Wish

Chapter 9 Half

As the black and red glistening gown swooshed around the floor, Molly gaped at the Evil Queen. "What? Cat got your tongue? Aren't happy to see mommy?" The Evil queen smiled. "You are not my mum," Molly shook her head slowly.

"Aren't I though?" The Evil Queen pouted. "How is this even possible?" Molly wondered. "Well it's magic, I'm the half of the Regina that got what she wanted, well mostly," The Evil Queen shrugged. 

"And..." She started and halts. Killian holds his hook towards her neck, as the others rush around. Regina places her arm around Molly. "I suggest you shove off your majesty, unless you like the feeling of steel to flesh," He warns. 

"Well I did before," She turns and smirks at him. "How is this possible?" Molly asks as Regina unties her. "She's the worst half of me," Regina said. "I'm the better half," the Evil Queen said. "Shove off," Killian said once more.

The Evil Queen poofed away in a cloud of purple smoke. 

"You sure I'm not old enough for rum yet?" Molly sighed. 

"So you removed the Evil Queen from you? And she just is a whole person?" Molly asked as the group settled around the loft. 

"Yes, basically," Regina nodded. Henry opens the book, "She definitely got out, I'm not sure how though," Henry shook his head.

"Maybe it had something to do with wish realm, that was a portal, perhaps when we returned, it let her escape," Emma said. 

"Probably something like that, now we have to get rid of her," Regina said. "Again..." Killian sighed. 

"Wait," Molly thought. 

The group turns to the young girl curiously. "My Papa technically fell in love with her before she became happy, she was still evil when she lost the magic, but then she fell in love with him," Molly said.

"You're thinking your Papa is the solution here?" Killian asked. "Well it's not really her though, it's another version all together," Molly said. 

"An Evil one," Regina said. "Molly is onto something though," Regina thought. "She's the worst part of me, and Evil Queen in wish realm was almost the same as me by the time she died, because Molly changed her," Regina voiced.

"We don't even know what she wants Regina, especially with Molly," Mary Margaret said. "I don't think she wants Molly for anything particular, she was mainly the bait," Regina said. 

"Regina what are you thinking?" Killian asked. "She needs to become me," Regina said. "Come again?" Killian asked.

"I really don't like the sound of this," Molly argued. "The only way to hurt her is to hurt me, we can't really hurt her," Regina said. 

"I'm not about to let another version of you die," Molly said. "Well, to be fair lass, I may not be your actual Papa, but you'll have to just deal with what we decide," Killian said.

Molly didn't like the sound of that one bit. 

As the group orchestrated a plan, Molly quietly opened the window to the loft and slipped out. 

The group made an agreement on their plan to go after the Evil Queen. "Molly's gone," Henry announced after checking upstairs.

"Bloody hell, I better be ready for this baby given this child is already testing me and she's not even really mine," Killian sighed. "She's a pirate, of course she got out," Regina sighed.

The group was once again on the hunt for Molly, and now the Evil Queen was at large. 

Meanwhile in Wish Realm

The Jolly Roger headed toward the cyclone water, as he turned the helm to dive through the portal. "Where are we going Cap'n?" an older Smee asks. 

"A curious place, called Storybrooke," WHook answers, as the Jolly Roger spirals out of the wish realm. 

In Storybrooke

Molly stands in the doorway to the Mayor's office. "My my, aren't you the perfect combination of myself and the Captain," Evil Queen smiled at her. 

Molly twirled her sword in her hand. "I know I can't really hurt you, but you should be good at a fight," Molly said bravely. 

"Is that any way to talk to your mother?" Evil Queen scoffed. "YOU are NOT my MOTHER!!" Molly shouted, her father's temper shining through. 

With that Molly charged, sword lifted and the Evil Queen quickly produced her own in her hand. 

With a clang, Molly landed against her sword and looked at her. Conflicting feelings running through her blood as she stared at the face of her mother. 

This was not her mother, her eyes weren't full of love, they were cold. Molly whipped around the other way, and the pair were battling in a full on sword fight. 

Molly didn't hold back and did every move her father taught her. 

Her year of mourning working to her advantage as she used her intense emotions to battle the worst part of Regina. 

The group searches frantically around town for Molly, and a small shake washes over town as the second Jolly Roger lands at the docks. 

The group heads to Regina's office, seeing a light on, suddenly a window shatters. Killian rushes first ahead of everyone. 

"You aren't the mother I want!!" Molly shouted, and the Evil Queen magically threw her sword towards the girl. 

Molly halts and closes her eyes. 

"No!!!" Killian yells and jumps in front of Molly. His hook helping to somewhat slow down the sword coming. It wasn't enough and the sword cuts through his coat to his abdomen.

A light once again washes over them all. "What..... no..." The Evil Queen sighs. Molly kneels, and looks up to see the Evil Queen, slowly turning to dust. 

"Killian!!" Regina rushes in, with the group behind. The group stares as the Evil Queen has vanished for good.

"A sacrifice," Regina realizes that Killian saving Molly destroyed the Evil Queen, as an act of true love. 

Regina cries, holding Killian's head. He smiles gently at her and Molly. "At least I sort of knew my child," He uttered struggling. 

Regina attempts magic on him, "I can't... because it was her sword," Regina cries. "Molly can," Emma realizes. 

"What? Me?" Molly asked. "The light, that has to be it," Emma said. Regina looked at Molly with tears filled in her eyes, and knelt down to Killian.

She hovered her hands over Killian and healed him. Smiling, he sits up, and hugs the child. 

"Papa!" Molly yelps over his shoulder. 

The group looks, and a matching Killian Jones, just a little more grey, stands before them. 

Molly races to his arms, "Oh Molly," he breathes, holding her tightly in his grasp. "Papa," She cries against his chest. 

Regina helps Killian to his feet. "You were right, You would have done the same as mum," Molly says to her Papa and looks at the younger version of Hook.

"You were in good hands then," WHook nods at his younger other version. 

"I am aging quite gracefully aren't I?" Killian smirks. "Oh Killian!" Regina laughed and rolled her eyes. 

"Wow this is freaky," David said as the two Captain's grasped hands. 

A/N--- Now we get a happy ending in the next and final chapter.. and a new story will begin.
