Daggers

Chapter 2 Summon

A/N-- SO I always found it really weird that you couldn't just call the dark one at the end of S4, that makes no sense, because it's true the dagger calls the dark one from any corner of the world, that to me means any realm too... So in this story, Regina can summon Killian from SB, there is no Camelot. 

Hook is dropped into a dimly lit empty room. It's stone. The darkness swirling around him, he relives his worst memories of his life. Images of Liam dying in his arms, Rumple crushing Milah's heart, powerless to stop it. Losing his hand afterwards, the last image he sees is Regina's eyes in front of him. 

He screams, and he begins to rise out of the cement vault, with hoods around him. He breathes, "bloody hell," he looks around, all he sees is forest. He isn't alone however, "Hello," Rumple waves at him. "Bloody crocodile," he grits his teeth. "Isn't this ironic?" Rumple grins at him. "I'm not listening to you," Hook holds up his finger, annoyed at the demon in front of him. "But you do want me, the other me, the one without power," Rumple giggles. 

As Rumple was the previous Dark one, he's seen by only Hook now, egging him on so to speak. Hook finds it difficult to block out his enemy. "That was quite the sacrifice," Rumple says. "I have to get back to Regina," Hook twitches, "Mmm you feel that?" Rumple asks, "What?" Hook snaps. "That is her calling you, and you can't deny it, it's the tether," Rumple said. "No, Regina would never control me," Killian denies. 

In Storybrooke 

Regina has lowered the shield around Storybrooke. She stands near the town line, near the woods. "Mom?" Henry comes to her, "Henry, I thought you were going to stay with Emma?" Regina asks. "You sure you want to be alone?" Henry asks. "I don't know what to expect from him, it's best," Regina nods. "Rumple was trying to break free from the control of the dagger, and still remain the dark one," Henry says. "I know, why don't you go do some research? Back in the loft? I'll be there soon," Regina said. "With Hook?" Henry asks, "I don't know," Regina shakes her head. 

Henry heads off and Regina fights with herself, if she controls him, he will feel betrayed, but she needs to get him there. She hopes that given the short time it's been, that he won't get too upset about being summoned. She holds the dagger in front of her, fighting a tear from her eye, "Killian Jones, I summon thee," she says slowly, not even believing she has to say these words. 

She waits a moment, and suddenly behind her, "Regina." He says. She jolts around, his hair unmade, like they had awoke from bed, he's in his classic full black leather outfit again. "Hi," she breathes. He stares at her, and the corners of his mouth go up. She softly smiles at him, with a soft breath escaping her mouth. 

"You wanted to summon me? Why not let me find you?" He asks. "I... " she looks down at the dagger, "I didn't want to take the chance, I wanted you to get here," She says. He bites his bottom lip, staring at her. "Killian?" she asks. "Mmm, that's not what you usually call me," he said. "Hook..." She states. "Nope... not that one," he winks, getting playful. 

She isn't surprised that he's becoming overly suggestive, "Captain..." she says slowly. "That's the one, except now I'm dark Captain," he smiles. "Killian, I ...can't even begin to .." she's cut off. He's grabbed her hand and pulled her into him, planting his lips hard on hers. She's surprised, but happy, and kisses him back. She knows that this could be the dark one, and not all of him, but she can't resist kissing the man she loves. 

He grins, "Mm, now we both have magic," He says. "Uhh.. yeah," She sighs. "What's wrong? Don't like the new me?" he asks. "That's not it," She says, knowing that he indeed is operating like that dark being inside. She isn't sure how much it's overpowering him. "Take it," he hears Rumple's voice. 

His head quirks. Regina looks at him, "Take the dagger from her, you've seduced her, do it," Rumple commands. "No..." Killian shakes his head. "Who are you talking to?" Regina asks. "No one," he lies. "Take it! You want it!" Rumple says. Killian's eyes flick down to see where Regina holds the dagger. 

"Where is everyone?" he asks. "In town," She nods. "Am I allowed there?" he asks. "Of course," Regina nods. "Just thought I should ask the Mayor," he smirks again, and puts his hand on her cheek, this isn't the dark one, this is Killian for this moment. "I didn't get to tell you," She says. "Tell me what?" He asks. 

"I...it was not really a thank you I wanted to say, and then before the darkness took you, I wanted to say something," She said. "Is that so?" Killian asks. "You know I could get us into your house in one poof now?" He smirks. "I can too," Regina smiles. "Killian, I'm trying to tell you something," she says. "Mmm," he stares at her, "I love you... "she gets it out finally. 

He tilts his head, "Do you? I'm not him," He says. "What?" She asks. "You think I'm that man you love?" He asks. "That's the first time I said it, and I mean it... still, I love you," She said. "That is the first time you said it, why now?" he asks. "I.... I needed to tell you, you should know that someone loves you," She said. He smiles, she isn't sure what it is, "Well that works quite nicely," he smiles. "Does it?" She asks. 

"Mmm," he nods. He waves his hand and a poof of red smoke takes them to Regina's house. "Now then," he smirks again, and wants to continue their kiss, "Killian we have to do something," she says. "Right now? We are going to," he winks. "Killian, not that," she gently pushes him. He bites his lower lip, which drives Regina crazy, "Come on, I bet I'm better," he dances his eyebrows up. 

"Killian, we have to talk about this," She takes out the dagger. He starts to open his mouth, but he's halted, "We need to talk," she says, which stops him saying what he wanted. "Ah.." he grits his teeth. "Oh.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." she said. "Mmm..." he jolts his head angrily. "Killian your dagger," she says. "Are you giving it to me? Even Belle gave it to Rumple," he says.
