(Mr. Gold's POV)

I sit on the couch in Ms. Swan's living room cradling the unconscious Molly in my arms. She is like the daughter I never had. When I was the father of Bae I messed up and let the darkness consume me. The same thing is kind of happening again with Molly, the darkness is just consuming her not me this time. Molly may not be my real daughter, but I would do anything for her to be my daughter. She is basically my daughter, I see in her eyes that she thinks of Regina and I as her parent figures, instead of Robin and Zelena. She has a connection with Robin, both of us are her father figures. I am not putting Robin down in anyway, but he does not understand what is going on inside her head, the consent battle between her own voice and the Darkone's voice not knowing which one to listen to.

Regina speaks up in the silence of me staring down at Molly, reading my mind, "She's like a daughter to you isn't she Gold?"

I smile down at Molly's sleeping face which she has a small grin on, "Yes, yes she is Regina."

Molly is breathing softly and soundly. She looks so peaceful when she is like this, Henry sits in a corner with Emma holding an ice pack to her head. She smiles weakly at Henry as he removes the ice pack and puts a bandage on her forehead. When Emma woke up she wanted to put a cuff on Molly to make sure they were all safe, but me and Regina talked her out of it. If someone was to restrain Molly, I know from being the Darkone before, it will only make her more mad instead of getting better she would get worse. The darkness is tricky, the person preforming dark things may not think it is wrong at that time.

Molly breath suddenly hitches and her face scrunches up, like she is in pain. I try to sooth her by rubbing her head like I use to do with Baelfire when he was a child, but that doesn't work. She starts to shake violently in my arms. Regina jumps up trying to get her to stop, but she doesn't. She continues to trash around for ten more minutes, when she stops she begins to cry and whimper in her sleep. She occasionally mutters something like 'no, please' or 'go away, I don't want your help.' I figure she is having a nightmare but she is the Darkone and Darkone's don't sleep.

I remember her saying she can see into the future like I use to when I was the Darkone. After I lost my magic, after I gave it up to be with Belle that trait disappeared. No one had it until Molly did recently. I figured out not to long ago with help from Regina and Sydney that when Pan, Cora, and Nimue tethered Molly back to the darkness Pan somehow concocted a spell to combine with the darkness to make Molly have all the powers I had, which included the Seer's power I took in my early days of the Darkone.

I start to doze off, holding Molly close to me. A few minutes later when I feel like I am going to fall asleep, Molly jumps up suddenly her face red with anger.

(Molly's POV)

The dreams were horrible, but they weren't dreams, I can't sleep so I can't have dreams. I was in the fire room again, but this time instead of having Henry or Joe there, there was all of the Darkones. They were controlling me and trying to have me kill the people I love Roland, Robin, Regina, Mr. Gold and Henry. I would try using all of my power to push them away but they wouldn't leave. The most scary part that happened before I woke up was that they made me kill them. The next thing I know was that I was on someone's lap in a room I didn't recognize, all of them staring at me. Anger and hatred fills my eyes, who are these people.

I jump up ready to yell, before I realize I am standing in Emma's living room with Regina, Mr. Gold, Emma, and Henry.

Henry.... He betrayed me and went to Violet who is laying on a couch soundly under my curse, under a fluffy blanket. If me and Violet were to switch places I would be thrown in the streets, he wouldn't care if I was under a curse, he would be focusing on saving Violet, like he is now. I turn toward him, ready again to rip his heart out, now going to curse it this time.

Mr. Gold reaches up grabbing my hand, my eyes widen wider than it has ever before. All the Darkone's are gone, even Rumplestiltskin. I am in control of my own actions and thoughts again. I freeze turning around quickly toward Mr. Gold hugging him tight. He looks surprised seeing me hugging him. I jump up and down getting excited like a little kid getting ice cream, that the darkness is gone.

I realize there are different ways to get my happy ending, this is not one and never was. I need to try to fix this once and for all. Revenge isn't the key to my happiness, it isn't the key to anyone's happiness in that case. I turn over to Mr. Gold and Regina ready to say that I was sorry when a blast of pain shoots through my head, my knees go weak and I kneel down.

"Molly! Are you okay," Mr. Gold asks jumping up.

"No time to explain. I will explain everything later, just not now," I say gasping standing up.

I reach my hand out palm up, using all my power I concentrate on the one thing that can control me, the one thing that will help me, my dagger. In my mind I see Roland in a coat, the dagger safely tucked in the inside pocket walking up to Granny's with Robin. 'I'm sorry Roland' I think. I use that image and my power to take the dagger. The dagger appears in my hand. Everyone in the room gasps.

"I swear I am not doing anything bad, but I know with this is the only way to do it. And I would need this anyway so you guys don't stop me," I say holding the black handle of my dagger, knowing it will be the last time I hold it.

"Stop you from doing what," Regina asks stepping closer to me.

"Doing something to save you all, but may hurt me. I am destroying the darkness. I did a lot of research and finally found out the way to destroy it once and for all. All I needed to do was figure out where was the first time I really felt at home, the first time I really felt like I was apart of a family. I did not know where that was until now, I need to take you guys there." I say teleporting us along with Roland and Robin to the place where I first felt at home. The old wishing well, when I received that locket from Regina and Robin.

"I must use the dagger to take the darkness out of me and destroy an object I keep close to my heart," I say letting a tear fall down my cheek as I take off my locket and take out my dagger. "This is the last time you guys will see the darkness and possibly me.

Before I see Regina's gasp and reaction I raise my dagger closing my eyes summoning all of my power to take all of the darkness out of me. It takes along time, and it gets loud with all of the Darkone's talking in my head but when I get all of the darkness into the dagger I quickly smash the locket with the dagger. I take a deep breathe and throw both the dagger and the locket in the well. I collapse feeling the power leave me.

Regina comes over and helps me up, that's when I see it, the thing that I felt was watching me, it was coming right for me. I gasp and push Regina to the side getting her out of the reach of the monster. It grabs hold of me and flies away with me in its arms, away from my family. I hear distant screams from below calling my name but, when the monster brings me through a portal I forget about it.

I look around where the monster dropped me off, I was on a beach a forest a few paces behind me. The monster, which was a dark figure, a shadow looms above me. I look up at it in amaze.

"Welcome to Neverland Molly," says the Shadow.
