Ok so this once shot is about Emma's internal struggle with the darkness. The lyrics I am using are from the song Home from Beauty and the Beast: The Musical. I changed a couple of the lyrics to suit this better, so all rights belong to the writers of this song. The bold letters are the dark spirit and the unbolded letters are Emma.

Yes, I made this choice.
For my town I will stay.
But I don't deserve to lose my freedom in this way, you monster.
If you think that what you've done is right, well then,
You're a fool.
Think again.
This is home.
This is where you should learn to be happy.
Never dreamed that a home could be dark and cold.
I was told every day in my childhood, even when we grow old,
Home should be where the heart is.
Never were words so true
My heart's far, far away.
Home is too.
This is home.
This is what you should learn to believe in.
Try to find something good in this tragic place.
Just because you will stay here forever.
Held in this empty space.
Oh but that won't be easy.
I know the reason why.
My heart's far, far away.
Home's a lie.
What I'd give to return to the life that I was living.
And to think you complained of that dull, provincial town.
This is home.
Am I here for a day or forever?
Shut away from the world until who knows when.
Oh but then, as your life has been altered once, it can change again.
I'll build higher walls around you.
I'll change every lock and key.
Nothing lasts.
Nothing holds all of me.
But for now, you will stay here with me.
