Chapter 7

Belle was able to get her hands on some of Rumpelstiltskin's blood, so that's one item on the list we checked off. The dragon scales Regina had tucked away in her apartment made two.

As for the purest's blood and the rejected's symbol—Regina was having some trouble deciding what those might be.

"Emma said it's your choice, Regina," Belle reminds her as they sit together in the library. "It's whoever's blood is the purest to you and same with the other."

Regina bit her lip and shook her head. "But I don't know—"

Belle obviously saw where that was going and stopped Regina. "Alright," she interrupted. "Take a second and think." Regina does as she is told. "Now say the first person that comes to your mind when I ask who in your opinion is 'the purest?'"

Regina took a moment. Then she finally lifted her gaze to meet Belle's, "You."

"What?" Belle's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"You're the first person I thought of," Regina realized. "You may not see it or agree with me, Belle, but to me your blood is the purest."

She was not lying. Belle had done so many good things in her life and she had verged falling victim to darkness so many times—yet she never did. She married the Dark One and managed to bring out his humanity. To Regina, that made her the purest person she knew.

Belle was flustered. "Well, okay then…what's the rejected's symbol in your mind?"

This, Regina thought a lot about. She was silent for minutes before she finally had the slightest clue as to what the rejected's symbol may be in her mind. "Do you remember that rattle Maleficent had for her child?"

"Yes," Belle nodded as she recalled the object. "Is that what the rejected's symbol is for you?"

Regina nodded slowly. "Yeah, I think it is."

"Alright," Belle nodded. "Then I am going to go talk to Maleficent while you work on the potion."

They split up from there. Belle went to find Maleficent and/or Lily while Regina went to her office to begin making the potion.

It wasn't too complicated. Mix the ingredients together and boil the mixture. Regina supposed the hard part was figuring out what the ingredients were but Emma helped with that so it was pretty simple.

Soon enough Belle was back with Maleficent's baby rattle.

"Hey," Regina turned to look at the woman she already knew was Belle.

She was not greeted back with a smile though. Instead Belle's expression was dark and worried. "The Dark One is in town."

"What?" Regina exclaimed, nearly jumping out of her seat.

"They're trying to open a portal, Regina." Belle rushed over to where Regina was. "We have to hurry up and finish this before they jump to another dimension."

"Okay." Regina's mind went into overdrive. She suddenly understood how rushed everything was then and knew she had to hurry. "Did you get the rattle?"

"Yeah," Belle reached into her purse and pulled out the little toy. As she handed it over she said, "I found Maleficent at Granny's and after telling her everything, well she gave it to me."

Regina tossed the toy into the pot and watched it melt due to the magical fire. Before she knew it, the potion was done.

After throwing a vial full into her pocket, Regina ran down to the town square.

She was not going to let the Dark One get away that easily.

"Stop!" Regina yelled as she ran into the town square.

She saw the Dark One starting to open a portal right in front of the clock tower. "You're too late, Regina." They yelled back as they finished opening the portal. Then they turned back to Regina and began slowly walking backwards toward the portal. Regina was running towards them but stopped when she saw that they had a knife in hand.

"Come any closer and Emma dies." Regina froze a good 10 yards away. "I won't die because this body is only a vessel for me but you can be sure as hell Emma will."

Regina didn't know what to do. If she moved, Emma dies. If she doesn't, the Dark One leaves and she will lose Emma. It will take her years to track down the Dark One in the other dimensions and even then who knows what will have happened to Emma.

"Okay," Regina spoke loudly so they could hear her from such a far distance. That's when she had an idea. Reach out to Emma. "Emma?"

"Emma's not here right now."

"Emma, I know you're in there. And I need you to listen to me." Regina urged.

"Didn't you hear me?" The Dark One scowls. "Emma. Is. Not. Here."

"You need to fight," Regina continued. "You need to fight right now because if you don't it's all over. This is it, Emma. Fight for me."

Regina was sure it was over. The Dark One was going to win. She was going to lose Emma and everything she'd done would have been all in vain.

Until the Dark One hunched over in pain. Regina smiled as they slowly lost control and Emma came back to her. When she stood up straight again, Regina could see the light in Emma's eyes.

"Give me the vial, Regina."

She ran towards the savior and handed over the potion. Emma chugged the entire thing and in an instant a dark cloud of smoke left her body. It transferred to the air and then disappeared.

The next thing Regina knew, Emma was falling into her arms. The poor girl was so week from being possessed for so long. But all was right now because Emma was back and so what if they had to sort some things out? They were together again.
