Chapter 1

Regina did not know exactly how she had come into her family's grave. She think it was a bit of involuntary magic that brought her here. Away from everyone. Safe. To keep her and the dagger safe.

As soon as the knife fell to the ground, Hook was the first to run to catch it. Charming was holding a badly shaken Snow. Regina? She was in a protective embrace of Robin. But before the pirate reached to the dagger, she invoked it and the object appeared in her palm with a trace of purple smoke. She did not know where it came from, but the need to be the one to hold the object made she invokes it. Robin released her immediately, and she did not expect that. What was he afraid?

"Give me the dagger." The Captain held out his good hand to her, but she did not listen. Snow was still crying and now she could understand that the woman was calling the Savior's name. The woman who saved her again.

"Give the dagger to him." Robin asked next to Regina, but the woman pulled the object closer to her chest, she will not give it to anyone. "Regina..." The pirate was almost at hand reach and she heard another request for Robin. The mind of woman was trying to process what happened. Is Emma dead? Where-

"Regina..." when she heard the voice of Robin again and the good hand of Hook stretched to her, she wanted to be somewhere else. Anywhere. And apparently, after all the energy she received from the cloud of Dark Magic, her own magic was sharper and took her away from there.

She sat in the chair she always used to read her books and to do some research. She knew that in a few moments someone would come looking for her. But now, indeed, it does not matter. Where was Emma? She looked at the knife carefully, how could she take the woman from it? God, what will she say to Henry?

There were no tears in her eyes, in fact, the only thing she had was shock. Emma had sacrificed for her, again. She watched Robin try to get her out of the vortice, but he could not, he is not magic. No one was. Emma ignored the request to stop. Damn, we could have found a way to take that away from me. But of course Emma was going to do some act of heroism. Always the damn Savior. Her Savior.

She did not let the smile slip through, because in fact she was devastated inside. Again she needed to be saved, and again Emma was there. For a moment the idea might look good but, she still did not know how to bring the blonde back. She was inside the dagger? Somewhere suffering? These questions were all still unanswered and hurt to not know where she could find Emma. It hurt to have no idea of how the woman was now. But now was not the time to feel this pain, she needed to find a way to bring Emma back. The hold crying decided to show up, but she wiped the tears before they fell. She needed to be strong. Because now, she was the only one with enough magic to do something.

Carefully she could be, she put the dagger on the table, and decided to look for the only book that she knew that could explain something about people being attached to objects. Since the last Dark One was dead or almost dying, the only knowledge that she could have was in that book.

She found it in a small cell and sat down again, near the dagger.

After some pages read and nothing learned, she heard the sounds of footsteps on the stairs and she knew she will be found. Robin, Henry, Snow and Charming rushed in the little room, everyone looked around and Robin was the first to go look for her in the passage in the vault's back. Of course he knew how to get there. All they continued looking around.

Regina dropped the held breath when she realized that the spell worked. She had just become invisible to them. She was not ready to deal with any of them. She watched them make new plans and continue looking for her. In a way, she felt guilty for not helping them, but she needs to find a way to bring Emma back and unfortunately, they could not help.

Finally, Robin returned and they prepared to leave. They all went back to the stairs and when she thought everyone left, Henry returned. He took the scarf left on a chest and looked around. He quietly walked over to where she was and looked carefully in all directions. "Mom? I know you're there." He said and she almost smiled. This is my boy!

With a wave of her hands, she revealed her position and Henry saw her. Before she expected, he hugged her. She had seen his red eyes. God, that bad luck will not end?

She placed a kiss on the hair of the boy, who now was almost her height and as soon as he walked away, she took a deep breath.

"Emma... She-" - "I know." He interrupted. "Grandma and Grandpa said she absorbed all the Dark Magic for you." the boy said and Regina could not help but feel bad. Of course, the thing went straight toward me, of all people on earth...

Henry wiped his red eyes and looked at the Brunette, he tried to smile, but did not come out very good... "She did the right thing mom. You know Emma, she never will let we get hurt." He said and Regina could not stop the tears. "No. She would not let it happen." A sad smile gracing the lips of the two but, soon Henry hears the call of Charming. He looks at his mother, as if waiting for some instruction. Of course he is waiting, he is still a child... She smiled at him and points to the stairs.

"Go with your grandparents. Ask questions to Belle, maybe she can help us." As she says, he shakes his head in agreement and go toward the stairs. "Mom?" He calls from the first step and Regina looks at him expectantly. "Maybe you should just summon her." He says and shrugs. An act so Emma that she can not help but smile. Regina nods in agreement and wait the boy go.

She picks up the dagger and read again the name, she can not believe this is really happening...

She clears her throat and runs her fingers on the blade before she lift it. She does not know why, but whenever people call the Dark One, the dagger is ever high. She did not know if it was a necessary action, but still she would do it. Clearing her throat again, she closes her eyes and thinks in words clearly. Magic is about what you feel Regina...

"Dark One, I summon you" she says out loud inside the vault. And then there is no need to wait longer. Static in the air can be felt, something is coming. She steps back and suddenly something that looks like lightning strikes in the middle of the small room. Regina hide her eyes from the light, she starts considering to look for a shelter, but before that fear takes her, she hears a weak voice:

"Regina?"

A/N: Oh my god! The Final was simply one of the most fantastic of all time! And did was just me that felt a "I love you, BUT ..." from the Emma when she spoke to Hook?
