An Unlikely Ally

Regina stood in the middle of the street, staring at the Dark One dagger. Which a few moments ago was ownerless, but then ended up as a tether for a poor soul once again. But the name on the blade was unlike any of the previous dark ones. It belonged to a hero who had sacrificed himself for others many times before. The name was Jack Frost.

"How could he be so stupid?!" Regina shouted in agony.

"That thing almost killed you. He saved your life." said Mary Margaret.

"Don't you think I don't know that?!" Regina retorted.

After a few moments of reminiscing over the loss of their friend, they went into Gold's shop. The apprentice lied beside the Blue Fairy after his rough encounter with the darkness. He was only a few moments away from death.

"That monster just took Jack. Where did it go?" Emma asked.

"Where all darkness originates, in your realm." he answered weakly.

He then flicked his wrist and wand appeared in his hand. He handed it to Regina and gave his final breath. They figured that they could use it a tool to get to Jack. Regina tried to use the wand to open a portal, but nothing happened.

"If you want my opinion, you have lost your inner evil. We need someone wicked." said Hook.

Regina's eyes lit up with realization. She knew who Hook was talking about, her sister Zelena. Much to her dismay, they went to the hospital ward to acquire her assistance.

"Hello sis, Robby, what do you want?" she asked rudely.

They quickly explained the situation with the darkness, and her eyes lit up in surprise. Even though she hated all of them, she secretly had a crush on Jack. She had observed him through her crystal ball in OZ many years ago. She pitied his loneliness and wanted to reach out to him. But she never got the chance to meet him without interference from Regina, Emma, and Mr. Gold. This could be her chance to get a happy ending.

"Well, that does sound awful. Luckily for you, l will assist you in retrieving Little Jackie from the darkness." she said with a smile on her face.

Regina looked surprised that Zelena was actually going to help them.

"Why did you willingly decide to help us?" she asked the former Wicked Witch.

"I have my reasons to help Jack, which I don't have to tell you." she sassfully to her so-called little sister.

"Besides motherhood is starting to change me." she said.

Emma remove Zelena's cuff and handed the wand. She then closed her eyes and focused on the Enchanted Forest. It took a few seconds, but then a green cyclone appeared in the sky. Within the blink of an eye, the cyclone carried them off to the Enchanted Forest. The quest to save Jack begins!

(I know it's the shortest chapter I have written in anything, but it will get better over time.)
