I didn't want to move. I didn't want to start processing that Emma was gone, never to return, never to be seen again. At least, not the same Emma. Why she was so determined to save her drunken sailer, I had no idea, but she was certainly one for making great sacrifices, she always had been, constantly going out of her way to make others happy, sometimes at the expense of herself. But this, this was too much.
I leant back against the wall, slowly sliding to the floor. Emma was probably half way to hell by now, I doubted Mary Margaret would mind my absence on the adventure. Although we'd come a long way, she wouldn't be one to question my whereabouts or wellbeing at a time like this. That was what Emma. Oh Emma, what have you done?
My phone rang out from my pocket, breaking into my thoughts. No doubt it was Robin, probably in search of a reason for my disappearance. Strange, it was none other than the aforementioned formed enemy herself. Clearing my throat to sound as normal as possible, I answered it "Hello?"
"Regina, something's wrong. It's Emma, she doesn't remember you, she's…different. She'd never get angry like this, not in front of Henry. We need you're help" I let out a long sigh. "I did this….it was at her request, her sudden change in…temperament…is to be expected. There's nothing we can do. I suggest you hurry your arrangements for your journey" I could hear Charming talking to her in the background, and the faint sound of shouting. "Regina, we need you to come with us, she still wants to share a heart with Hook, she can't do it herself, plus we need some magical back up that isn't Rumplestiltskin"
I sighed. Emma deserved this, no matter what my feelings about the leather-clad pirate. If this is what she wanted, I should help. But for one thing, Emma didn't trust me now. Hell, she didn't even know who I was. How was I supposed to help her now? That, and I didn't know how I'd manage, seeing her look at me with no feeling. I may have been blind to her affections, but I knew she cared. That was enough. It'd been bad enough with Henry, I have no idea how I could cope the second time around. "Regina?" Snow asked tentatively. "Fine. I'll be there. But she won't like it"
