The Dark One's Daughter

The Heart of The Truest Believer

Once Hook threw the bean into the water a portal opened up and we went in. It seemed like forever before we finally landed in water once again.

"Is that it?" Emma asked

"Aye Neverland" Hook said. Just great.... last time I was here was with Neal and lets just say I had no intention of coming back to this island. I dont want Henry going through the same hell we did.

"Hey you okay?" Snow asked

"Huh" I said "Oh yeah just lost in thought" "Thinking about Henry and my brother"

"We will get Henry back" Snow said "As for Neal...he'd want you to be strong"

"I know" I said I glance at Hook and couldn't help but smile just a little. He was always so serious when it came to sailing.

"Something going on between you and Hook?" Snow asked

"What no!" I said and she raised an eyebrow "I dont know" "He's been surprising me in a good way lately"

"Well remember who your father is" Snow said

"Like I can forget?" I asked

"Why are you slowing down?" Regina asked "In case you didn't know, my son's life is in danger."

"Oh, I know, my hot-headed Queen." Hook said "The plan is to bring us to the far side of the island, link up with the widest part of the river, and.. then we sail right through, take by surprise. The irony..."

"What irony?"

 "Oh, I spent more time than I care to remember trying to leave this place to kill Rumpelstiltskin." Hook said "And here I am, sailing right back into its heart with him as my guest of honor." "It's not quite the happy ending I was hoping for."
 

"Greg Mendell said something funny to me." Regina said "He said I'm a villain, and that villains don't get happy endings." "You believe that?"

"I hope not, or we've wasted our lives." Hook said. I could feel someone looking at me. I tuned and sure enough it was Hook. I gave a small wave and he winked at me. I see Emma talking with her parents and I start to go over there.

"Emma, the minute I let go of the belief that things will get better is the minute that I know they won't." Snow said "We'll find Henry."

"No, you won't." We all turn to see papa in his dark one outfit

"Papa?" I asked

"Oh, that's a great use of our time—a wardrobe change." Hook said

 "I'm gonna get Henry." Papa said

 "We agreed to do this together." Regina said

 "Actually, we made no such agreement." Papa said

 "Why are you doing this papa?" I asked

"Because I wanna succeed." Papa said

 "What makes you think I'm gonna fail?" Emma asked

 "Well, how could you not?" Papa asked "You don't believe in your parents, or in magic, or even yourself."

"I slayed a dragon." Emma said "I think I believe."

"Only what was shown to you." Papa said "When have you ever taken a real leap of faith?" "You know, the kind where there's absolutely no proof?" "I've know you some time, Miss Swan." 
"And, sadly, despite everything you've been through, you're still just that... bail bonds-person, looking for evidence." "Well, dearie, that's not gonna work in Neverland."
