Captain Swan One Shots

Darkness

I know I said I'm doing these in order, but this one has been on my mind all week. I promise that I'm going to try to be better with updating this book!

Thanks to TheOncerGamer who requested this one! When Rumplestiltskin returns to Storybrooke, Emma gets angry and her magic goes out of control again... Drama ensues... read on!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Emma found out that Rumplestiltskin had returned to Storybrooke, it was like something inside of her snapped.

The past six weeks, she had been happy for the first time in her life. She didn't intend on letting some pathetic -if extremely powerful- impish, murderous man destroy what she finally had: family.

The moment she found out, she started looking.

It didn't take her long to find him. She suspected he was looking for Killian, to try to get his revenge. Emma didn't intend on letting him.

In her rage though, she was unaware of the magic sparking to life in her hands.
*******
Rumplestiltskin's first thought upon returning to Storybrooke was revenge.

He was going to destroy the pirate, along with his girlfriend. They'd both ruined his life and he intended on ending their's.

The last thing he expected was for the saviour to end his.
*******
When David called Killian to warm him of the crocodile's return, his first concern was Emma.

Her reaction.

Killian knew his Swan would take action once she learned of Rumplestiltskin's return to the town, and he knew she'd do it alone.

That's when he noticed the Dark One dagger that Belle had entrusted him with was missing.
*******
All it took was one quick, fatal blast of magic.

Emma was unaware that she'd sent his dagger flying toward him.

Before she could stop it, though, the damage was done.
*******
The saviour was angry.

Very angry, and very powerful.

Rumple had died before.

He knew what dying felt like.

When his dagger came flying toward him, fuelled by Emma's magic and pierced his chest, he recognized the familiar feeling.

Death.

But at the same time, light, as the dark spirit exited his body.

In his last seconds, he was overwhelmed with guilt of what he'd become.

Guilt, because it was his fault that Emma Swan was now crying out in horror as she became the Dark One.

Guilt, because he'd never be able to properly apologize to Belle.

Guilt, for ruining Killian Jones' life, and now ruining Killian's true love's life.

Guilt.

"I'm sorry," were Rumplestiltskin's last words, directed at the woman on her knees, now in front of him before he welcomed this darkness.

The good kind.

Death.

Finally.
*******
Killian left his room, panic taking over.

Every possible, awful thing that could happen playing in his mind.

He had reason to worry.

His heart felt heavy, suddenly. It felt darker. Something had just happened... Something bad.
*******
Emma picked up the dagger from the dead man's chest.
