Chapter 4

"Emma?...Emma are you there?" Hitching her breath receiving no answer, Regina looks up towards the door in which their son and his grandfather is staring through, changing her demeanour to an angry one. "We need to get to Emma. Now."

"Use your emotion dearie just like you have done before, except this time, use love rather than hate to trigger your power"

Hearing the dark one's guidance, Regina sighs at first while trying her best to relive her anger over what may have happened to Emma so that she can get to Emma. Shaking her wrists agitated, the brunette then stares towards the locked cell door in the hope of opening it.

"Mom!"

Looking concerned towards her son, the former Queen then follows his eye trail down to her hand which has conjured a white glowball. Regina stares for a moment in shock then blinks abruptly as she snaps back to the task at hand. Throwing the ball directly at the lock causing the shield and keyhole to disappear, the former Mayor smiles and makes a rush towards Henry before pulling him into a tight hug.

Hugging back, the boy grins. "I'm glad you're okay mom, now we can go get ma"

Raising an eyebrow while pulling back but still keeping a hand placed protectively on the boy's shoulder, the brunette questions with a slight smile so that Henry doesn't get the wrong idea and think she's mad. "Ma?"

Rolling his eyes, Henry nods. "Yes, you're mom, she's ma"

"Okay and no"

"No?" Frowning, the boy looks confused.

"No we are not getting ma, I am. You my prince, are going back to Granny's. Rumple and I will get Emma" the former Mayor explains while leading him out of the corridor followed by the imp.

Allowing her son's directions to lead her to Emma's cell, as he knew which cell his blonde mother should be in, the former Queen looks around up to the door, the brunette slides the hatch across and peers in with concern. "She's not there..what the hell have they done"

Seeing the panic in the woman's eyes, Rumple takes her shoulder for reassurance. "They wouldn't hurt their own daughter, this is Snow White we are talking about. She wouldn't have it in her. We just need to keep looking.."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Despite wanting to rip Snow's heart out, Regina found herself actually persuaded by Rumple not to do so with the warning that if she were to go to them head on, they would know that the former Mayor was out and could attempt to strike again. Right now she needed to focus on Emma. Searching every known spot in which the blonde would usually be, her bug, Granny's, even the mansion, the brunette also went into searching the nunnery incase the fairy had her held captive in a room. Returning to Gold's shop, the former Queen appears rather defeated as she leans against the counter. "I need to go and see the Charmings. I cannot find her anywhere and if they have done something-"

"Regina, you know what will happen if you do..they get you, you're back to square one. We need to be careful about this..for Emma's sake and Henry's"

Glancing down, Regina mutters quietly. "She was scared of being sent over the line...what if she was? What if they got it into their heads that sending her back into the real world would solve everything?"

Staring across the counter, Rumple frowns. "And leave Henry behind? They wouldn't do that to the boy let alone their daughter"

"Don't be so certain...I wouldn't have thought that they would lock her up but then again they did ship her off in a wardrobe to Maine" glaring slightly as she speaks, the brunette then huffs. "What do you suggest we do?"

"Something which we should have done in this first place? A locator spell.."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Granny please..."

Watching the young boy plead with her, the older woman chuckles. "If you think puppy eyes are going to get me to say yes, you have another thing coming mister, I've lived with those eyes from Ruby.."

Pouting, Henry tries to take it further. "I just want to get a comic from the store, you can even time me and I will have my phone on me..better yet, I will stay on the phone to you the whole time?"

Sighing, Granny rolls her eyes knowing that she has been brought. "Fine but i want you to talk to me the whole time, got it?"

Nodding eagerly with a smile, the boy grabs his phone out of his pocket and dials while the older woman purses her lips before answering his call. "Okay you can go"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Strolling along Main Street, Henry scans the road for his mother while talking into the phone. "I'm still here Granny..."

"Good, otherwise your mother..either one of them would kill me if something happens!"

Sniggering, the boy gives an eye roll then freezes in his step as he witnesses his blonde mother walk out from the building in which the Charmings live. "..ma?.."

"Henry?"

Ignoring the concern of the older woman, Henry sighs. "Granny I found Emma! Gotta go!" Hanging up before the woman can protest, the boy heads over towards the blonde who is swinging her car keys around her finger while approaching her bug. Running straight across the road, Henry grins. "Ma!"

Seeing the boy run, Emma holds her hand out. "Hey watch it kid..you could have got yourself run over. Where are your parents?"

Eyes widening, the boy stops before reaching the woman intending to hug her but quickly dangles his arms. "I..well...I.." Not sure how to answer as confused, Henry then looks sad realising that she doesn't know him and replies with the hidden meaning of her. "I don't know..exactly.."

"You better get on home then..just in case" The Sheriff smiles politely.

"I-"

"Henry?" Walking up to beside her son, the brunette frowns having used the locator spell suggested. Sure it brought her to Emma but that didn't explain Henry's presence. "Emma, thank god your-"

"Madam Mayor..take it he's your kid? He needs to watch the road better, don't want an accident"

Dropping her mouth open slightly, the former Mayor looks speechless. "..yes...but...thank you" Slowly realising, Regina watches as the blonde enters her bug to drive off before glaring ahead. "I should have know.." Sighing, the former Queen grits her teeth as Henry raises an eyebrow. "Making her forget me? That's one thing but her own son?! Oh there is going to be hell to pay!"

Gulping in audibly, the boy quickly takes his mother's hand in the hope of calming her down.
