I wake up in the morning, feeling restless after the nightmare I had in the night. There was a tray with a plate of breakfast and drink. I sit up and start eating the food. When I'm finished, I get out of the bed and take the tray to the kitchen. I see a note on the counter top.

Help yourself to some food. Don't let anyone through the door, I'll be back soon

- Killian

Guess I'm alone. I turn on the TV and sit on the couch, flipping through the channels. I put on a music channel and walk through the apartment, making sure I didn't touch anything. I saw my bag on the floor and quickly look through it, making sure nothing was missing. I see that everything is there and wander around. I look at the table side by the TV and see Killian's watch next to a little box. I look at the box curiously but I don't dare touch it. Being out in the open, I could tell it was something special. I grab my notebook and look at the table side with the items on top and start drawing. I zone everything around me out and focus on the drawing, letting my hand flow with the pencil. The apartment is filled with silence, only my breathing could be heard. A couple of hours had passed and I was finally finished with my drawing. I hear the door open and close again.

"Blake?" I hear Killian call out.
"Main room!" I shout, adding some touches to the drawing.

He walks into the main room and I hear his footsteps stop. I look up and he's observing me. I hold up my notebook and show him the drawing I did.

"That's incredible. How long did it take you?" He asks.
"A couple of hours but I had nothing better to do." I answer, closing the book.

He sits down on the couch next to me.

"Any progress on catching the killer? Or getting rid of this curse?" I ask, hopeful of a positive answer.

Killian frowns and shakes his head.

"Not a clue for either one." He answers.
"Dammit." I say, a little disappointed.

No one could be blamed, apart from the person who cast the curse. They can definitely be blamed for everything that's happened. I feel Killian's hand on top of mine and I look up at him.

"Don't lose hope, love. We'll find a way to fix this." He says, smiling.
"You have a lot of hope about this." I point out.

He just smiles and I laugh, shaking my head. My phone starts ringing and I see that it's Jade calling me.

"Sup pup?" I ask.
"Hey, that's my line." She says.

I just laugh and we start having a random conversation.

(Killian's Pov)

As Blake starts talking to Jade A.KA. Skylar, I quietly observe her, seeing how happy she is. Only a few people had their past memories back, including me, but I didn't want to break the curse. Seeing how happy she was without the pain of the past, she looked at peace. That's what she had been looking for since I knew about her past. But if there's one thing I do know: If this curse does break and she remembers every thing from before, she can get through it.

(Blake's Pov)

I get off the phone with Jade and put my phone on charge. I hear Killian talking to someone. I assume he's on the phone until I hear another voice.

"Killian, look at yourself. Her memories won't return to her unless you move on from her." It was a woman's voice but I didn't recognize it.

There was silence but she spoke up again.

"Leave her, Killian. Come back to me and this will all blow over. You'll be back with me and he will take her back to.....wherever he stays." She says.

He? Who is he and who is she?

"You'll have to make a decision soon, Jones. Time is running out for your precious girlfriend." She says then I hear a door shut.

Time is running out? Does that mean, if Killian doesn't move on from me.....I'm going to die anyways? There had to be a way for me to remember without needing anything special.

"Blake, I know you were listening." Killian says.

I silently curse in my head and pop my head around the corner.

"I wasn't listening." I lie.
"Then how are you by that corner?" He asks.
"I just happened to be there as you said.....whatever you said." I say, trying not to laugh.

Killian shakes his head but I do see a faint smile.

"Listen, I don't know who that woman was but maybe she's right. Time might actually be running out and the longer you try to stay with me, the further away we are from getting my memories back. Killian, I need you to move on. I understand that it needs to happen." I say, a tear rolling down my cheek.

God knows I didn't want him to move on but it had to happen. For the sake of the people, it needs to be done. It was a bad thing that everyone's fate were on his shoulders but I know he can do this.

"Even if it hurts you?" He asks with a voice crack.
"Even if it hurts me." I whisper, looking down at the floor.
"Oh will you lovebirds just move on already, I don't have all day." I hear someone say harshly.

I whip my head up and turn around and see someone that looked so familiar.

"I'm sorry but who are you?" I ask, confused.
"You don't even remember me? Wow, the spell is stronger than I thought." The guy says.

Who the hell did this asshole think he was? Oh my god, is this the one who casted the curse? Because I swear to god, if it is, I am going to punch the living daylights out of him.

"Get away from her, Leo. You're about to have your wish granted." Killian says.

But that's the only thing I hear before I have tons of flashbacks. Killian, Skylar, Yuuki, Regina, Henry, Everyone. I remember them!

"A flaw in your curse, asshole." I say, smirking.
"And what's that, Blake?" Leo asks.
"Oh no, I'm not Blake. It's Jasmine and you had a loophole in your curse. You see, the minute Killian said your name, the person who I hate the most, my memories all flooded back." I say, smiling.

He didn't look impressed but I knew one thing; This town needed saving and I planned on doing just that.
