The cool brace clamped onto her wrist. Her heart twisted.

"I don't want you getting in my way dearest swan." Hook sneered.

She didn't answer. Excalibur was on the bench right beside her, if she could just get hold of it.

He slid his cool hook over her cheek. "It's strange to think that not long ago I would do anything for you."

Emma frowned. "That's just the darkness talking."

He laughed manically. "You sound just like your dear mother."

In a flash Emma shoved past him and snatched for Excalibur. Just as her fingers wrapped around its jeweled hilt, then Hook's arm curved around her stomach and the cold metal of his hook was pressed against her throat. "Ah, ah, ah. No we won't have any of that swan."

She thrashed. "Please let me go Killian, you don't have to do this."

He laughed. "Oh, I do tire of hearing that"

She twisted in his grasp, his hook pressing painfully against her neck.

He slid his hand down her arm and twisted the sword out of her hand.

"No, you can't do this." Emma pulled away from him. But not fast enough, his hook slid against the soft skin on her neck, leaving a deep jagged scratch.

"You really don't know when to give up swan." He grabbed her throat this time. Crushing it painfully.

"Please." She coughed. "Please, I love you Killian."

He smirked sardonically. "That's unfortunate."

She clawed at his hand, tears streaming down her face. "Please, you're hurting me Killian."

He scowled, the released her. She crumpled to the ground, sobbing.

Hook placed excalibur on the bench again, caressing it.

The look on his face was terrifying, he looked drunk. Drunk with power. Emma was afraid of him. She felt that in that moment, he would not hesitate to kill her. Maybe he sensed her fear, because he knelt down on his knees in front of her. "If you don't try and stop me, I won't hurt you love."

She looked straight into his eyes, there was not a hint of sincerity, there was only darkness, and the pure lust to spread it even more. He wanted to hurt people, Emma knew exactly how that felt. Then she turned and ran, blood running down her neck and tears prickling her eyes. She was afraid, afraid of the man she loved more than anything.

Emma had sat in the exact same place for what felt like hours. Inside an old crumbling building by the docks, it was cold and damp. She couldn't stop crying. She felt pathetic, filled with self pity and loathing for herself. She was worthless. How could she make him so unhappy. How could she be so selfish?

After a while she began to feel dizzy, it was the wound on her neck, still bleeding. Gods, it didn't matter anyway. If she bled to death, who would really care? Hook hated her. Her own family didn't even trust her. She choked back another sob. Pathetic, she was bloody pathetic. Her whole throat was bruised and tender from Hook's hand, she touched it gingerly. Then she closed her eyes and buried her head in her hands.

"Stand up swan."

Emma tensed, panic filling her. She looked up slowly, Hook was standing in the dim light of the building, his arms crossed.

She scrambled and was on her feet in a flash. "Please don't hurt me KIllian, I won't get in your way...I-I can leave StoryBrooke...I will-."

He raised his hand "I am not here to hurt you swan."

She coughed. "Please just leave me."

He didn't answer, his eyes were glued to the wound on her neck. "Swan, that wound will eventually kill you, my hook was enchanted."

Emma turned her back to him, trying to stifle her tears. "I d-don't care. I deserve to die."

His expression softened. "Swan. Please, I never meant to hurt you. Don't be afraid of me. Let me save you."

She bit her lip. "Why? I ruined everything. I gave you the darkness. You have every right to hate me."

"I don't hate you."

"WELL YOU SHOULD!" She screamed. Her whole body shaking.

"Swan please let me help you."

She didn't answer. But she could not stop her sobs.

"I won't hurt you swan." His eyes were shining with pain. "Please, I don't want you to die by my hand."

Emma was shaking violently now, and she was beginning to feel more and more faint. "I'm afraid."

"I'm so sorry I hurt you." He looked at her with desperation and so much guilt. "I wasn't thinking, the power. I can't control it.

Black spots appeared on Emma's vision, she dropped to her knees. "Oh gods." She whispered, cradling her head in her hands.

Hook was suddenly beside her. "Let me help you, please love."

Emma swallowed then looked up at him. "Okay."

She had never seen him look so relieved. "Thank you." He reached out to touch her throat, she jumped, pulling away from him.

"It's okay swan. I promise I will be gentle."

Emma swiped tears from her eyes then moved closer to him again."

His cool fingers brushed her throat, gently and with so much care, it made her feel terrible.

"There swan."

She gently brushed her throat, there was no trace of her injury. "Thank you Killian."

He nodded then stood up again, turning away from her. "I'm so sorry, for everything. I can't blame you for making me the Dark one. I would've done the same in your position."

"It's okay."

He didn't answer. Then Emma stood up, and grabbed his shoulder. "Killian, thank you." She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his neck, the familiar smell of leather and sea greeted her.

"Oh Emma." He hugged her so tightly that it made it hard to breath. "I never meant to hurt you."

"I know."

He gently kissed where her injury had been, guilt in his eyes. "I'm so sorry."

He kept clutching her, whispering apologies, his hand in her hair.

Emma saw now, that he needed her more than anything. Without love darkness would fill the space in his heart. "I love you." She whispered. "I love you more than anything in the whole world Killian, don't ever forget that."
