" I thought you said you could outrun any storm!", Emma yells over the strong winds and the powerful waves. Only moments before, Regina had turned the captured mermaid into wood and now the group was battling a horrific storm.
" This isn't a storm...it's bloody damnation!", Hook replied helping Emma to keep the wheel steady as the waves rock the Jolly Roger violently side to side.
"Why did you do this?!", Snow yells angrily over the raging storm.
"You're going to blame me?", Regina shouts back incredulously.
"You turned the mermaid into wood!"
"At least I did something about her, which is more than what you can say!", Regina answers quickly growing tired of Snow's accusations.
"Undo your spell. Bring back the Mermaid!", Snow replies completely fed up with Regina using magic to solve her problems.
"And what? You'll win her over with your rainbow kisses and unicorn stickers!?"
"Considering your plan failed, we could at least try!"
Regina sneers," You're such a naive princess."
" And you're such a bitch!", Snow yells as she throws a pitiful punch to Regina's jaw
"Hey!", David yells as he leaves his post to try and break up the fight. Before David can reach the two women, Hook grabs his shoulder. "Let the slags fight. I need you at the mast!". David, unable to control his abrupt hatred for the pirate, suddenly becomes enraged.
"Don't call my wife a slag!", He shout before he elbows Hook in the stomach.
Emma struggled as she tried to single-handedly control the ship. As everyone else continued to fight; the waves got rougher, the wind got stronger, and the rain poured harder. Emma began to realize what was happening. "It's not the mermaid, it's us."
"Hey guys-", she yelled while wrestling with the ship's wheel,"-If you guys don't stop fighting we're all gonna die!", Emma's feeble attempts were ignored as Regina, Snow, David, and Hook continued fighting relentlessly.
After a few more tries Emma finally gives up, hauling herself unto the railing of the ship, grabbing some rope to keep her steady. " You need to stop!", Emma yells once more still failing to be noticed by the quarreling group. Emma, frantically thinking of a way to break up the fight, is then hit by a hook that came loose causing her to lose consciousness and fall into the ocean.
"Emma NO!", Snow immediately stops fighting with Regina and rushes to the railing only to find that Emma has gone under. David and Hook pause their dispute when they heard Mary Margret's cries and saw that Emma was nowhere to be found. The duo rush to the railing hopelessly looking for the blonde. But the one filled with the most panic was Regina.
Her only thought was to find a way to get Emma, but her mind went blank. Regina couldn't understand why she felt like this. If anything she should be happy, Henry would finally be hers, but he would be devastated to find that Emma was gone.
"Regina do something!", Snow screams desperately
"I can't! Not in this storm, I can't even see her! I'll just bring up water and half her leg," Regina explains, fearing the worst.
David climbs on to the railing to go after her," Wait!", Hook yells.
"She'll drown!"
"So will you. Here, let me help.", Hook says as he hands David some rope. David wraps the rope around his waist and dives into the ocean. A few minutes later Hook, Snow, and Regina feel a sharp tug on the line and begin to pull, only to see David came back empty-handed.
"What happened?" asked Snow with panic laced into her voiced
Regina begins to fill with dread.
"The water...it was too dark. I couldn't see anything," David says mournfully."No...NO! You have to go back, you have to save her!", Snow demands hysterically.
"There's no point-", Hook says solemnly,"-Even if he finds the lass, she would be dead."
"No...my baby.", Snow collapses into David's arms sobbing.
Regina's body becomes numb, she squeezes her eyes closed and wishes, no hopes that this was all just a dream. One horrible, terrible dream. Regina wished she could go back to the time of stolen kisses and secret meetings. She wished she could go back in time where things weren't so bad. She just wanted anything, but reality.
Regina then notices that the rain had stopped and that the waves had calmed down. She looks to the sky and sees the clouds clearing to reveal the moon. Regina eventually put two and two together.
"The storm...it stopped."
"Our daughter just died and all you care about is the storm?!", David asks angrily.
"Of course not you idiot!-", Regina's voice cracked as her eyes grew wet, but she managed to regain her composure before she spoke again,"- The storm seemed be a result of our anger. The more we fought each other the stronger it would get and when Emma went overboard, we ended up working together to try to rescue her. Miss Swan saved us all.", Regina finished
"But we couldn't save her," Snow cried
