This chapter is for Evil Queen Effie with the prompt: "Could you do a chapter where Graham is brought back to life and he wants revenge on Regina and to start his relationship with Emma."

Emma and Regina were enjoying their usual lunch at Granny's when Snow came running in looking like she had seen a ghost.

"You need to hide. Right now," Snow panted, stopping at Regina and Emma's table.

"Who needs to?" Regina asked. "Take a deep breath Snow, no one's going to get hurt if you don't calm down a little."

Snow took a deep breath. "You need to hide. There's a person in town that will not be happy that you're with Emma, and will most likely want to kill you for what you did to him."

"I never hide," Regina said. "Who am I hiding from?"

"Graham," Snow said.

"What?" Emma asked. "How is that possible? He's dead."

Snow shrugged. "I have no idea. I was going over to Zelena's house to check on her and Robin, and I saw him walk out of the house. I was so scared that I just came straight here and forgot to check on Zelena and Robin."

"I have a feeling they're just fine," Regina said bitterly.

"Why?" Emma asked.

"Because Hades brought Graham back from the dead knowing that he would want to kill me and be in a relationship with you," Regina said. "There couldn't be a more perfect way to win Zelena over. Get rid of her sister."

"We're not going to let that happen," Emma said strongly. "Besides, how will he even find you?"

"He's a hunter," Regina said. "I hired him back in the Enchanted Forest because he was the best one out there. Of course he's going to find me."

"So we go to your vault," Emma said. "Even if he gets there, he won't be able to get in."

"And what, I hide there for the rest of my days?" Regina asked. "No thank you. I prefer to face my problems head on."

"And I prefer you alive," Emma countered.

"Look, there's a way to make you both happy," Snow said, interrupting them both. "Go into the forest. That way you can face him, but you're not in a place where other people could get hurt."

Emma looked around the crowded diner. "She has a point."

Regina nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me."

"Why hasn't he found us yet?" Emma asked, pacing back and forth. "You said he was a good hunter."

"He is," Regina said, sitting calmly on a fallen log. "Chances are he already found me and is waiting for you to leave so that he can kill me without any witnesses. Isn't that right?"

Graham stepped out from behind a tree and smiled at Regina. "Your abilities to detect when you're being watched never cease to amaze me."

Regina shrugged. "Years of practice."

Graham glanced over at Emma, who was frozen into place at seeing Graham again. She had been there when he had died. It had taken a long time for her to forgive Regina for what had happened, and now here he was. Digging up all of those painful memories again.

"Emma?" Graham asked. "Are you okay? You look like you're about to fall over."

"How would you feel if you were alive and I came back from the dead?" Emma asked.

"Touché," Graham said. "Anyway, I didn't come here to chat. I've been given a mission, and if I complete it I not only get Emma back, but I also get to stay alive. Win win."

"Not exactly for me," Regina said.

"True," Graham agreed. "And yet, I have a feeling you'll like it in the Underworld. It's nice. Then again, you have a lot of unhappy people down there that you killed."

"I'm well aware," Regina said. "We've already visited, and I'd rather like not to make it a permanent trip."

"Should have thought of that before you killed me," Graham said, pulling out the dagger that he had once been supposed to kill Snow with.

"Don't do this," Emma pleaded. She stepped forward, blocking Graham's path to Regina. "You don't have to kill her."

"If I don't, I have to return to the Underworld," Graham said. "And as much as you two didn't like it, imagine living there for years. Never moving on because your unfinished business is-" He stopped himself. He wasn't allowed to tell Emma what it was.

"What?" Emma asked. "What is it? Maybe we can help you with your unfinished business and then you can move on."

"I can't tell you," Graham said. "If I tell you, I pay the price. One way ticket back to where I came from."

Regina looked at Graham. Finally, it clicked. "Kiss him."

"What?" Emma asked, spinning around to face Regina. "Are you crazy? I'm not going to kiss the man who's trying to kill you!"

"That's his unfinished business," Regina said. "Besides, I killed him first and you've kissed me."

"You've kissed her?" Graham asked.

Emma turned back around to face him. "It's a long story. But why would your unfinished business be kissing me? We kissed before you died."

"True Love," Regina said. "He never got the chance to test if you were True Love's or not because all of your kisses were just sexual."

"If I can get rid of her," Graham said, pointing his dagger at Regina. "Then you and I can be together. That's what we wanted before I died, and now we can pick up where we left off."

Emma shook her head. "I can't let you kill her."

"Why not?" Graham asked. "She was doing unspeakable things in this town, even before you got here. Why not get rid of her and save the town from her terror?"

"She's changed," Emma said. "She isn't the Evil Queen anymore. And I love her."

"You what?" Graham asked.

"You want to see what True Love's kiss looks like?" Emma asked. She spun on her heel and walked over to Regina, kissing her. Magic rippled in the air, so much so that Graham could feel it all over his body.

"You showed my mother mercy once," Emma said. "You chose not to kill her because you saw something in her that was worth saving. Please do the same for Regina. And if you won't do it for Regina, do it for me. Don't take my True Love away from me."

Graham stood there for several minutes before finally slipping his dagger back into its holder. Both Emma and Regina sighed in relief. No one was going to die today. Except maybe Graham.

"What about your unfinished business?" Emma asked.

Graham shrugged. "You guessed wrong. My unfinished business was to see you happy. You always looked like the world was beating down on you and I just wanted to take that away. For you to look happy for once. And you do."

"You told us what your unfinished business was," Regina said. "Doesn't that mean that you should be going back to the Underworld?"

Graham nodded. "I can feel him taking me back. It was nice seeing you both again."

"Have a good afterlife," Emma said. Graham smiled before disappearing in blue flames.

"Do you think he got to move on?" Emma asked.

Regina stood up and grabbed her hand, both of them walking back towards the edge of the forest where the bug was waiting. "I think so."

They walked along for a while before Regina suddenly laughed. "What's so funny?" Emma asked.

"It's just ironic," Regina said. "He came here to kill me with the same dagger that he almost killed your mother with. I'd say that dagger is bad luck for his hunting skills."

Emma laughed. "Bad luck indeed."
