Hook continued to hack away at branches, but he couldn't really keep up with all the chaos; Else and Celeste were yelling something to each other- something about a word- there was a large beast covered in blades running about, he had no clue where 'demon Celeste' was at this point and as he was trying to gather his senses the branchs seemed to work faster and faster twisting up his legs and eventually one had wrapped itself around his neck.
It tightened and brought the Captain to his knees, one of the few times he actually didn't want to be there. The sword was twisted away from his hand and Hook could hardly breath. He looked desperately at Celeste, but nothing audible could be heard from his throat.

Yes just what she needed, being yelled at by a pissy queen, Celeste had pretty much a chunk bitten out of her shoulder and it was covered in the acid that was breath on it, it was eating away her flesh around the wound, but she gritted her teeth and fount back the unimaginable pain, she knew how to fight pain, she felt it almost everyday and she had to fight it, hook was being strangled to death… and he was looking at her for help… why did she always feel the need to help even those who didn’t deserve it? Cally moved as quickly as se could to where he was, holding her mutilated shoulder, what she was about to do was going to take a hole lot out of her and it would take all the heeling power se she wouldn’t even be able to heal herself, Celeste put her hand up n the air and a bright glowing dome went over the three of them, everything inside the dome that was covered in the darkness screeched and immediately receded out of the bright almost blinding light, the branches stopped going after Else and let go of hook, everything inside the dome looked normal, but everything else outside wanted desperately to get to them. Celeste herself was glowing a bright dazzling white, so bright that to look strait at her would almost be blinding, she was keeping the darkness at bay but it was also sucking away her energy so she had no idea how long she could make this last.

As he was released from the grip of the psychotic vines, he gasped and took a deep breath, the closest 'Thank you' he could manage was," About damn time"
he looked over at Celeste and Else, and then the dome that was protecting them. He started to put it together that the dome was protecting them(probably Celestes doing) but took a great deal of energy. The best thing would be to remember that 'deactivation word'.
He stood clumsily and rubbed his neck, everything hurt, but like any other day he had to keep going,"Now would be an excellent to remember that word, love"

Else kicked a now lifeless branch off to the side. She stood, panting in exhausting, but poised ready for round two. The bladed whip was growing on her...
She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Hook's request. She had only been 'requesting' that for the past twenty minutes straight. At least the darkness was held at bay. But for how long? She stood, ready to fight again.

For a few minutes all that happened was the voices and watchful eyes, monstrous creatures circling around the dome and plant life hitting and then screeching from the light, Celeste was doing all she could to try and remember the word… and for a slit second she thought she had it…. “INNER-IMAGE!?” But nothing happened, she gowned in pain and annoyance and anger, her now white hair blew around her along with her clothing, blood dripped onto the ground at her feet, soon a small bloody pool came there, then suddenly… “Killian My love, where are you?” came a very familuer female voice from somewhere inside the darkness. Celeste froze in shock, she knew that voice… she looked to hook, this was very bad…..

Hook blinked, the womans voice...
"Milah....?" Hook turned and squinted his eyes to better peer into the darkness," ..no... Milah... I-is that..."
He stepped toward the edge of the dome as a woman with dark swaying hair approached, her lips smiled weakly as she tried so reach out t him from he other side, but recoiled as the light burned her fingertips

Else watched the scene before her. Milah... that is what Hook had called Else when he was delusional.
She started putting the pieces together. That's why he was here... in Neverland... trying to forget. Milah was dead. And he had loved her very much.
Else grabbed Hook's arm. "Captain Jones... KILLIAN." She said firmly. "That is NOT her. You know that. Milah is-"
She stopped mid-sentence. Over to the side, a little distance from Milah's form, was a child. Couldn't be more then three... with bright blonde hair, like his father's, and dark dancing eyes like his mother's. Else forgot what she was saying to Hook and dropped the whip that had been in her hands, tears threatening to flood her eyes.

He remained silent, it was her hair, her eyes her full lips, beckoning for him to come and follow her.
The pirate knew this wasn't really her, no one could ever match the true Milah. However seeing her here, those eyes looking at him with such a great emptiness and longing...
Would it be so bad to die?
Milah, the real Milah, would be waiting for him with open arms. This may only be a shadow of her perfection but it didn't stop him from feeling the pang of sadness in his chest.
He stepped closer to the edge extending his hand out to her...

“Killian… why… why did you leave me..? Why dd-did you let him kill me… I th-thought you love me? I loved you…” the ghostly Milah whimpered to hook, at first she looked like the perfect image of Milah but then her form faltered and she looked to be wet and there was a hole where her heart use to be. The dark horrifying demon like mirror image of Celeste moved towards them from the darkness, she seemed to glide across the dark ground, she stopped at the child’s form and picked him up in her arms, she smiled a sharp toothy grin and the boy smiled back up at her then unexpectedly the boy flickered in and out of looking perfectly normal to looking like a skeleton. “Mommy… I want my mommy…” he reached his arms out to Else while the evil Celeste held onto him. “Don’t you want your son Else?” she asked her and then she looked to hook. “She misses you go to your pirate lass” “DO NOT LEAVE THE DOME! I CANNOT PROTECTUE IF YOU LEAVE! If you leave you will not just die your soul will be forever chained to the darkness, you will NO GO TO YU LOVED ONCE! What you see is NO them!” Celeste yelled to the two who were engulfed in the sight of their lost loved ones.

Else couldn't look away... a child so perfect, picked up by that MONSTER... TAUNTING Else. The child she would never know.
But even though the mirage had COMPLETELY reopened the unfathomable wound in her heart with a razor edge, the Queen... with tears streaming... tore away from her trance. She forcefully seized Hook from behind and heeled a boot to the back of his knee, forcing him to collapse, maneuvering him away from the dome edge the best she could.
She scrambled to retrieve his sword and and threw it at the monster holding... yet NOT holding... her son. She turned away, crying out as the sword pierced both.

Hook watched in shock, he wanted to die.... there was nothing left for him.... why even try?
He couldn't even find the strength to stand, to move, to cry out....
He sank into the ground on all fours,"Milah... I-I can't... I'm sorry..."

The sword wet through the two of them and the boy cried and turned fully into a skeleton, evil Celeste just looked at Else with an unammused look on her face and then she pulled out the sword so she as no longer connected to the child by it and then dropped the skeletal boy to the ground with a plop, it bounced a little… at the same time Milah wailed in sorrow and crouched down into a feeble position and then just before she fell apart into dist she said “you don’t care…” The evil Celeste leaned on the sword like it was a cane and smiled at the three of them, the real Celeste was glad that Else was strong enough to fight back, Hook was having a very hard time… she would of felt bad for him… if he wasn’t such a dick. “You really shouldn’t make this so hard on your selves, I tell you what children, come to me and I’ll give everything that you want, I know you want to go home Else dear, I can do that, right now if you want, I can even solve your little… problem hunny.” She patted her own stomach and tilted her head at her before setting her eyes on Hook. “I can give you power to take care of that crocodile and then you can get your revenge you have been waiting for 300 hundred years” “Shut your mouth!” Celeste screamed at herself. “If you don’t wont power, what about going back in time to when Rumplestiltskin was a cowardly man… before he killed your beloved… and just kill him then so nothing he ever does ever happens?” she gave them both a devilish gin then.

He watched the other Milah fall to the ground, no, the real Milah... she would know he cared... right? Thoughts rang through his head, the same ones he was always trying to escape; it should have been him.
He looked to the demon, her words couldn't be trusted... but if... if she was telling the truth.... even if it cost his soul, his life, at least the debt would be repaid wouldn't it?
Celeste was yelling more words again and Else was sobbing, he couldn't think straight in the chaos....
Hook got to his feet and approached Milah, who looked up at him and stood to meet him with a smile. At that moment Hook took a small knife and thrust it into Milah's chest from within the dome," You aren't Milah, you could never be Milah," He looked at the demon," What is done can't be changed, you offer nothing but false promises witch"
he pulled the false Milah into the dome and watched her fade away in his arms.

Else had shut down to the world around her. Her shaking hands were knotted in her light brown hair as she laid on her side, facing away from temptation.
She knew that it was a trap... that the demon would say ANYTHING to get one of them out of the dome...but how attractive it all sounded...
The Queen coiled tighter into herself. She just wanted to be far away from this dreadful place. To stop having her damning failure flung at her. To stop thinking... to just be held and protected by someone.

“Oh your right, I do promise fouls promises” the evil Celeste chuckled. She swung the sword around in a circle as she walked from side to side. “But she doest” she pointed the sword at the real Celeste. “She could do all that I just said, but of course she wouldn’t because it would cause a paradox and she would ‘ever’ do something that would lead to one of those, even if it would fix everyone problems if she just went back and killed that man before he was cursed” “even if I didn’t take paradoxes into consideration I wouldn’t go back and kill a scared helpless man, I would just make sure he never ran across the damn dark one” or the dagger for that matter but she left that part out. Celeste was really struggling with keeping the barrier up now… she didn’t know how much longer she could do this… she had to think… she thought she had the word that one time but it didn’t work… what was the problem? God her shoulder hurt…. No stay focus, she could rest after, wait…. Wait! The man that picked to word wasn’t English! He spoke it but it wasn’t his native language… god damn translator, translating everything with out letting me know its going it… now what was the word in Russian?
