"M-My heart?" she stuttered out, absolutely shocked at the request. There was a lot she was willing to give up in order to get Elsa back. Hell, she'd give up everything. But she was worried. If she gave up her heart there was a possibility this was a trap, and that would end in her death.

She looked the rock man over slowly, trying to use her magic in order to get any traces of dark magic. The old rock troll must have sensed her discomfort and rushed to assure her. "This land is magically sacred, no dark magic can be performed here."

She breathed a sigh of relief before taking another deep breath. Slowly, and carefully she pressed her right hand into her chest; letting out a gasp as she did so. Sure, she'd ripped out hearts. But taking her own out was rare and strangely, the sensation was never the same as before. The brunette carefully wrapped her hand around the rapidly pulsating organ and ripped it out quickly.

She tensed, riding out the wave of pain she felt from doing so. Opening her eyes she looked down to the heart in her hand, surprised at what she'd found. The organ was no longer completely black, it was mostly red.

"Love." The rock troll spoke up softly, having seen the look of surprise on her face. Her head snapped up quickly, having been lost in her thoughts.

"You must really love the woman if she has almost completely devoid your heart of darkness." He said, internally marveled. "Extremely powerful magic is at work here."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, that the only magic that could have done this is true love's magic."

Regina's features softened significantly as she heard it. True Love. She knew they shared a strong loving bond, and Rumple had said it was true love; but she'd learned not to trust the imp.

She carefully handed her heart over to the troll, watching it beat in his rock hands. He examined it carefully, his eyes widening a bit.

"There is a thin layer of ice encasing the heart, how did you not notice?" he asked her curiously, the two of them looking into the other's eyes. There was a message that was passing between them silently, this is the cause to an effect.

Something is going to happen, and not anything good.

She was blindfolded, being driven somewhere. The drive was long and winding, not to mention extremely bumpy. She was worried, she still couldn't get in touch with her magic.

It was a comfort, the usual hum of magic in her veins. It was the one way she could feel her love. Magic was the connection between them, how she knew her feelings and if she was okay.

The car came to a halt, causing her to lurch forward, hitting her head on something. Whether it was the headrest or the window; she wasn't sure. A squeak came from the door opening on the drivers side, and a cruch was heard as her captor's foot made contact with the ground.

The door next to her opened. "Come on, dear. I'd like to get this done sometime today."

Yes yes, I know this was a bit short and didn't really have anything to do with Elsa's situation. I promise you that next chapter will be mainly Elsa centered since it hasn't been for a while.

As always, rate and review. I love you all and have a great week!
