Chapter 11

" We need your help to help our friend whose been kidnapped and taken to the Underworld." Elsa explained to the old troll.

The other trolls gasped and looked frightened looking at each-other and whispering all sorts of things.

Henry smiled at them.

He loved the trolls and wished he could stay and hang out with them more but he knew rescuing his mom was more important right now.

Grand Pabbie nodded thinking quietly to himself. " I trust you know there is no way to just go to the underworld." He began. Elsa nodded in understanding as did Killian.

" The only way to get to the underworld is through a portal, I think I have a draft of the Ale of Seonadiah somewhere." He said before walking back to a group of rocks and searching for some kind of vile.

The rest of the trolls watched the group with a lot of interest. Some of the younger ones going up to Henry and talking to him. " " What are you some kind of pirate?" one of the trolls asked Henry looking at him curiously. Henry giggled and looked back at Hook who smirked. " Yeah something like that and I'm on an adventure to save my mom." He said. The little troll gasped and looked quite envious of Henry and his situation. " I've always wanted to be a pirate! I think they are so cool!" all the trolls gushed. They were so interested in new stories.

" Well, I have found the vial." Grand Pabbie said finally pulling out a bottle with a black liquid in it, and handing it to Elsa. "This should get you to there but save some of the potion so you can return from the underworld because if you use all of it you will not have a way back." He cautioned.

" I am sure you all know that going to the underworld is a rare occurrence for any human, but going twice, well no one has ever done that before so for that I can not tell you what the outcome will be but keep each other close and your enemies far away." The old troll said.

" Thank you so much for your help." Elsa said to him.

Grand Pabbie was a friend of Anna and Kristoff's more so than Elsa, but Elsa remembered a long time ago that the troll helped her with her magic when she was very young so she had great respect for the troll. " Okay then well I think we better get going or else we may be too late to get to Emma." Regina said. Everyone nodded their agreement and said goodbye to the trolls.

Killian held back, his thoughts wandering to what Emma was feeling.

He remembered his time in the Underworld and he couldn't imagine what she was going through.

He missed her so much it made him crazy.

She was his anchor and he needed her by his side otherwise he had nothing to live for.

He had no idea how Henry was coping either, but the lad seemed to be holding himself together better then even Killian could think he would have and that made Kilian feel a little better about the whole situation.

Together the group decided to go to Lake Emerald and journey there in the dark blue lake surrounded by a eerie grave yard. Regina held back and Maximos was along with her. " I wish to come along and offer my assistance. I would like to help." He said to her.

Regina eyed him warily. " Really, You understand we are going to the Underworld, the place of the dead?" She questioned. He sighed, he knew the question was coming, but for some reason Max felt drawn to the former Evil Queen and he wanted to protect her because he had a feeling she also had enemies there.

" I just felt obligated Regina, that is all." He replied giving her one of his dazzling smiles that made her go weak in the knees. She was trying really hard to fight her growing attraction to the man but it was proving a difficult task. His mere presence was enough to make her not think straight. Not even Robin did that to her. The only other person that she could remember doing that to her was ... Daniel."

"I know you are not interested or looking for love, but maybe you could let me come along, I really have no other uses for myself back in my kingdom and this sounds like an adventure I want to be on." he said. Snow smiled at him. " Well we could use all the help we could to save my daughter." She replied to Max who nodded.

" I love adventures, ever since I was a young lad. Adventure always called my name." He said.

Regina nodded and smiled at him. Maybe she would give this guy a chance. It's not like she was in love with him.

She thought to herself. " Are we all ready to go?" Regina asked.

Everyone nodded and waited for Regina to toss the black vial in the river.

They remembered what happened last time and so they had something to reference as to what to expect. " I never thought I'd be going back to this place." Killian muttered to himself but David looked back at him sympathetically. " You and Emma have been through a lot together, when this is all over I think you guys especially need a vacation from reality." He said. Killian nodded his agreement. Regina waved her hands in a protection spell.

She looked back at Snow who gave her a nod stating they were all ready. She threw the vial in the river and everyone held their breath. A purple swirling mass opened and magic filled the realm. Slowly everyone walked to the portal.

" Are you all ready?" Regina asked looking back at the group.

Killian was the first to nod. Followed by Henry, Snow, David Elsa and Max. " This will surely be an adventure I will never forget. " Max says as he enters the portal.

Meanwhile in Hade's lair...

" When are you going to give in Emma?" Hades asks sighing heavily as if there was a huge weight on his shoulders.

Emma was breathing deeply trying not to throw up. The past few hours he had thrown spell after spell at her to try and break her magical protection barrier on her. It was almost working...almost.

She prayed that she would just die, she could feel her magic leaving her body.

The number of spells being thrown at her were way too much for her body to even take. She was exhausted.

Mentally more so than physically. The only thing holding her alive right now was thinking of Henry and her family and Killian. She had to be strong for them.

She just wanted to close her eyes and never open them. Her once beautiful blonde hair was now a matted brownish blonde that looked like it had been drug through the mud.

Her once ivory skin was now an ashen grey color. She had bruises on both of her cheeks and a cut down her neck that was still dripping with blood.

Meg, who was Hade's personal slave couldn't bear watching this poor girl get tortured because she knew what it felt like.

She turned her face away from the site. " Meg my darling, I have need of you." Hades said walking toward the beautiful woman.
Meg shrunk back not wanting to hear what he wanted to do with her. " What is it?" She barked. She hated him because he took her away from her true love, Hercules who was still out there looking for her somewhere in the underworld.

" I need you to go find a root called Burnstone. It's a root that helps take away any magical barriers and I need it so I can finally get the heart from Miss Swan here." He said. She looked at Emma who looked as though she was falling over from her chained prison. She felt so sorry for her she wanted to help her. Maybe this was her escape. She could run and find help from someone.

There had to be hope. Meg thought silently to herself. She nodded her agreement and left. Emma looked at her with envy as she was able to leave freely from Hade's lair. " I imagine you are tired and hungry Emma." Hades said turning back to the savior. She didn't respond.

She wouldn't give him the satisfaction. " Well, I am not a monster. " He said brushing a finger a crossed the bruise on her cheek making her flinch away. " I will allow you rest in my private chamber. I will also have one of my servant's bring you some food and let you sleep for a few hours.

Then we have more work to be done. I want your heart ready for me when I come for it. " he said smiling. Emma felt her chest tighten at his statement. She was already dead inside, why was he continuing to torment her like this? She thought to herself as she suddenly appeared in a well-furnished bedroom with a very comfortable four poster bed and bathtub In the corner. A vanity stood on the other side and candle's lit the darkened room.

She curled herself in to a small ball and cried like a baby for the first time since she was an orphan. She cried for the pain she was in and the fact that she couldn't hug Henry anymore. She cried because she missed Killian and her parents. She cried because she was afraid of dying alone. Most of all she cried because she felt like she failed at being the savior.
