"I found it, Mom this should work," Henry said coming back into Emma's room. He handed Emma's walkie-talkie. "Will it work, she bought it from Mr. Gold when she first got here, this one's her's, I still have mine. We could take it so we can talk to her too" He was clearly proud of his work. Regina smiled at him.

"Yes Henry it's perfect, thank you," she said taking it from him gratefully. She checked her watch it read 9:00 PM. "We need to do this quick Aldara's had an hour headstart." They quickly made their way to a car. When they were all in Regina put a tracking spell on the walkie-talkie. She released it out the window and started the engine. They followed the walkie-talkie to the edge of the road where it started to float towards the forest. They quickly ditched the car by the side of the road and ran after it. It led them to the age of the stream and floated to the floor.

" There's nothing here?" Henry pointed out. The three of them looked around for anything that could tell them where Emma was. Nothing reared its head. Regina didn't know what to do she went to the walkie-talkie to pick it up. Snow and Henry joined her.

"Why isn't it working, we need a new tatic?" Regina said getting agitated.

"Mom!" He shouted hoping somehow his Mom would shout back to them. "That might work," Regina said her and Snow started to shout for Emma as well. Snow put her arm in the air to signal them to stop.

"Be quite a second I think I can hear something?" Snow said making Regina and Henry stop dead in their tracks. Snow was right Regina could hear the sound of something metal hitting something hard. They all strained to hear where the sound came from.

Aldara had got to a good spot where she knew she most likely couldn't be found. She still couldn't get the cuff off. She struggled, shouting and cursing as she tried to prize it off. After a grueling ten minutes, She gave up and sat down on the grass beneath her.

She couldn't do anything without her magic her entire plan was obsolete without it. She let out an angry scream. She let it echo out around her.

"Calm down deary, Whats with all the noise?" A strange voice asked. She stopped abruptly. She took in the appearance of the man stood next to her. He was wearing a black suit with red tie. He had shoulder-length gray hair. Next to him stood three women. All of them dressed bizarrely even for Storybrooke. The blond lady stood closest to the man was wearing a gray outfit, holding a staff like Aldara's, Next to her was a woman in a crocodile leather jacket, black skirt, and boots. On the other side of the man was a woman wearing a black and white fur coat to match her black and white hair. Her makeup was thick and cartoon-like, making her look sinister and violent.

"Your Cruella, You steal puppies?" Aldara said she was completely baffled by the stranger's appearance.

"Sure darlin', if that's what they are calling it these days, I prefer to call it hunting" Cruella laughed maniacally.

" Don't scare the poor girl Cruella, She might be a new friend, I'm Mr. Gold or Rumplestiltskin if you prefer. As you know this is Cruella De Vil" He pointed to the lady in gray, " And this is Maleficent and Ursula". The other two women just stared at her.

"So which is it then Darlin' a Hero or a Villan," Cruella asked smirking at Aldara.

"Whatever one helps me to destroy Mother's happy life here," She said knowing maybe she could use just a little help.

"Who is your Mother?" Maleficent asked a little panicked.

"Regina Mills or you may know her more frequently used name in the Enchanted Forest the Evil Queen." She said her name with such contempt that it threw even Rumple.

"Well dearie, I think you came to the right place," Rumple said giggling a little in the way he does. He transported them to his cabin where he has been hiding from everyone. " So Regina's your Mom, looks like you pulled the short straw there Dearie, It's ok because we are here to help, but you must help us also," Rumple said knowing this young girl was sure to take on one of his deals, It was exactly what he needed. A willing volunteer.

" I will do anything to see that woman a broken heap, because of her I was treated like a dirt for years. When I was finally strong enough to get rid of the foul woman, my mother was in charge of the kingdom. Of course, I was a clueless child so I went to search for her. I had no idea who she was but I found a spell that helped me find her. I watched her a lot through a small mirror I stole from the old witch who dragged me up. I started to hate her after watching her destroy peoples lives like it was nothing. I sat by and hoped that Snow would stop her. She didn't, of course, Regina managed to get you all sent here. So I spent years finding a way to this world. I finally found it when I found Peter Pan he took me to Neverland and after a while, I left to find two people who would kidnap Henry for Pan. He let me stay in this world as a reward for my dedication to his cause. I was fifteen when I was dropped off. It took me a while to find people who believed me. But finally, after eight grueling years, I found them the couple I had been waiting for. The both of them had a vendetta out on magic, one even on Regina herself. I told them how to get to where Storybrooke was, I had no idea how to get in here. A few years later they managed to finally find a way in. I have no idea how they managed it but they did. I heard they didn't come back, so I decided to come here myself. Knowing she would be here and I could finally make her pay for what she did to me and so many others. Then I get here and she's working with them... against me? She even managed to put this stupid cuff on me so I can't use my magic." She said getting more annoyed the bracelet was still there.

" Then cut off your hand, you will lose the bracelet," Ursula said. It annoyed Aldara that the woman was being condescending.

"What, I'm not going to chop my own hand off, what the hell is wrong with you," Aldara said getting more and more freaked out by the strangers who found her.

"She is right you know, the only way to get that thing off right now is to cut off your wrist," Rumple said.

"You can grow it right back Darlin'," Cruella said trying to move it along a little.

"You're serious?" Aldara said. The four of them nodded at her.

"Uh yes," Rumple said. Aldara glanced nervously at them. She took a knife from Rumple.

"Well, here I go, I'm gonna do it, I'm going to chop my own hand off, just got to mentally prepare for this moment," Aldara said stalling as much as she could.

"Come on you wimp just do it already!" Cruella shouted. Aldara didn't move. "Oh for god's sake" Cruella shouted as grabbed the knife off of Aldara and quickly slashed her hand off just at the end of the cuff. As her hand fell lifelessly to the floor. Aldara let out a piercing scream followed by many curse words and threats to Cruella. She stared at her stump in shock.

"Grow it back then," Ursula said to Aldara.

"How?" She said back panicking running a little on the spot. " My fucking hand gone man"

"Stop whining for a second and I'll tell you how to grow it back," Rumple said throwing a freezing spell on her to stop her from jumping about.

"When I unfreeze you, simply concentrate on it and wish it to grow. It shall grow back if you are strong enough that is" He said then unfroze Aldara and she focused on the stump. It slowly started to grow back. Aldara made a disgusted face as it slowly formed back into her hand.

"I'm not doing that ever again," Aldara said wriggling her fingers to make sure they didn't feel any different. She quickly tested to see if her magic was back. She sent a fireball into the nearest tree.

"Awesome, now I need to get back to where I hid Emma before Regina frees her," Aldara said quickly conjuring her mirror up to check on Emma and Regina. She could see that Regina was close to finding Emma.

"Not on my watch. You four losers coming with me or staying here?" She asked them.

"If there's a fight I'm there, Darlin', " Cruella said chuckling. The other three just nodded and they teleported to where Regina, Snow, and Henry were all stood over where Emma was hidden. Regina had magicked up a shovel each for them so they could try to dig to find where ever the noise was coming from.

"I'd stop there if you know whats good for you," Aldara said to them to try and get their attention. The three of them looked up at her.

"You! Get my Mom back here now!" Henry said running towards her. He was so fast and so angry that he had slipped past Regina and Snow who tried to catch him. He was almost to Aldara when a wave of magic hit him and made him fly back to Regina and Snow. They quickly knelt down to help him. Just as they did Emma flew up from the trapdoor.

"NOBODY HURTS OUR SON!" Emma shouted as she threw an even more powerful burst of light magic to Aldara who was taken back by it not expecting Emma to be able to get out let alone hit her with magic.

Aldara lay on the floor she took a deep breath and stood up. She went to throw a ball of her own at Emma but Regina defected it.

" Thanks," Emma said to Regina as she landed by her side.

"I always have your back, Savior," Regina said grinning at Emma. Emma grabbed her hand and turned Regina to face her.

"What's the plan here" She whispered into her ear " and how long was I in there for?" Emma asked because she felt like she had been in their for a while.

" Since this morning when Aldara took you," Regina said.

" What? It felt so much longer than that" Emma said confused. Regina chuckled at her cute dazed expression. She put a hand on Emma's face forgetting where she was.

"It's ok though because I found you and now we are fine," Regina said she quickly kissed Emma. They were interrupted by Rumple coughing to get their attention.

"If you would please just get on with it. I have better things to do than to watch you two playing house" He said smirking at Emma and Regina.

"Oh, stuff it Grumple" Regina quipped as the two of them turned to him and the others.

"Did you just?" He said offended.

"Yes I did, Now if the four of you could go, so I could talk privately with my daughter that would be great," She said giving them a sarcastic smile.

" No, I think I want to stick around to watch the fun," Maleficent said. She was glaring at Regina. "Finally gave up did you, Regina?" She said looking the woman up and down.

"Can't beat them join them?" Ursula said bored already.

" Why do you think joining them is going to change anything for you?" Rumple asked. He thought he knew Regina but clearly, he hadn't been paying enough attention.

" Rumple you know the reason is that Villians never get happy endings. I'm sick of being miserable all the time. Hating everything and everyone. Feeling lonely all the time. Never being able to see my son. What else should I have done? I saw reason, Rumple. I thought you had too until you lied to Belle. Now the hole in my heart is slowly being filled with love whilst yours continues to darken and kill off your ability to love completely. What are you going to do when there is none of you left when you turn into that dirty Imp with no one to love you, not even Belle." Regina said more confident now Emma was with her.

"Oh but dear that is where you are wrong. Once I get my hands on what I need I don't think a black heart will get in my way." He laughed he started to step forward when he walked into a barrier around them.

" All of you leave now!" Aldara said " Clearly I need to do this alone," She said she flicked her fingers towards them and they disappeared. " Now I can think better, I need to talk to your mother," Aldara said getting closer to them. "As you can see I found a way around you bracelet idea, I just want you to know, you may have found Emma but you still haven't won yet." She said she went to disappear but Regina stopped her.

"You don't have to do this you know, I know, that you hate who I used to be but I'm not like that now, I've tried hard to fight that part of myself. If you just gave me a few seconds to talk to you about it" Regina tried to reason and show Aldara that she wasn't giving up on her. Aldara looked at Regina's face. Regina saw Aldara's face soften and look down at Regina's hand on her wrist then back to Regina. Regina could see tears in her eyes. She could see Aldara fighting hard against her hate for her.

"I can't," Aldara said angry more at herself this time than Regina and disappeared in a thick cloud of orange smoke.

"She's calming down" Regina noted to herself and Emma a little relieved.

"I mean it could have been worse but how can you tell?" Emma asked.

"She didn't flame out like she was before. She wasn't trying to intimidate us like she had been trying to do with the fire" Regina said she smiled a little an Emma who smiled back. Regina put her arm around Emma.

"Hey does someone want to catch me up?" Henry said looking at his mum dumbfounded. " Since when were you two a couple?" The young boy said walking to him Moms who just grinned at him. He ran over and Emma and Regina wrapped him in a hug. "I'm so glad you flew up from the ground Mum," Henry said pulling away to see Emma's face.

" So am I kid, so am I, now come here I missed you. I was sat in the pitch black all day. It gets to you after a while." Emma said pulling Henry back into their hug.

"I'm so glad we found you, Emma, I knew we could. We ran into Aldara earlier she was a piece of work. To be honest Regina I think you are going to need all the help you can get to Aldara to want to talk this out with you" Snow said approaching them. They broke the hug and Regina looked at Snow.

" I know. This might get a little messy" Regina admitted. " Snow, will you and David help me?"

"I think we can handle a little mess," Snow said. She smiled at Regina and went to join the hug. They all split after a while and walked back to the car. By this point, everyone was exhausted and ready to drop. Snow took the wheel on the way home because Emma and Regina were both too worn out after the events of the day, the both of them almost falling asleep in the back of the car.

"Hey, Regina do you want to stay over tonight it would save me a trip?" Snow asked politely. Regina just nodded and rested her head on Emma's shoulder. Emma kissed her forehead lightly. Regina smiled with her eyes still closed. She felt like herself again now Emma was back beside her. She couldn't help but shake the thought that maybe she had fallen for the Savior a long time ago. It just took a little push to get them there. Now she was there she couldn't help but feel glad that her plans had never worked. She even began to think her curse was more like a blessing in disguise, she had gotten Emma and her son because of it. She might even have a daughter who wanted to be a part of their family soon enough. She really hoped Aldara would see that she wasn't the same person she was when she lived in the Enchanted Forest. She wanted her to know that she would a good Mom to her and also teach her to use her magic for good.
