Lesser of Three Evils (Dark One!Snow AU)| igotyouakeychain & break-it-emma
Even after getting back to Storybrooke Snow wasn't sure that they could save Mr. Gold, what's worse is Cora and Regina were coming. Emma was out in the shop with David and Snow was in the back with Neal making sure Mr. Gold was comfortable.
"There has to be something we can do... some way..." She looked toward one of the locked cabinets.
A soft chuckle breathed from Mr. Gold and he shook his head. "Well you could kill Cora first."
"That won't save you." She countered glancing toward Neal then back to Gold.
"Well there's the candle." He nodded toward the cabinet where she'd found the candle earlier.
Snow knew what it was, she'd seen it as a girl and could have used it to save her mother... but she didn't. The idea of using it now to save Mr. Gold left the same sick feeling in her stomach. Even if she traded Cora's life... despite what she'd done David was right. She couldn't act out of vengeance no matter how much she wanted to. "No." The word was thick as it left her.
"Then you could kill me yourself and keep Cora from getting my power."
