Hey guys So weird thing. I posted the chapter last night and it showed when I clicked on my story, but for some reason didn't updated. Weird. Okay, so I'm trying again and seeing if it works this time.

Enchanted Forest-Regina's Castle

The Evil Queen looked at all the ingredients she had at hand. She had all that she needed for the dark curse except for one thing, a heart. The heart of something she loved. Regina knew whose heart that she needed. It wasn't her father's nor daughter's, but the one of her faithful steed, Rocinante. It brought her no joy in knowing what she must do. She made sure it was the last thing she done, for she did not want to harm her companion.

What she felt in the inside did not show to others as she marched towards the stables. She needed to enact the curse before Snow was to give birth to her child. Regina didn't want another Charming running around in her new world. Being alone and pregnant seemed like a fitting punishment for her stepdaughter. As for Regina, she would make sure that Evie would be by her side, loyal to her mother and in return Regina would give only the best to her only child.

The search for her child had never stopped, even when Regina made that announcement that she would destroy Snow's and her prince's lives. She had her in her grasp a few time only to slip away. Regina could had sworn that she had felt her daughter's magic at the wedding, but couldn't see her. Evie was lucky that Regina didn't see her or else Regina would had brought her home. If Evie thought that her home was a prison before, she didn't know the true extent on what Regina had in mind for her.

Regina didn't hate her daughter for what she had done. No, Regina loved her daughter no matter what. But she had to be punished for her actions. Regina would never be as harsh as her own mother, but she understood why her mother did what she did.

The Evil Queen halt as she saw her father in the stables. To those who didn't know the man wouldn't think this was strange. As for Regina it was strange, for her father never comes to this part of the castle.

"Daddy," her voice rang out, causing the old man to quickly turn to see her. He looked like a child that got caught stealing a cookie for the cookie jar.

"Regina," he said with a shock tone in his voice. "What are you doing here?" He looked around nervously.

"I should be asking you the same thing," Regina cautiously walked closer to him. Her eyes landed on a satchel on the ground near her father's feet. "What is that?" Regina took a step, but her father moved in front of it, trying his best to hide it. "Daddy," Regina was confused that her father was trying to hide something from her.

Using her magic, the satchel appeared in her hands as a worried expression formed on her father's face. Regina opened the satchel to see her father's clothes, food, a vial with blue liquid inside of it, and a folded piece of paper. Regina was curious about the small bottle, but even more about the piece of paper. She unfolded it and her heart dropped as she saw who it was from.

Grandfather,

It's ready. I have everything to enact the spell. It is not safe for me to give this to you in person. Mother's guards almost captured me this week. Grandfather there is so much that had happened in so short amount of time. I cannot wait to see you soon. I need your guidance. Now more than ever.

I had hidden the potion in mother's tree late last night when everyone was asleep. I need you to pack yours and mother's things and make preparations to leave as soon as the spell is enacted. We must make haste for time is not on our side. I cannot wait to see you again.

Your Evita

Regina could not stop looking at the letter. I was from Evie. Her Evie. Her daughter is all right. Her father knew she was all right. He lied to her. Regina could hear her father calling to her. She couldn't believe it, her father would betray her. He purposely kept her daughter away from her.

"You know where she was at," she growled as her hand closed into a fist, crumpling the paper in the process. She looked up to see fear in her father's eyes.

"Regina," he started but Regina stopped him.

"All this time I was looking for her and you knew where she was at," her voice held anger. She could not believe her own father would keep her daughter's well being a secret. How long did he know? Was this her first time coming back to the palace or were there others? Where was she? What is this spell and this blue liquid? "What is she talking about?" Regina growled. "Daddy what spell is she talking about?" She asked again when her father refused to answer her.

Fine, if that's how he wanted to play. Then so be it.

Regina could feel her daughter's magic still lingered on the paper. Closing her eyes, Regina opened the have that held the crumpled paper and waved her free hand over it. Soon, the paper glowed red.

"What are you doing?" Her father asked timidly as the paper began to rise from Regina's hand.

"If you won't tell me where she is," the paper started to fly out the stable door, "then I will find out myself." Regina followed the paper, leaving her father behind.

Storybrooke- Inside the Clock Tower

Evie and Snow watched helplessly as they were tied to seats. The Evil Queen and Lily had left a moment ago, saying that the real fun was about to begin. She was scared of what the two had in store for Emma and Maleficent. Mainly the Evil Queen.

Evie turned her head to the side to see Snow was struggling to get free of her restrains. While Evie on the other hand did not. Even if she was free, what help could she offer anyway. She didn't have her magic, she didn't have her voice. All she could do was watch the events unfold.

Then she saw him. Morgan. He had her necklace. Hope spread throughout her as he handed Maleficent her necklace. He knew what that piece of jewelry meant to her and how she wouldn't never take it off. He had to know that something was wrong.

Then in a puff of orange smoke he was gone. Evie prayed that he would find her soon so she could tell him what the Evil Queen had in store for their sister. She had to stop the Evil Queen. She had to tell Lily the truth.

"You know him don't you?" Snow's voice made her jump. Evie could see curiosity in her older sister's eyes and confusion. As if she was trying to remember. But that was impossible. Snow couldn't remember. Evie nod her head.

"Is he your friend?" Evie nod again.

"How does he know Maleficent? Are they friends?" This time, instead of nodding her head, Evie opened her mouth, trying to speak. But nothing came out.

"You can't speak," Evie sadly looked down and shook her head.

"Have you always been like that?" Evie looked up at Snow and shook her head once more.

"Did someone take your voice?" Snow asked. "Was it the Evil Queen?" Evie slowly nodded her head. She hated not being able to speak. It made her feel useless.

"I wish you can tell me why she would do that to you," Snow said, giving her best comforting smile. Evie mouth me too. Evie looked away, trying to hide the tears that were threatening to fall. She had to be strong. She couldn't let her see her cry.

A gasp left her lips as she saw her mother appear from a puff of smoke. There was no denying it that she did look like the Evil Queen, but she was different at the same time. Obviously she didn't wear those over the top outfit, but she held a look she hasn't seen in years, concerned. Whether it was for Lily or herself, Evie didn't know.

"You're from the Land of Untold Stories," Snow broke Evie's concentration. "She isn't the Evil Queen. She hasn't been for a long time." Evie looked back to her mother, seeing that she had grabbed Maleficent's. A small smile started to form, perhaps this world was good for her mother.

"I know this is crazy, but it feels like i know you from somewhere," Evie looked down, wishing she could tell Snow the truth. Tell her that she was her baby sister. That a smart part might be still upset for what she did to Lily, but she missed and loved her big sister. She wanted to apologize for what she said to her the last time they saw each other. But she couldn't, even if she tried.

Evie stiffened and turned around when she felt a presence of magic. A sigh of relief escaped her lips as the orange smoke disappeared to reveal Morgan. He found her.

"Sophie there you are," he ran behind her and started to untie the rope that was binding her. "Next time I say stay we can figure this out. Stay, don't leave by yourself," the rope fell to her lap and he started to work on the one on her left arm. "That's how you get kidnapped," Evie opened her mouth, trying to speak, hoping that he would get the hint. "Say something," he looked up after he finished her left arm. "Oh," he finally understood what she was doing and understood she could speak. He waved his hand over her face and Evie let out a gasp. "Better?"

"Much. Get me out of this. We have to help them now!" Evie started to pull her right arm. Without a second thought, Morgan started to untie her other arm and Evie started to untie her leg with her free arm. "The Evil Queen is near. She's going to hurt Lily."

"What?" He stopped only for a moment, unsure of what he heard. As Evie began to free her other leg, she told him and Snow what the Evil Queen had planned for those across the street from them.

Enchanted Forest- Evie's Cabin

Evie grabbed a handful the powder form of mistletoe berries she had gotten from Maleficent's garden and threw them into the cauldron. Once the final ingredient fell into the pot, the liquid turn a bright violet color. It was done. All she had to do was put in her mother's hair into the cauldron and the spell will wash over everything and everyone.

Her eyes looked to her window as she saw it was a full moon. It had to be tonight. She had to do it.

She had to save Maleficent's child. Once the spell was cast, Evie would wait for her grandfather and mother and they would used the bean to go to this land without magic. Evie had been up all night using every locator spell she could find. It wasn't until she found this one where she had to sacrifice a piece of her sibling's shell when she had found them. They were safe. Ursula and Cruella were nowhere to be seen, but the child was in safe hands of a man. She was able to track the child down.

Evie had tried to tell Maleficent, but the dragon placed a barrier around her castle. She had tried her best to get through to her mentor, but all attempt was in vain. Evie had left a bottle of the potion that would prevent Maleficent forget Evie's mother at the edge of the barrier. It was up to Maleficent at this point if she would join them or not. Evie hoped that she would.

Soon little one, I will find you. Evie grabbed the memory prevention loss potion and took a gulp. It was now or never. She knew her grandfather had taken it and hoped that Maleficent would do the same.

Before Evie had a chance to get her mother's hair her grandfather had given her, her front door blew open to reveal her mother and a handful of her guards. Evie took a step back in fear, wondering how she found her. Even more so, how was she not affected by her protection spell that made those who entered her land fearful and only desired to run away.

Her mother raised her hand, stopping her guards from entering. However, that didn't stop Regina from entering her cabin. Evie was unsure what to do. She wanted to run away, but knew she had to protect the cauldron. Her mother's hair was so close to her, but yet so far as it laid near the cauldron on the table.

Her mother closed the door behind them and took a few steps towards her before she ran and hugged her child for dear life.

"Evie, thank God you're alright," For a moment, Evie believed she was eight years old again, back in her mother's castle. Having adventures with her and waiting for her father to return from his trips to other kingdoms. In that moment, Evie believed that she had her mother back.

"What are you doing here mother?" she asked as she looked to her mother. No longer Evie had to look up to her mother like she did many times when she was a child, but they were now eye level.

"Why did you leave?" Her mother removed the hair in front of Evie's face. Evie leaned into her touch, craving her mother's praises.

"I," she started, but remember she couldn't have that, not after this. Once Evie would enact the spell. She would lose this. She would lose her mother. But would she really. Can you lose something if it was already lost in the beginning? "I couldn't stay anymore. It wasn't home anymore. It hasn't been home in a long time," Evie walked away from her mother's embrace.

"What are you doing Evie?" Evie hated that she caused the hurt and confusion in her mother's eyes. "What is all this?" Her mother pointed to the cauldron. "What's going on my little bird?" It was her mother's turn to hurt her as she used her nickname she gave her as a child. Evie haven't heard that name in so long.

"It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission mother," Evie turned from her mother and looked out the window. The moon hanged there, haunting her. Reminding her that she was running out of time. "I just want to be happy," Evie hugged herself, trying to keep herself together as all these emotions flooded her. Hurt, regret, lost, wanting, nostalgia, one no powerful than the other. "I want us to be happy."

"I do too," her mother touched her shoulder.

"No," Evie shooked her head. "Mother I know what you are doing and if you go through with this dark curse then it won't be real," Evie looked at her mother. "None of us would be really happy. You would never move on."

"I'm doing this for us," Evie's mother tried to justify her actions.

"So am I," Evie argued back. "Mama I don't want you to go through with this. What Snow did to Daniel was tragic, you got your revenge. You took everything from her. Her kingdom, her freedom, our father. Haven't you thought about what you are doing affects others? Affects me?" Perhaps it was because she had finally told her mother how she really felt. Perhaps it was because Evie had called her mother mama, a name she had not called her since before the king's death. Either way, Evie could see her words affected her mother. "I've lost so much you don't even know," Evie whispered. She wanted to tell her mother about her baby sibling, but remembered her promise to Maleficent. She had already let the dragon queen down once, she dare not to do it again.

"If you're talking about that boy that I killed years ago, he was no good for you."

"Did your mother tell you that about Daniel?" Evie could see she struck a nerve when she talked about her mother's mother and Daniel. "It was more than him. He wasn't the only person that I lost. And I don't want to lose anymore," her younger sibling, Snow, Domnick, Mal; Evie couldn't bear if she were to lose her mother or grandfather as well. She would do anything to keep them safe. She would not lose them. "Do you believe in me? Do you believe in me mother?"

"I don't know what youre talking about."

"I need you to believe in me," Evie took her mother's hand. "I need to know that you trust me. I want the same thing as you do. I want happiness. I want us to be a family again. And we can, I need you to trust me."

"How?" Her mother asked, unsure of what her daughter was asking of her.

"We'll leave this place. Somewhere new where no one knows about us. We can start over. You, me, grandpa, even Mal one day," as much as Evie wanted this, she could see her mother was conflicted. "Mama I know you love her and she loves you. Daniel would want you to move on and be happy. He wouldn't want this and Mal makes you happy. Please don't throw this away. If you go through with this curse you will be left with this void that cannot be filled. I don't want to see you like that. Please mama, don't let go. Don't let me go again," Evie begged her mother. She rather her mother go with her willing than force her. For a moment, Evie believed that her mother would say no. That her power and revenge meant more than Evie.

"Okay... for you I'll go," Evie gasped in surprised. She didn't believe that her mother would say yes. "I didn't know how much I was hurting you," her mother placed her hands on Evie's shoulders. "I didn't mean to," Evie could hear it in her mother's voice that she truly meant it. That Evie was important to her.

"It's okay mama. All that matters is that you want to change for me," Evie couldn't resist the urge to hug her mother. "That's all I wanted," Evie felt her mother hugged her closer as she whispered.

Evie let go of her mother and saw that she trusted her. She could do this. Evie walked to the table where the cauldron and her mother hair was at.

"What is that?" her mother asked as she came closer to Evie.

"Part of my spell," Evie grabbed her mother's hair her grandfather had given her. "It will make everyone in this land to forget us so no one will ever come looking for us. All I have to do is add this and chant the spell. Then we're free," Evie looked up and smiled at her mother. The sooner they left, the sooner she get her baby brother or sister back.

"Where will we go?"

"Some place wonderful," Evie looked into her mother's eyes one last time to see that she was not afraid of what to come. Evie wanted to remember this. The last time her mother was the Evil Queen. The moment that they were going to start over. A tinge of guilt flashed through Evie as she failed to mentioned to her mother that she would forget herself as well. Evie knew everything would be all right.

With her mother's hair in her hand, Evie raised her hand over the cauldron, about to let go. Let go of the hair. Let go of the past and into a better future. But she couldn't. Not out of guilt or second thoughts. No, she wanted to, and was ready to, but her hand wouldn't listen to her. In fact, her whole body didn't listen to her as she tried to move. She couldn't .

She started to breath quickly as she looked around the room. Her mother was still as well. All noise outside seemed to ceased. The only noise she could hear was the roar of the fire coming from the fireplace.

"No so fast dearie," her heart stopped when she heard a man giggle. Footsteps from behind her circled around her until she was face to face with him. The Dark One.

Storybrooke

"So you're telling me that the Evil Queen wants to take Lily's power so she can be more powerful than Regina. Merge herself back into Regina and be the one in control so no one can stop her from destroying everyone Snow's love?" Morgan stood in shock, staring at Evie as she finished untying Snow.

"Starting with Emma?" Evie could hear the worried in Snow's voice.

"Yeah and she already took my magic too," Evie opened her hand and like she expected, her magic was gone.

"We have to stop her before she kills my daughter," Snow tugged at her tied arm Evie was trying to untie.

"She never said kill. Just destroy," Snow jumped up and started walking towards the spiral staircase. Morgan, closes to the staircase, walked down it first and Evie quickly joined them.

"But I don't understand why she would want to take your magic or Lily's. She is not related to her," Evie froze and gave a nervous glance to Morgan. Snow stopped when she didn't hear the Evie following them. She didn't know what to do. Evie wanted to tell her, but was this really the right time?

"She is. And so am I. I… we are her daughters," Evie managed to say that for the first time in her life. Snow was baffled at this revelation.

"Thats impossible, Regina didn't have any children back in the Enchanted Forest and Lily is Maleficent's daughter," it hurt her when Snow said that. So much Evie wanted to say, but there was no time. Not yet.

"It's complicated, but I promise when this is over, I will tell you," Evie promised.

"You ladies ready because it's starting to get ugly out there," Morgan called out from the bottom of the stairway. They both ran down the rest of the way and was shocked to see what awaited them. Well all but Evie.

The Evil Queen and Lily were outside those doors with their back to them and Emma taking something from the Evil Queen. Shooked out of her shock, Snow was the first to react and ran to her daughter. Snow busted through the doors, but it was too late.

"Emma NO!" Snow screamed as her daughter fell to the ground. Time seemed to slow as Evie's eyes locked to her mother's. Not the Evil Queen, but the woman that stood by Maleficent. Last time she had looked into those eyes, she couldn't find the woman that she had called mother, but now staring into her eyes, made her feel like a child again. Made her feel home.

But that moment quickly faded away as Lily crumpled to the ground, screaming in pain. Evie had realized that Lily had taken the potion as her aura began to form around her. They were too late.
