Ok so I've been asked to make this one shot longer so imma try! I'm not very good at updating but I shall endeavour to keep this one up! If you've read my other, I'm not abandoning Always in Neverland just a bit stuck until I get this one out the way! Thank you to honeydewmelon56 Jcat30 and skullgaudess for their lovely reviews! (: In light of the most recent episode, for this story assume that everything that happened in the episode happened in this story and that this is the follow on from that. So this is just after Snow and charming find out about the failsafe and had a bit of time to "mull it over." Snow still took the potion and I severely doubt that that is the last we've seen of that "dangerous connection" Between snow and Regina.
Regina and snow Re-entered the flat. Emma and david were leant up against the side, emma the pale face of mourning David the furrowed brow of thought. Neither knew how to handle this situation next but all four were adamant on one thing: Henry's Safety.
"Well?" David said as he took mary Margarets Arm.
"We're fine david, I…I trust her…I feel her trust."
Emma Turned to Regina who was leant up against one of the wooden pillars.
"So…how do we go about destroying this fail safe?"
Regina sighed heavily and ran her fingers through her Jet Black hair.
"There is no way of destroying it…you can only slow down its actions."
"You've got to be kidding me!" Emma Cried in disbelief.
"So…basically we need to get everyone out of storybrooke?" David said placing his hands on his hips in his familiar fashion
"If Tamara and Greg decide to use it, then yes. And if their "home office" is anything to go by then I recommend we start putting an evacuation plan into action…" Regina added slumping into the nearest bar stool.
Suddenly the ground rumbled and snow, regina, emma and David fell to the floor with a thud along with plates and ornaments from Mary Margarets shelves.
"It's begun…" Regina stated.
"Where would they have taken it!?" Snow cried.
"And more importantly how did they activate it?" Emma added throwing a glance to Regina.
"A Dwarf pick axe is the only thing that can activate the Jewel…They'll be in the mines."
Snow looked to Emma and Regina.
"We need to get the rest of storybrooke to safety through a portal."
"How!? There are no more magic beans!" David cried.
"That's where you're wrong…" Emma said pulling a small green bag from her pocket. "I stole these from Tamara when she was putting up a fight." Emma un pulled the string to reveal two magic beans.
David placed a hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
"That's my girl!"
"We need to open a portal and send the entirety of storybrook through one place…i'll go and slow things down…it should give you a few hours…" Regina said turning on her heel.
"No! How will you get through?!" Snow cried taking her wrist in her hand.
Regina turned and looked deep into snow's eyes. Regina felt sick, Snow felt sick. Their hearts simultaneously pumped fast.
"I'll think of something…" Regina replied, quietly, looking down and swallowing the lump in her throat that snow could feel. Snow choked a cry before building the wall. She nodded.
"We won't leave you behind…I promise. You go and slow this down and we will get you home." snow whispered.
"That's the deal you want to make?" Regina replied, disbelieving.
Snow looked at her for a moment. Just a moment, before replying.
"With all my heart."
Regina tilted her head slightly with furrowed brows. She remembered that line, she herself had used it, right before she put Snow under the sleeping curse. Except this time it wasn't with malice. It was delicate and promising and sweet with meaning.
"Then…I guess I'll see you in a few hours." Regina said before rushing out the door.
