I have a feeling Nimue regretted becoming the Dark One and had someone stab her to free her without knowing her spirit would live on merged with the Darkness. I also think the part of the spirit that remains attached to the Dark One is just the darkness within them, while their goodness does die with their body. That would explain why she is fully evil when she appears to Emma and Hook.
