"Killian!"
"Killian!"
Aurelia sighed, as she walked through the field of middlemist flowers. Holding out her hand she brought out Excalibur. "Dark One, I summon thee," she said and in an instant, Killian appeared in front of her.
"I'm sorry. Don't be mad but I didn't know how else to get you here" she said.
"You could've given me a choice," he said.
"I just wanted to apologize," she told him.
"Do you have any idea how it feels to not be in control of yourself? The last time a Dark One controlled me, I had to watch as Rumplestilskin almost killed you. I had to kneel, powerless, while he almsot crushed my heart!" he shouted.
"Of course I know that how feels! I've never been in control of my life, not once! Not since the moment I was born. My life was sold to Pan so my mother could live, I've been hunted for my powers more times than I'd like, and don't forget that I had to sit and watch while Gothel nearly killed you and I couldn't do anything! I was about to lose you again and I couldn't do that!" she shouted.
"That doens't make this fair," he said, turning to leave.
"Killian, wait!" Aurelia said, sighing when he came to a halt, the sword she was still holding forcing him to listen. "I didn't mean to do that."
"Aye, but you did. And that's my point!" he shouted.
"I didn't call you here to fight! I do believe in you and I'm sorry for making you think I didn't. Of course, I trust you to be in control of yourself" she said, holding out the sword. "Take it. I'm sorry for lying to you, I should've given it to you as soon as I found you."
"But I know that we can do this," she said as he took the sword from her. "I know we can get the darkness out of both of us because I love you."
She held out her hand for him to take and looked at him curiously when he took it but didn't say anything.
"What? Please say something" she begged. Tugging on her arm, he pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist.
"I love you, too."

When the two of them made their way back to Granny's, Mary Margaret, David, Regina, and Emma were outside waiting for them.
"There you are. We've looked everywhere for you" Regina said, taken aback by Aurelia's new appearance.
"Lia. What happened to you? Are you okay?" David asked.
"Um, yeah. It looks worse than it is" she said, twirling a strand of her black hair around her finger.
