Isn't this what she had wanted since the "Savior" came to town, Henry all to herself once more, but not like this. She knew it broke his heart to know that his mother, the woman he trusted, worse the woman she began to trust, betrayed him and took away his first oppurtunity at his own happy ending.

She could hear the faint sounds of the lyrics to a song on repeat...the same song that he had played since they returned to Storybrook, from what Henry had said it was the same song that his father had played for his mother.

Her son, her Henry was feeling the pain that she had promised herself that she would never allow. She rose from her seat and walk towards the stairs, when a knock came from the front door. She glanced once more at her broken hearted son's door and wiped the tears away from her eyes. She didn't think there was much that would hurt as much as the day that her mother ripped Daniel's heart from his chest, but seeing the pain and betrayl in her son's eyes was just as painful as that day. She caught a glance in the mirror as she approached the door and adjusted herself to have the confidence and composure of Regina Mills, not the weakness she was currently feeling as Henry's mother. With one last deep breath she opened the door.

As she opened the door, a heat rose throughout her whole body, what right does she think she has to be here?!

"Emma." She spat towards the woman standing in her doorway

"Hello" Regina couldn't stand this new arrogance that Miss Swan, no the dark one had.

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

"I'm here to see Henry." With that statement a rage filled Regina, she wished that she was still her evil self, she would have thrust her hand into the dark ones chest and crushed her heart without a second thought, but that wasn't who she was anymore and wasn't who Henry needed her to be.

"I just don't understand Miss Swan, Emma. You kept telling me that there was hope for everyone, that we needed to be the change to get our Happy Ending, why would you rip out a 13 year old girls heart and take that away from my...our son?!"

"What I am doing is my bussiness! You will do anything to keep Henry away from me." The anger released in Regina, all that remained as she looked at a woman she once called a friend was sadness. T

"I watched you do it Emma, Robin and I were trying to find out what happened during the time we can't remember", she says as she holds up the dreamcatcher that brought the truth to life, "Henry knows what you did, if I could have prevented him from knowing I would have, this is not about you and me...it's about Henry. Emma" she softened as what she is about to say no mother deserves to hear, not even one who has changed as much as Emma, "even if I were to think of letting you see Henry he doesn't want to speak to you."

She watched as the dark one stepped closer to a small smile crossing the dark ones lips.

"You think you can keep me from seeing my son?" The dark one snickered with those final words and all regina saw was the glint of something shiny from the dark ones coat, then a searing pain from her gut. Her look of anger quickly changed to shock, there was no more of the woman she once knew, only the dak one. She stepped back the metal sliding out of her gut and being replaced by a steady flow of crimson. She looked down in shock and stumbled backwards into the wall sliding down it as she watched the dark one pass towards her son's room. She raised her hand to heal herself, when the sword that lay now on the doorstep covered in blood caught her eye. She dropped her hands as she saw the blade and felt it's curse coming from it. Her magic was useless against it...She closed her eyes listening to the sounds of the dark one climbing the stairs as the faint lyrics continued from Henry's room.

She closed her eyes thinking of Henry and Robin and wishing her Happy Ending could have lasted just one day more. All I need was another day.
