Regina Mills Dark One
Chapter 7 Regina VS the Darkness Part 2
Regina's eyes opened during the early morning. She turned to see Emma was still fast asleep and decided to whisk herself away to her own home. As she walked into her bathroom, Rumple's face graced her in the mirror.
"Could you do me a favor and leave me alone?"
"Oh, Regina, when will you learn that I will never leave you alone as long as you're the Dark One? I am part of the package when the darkness accepts you."
"I don't accept this!"
"Well, dearie, you have a poor way of showing it. So far, you've killed three people, and you imprisoned your family and friends. You also tossed your soul mate around like she's a little dolly!"
"You are very annoying! Do you have an off switch?"
Regina walked out of her bathroom back into her bedroom, and Rumple appeared in the door frame. "Wrong again, I show up when you have a big decision to make. You are thinking about Emma. What are you going to do with your love for her? What are you going to do when you decide to give in to the darkness and get rid of the baby?"
Anger built up in the brunette as she turned to face the imp. "I am not getting rid of the baby. I am going through this pregnancy, and I will have the baby with Emma by my side without the darkness in me. I am not going to give in to the darkness. Do you understand me?"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you with all the rage churning inside of you."
"Leave me alone!"
Regina shot a fireball at Rumple, only for it to go into the hall. She fell to her knees, and the tears broke free.

-Emma's Bedroom-
The sunlight peeked through the curtains causing the sleeping Sheriff to stir. She stretched and realized the other side of the bed was empty.
"Regina?"
Emma sat up and suddenly disappeared.
-Regina's Bedroom-
Emma appeared in Regina's house in a room that she concluded as the Mayor's. She saw the brunette on the floor in tears.
"Regina, what the hell?"
Emma took her into an embrace, and Regina just cried as the blonde rocked her to soothe her.
"I can't take it anymore, Emma! I have the voices of each Dark One telling me how I should accept the darkness and get rid of the baby! Rumple keeps bugging me, saying that he will always show up when I have a big decision to make. I'm so sorry that I sound whiny, but these damn pregnancy hormones."
"Regina, I decided that it ends today. I can't see you like this anymore! You are fighting so hard, and when you get two steps ahead, one wrong move sets you three steps back. It will be over soon, babe. I promise."
"Emma, how did you get here? I have wards set up around the house."
"I have no idea. All I know was that I was in my bed in my room, then I was disappearing, and I showed up here."
Regina cried harder, and then Emma put it together and placed her hand on Regina's belly.
"It was you that brought Ma here, wasn't it, my little nugget."
The brunette chuckled, and Emma continued to talk to the baby, "You knew Mommy needed someone and brought Ma over. I already love you, but you just made me love you even more."
"Emma, I can't wait for this to be over so we can be a family."
"It will be over soon. I promise."
Regina quickly got up, and Emma furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Um…Regina? Are you alright?"
"Ruby is outside. You told her to come here?"
"What? No, I don't know why she's here."
"Emma, don't play dumb with me."
"Regina, I'm not playing dumb with you! I seriously don't know why she's here or how she figured out that I'm here with you!"
"I'll let her in, but you unleashed my fury."
Her wings stretched out, and she shot up through the ceiling, leaving a hole, and Ruby ran up the stairs into the hallway.
"What happened here?"
"We just pissed off Regina. No telling what she's going to do now."

-The Mines-
"It smells lie drunken sea dogs on a hot day at sea in here!"
David replied, "It smells like rotten meat in here."
"I need to puke!" Henry attempted to hold his breath and control the bile that was slowly traveling up.
"Everyone stay calm. Emma will be here soon."
"Oh, she'll be here, but one of you won't live long enough to see that."
Snow walked up to the bars of her cell. "Regina, please, no!"
Regina smiled evilly and walked up to Hook's cell. "Guyliner, Guyliner, Guyliner. Emma will never be free of your charm, boyish good looks, and rum breath. You will always be in my way for me to have Emma all to myself."
She put a magical chokehold on him and raised him.
"Mom!"
"Regina!"
"Put him down!"
Regina turned around. "Emma, I'm so glad you can make it."
"Put him down, Regina," Emma walked up to the Dark One, "You don't want to do this. Think about how much it will hurt you."
"Oh, Emma, I'm just getting rid of my competition."
"Leave the pirate alone, your Majesty!"
Granny and Red appeared from the dark tunnels. Granny held her crossbow armed and ready.
"Ah, you brought your wild puppies with you!"
"That's it!" Granny shot her crossbow, and Regina caught the arrow with her free hand.
"You should know better than that, Eugenia. That toy won't do anything to me. But, I know what I can do."
Crack! Thud!
Henry, Emma, Red, Granny, Snow, and David stood in shock.
"How's that possible? That arrow was laced with squid ink!"
Emma's face scrunched up, "Uh…about that! I took out that arrow."
"Emma!"
"Granny, this is my fight. I need to do this alone."
"I agree, Eugenia, this is Emma's fight. Now you and your grand puppy need to go fetch three prisoners."
With a wave of her hands, Regina made everyone disappear, leaving her and the Savior alone.
"Regina, what the hell?"
"Don't worry; we're about to go where I sent them."
"Where's that?"
"Your cellar. I don't want to hurt you."
"You already did when you threw me around like a doll! Besides, we need to make it believable. I apologize ahead of time if I hurt you."
The two women hugged, and Regina said, "I love you."
"I love you, too. Time to kick the darkness to another dimension."
The two women chuckled and broke the embrace.
Regina exhaled, and her expression turned stern. "It's time."
"It's time," Emma repeated, then asked, "Are you ready to give them our greatest performance?"
The Dark One smiled evilly, "Absolutely."
