-New Beginnings: Part 1/1-

Emma stared at the huge hole she had just made in the wall of the sheriff's station.

"What have I done?"

Suddenly, she heard the commotion of people running towards her. She turned to find Hook and David approaching her.

"Just keep your distance. I don't know if I can control myself," she warned.

"Emma," Killian said, as he came closer to her.

He reached out to touch her arm to try to calm her.

"Killian, no!" she screamed, as she swung her arm away from him and sparks flew off of her.

A light post began to fall towards Hook, as Emma's eyes widened in horror. David quickly pushed Hook out of the way. The light post narrowly missed David, coming to a crash on the ground.

Emma stared in shock at Hook and David, who lay on the ground unharmed, but momentarily dazed. She made a move to help them, but more sparks flew out of her hands. She froze for a moment, then turned on her heel and took off running.

Hook's eyes followed her retreating figure, as he slowly stood up.

"Emma!" he called after her. "Emma, please stop!"

She heard his desperate cries for her, but she kept on running.

...

Hook found Emma sitting on a bench in the park. She heard him approaching and immediately sprang up, holding up her hands.

"Please, Killian, don't come any closer."

Hook stopped in his tracks. "Love, please don't shut me out again."

Emma shook her head. "I'm not shutting you out. I am trying to protect you. Can't you see that? I can't control my powers right now. I...I don't want to hurt you."

Hook shook his head sharply. "You could never hurt me."

Emma felt tears welling up in her eyes, but furiously tried to blink them back. "Not intentionally, but I don't know what I am capable of right now, Killian." She squeezed her eyes shut, as a tear slipped down her cheek. "You could've been killed just now. That light post could've killed you if it weren't for my father pushing you out of the way. And he just barely escaped being injured too."

"It wasn't your fault, Swan," he said, as he took a few tentative steps toward her.

She shook her head. "I couldn't live with myself if I did anything to hurt you, Killian. I have been so afraid of losing you. Now, I have to face the possibility that I could be the reason I lose you. Or someone else I love."

Killian's eyes widened for a moment, as she implied she loved him. She was so distraught that she didn't realize her slip or that he had taken a few more steps toward her and was now within arm's reach.
