Evil plans

Chlollie asked for a oneshot of *6x03 spoilers* Snowing being with Emma, Henry and Killian when they meet the EQ. The EQ wants Emma. Snowing are protective, not letting her have Emma. She takes her anyway.

I have now seen this week's episode!

"I thought the cricket was helping you?" Killian asked as Emma struggled to get the spell to work on Ella's shoe. Snow and Charming shot him a look. That wasn't going to make Emma feel better.

"I thought so too." Emma snapped. Killian then clamped his mouth shut, deciding that was for the best in the current situation.

"Having a little trouble with your magic?" Emma quickly stood up, so the Evil Queen had finally decided to make an appearance. Henry saw red.

"Stay away from my mom." He warned her, beginning to walk forward. Snow took his hand, pulling him back. That wouldn't help anything. Killian then took Henry by the shoulder and led the boy behind him whilst Snow and Charming stood in front of Emma. The Evil Queen chuckled.

"That frightened, are we?" She asked them.

"Nobody is frightened of you here." Snow said coolly. The Evil Queen just smiled.

"Well now that's just a lie. Otherwise you wouldn't have felt the need to turn yourselves into human shields."

"There's no harm in being cautious." Charming growled. "It's not like you haven't threatened our daughter before."

"Ah yes. She was a bit smaller then, was she not? Before you stuffed your baby through a magical wardrobe into the unknown?"

"Watch your tongue." Snow hissed. "You know as well as we do that was our only option to stop you from killing her."

"Oh we both know you put her through to break the curse, but we're going round in circles here. We've had this conversation before. There are new matters at hand. You're right. Me and your precious daughter do have unfinished business going way back, and there's more than one way to skin a cat. You see, Mr Hyde and I got to talking. It turns out, there is a way to separate me from my other half. Well, an experimental way, but I'll take it. It's not me that dies if it fails. All it takes is some extracted magic from a saviour. Granted, there are a few I could choose from that Hyde suggested from his land, but I can kill two birds with one stone by choosing Emma." The Evil Queen explained her fiendish plan with a cat-like grin. Snow reached behind her and took an iron-tight grip on Emma's hand. Charming pulled out his sword, standing in front of Emma with it. Emma's hand was still shaking. She felt powerless to protect herself, so it was just as well her parents were there to do it for her.

"You're not taking Emma." Charming warned her. The Evil Queen didn't seem concerned by his warning.

"You see the thing is, shepherd, I am." The Evil Queen raised her hand in the air and twitched her wrist. Emma disappeared from her mother's grasp in a cloud of purple smoke and reappeared beside the Evil Queen, a magic preventative cuff on her wrist.

"Emma!"

"Mom!" The group cried. Charming went to charge forward, but an ear-piercing scream from Emma halted him. Emma fell to her knees.

"Try another stunt like that, and it will only get worse." The Evil Queen warned them. She laughed. "Well, I suppose it's a nice little taster of what's to come for you, Saviour."

"Please," Snow begged her. "Don't do this."

"Why?" The Evil Queen asked. "This is my happy ending. I get to separate myself from Regina, and I get to see your heart finally break, Snow White. This is perfect for me."

"But we won't let this happen." Charming assured her. "We will find wherever you take her, and we will not let you hurt her anymore."

"Please, if you love me, you won't do this." Henry pleaded from where Killian was keeping him back. He wanted to charge, to get Emma back, but he knew they had to play this smart, and that she would want him to protect the boy. The Evil Queen smiled sickeningly over to him.

"But I do love you dear, that's why I'm doing this. It's not healthy for you to have three mothers. I'm just eliminating the competition. You'll thank me soon enough. Say goodbye." And with that, the Evil Queen and Emma vanished in another cloud of purple smoke. Snow and Charming felt like they'd been punched in the gut. It had happened again. The Evil Queen had made them lose their daughter.

"We need to get her back." Henry said, voice filled with determination that snapped Snow and Charming back to their senses. "We don't have much time. Who knows what she and Hyde have planned, and she can't even try to defend herself with that cuff on." He reminded them. This made Snow and Charming feel like they'd just been thrown into icy cold water. Charming patted Henry's shoulder.

"You're right kid." He said, keeping his sword out. "Let's work out where that witch is hiding with your mom."
