Regina sat up, pain shooting through her back to her neck where the poisonous dart had hit her. It was dark out. No moon, few stars, just darkness. All around her everyone else was beginning to stir. With them came a rage unlike any other. The effects of whatever she had been shot with had worn off and she quickly got back to her feet, sending magic across the yard, healing the others. She was actually surprised half of them were still alive. But right now she was enraged and didn't dwell on it. Fire sprang to life in her hands, raging up her arms. Emma sat up, white electricity sparking across her skin, matching her anger at whoever had dared to take the cub from the lioness. Now they would have to feel the full force of one very pissed off pride. Regina made her way to the road and pressed her fingers to the ground, highlighting the truck's tracks, turning them bright yellow.

"Regina! Wait!" Emma called.

Regina turned around and looked at her lover before kissing her roughly. "Tend to your family and to the others." She commanded. "Please, make sense of this. I'm going to find out where those bastards went." Emma nodded. She conjured Braulio next to her and mounted up, taking off down the street. The trail of the kidnappers extended to the edge of town and she thought they might've left Storybrooke altogether, but the trail suddenly veered off into the woods and she followed it until it ended in a clearing, the truck laying abandoned next to the telltale signs of a portal on the ground. She scowled and returned to the mansion. Jackson was busy ripping apart the backyard while Zelena and Evie watched to make sure he didn't hurt himself. It almost scared her a little to see the normally composed man lose control, but she felt like doing the same honestly. Regina stormed into the house and found the others in the living room, the bolts, arrows and bullets they had been shot with were on the table. "They went through a fucking portal."

"We need to go find out where." Emma said.

"We'll go." Rose said, motioning to Mal and Max. "We have the best eyes and I'm sure she knows more about this portal thing than I do." The dragon teleported them away.

"What do we know?" Regina asked, crossing her arms and starting to pace. Every second they wasted was a second that her son was out of her sight. She would make those bastards pay.

"Who else knew we were coming today?" Grace asked.

"Everyone that was here." Emma answered. "Besides... my parents."

"If you were thinking who would have told someone else about your arrival in Storybrooke, then look no further. Snow would've told anyone who asked her." Regina said, shaking her head. "They had to have been watching us."

"You're right." Xander said. "This was a very systematic attack. They knew to take out the magic users first, then us, brought someone to distract the dogs. Used a variety of weaponry, missed any arteries, poison tipped to knock us out."

"It's the kids." Grace said softly. She looked at Emma. "They wanted the children, but if they wanted to kill us, I'm sure we would be dead. That means they know who we are, who you are."

"Doesn't explain who they are." Emma replied.

"It's probably because of me." Regina said. "There's no telling who I pissed off in the past, and all of you paid for it. Our son, our nephew is paying for it right now!"

"Hey." Emma pulled her onto the couch next to her. "I'm just as angry as you are right now but you need to calm down and think clearly. If they are from your past, you know something, you remember something. Even if you don't think you do."

"Regina, come with me." Jacob said. She got up and followed him into the kitchen where he told her to sit to the table and dimmed the lights. "Close your eyes." He instructed. "Sometimes our subconscious picks up details our conscious minds aren't aware of. Think back to the attack. I know you were drugged, but try. It could help since no one else saw much." She nodded, not truly understanding but following his instructions anyway. She closed her eyes and placed herself back on the ground, laying next to a barely conscious Emma. "What do you smell?" Jacob asked. "

"Dirt." She answered. "And blood." The stench was almost overwhelming.

"What do you hear?"

"Gunshots, screaming. Henry...he was calling out for me. I-I couldn't- i couldn't move." Everything felt heavy, nothing would obey her command no matter how hard she struggled. She could see the men pick up her son and nephew and run to the truck.

"Pause." Jacob said. "What do the guys look like?"

"I can't see their face."

"Why can't you see their face?"

"They're wearing a cloak."

"A cloak? Not a jacket?"

"A cloak." She said firmly. "Like in the Enchanted Forest. Their clothes are black. They look like leather, but there's a symbol." It was on the chest plate. She could barely make it out.

"What is it a symbol of?"

"I don't know. I can't see. Emma's ass is in the way."

"Yes, you can. What is it a symbol of, Regina?"

Regina struggled to see it. She almost wanted to throw Emma for being in the way but she noticed that one of the men were closer, enticing one of the German Shepherds away from the one stealing Henry. She could see the chest piece. "It's a tree. With 3 stars in the branches." Regina blinked, finding herself back in the kitchen with Jacob.

"A tree with 3 stars in the branches. What does that mean?"

"I have no idea." She quickly got up and ran into her study to grab a piece of paper and a pen and sketched out the symbol she saw. It looked familiar but she couldn't place where she'd seen it. "Fuck! Think, Regina!" She hissed to herself.

Emma knocked before stepping in. "Grandma's back. She said they left their weapons but they were out of ammo. Nothing else in the van to tell us who they are. Mal checked where the portal was and-"

"They're from the Enchanted Forest, I know. MAL!"

"I swear to the gods I will murder the next person who screams my name unless they're naked and under me." Mal yelled, coming into the room. "What?"

"Don't be such a bitch, Baby Mama, I'm trying to find out who took my son and attacked us."

"I know, but yelling my name at the top of your lungs isn't going to help us do that any faster."

"What was it they used to subdue us?"

"Some kind of poison. There are many that could stop the flow of magic. They knew exactly who to take out."

Regina scowled. They had been watched, scouted, hunted. She should've been more vigilant, more prepared. She was the Evil Queen after all. Countless people wanted her head. But if it was about her they could've killed her easily. But no, they take the children. Not even all the children. Grace and Roland were just fine. So what was the point? Emma touched her shoulder, bringing her out of her thoughts and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "You didn't recognize any scents, did you?"

"Yes, but I'm not telling you." Mal arched an eyebrow.

"The sarcasm is not necessary, dragon." Regina hissed. "Your child isn't missing."

"Yours isn't either. They were abducted." Mal replied. "And I want to find them just as much as you do. I didn't recognize any scents but the poison hasn't completely worn off for me. They must've doubled my dose. Lily and Ruby couldn't detect anything significant either."

She held up the picture to Mal. "Recognize this?"

Mal frowned. "Vaguely. Why?"

"It was on the breastplate of the men who attacked us."

The dragon stared at the picture for a moment before she looked at Regina. "Andalasia."

"What the hell is an Andalasia?" Emma asked.

"A kingdom in the Enchanted Forest to the far west. Too far to hold any importance to any of our kingdoms but last I checked it was pretty powerful. There is no way you would've had any need for any diplomatic talk with Andalasia." The dragon frowned. "Why would they attack us and take Henry and Elias?"

Regina thought for a moment before cursing. She looked at Emma. "Do you remember when I told you about Giselle? About her being married off to a king?"

"Yeah?"

"That was the kingdom she became queen of."
