Vlad was speaking in Hook's mind again, low, as if Dracula would be able to overhear.
"See...the demon wants her because..." Hook was already putting it together as well, perhaps because their minds were synched. "He's using the witch....pit them against one another. Save your lover while they squabble."

Hooks eye grew and he reached for Milah, then looked at the devil and his mistress,"No, there has to be another way," As wrong as this felt to him, he couldn't stand the idea of loosing Milah for a second time," I-I can find hearts," he tried," whatever it takes, and a host if needed"
The words seem to just spill from his mouth- even if they went against the few moral codes he upheld, bu he owed Milah his best. He had to believe this time around he could protect her.

Milah's new eyes widened. "Killian?" Of course she new that her lover could pursue a deal to the far limits... but this sounded like a whole NEW level of desperation... To take someone else's heart? That sounded like something that the Dark One would do... not her Captain.
The temptation to live a new life, and to do so with Killian, a second chance, was so desirable it hurt... but what would it cost? She held a hand over her chest, the memory of that sharp pain still very much fresh. She didn't want to feel it again. But it might... if this heart was rejecting her soul.
"I'm coming with you." She said. She would HAVE to talk him out of it. She had to... but if she could only a private moment with to do so...

He wanted to listen to Vlad, he knew it would be easy, but he was so afraid. He'd never show it, to the FULL extent of how he felt, but it was clear he was shaken,"It's a deal then... "
Hook met Dracula's Crimson eyes with his blue,"I'll find the resources you need, for you.... and Elizabeth"

The dark fairy had just finished shooting out her hand and reaching within the pirate to take out the black box with Vlad's soul from Hook's body, when his words finally sunk in.
"Elizabeth?" Maleficent tilted her head, and glared at Dracula,'Why do you need her back, exactly?"

Dracula's eyes danced as he met Hook's, knowing exactly what the pirate was doing. He smirked in appreciation.
"Because, much like our dear Captain..." He began, coming up beside Milah and seizing her, taking in her sent, then stroking the blonde hair of her new body. She let out a gasp, repulsed by his touch. "...My soul needs... coaxing. He could very well reject me with shear will. Elizabeth is the incentive. He will do ANYTHING for her... I assure you..."
He then let go of Milah and sauntered over to Maleficent, slipping an arm around her waist. "And then I will be of flesh again... WITH my power intact... just like we want." He brought his other hand up her side to her jaw. "Isn't that right Goddess..."
He gave a wave to dismiss the pirate and his trollop. "You two have work to do. THREE pure hearts, without sin, one of which should be Henry Mills'." Mal gave him a surprised look. "I thought that would make you might like that, beloved. Kill the son of the woman who entrapped you as a beast for so long..." He kissed the sides of her cheeks.
He could hear the pirate leaving. "Oh and Captain. You may think to flee with your resurrected love... but remember that she is on borrowed time, before her soul withers within that body. And then you will NEVER see her again, neither in this world nor in the next..." He put his arms around his temporary goddess and looked back at Hook with an amused look on his face.

Hook glared at the demon, he knew if they tried to leave it would doom Milah in her weakened state.... not on his life.
"Come on, Love," He whispered," Let's go" Hook had no intention of hurting anyone, and especially not a child. But whatever needed to be done to save his love, it couldn't be done in their presence. Maybe he could plead to the Blue Faerie.... or at last take refugee in their church till he sorted things out.

They headed out the door. Milah glanced behind her as they traveled down the hallway, to make sure that the two demons weren't following them. Killian's hand was around hers, tight... to assure himself of her still being behind him.
"Killian..." She spoke softly. He turned, brows furrowed, concerned that something was wrong. Instead she smirked and pressed her lips to his, pushing him up against the wall behind him. Her hands wandered to his hair, his incredibly messy hair that she loved to finger. He smelled the same, tasted the same... sea salt and adventure... her heart pounded as it always did.
She finally ended her passionate kiss with a slight moan in her throat. "Now... THAT was the kind of reception I looking for, you sea dog." She slid her hands under his coat and around his firm waist. She could read his expression. The tenderness, yet how wrong it felt for him to adore her through another woman's body. "Oh Killian..." She sighed, pleading. "Can't you just close your eyes... PRETEND it's me? Just for a moment. I've waited so long to hold you again..." She ducked her head under his chin, leaning into him as she held her lover.

Hook bit his lip, and ran her fingers through her hair gently, he wanted so badly to give her the love she must have missed while in purgatory, but the circumstances weren't right.
He lifted her chin gently and kissed her, the way she'd longed for him to. Then finally pulled away, pulling her into him,"I want to Love.... And believe me there wasn't a day I didn't think of you in this life...." He sighed and leaned his forehead against hers,"But... you know... what they're asking me to do, I couldn't actually hurt Henry. I'm many things but I... I can't..." He swallowed," I need to find another way..."

"I know. And that's why I love you." She said, giving him a soothing smile, chin pointed out regally, like Milah always did. "We will do what we can... but honestly... I can die again, happy... just for that mere kiss, Killian..." He seemed pained to hear her say that. "Shush... it's alright, beloved..."
He needed some humor to cheer him up. She placed her hands on his front, devious look on her face, as she slid down lower... lower... and lower....
She had a finger hooked into his thick leather belt, arching a brow mischievously, but she reached to his boot with her other hand, withdrawing the long dagger that she knew he often kept there. She tugged on his belt to get herself back up to her own feet.
"What? I just assumed you didn't have another cutlass on you... and I need SOMETHING to defend myself. Honestly, Captain... mind out of the gutter..." She turned with a toss of her hair, hips swaying. Gods, it felt good to be alive... even if it wasn't her body...

Hook grinned at that, the first real, genuine smile he'd sported this evening. He chased after her and wrapped his arms around her to swung her around into a dip, claiming her lips once more. THAT was the Milah he'd missed so much.
Hook brought her back up and removed the hand he'd snaked behind her," We'll find a way... something that'll leave us all happy"

"Who is this?" Emma asked Grahm.
"Someone like you..." He said. Very cryptic... so like Grahm.
"Do you know where my love is?" The young woman asked, raising her head at the two.
Grahm knelt down to the woman's level. "No... he's beyond this realm now. I think you know that..." The young woman teared up again and buried her face in her hands again. "But this is someone who can help. She's from there... torn between our realm and the other."
The woman looked up. Emma didn't know why her heart tugged to see the girl cry. She didn't even know her. But she just had one of those sweet, innocent faces that you never wanted to see contort into sadness. "What's your name?" Emma finally asked, offering a hand to help her up.
"...Elisabeth.." She said, wiping her tears away. She extended a graceful arm to be helped up.
"I'm Emma... Emma-"
"-Swan... yes..." Elisabeth finished, up on her feet now. Emma took a step back.
"..Do we know each other?" The clueless sheriff asked.
"Elisabeth is a special soul, Emma." Grahm explained. "Much like yours... a product of true love. That gives her... special abilities."
Emma shot him a glance. "Special abilities?" She looked back at Elisabeth. "So what... are you like... a witch?"
Elisabeth shook her head. "I never honed my skills as a mortal... I was simply...more attuned to things. I utilized my power for the first time in this place... in saving my beloved from damnation."
Emma looked to Grahm for a translation.
"She took his soul from his body... from here." he explained.
"Wait... FROM HERE? AS A GHOST?" Emma's eyes widened, taking another step back. "What the hell, Grahm..."
"Just hear me out, deputy Swan..." He explained, putting his hands up.
"Oh, don't even think you can pull rank here!" Emma raised her voice. "We're DEAD!"
"YOU'RE NOT." He corrected her. Emma just blinked back at him.

Hook led Milah/Emma down the streets and over to the church. Though the walk.... it had been drawn out, leisurely so. It took The Captain sometime to get use to speaking to Milah through Emma, but it was so clearly Milah's personality, her soul that it didn't take long for Hook to be laughing and teasing his lover again as they had so long ago.
They made it to the steps another half hour later. Hook stalling for time by playing silly, childish games with her; chasing her around, if he caught her he'd throw her over his shoulder a until she promised him a kiss or anything else she'd offer.....
He hardly realized where he was by the time they arrived. He looked up at the building and a sweeping feeling of dread came over him. He took her hand in his, not wanting to go in just yet. he looked at her face, meeting her eyes.... they were Emma's but the way the lit up.... THAT was Milah. He pulled her into him and caressed her cheek in his hand tenderly. But he wouldn't say a word. He just pulled her face close to his so he could place tender kisses along her jaw till he reached her ear and he placed his face in her hair.

This had to be the place... for their blissful walk... -gods, even a WALK with Killian could feel as intimate as love making at this point-... had come to an end. And a gray feeling of dread and sense of 'end' swept over Milah. She turned towards him, her eyes trying to stay cheerful... for him.
He had told her about what had happened to his left hand... but she didn't cower from it. She held on to it because it was a part of him... and she loved him. All of him. With his remaining hand he caressed her cheek. She wanted to say something... anything... but she couldn't, her eyes closed, a single tear escaping as she turned her head to plant loving kisses into the cup of his hand. She rested her cheek upon it once more, opening her eyes to his.
He laid kisses upon her jaw, finding solace in her hair...
"Killian... beloved..." Words just didn't feel right for this moment, but she had to try. She would NOT be robbed of a proper goodbye. Not again... "Most unfortunate souls don't get the second chance we've been given... a chance to say goodbye..." Yet it was the LAST thing she wanted to say. She brought her hand up his shoulder, up the back of his neck, and massaging it through his dark hair. "I count myself a lucky lass for that... so... d-don't remember how it felt to hold me as I... as I died..." Her her voice wavered uncontrollably now. "Remember how if felt... when I... returned to you....Kill-" He consumed her lips, passionately. She gave in willingly, throwing her arms around his neck, pulling him in as tight as humanly possible...

"Okay... what do we do?"
"We don't do anything..." Elisabeth replied. "It's all you..."
Emma turned to Grahm. "I thought you said this girl could HELP us..."
"I have no ties to the living any longer... especially not in your realm. And my beloved is out of my grasp..." She answered softly. "So it comes down to you. You have the ability to pull yourself back to your living body..."
"You sure about that?" Emma asked flatly.
"With all my being. " The young princess replied. "Don't you FEEL it?"
"Uh... no?" Emma shrugged.
"Low self-esteem." Grahm murmured to Elisabeth.
"YOU can just... zip it! You... Ghost... hunter... man... THING!" Grahm only smiled at her insult, laughing as she delivered a punch to his arm.
Elizabeth smiled tenderly, walking up to Emma and taking her hands gently in her own. "You have had a very long... grief-filled journey, Emma Swan. But make no mistake, Princess Emma... you are EXTRAORDINARY." Emma blinked back the wetness forming in her... soul eyes? Hell, she didn't even KNOW this chick... and yet she just believed in her with all her being... on a whim? Emma shook her head looking down. Elisabeth brought her chin up with a gentle hand.
"Sometimes being extraordinary doesn't mean believing that truth... but willing to do extraordinary things for those that you love. Who do you love, Emma?" Elisabeth asked, cocking her head to the side.
Emma closed her eyes... her parents came to mind...
"A child's love is strong..." Elisabeth nodded, eyes closed as she saw into Emma's soul with their hands connected. Henry's face then popped into the mix. "There is NOTHING like a mother's love..." The princess smiled. Another face... dark of hair... broad smile... dark eyes... like the Dark One's... "And true love-"
"NO." Emma said, opening her eyes. "NOT true love. I don't love Neal." She turned towards Grahm, as if he were challenging her. "I. Don't. Love. Neal."
Elisabeth only smiled, letting the falsehood fall to the wayside. "You are so fortunate to have so many to love... and who love you...let that love guide you. RETURN to them, Emma..."
Emma closed her eyes again, forgetting the annoyance of Neal... focusing on him and the rest of her family... she reached out, brushed against them, and their thoughts suddenly turned to her, giving her strength. She groped her way through the haze of so many bodies... until she found hers. She felt that connection towards it... it was HERS.
She went to turn her head... thank Elisabeth and Grahm, but they were gone. **********************************************************
And her eyes opened to Hook tight against her lips, her arms around him and body roused by him. Oh god, she could TASTE him...
And had this been a DREAM of her design... perhaps she would have indulged... out of curiosity. But DAMNIT, this was REALITY.
Emma shoved him back roughly. "WHAT THE HELL, HOOK!" She spat, wiping her wet lips with her jacket sleeve. Her hand immediately flew up to her head; there was another presence in there... shocked and angry at the interruption. The blonde sheriff stumbled back a few steps, clutching her head.
"I'm gone for TWO SECONDS... and you IMMEDIATELY take advantage of me?!" She shouted at him. "You really are an asswipe!!!"
