"I can't find Lola," Regina said, walking into the bedroom in a panic. "She's not anywhere in the house, and she's supposed to be."

"I'm sure she just snuck out to be with friends," Emma said. "It's not that big of a deal."

"Don't be so sure," Regina said. "Haven't you noticed all the questions that she's been asking lately? About my vault?"

"What, you think she snuck out to find your vault?" Emma asked. "Don't be ridiculous, Gina. There's nothing in there that she would want anyway. The actual vault part is under your mother's coffin, and she would never touch that and move it."

"I know, but think about what could happen if she actually got down there," Regina said. "There's still the room of hearts. And we hid the book down there. She could learn everything."

"She already knows the basics," Emma said. "It's not like reading the book will teach her anything she doesn't already know."

Regina sighed before plopping down onto the bed next to Emma. "But think about it. She knows that I was the Evil Queen, but never how evil I was. That vault is full of things that define who I was and what I did. I don't want her seeing that."

Emma reached over and grabbed her hand. "Who's saying that she'll even find the vault? It's in the middle of the forest."

"Have you met our daughter?" Regina asked. "She'll find a way to get anything she wants."

"Good point," Emma said. "Fine. Let's go check and see if she found it. If not, we'll find her and take her home."

They arrived at Regina's vault 30 seconds later due to the wonderful magic of poofing, only to see Lola sitting on the step leading inside.

"Lola!" Regina called, running towards her. "What are you doing out here? You're supposed to be at home."

"I poofed myself here," Lola said. "I don't know how, but I did. And now, I've seen things that I never wanted to see."

"You did?" Emma asked. "Like what?"

"There's a room down there full of beating hearts," Lola said. "And when I took one out, I swear that I could hear someone screaming."

Regina winced. This is exactly why she had forbidden Lola from going down there. Ava never would, and Henry knew everything. But Lola was curious, and had only been told very little.

"And there was this room with a mirror too," Lola continued. "And in the room were a bunch of magical objects that I'm sure have to be dangerous." She looked at Regina with large eyes. "Who are you?"

"Lola," Emma scolded, trying to ignore the distraught face of her wife. "She is your mother. Yes, she had a rough past and did some evil things. But that's all done now, and she's changed."

"Then why keep all of that stuff?" Lola asked. "Why keep all of those evil things?"

"So no one else will get to them," Regina said softly. "No one can get into my vault without blood magic now. Those items are all dangerous, especially in the wrong hands."

"What about the hearts?" Lola asked. "Why can't those go back to their rightful owners?"

"All of the heart's left are of people who live in the Enchanted Forest and escaped the curse," Regina said. "There's no way to return a heart to someone if they're not here."

Lola looked at her skeptically before nodding. "Fine. I apologize for going into your vault." Before Emma or Regina could say anything more, Lola poofed home.

Regina sat down heavily on the step that Lola had just left. "Did you see the way she looked at me?"

Emma sighed. "Regina…"

"She looked at me like I was a monster," Regina whispered. "Which I suppose I am, but still. I never expected her to find out this way. Or find out at all."

"You are not a monster," Emma said strongly. "Don't you dare go back to thinking that you are. We've come too far for that."

Regina smiled sadly. "No matter what you say or do, I will always have a part of a monster inside of me. It's who I am."

"And whenever you believe that, you're feeding it," Emma said. "Stop believing that you're a bad person."

Regina sighed. "But I am a bad person."

"In the past," Emma argued. "Now you're one of the best heroes I know. You've been through so much and yet you've raised an amazing son and two amazing daughters. Although the one is on my shit list right now."

Regina laughed. "She didn't mean any harm. She was just in shock."

"I don't care," Emma said. "She said those things and disobeyed our rule to never go into the vault and look what happened. You're doubting yourself again."

"I suppose you're right," Regina said. "But it's not like it really matters. What's done is done."

"Doesn't mean I'm not going to have a talk with her later," Emma said, holding out a hand and pulling Regina to her feet. "Now come on. Let's go home so I can kill our daughter."
