"What does that mean?" Robin asked Regina when she finished her conversation with Rumplestilstkin.
"He thinks that because I'm The Dark One's daughter that I can tap into the Dark One's magic that is inside of me. And just because I used it before doesn't mean that I can do it again."
"How did you use it before?"
"I just knew what was going to happen, I don't know how to do it again or how did I do it before."
"Did any of those situations had something in common?" Robin asked her.
"I don't know! I'm gonna kill him when I see him, because he can't say where it is, all he says is 'tap in your magic, Regina, feel it's power'. How the hell I'm supposed to do that, it's a freaking plant not a human?!"
"Calm down, try to remember when you used it, what did you see, feel, do?"
"First time I saw Snow's baby, I remember every single thing about that. And then there was that thing when I knew when Zelena was going to cast the curse. And a few small things in the last months when we were in The Enchanted Forest, nothing important." Regina explained.
"And how would you use your magic to search for a human?" He asked.
"I'd feel their presence, the power, the influence they have on people around them."
"Then do the same for the plant. You can do it, Regina, just focus."
"Easier said then done."
Storybrooke
"He is in the forest, but he's not." Ruby said
"I am in no mood for your wolf... problems. Can you smell him or not?"
"That's the thing. I'm conflicted, it's different, like he's been turned into an animal or something." Ruby explained.
"What if he has?" Belle asked.
"Has what?" Emma asked her.
"What if he's been really turned into an animal, a flying monkey to be precise?" Belle said and looked to see if anyone was catching up to her thoughts.
"Yes, that makes sense, actually. Zelena has always had a fascination with flying things, I need to contact Regina, but I don't know how." Rumplestilstkin added.
"Can't you use the necklace?" Belle asked
"No, the necklace works only if she needs to talk to me."
"Why do you need her help anyway?" Emma asked.
"There is a potion in my castle that can undo any spell, bite, curse. It can turn someone or something back to the way they were before." Rumplestilstkin explained.
"Maybe she already took it." Emma suggested.
"Perhaps." Rumple said.
"What are you not telling us?" Belle asked when she noticed his strange behaviour.
"We'll deal with it later, Ruby can you get us to the exact place where he is?" Ruby nodded.
"Let's get going." They all followed her as she moved through the forest, she stopped when they all heard a screeching of the monkey.
"Is that him?"
"Yes." Ruby said and Rumple froze the monkey and put a protection spell around it.
"What did you do to him?" Emma asked.
"I froze him, he'll be safe until Regina comes back. It's all up to her now." He waved his hand and the monkey disappeared, he did it once again and the red smoke rounded them all and they appeared in his shop.
Enchanted Forest
"Now, we go back to my castle, help the people and go back home." Regina said after she finally found the flower, it took them some time but she succeeded. The smoke rounded them both and they were in the entrance hall of her castle and Regina put Henry's backpack on the ground.
"That's weird, there should be someone here." Robin commented and went on to check all the rooms in the castle.
"Don't move!" A voice boomed behind Regina.
"Wasn't planning to." She said and turned around. "Well, well, good to see you again." Regina said.
"Why are you back? You left with the curse, you could have stayed there." She seemed almost desperate.
"Because I remembered. The better question is why are you here?"
"Eric, I couldn't find Eric, I've swam across Neverland, Enchanted Forest, but I couldn't get to Storybrooke. Is he there?" Ariel said.
"I'm sorry, he's not." Regina said and Ariel looked like she was about to cry. "But, wait, maybe I could to something about it."
"What are you going to do?" Ariel asked.
"Just a little trick I've been working on. Now, tell me everything about Eric." She said and closed her eyes, she listened to Ariel's voice and soon the red smoke appeared in the room, Eric appeared with it, he was clearly in the middle of the sentence.
"Where am I?" He looked around and noticed Ariel. "Ariel, I've missed you." He said and went on the kiss her.
"Stop, don't kiss." Regina said. "I'm going to leave the room, and then you can be as mushy as you want." She said an turned around to leave.
"Regina." Ariel's voice stopped her. "Thank you." Regina smiled and said "Anytime." before she continued walking. She met Robin halfway to the Throne room.
"Hey. Did you found someone?" Regina asked him.
"Yes, your guards and the people are all in the ball room, I don't think that they have enough food and water." He said, then she waved her hand and send red smoke in the ball room.
"What was that?"
"Hmm? Oh, those are unlimited sources of food, water, supplies, clothes, everything they need to survive."
"But that was red smoke, your magic is purple."
"I guess that's what you get when you mix red and purple. Let's go home." She said and picked up Henry's backpack from the ground.
Regina had her eyes closed and thought about Storybroke, soon, she heard rustling of the wind and felt the magic grow stronger, she opened her eyes and a portal was in front of them.
"And now we jump in."
"Jump in? You mean like jump into the portal you just summoned? No, thanks, I think I'll..." But before he could finish Regina pushed him into it and jumped in.
