Another Season 6 chapter! Gosh I love this season so much.

Regina stood there, hate practically visible around her as the Evil Queen taunted her. Emma watched her, playing off of her emotions. She wasn't going to attack unless Regina did. After all, attacking the Evil Queen would hurt Regina.

And then the Queen went one step too far. She had to rub in the fact that Emma's parents currently couldn't be together, and she snapped. She barely registered Hook telling her not to before swinging the sword and cutting the Evil Queen's cheek.

Eyes widening, Emma spun to face Regina. "Are you-"

"I'm...fine," Regina said, confused as she drew her hand away from her cheek. The sword hadn't harmed her at all.

Emma turned back to the Evil Queen and aimed to kill her, but she poofed away like the coward she was.

Emma took a deep breath before lowering the sword to her side. She turned back to Regina, who still looked stunned at the way that things had turned. The Evil Queen could be killed with the sword that was supposed to be Emma's demise.

"Let's put this in the vault," Emma said. "Then I have a feeling we have some serious talking to do."

Regina nodded. "I'll seal it as best as I can, but there's no guarantee that someone isn't going to find a way to get to it anyway."

Emma shrugged before sighing. "There's nothing that we can do to prevent that. Let's just hope that the Queen stays away for awhile now that she knows that we can actually kill her without hurting you."

"How is that possible?" Hook asked. Regina and Emma both jumped. They had forgotten that he was there.

"I have no idea," Regina said. "But for now, let's just hide the sword and go home." She turned and walked to the vault, Emma and Hook following close behind. Regina opened the doors and walked inside, not looking to see if Emma and Hook were following.

Emma grabbed Hook's arm as he went to enter the vault. "Keep watch out here. I want to talk to her alone for a little while."

Hook looked at her skeptically. "Is everything okay?"

"Of course not," Emma said. "We're fighting against Regina's evil half. Nothing is okay anymore. But I want to talk to her about something before we hide the sword. Just keep watch."

Before Hook could protest or ask any questions, Emma was inside and had shut the door.

"Where's your pirate?" Regina asked as Emma came into the room.

"He's keeping watch," Emma said. "I told him that I wanted to talk to you. About the recent development that just happened."

"I see," Regina said. She walked around the room, checking for the best hiding place for the sword. After all, it was the weapon that was supposed to end Emma's life. Hiding it well was a big responsibility.

"I'm so sorry," Emma blurted out.

Regina turned to look at her in surprise. "Whatever for?"

"She got the best of me and I just swung the sword," Emma said. "I didn't even think about the possibility that it could cut you too and that was wrong of me."

"Oh don't worry about it," Regina said, waving her hand dismissively. "Besides, I wasn't hurt anyway. No need to be concerned."

"So you're not mad that I could have cut you?" Emma asked.

Regina sighed. "Emma, I'm not mad. Even if I was hurt, I still wouldn't be mad. The Queen got the best of you and you lashed out. It's not that big of a deal."

Emma sighed in relief. "Okay. That's good."

"Why do you care so much if I'm mad at you?" Regina asked.

"Because we finally have a good relationship, and I don't want to ruin it by making it seem like you aren't important, but attacking the Queen is," Emma said.

"I'm important to you?" Regina asked.

Emma blushed. "Yeah."

Regina smiled. "You're important to me too."

Emma smiled and walked closer to her, ready to finally taste the lips of the brunette who had captured her heart.

"Are you two done hiding that bloody thing yet?" Hook called into the vault. "We need to get going in case she comes back."

Emma and Regina jumped. "Be there in a second," Emma called back.

"What are you going to do about Hook?" Regina asked. "You're dating him."

Emma shrugged. "We can deal with that later. But right now, we really need to hide this sword and get up there before he starts to get suspicious."

"Right," Regina agreed. "Let's hide this thing." She wanted to kiss Emma badly, but supposed that she could wait. There was still more evil to get rid of, and then they could get their happy ending.
