"Are you sure this is the right way?" she asked walking behind Regina which led the way

"Believe me I know. This is the way."

Robin Hood was behind, watching the forest with his bow ready to fire if someone appeared. For some reason he felt he was being watched, but maybe it was just his head playing games with him. Emma stopped and began to look at all sides, while Regina continued to walk.

"Regina hold on" she whispered

"Why are you whispering?" she asked turning

"Mom what's wrong?"

"You also heard that?" Emma asked Robin who was alert as she was

"Yes, I think that someone is watching us."

"Oh good." Regina said "I think it's time to start training my magic."

"What's wrong with your magic mom?"

"It is declining each time I try to do something as if my hands enter in short circuit."

"Let me try. "Said Emma raising both hands and concentrating

Emma opened her eyes after several attempts to do magic, and not a little fire could do. "This is not a good sign."

"None of this is good sign. Why the hell Lily brought us to this point? At least she could brought me with magic."

"But how could she have enough power to do this?" asked Robin lowering the bow

"Last time I checked she was a dragon she had no magic only fireballs" said Emma

"Maybe it was Maleficent?" asked Henry looking at Regina

"She was always a box of surprises." said Regina "Maybe she is a fan of my curse."

"I doubt that, she was pregnant by this time and thanks to my parents she lost the baby."

They began to hear riders running through the forest again, in their black horses. Emma and the others hid quickly behind some bushes.

This time they didn't come alone, one of the four horsemen brought a girl with him.

"Wait is that Belle?" asked Henry

All bowed a bit to see if it was really Belle. When the riders passed beside them, they lie down and then raised again

"What is she doing with them?" asked Robin

"She saw us?" said Regina

"I don't think so but if Belle is with the knights, where is Gold?" asked Emma frightened by the idea that Gold was in power

"That old sorcerer don't deserve to be in my castle." said Regina furious

"We better get going if we want to get to the castle of David and Mary Marget before sunset." Robin said picking on her bow "Then we can find out what happened to your castle Regina."

Emma and the others followed Regina that was furious with the idea of Gold being in her own castle, but on the other hand, excited to have something to fight.

Regina has always been the kind of woman who needs to have something to fight, or someone. Life in Storybrooke have been wonderful, no wicked sisters trying to destroy everything she loves or Ice Queens. It's been peaceful. She was again the mayor, she lived with Robin and Henry spent much time with her. Everything was perfect. But Regina always loved action, and having something to destroy. So a part of her missed it, the adventure it was to live in the enchanted forest. However, another part of her was trying to fight to come to the surface, something she didn't want to let out, she looked at her long black dress and couldn't explain how happy she was to wear the clothes of the Evil Queen.

Regina missed her, this part of her. For some reason being away from Storybrooke and return here made her miss most.

"Regina where are we?" asked Robin a little bit tired

"Actually I found it" Regina smiled and pointed to a huge castle ahead of them

"It's pretty much intact." said Emma surprised "Last time we came here was completely destroyed."

"Well these were the effects of my curse, and I think she was not released this time."

"So are we were to change the future?" Henry asked

"No, Lily has no intention to help us." said Emma right away

"If I had never released the curse Maleficent never would have gone to your parents."

"So there is nothing wrong ..?" asked Henry

"Of course there is something wrong, we are talking about Lily." said Emma

"No one can change the past, neither the authors themselves." said Robin "Zelena tried but I doubt Lily has this power to perform this spell."

"You're right, she doesn't. We must be here for another purpose. A bad one."

"We can discuss that as we walk, we still have to walk a little more to get to the castle." said Regina

After a few more hours to walk through the forest they finally arrived to the castle. Emma only saw this castle once, and never seen him when he was intact, she couldn't help be amazed. Being inside a fairy tale still seemed silly but on the other hand also seemed extremely awesome.

They entered the castle, with Robin ahead with his bow and with Emma and the sword that she found into the camp.

"No one is living her so it's a good sign." said Regina "It means that we are not in a messed up universe."

"Who are you?" Regina felt the tip of a sword on his back, she smirked by thinking of crushing that person heart, she turned anxious to take her heart, that was, until she saw her.

"Snow?" said Regina confused

Snow was dressed with her bandit clothes, before knowing Charming and become a princess. Her hair was long and messy. But still with the same expression she used to. That look that could kill anyone who cross her way. Emma was used to the maternal gaze full of hope, but she didn't disapproved this look at all.

"What do you want?" asked Snow still with the sword ahead of Regina

"Mom?" Emma advanced to Mary Marget who pointed the sword leaving Regina free

"Well at least we know that my curse was never released." said Regina

"Don't you remember her?" Emma pointed to Regina

"No, neither you. You have to leave, this is my home now."

"Well this is interesting" Regina smiled

"We're leaving ... but before, whose is the new queen? "Asked Emma stepping away

"There is no queen."

"What about the black knights?"

"I never saw them." Replied "Now who are you?"

"We are from the future." said Henry

"Not technically, since I have not tried to kill you, your future may be very different." Regina said softly

"What did you say?" Snow turned to Regina

"My name is Emma, this is my son Henry, and this is Regina and Robin. We just woke up here."

"Sorry but I can't help." Snow lowered his sword and left them

"Wait!" Emma screamed "Do you know anyone called Charming?"

"That's a silly name, and no I don't know him." Snow continues to walk

This is what Lily wanted, to make her return to the person she once was, back to being alone in the world. Back to feel alone and unloved by those she most wants to receive love. Her mother. Emma was terrified just by thinking what could have happened to Killian. She was not sure if I could go back to lose another person, all in a space of days.

"Emma what do we do" asked Robin afraid to ask whatever it is, Emma looked fragile and angry

"We need to find her. Lily."

"How do we know she's here Emma? "Asked Regina

"She is destroying everything I have. My parents never meet, and probably something happened to Killian.. She created this world for us in some way, and she has to be here to see me suffer if not all this would be in vain. "

"We're going to find her mom but do you have any idea where she might be?" said Henry

"The Riders, they can only be her. We have to follow them, or capture one."

"This plan pleases me, I need to crush a few hearts." said Regina doing hand movements

Everyone turned to her.

"I'm just kidding" she said, "Sort of ..."

"We already know where is my mother so what happened to my father?" said Emma worried

"I don't know but I have a feeling we are going to find out soon." said Regina

Emma looked back, Snow had already climbed all the stairs, and she had no idea that was turning her back on his first child. Emma knew better than to do this, she has been in the mother's role, Hook has been in the role of Emma. And she remembers how she felt when she saw her reality be taken right in front of her eyes, but all that Emma wanted right now was to look again in Mary Marget eyes, even if it meant get punched in the face.

Emma started running to upstairs, leaving the others without knowing what to do.

"Mom!" Henry shouted, he was ready to start running after her until Regina pulled

"Wait Henry, I think she has to do this." said Regina

Emma knew only one thing about this castle. Where was her room as a baby, by impulse she went there. The castle was deserted, but curiously clean, why Snow was living here alone?

The old Emma's bedroom door was half open, she peered inside and opened it carefully. She saw a baby in Snow's arms, she was singing her a melody. She was so happy. Emma couldn't hold back the tears when she saw her mother to embrace another baby. She began to cry, as if sensing that something was wrong, Emma pulls back slightly and leans against the wall.

"It's okay Sarah, you have nothing to worry about. Mom's here and I will not leave you." the baby laughed which made Snow laugh a little

Emma peered one last time, she needed to see once again the illuminated face of her mother. The happiness.

Emma let them, also leaving the idea she had built as she climbed the stairs to see her mother. She was thinking about telling her the truth, she should believe, there might be some act of true love in her words.

Henry was impatient down there while waiting for his mother and when he barely saw the long blond hair of Emma ran to hug her.

"Hey kid." Somehow Emma remembered the day that Henry was born and she chose to give him up for adoption, she regrets now more than ever "Come on we have to go look for Lily and end this nightmare."

Almost to leave the castle, they hear Snow calling them. Emma turned away, hoping that by some crazy reason she remembered.

"There's something wrong." She said walking down the stairs "I don't live in this castle, I live in the forest and two days ago I got here. And I don't know where my husband is."

"Maybe we can find." Emma said "If you come with us."

"I just need to get something." Snow said returning to the room

"You think its Charming?" asked Regina

"Yeah, I guess."

"So we are making your parents meet again?"

"In some way yes, but Lily's plan can't be that."

"So what the little bitch wants?"

"That's the plan."

Regina looked up the stairs and saw Snow walking down the stairs with a baby on her arms. This was the plan, Emma away from his family in a cruel way, so they never know her and instead they would have another baby girl.

"This is my daughter." said Snow

Emma noticed the blanket that was exactly the same as she had when she was a baby, except the name, instead of telling Emma said Sarah.

Emma was in the lead alone, occasionally looking back to see her mother playing with the baby. She wanted to say something to her but it was too painful to look at.

"Emma my camp is near here, we could spend the night there and then go look for Lily tomorrow." Robin said

"Who is Lily? What about my husband?" asked Snow getting angry

"We think she's behind of all this, and I have a feeling we'll find your husband as soon as possible." Emma assured

"And this camp is safe?" asked Snow holding tightly her baby

"Yes, I also have a little boy, and I can assure you it is safe." Robin said

Emma asked to speak to Regina in private, while the others made their way to camp.

"What the hell happened now?" asked Regina

"I'm looking for Killian ... Now."

"Are you insane? Why not tomorrow morning?"

"I can't be here with... my mother. And I wonder what happened to Killian, he may even be in trouble and waiting for me."

"Okay genius and where are you going to look?"

"I'll look for the Jolly Roger, he has to be there."

"You know at least where the docks is?"

"No, but I'm good looking for things and find them, I'll make it."

"And what you want me to do?

"Look for my father."

"Alright ..."

Emma was going to call Henry when Regina pulled her arm lightly.

"Be careful Swan, to me it seems that you will not find any happy ending here."

"I need to know at least if he's alive."

Regina let her go and called Henry. She gave him a long hug and told him everything, Henry wanted to go with her but Emma managed to get him to stay with Regina.

Emma looked one last time to her mother, who was also looking to her. When she turned her back Emma took advantage and went in the opposite direction that Regina told her to take.

"Where she went?" asked Snow to Regina

"Search for her husband."

Emma knew she could fall into a trap at any time, or could appear a black knight at any time, but honestly she was already living in a nightmare, the only thing she had left was a change of Killian remember her and being alive.
