So this is my last chapter. Unless I decided to write in March after OUAT starts up again. Hope you've all enjoyed, please review. And I'm starting a new Regina fic soon. Its on its way. Thank you for all the follows, favourites and reviews. xx
"Regina, you need to wake up. Please, I've got you please wake up." Killian's pleading voice called through the darkness to Regina.
She forced her eyes open, she was in his arms, and they were running.
"What's happening?" Regina asked,
"Pan, he cast the curse." Killian said, putting Regina down, wrapping his arm around her waist, to help her walk.
"We can't stop the curse. It was made that way." Regina said fighting tears, if Pan succeeded she knew everything she ever loved would be gone.
"The others have gone to Gold, he might have a way." Sasha said quietly
"We could get out you know, me, you, Sasha, Neal, Emma and Henry. We can leave town." Killian said hesitantly,
"No, we can't, Pan will catch up with us." Regina sighed, "Also…" Regina paused thinking about what she was about to say. She couldn't believe that she now felt that Charming and Snow were family. She had wasted so many years on hatred.
"Also what?" Sasha asked
"Nothing. We need to catch up with the others."
The three of them walked in silence to the main street, they were met by the others standing dumbstruck.
"What's going on?" Regina asked, then she noticed Belle on the ground sobbing uncontrollably. "Rumple." She gasped
Sadness gripped her, she could not believe he was dead. He had done many horrendous things to her, but he had always been there, been her teacher, her ally. Even when they were enemies he had played a huge role in her life.
"Pan's dead." Snow said, "Is the curse over?"
"The curse is coming." Leroy shouted running towards them, "Coming in fast from the forest."
"You can stop the curse Regina." Neal said, passing her the scroll, "Poppa said so." He added quietly, looking at the spot his father had made the ultimate sacrifice for them all.
Regina took the scroll, and saw everything she had to do. She wanted to collapse, the pain was too much, but now she had to be strong, for her loved ones.
"Emma get the car, we need to go to the outskirts of Storybrooke." Regina said sternly, she did not want any objections.
Regina began marching in the direction of the town line, Killian close behind her.
"What do you have to do Regina? I know there is a price, tell me."
Regina kept walking ignoring Hook's badgering.
"Regina, please?" he asked again as they reached the townline the others behind them.
"I have to give up what I love most." Regina shouted
"Henry." Hook said
Regina nodded eyes filled with tears.
"And you to."
Emma pulled up to the line in the battered yellow beetle. Her and Henry climbed out and came over to Regina.
"What is it Regina?" Emma asked
"You and Henry have to leave, it's the only way to stop the curse. We will all return to fairy-tale land." Regina took Emma's hand, "I will give you and Henry good memories, a life where you never gave him up."
Emma pulled Regina into a hug, and whispered thanks.
Henry hugged Neal, then turned to Regina, as Emma went to her parents. Henry hugged Regina tightly, she kissed his forehead.
"I love you, I'll always be there when you need me." Regina whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"You two need to leave." Regina said,
Emma and Henry saying their final goodbyes climbed into the car. Sasha turned to Regina and hugged her, smilling at her, eyes full of sorrow.
"Hook, you won't remember how you feel for me." Regina said
"I can feel it again." Killian smiled, and kissed Regina
Regina tore up the scroll, and turned her back on her son leaving her life, as the green curse clouds rolled in.
As the smoke cleared, and the town disappeared, Sasha sat alone on the tarmac, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't bear the idea of telling Regina she was not coming with them. She did not belong to magical worlds, this was her world. A world of loneliness.
