Emma knew she shouldn't be at the harbor, but she needed to do something. She tried to find the ship which Andy had been talking about but couldn't seem to find it. It must be somewhere here! Come on, Emma! You are good finding things! She studied her surroundings and finally found seagull who disappeared in thin air. There! Emma run to the empty dock and started to feel her surroundings like a blind woman. Finally she felt a rope. She entered to the ship which was empty. No-one was there. Hook wouldn't leave this place with out a guard. Or would he? After all, no-one wouldn't see this. She walked around before she went down to the hull. She couldn't believe when she saw Miranda sitting there in a cell.

"Miranda!"

"Emma, oh thank God someone found me!"

"Andy knows you are alive and she has to play along for a little longer. She might come here looking for you if I don't get her in time to tell her so."

"Oh, this is just too good to be true." There was a cold voice behind Emma's back. Shit. How much had she heard?

"The savior in my ship." Cora said.

"Cora, this is still my ship." Hook tried to say.

"No, it is not as long as I am here." She stalked closer to Emma. "We meet again, Sheriff."

"Cora." Emma answered. "I could say it's nice to meet you again, but I would be lying."

"Oh, you don't like me then? Too bad that I am your potential mother in law."

"It's not that I don't like you. You never gave me the chance to get to know you and then you tried to rip my heart out. It really made me think should I even try to like you." Emma backed away finding herself against the cell's bar's.

"Hook, dear. Open the cell door for our new guest." The man opened the door for Emma.

"Ma'am." He bowed to her.

They both stood there. They both were now Cora's prisoners. "You know that was really stupid to came alone here."

"Yeah, I figured that out all by myself, Miranda."

"Oh, ladies. Andrea will be joining us soon so keep it to yourselves." Cora flicked her wrist to silence them. They both had lost their voices to talk. Shit, indeed.

Regina was getting worried. Emma hadn't come home for dinner and she couldn't find her anywhere. She tried to call Emma's phone but it went straight to the voicemail. "Emma, where the hell are you?" She left the house to go to the sheriff's station but she only found David there.

"Regina, what are you doing here?"

"Have you seen Emma?"

"No, I thought she was with you."

"Well, obviously she isn't. Where the hell did she go?" Regina's worry was getting better of her.

"Did you two have a fight?" David sounded hopeful.

"No, we didn't. Rea came to us this morning and told where they might keep Miranda..." Then it hit her. "David, tell me that your daughter isn't so stupid she would go there alone?"

"Can't say that." Because it would be exactly what he would do.

"We need to get there. Right now!"

"I'll call Snow."

"Call me why?" Snow walked in.

"No time to explain." Regina took a hold on their hands and off they went in side the purple smoke.

Her two passengers were trying to hold on to their dinners when they got to the harbor.

"Oh, get yourselves together." Regina rolled her eyes. She took out her phone and called Ruby. The girl answered in seconds. "I need you to get my mothers heart and I need you to get to the harbor as soon as possible...You have that scarf I gave you?" Regina waited an answer. " Good, now You know how she smells.. it will help you to find it. You know where to look?" Yet again she waited for Ruby' s answer. This time the girl repeated what she had told her earlier today. She was about to end her call, but before that she had to say:"Thank you, Ruby. And Ruby. Hurry." She hang up. It was never too late to be nice.

"You two ready to move on or do I have to waist another minute with you two?"

"Let them take a breather." She heard her sister's voice behind them. She felt reliefed to see her but then she noticed her sisters troubled eyes. "Are you alright?"

"I don't know. Mom did something to me. I can feel it." Andy shook her head. "Anyways, do you have the heart?"

"I called Ruby to find it now."

"Okay, you ready to take her down?"

"No, but do we have another choice?"

"Not really." Andy tried to smile but failed. "But she has our true loves and I am ready to die for them."

"Me too." They turned to go. "So you know where that ship is?"

"Not exactly." Andy took her wand and started to shoot small white sparks until it hit the void. They found their way in and went for it. Regina was ready with two fireballs in both of her hands and Andy was ready with her wand. They knew they had to go down to the hull.

"I'll go first. All we know they might be only expecting me.. you might as well have the chance to be the surprise party with the Charmings." Andy told her.

"Alright. Be careful." She whispered.

To Andy those stairs seemed endless, but when she got down she felt her sixth sense was warning her like hell's fire. She had developed one on her Aurory days. It had come to good use then, but right now she knew she was walking in to a trap. She found the cell where Miranda and Emma were. They tried to yell, but Andy already knew they had lost their voices. She flicked her wand so they could talk again. She ran to Miranda and took a hold on her hands.

"It's a trap." She barely whispered.

"I know."

"Right on time, dear." Her mother said behind her.

"Mother." Andy acted surprised.

"Oh, don't be so sullen to find me here."

"Why, mother?" They both knew there wasn't reason to lie.

"Because I need you to teach me your magic."

Andy laughed at her mother.

"Oh, my my. You need me to teach you? How the mighty have fallen."

"No, not fallen. In time I could figure it out on my own but why do so when I have you, whom I can take it from?" Her mother smirked.

"Well, dear mother." Andy faced Cora fully. "Where is your heart?"

"Oh, why would I tell you that? Do you really think I would tell anyone?"

"No, you just need it if you want to learn." Andy lay down her wand. "You see, in this world. Magic comes from your heart and before you think about ripping my heart out I really need to tell you that it wont work. You need your own heart for it. Because it is connected to your unique signature." Cora's eyes went blank for a second.

"I will not let you put my heart back inside me."

"That is up to you, but if you want to learn. You need your heart to do so." Andy carefully studied her mother. Her emotions were all over the small space and she could feel how the magic cracked in there. "You will not win like this." Her mother growled. "You will not win." Her voice was getting louder. "YOU WILL NOT TAKE AWAY WHAT I NEED!" Cora yelled at her. Andy was about to raise her wand but her mother was faster. She flew against on those iron bars. She could hear Miranda calling her name in fear. Andy tried to get up but she couldn't. Her mother was about to snap her neck when suddenly she fell on the ground releasing her. Regina stood behind their mother. She was held tightly by Regina's binds. Andy got up and opened the cell's door to let out the two women. Miranda took her in tight hug and thanked every God she knew and those who she didn't. Andy could see Emma doing the same thing to Regina.

"What took you so long?" She asked.

"I was held up."

"Hook?"

"Yes, your parents are looking after him on the deck." Regina kissed Emma.

"What are we waiting for? We need to get out of here." Miranda was more than just ready to leave.

"No, we need to wait for Ruby."

"Why?"

Regina let their mother go, but Andy secured her by a spell which kept her in place. She couldn't puff her way out of the ship or do anything else to harm them.

"What are you going to do to me?" Cora spat out.

"You dear mother of ours. Are getting your heart back as soon as it gets here." Regina smiled to her mother. "You might remember what love was."

"No, no! I don't want it!"

"We didn't ask you what you want, mother. You never asked us." Andy spat back to her.

"Guys, you really know how to make this interesting." Ruby came down with a box. "Can I crush this?"

"No." The sisters said at the same time.

"Oh, you two are boring."

"Ruby, a second ago you disagreed." Andy smirked.

Regina took the heart form the box. "Ready, mother?"

The older woman tried to struggle but it really was useless. The heart entered their mother's chest and they saw how their mother changed in front of their eyes. "Oh." Their mother breathed. The warmth and care came into her eyes. It was really surreal to watch, but when their mother tried to hug them both, they stepped back.

"You don't have the right to touch us." Regina told her. It hurt their mother, but she really did deserve it. Just in time, David came to see how they were.

"Deputy, you may arrest this woman." Andy pushed the older woman to David who took his hand cuffs and started to read her rights. Cora was truly crying right now telling how sorry she was.

"Mom," Andy called after her. "Give us time." The hope on their mothers eyes was enough to let them know that she would do anything to get their trust.

"We are going back to New York." Miranda closed her eyes. "And I will drag you if I have to, but you are not going to stay here." They had arrived to the mansion.

"There are few things we have to do before that." Andy said. "We need to get that cloak down.. and I really need to find away to keep contact with Regina and her family."

"I don't care how you do it. Just do it so we can go home." She took Andrea in her arms. "I will not leave here without you."

"Yes, Miranda." Andy smirked at her lover.

"Mom," Regina heard Henry's voice in front of her. She had been in deep thoughts thinking about the cloak.

"Yes, Henry." The memory of her son's words still stung in her heart.

"I wanted to.. I just wanted to say that I am sorry for being so cruel to you." The boy hang his head in shame.

"You are forgiven."

Henry smiled and ran to his mother's arms. "I really really really love you, mom. I do."

"I know and I love you too."

"Do you love Emma?"

"Yes, dear. I do very much."

"Good."

Cora sat in her own cell. She stood up and started to murmur small words. Soon there was purple smoke coming to her. The town still stayed hidden but now they could connect with the world again. She smiled. Oh, she had magic. But she wouldn't use it to her own gain anymore. She would use it to help others and in time she hoped to get her children's trust again. It might take a long time, but she wouldn't give up.

She finally had love and she finally believed that love was strength because there wasn't a thing what she wouldn't do for her children. Cora had done so much evil things to people she loved and to those she really didn't know. In her heart she felt a strong need to make things right again. Cora didn't expect forgiveness which she wouldn't get, but she could make things better for everyone.

She had always loved her children, but without her heart she had never really felt it. Now she did and she was ready to feel more, everything. Cora knew her girls wouldn't be together if Regina hadn't done the counter curse against her deadly one and she was thankful for it. She had been ready to kill everyone who stood between her and her goal and now all those people were here in Storybrooke. Cora made the decision that she would tell all of them. That Regina had saved them from her and she was ready to die for her sins.

It was time for Cora to be the mother whom her children had missed all these years. Cora smiled the first time in her life. Happiness was something she had never before had and she liked the feeling in her heart. If she was to die now, she would do it gladly with a smile. Amen.

Andy lay next to Miranda and stared the sealing. Her lover had been asleep for a while now. Good, she thought. Miranda needed that more than she was ready admit To anyone.

Andy's mind was buzzing like a beehive and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with her. She could hear her heart beat like always, giving her life. But something was off. Andy got up from their bed. She couldn't sleep and she needed to get something to drink. When she arrived to Regina's kitchen she felt a small jolt in her chest. Not really understanding what it was she took a glass of water and took a sip. Moments later she felt excruciating pain on her chest. It felt like her heart was burning it's way out of her. The glass had fallen on to the floor and it had spilled and shattered in million pieces.

Then the pain was gone as fast as it had come.

"Mother, what have you done?" She looked at her chest which was covered with black lines. It was spreading like poison and she could feel her heart was dying. Andy dressed up and kissed Miranda's forehead. The older woman stirred and woke up just a little bit to ask where she was going. "Just going out a bit. I'll be back soon. Sleep my love."

"Hurry back." The older woman said and turned to hug Andy's pillow. With out a nother words she left the mansion. She had to have a little chat with her dear mother.

Andy couldn't use her magic. Her heart was dying and she could feel her magic getting weak. It was too dangerous to do now.

Her mother was awake when she walked in to the station. David was asleep on his desk and wouldn't be waken any time soon. "Mother," Andy called. The woman smiled and stood up from her bed. The older woman could see her daughters disturbed eyes. "Dear, what's wrong?" Andy stepped closer to the pars and started to unbutton her shirt and showed her mother her chest. "What have you done?"

Cora touched her daughters chest barely before Andy pulled away from her. She felt horrible what she had done to her daughter. "Oh, that." She said. "I...well..."

"Out with it! What did you do, mom?" She could feel her daughters fear as anger leaping out to her.

Cora took a deep breath: "I might have tried to take your heart out, but couldn't."

"What?" Andy's Voice had lost it' anger.

"You heard me." Cora couldn't look at Andy. She felt sick to her stomach.

"Wh-why?"

"Because I wanted to know, but then..." Cora intently studied her nails.

"What, mother?"Andy was leaning on the prison pars.

"I couldn't take it out."

"Yeah I heard that, mom. What happened and don't you dare leave anything out!"

"First I tried to break your mind, but obviously couldn't. So I got frustrated and went for your heart, but something stopped me. This awful pain shot right to my hand and I may have accidentally cursed your heart." Cora mumbled the last part.

"You cursed my heart, how could you?" She could see the disappointment on her daughters face.

"I'm sorry, dear. I truly am."

"You need to fix this."

"I thought it would already be fixed or have you already forgotten that the true loves kiss will break every curse?"

They had kissed. They had made love. They had done all those things, but her heart was still cursed. Was it possibe that Miranda wasn't her true love? No, she was. Andy could feel it in her dying heart.

"Explain why it didn't work and don't try to say she's not my true love, because I know she is. I can feel it in my heart."

"There could be million reasons, dear. Maybe you aren't the one for her. It is known fact in enchanted forrest that true love can be one sided."

"Other options, mom. You need to give me other choises because mother, I want to live."

"It could also be that Miranda is too different from you. That she is just too normal to save you."

"You know as well as I that's not true. There isn't anthing normal about her."

"Her heart is, her blood is."

"Options, mom?"

"Well, we could change her. We could find another true love with the ability to save you. We could take your heart out and seal it until we find a cure."

"There is no other cure than a kiss?"

"Apparently no dear. Not in this realm." Andy left her mother without another word. her tears were bloody which she frist didn't notice, but when she did she knew she would die in few days. She walked and walked until her legs gave out just before Gia's mansion. She sat on the steps and cleaned her bloody eyes. Oh, what was she going to do now?
