Regina was in the middle of having a very nice rest when her phone rang. She groaned, rolling over and picking it up. "Hello?"

"Regina we need your help," a tearful Snow said.

"Who's we?" Regina asked. "And why do you need my help in the middle of the night?"

"David and I. Emma found out that we sent all of her darkness with Lily into this world," Snow said. "She left and we haven't seen her since. We thought that she just wanted to cool off, but then she sent us a text saying goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Regina asked. Her stomach dropped. What was Emma thinking?

"She told us that if we didn't really believe in her ability to manage her own balance of dark and light, then it would just be better for her to be gone," Snow said. "What do we do?"

"Where is she?" Regina asked.

"That's the thing," David piped in. "We don't know where she is. We were hoping that you could do a locator spell for us."

"I promised her a long time ago that I wouldn't do that to her," Regina said. "We came to an agreement that if we wanted to be found, we would leave clues for each other that only we would understand. No magic."

"Clues?" Snow asked. "What kind of clues?"

"I'll be over in a little bit," Regina grumbled, sitting up. "I'll be able to find her."

"Thank you for helping," Snow said.

Regina shrugged. "She's my closest friend. Of course I'm going to help."

"Just friends?" Snow asked.

"Now is not the time to have this conversation," Regina said. "Let's just focus on finding Emma and bringing her home."

"You can't deny your feelings forever," Snow said, following Regina into Emma's room. "You're going to have to tell her eventually."

"Since when do you give relationship advice?" Regina asked, looking on Emma's dresser for a clue as to where she was hiding.

Snow shrugged. "I'm not. I just think that you should tell her. You might be surprised at her reaction."

"I'll be sure to tell her when I find her," Regina said. "Which you're not helping with."

"You said that the clue is something that only you would understand," Snow said. "How am I supposed to help with that?"

Regina shrugged. "I don't know, just look for things that are out of place. You were a hunter in the woods, you would think that would have given you some skills."

"What about this?" Snow asked, picking up a book. "I don't think that Emma reads for fun."

"You're right, she doesn't," Regina agreed, taking the book from Snow. "Jumping To Freedom? What book is this?"

"No idea," Snow said. "I've never heard of it before."

Regina looked at the book. What was Emma trying to tell her? Was this even the clue? And then it hit her. Jumping.

"What?" Snow asked. "Why did you just get really pale?"

"Because I know where Emma is," Regina said. "And we can only hope that I'm not too late."

"Too late for what?" Snow asked. But she was too late. Regina had already poofed away.

Regina walked quickly towards the toll bridge, hoping beyond hope that Emma hadn't jumped yet. This couldn't happen.

"I see you found my clue," Emma said as Regina walked up behind her. She was standing on the edge of the bridge, her hands resting calmly at her sides.

"Very blunt," Regina said, stopping a good distance behind her. "Why don't you come down and we can talk about how to better your clues?"

"I can't do that," Emma said. "I need to do this."

"Why?" Regina asked. "Because your parents got rid of your inner darkness and gave it to someone else?"

"Because it's once again a case where no one believes in me," Emma said. "And it's better to be dead than not be believed in."

"I believe in you," Regina said. "So does Henry."

"Sure you do," Emma said bitterly. "Don't lie to me."

"Have I ever lied to you?" Regina asked.

"No," Emma mumbled.

"Then trust that I'm not lying to you now," Regina said. "You can't do this. I need you. Henry needs you. And I'm not saying that because you're the Savior."

"Then why do you need me?" Emma asked. Without realizing it she had actually taken a step towards Regina and away from her death.

"For Henry," Regina said. "He loves you. He would be devastated if you left."

"I didn't ask about Henry," Emma said. "I asked about you."

"This isn't the time for this conversation," Regina said. "You need to get away from the edge of that bridge and come towards me."

"Why?" Emma asked. "Why do I need to come down?"

"Because I love you!" Regina blurted out.

"You love me?" Emma asked, looking over her shoulder at Regina.

Regina nodded. "I do. And that's why I need you to come down from the ledge. Please."

Emma bit her lip and looked back down at the water. "But they'll never believe in me."

"Emma please," Regina pleaded. "Please."

Emma bit her lip before slowly nodding and stepping off of the ledge. "Okay. I won't jump."

Regina smiled in relief before walking quickly to her and hugging her tightly. "Don't ever scare me like that again."

Emma smiled. "Yes ma'am."
