Emma's P.O.V.
For the first time I wasn't cursing my situation. Not that I didn't understand I chose to do this because I do. It the still the gut clenching moment though that right before the memory begins to fade. I'm hoping I'm right that this is my chance to come out to the real world. At first nothing happens and panic sets in. I don't know what went wrong I just rewatched the first foster father I had that beat my mother. I just watched as I stood there to afraid to protect her because I finally had a home again. I regret it, hate myself, and understand I was to young to save anyone at the time.
Then when I think I've failed and misjudged what the memories were I blink away tears and find myself standing in the forest by the well. I know not everything is as the page IT found says but it looks as if the dark one is trying to find the last working portal I know of. The well is just a pit of water now but I have no idea what powers the darkness has. So before I run out of time I take myself to gold's shop I have a feeling rumple will still be there, maybe Belle too but I need his book or her smarts.
"Emma?" I rasp out a yes feeling the fight getting hard but I push back and gain some reprieve. "What are you doing here. Regina just called said to look out for.. You.. Well the other you but that you'd be looking for something."
"The darkness is looking for a portal, I'm not I need gold but you are smart to. Is there anything on how magical transfers work, how to make a magical baby, or maybe a mix of that." I didn't hear the doorbell chime but I hear the voice that follows.
"You want to do what!?" Regina! I feel a falter in my focus but I know I still have a hold.
"Make a magical baby. The sorcerer said it need a living body and if it took to me why not a baby. Force it in. I mean we can raise right."
"You mean you and your pirate? Sure if he knew but he doesn't why don't you talk to him, why don't you tell him you plan on dooming a child to the darkest magic ever. You can't even hold yourself together long enough to make one so sure go do that not see how your son feels or would feel." Regina yells as if I have just said the worst things in history of al my ideas. She thinks I want him, I don't.
"Gina" it comes out a whisper. She right I'm slipping again. "I don't want his baby. I don't .. love him." The pain starts from the core of my body. My chest hurts next. "I told you I love.." I can't stop the agonizing scream. Regina comes to my side and begs me to stay just a moment longer. I look her in their eyes one last time before saying her name.
"What Emma? What is it you can say please!" I try it again but this time I hear the words but I don't feel my mouth move with them. I end up crying feel as I've failed completely failed. I told her I loved her and yet she didn't hear me. Now I know next time it might be to late. I had no idea what the dark one was capable of but I needed to stop it.
Regina's P.O.V.
Emma just kept disappearing when all I wanted was for her to stay. Just like when she was talking an all I wanted what to know what she was saying. She doesn't love him but then who? I yelled at her why? She didn't deserve that after saving my life but then again I didn't ask her too and I certain can't live my life knowing she's not here with me and Henry to live it. An that's when my mind catches up with my thoughts. Of course I didn't love Robin as much as I did Henry but I had no excuse for pretending I loved him more than Emma. Did Emma love me as well I wondered.
Suddenly I wasn't staring into Emma's eyes I was staring a dark black empty eyes. Fire thriving in them. Then I wasn't I was fly across the room from a surge of energy pushing me away from Emma. I know it's not Emma but my Emma is gone by the time I stand up again. Belle puts a hand on my back to get me on my feet right.
"That was terrifying to see. I can't imagine how you feel." I stare at her confused for a moment.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Oh well I mean it's obvious now. She saved you I hear and well killian says she never said I love you to him anyway. I mean maybe you should talk to him." Belle stammers
"And just where is guyliner anyways." I sass. Oddly enough he was at rumpled side with a bottle of rum of course. He looks at me and I can tell he is in a lot of pain. He's drowning in it.
"Hook." I bite out. "What are you doing here? Why are you not looking for Emma?"
"Oi, but I am or I was until I realized why you were so broken up by her departure just as she was about you being the dark one. She said she was sorry before she turned around to face you. I didn't believe it at first but it was to your face she said I love you. An well who can compare to you. My old buddy the crocodile won't change his mind on how he feels I'm sure. Why don't you go find your girl your majesty" his rant seems endless but when he stops he gives me a look that says I need to go before he returned to looking down at his old arch nemesis.
My mind races with this information I spin on my heels to exit the shop and I have no plan at all. My hands are sweating the more his words circle in my head. I remember her face through the spiraling dark magic. Her eyes showed fear and heartache. I saw her lips move but I couldn't hear her and it was to late to read her lips as all I caught was 'you'.
"Regina wait!" Belle stops me and for a moment I wonder how strong she must be to not rather be with rumple than rooms away with me. "He's drunk don't listen to him so much. Emma does care for you but you need to be careful. She's not herself right now and Henry can't lose both his moms."
"Don't you think I know that, but I'm trying to find out what the dark one is planing so I can save her.. Or save her before the dark one has a plan."
"I might now what he's looking for now if you know why." She says and my attention is all hers. "Emma, our Emma said IT was looking for a portal."
"Damn it!" I scream. Emma can't go before I have a chance to speak to her again. I vanish in a cloud of smoke to return to the loft. Henry is supposed to be there with his grandparents whom are all no where to be found. I curse again taking out my phone. I hate this Emma IT's nothing like my Emma. I don't know like it like I know her. Did she really take my son, our son, hostage or something. I let Henry's phone ring a few time before realizing I wasn't going to get and answer and hung up. It's just then coming through the door kicking and screaming in charmings arms is Henry. I sigh with some relief.
"Mom! Where is ma did you find her?" Tears well up in my eyes but I blink them away before they makes things worse. I nod and when he asks where and how she is I have nothing to say other than I don't know.
"What do you mean you don't know? You suppose to find her I mean you left swore you'd find her. We had to deal with hook we had to calm him down because Emma said she loved you! Not him! So tell me how do you not know where our daughter is?" Snow looked broken like she had lost all hope an essentially that's what I did. I was taking away their hope if I didn't give them something.
"I know I ran off to find her it only been a day Snow but I do know Emma is in there still she spoke to me she has a plan but.. I don't know the whole thing is yet or what It plans to do once It has Merlin."
David's face said he was up for any challenge. I knew that meant he thought he could stop Emma for going through a portal but really I knew it wouldn't be Emma doing it. My heart broke realizing though that that did mean if the dark one succeeded then Emma would be gone. I couldn't allow that.
"That's good right so we stop the portal. Or Emma." David declared. I shook my head.
"There's more. It's not that easy stoping the dark ones power. It's active when the dark one is at the surface. If it's Emma she has a plan but I can't.." I shake my head as I trail off. Henry buts in then.
"What plan maybe you can I mean you have to you both are my moms. You have to try!" Tears broke out on my little princes face which only fueled me to not give up.
"Okay I'll try but I can't think of a way to make a baby for her unless she sleep with hook. I know she loves him so maybe if they did it once they can you you know..an we can make her plan work." Henry covers his ears in disgust and runs from the room quickly.
"Regina you can't really be that stupid. We just said she loves you." Snow snapped as if in fear for her daughters own pain at rejection. That's why I snapped right back.
"That's exactly why I can't because I love her too but Robin is my soul mate, true love, or whatever you call it. " There's total silence that is until Henry let his foot drop loudly at the confession. He was listening for a moment like this and here it was. I looked to him expecting disappointment in his eye but what I saw was so much belief.
"Then you have to save her mom. I think Robins great but you said it yourself Robin was a choice from before you ran from that tavern. Then he met Marian and had a life with them. It doesn't mean he is still you choice. You just want him to be because it's safer for you. Ma gave it everything to save you an said she loves you. Please don't run away again."
I look at Snow and Charming see how proud they look an I know Henry is right. I tell him just thay before rushing out the door to find Emma. Once again I have to use a tracking spell but I when i found her she was in the forest by the well. I remember the day she came climbing back from the enchanted forest the last time and I realize the dark one wants to activate it again somehow. the water has renewing abilities if they threw a magical bean in then that meant it was like a constant portal that just needed to be triggered.
the dark one did something and that made the portal open. Though I knew I had to stop Emma I couldn't without getting physical. I tried calling her name but I get nothing back. If anything was for sure I wasn't letting Emma go alone. I conjured a note for Henry and the Charmings before jumping in after my Emma .
reviews please!
Thanks to my two reviews I know somewhat just what to do but don't be afraid to ask questions or give your opinion.
next chapter is what's on the other side of the portal. How Henry feelet with both mothers gone. To be honest might not have a p.o.v when it does but no worries things are in place.
