I hope you enjoy. This chapter is rather sad and also a little shorter than usually. I hope it's still okay:)

I thought about making Neal suffer longer so don't be sad that the most voted (Neal gets killed by Emma) isn't in this chapter yet but the second most voted (Torture Whips and such things) is.

Anyway, Enjoy and get your tissues, or not:)

Slowly golden light engulfed Regina and blinded the group. When the light faded the bed was empty. Cora sobbed louder and broke down on the bed. Emma fell onto her knees and started sobbing too. "She… she can't… she promised she won't… promised she won't leave us.",Emma said crying and Snow hugged David and cried into his chest.

Cora grabbed Regina's latest pillow and hugged it tightly to her while Gold hid his face behind his hands and muffled his cries. Their mourning was interrupted by Ruby who called Emma.

"Ems? What should I do with Neal?" Anger rose in Emma and she gave Henry Ana. "Keep him in place. I'll take care of him.",she said and Gold looked up. "Don't." "Oh I will. He killed the love of my life. He destroyed my chance of a happy ending.",Emma growled and stormed out of the house.

When Emma arrived in the station she saw Ruby in front of the cells. "Is he awake?" "No.",Ruby answered and Emma opened the cell and kicked Neal in his balls. He cried out and opened his eyes. "She is gone because of you! You sick asshole!",Emma screamed and forced him onto his knees. "Maybe we should let you suffer the same fate before I kill you." Neal's eyes widen and he started sobbing. "You don't get to sob! Regina may but not you! You are sick! You are disgusting.",she said and kicked in his stomach. "Please. I did it to save us." "You did it because I don't know… We didn't need saving from Regina. And now she is gone because of you.",Emma shouted and grabbed him. She brought him to the bars and cuffed him on them.

"You will pay.",Emma said and searched a crowbar. When she came back Ruby stared at her. "Regina… is she really dead?",she asked quietly. Emma just nodded and went to Neal. "I'll break every fucking bone in your body… be happy that I don't have scalpels here because you definitely would lose what you proudly call penis.",she hissed and hit his arm with the crowbar. He cried out loudly and Emma hit him at the same place again. She almost could hear the crack of his arm bone. She hit him again. This time aiming for his fingers and she smiled when she heard the painful cry. "Doesn't feel so good to be with a sociopath, right?",she asked him mockingly and he started to cry. "If you cry I'll just be worse.",Emma hissed and he tried to muffle them.

After hours of Neals screams Emma's arm tired out and she ordered Dr. Whale who she kicked in the stomach too before she let him to Neal. She left the station and went to the Rabbit Hole where she got drunk and angrier every second. Dr. Whale nursed Neal. "Did our plan work?",he asked Neal quietly. "Yes.",Neal hissed when Whale touched one of his broken fingers. "Then they soon can be overpowered and killed. I wonder when Greg and Tamara come.",he said and Neal smiled wickedly. "It will definitely be fun." "Thank God,Regina is finally dead. She would have destroyed our plans easily." "Nah, I raped her. You should have seen her. I wiped her happy smile out of her face and she just laid there and let it happen.",Neal said and laughed.

"Soon they all will be dead and finally the world is free of magic. Or at least this world.",Whale answered and finished the bandages. "They'll be here tomorrow evening. Don't get yourself killed." "I'll try.",Neal said and they shared a smile before Whale went home.

Cora and Gold were sitting in Regina's study. They hugged each other and cried. They never felt this hopeless. This destroyed. Always they had something to fight for but not this time. This time they lost the only person who were really important to them. This time they really lost a part of their family. "She can't be gone…She can't be trapped in this fire room… She can't.",Cora said and Gold closed his eyes.

He saw his little one. He saw how she slept in her crib and giggled in her sleep. He saw how she grew up and became a wonderful, kind-hearted woman. He saw her eyes when they looked at him with hope after her stable boy's death. He saw a good-looking woman who challenged him every day. He saw his broken daughter after Ana's birth. But one Image was especially in his mind. He would always see her in his arms crying and asking for his approval of being gay. He would always see her short happy smile when he told her that he loved her no matter what.

"Did I told you that she was scared about being openly gay?",he asked Cora, wanting to share his best memory with Regina. Cora shook her head and sniffled. "She cried like you right now… and explained that Neal beat her and I figured out that she was in love with Emma. She looked so ashamed… I assured her that we would love her no matter who she would love and she smiled slightly. She was happy when I told her that we love her and that we would never leave her… In the end we really never left her. We stayed with her until her last breath…"

"I love you, Cora." "I love you, too.",Cora sobbed and he held her close. "We will make it. We will give Regina her peace in heaven and we will be happy somehow one day.",Gold said and stroke Cora's cheek. She stared up at him and nodded. "I will seek revenge…",she said and he kissed her softly. "I know, me too." "He's your son…" "No, he lost that privilege when he raped our daughter. He is just a rapist for me.",Gold said coldly and Cora sighed.

Snow,David,Henry and Ana returned to their home and sat down onto the couch. "She is dead…",Snow said and stared at one point. "Dead… she'll never come back… she won't snap at me again… she… No!" She cried like everyone in this evening and David held her. He thought about Reginas and his encounters and smiled.

"When you two were trapped in the Enchanted Forest Regina taught me too cook. I was scared to get the Lasagna out of the oven and she just looked at me with disbelief and got it out herself. Afterwards she said: You should get balls, Charming. But I dare you to steal mine… she actually giggled about her own secret joke and took my fear of the heat by making fries the next day. She told me that I should grow them fast or there wouldn't be dinner and laughed when I jumped back like a little girl when I opened the door of the oven. She pushed me back and I got the fries out. Afterwards I wasn't scared anymore but she still said I should grow me some balls before you come back…"

Snow looked up at him and kissed him softly. "Thank you…",she said. "You should say that on the funeral.",Henry whispered and David nodded. "I will. What were your best memory with her?",he asked.

"I was 6 and had a crush on a girl in the first class. Mom made cookies which I could give her but I never dared to give her them until Mom came one time in class kept her 5 minutes longer and gave her the cookies. She told her that I baked them myself and we often hung out afterwards…"

"That's sweet.",Snow said and sighed. "She was such a romantic when she wasn't married to my father… I saw her and Daniel often under a tall apple tree gazing at the stars, holding each other lost in their own world… I wished I had that too and thought no one would be this to me like Daniel was to Regina but I found David… she may tried to kill me but she gave me one advice once. Trust your heart even though it could bring you in danger, better die with your beloved than watch him die. I know that she told me that because she suffered but she is right. I'd rather die with you than watching you die." David kissed her forehead and both sighed.

"I hope that she finds a way out of this fire room. I hope that she finds Henry Sr. and will wait for all of us.",Henry said and Snow smiled. "She'll surely wait for us. She would never leave without you." Henry gave Ana to Snow and went in his room to write his farewell speech.

Cora and Gold wanted Regina's funeral at her birthday. On the 31st december. Many people mourned for Regina's loss. They called consistently Gold or the Charmings but they were mourning alone. Every one tried to deal with the whole situation in another way. Emma got drunk, Henry wrote poems, Snow laid in bed all day, David cooked food in the oven, Cora was staring at one of Regina's pictures with Henry and her and Gold took care of Regina's christmas present which he bought for her.

They knew that they would have to carry on and live their lives but they weren't ready yet. Regina touched them all in a way they couldn't describe. Even the towns people who hated her such a long time. Maybe her death wasn't that pointless because they all had learned something in these past days. That death may cut the connection between two living people but couldn't destroy the love and caring, and Love was a powerful magic. No one knew how powerful really.

TBC…?

Preview:Greg and Tamara come in town. Someone new will disturb all their lives.

That she isn't there doesn't mean that she is gone ;)

Mistakes are mine but we have 12:32 am! :D
