Maleficent walked around to Emma, running her fingerr nails- or rather talons, lightly across her shoulders,Well darling, we first have to make sure this little procedure will work.... and who better to try it out on then the precious 'Savior'"
Her lips curled into a cruel smirk. She summoned another box- similar to the one she had given Hook then looked to Dracula,"Are you ready, dearest?"

Emma's eyes widened slightly as the dark box was summoned into Maleficent's hands. "Look... I don't know what this is about... but I don't want any part in this oka-" The sorceress had already tapped a talon index finger against her forehead. In an instant her head fell back, lifeless, before Mal finished the dark ceremony. ************************************************************************************ Emma opened her eyes. "Whoa!!!" She cried out, stumbling forward, before taking in her surroundings. "The... hell? " What was this place.... those two spheres, one of fire one of ... pearl? And all these stars... endless stars. ...Which were totally alive, Emma was beginning to realize. She ducked and side-stepped so that non would touch her as they floated by. "Okay, asshole, WHERE AM I? " She yelled up to the endless... void?... above her. "Son of a BITCH!" She wasn't one to give up easily... but this was a crazy. She hugged herself, thinking about Henry and her parents. Would they even be able to find her here? ...Did she want them to? She started walking. Just SOMETHING to do... when she noticed that one of those spheres was following her closely, compared to the others which floated by mindlessly. "Buzz off..." She muttered. But it persisted. She whirled on it. "I said GET LOST!" She swatted at it... but as soon as her hand grazed its warmth, she found herself in a forest. She looked around, feeling hopeless, not enough swearwords in her vocabulary to summarize her frustration. "Hello, Deputy Swan..." Emma froze. She slowly turned to meet the owner of that smooth, enduring voice. Though the leather and fur on his cloak looked alien on him, she recognized him instantly. "...Grahm..." She breathed.

Dracula smiled as Swan's head feel back like a ragdoll's.
"The ceremony requires a pure heart... and while Emma has her sins... surely the heart of the 'Savior' will suffice..." Maleficent went on to shove the black box into the body of Emma Swan. Hook looked clueless. "Oh don't worry, my Captain, I think you will like this little surprise..."

Swan's body began breathing again, startled... blinking at Maleficent and Dracula as if she didn't know them. Her blue eyes scanned the strangeness of the room that they were in, until they rested on Hook. Her eyes softened with tenderness, eyes almost glistening with breathless joy.
"Killian..." She said, almost inaudibly. "Killian, my love..." She tried to start towards him, but found that she was bound to the chair. She looked down at her hands... and didn't recognize them. She looked back at her lover. "Killian...?"

Hook's eyes grew, practically falling to his knees hearing that same tone she had used. It was her, it HAD to be her. He went over to her, quickly working the bonds that held her- a difficult task with only one hand, but he'd have chewed them off with his teeth if he had to.
"Milah! Oh gods..." He looked up at her once her hands were released,"Is it... is it really you?" he touched her face- or rather Emma's face gently, His hand trembling as he did so

Milah forgot her worry for a moment... it had been so long since she had seen her lover. She turned her face towards his hand as he caressed her, kissing him. Once her hands where free, she groped for his other hand, only to find a steel hook. She gasped at it's sharpness and threw her arms around his neck.
"What has he done to you, Killian?" She murmured, sure that the Dark One had something to do with that maimed arm. Although she listened for an answer, she couldn't help but kiss his neck, his jaw, finding his lips. Giving an incredulous laugh as she went for his mouth; she couldn't believe this was happening. She had waited for him so long... and now here they were together again, back in the land of the living. It had felt like an eternity had gone by, alone by herself.
He still tasted of seasalt and fresh air... but... he wasn't as fervent in kissing her back. He almost seemed hesitant. Milah pulled back. "Killian? What's wrong? Why don't you hold me?"

He stared into her eyes, torn. It was her on the inside, but it wasn't her body.... and if Milah was here, Emma probably disappeared into that abyss.... and even with Milah back he couldn't shake the guilt.
Hook wrapped his arms around her and held her tight,"Milah..... Love, Gods only know how badly I've missed you.... but.." he bit his lip, how could he explain this to her? he looked over to the window and gave a nod- shakily," look"

"Grahm..." Emma repeated. Her eyes started tearing; she felt like she was going to throw up. "Am... am I de- oh my god..." She crouched low, trying to breath.
"No... not yet." Grahm said, he was at her side, lifting her chin up to meet his gaze. "Time is of the essence if we are to keep it that way, Deputy." He was no longer wearing the cloak or leather getup, but his vest suit and leather jacket. How she remembered him.
"I'm..." She didn't know what to say... accept the one thing that wanted to spill out. Something she had kept inside for awhile. "I'm so sorry Grahm."

Vlad couldn't help but surface out of Hook's subconscious ever so slightly. While Hook's attention was completely on Emma... or Milah... Vlad watched his demonic counterpart watch the woman so carefully... something sinister dancing behind his eyes.
The princes then considered Emma's body... older... but about the right height... with long blonde hair and blue eyes...
"I don't think Milah will be in that body long, pirate..." Vlad told Hook. "Something more devious is afoot..."

Milah approached the window hesitantly. She didn't recognize the face... or ANYTHING about the body that she now seemed to possess.
"This... obviously doesn't belong to me..." She breathed, shocked. She then collected herself and looked over at the man watching her like she was some rich feast. She held her head up in the regal way she always did, even though she was of the lowest of classes. "Am I allowed to inquire as to how and WHY this has been done? Or am I not privy to such information?"

It was so difficult... so bizarre even to him. And Vlads pressing thoughts weren't exactly making it easier to sort out- even if he was right
"Your soul was... transferred from purgatory to a... a different host," He started, he glanced back to Dracula and Maleficent," I honestly....it wasn't my idea- not that I'm not thrilled to hear you speak again, to have you here-"

"-But this was no more than a test," Maleficent finished," we wanted to make sure nothing would go wrong before we attempted this again on someone who mattered"
Hook shot a murderous glance at her, one that made her smirk, she then turned to her ark Prince,"Well, are you satisfied?"

"And here I thought you had brought me back cause you MISSED me. Silly me." Milah said flatly, though she gave Hook a wink. She turned her attention back to Mal. "Someone who MATTERED? And who would that be-"
Milah grabbed at her chest, hand over her... the body's... heart. She gasped, looking up at the two. "You two have no idea what your dealing with... tampering with forces that are BEYOND you..."
She gave Hook a tender expression. If only she could spend more time with him. Just one night... one night to comfort her in her eternal purgatory...

"Oh, we know EXACTLY what we are dealing with... and it would seem that the savior's heart is not clean enough to support your soul." Dracula replied. "It would take a pure heart... one without sin... to support any soul other then it's own. Let alone one as corrupt as yours." He hissed into his Milah's ear.
He straightened up to address Maleficent. "Yes. Satisfied indeed..." Male looked about ready to rip out Emma's heart. "Perhaps.... we should keep her intact, the way she is now... see what happens when the heart cannot support the soul...for educational purposes." The body may not have long... but it would be long enough to summon Eilsabeth's soul after obtaining two pure hearts; one for himself... and one for his lover. Now... how to get his Goddess on board with the idea...

Emma clutched at her heart... or where her heart WOULD be if this wasn't all some meta projection of herself talking to Grahm's soul.
...This was so freaked up.
She nearly fell, groaning, but the huntsman caught her, easing her down to the lush forest floor. Emma blinked at his gallantry. He was always like that.
"You need to return, SOON. Before it's too late, Emma." He murmured, holding the side of her face. "And there is no need to apologize." He brought his forehead against hers. "You freed me..."
"Yeah, but I killed you in the process-" She choked out, before Grahm pressed his lips against hers. It was just like she remembered... his smooth lips, stubble, tender hands supporting her head...like she was something so precious to him. Their lips parted.
Her eyes were glittering, but she held it together. "We... we could have..." She let the thought die. Maybe it was cliche to think it, but her soul had been so attuned to his. Maybe because of how closely their fates were entwined.
"I know..." He said, giving her a weak smile. "Not a moment goes by without wondering if I had lived... perhaps..." His words failed him as well.
"Yeah. Perhaps." Emma smiled, trying to keep her lips from trembling. When Another crushing pain came to her chest. "Ugh..."
"Emma!" Gram held her tighter. "We have to get you back."
"How...?"
The huntsmen thought for a moment. "Follow me." He helped Emma to her fee and took her hand. He led her out of the forest and into a large field of wild flowers. There was a woman, with golden hair, weeping into her hands...
