Emma sits on Zelena's bed watching as the witch sorts through her potions. She thinks about the conversation she had with Hook and about how she got caught up in all this. She sighs, "Do you think I would have volunteered for this even if you didn't show me how lost I was?"

Zelena turns to her, "I don't know. I think you were so busy trying to make everyone else happy that you forgot how to be."

Emma purses her lips, considering, "Maybe, but do I really want to be this person? I know you are all about being wicked, but even before I ran into the people of Storybrooke I was catching the bad guys."

Zelena sits next to her, "I never said you had to be a wicked ruler Emma. You chose that for yourself. This is who you really are. Why can't you embrace it?"

Emma shrugs, "I feel like something is missing. Like maybe I am not the one making the decisions for myself."

Zelena laughs, "Do you not know who you are talking about? You are impossible to influence. How many times are we going to have this conversation?"

Emma laughs and stands up, "I guess you are right. I just want to be true to me."

Zelena hugs her, "Don't worry. You are."

She watches as Emma leaves her room and rolls her eyes. It was getting harder and harder to deal with Emma. Convincing her that all this was her choice. If only she knew how much influence was on her. Show a girl how lost and alone she feels and soon her heart is open to suggestion. Soon, Zelena would have access to every realm and when that happened she would have no need for Emma Swan.

Hook waits for everything to fall silent before he decides to search the castle. In order for his plan to work completely he had to find what Zelena was using to corrupt Emma. It shouldn't be too hard to sneak around; he is a pirate after all. He manages to find her room and starts rummaging through all her stuff.

She clears her throat, "Well, well what do we have here? A thief?"

Hook spins around and tries to act nonchalant, "A pirate, actually."

Zelena steps forward, "I am pretty sure they are the same."

Hook shrugs, "I only take what others don't need. A thief takes everything."

She laughs, "I like you, Hook, but I can't have you around Emma. She is starting to soften and that doesn't work for me." She slowly smiles, "But I have just found a way to be rid of you from my castle."

Hook quirks his brow, "Isn't Emma Queen?"

She ignores him and yells, "Guards! Please come fast!"

Two guards run in and tackle Hook to the ground. They yank him up and force him to walk forward. Zelena runs into the throne room, "Your majesty! We have a serious situation!"

Emma raises a brow when she sees Hook being restrained, "This should be interesting."

Zelena takes her hand with tears in his eyes, "He was looking through my potions! When I asked him what he was doing he said he was trying to find a way to kill me!"

Emma sits up straighter and looks at Hook, "Is this true?"

Hook shakes his head, "No, though I wish I had thought of that."

Emma looks between the two and clenches her fist, "Are you lying to me, Lena?"

Zelena looks up at her with betrayal, "You believe this scoundrel over me? Haven't I been there? I have treated better than any of those people you call your friends. Don't let them make you into that person again. You have to believe me."

Emma stands up and walks closer to Hook, "She wouldn't lie to me, but neither would you. Unless you really don't love me."

He tries to reach for her, but is yanked back, "I do love you, Emma. She is the liar. You have to believe me."

Zelena whispers in her ear, "He is trying to change you. You have no choice. You have to kill him."

Emma starts to breathe heavier and heavier. She didn't know what to do. Every emotion in her was on fire. She spins around, "I can't kill him! I love him! If he dies then so do I."

Zelena's face contorts into a look so wicked Emma flinches back, "If you don't, I will." She smiles, "Better yet…CROW!"

Emma's eyes widen and she turns just as Crow walks in the room. She waves her hand and Hook disappears from the room. She turns back to Zelena, "Now you don't have to worry about him." She glares, "And if you ever try to go behind my back again I will kill you. I don't care if this place falls apart."

Zelena nods, "Sorry, my Queen. I was just afraid for my life."

Emma smirks, "You really think I would let him touch you? In my walls you are protected."

Hook looks around, disoriented. Where the bloody hell is he? He sees light through some of the trees ahead of him and figures that is the best way to go. He didn't expect to step in front of Glenda's castle. Emma had saved him, but what would it cost her?

He runs inside, yelling, "Snow! David!"

Snow comes running down the stairs, "Hook? What the hell happened?"

He shakes his head, "It doesn't matter. I think Emma is in grave danger. Zelena is planning something and I am pretty sure she is just using Emma to do it."

Henry, who had been listening, walks out, "Zelena can't wear the ruby shoes. I don't know why, but when we first got here that is what she said."

David frowns, "Do you think that is who brought you here? That would make the most sense."

Glenda walks gracefully down the stairs, "I agree. We thought that maybe Henry and Emma ran into something in their world, but Zelena is strong enough to work that kind of magic."

Hook nods, "She is the reason that I am not in the castle anymore. She claimed that I was softening Emma. We have to find out what she is up to."

Glenda sighs, "It might be too late. They are almost to the final phase and without you there to stop it there may be nothing we can do."

Snow puts her head in her hands, "What are we going to do?"

Regina smirks down at them from the top of the stairs, "We are going to storm the castle. Isn't that what you would normally do?"

David shakes his head, "We normally have an army."

She descends the stairs, "Well, then we will just have to sneak in and kidnap her while she is sleeping. I have a sleeping spell that will keep her asleep for a few hours."

Hook shrugs, "Better idea than just letting her die."

Emma takes off the ruby shoes and is about to go to sleep when Zelena walks in and all hell breaks loose. She waves a hand over the shoes and they disappear before Emma could get a hand on them and then she grabs Emma by the hair.

"You have pissed me off for the last time! It is so hard listening to you talk and acting like you are so tough. I am going to get what I want, but I am going to have to go to plan B."

Emma tries to use her magic, but without the shoes Zelena easily blocked it, "Why are you doing this?"

She shrugs, "You obviously don't have the heart to be wicked." Green smoke flies out of her hands and Emma gasps as all the witches magic lifts out of her and she is left breathless on the floor, "Now you can suffer the consequences of your decisions."

Emma passes out on the floor and is whisked away to the dungeon in the highest tower. Zelena laughs as she hears the bedroom door open and quickly uses her magic to disguise herself as Emma.

Hook freezes at the sight of her standing in front of the bed, "Emma? I thought you would be sleeping."

She raises a brow, "And what was your plan exactly? Sneak into my bed and hope that I have forgiven you for your betrayal. I might have showed you mercy earlier, but you will find none from me now."

Glenda steps in beside with wide eyes, "We are too late. There is no good in her. I don't know how this is possible."

Emma cackles, "You will never understand." She tilts her head, studying Glenda, "You know your sister loves you very much. She told me some lie about how killing you would destroy Oz. She said that about herself, as well, but Oz is still here."

Glenda gasps, "You killed her? But I thought she was your friend."

Emma rolls her eyes, "She lied to me and I hate liars. I thought why not risk it and it turns out she was all lies. What kind of friend is that?"

Hook frowns, "Why are you doing this?"

She grins, "I am so glad you asked. I want to be worshipped. I want everyone to see who the true leader is. I can do great things. I am just as good as anyone else!"

Glenda shakes her head, "What about Henry?"

Emma shrugs, "He has chosen and he will suffer as much as the rest."

Snow steps in, unable to stay hidden any longer, "How can you say that? He is your son!"

Emma laughs, "Well, then maybe there is some hope for him." She walks closer to the little group in front of her, "If I were you, I would prepare yourselves. There is a curse on the way and I would hate for you to miss it."

Snow gasps, "No, you didn't."

Emma nods, "Oh yes I did. But don't worry. You will remember who you are and where you come from. You just won't be able to leave and I will get to watch you suffer my wrath. That is until you promise your kingdoms to me!"

Snow shakes her head, "I won't do that."

Emma raises a brow, "We shall see."

She waves a hand and disappears.

Emma sits in the corner of her cell, shaking. She could remember everything that she had done. She could see the faces of the people that she had ordered to death. She puts a shaking hand to her head as tears start to fall down her face. This can't be happening. She looks up when she hears a screeching noise.

She watches herself walk up to the bars and she starts to shake her head, "You aren't real!"

The other Emma laughs and waves a hand to reveal Zelena, "Oh I am very real and you, my pretty, are about to go on the ride of a lifetime. You see, I made all of your friends and family believe that you unleashed this curse that is about to take us to your world."

Emma grabs the bars and stands up to face her, "They wouldn't believe that."

She just smirks, "Oh they do. You have done some evil stuff lately, Emma. They are willing to believe anything. The beauty of it is: you won't remember any of this or any of them. So when you show up, they won't trust you and you will lose your son, your true love, your parents, and your friends and you won't even know why."

Emma screams, "Why are you doing this to me? Why couldn't you just leave me alone?"

Zelena pulls herself to the bars so that their noses were almost touching, "Because you can have everything while I am stuck with nothing! I have spent time with you and I am so tired of you pining for your son's love and for your parents and your pirate! I want you to be left with nothing! I want you to feel like you won't amount to anything because that is how I feel every damn day! I am tired of losing! It is my time to win!"

She spins around and leaves a stunned Emma crying behind her. She sits back down and watches as the green smoke envelopes her and speaks her last thought out loud, "Hook, please, believe in me."

A/N: So it seems the fairy tales are going back to reality. How will they all react and will they find the truth?

Please Enjoy and review. :)
