Snow merely looked at me maybe she still saw her baby sister who she always knew but deep down I knew I was different. Snow seen I embraced the other life and I wasn't going to back down. I would let my child know both life's like I knew. Still I hugged my sister knowing things were bad already.

"You should of let me done it on my own." Amira said

"You know I couldn't of done that. Your my sister, we do this together." Snow said and shook her head "Princess first, Pirate second."

"I walked from the royal life." Amira said dullily. "I was never planning to return."

"Now if that was true Ami, you would of left me behind." Snow said and I sighed "No, I wouldn't. Family is Family and we're all we have."

Snow was depressed but she'd talk with me but not her husband or daughter. It had to be because we did it together so we shared that burden but I knew Killian was going to be mad the moment he got back to town. It wasn't going to be easy to hide the dark one was alive but I never had to mention I had any involvement in it. Still I got up getting ready to go.

"Where are you going?" Snow asked

"The apartment, the jolly roger. Show the men the ship so they can be in their cabins." Amira said

I walked away knowing she wouldn't leave her apartment from the agonizing guilt that had begun to affect her. I had been honest that it didn't bother me at all and it didn't no matter what people thought. Did I worry Regina would come after me? Slightly but not too much since the men always looked out for me. Just like I said though I met with the crew showing them the Jolly Roger where their Cabins were.

"For now, those who are struggling in town just stay in your cabins." Amira said

"But Selena, the Captain isn't here." One of the men said

"Yes, he's not. But we're going to figure it out till then use your Cabins." Amira said

The men seemed to find it fair, in truth I knew I was doing Smee's job but that didn't bother me. Something was still going on in mind knowing that things were going bad. I went to walk away but Smee caught up to me. I was still walking but he kept beside me before he finally talked to me.

"Selena it's not safe." Smee said

"I don't care, Regina won't hurt me. She'll go for my sister first Smee." Amira said

"Are you just going to walk in there knowing the risk?" Smee asked

"No, but we can't avoid everything." Amira said

In truth, it probably was a few days to a week before Regina started coming up with her plan for Revenge. I stayed with Snow since she refused to talk to many people but I knew how to get her to talk. There was a knock on the door and it was Gold.

"As we are family now, I wanted to inform you that Regina is planning to retaliate." Gold said

"Protect them, you owe them that for taking the risk." David said and he looked back at Snow and Amira before looking back at Gold "Besides when the pirate comes, you'd get some good points with him."

I didn't need Golds help and neither did anyone else but it would help since Regina was a vindictive person out for Revenge. Still I questioned whether Gold could really help and I wasn't going to leave my sister alone anytime soon. Smee stayed within close but even he would be no match for Regina David and Gold soon left to figure out what Regina was up to and Emma walked in the apartment not long after.

"Aunt Amira" Emma said

"Hi Emma, she's still not talking but I have my ways I could get her to talk." Amira said

"No give her time." Emma said

We sat there waiting for a bit before Gold and David walked back in. At first it seemed they didn't know how to explain anything which I wasn't surprised. Henry soon showed up and we all were waiting for the way it was going to come out.

"The empty heart spell, if used properly can force a person to love her." Gold said

"She's going to use it on me, isn't she?" Henry asked

"Henry she's desperate clearly." Amira said to Henry

Gold started to go on to explain the way the spell worked, as he went on to explain it would give her what she wanted. Vengeance and the love of Henry but I knew what Vengeance mean when it came to Regina. I wasn't going to lost my sister anytime soon and Gold probably knew that.

"How does the curse give her both?" David asked

""Because the last ingredient she needs to make the curse, is the heart of the person she hates the most." Gold said

"Never, she'll never get my sister's heart." Amira said

"Sadly dearie, you can't stop her without risking your baby." Gold said

For the first time here in storybrooke I felt useless to stop anything, I couldn't even protect my own sister from the one who wanted to kill her. I didn't like that but I didn't have a choice in the matter either so I just had to accept it with everything else that was going on.

"You have to stop her." Emma said

"No, I don't have to do anything." Gold said looking over at Emma "On the contrary, I believe warning you fulfills my debt."

"Not even close." David said "This is my wife's life we're talking about."

"Not to mention your grandsons." Emma said

I soon noticed Emma and Henry leave wondering if he was going to see his father. As much as I wanted to stick around I had things I needed to do so I kissed my sister's forehead seeing this was harder on her than it was on me.

"Everything will work out Snow." Amira said then I went to walk to the door. Gold put a hand up as i went to open the door and I looked at him.

"What dark one?" Amira said

"Word of advise Ms. Marriott, stay low. You could be on regina's list too." Gold said

I rolled my eyes heading out and Smee followed knowing I had to get things taken care of. I had much to do that day and little time to be babysitter. Smee walked with me as I had my to do list but I noticed his concern.

"What is it Mr. Smee?" Amira asked

"Selena, shouldn't you go for a check up? Make sure the baby is alright?" Smee asked

"The baby is fine, I won't be going to any check up and lead the hospital into thinking when my baby comes that I'll be having it there." Amira said

We went to the the diner and sat, I wasn't happy in the least right now cause everything was going on and Killian was still gone. I thought I'd be able to handle this but it wasn't what I expected it to be. With Killian who knows where cause of Neal and Emma I had to wonder if he'd ever come back. Though my thoughts were cut off when I noticed the man who shouldn't be in town.

"Mr. Mendall, how are you?" Amira asked

"I'm good, Ms." Greg said

"Marriott, Selena Marriott." Amira said

He soon left the diner and it wasn't long after Emma and Henry came in going to the table Neal was sitting at. I watched not really listening that Neal tried to bribe Henry with ice cream topped with extra everything. I knew too well it was a bribe so I waited for a bit before going over when Henry said he was going to the bathroom.

"Where'd you put him Baelfire?" Amira demanded

"Who hook? Why do you want to know?" Neal asked

I slammed my hands down on the table looking at him "I ask the questions Neal, where's my captain? He should of been here." Amira said

Emma walked over at that time "I knew you'd get angry about it eventually." Emma said to me

"So where is he, Emma?" Amira asked

"He's in my storage back in New york." Neal said

"Neal, that baby she's carrying is hooks." Emma said

It seemed like it clicked now why I was demanding to know, but then Emma noticed Henry wasn't there. "Where'd he go?" Emma asked

"He said he went to the bathroom." Neal said getting ready

"Wait where's his backpack?" Emma asked pointing to the seat

Neal seemed confused "I don't know he took it with him." Neal said

"To the bathroom? Did you really fall for that?" Emma asked being a bit hard "he's your son."

I went sitting back down knowing things were going to get interesting around here but I didn't trust Mr. Mendall. No something about him said to stay away and Killian taught me how to trust my instincts. Emma and Neal left after Henry and I had a little lunch before heading back to the apartments.

As I made it to the apartments I noticed my sisters door to her apartment open and I walked in seeing Regina and Gold.

"Nice try dearie. Did you really think it was going to be that easy?" Gold asked

I couldn't see Regina's face as she looked over towards Snow "He can't be your guard dog forever." Regina said then she turned around seeing me.

"Get out Ragina!" Amira said

"You can handle what you did to my mother? How?" Regina asked me

"When you trade one life for another, you learn to live with what you do. Now Get out!" Amira said

Ragina walked right past me not even trying to harm me, I had a feeling it was due to Gold and trust me I wanted no part in owing the dark one any favors. Gold and I were on opposite sides when it came to whose side we were on, he knew I backed Killian 100% so he knew better than to threaten me.

I went to my apartment opening the door as i heard the sound of my phone and I looked at it.

"Henry's trying to get rid of magic? Only it's impossible to destroy it." Amira said

Staying away from the whole thing was easier said than done. Within a little bit of time things seemed to settle down. I heard from people that Regina decided against casting the curse and destroyed the school in the process. It was amazing to hear but then I knew she loved something. She loved Henry and would do just about anything to have him close by. Trust me, it was easy to understand the want of loving a child.

I went to see Snow and as I went into her apartment I sat across from her my back to her window. She seemed to not look at me or anything really just stare out to the emptiness. Gold was still there as I seen he got the call.

"My services are no longer required." Gold said

"How do you do it?" Snow asked

"Do what?" Gold asked

"Live with yourself knowing all the bad things you've done?" Snow asked Gold

"Well you tell yourself your doing the right thing." Gold said "and if you say it often enough, One day you might actually believe it."

I watched as he left the room and then Snow looked at me "You, You became a pirate and it's that easy to just walk away from all this?" Snow asked me

"Pirates don't let guilt get to them snow but more importantly. We keep what's close to us protected." Amira said "You, Killian, this baby is all important to me. Cora would of been a threat to my child the day it was born."

"Come with me." Snow said

I went with Snow to where she planned to go, in truth I didn't know where that may be but I knew for a fact that it couldn't be good. We ended up on Regina's porch and she knocked on the door.

"Snow we need to leave." Amira said

"No, I have to do this." Snow said

When Regina answered and seen us I was worried she'd retaliate but Snow merely looked at her.

"You two." Regina said

"Kill me." Snow said to Regina stepping closer

"Snow are you insane?!" Amira asked

"Regina seemed speechless at Snow's words "What?" Regina asked

"Regina, we have been fighting for so long. It's cost us so much." Snow said "It has to end before anyone else dies. So please just do it."

I could feel the tears in my eyes hearing Snow asking for something I wouldn't allow but she knew I couldn't do anything at the time and all I saw was Regina nod her head at Snow's words before shaking her head.

"Henry would never forgive me." Regina said "but you know what my problem is? I never learn from my mistakes."

She put her hand in Snow's chest bringing out her heart and I held my sister glaring at Regina. "Regina come on, you know this isn't the way!" Amira said

When Regina had the heart in her hand, I noticed a shade of black in it and I wondered how that got there. Snow looked from where her heart was up to Regina's hand as we saw her smile.

"Huh" Regina said with a smile

I saw tears in Snow's eye "What?" Snow asked Ragina

Ragina turned the heart around showing us and pointing to the darkness "Do you see that?" She asked

"What did you do to it?" Snow asked

"Oh, I didn't do that." Regina said then pointed to Snow "you did it"

I was shocked and looked at Snow then at Regina "You darkened yourself." Regina said

"No, no no no" Snow said as she shook her head

"Yes" Regina said "and once you blacken your heart, it only grows darker and darker. Trust me I know."

"So crush it." Snow said

"Let's check Amira's heart." Regina said as she pulled mine out and looked at it, she seemed to look at it for a bit and I noticed just a little darkness in it from what I did to Cora but I still didn't care. She put my heart back while Snow was insisting that Ragina get it over with and crush her heart.

"And put you out of your misery?" Regina asked Snow as Snow was now crying fully "I don't need to destroy you. Your doing it to yourself and along the way you'll bring down that perfect little family you fought so hard to reunite. Then Henry will be mine."

"Please Kill me." Snow begged with tears in her eyes and continued

"You see" Regina said as tears came to her eyes "I can have everything." Then she put Snow's heart back in her chest.

"Thanks to you." Regina whispered before taking her hand out of Snow's chest. "Now get off my porch"

Regina closed the door and I helped Snow get out of there heading back home. I was thankful for once that Regina didn't try anything bad. I just wished I'd realized we were being recorded.
