Emma groggily opened her eyes to see Regina looming over her, shaking her frantically. She quickly blinked to clear her vision, noting that it was still dark in the bedroom.

"What's going on?" Emma asked, rubbing her eyes. "It's really early. Or late. It's still dark out."

"We need to go," Regina said, tugging on Emma's arm to get her up. "Let's go."

"Why do we need to go?" Emma asked. "And where are we going?"

"I have a safe house in my vault that I stayed in at one point when no one was really in favor of me," Regina said. "I'm taking you there."

"You didn't answer my first question," Emma said. "Why do we need to go?"

"Not important," Regina said, tugging harder at Emma's arm. "What's important is that you get up so we can leave now while the town is sleeping."

Emma tried to pull her arm from Regina's grasp. "Let go Gina."

Regina shook her head. "We need to go."

Emma looked at Regina closer and saw the tear tracks on her cheeks, and how her eyes showed that she wasn't completely there yet. "Did you have a nightmare?"

Regina looked down at her feet. "Maybe."

"Regina, let go of my arm," Emma said gently. "I'll go with you."

Regina nodded before letting go of Emma's arm. Emma gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her down onto the bed in front of her. "What was your nightmare about?"

"You," Regina said softly.

Emma nodded. "What about me?"

"He came after you," Regina mumbled. "With Gold."

"With Gold?" Emma asked. "Gold said that he's on our side. That he's trying to be better for Belle."

"You really believe that?" Regina asked. "He hasn't changed at all in the all the years that I've known him."

Emma shrugged. "You never know."

"I do know," Regina said, shuddering. "He's going to help Gideon and come after you, and they're going to kill you. Then Gideon will become the Savior and go after the Black Fairy. That's why we need to go."

"That was a dream," Emma said soothingly. "Nothing is going to really happen to me."

"You don't know that," Regina insisted. She reached out and grabbed Emma's arm, poofing them to the safe house without any further argument. She had to keep Emma safe.

"You're making me nervous," Emma said. "Come sit."

Regina shook her head. "I need to make sure that no one barges in here."

"It has a barrier around it," Emma said. "No one and nothing is going to get in here. Now come sit before I just come over and drag you down."

Sighing, Regina reluctantly sat beside her. "There's nothing exciting happening in town if that's what you're wondering."

Groaning, Emma flopped back on the bed. "I need to get out of here. I'm going to die of boredom if I don't leave soon."

"But you're safe," Regina pointed out.

"Safe is boring," Emma said. "I've never been safe in my entire life. I could just walk out."

"You know how well that went for you last time," Regina said. She had set up the barrier so that only she could get in and out. Emma had tried, even using her magic to try and break it out. Regina's magic was stronger than she had thought.

"Regina please," Emma begged. "I'm the Savior. It's my job to be up there taking care of the town, not hiding underground in a safe house."

"You're more important than the town," Regina said.

"Says the creator of the town," Emma countered.

"Oh hush," Regina said, getting up. "I'm going to go check on Henry. Don't go anywhere."

"Regina wait!" Emma exclaimed. "Please. Just let me go outside for one second and then you can keep me here forever."

Regina bit her lip as she thought about it. "Still no."

"Regina," Emma whined.

"I love you," Regina said. "That means that I cannot lose you. And the only way that I can prevent losing you is if I keep you safe."

"I love you too," Emma said. "But I can't stay here forever. Eventually I'm going to have to leave and face Gideon. He won't leave town until I do."

Regina shook her head frantically. "Let's not think about that."

"We're going to have to at some point," Emma argued. "Gideon isn't going to go away, and we both know it. Please."

"Fine," Regina said softly. "But you have to promise me that you're going to stay safe."

Emma sighed. "You know I can't-"

"Promise me," Regina pleaded.

"Okay," Emma said. "I promise that I'll try my hardest to stay safe against Gideon."

Regina sighed before taking down the barrier around the room. Emma smiled before standing up and walking over to wrap her arms around Regina. "Thank you."

Regina hugged her back tightly. "You're welcome. Now do me a favor and don't just run into trouble."

Emma chuckled. "Yes ma'am."
