A/N One day I'm going to have just one multichaptered story per season but… I guess that that day isn't here yet. Anyway, after… well, everything we have been told about the season finale moments and the leaked images my muse whispered to me that it was time to write this story. I have everything sorted out by now but I still need to page everything so I don't really know how long is going to be.

On the other hand I want to tell all of you that yes, SQ is going to be as endgame as ever but I'm asking for a little bit of patience (all of you how already know me knows that I'm a sucker for slow burnings but this story is going to contain smut so there is nothing ;))

And… that was it. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: The characters depicted here aren't my own although I would probably would take care of them better that the writers of their original show.

The missing page-1

Cries and screams could be heard from every angle as Maleficient's dragon form spit out flame after flame destroying everything she could. Storybrooke's main street was now a pile of rubble with half-melted cars scattered around the place making the road look like a post-apocalyptic movie set.

As a few more citizens run outside the now half-destroyed dinner while trying to disappear for the dragon's irate form another kind of fight was happening between the remains of the police station. The air around the place was coated with magic and here and there sparkles and electricity collided making the smoke that surrounded the place even thicker than the rest of the town. From somewhere inside the station voices and screams could be heard and as the gigantic dragon flied over the building looking for the ones she was searching for she could hear a gagging noise followed but what appeared to be a cackle that came from inside of it.

Suddenly deep red and purple mist covered the air just below the dragon's belly leaving her blind to the next blasts of magic. Grunting and sending another powerful flame to the concrete that still covered half of the road she descended with her eyes narrowed as much as possible, carefully trying to avoid anything her foes could had have in store for her. When her claws finally touched the melted floor of the station she shrank, turning back into her human and looking curiously at the destroyed place in where pieces of the roof laid around crushing everything that wasn't destroyed or squashed already.

"There you are" Someone at her back said menacingly and as last Queen of Darkness turned she found Snow looking at her. Then everything went black.


Regina and Emma were trapped in a vortex of pure magic with Gold and the Author in the backyard of the station. The place looked like a maze between the pieces of cars and objects that Maleficient's attacks had caused to the city, the air smelled vaguely to the sulfur of the dragon's breath and as the blonde tried to see the author hidden behind the resulted cloud of Maleficient's fire she blinked. Hot tears rolled down her cheeks product of the putrid smell. It was impossible to see anything apart from a few figures a little ahead of them, the rest covered in the blinding fog.

"It's over Rumple" Regina said menacingly while sending another magical blast to the cackling man over the overturned car both Emma and she were using as a shield "Stop this nonsense"

"I think, dear, it's going to be you the one that's going to stop dearie" The man replied as the Author scribbled something down in the nearest surface he could find with trembling fingers. Unsurprisingly Regina found herself feeling weaker and Emma sighed at her side, tired of the man's tricks with the magical ink, her own hands burning with the amount of magic she had tried to blast against Rumple but the man- protected by the author by who know what type of deal- remained untouched.

"I'm starting to fed up" She murmured with stormy eyes as she helped Regina to keep standing when the woman felt a wave of nausea product of the draining the author had caused on her.

"You are not the only one" Regina replied while biting her lower lip as she tried to think something they could have not tried already.

"Fortunately you managed to enchant that net for Maleficent" Emma continued as Rumple approached them sporting a smirk on his lips.

"Maleficent is not one of my bigger problems right now Ms. Swan" Regina answered while sending a spell towards Rumple who shrugged it off like it was nothing occasioning the author to swallow as he wrote another line against the women.

"Well" Emma said as she moved closer to Regina, her hands glowing with dirty white mist as she tried to think anything that could help them against Gold. The man's figure was barely silhouetted against the putrid cloud that covered half the city but she knew it didn't matter how much they tried to hurt him; it was impossible to do it while the author kept the quill. "I was trying to remain positive but clearly that's not what you need"

"If I would have needed that I would have asked your mother's help" Regina replied bitterly before continuing. "I'm going to try to attack the author, if the imp still thinks that we are both somewhere in this side of the backyard I can teleport myself behind him and then attack that coward man until he gives me the quill"

Emma gulped feeling the back of her neck tingling as another deep red blast flied over their heads as a giggling sound could be heard from Rumplestiskin's direction.

"I'm not going to be the one who hands you to that crazy man" The blonde whispered while trying to remember any spell Regina could have taught her before everything turned out to be far more complicated than the usual.

"Then don't" Regina replied back as purple mist started to pool her feet and ankles. Highly frustrated Emma knocked her down while feeling Rumple's magic presence getting nearer.

"You are going to stay here" Pale lips said against Regina's ear "I promised you a happy ending, I'm sure that being death is not precisely your favorite idea"

"If you don't let me go this instant we both are going to die" Regina murmured back "And I don't think you want to make Henry an orphan or the pirate a more stupid being than usual for your death because you couldn't let me go"

Emma stared at Regina's eyes noticing for the first time how her body was against the older woman's curvier one. Blushing for her thoughts and trying to keep her voice as steady as possible considering their situation she nodded once as Rumplestiskin send another wave against the car's hood that hissed and dissolved. "Take care, ok?"

Regina answered her with a grunt and disappeared, a little cloud of purple magic floating for a second before disappearing completely leaving Emma alone against Rumplestiskin's wrath.

"One day my life is not going to look like Zelda" The blonde muttered tiredly and wondered why the villains she fought against couldn't just take a couple of bullets and stop attacking people. Gathering every energy she had she shot the blast against Rumplestiskin praying that Regina arrived on time to stop the author wherever the man was hiding.

Regina reappeared at the other side of the station's backyard and tried to spot the author while carefully avoiding any lost magic blasts that both Emma and Rumple could be shooting right now.

"Emma don't dare to die" The brunette thought when she saw a white blast against the sulfur cloud. The air still smelled like rotten eggs and she needed to stifle a cough while she gagged.

She turned and looked closely at any hiding spot the author could be using; shooting worried glances from where Emma and Rumple were still fighting Regina sharpened her earing, trying to find anything that could lead her to the coward man who had her future and the many others, in her weak hands.

"Next time, you need to pick someone Fate try to think twice" She grumbled as she smiled darkly, the author was behind a pile of rubbish trembling while his left hand grabbed the quill between her fingers as tightly as he could. "There you are"

The Author looked at her startled and for a moment Regina could have sworn that relief filled the man's pupils before being replaced by fear.

As quick as she could Regina attacked the man, her hands going directly to the quill trying to grab it before the Author could write something and end both her life and Emma's.

Emma swallowed, Rumplestiskin was a few inches at her right, his hands glowing with magic and for a moment the blonde thought on the crocodile-like-skin the man had had back on the enchanted forest. She would have said that he had never looked more like a beast like in that moment, until now.

Sighing she tried to conjure one more blast, her mind going directly to Regina who, she hoped, had gained the quill.

"Here goes nothing" She said to herself as she sent the magic spell as strongly as she cold against the Dark one's body.

At the other side of the backyard Regina grabbed the quill of the Author's trembling hand with a smug smile playing on her lips, the man hadn't defended himself, too scared to even try.

"You don't understand" He said "No one does, I can't write something perfect, life's not like that"

"You should have thought that before playing with real people's fates" The brunette said while trying to muster enough magic to reappear at Emma's side.

She didn't see the blast or the gleeful smile Rumple gave to Emma when he finally found her but she felt the magic impact as Emma's failed attempt to cover herself crashed against her body.

The last thing she saw was the quill breaking into a million pieces while the author tried to reach it.


And then, light.

When Regina opened her eyes once again she found herself looking at a wooden roof where a few sunrays danced playfully making a few dots of dust glow in what appeared to be dusk light.

Frowning she moved her neck to her right eliciting a crack and a wave of nausea as her eyes focused on a half-opened door. The place was deserted but it looked like someone lived there judging by the table in the middle of what was only a big room with a floor made of clay and two little windows at the sides of the door. The bed where she was laying and a few utensils made by the same wood from where the rest of the furniture was made were other clues that the place was owned by someone although she didn't know who could that be. As far as she knew the only Storybrooke's citizen who had a cabin was Rumplestiskin himself and she doubted that the man could have left her without anything restraining her magic.

Worriedly she realized that neither the hut was Rumple's nor her magic seemed reachable for her. Her mind was filled with the theory but as she tried to make contact with it it slipped through her fingers like grains of sand. Swallowing and tried to appear much surer of herself that she felt she stood, fighting against her nausea once and again.

She groaned and tried to move after a few more seconds, her thoughts going directly to Henry and Emma wondering if they had brought her to wherever she was, maybe Emma had defeated Rumple or at least weakened him enough to buy them time to retreat to somewhere at the other side of the barrier. It seemed unlikely but it was the only explanation she had so she put a hand at the bed's edge and stood feeling lightheaded and slightly hungry.

"I must be completely drained" She thought to herself as she moved towards the door with slow steps. She realized that she was wearing something close to a gown and frowned, already thinking on what was going to say to Emma if she had been the culprit of her fashion decision.

She finally reached the door and pushed, founding it oddly open "If we are on the run keeping a door open it's not precisely one of the best ideas" She mentally said to an imaginary Emma, even recreating the blonde woman's scowl on her mind. Smirking slightly at the thought of what the younger woman could answer to that she step outside the cabin.

But then, as her eyes finally focused on the different light- Regina realized now that she hadn't see any electronic device inside the hut- that the settling sun provided she paled, the chirping birds and fresh air making memories hit her with somewhere she had thought she was never going back to.

The Enchanted Forest.

Turning and opening the cabin's door once again with trembling fingers and a panicked feeling growing on her chest she swallowed as the nausea feeling intensified. Once inside she reached for the bed in where she laid trying to regain her thoughts. The place was slightly darker than a few minutes before and she closed her eyes, thankful of the sudden calm that the place gave it to her.

"What happened?" She mentally screamed wondering where Henry and the rest of the town were. She didn't have any recollection after her fight against Rumplestiskin. She vaguely remembered talking with the Charmings and instructing them to stop Maleficent before going with Emma to fight against the imp. She had left Emma's side to distract the man and then… she had cornered the author. After that she only could remember a scorching heat and the quill. The quill breaking against the floor.

She opened her eyes just in time to see the door opening again, her thoughts going in full speed as she wondered if the reason she had been sent back to the enchanted forest was just a product of the magic blast or the quill which she cursed, was now unreachable and so the possibility of any happy endings.

Steeling herself and already thinking of who could be at the other side of the now ajar door she tried to reach her magic once again but she came with nothing, the magical part of her still unreachable.

"Well" She snickered "I still have my story, whoever it's the one who thinks they can trap me inside this cabin is heavily mistaken"

She didn't have time to think anything though because at the other side of the room, smiling happily with his hands full of wood was Daniel.

Daniel who, after leaving the wood at one side of the cabin, approached at the bed and kissed her softly before looking at her.

"Feeling better?"

Side Note: They keep changing Emma's magic color but I think it was white or grey the last time she did magic right? Or that was the product of both her magic and Regina's combined? I don't remember… if anyone does please tell me so I can rewrite that part.
