Regina:

There was little they could do now. Every magical virtuoso in the city had been to the sealed vault and each in turn had shaken their heads sadly saying there was no way to break the curse without Cora.

Emma could sit against the wall by herself now and was slowly forming the ability to speak through her ripped and raw throat again.

Regina had spent the better part of the night closer to The Evil Queen then she had allowed herself in a long time, furious and snarling in her trap.

"This is ridiculous!" She bellowed yet again, "There must be some way to get through this." Regina crackled a shock toward the barrier yet again and yet again was only met fire with fire.

"Regina, stop it." Emma rasped, "You're going to kill us."

Regina spun on her heels wanting to snap, wanting to bite and devour but bit it all back and the still pale face. "You're right. But someone has to DO something!"

Snow remained just on the other side of the barrier, looking heartsick and torn nodding but there was nothing to say. They all knew that David was searching the town now doing his best to locate Regina's mother. It just seemed as though she simply wasn't there.
