Regina was woken up by her body hitting the forest floor. Had they arrived at the drop of the point? If so where was it? She wished she could see her surroundings, plan a way to escape.

She felt Ulster's hand on her face, she pulled instinctively back.

"Well fine then you can stay in darkness," he laughed, pushing her face into the dirt.

"Wait, please, no. Please take of the blindfold." Regina garbled she hated how pathetic and weak she sounded.

"All you had to do was ask." He pulled off the material. "And give me a kiss."

Regina pulled back, his face was too close, his rancid breath made her feel sick.

"I don't have to ask you know. I could always leave you alone with my men for a few hours, if you prefer?" Ulster smiled; Regina looked round the leering men around them.

She leaned forward and allowed him to pull her into a kiss. It was too slobbery, and made her feel even more ill. Regina felt hungry, she suddenly realised how dark it was. A whole day must have passed.

The pirates were setting up torches. Ulster pulled away, stroking her hair.

"We are just resting for a few hours; we'll be on our way soon love." Ulster smiled, and walked over to be with his men.

Regina surveyed the area; they were in a clearing in a forest. She could make a run for it, but with her hands tied, they would catch her or she'd be lost in this forest until she died. She knew if she tried anything they would punish her severely.

"Have you got her?" a familiar voice wafted through the trees

Regina couldn't see Greg as the pirates blocked her view, but she knew it was him.

"Yes, sir, she's over there." Ulster said in his best voice, Regina smiled to herself; she enjoyed knowing that big oaf was someone's slave.

Greg came over to her, kneeling down. Regina met his eyes; she couldn't show weakness especially not to him. What he had done to her still haunted her, she had wanted to die then and there, it some ways it would have been the best thing for her. Regina couldn't be weak.

"I bet you wish you'd died on that table." He hissed "At first I wished you had, but this is an even better punishment for a monster like you."

"And what about you? You abducted a child! I….." Regina started, anger burning in her eyes, but Greg silenced her, with his hand.

"Any child of yours is polluted with evil. He deserved what he got, as do you." Greg stood up, and started to leave the clearing. With Regina shouting after him, "What did you do? What did you do to my son? You bastard, if you've hurt him, I'll kill you."

Ulster came over to her, and backhanded her hard. "Be quiet, you're not acting very regal, and it's embarrassing." He smiled; at the look of venom Regina cast him.

"Do you know what they have done with my son?" Regina said trying to control the anger boiling in her.

"Yes, but I don't think you'd be willing to pay the price for that information," Ulster smiled placing his fingers under her chin, forcing her head up.

"What makes you so sure?" Regina said as dignified as possible

Hook and Charming drudged through forest as the sun began to set. Charming wondered how his family was, if Henry was saved, or still eluded them. He wasn't sure Emma could stand yet another dead end. She and Regina had barely been coping. He worried what she would do if her hopes once again fell flat.

"They will probably stop at nightfall, if they haven't reached the meeting spot. So we should be able to catch up with them." Hook said peering through the impending darkness.

"Do you think it's really Pan that wants Regina?" Charming replied, breaking the silence that had been there for their long trek.

"It makes the most sense, but not sure what he would want her for." Hook said, he worried Regina was going to be yet another woman who simply vanished in Neverland.

The two of them were cut short in their speculating by Gold arriving in a cloud of purple smoke.

"Have they found Henry?" Charming immediately asked upon seeing the imp.

"They have, have you discovered where Regina is?" Gold said calmly

"We think we know where she is. How he is?" Charming said, he couldn't care less about Regina right now.

"He is in shock. We must leave for StoryBrooke soon if we don't want him to be taken again, and to aid in his recovery."

"Are you suggesting we leave Regina?" Hook butted in

"No, merely saying if she can't be recovered quickly we return, and send someone after her at a later date. For Henry's sake." Gold said carefully, he was surprised at the Pirates reaction, he thought Hook would be all too happy to leave Regina.

"You go back, I'll get Regina and we'll follow on." Hook said, starting to walk back along the path.

Charming was unsure, leaving the pair of them stranded here, seemed perfect, but it was too callous, Hook had helped them and Regina was Henry's mother.

"How will you get back?" Charming queried, he had to make sure Hook had a plan he could tell Emma and Snow otherwise they would not be allowed to leave.

"The same way I got back last time prince." Hook smiled his all knowing smile, "And don't worry about Andrea. I'll get here later, I like having a woman on each arm."

Charming and Gold watched as Hook disappeared off into the trees, striding confidently.

"Do you think he actually knows what he's doing?" Charming shook his head

"I'm sure he'll find Regina, if he returns with her." Gold smiled "Even I can't predict that."

Gold couldn't there seemed to be no set future for Regina and Hook, but both of them gone was just too perfect.

"We best hurry." Gold said and the two of them set of back towards The Jolly Rodger. Charming was worried what state he would find Henry and Emma in. A small part of him also worried about what was happening to Regina, and if sending Hook after her, would actually help her, or make her situation worse.
