The Evil Queen stood back up and rubbed her forehead, "It's late and although I would love to torture you again, Emma, I need to sleep.I will heal you, but it's only so we can play later."

"Emma needs more appropriate clothing. You wouldn't want to ruin her skin, would you?"

The Evil Queen had an angry look on her face. "I'm capable of turning your insides out. Never speak to me like that again! I will give her better clothing, but only because I love the way her precious flesh turns red."

Emma's wounds had completely healed as the Evil Queen left the dungeon in a puff of smoke. Regina felt relief as the blonde's clothes went from rags to a dress shirt and pants. It looked similar to what her father wore back in the Enchanted Forest.

"Thank you, Regina."

Emma was facing her and actually looked a little nervous. She held onto Regina for dear life and the brunette held her closer. The sobs were muffled by Emma burying her face in Regina's neck.

"I hate the position that I put you in. If I had known that she…"

"Yeah, but you didn't. I don't blame you. Just promise me that when you see Henry again, tell him.."

"No, don't you dare talk like that. We are both going home to him." Regina said gently.

"He needs you, Regina, he doesn't need me. You were the one that raised him since birth. Who am I compared to you? I come into his life when he's ten. You even told me that I wasn't fit to be a mother."

Regina frowned, "That was before, Emma. You have grown since then and I have seen a change in you. You are becoming a good mother. Do you think I woke up one day knowing how to care for Henry? I made many mistakes as a parent, but I learned from them."

Emma was too weak to argue any further and nodded her head sleepily. All the sobbing had drained her of all of her energy.

"Can we go to sleep, Regina?"

"Of course."

Regina wrapped her arms around Emma as they laid down on the bed. She pulled the warm blankets over the two of them and closed their eyes.

They were able to dream about being far away from this hellish place and back at home with Henry.

"Aren't you two love birds the most adorable things?" The Evil Queen said in a sarcastic tone. She was looking down at them and Regina opened her eyes first. She wanted Emma to get a bit more rest.

"She can't hear us. I wanted to speak to you privately, so for now, she'll stay asleep."

"You didn't put her under the sleeping curse, did you?"

"I can't have fun with my little play thing if I did." Her eyes had a lusty gaze as her eyes focused on Emma for a split second before looking at Regina again.

"She's not yours to have."

"Oh? You can't claim her if I already have her in my clutches. Who are you to tell a queen what she can and cannot do? Must I remind you of the power that I have?"

Regina got out of the bed and made sure that Emma was comfortable. She stood right in front of the Evil Queen.

"And I'm supposed to be scared of you because you have magic?"

The Evil Queen was taller than Regina in her heels, "I can kill you just a flick of my wrist." She demonstrated by doing just that, but nothing happened.

"What is happening? You should be dead!"

"You forgot that when it comes to magic, you can't hurt yourself."

Regina had the purple smoke surround her and revealed what she actually looked like to the Evil Queen.

The Evil Queen let out a growl, "Don't think that this is over because it's far from it." She put a black bracelet on Regina's wrist which stopped her from using magic. The Evil Queen is the only one that could remove it.

"Well Regina, I won't allow you to have your happy ending. Emma is mine."

A purple cloud surrounded herself and Emma. Regina tried to grab onto Emma as she disappeared, but failed. She was supposed to protect Emma, yet the blonde woman was gone.

She was going to get out of this prison and get Emma back even without her magic. She was a strong woman with or without her magic. She promised Emma that they would both return home and she was going to see to that.

Emma was stirring from her sleep and reached over to find Regina, but she wasn't there. She opened her eyes more and saw that she wasn't in the prison anymore. Instead, she was in the Evil Queen's bed and she tried to get out of it as soon as possible.

As she made her way to the door, giant chains came out of the floor. Emma was stuck in the middle of the room by these chains holding her captive. She had shackles on her wrists and her ankles.

"Raena or should I say Regina revealed herself to me. She wanted to save your measly life. I don't understand what would make you worth anything. She's not in love with you. The only person she and I had ever loved was Daniel. Trust me, you are far from being him."

Emma remembered Regina telling her how Cora had ripped out his heart and crushed it. She cradled his dead body in her arms. Her happy ending had supposedly ended there.

"I never tried to be Daniel!"

The Evil Queen slapped Emma so hard that some blood landed on her shirt.

"You have no right to say ever say his name!"

She paced back and forth angrily. Today was the anniversary of Daniel's death and she wouldn't let anybody say his name to her. She wouldn't be surprised if her other self was remembering today as well.

Regina held on tighter to Emma's jacket. She was actually crying. Was she crying for herself? Emma? Daniel? Henry?

The tears went from being ones of sadness to anger. She would let her former self know what true evil was.

She called a guard over and demanded that he open the door at once. He ignored her until she said that she had to use the restroom.

"Your Majesty? How did you end up in here? The prisoner has escaped!" The two guards were so confused.

"Will you let me out or will you keep standing there like an idiot? Open this door immediately!" Regina snapped.

Both guards had their helmet off. One of them opened it and the moment he did, Regina punched him in the face. The guard fell over, backed up right into the other guard, and they broke the wooden table.

Regina winced and silently applauded Emma for her skills in knocking people out. She ran up the stairs as fast as she could and did everything she could to get to Emma before it was too late.
