Summary: This takes place after the rescue of Henry. As the crew is trying to find Neal as their next mission, they are thrown into another adventure. Only this time it is an adventure through time as they have to try and save the Savior by living her memory; based on the song Hands of Time by Rachel Diggs.

Hands of Time

Life is a carousel
And dancing 'round the mirrors we go up and down
So let the music take away the hurt you've come to
Know so well
Let it go cuz

You can't turn back the hands of time
Just let it go and you'll be fine
What's done is done and it's alright
You can't turn back the hands of time

It was twilight as the Jolly Roger sailed through the open ocean of the Never-Sea. The air was crisp and cold as the ship sailed away from the island. Henry was safe and chatting animatedly to Regina, Snow, David, and Gold below deck about the different people he met that helped with his escape. They had managed to destroy Pan and his army of Lost Ones, along with Greg and Tamara with the help of the Lost Boys (which Emma learned was not the same as the boys she had read and seen in the Disney version), the fairies, the Indians, and finally the mermaids. Their next trek was searching for Neal, but they had to get out of Neverland first and Hook had wanted to sail as far away from the island as possible before throwing the bean out into the sea.

Emma sighed as she went above deck. As ecstatic as she was to have Henry back, she felt the familiar sense of suffocation; that and her mind was still replaying those moments from the time they went through the portal to get to Neverland and to the trainings she had taken on with Gold and Regina to train her with her magic along with her father and Hook teach her about swordsmanship. Thinking back on her trainings, she felt the sense of pride that she had also been able to integrate her magic abilities along with the sword fighting.

Then her mind went to the seemingly never ending searches on the islands looking for the boy that was just below her at this very moment. She lifted her head up and inhaled the salty air. She could not believe that they had finally managed to find him…he was slightly bruised and his clothes were tattered, but overall he was fine and alive. That was all that mattered to her…he was alive.

Hook was at the helm and was watching the blonde closely. He had found it odd that she was not below deck with everyone else who was relishing in the safety of the boy. He was tempted to join her at her side and ask if she was ok when he noticed that the sky went from the colors of pinks and reds to a sudden pitch black. The warm temperature dropped to a sudden chill as the winds and tides started to pick up. Before he could call out a warning there was a sudden jerk in the wheel as he was thrown sideways and the ship took a sudden turn.

"What the hell?!" Emma shouted over the roar of the wind just as Regina, David, Snow, and Gold came to the deck with Henry following behind them to see what was happening.

Hook got up and tried to regain control of the wheel when he saw his passengers on the deck by Emma, "Everyone below deck-" He did not even get to finish when there was another wave that hit the boat, "Bloody Hell!" Hook cursed out as he regained his footing and then that was when he saw the sky once more as lightning and thunder cracked through the sky. He backed away from the wheel and raced down on to the deck, "Everyone below the deck now!"

"Hook what-" David was suddenly frozen as his eyes too caught the sky,

Everyone now looked up. Forms of shadowy creatures floated above the sky, "He is coming back for me!" Henry said panicking turning to Snow, who hugged him close as Regina and Emma were too stunned to move.

"This is not possible!" Gold yelled over the roar of the wind and fighting the chills that he was suddenly getting, "We defeated him!"

"This is not Pan!" Hook yelled, "This is something else entirely…"

"What-?" Regina started to ask as she was cutoff, "There is no time we have to get inside!" Hook yelled back trying to get them to understand.

They started to move as the ship took a beating once again throwing them off guard, and the sudden impact caused them to fall to the ground as water spread everywhere making the deck slippery, "Make sure to keep thinking happy thoughts!" Hook yelled as he tried to get back up along with everyone else.

Emma barely heard him as she started to hear a low humming in her ear. Her vision started to become blurry as her insides started to become cold. You are worthless, the voice she thought she would never have to hear again said, you were born alone, you will remain alone, and you will die alone. "No," she breathed out as she stopped moving toward the door. Then more voices started to come to her and they became louder in her mind that she tried to cover her ears, "SHUT UP!" Emma suddenly yelled.

Hook, Regina, Gold, Snow, Henry, and David turned to see Emma on her knees clutching her head, "EMMA!" Snow and David yelled.

"MOM!" Henry yelled trying to run over to her, but he was being held back by Regina.

Hook could feel the coldness and slight voices coming to him, "Come on!"

Gold tried to summon a shield around them, but he found that his magic was not working as he too began to feel cold. Regina was finding that her hold on Henry was starting to weaken as he kept trying to fight against her. She could hear Daniel's voice in her head and her mother's voice as well. Snow and David had gone over to Emma, but they too were starting to feel cold, "Emma sweet heart come on!" Snow yelled fighting against the coldness and the emptiness that was starting to engulf her.

"Emma please it is ok," David said as he too felt the numbness taking hold.

Emma was shaking now. The voices were growing stronger and the coldness started to take it's hold. Images started to flash before her eyes and memories that she had thought she buried started to resurface; not being able to take the pain, the coldness, and the voice anymore she made on final act of desperation she yelled, "STOP IT!" Then she shook out of Snow and David's embrace and pounded her fists on the deck of the ship. In that moment there was a flash of bright light and everyone covered their eyes as the bright light engulfed the ship and the surrounding area.

Once the light dimmed the sky returned to its original color of pinks and reds. The ocean was once again calm as well as the winds. There was absolutely no sign of the sudden storm except for one Emma Swan, who was unconscious and alone on the deck of the Jolly Roger.

Just let it go and you'll be fine
What's done is done and it's alright
You can't turn back the hands of time
