Into The Dark, I Will Follow

Chapter 1// A Special Fairy

Running, she drew out her sword feeling the cold steel run across her leg. The freezing night air threatened to freeze her poorly clad body as she dodged another vine.

"Freeze!" She yelled.

The offender halted to a dead stop less than 15 feet away.

"We've got you surrounded, stop and put your hands up and tell us where you took Regina!"

The hooded figure paused, slowly pivoting on their small feet. As the perpetrator faced the group raising their hands the hood fell from above their head.

Emma gasped,, the slight curls from blonde hair piled up on top of her head in a bun fell down to frame the scared face of a young looking girl.

"Tinkerbell?!"

The night sky folded over the edges of this realms galaxy like a blanket covered in stars.

"You seem lost my Queen."

Regina turned, flicking small water droplets over her shoulder, registering the hook that was now stopping the ship from it's current course.

"Why are you slowing down? In case you didn't know my sons life is in danger."

"Oh I know, my hot-headed Queen," Hook responded, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, keeping one on the wheel, "my plan is to take us to the far side of the island, link up with the widest part of the river. Then we shall sail through and take him by surprise."

Regina blinked. She had not been expecting the captain to respond back so quickly to her remark, much less tell her his plan.

"The irony," he added before she could think.

"What irony?" She found herself questioning.

"Oh. I spent more time than I care to remember trying to leave this place and kill Rumpelstiltskin. And here I am sailing right back into it's heart with him as my guest of honor," he said adding under his breath as he looked out upon the ship, "It's not quite the happy ending I was hoping for."

The brunette was taken aback at the pirates openness. Ever since they had made it through the portal and the initial adrenaline that had brought the not so likely crew together all aboard the same small living space in hopes to save Henry had warn off, her mind had begun to race. How did they really plan to save him? No one had bothered to think about the fact that all of the members aboard the old ship were in some fashion mortal enemies to another. She hadn't even thought about the irony revolving around the captain letting the man he swore to kill step foot aboard his ship, much less take up quarters for the time remaining. She had been to preoccupied with her thoughts circling the Charming family. How in a flash of few moments, , they all stood together believing they were going to die, mortal enemies, together yet alone,. Herself accepting her fate that she would absorb the power of the trigger until her body couldn't contain it any longer, then die along with the rest of the town. Then as if by fate, the blonde breaking away for the embrace of her family with a new found light in her eye proclaiming that she might be able to stop the crystal if she were to join in containing it. The intense rush of magic coursing through her veins as the blonde began to restrain the diamond followed by the blast of energy as the magic con-caved and the immanent destruction of the town stopped.

Her thoughts then began to jumble as the seconds flashed by of her realizing that by the aid of the other woman they had saved Storybrooke, and their lives all to then realize that they had lost Henry in the process. The immediate fear that had struck her heart was sickening as she ran after the prepetrators who had her son. All to be to late as the end of the portal collapsed just out of reach with her son no where in sight. Then the joining of the unlikely rescue crew and the dawning of the ship going through the portal containing the woman who she had sworn to rid of her happiness in the arms of her true love, the man who had darkened her mind and blackened her heart with magic, the self serving pirate at the helm and the woman who was supposed to be her undoing next to her.
