Trigger Warnings: Violence...

1 day later:

Green eyes dart open at the familiar feeling of being watched. Morrigan lays on her prison cot unmoving and unengaged, the food brought to her left untouched on the floor of her cell, I'm not hungry and not even Regina's stern and pitying attempts will change that..The nagging sensation of someone watching her sparks her anger, why cant they just leave me alone!..

"Hey.."

Henry's gentle voice evaporates her rising anger, what is the boy doing here?..

"Erm..We brought you mom's coffee cause you don't like Granny's.."

We?..Morrigan shifts, only to find the lonely boy shuffling at the front of her cell. His fingers fiddle with the large cup in his hands, his eyes continuing to dart from it to her, I don't want to upset the boy..I suppose I could talk with him for a bit..She pushes herself up, studying apprehensive brown eyes, he seems a little nervous, great..With a huff, Morrigan sits on the edge of the cot and awkwardly pushes herself to her feet, cracking and stretching her limbs, Jesus Christ! what the hell is that bed made out of?! Door mats?!..

"Mom said you take it black two sugars." He extends the cup through the bars.

Of course Regina's responsible for this. Ever since my vow of silence yesterday, the Queen must have thought it necessary to send her puppy eyed son to soften my resolve..

"No..thank you."

His face drops.."But you need to keep your strength up. Mom said your not feeling too good so.."

"Henry!"

Henry recoils, pulling the cup back through the bars quickly, God damn it! I didn't mean to snap but stop deciding things for me! I can make my own damn decisions!..Morrigan sighs heavily, Ive scared him..again..She slowly approaches the bars and reaches for the cup. She watches Henry's face light up before he swiftly pushes the cup into her palm and she sits back on the cot wearily, I'm not drinking it, but as long as he thinks I will he might not bother me for long..Green eyes cant help glancing at the boy every now and again, his bright eyes continuing to flicker from the cup to her face, Agh! What am I? A five year old who's expected to eat all of her vegetables?!..She rolls her eyes, taking a small sip and Henry's smile grows.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" She glances at the clock to confirm her suspicions.

"Nope its Friday, we always finish early on Fridays."

"Hmm..."

They fall back into an awkward silence...

"I'm not scared you know.." Henry shuffles.."I mean, I was a little back in the diner but.."

Morrigan sighs, staring at the cup in her hands.."Henry don't.."

"I know why they're all scared of you, its because you have magic."

"Its more complicated than that, its not just my magic they're scared of, its me..all of me, everything I stand for."

"Everything you stand for?"

"..Evil."

"You were evil, everyone deserves a second chance, just look at my mom, your the one who told me to give her another chance so why cant you have one?"

Morrigan sighs, placing the coffee cup on the floor.."Your just a child Henry.."

"Yeah but I'm not stupid! I know people are keeping things from me!" Morrigan stands abruptly startling him.

"And if I told you everything, all the horrors, the things I did to your family, can you promise me you'd feel the same way? Want me to have a second chance?!"

"I..but my mom.."

"Your mother has her reasons."

"So do you!"

His determination aggravates her, why is he so obsessed with this?!..

"Why are you so..infuriatingly optimistic! Why do you even care what happens to me?! I'm not your family, hell, I'm the last person you should be talking to after what I did to your grandparents!"

Henry gazes at her, tears shining in angry eyes.."Because..If you cant have a happy ending, neither can my mom.."

Morrigans anger floats away.."That's not true Henry. Just because I'm denied happiness, it doesn't mean your mother cant find it."

"But.."

"But nothing, if you don't believe in her redemption, believe in her happiness, then how will she?" She approaches the bars.."Your mother will find her happy ending eventually Henry, she has you, she even has that infuriating blond sheriff.."

Henry chuckles, wiping his eyes as she rests a hand on his shoulder.."Your a wise boy Henry Mills, use that to pull your family together. Miss Swan isn't the only Savior in Storybrooke, sometimes it just takes a young boys determination and love to save the people he cares about."

He quickly pulls Morrigan forward into a hug and she startles, Ive never had this type of contact from a child, not since..Elinor..A tear rolls down Morrigans cheek, her eyes slipping shut as she reaches around the bars to place a hand in his hair and another on his back, This is just..perfect..

A minutes silence washes over them before Henry shuffles in her firm grip.

"Eh..Morrigan?"

Morrigans eyes snap open and she pulls back, clearing her throat awkwardly.."Sorry."

"I wish they'd let you out of there."

"Its for everyone's safety, Including yours."

Henry pouts.."Your not that dangerous.."

She chuckles.."And where have you been for the last few weeks? You do remember the first time we met..and the second.."

"Yeah, I guess."

"Its just until I get better, then afterwards I can maybe show you a few techniques with my blade.." The boys head darts up and she smiles ear to ear.."It'll have to be our secret though, if your mother finds out she'll have my head, that's assuming the sheriff doesn't put a bullet in me first."

"Yeah course! And Ma and Mom wouldn't hurt you."

"Hmm..whatever you say boy." Morrigan grins, You have no idea Henry..

There's a bang from the back room drawing the couples attention.

"Looks like Moms not happy."

"No, I hope Swans a fast mover or she'll be going home black and blue tonight." Henry quickly refocuses, mortified and she startles, Shit! Shouldn't have said that!..

"Henry I didn't mean.." The boy giggles and her panic twists into irritation, the sneaky shit!..

"I'm used to them not getting along."

"I can see why if Swans anything like you."

"Hey!"

Morrigan chuckles.

"They'll be finishing soon, I need the bathroom." Henry smiles brightly, whirling to sprint towards the hallway alleviated.

That was probably the most normal conversation Ive had with anyone since the curse broke. I don't know what it is about the boy that just helps me open up. My temper rarely rears its ugly head when I'm around him, even with all of his never ending questions..Regina and Emma pace from the back room, the mayor aggrieved and the blond irritated.

"When I say I don't want to talk about it Miss Swan, It means I Don't want to talk about it!"

"Look I'm sorry Regina, but if it comes up in court your going to have to talk about it!"

"Court?! I assure you it wont get that far!"

Morrigan stands back, idly listening to the couple argue, they're like an old married couple sometimes..A hint of smoke invades her senses and she frowns, What the hell? Is someone smoking in here?..

"So I assume your going to bribe a few judges and pay a few lawyers to get this done quickly?!"

"No, I intend to build a case that's so air tight that a trial wont be necessary, Oh wait, that's what your supposed to be doing!"

I can smell smoke! Where the hell is it coming from?!..Morrigan walks over to her cell bars and sweeps the area. A grey cloud glides over the stone floor to the right of her cell and green eyes widen as smoke pours from under the door of the evidence room, Shit! Fire!..

"Sheriff!"

The rowing couple redirect their attention and Emma's eyes bulge.

"Shit!" She rushes over to the wall and grabs a fire extinguisher as Regina approaches and leans in to open the door.

Morrigan quickly launches forward.."NO WAIT!"

Regina pries the door open only for an explosion to tare through the sheriffs station.

Darkness...

Mary Margret rolls her eyes impatiently at a frustrated doctor Whale.

"What makes you so sure that cell will hold her?"

"Mother superior personally enacted the enchantment herself. Morrigans not going anywhere I assure you. Now if you'll excuse me I need to be getting back to Henry."

She briskly walks passed the angry doctor towards the sheriff station until an explosion launches her backwards where she lands roughly on the main road with her arms protecting her face. Fragments of stone and fire launch into the air as citizens scream in terror, diving to the ground and ducking for cover. Mary Margret looks around dazed, spotting people picking themselves from the floor with various injuries before her wide eyes dart back to the burning building.

"EMMA! HENRY!" She launches to her feet, swaying heavily and when she reaches a hand to her head, a sticky warm substance coats her palm. She tries to enter the building only for debris to fall from the roof, blocking the entrance.

"EMMA!"

Its hot..Too hot! And my head...What the fuck happened?..Thick smoke invades Morrigans lungs and green eyes droop open. She looks around in a daze, eventually focusing on bright orange flames in front of her, Fire! There was an explosion! Regina! Emma!..She can hear shouting over the flames and slowly pushes herself onto all fours, trying to ignore the pain in her skull. Something drips into her left eye and down her face, I know exactly what it is but there's no time for that now..concentrate..She looks up noticing the front of her cell is missing and squints through the smoke and haze. Green eyes finally pick out blond hair bobbing up and down, so with great effort, she pulls herself to her feet, crouching slightly to avoid the thick black smoke rising to the ceiling.

"SHERIFF!" Her voice booms over the crackle of the flames as she unsteadily approaches. Her blood runs cold when she sees Emma crouched over Regina's body. Eyes dart to a large gash on the side of the Queens head and the badly burnt skin on her upper arm.

"Morrigan!" Emma stares unnerved at Morrigans gashed forehead, a fountain of red leaking from the wound and down one side of the woman's face.."Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine!"

"We need to get her out of here! Grab her legs!"

There's a loud crunch and a snap as embers rain down from above. Two pairs of startled eyes dart upwards just as a beam tumbles towards them. Emma throws herself over the mayor as Morrigan quickly rises to her feet.

She grits her teeth, squaring her shoulders and closing her eyes tight, This is gonna sting like a bitch..The beam plummets into Morrigans back and shoulders, harshly forcing her to her knees with a cry.

"Morrigan!" Emma quickly move to help but freezes at Morrigans painful shriek.

"NO! GO NOW!"

"I'm not leaving you! Use your magic!"

"I CANT!"

Morrigans legs begin to tremble with the weight, there's not much time!..At a glance she notices a fire catching close to her arm, Get out Swan!..

"THERE'S NO TIME! GET OUT NOW!"

Emma stares intently into pleading green eyes. Morrigan clearly wants her to save Regina and it tares Emma apart. She hooks her arms around Regina's waist and carefully drags the unconscious woman towards the exit. With one last glance, Emma watches as Morrigan is slowly consumed by flames..

Mary Margret cries hysterically in her husbands arms as fire trucks quickly pull up to the side of the road. Half of the town watch as the sheriffs station blazes, some crying, some taking videos and photos on there cell phones and the rest simply watching with fascination and dred. There's a sudden crack at the entrance and white smoke spills out. Through the haze a truss of blond curls emerges, pulling a body from the flames.

"EMMA!"

Mary Margret and David dash across the street as Emma continues to pull the unconscious mayor from the burning building. A set of arms wrap around her shoulders and she falls onto her backside, cradling Regina in her lap. EMT's and firemen surround the pair, checking for injuries and providing oxygen as a stretcher is rolled alongside.

"Emma are you alright?"

Emma glances at her mothers red rimmed eyes.."I'm fine, its Regina and..Morrigan." The body in her lap stirs, eventually coughing and with a groan, brown eyes flicker open.

"What..?"

Regina tries to sit up, pressing a hand to the large gash on her head but quickly an EMT pushes her back down.

"Please don't move madam mayor, you have a head injury."

I remember reaching for the door and then nothing. Why am I on the floor?..Her eyes slide ahead finally taking in the blaze, the stations on fire?!..Regina looks upwards seeing Emma's distant eyes and she scowls, well of course the savior survives! But wheres..Brown eyes dart towards the flames, Morrigan!..

"Emma where's Henry?"

Emma and Regina quickly refocus on a panicked Mary Margret.

"Henry? He wasn't with us."

"He ran into the station about ten minutes ago."

"No!"

The women leap to their feet and Emma dashes towards the flames. A fireman grabs her, pulling the struggling sheriff back.

"No let go! HENRY!"

Regina's world collapses around her, This can be happening, they cant be gone..

"Regina poof us in there!"

"I cant!"

"Why the hell not?!"

"If I do without knowing what's in the way, we could reappear between a piece of dry wall!"

"We have to do something!"

"I.."

I don't know what to do! Is there anything I can do?..Henry..Morrigan...Regina stares at the flames..

Morrigans face presses against the warm concrete floor, unconsciousness tugging at her, good..Finally I can sleep..There's a sharp pain on her arm but it doesn't matter anymore, I actually feel pretty good, I was able to do one final act of good and it felt..fulfilling..A continuous thudding pulls her from her thoughts, what the hell is that now! Cant I just die in peace!..Elinor's screams echo around her.

"Elinor?...ELINOR?!"

My daughters burning!..Panicking, Morrigan pushes herself up, taring her back and legs from under the crumbling beam, I have to get to her!..She crawls towards the noise, careful to avoid flaming bits of debris as she goes, this place is going to collapse soon. Get the fuck up Morrigan!..With a grunt and a scream of pain, Morrigan pulls herself to her feet, limping over to the door that houses her daughter. She bangs her fist on the charred wood.

"ELINOR!"

"MORRIGAN?"

She blinks, That's not Elinor..Henry cries out again and she slumps forward, the smoke and blood loss must have played tricks on my mind..A single tear rolls down her blackened cheek, looks like it was too good to be true..But Henry, I cant leave him..

"STAND AWAY FROM THE DOOR!"

"OKAY!"

Morrigan sucks in a deep breath, her lungs and throat burning, why the fuck isn't my magic working? What the fuck did that fairy do?! Fucking fairies!..Taking a step back, she rushes at the door with her uninjured shoulder and hits it with a crunch. It remains sealed so she tries again, and again before finally the door splinters open and she stumbles into the room with a painful cry. Henry springs from his hiding spot, wrapping his arms around her waist and she hisses in pain.

"I knew you wouldn't leave me!"

My body's failing fast, no time for pleasantries boy! Lets get the fuck out of here!..

"Come on lets get you out of here!" Henry keeps ahold of her waist as she wraps her arms around him protectively..

Mary Margret's arms are wrapped around her distraught daughter, blackened tears staining Emma's face as she continues to stare aimlessly into the flames of her destroyed station. Regina sits in the back of an ambulance with an oxygen mask and a bandage around her burnt arm.

There's a loud crack as something falls with a heavy thud from within the burning building. A few seconds pass, the blazing inferno gently scattering debris into the wind until the doors to the station are torn off their hinges and a firefighter jumps into the bushes to avoid flying metal and glass. Emma and Regina dart to their feet, the mayor taring the oxygen mask from her face.

Morrigan clutches Henry tightly into her side as she pushes forward into the sunlight, Looks like my magics back..Brilliant fucking timing! But it feels weird, like its there one minute then gone the next..Her and Henry cough profusely when fresh air hits their lungs as she stumbles forward, quickly noting various people running towards them but a sudden heat presses into her back and she whirls, Shit!..

"GET BACK!"

Morrigan uses what little energy she has left to scoop Henry flush against her chest as she attempts to run forward, but a blast erupts from the station sending both her and Henry flying forward. She screams at the fire licking at her back and quickly turns before they both land roughly on their sides. Darkness pulls at her again, her body slowly shutting itself down, that's it..I'm done...

Emma and Regina scream Henry's name in unison, running towards the pair as firefighters grab the bodies and pull them to safety. EMT's rush in with oxygen masks and stretchers but Henry bats them away from his face, frantic eyes searching for Morrigan. Regina and Emma launch themselves at their son, crying, cradling him in their arms.

"Henry are you okay? Where does it hurt?"

"I'm okay mom, but Morrigan.."

They all refocus on the bloody and blackened body on the stretcher as its hastily wheeled into the back of an ambulance.

Regina's heart soars for her son but tears gently roll down her cheeks, please don't be dead. Henry needs you...I need you..Brown eyes dart from the ambulance to Henry and Emma rests a reassuring hand on the mayors arm.

"Regina its okay go, I'll follow with Henry."

"I..." Regina looks at her smiling son before he squeezes her arm lightly.

"Its okay mom, go."

There's a pause, I dont want to leave him but..he'll be fine with Emma..Her troubled heart is confusingly pulled to Morrigan, I have to make sure shes okay..Regina nods, kissing Henry on the forehead before dashing off towards the back of the ambulance..

The doors to the hospital burst open and Morrigans charred body is rushed down white halls. Green eyes crack open, Where am I?..Blurry white spots rush passed her, Someone shines a light in her eyes, ah! That's bright you bastard!..Muffled voices echo in her thoughts, something about blood and head injuries?..She turns her head slightly, looking over the oxygen mask to see raven hair bouncing along side her. The person speaks and there's a soft hand in hers, who the hell..As quickly as the hand made contact, its suddenly pulled away as she barrels through another set of white doors. There's beeping and a flurry of activity around her, what the hell are they doing?!..There's voices before the movement stops, are they arguing?..A man in white steps beside her and leans in, grinning darkish, WHALE!..She attempts to scowl, feeling the gash on her forehead taring open further.

"You just wont die will you.."

Morrigan attempts to sit up only for a hand to shove her back to the gurney. She whimpers at the force, desperately looking around for help.

"No one to help you this time.."

She tries to push up again but Whale quickly pulls a set of leather straps around her torso and legs. She struggles, attempting to call her magic but is unsuccessful. She cries out only to have the oxygen mask smother her cracked voice while wide green eyes focus on the smug man.

"Your not going anywhere, your going to do us all a favor and just die!"

"Why?"

"Why? Do you really need to ask why? You and Regina are a plague on this town! You don't deserve to live after what you've both done, you don't deserve anything!" He leans in closer.."Regina was supposed to die down in that pit but you had to swoop in and play hero! And then you do it again, ruining everything!"

Her eyes narrow, The sleazy fuck was the one who started the fire?..

Whale chuckles darkly.."Yeah I started the fire, both of you were supposed to burn! But there you go again saving the damsel, so now your going to lie here and die like a good girl while I find another way to get rid of our esteemed Mayor Mills."

Morrigan grits her teeth, the fucker wont lay a single finger on Regina!..She pulls at her restraints, ignoring the pain as Whale chuckles, strolling towards the exit.

"Now if you don't mind, I have to deliver the sad news of your passing."

And with a devilish grin, Whale quietly slides from the ER. Morrigan thrashes on the gurney, her body taring open further, I cant die like this! I cant let the sick bastard hurt Regina again!..With muffled cries, she continues to fight against her bonds..

Regina is pacing intently when the Charming family burst in and Emma quickly approaches.

"Where is she?"

"They just took her to the ER, they wont tell me anything!"

Emma watch's the furious mayor pace, Regina clearly having a certain set of feelings for Morrigan before the final pieces slot together in the blonds mind.

"She's going to be alright isn't she?"

Henry stares grimly just as Whale walks into the room and Emma steps forward.

"Whale how is she? What's going on?"

"I'm sorry.."

Regina's heart plummets.

"There was too much internal damage, she passed away not long after we got her to the ER."

Regina takes a step back and staggers into the chair behind her. Henry runs over, eyes sparkling with grief and quickly envelops the woman in a hug.

"How is that even possible? She cant.."

Emma looks around distraught. But shes the savior, shes the one that's supposed to save everyone. She glances at her downhearted son. They'd gotten close the past few weeks. Every time he would come home after dinner at the mansion, he'd talk about Morrigan none stop, who she was, who she's supposed to be in the book, what her connection is to Regina. The kids smart, he also picked up on the vibe between the two witch's and was determined to find out their connection. He even created a new operation, Operation Black Heart. Emma's focus slides to the unmoving mayor and her heart sinks. Regina looks ahead distantly, barely hugging her son back.

A nurse suddenly slides in next to Whale with a pair of overalls in her hands.."Dr Whale we've dealt with the minor patients like you asked, should we continue with the one in the ER?"

Emma's eyes narrow, her parents sharing skeptical glances at Whale. Regina's vacant eyes refocus as the man shuffles, clearing his throat.

"Continue? Whats the point if she's dead?" Emma addresses the startled nurse but the woman only looks around bewildered.."What's going on Whale?!"

David takes a cautious step towards the slowly retreating man, Regina rising slowly from her chair.."Yes Whale, What is going on?"

A few awkward seconds pass but then suddenly Whale spins and attempts to flee. Quickly Emma and David give chase but with a flick of Regina's wrist, the good Doctor launches off his feet and smashes into a viewing window. The glass cracks on impact before Whale falls harshly to the ground. David and Emma quickly move in, grabbing his arms and heaving the man to his feet.

Regina scowls deeply, the temperature dropping around them as she stalks towards the man.

"What have you done to Morrigan?!" Her voice is deadly and Emma almost finds herself taking a step away.

"Nothing she doesn't deserve!"

Regina draws in closer, igniting a fireball.

"Go ahead and kill me! At least I die knowing that disgusting bitch is finally dead!"

Regina snarls, pulling her fireball back.

"MOM!"

"REGINA!"

"REGINA!"

Henry, Mary Margret and Emma scream at her in unison and the fireball pauses, it would be so easy just to end the disgusting man right here, right now, but I cant let Henry witness the actions of my past..Regina's hand closes, effectively crushing the fireball and Whale chuckles.

"What's this? The Evil Queen's grown a conscience?"

"She's not Evil anymore!" Henry glares.

"Of course she is, just like that bitch I finally managed to put down!"

Emma tugs the doctors arm sternly.."So you admit killing Morrigan?"

"Of course, I'm a hero for getting rid of her, its just a shame I couldn't hit two birds with one stone."

David frowns.."What the hell's that supposed to mean?"

Mary Margret's eyes widen.."You..You started the fire! That's why you kept me talking outside the station, why you insisted Henry stay with me but he ran in anyway, and that's why you disappeared after the explosion, you didn't want to help just encase they got out."

Whale shifts a moment.."The boy wasn't supposed to go in."

Davids anger rises and he steels his jaw.."And what about Emma you son of a bitch?!"

"Well I thought heroically trying to save the mayor and her pet from dying in a fire was a fitting end for a savior."

David vigorously shakes the man, punching him in the stomach but Emma quickly jumps in.."David not now! Your going away for life Whale!"

Whale laughs bitterly.."Well since I'm telling a few truths how about I let you in on a few more.." He directs his attention on the fuming mayor.."Should I tell them madam mayor?"

Regina's blood runs cold, don't you dare you sick bastard..

"Should I tell them about us?"

David looks curiously between both the doctor and mayor.."What the hell are you talking about?"

"David don't.." Emma quickly tugs Whale forward knowing where the conversation will lead.."Come on lets get him.." She pauses, remembering quickly that she has no station, it just blew up.

Whale laughs.."What's the matter your majesty? Feeling a little self conscious?"

By now their little scene has an audience of patients and nurses who listen and watch intently.

Emma notes Regina's trembling hands and quickly interferes.."Shut the hell up Whale!"

"You weren't feeling so self conscious when I fucked you on the floor of the hospital."

Emma's jaw drops. She had her suspicions, but hearing it from Whale just makes her skin crawl.

The rooms deathly silent..

"Who knew her majesty was a screamer, I know you liked it as much as I did."

"That's enough!" Emma grinds her teeth at the gathering tears in Regina's eyes.

"I did get it right? The way Leopold used to do it? I still have the duct tape and rope in my trunk."

Regina pales considerably as gasps and murmurs echo around the room and corridor.

Emma glances at her horrified mother, the woman's eyes brimming with guilty tears.."I said that's enough!"

"ITS NEVER ENOUGH!"

Whale pushes back, throwing Emma forward and slamming his body into David. Their grip falls and he spins attempting to flee only to stop dead after taking a couple of steps. Emma and David right themselves and stare curiously at the slowly reversing man. David makes a move to grab Whale but his wide eyes are refocused before a curious Emma joins them. Her jaw drops, her fear rising as she watches what she can only describe as someone out of a horror movie stalk towards them.

Morrigan focuses all of her hatred on the retreating doctor as every limp forward vibrates in her scolded and torn back. The three retreating figures gape but she staggers forward with a grimace, I cant look that bad..The hardened blood on her face seals one of her eyes shut as she continues her wobbly advance, I heard everything, the sick fuck just publicly announced he assaulted Regina so I assume no one will protest when I split him in two..

Regina watches from the sidelines, curiously stepping around the retreating sheriff and brown eyes bulge.

"Morrigan?"

A limping Morrigan halts, both women staring at each other, inspecting, evaluating, and then Morrigan refocuses and slowly resumes her pace. Regina feels her legs wobble until light reflects from something in Morrigans hand and her eyes dart to a scalpel..

"Are you okay?"

"Do I look okay?!"

Morrigans vicious tone causes Regina to recoil, surprise flooding throughout the room.

"You need help, put the scalpel down and.."

"NO! I'm sick of people telling me what to do!"

Emma quickly raises her hands peacefully.."Okay, so what do you want to do?"

A devilish grins spreads across bloodied lips.."I thought that was obvious sheriff!"

Morrigan takes a few hasty steps forward and the group suddenly scamper backwards, trying to put as much distance between the savage looking woman and themselves.

"Look, I know your angry, so am I, the bastard tried to kill me too.."

"You think that's what this is about?!" The group look at her perplexed before Regina takes a calm step forward.

"Then what is it about?" A green eye levels with her.."Me?"

Emma watch's Morrigan carefully, of course this is about Regina.."Look, he's going to get whats coming for what he did to Regina but this isn't the way."

"Your so fucking self righteous savior, just like your father! So your just going to let him live after what he's done?!"

Emma narrows her eyes.."And I suppose your solution of killing him is better? You cant just go around killing people that piss you off Morrigan! That's not how things work here!"

Morrigans rage explodes, she throws the scalpel at David, cutting his arm before lunging at the blond. She roughly pushes the savior to the floor and clamps her bloodied hands around Whales neck squeezing harshly. David stumbles backwards but quickly springs forward, attempting to pry one of the woman's arms off but is roughly pushed backwards again. Morrigan watches Whales face slowly turn a bright purple, his knees crunching to the stone floor, they wont stop me this time! They'll have to kill me! The disgusting fuck deserves to die!..

Emma launches to her feet, a desperate hand running through blond curls as Regina kneels below a murderous Morrigan, placing a gentle hand on the woman's arm.

"Morrigan you have to stop, he cant win."

Morrigan glares at the gasping man, applying more pressure.."He has to pay!"

"Not at the cost of you."

A green eye is drawn to the former Queen.."He has to!"

Regina softens.."He will pay I swear it, but if you kill him now it'll only push you over the edge. This is your final test Morrigan, you can kill him and be lost to the darkness.." Her hand slides down to rest atop Morrigans shaking wrists.."Or come back to us and find your happiness."

Morrigans green eye leaks and she shakes her head.."I cant. He..He.." She softly mutters, low and broken before narrowing her eye and refocusing back on the semiconscious man between her hands.

"Hey Hey, look at me.." Morrigan reluctantly turns back.."Yes he did something terrible to me and he'll pay, but not by your hand. I will not stand by and watch the dark knight consume you again.."

Morrigans hands waver, she's...right..I cant be that again..Her injuries finally take their tole and slowly she releases her grip around Whales throat. The man tumbles to the ground, sucking in mouthfuls of air, clutching his throat and coughing profusely. Regina stands and carefully wraps her arms around the fragile woman, cradling her head from the public eye.

"Miss Swan if you would?" Regina nods to the hospital onlookers and Emma quickly snaps from her daze.

"Yeah course. Right I need everyone to get back to work and..to bed I guess."

The mayor rolls her eyes as David scoops the stumbling doctor from the floor, but the prince fails to see Whale quickly pulling out Morrigans discarded scalpel before he's violently shoved away.

"Regina watch out!"

Whale pounces at the former Queen but Morrigan quickly reverses their positions and pulls both bodies to the side. The weapon slices across her stomach and she hisses painfully, THAT'S IT!..She grabs the doctors wrist and twists harshly hearing a crack. He howls in pain, the scalpel dropping to the floor before hes spun and kicked to his knees. The room freezes, ever wary as Morrigan glances grimly at Emma.

"I'm sorry Sheriff."

Emma instinctively grabs Henry, pulling his forehead against her stomach and covering his ears.

Morrigan harshly grabs Whales head and neck causing him to splutter, and with brute force, she wrenches to one side and a load snap echos around the hospital. Gasps fill the space followed by Whales lifeless carcass hitting the floor with a loud thump.

Regina stands frozen, she killed him..but I cant help feeling..angry. She'll end up suffering for her actions, the stupid denizens of Storybrooke will want her head now and there's nothing I can do about it..Oh Morrigan..what have you done..She goes to place a hand on the woman's back but pauses. Morrigans black jacket has melted into flesh, her skin protruding leather as blisters bleed relentlessly, how is she still standing?!..

Its done, the raping fuck is dead..With a sigh, Morrigan slowly limps around the dead body and heads back towards the ER but David quickly blocks her escape.

"And where do you think your going?"

She sighs again, not meeting his eyes, if I look at him, I'll want to punch him!..

"Where does it look like, I'm leaving!"

"Like hell you are! You just murdered a man so your under arrest!"

Mary Margret sighs wearily.."David please.."

Morrigans green eye darts to the prince as Regina edges forward cautiously.

"You mean an attempted murderer and a rapist! Do I have to remind you he tried to kill your daughter not thirty minutes ago! Perhaps you should stop focusing on your hatred for me and take care of your family for once! Now MOVE!" She roughly shoves him from her path with her uninjured shoulder.

"And what the hell would you know about family?! You don't have children of your own!"

Morrigan freezes, WHAT THE FUCK DID HE SAY!..She whirls, snarling and Regina quickly moves, wide eyed between the pair. Slowly Morrigan stalks forward, pushing the mayor backwards as she goes.

"Morrigan please not again!"

"You know why I don't have a family of my own?! Its because of YOU!"

"Yeah? And hows that?!"

"YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER!"
