The Light and The Dark
Trapped in the Infinite Forest as a swan, Emma has one chance to turn back into a human and save her parents from the Evil Queen’s curse: delivering the newly freed brothers Jones to the Blind Witch. (Thank you to the lovely and wonderful @spartanguard for betaing! <3)
There was a chill in the air that had Emma on edge. The four of them plus Tink’s dog, John, set off to find the Dark One around noon, and ever since then she has had a bad feeling about their plan, but what else could they do other than attacking all at once? Hopefully, that was the key. They spent the morning preparing themselves both mentally and physically for the Dark One, but something still made her uneasy.
Killian—thankfully—slept through the night and seemed much more alert. His colour was better as well, letting them all breathe a sigh of relief. The three of them put all of their supplies in order as Emma tried to help when she could. There were seven more bottles of potion for Killian to bring with him. Liam helped a begrudging Killian quickly get dressed in his newly cleaned vest and jacket after they changed the bandage on his arm. The blood stains were still there, just faded.
Killian had been in a sour mood himself ever since. Emma flew near him as they trekked to find a good spot to challenge the Dark One. He looked nervous with tense shoulders, eyebrows drawn close together, and he kept fussing with his clothes and sling. But as Emma observed him, she thought he looked not only nervous, but uncomfortable as well.
“Hey, you are okay?” Emma asked cautiously.
