Daggers

Chapter 7 Own

"I didn't know that's what you meant by do evil..." Regina gathers herself from her bed. Killian smirks at her, and uses magic to button his shirt up in a wave of his hand. As soon as Killian had the dagger, and the pair romantically kissed, he poofed them to her bedroom. Regina is surprised that was his first thought, but then again, he's always been quite physical in his darker days. 

"Are we going to discuss something?" Regina asks. He sighs, "Really? Haven't we talked enough?" he asks. "We haven't talked about a solution for this," Regina said. "A solution for what?" he presses his lips. "A solution for you being the dark one," she says. "Well as I understand about this, there's not many options love, how long was the crocodile this being? Centuries, but now I'm immortal," he smiles.

"Killian, you don't want to be this, having that in your head, you wanted to forget the past, and move on, with me," She says. "Where is my Evil Queen? Did I bang her out of you?" He smiles devilishly. "Killian..." Regina says, more affirmatively, yet pleading. He breathes, "Women, always want to talk," he shakes his head. It's the dark one now, she knows it. 

"I have my own plans, I have things I want, one of them is you, now... the question is do you want me for more than what we just did in that bed or not?" He says. She's taken aback by his ultimatum, but she isn't surprised, as the darkness is digging itself deeper into the heart of the man she loves. 

"I want Killian Jones," she said. "Killian Jones died when Rumple cut off my hand, it's been HOOK for centuries," he said. "Fine, I want Captain Hook, but I also know Captain Hook is more than that attachment," Regina said. "Mmm, you know it," he winks. She rolls her eyes, becoming frustrated, she slips automatically back to Evil Queen. 

"You want me and I want you, you are going to listen to me," Evil Queen's voice comes out of her mouth, teasing him, but also tempting him, and getting through to the darkness deep within. "So help me," he says. "You want me to be this again?" she mocks, "I love the Queen, always did," he said. "Even when you betrayed me," he grits his teeth, and bites his lower lip. It's coming to the surface now, his feelings of the past. 

She stares up at him, "Just like you had me kill my father, I was going to betray you first, and get him away, I didn't, and remained loyal to you," he said. "And I seduced you, and went ahead with my plan," she admits. "Mmm, I was with your mother, no matter, but then you two decided...." he presses his lips again, "Betray you again..." she sighs. "Mmm, we have a deep history," he grins down at her. 

"And you're upset about that," she states. "Mmm, not really, just thought I would remind you, in case you forgot," he says. "I haven't," she shakes her head. "I expect Henry will be here soon," he said. "Umm, perhaps, yes," she nods. "They'll be worried about you," he said. "Who?" Regina asks, "The heroes," he said. "I'm worrying about you right now," Regina said. "Aww," he bites his lip once more, and shifts with the dagger on his hip. She stares at it, questioning her giving it to him.

It's too late now, she's already given the dagger to him and there's no way to get it back. "Come to me tonight," he says, "What?" she asks, "You'll know where to find me," he says. With a swift kiss to her cheek, before she can realize, he poofs away. "Son of a bitch," she sighs. 

At the loft 

"So do you know anything?" Emma asks, "Well, I know enough that he doesn't want to destroy Gold until he can actually speak, probably a guy thing, they want to torment each other, are we surprised?" Regina sighs. "How are you doing with this Regina?" Mary M asks, concerned. "I'm... conflicted, I felt even myself becoming the Queen again as I was acting it to get things out of him," she sighed. "You're just trying to relate to him," Emma says. 

"Rumple is talking to him, he's in his head, egging him on, even if means killing Gold," Regina said. "That's.. umm.. awkward," David thinks out loud. "You gave him the dagger though?" Emma asks, "I did," Regina regrets. There's a banging on the table, they look over, completely forgetting that Zelena is there, and can't speak. 

She opens her mouth, with a smile, and no sound. "Right, fine, you're here, you may as well speak," Regina waves her hand. "You're forgetting the part about how he wants to kill me and put that darkness in me," she says. "What?" Emma asks, "I don't exactly know how he thought he can do that," Regina shrugs. 

"I do," Belle comes rushing through the door with books, "Still a bookworm, even in my vault," Regina rolls her eyes. "You'll want to hear it," Belle places the book down. "The dagger is part of excalibur," she points, and the others look on at the pages of the worn book. "Excalibur?" Regina asks, making the connection. 

"Regina?" Emma asks, "Excalibur, if it is part of the dagger than can only mean that Merlin is the one who made it, or he's at least connected to it, Merlin is the source for all magic," Regina said. "Dark too?" Emma asks, "I don't think so, but that's the key, that's the answer, we have to find out about Merlin," Regina said. "Is he alive?" Emma asks, "I don't know," Regina shrugs. "We'll find out Mom," Henry holds her hand, making Regina somewhat relax.

"If Killian knows this about the dagger, he could already be trying to find a way to connect to it, maybe that's why he thinks he can destroy the darkness," David said. "Using me!" Zelena snaps. "Oh stop it greenie, no one is going to kill you unless it's me," Regina snaps. 

"So he wants to kill Gold, that's a given," David says, "And then do something with the darkness? Or he just wants to be untethered from the dagger?" Emma asks, "I'm not sure, for all I know he may want to keep the magic but not have that control from the dagger, he hates to be controlled, that's his problem, he was controlled his whole life. Much like me, we were being conditioned to be people we weren't," Regina said. 

"Umm... mom?" Henry alerts them all, "What is that?" Emma looks out the window, there's smoke coming to them all quickly.
