                                                     Hook POV 

I opened a compass that had a Picture of Kaia in it, it was just before we were separated it was hand drawn, 

"Is that her?" Regina asked 

"Aye," I said closing the compass and putting it back under my vest,

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

"Oh, I know, my hot-headed . 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..." I said 

 "What irony?" She asked 


 "Oh, I spent more time than I care to remember trying to leave this place to kill the crocodile . 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." I said  

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


"I hope not, or we've wasted our lives." I said 
(The camera follows my gaze as I looked over at Emma, standing along the ships railing, gazing out at the sea. Mary Margaret and David approach her.)


(Speaking off-screen)

"No, you won't." Gold said 

 (Everyone turns to see Mr. Gold standing at the helm garbed in his old Rumplestiltskin outfit.)

"(sarcastic) Oh, that's a great use of our time—a wardrobe change." I said 

"I'm gonna get Henry." Gold said 

"We agreed to do this together." Regina said 

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

"Why are you doing this?" Emma asked 

"Because I wanna succeed." Gold said 

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

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

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

"Only what was shown to you. 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." Gold said 

" I'll do whatever it takes." Emma said 

 "Well, you just need someone to tell you what that is. Sorry, dearie, our foe is too fearsome for hand-holding. Neverland is a place where imagination runs wild. And, sadly, yours doesn't." Gold said 

 (He spins his cane, which falls to the deck. In the next second, Mr. Gold is gone from the ship and only his cane remains.)

 (Emma continues to do pull-ups and after a while, she stands back down. I enter the room.) 

"Oh. Don't stop on my account." I said 

"Wouldn't think of it." She said  (She continues to do pull-ups as Hook walks closer to her.)

" What are you doing?" I asked 

 "Getting ready for a fight." She said  (Emma stands back down on to the platform.)

"Well, I've never known you to need to get ready for a fight. I thought it was a natural state. Don't let Rumplestiltskin get you down, love." I said 

 (Emma jumps down on to the floor.) "What do you want?" She asked 

"To give you something" I said . (I get a key out and walk over to a locked chest. I unlock it.)

 "You know, Baelfire and I once spent a lot of time together." I said 

" He was always Neal to me." Emma said 

"Yeah. Right." I said  (I grabs a sword from the table and bring it to Emma.) 

"This was his." I said 

(Emma grabs the sword.)

"I didn't realize you were sentimental." She said 

"I'm not. I just thought you could use it where we're going. You know, to fight." I said 

 (I give Emma a shot glass. I uncork the flask and pour rum in her glass.)

 "Thanks." She said 

" To Neal." I said 

"To Neal."She said 

 (We clink Our glasses and drink the rum.)


                                            Kaia POV 


I watched as the ship started to sail in the mermaid infested waters, I just hope he makes it here okay, 

Tink was now standing next to me, 

"Visitors?" She said surprised, 

I nodded, 

"They are coming for him," I said 

The wind blew as my cloak flapped in the wind, 

"Who are they?" She asked 

"I recognize the ship," I said sadly 

"How?" She asked 

"Because, I grew up on it," I said
