gold and Henry all sit at the table beginning to eat the food I prepared. 

"Regina, Mr. Gold I was wondering if we can stop at Granny's for lunch later today." I ask turning toward the two sitting next to me.

"Of course dear, but may I ask why just us two?" Regina asks me smiling but a little bit of worry showing in her eyes.
