It was quiet; nobody could believe that anything of what just happened was real. Snow took the first step heading to the dagger - which had her daughter´s name written on it now – and she just stood there facing it when Regina came closer and took it. They faced it and then each other for a while, was that really happening? Everything they both tried to avoid had just become reality, Emma was the dark one. Hook came running, looking confused.

Hook: So, what now? You guys are not doing anything! Why aren´t you doing anything?!

Regina: Hey, calm down ok? Freaking out is not going to solve this problem.

Snow: Let's take this home until we figure out what to do.

The idea seemed pretty lame but that was actually the best move. David and Henry, observing the whole situation, decided that they should try to find Merlin before it was too late.

Snow, Regina and Hook were at home now, with the dagger, clueless.

Snow: Should we summon her?

Regina: NO! I mean… Emma… She is not herself anymore… She is the dark one! We don´t know what might happen.

Hook: Well… she will come looking for it at some point.

Regina: I´ll keep it… I know a safe place.

Snow: What do you mean you´re keeping it? What if Hook is right? What if she comes back?

Regina: That´s exactly why I should keep it. If there is anyone in this room who knows best about being evil, that person is me. No offense.

Everybody went quiet after Regina´s statement… Indeed it was true. She kept the dagger and hid it in her crypt over the cemetery.

Everybody was back at their homes now, trying to sleep after this mess. However, Regina had the worst guilty feelings, she could not stop thinking that it was all her fault: Emma was the dark one and it is all because of her… At least that was how she felt.

Regina was in her bedroom when somebody knocked on the front door. She came downstairs to see who that was. It was Robin. It´s not that she didn´t like him, just that right now she really didn´t want to deal with him.

Regina: Go away, Robin.

Regina tried to close the door before he started all that melodrama of "let me take care of you" she knew he would do.

Robin: Regina, wait!

Regina: What.

Robin: Don´t you want to talk to someone?

Regina: If that "someone" means you then no, I´m sorry. I just really want to be alone right now, unless you are here to tell me that Emma is back safe and sound.

Robin: I´m sorry… I was worried about you.

Regina: I´m fine. But thanks for coming over. I´ll go back to bed now. Bye.

Robin: Bye.

Regina knew she was being rude with Robin, but she couldn´t help it. She knew he was just worried and she actually felt sorry for having to kick him out like this, but somehow Emma´s disappearance had managed to take over her mind and spirit. All that she wanted right now was to see that stupid blonde hair again… Not the man that impregnated her sister.

Regina was falling asleep when Henry came running into her room apparently excited about something.

Henry: Mom! Mom! I´ve found something!

Regina was so tired but, well… She always had time for her son.

Regina: Oh honey, I thought you were asleep. What is it?

Regina sat on the bed with Henry so that they could talk.

Henry: I think I might have found a clue to where Merlin is.

Regina: What?

Henry: Listen, when mom, Emma, disappeared, Grandpa and I decided that we should try to find Merlin - since he is the only one that can defeat darkness - but the truth is we had no clue of where he might be and the apprentice… well… you know.

Regina: I´m listening…

Henry: So I went to that library I found at the author's house…

Regina: You what?! You went there alone?! Henry!

Henry: Mom, relax! I´m ok! Anyway, I went there and I found this book.

Henry showed Regina a book that looked exactly the same as the one he had.

Regina: Henry, love we both know there is nothing written on those books.

Henry: Yeah, except that this one has.

Regina had no reaction; she was absolutely impressed with Henry´s discovery.

Noticing that his mom wouldn´t say anything, Henry continued.

Henry: It´s about this boy named Arthur, who became the King of England thanks to this sorcerer, Merlin. Can´t you see mom? This is the very first clue to where Merlin is! We need to go to London!
