All Emma could think about on the ride to Regina's house was how strange this was. Why was she doing this? Does she have something planned? Will these effects only get worse? Emma's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Regina's firm voice warning her. "I didn't get to tell you this but you can not, whatever you do take off that medallion. The problems that could occur if you do could cost you your life." This worried Emma and had obviously come as a shock to Henry as his eyes widened and he looked considerably worried. The three of them then arrived at Regina's house where Regina helped Emma up the stairs, showed her to the guest room, and then put Henry to bed. The mayor then came into the guest room and said "Are you feeling okay Miss. Swan?"
"I'm still really dizzy, slightly confused, and still feel like passing out. That's normal right?" Emma said with a smile.
"Completely. If you need anything just let me know" Regina said in a motherly voice.
"Oh, and Regina… thank you. For everything." Emma said quietly
Regina just nodded and walked back out of the door. The whole night Emma couldn't sleep. All she could think about was how nice Regina was being, what was going to happen after this, and how Mary Margaret and David would react to all of this. They did have a habit of worrying just a little too much.
There was a sharp pounding at the door the next day and Emma knew exactly who it was. Henry ran to the door and it was exactly who she expected it to be, Mary Margaret and David. Emma couldn't hear what they were saying but next thing she knew the three of them were standing in the guest room looking as worried as they possibly could. Mary Margaret ran up to Emma's bed and hugged her tight.
"Thank god you are okay" Mary Margaret whispered into Emma's ear.
"I'm glad you were concerned but I am still not feeling to great" Emma said with a slight smile.
Regina then quickly ran in and gave Mary Margaret and David an angry look and sternly said
"What are you two just doing here in my house?"
Emma had knew Regina hadn't lost her dark side, it was still there, just not for her, which was strange considering how much she hated Emma just two days before the incident. The couple gave Emma a loving look and quickly left, know what Regina would do if they didn't. Once they had left Regina walked over to Emma's bed and asked
"Do you think that you are well enough to come somewhere with me?" Regina asked.
"Um…yea I guess so. Where are we going?" Emma asked very curiously.
"To Mr. Gold's shop, he's going to teach you how to control the powerful magic that is now contained within you know." Regina answered with complete confidence.
This news frightened Emma a little and she wasn't sure how to react to this news. Should she go?
"I'll go, but only I you can promise me that there will be none of those Evil Queen tricks on me."
Regina looked slightly offended by the comment, but nodded and gestured for Emma to follow her downstairs. Still fully dressed from the night before, Emma followed Regina downstairs and out the door, into her car. Silently, and quite awkwardly they drove to Mr. Gold's shop where he was waiting outside the door.
"Ah… hello there dearies. I was wondering where my company for the day had gotten to." Gold said in a slightly sarcastic voice.
"Hilarious. Now let's get started with this 'lesson'" Emma said even more sarcastically, expecting this to be an easy, laidback lesson. Little did she know this magic had even more brutal effects than she could ever imagine, and she was about to experience all of them.
