A/N: I'm using two dialog pieces I found on FB.

The Sacrifice

"Emma, no." My voice was a whisper. A single tear rolled down my cheek as Emma plunged the dagger into the darkness that surrounded me. I saw her once bright green eyes turn black and then a dull green. We never broke eye contact until she was swallowed by the darkness. The dagger fell to the street and no one moved. None of us could believe the sacrifice Emma just made. She sacrificed herself for me. For my happiness. "That idiot! She's so stupid!" Anger started to course through my veins. How could she do this to us?

"Regina!" David yelled from behind me.

"No! There had to have been another way!" My voice rose with each word. Henry was unable to speak. He was still in shock.

"Regina, there wasn't. She saved you." Mary Margaret tried to comfort me. "She's still good." Her voice and optimism sickened me.

Taking steps towards the petite woman, I tried to conceal my rage. "It's not like she floated off on a unicorn! She got sucked into a vortex of evil!" That darkness was meant for me not her!

"Regina…" Robin tried to pull me into his arms but I stopped him.

"No. Do not touch me." Turning, I saw the pirate pick up Emma's dagger. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Dark One, I summon thee." He held the dagger before him. When nothing happened, he tried again. "Dark One, I summon thee!" Frustration was clear when Emma didn't come. "Why isn't it working?"

"Because the dagger doesn't belong to you. Emma was pure light magic and then became pure darkness. With every past Dark One, the dagger belonged to two people; The Dark One themselves and another."

"I'm her true love so shouldn't I be its second owner?" Hook's brow creased.

"For one, you've kissed her quite a few times before while a curse of some sort was active, did said kiss break anything?" I stood in front of the pirate.

He thought a moment. "N-no?"

"Then what does that tell us?" I grabbed the dagger before the heartbroken pirate could answer.

"Regina, go easy on him. But, if Hook isn't Emma's true love and isn't the dagger's second owner, then who is?" David held onto his frazzled wife.

"Mom?" Henry watched as I ran my hands over the cold metal.

As I held the dagger something felt drawn to me. The name Emma Swan engraved into it. The dagger felt like an extension of me. Pain filled my chest as I thought about Emma sacrificing herself for my happiness. Four years ago I wouldn't have been happier and now, now I'm…disgusted. That idiot! "Dark One, I summon thee." I waited.

"What makes you think she'll come to you?" Hook scoffed.

"Because I scare the hell out of her," I paused. "Miss. Swan, come! Now!" A dark purple smoke started to swirl a few feet away. I couldn't help the triumphant smirk that made its way to my lips. The despair in Snow's eyes was too great. I owned her precious daughter.

"You summoned me, Regina?" Emma's voice was dark. Her eyes were a dull shade of green and her hair was tossed. She wore a long black dress that flowed behind her. Something was different about her body. She was, taller? Emma started towards me. "Regina, I will destroy you-,"

"Hold up." I held my hand out, forcing Emma to stop. My arms folded as I looked down. "What are those?" Emma frowned glancing to her feet and back to me. "Those. Are. Mine." With each word, I took a step entering the blonde's personal space. With a wave of my hand, we were enveloped in a cloud of smoke that transported us to my crypt. "What the hell were you doing in my closet? Might I remind you, the closet I have in my crypt."

Emma's eyes grew wide a moment. "Who says these are yours?"

"Try to walk." I motioned towards the door. When Emma refused, I held the dagger towards her. "Walk." Grumbling, Emma tried to walk away; stumbling every step. "See? Those are mine."

"So what if they are your shoes? I'm more powerful than you now…"

A chuckle bubbled into my throat. "Are you sure about that?"

Emma faced me once more. "Regina-,"

"Bow." A second later, Emma was on her knees. "Still think you're more powerful?"

Fire burned in Emma's eyes. "When I get my dagger…."

"Oh, but here's the thing, you're not getting this dagger. I'm keeping it. Otherwise, you're going to do something more stupid than you've already done."

"What did I do that was so stupid?" Emma stood slowly.

"You became The Dark One you idiot. You sacrificed-,"

"Regina! Emma!" Both Emma and I groaned at the sound of Mary Margaret's voice. Shortly after, she was followed by Hook, Robin, Henry, and Charming. "What are the two of you doing down here? Regina, why did you bring her here?"

"We needed to talk. Alone. Emma will remain here until we figure out how to reverse this." Emma opened her mouth to argue but closed it when I held up the dagger. She might be the all powerful Dark One to everyone else but she's still just Emma to me. There had to be a way to reverse this.
