Emily very slowly turned around and saw the look in Emma's eyes. There were a mix of hate and sadness. She knew that at least one, if not both were directed towards her. She didn't want to go to them, but she knew there was no getting out of this one. She made her way over the her family and gave a deep, breathy sigh. She was waiting for the onslaught of venomous words. The wanted to be comforted by her mom and she was. Zelena's figure went over and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Then the words started.

"Don't you dare touch my daughter. You have no right here, Zelena," Emma spat.

Zelena's figure slunk away from Emily, but Emily had another idea. Em went and leaned into the embrace and placed her hand over Zelena's. She knew there were going to be consequences to her actions, but she honestly didn't care about any of that. She wanted to have her mom close, but she could see the fire in her ma's eyes.

"Emily, is this the reason why you killed Regina? You have been working with her sister."

"Can I please tell her? She has a right to know," Emily says, directing it to the person behind her.

"If you don't, Snow will, so you might as well tell her, dear."

"Tell me what?" Emma finally asked.

"You are probably not going to believe me and this does not excuse my actions, but ma, this is mom. You have been sleeping with Zelena since they switched."

"EMILY!" The form behind her yelled. "That was incredibly crass and I want you to apologize."

"But it's true. How am I supposed to tell her if she doesn't hear it in her language? She has to know and she should have figured it out by now. She should know when it is you or some crazy person that is determined to kill you."

"Zelena is not trying to kill me. She wants to ruin my life so there is nothing I can make up for. She was planning horrible things and I have to figure this out. I thought I told you to stay out of sight."

"But, mom, ma was yelling at you and you looked hurt. I am not going to stand idly by and let that happen."

"I would have been fine. Now, I need you to find me and bring her to dear Hades. We have much to discuss."

Emily left on her little journey to find Zelena wandering around the town. She didn't want to see her grandmother yet because there are still some issues, but nothing that horrible. She went to Granny's diner and the Blind Witch scared the living daylights out of her. That bitch is crazy as fuck. She wanted to eat Emily because she was strong and lean with little fat. That is just a weird conversation in a general sense. She went to the library to see i she was there and then the cemetery. There is a grave for everyone in the Underworld and she stumbled upon her own. She felt a twinge of pain, but knew that this shouldn't last forever. She kept looking and even resorted to seeing Pan, but when Zelena was no where in sight she had to go to her grandmother.

Emily was walking into the building when she heard laughing coming from the office. She was about to walk in, but decided to be polite and knock. She heard a soft sound and took it as her acceptance in, so she casually walked in and there she saw Zelena looking like Regina.

"Emily, what are you doing here?"

"I need Zelena."

"Dear, I don't know where she is."

"Actually, she is right in front of you."

"No this is Regina. Your mother. Why would you say that?"

"I didn't kill my mother and send her here. I killed her sister, who was disguised as her. I can get Regina and then we can all have a Mills talk."

"Fine. Get her, but I don't believe you."

"MOM! We need you!" Emily yelled. She was then shown a purple and black smoke cloud and Zelena appeared. Cora was slightly confused by this. Zelena had a green cloud and Regina has purple. This was a very interesting conversation.

"Emily, what's going on? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but grandma wouldn't let me take Zelena. She needs proof that you two are switched."

"Mother, now is not the time to argue. I need to switch us back and find a way to make Emily return to the living world with us. She was actually killed. So, can I please take Zelena with me so I can figure this out."

"How can I be sure you aren't lying about this?"

"For one of my birthday gifts you gave me Snow White's heart in a box, but daddy switched it with another. When I sent you back, you took daddy with you and I was alone. I didn't want to be you, while Zelena wanted to be exactly like you. She would have been the Cora Mills' poster child."

"Okay, now that is all the proof I need. Take her and return as yourself. I expect Emily to be with you, so she can confirm everything. Emily, I'm sorry I didn't believe you. Now you need to leave soon, so get to work."

Emily and Regina took Zelena back with them. Emma was still confused, but didn't question it. Zelena was not very helpful, but when the life of her daughter was brought into the mix. she had no objections. Regina was surprised at her daughter's boldness, but knew it would have been a bluff. They had to have both casters chant the original spell and go from there. Zelena had to teach the right pronunciation to her sister and it was very difficult to understand. Once the two sisters were back to normal, Z was sentenced to eternity in misery. She was sent down to Hell and that was the end of it. Emily and Regina went back to Cora as usual. They needed a way to get Emily to return to the living world, but they forgot that Emily killed Regina's body. Regina was also stuck in the Underworld. They started to worry about what everyone else will think, but came up with a plan to keep all of them safe. They were going to lie about it and hope that Emma would not pick up on it. They were going to stay in this world a little longer, so they can bond with Cora, but everyone else should go back. There was still a kingdom and they were stupid enough to not leave one royal with the living. Emma of course didn't believe a word that came out of the mother-daughter duo's mouth, but couldn't really do anything to oppose. She already yelled at both of them when they were trying to help one another out.

Emily and Regina said goodbye to everyone. The rest of the royal family went on the Ferryboat and returned to their world. Emily went to confront Pan about getting the dead to return with the living. Regina did the same thing with her mother. Cora started to apologize about not realizing that Zelena was actually her and vice-verse. Regina brushed it off and continued to search for answers. There was nothing new that came up. It was a one-for-one trade. A life for a life, and no one should be sentenced to death to get someone else to live. There had to be a loophole. Emily had a grave stone and she couldn't leave as long as she had one. They did look for one with Regina's name, but there was not a single headstone with Regina Mills on it. Emily deduced that her mom could return at any time, she even insisted on it, but her mother did not want to leave her child again.

The two spent so much time figuring out ways to leave, that they bonded over a common goal. They knew they needed to get back to their family and that nothing would stop them. Cora could see so many similarities between the two, but felt like their search is pointless. There was no leaving without a trade or the universe will become unbalanced. Emily had to get her mother out of here before it was too late for either of them to leave this dreaded place. While they are working on simple answers, Regina is teaching Emily small magic spells, to help advance her abilities. Emily was a quick study and could do simple things, like with fire and levitation, but nothing more advanced. Emily was worried about this whole thing. She didn't want to leave her mom, but she needed to keep her safe. Emily would remain in that realm, until her mother was safe. Her unfinished business is with Regina Mills, the former Evil Queen, and current queen.

When her mother was asleep, she snuck out of the house they were at and made a deal with the devil. Emily would stay there and do everything she is told, in exchange for her mother's life. Her mom would go free and she would be safe from the wrath of the gods. She knew she would be in trouble if she ever saw her mom again, but her brother and other mother need their queen more than her daughter needs her mom. Regina was to leave against her will in the morning and Emily was to be left alone.

Regina woke up to see her daughter was sleeping on the floor. Emily had a habit of doing that when she was scared, but never wanted to wake her mom up. Regina just started at the girl who looked so much like her. She wants all of this to be okay and be able to have her family again. Emily woke up at the same time every day and today was no different. Emily looked directly into her mother's eyes and Regina saw it. Regret. Emily did something and she was suffering from it.

"Emily, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, but it was the only way. I didn't want to, but they need you."

"Emmy, calm down. What did you do?"

Emily broke out crying. She had never cried openly to anyone. She managed to say something in between sniffles. "You...are...going...back...to...them."

"Emily," Regina said more forcefully, "What did you do?"

"They are coming and you will be safe."

"What are you talking about?"

At that moment, a gust of wind swept Regina off her feet. Emily was firmly planted to the ground. Regina looked horrified and it then dawned on her what had just happened. She was going to leave her daughter alone in the world. Emily was willingly sacrificing her life to keep her family safe. Regina was going towards the window, when she grabbed onto the chaise lounge. She clawed at the material with everything she had. She was not going to give up and roll over. She was going to fight. Emily walked to her mom and held onto the hands of the woman, who took such good care of her.

"Mom, you need to let go."

"No, I won't leave you."

"Emma and Henry need you more than me. I will always be with you, but I can't keep worrying about you. I might be able to move on with grandfather. I will love you everyday for the rest of my time. I am never going to leave you and I will sacrifice myself every time to make sure your safe."

"I'm not losing you again. You've been through too much to have me take it away again."

"You're not taking it away. I am giving it. You will figure out a way to honor me. You need to go, or we will both be in danger."

"I love you, Emily Remma Swan-Mills. I will love you forever."

"I love you, mommy. Let go."

And Regina did so. She let go of the hands of her daughter and returned to the living world. She was greeted by her wife and son. They looked so relieved to see their family, but then the smile faded. They noticed that another brunette was missing. Emma was the first to speak.

"Where is Emily?"

"She is still there. She can't come back without a trade."

"She is still in danger. Zelena was not the miasma."

"What?"

"The creature was summoned from a unknown world. It couldn't have been Zelena at all because she can't go to this world. This world that it came from, does not exhist in this dimension at all. It comes from a world with magic, but it is created from the hate and sadness of the host. Emily is its host until she moves on. She will not be safe alone. She is now exposed to this and she has no one to protect her."

"What? No. No. No. I need to get back to her. I will make the trade. I can't have her do this. She needs me and I left her in that dreaded place. She is hurting and it will grow. She was manipulated and we all fell for it. I need to get back to her. How could I have been so blind? She sacrificed her life-span so she could protect me, but put herself into more danger. I should be protecting her."

A/N: Emily is now an open target for the miasma. Zelena was never the creature, she just used that weakness to expose them all to their downfall. What will happen? I am leaving that partially up to the readers. Comment what you want to happen and I will see if I can come up with the ending you all want. Reviews are appreciated.
