A Re-write of season 5. (What if) Before Emma could stop Killian back in Camelot. Killian stopped her and successfully casted the Dark Curse. Erasing everyone's memories, including Emma's. But what if there was more behind Killian's craziness. What if there was reason why Killian did everything he did. (Captain Swan)

(Six weeks Later)...Storybrooke...

Emma woke up on the floor of Granny's diner. Neal was resting safely in a basinet next to her. Where the hell did that come from? She knelt down beside him to make sure he was okay. As Snow and Charming came rushing towards her, and picked up their little boy.

Suddenly Sneezy came running in. ''What are you guys doing here?''

''What happened?'' Snow asked, holding her son closely towards her, looking at her daughter. ''we thought you were the Dark One?''

''I am,'' Emma stated, frowning as she suddenly didn't remember anything from the past few days. ''We're back in Storybrooke it might seem. But how?''

''What the hell?'' Emma blinked down at her new white dress. ''what am I wearing?''

''This doesn't make any sense,'' Regina frowned, looking around the diner, to make sure everyone was ok. ''We were just walking into Camelot.''

''What the hell are we wearing?'' Leroy asked, glancing around the room, before fixing his gaze at Sneezy. ''Sneezy what happened? How long were we gone?''

''Six week's.'' Sneezy, replied, sneezing, as Emma and Regina gave him a look, as Henry stood up from the floor.

''What? How is that possible?'' Emma asked, her eyes filled with mixed and confused emotion, as the dwarf stared at her. ''unless...''

''Our memoires...they're gone,'' David whispered, answering Emma's question, as realization dawned on him and Snow.

''Again?'' Snow whispered, her voice low and shallow as if afraid to ask how and when they're memories were taken.

Suddenly Emma noticed someone was missing. ''Where's, Killian?'' She wondered, looking around, as did everyone else.

A cloud of red smoke appeared with Killian in it. ''Relax, Swan.'' He said, his voice low and dangerous, causing everyone to look at him. ''Your Pirate in shining armor is right here.''

Killian was different. His once dark black combed hair, was now unmated and filthy and out of shape. His clothing was the same despite the new sword he held in his grasp. His lips curled into a small snarl.

''Killian?'' Henry asked, staring at his father figure with so much confusion. ''What happened to you?''

''Oh, Lad is it really not obvious?'' Killian asked, his voice dry of emotion. He walked around the room. ''We all went to Camelot to get the darkness out of, Emma.'' Tenderly he placed his hand on Henry's cheek. ''And we failed.''

Suddenly Sneezy sneezed behind him.

Killian turned to look at him, and noticed his old clothes had some how appeared on the little dwarf. ''What the bloody hell are you supposed to be?''

''Ah...'' before he could answer, Killian turned him into stone, with a flick of his wrist, causing Emma to look at him in shock. How did he have magic?

''There's a new villain in this town now,'' He warned, his voice a low growl, as he stepped away from the dwarf, and started straight for Emma.

Before he could reach her, Regina stepped forward. ''Hook, stop. That's enough,'' she warned, as Killian stared at her with challenge in his eyes. Without answering him, Regina used her hand to try to use her magic, But Killian stopped her, freezing her in place.

''Oh, the dagger,'' Killian mocked, giving her a slight bow, before pulling it out with the name Killian Jones engraved on it. Causing Emma's eyes to widen. ''you mean this?''

David stepped forward, his mouth dry. ''You're the Dark One?'' He whispered, as Killian turned to face him, lowering the dagger. ''How we thought Emma was-''

''Taken by the darkness?'' Killian asked, putting his new prized possession away, giving the former prince a smirk. ''oh, then I think you thought wrong, mate.''

Killian walked passed him, and headed straight at a shocked Emma, who looked at him with fear. Quickly Killian turned to face the group. As everyone realized what he was The Dark One.

''Now, for what you all bloody did to me...You're about to be punished.'' he warned, as Emma looked up at him.

''Killian, why are you doing this?'' She whispered, causing Killian to face her face showing no emotion, not even a flicker of hope, as he glared at her. ''What happened back in Camelot to make you this way?''

''Because, Swan,'' He growled, his eyes not even blinking, as he and Emma had a staring contest. ''I'm the bloody Dark One.''

And with a flick of his wrist he was gone. Setting the trapped Queen free, as Emma stared to where he once stood. Swallowing the lump in her throat. As she kept thinking the same question in her head. What happened to the man I loved?
