Emily was headed to the throne room to where Snow was with Zelena. She walked in and gave Snow a look of 'go and get Emma.' Snow excused herself and Emily went to sit with her 'mom' in the thrones. Emily sat by her mom and decided that it was time for questioning. She had to know the truth and she had to know what all of this is about.

"Mom?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Why don't you like talking about your parents?"

"My mother was a dark woman. She manipulated people into doing what she wanted. My father never did defend me. He was weak and couldn't do anything."

Emily remembered that the first time Regina went to the Underworld, she saw her father again and he passed on to a better place. He was able to move on because he saw how strong his daughter has become with his grandson. This was not the answer that Emily would hear and that gave it all away.

"I'm sorry, mom. What about Zelena? I was told she was your older half-sister."

"Zelena is a very powerful witch. She is even more powerful than I am. She can do so much."

That basically gave everything away. Regina hated Zelena. Emily stood up and quickly made her way in front of her mom's figure. She grabbed her sword and pulled it out to meet the throat of the intruder.

"What have you done to my mother?"

The figure laughed at this. "Why? She never loved you. Your mother could never learn to love the girl she orphaned. Take it from personal experience."

"NO! Your lying. She loves me. I love her and I will not let you do anything to her. I will sacrifice myself to be with her."

Emma and Snow came walking in and Emma stood in horror. She saw that something was wrong, but the sword told her that something horrible was going on. "Emily, what is going on? Why is your sword at Regina's neck?"

"So I can do this," Emily said as she swung the sword. The sword pieced the artery and Emily cried. She chanted apologizes. Emma watched in horror as her daughter just killed her wife. Emma could not believe her eyes. She then had a swarm of emotions and decided on one; anger.

"Emily, what the hell did you do?"

"I just sent her to the Underworld. Someone needed to have a chat with her."

"You just killed your mother! What is wrong with you?"

"I had to do it."

"Emily, there is nothing acceptable about any of this. You killed my true love and I am going to get her back. You are going to be severely punished."

"How about a life for a life? Since I killed her, you execute me and then go rescue her."

"If that is what you wish, fine. You will be a noble sacrifice."

"Emily," Snow yelled, "What are you thinking?"

"I am finishing my mission."

Snow stepped aside and Emily was escorted to the dungeons, where she waited for her execution. She reminded in there and had imagined that her mom was with her and would guide her. Emily knew what she did was wrong and unforgivable, but she had to find a way to save her mom. The goal was to send Z to the Underworld and she did. She now will have to wait for everyone to see the truth. Emily sat in her cell and listened to the sound of her mom: laughing, singing, speaking, and even yelling. All these sounds brought comfort to her. She was so sad and she cried and cried into her arms. She stopped when she heard footsteps going by the door. She then saw it was Snow. She had a look of worry and Emily knew something was wrong. She pieced together that she would not be executed until later and that scared the shit out of her. She needed to be killed now or the plan won't work.

"Let me guess, Emma thinks that killing me can wait."

"Yes. We are leaving very soon. Em, we need to figure something out."

"You need to kill me."

"What!? No. I won't kill one of my grandchildren."

"This is to save my mom. If you don't kill me, give me a sword and I will do it. I just need to be there for her. I know where she is."

"Okay. I won't tell Emma though."

"Fine by me."

Snow pulled out her sword and opened the cell door. She looked so worried about her granddaughter. She was hesitant, while Emily was open to the whole thing at this point. Emily just had to get to her mom and explain everything before it gets out of hand.

"Are you sure about this?"

"More than. I just need to see my mom."

Snow placed her sword in the middle of the child's chest. She drew back and stabbed right thorough the center. Emily was immediately dead. There was no pain or suffering. She woke up in this castle area that was just dark. There was water of all different colors flowing into the center. She was knelt before someone. She looked up and saw Hades and Zelena. She just looked at the pair in pure terror. She didn't know what was going on and if anyone else has switched.

"Emily, don't be shy. Come here and greet your aunt Z. She is very excited to see you."

"Hades dear, I think we are scaring her somehow. I don't know why, but maybe she should get an explanation."

"Emily, you were just killed. Since you have unfinished business for who knows why, you are stuck in this land before you can go to heaven or hell. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Good. There are going to be a few visitors. You are welcome to stay with Z until you find a permanent living situation. She is going to show you your job."

Emily went and followed Zelena's form. Emily didn't know who this was, but she wouldn't ask questions. She silently and obediently followed the form to a corridor, then it suddenly stopped moving. It turned around and looked straight into Emily's soul. Then Emily saw the longing eyes of her mother looking back at her. She wanted to make sure that she wasn't mistaken, so she said one thing. "Darker than black." She hoped that her mom understood the statement. She then saw Zelena smile at her and it looked familiar, but then again, all Mills have the same smile as one another.

"Emmy."

"MOMMY!" Emily flung herself into the grasp of her mother and she thought about how stupid she just sounded. She acted like a five year old and that was not to her liking. She was about to back away from the figure to apologize, but found that she was held even tighter.

"Don't you ever say sorry for calling me that. What are you doing here? I though Zelena would have made it here first."

"She should have. I killed her and Emma saw me. I was sentenced to be executed at my own will, but she was going to come down here first. Snow told me and I asked her to kill me with her sword. She wouldn't at first, but she did when I finally told her that I would do anything for you. She stabbed me in the chest and here I am. How are you holding up?"

"I am alright. A lot of memories are coming back. I saw my father for the last time here. My mother was about to send him to Hell, but she was allowed to pass on to a better place. Henry got to finally meet him and it was something I waited to do for about 30 years. You would have loved him and he would have loved you. He was so important to me and he never stopped believing the best in me. He and your brother are so similar and I love it. I am just worried that someone will have their finished business and move on. I can't let one of you go, so I need to get out of here now."

"They should be here soon. I have to stay away from Emma because she doesn't know that I am dead. She will most certainly freak out and I am not waiting to be punished for multiple offenses. What am I supposed to be doing here? The only unfinished business I have is about getting you home."

"Getting us home, dear. You will be helping me with whatever I want. So, basically you won't be anything new from what you already have done. There are a lot of people that might want to hurt you, so I am going to keep you away from them. Is there anything in particular that you need to do."

"After all of this, I think I need to learn to be a royal. I want to be as close to you as possible, but I don't want to miss a second of being myself. I am just conflicted as to what I should do in this situation. I don't want to be a princess, that much is abundantly clear. I just want to be close to you and be able to do what you do with the rest of the family. If not learn everything, at least how to ballroom dance, so I can go to a ball or two and have a dance with my amazing mother."

"I have waited so long to hear you say that. I think dance lessons are reasonable enough. I don't think you would like being a princess. How about we talk about this when we return to the living. Do you know who is coming?"

"Emma and Snow are definitely coming, but I don't know about everyone else. So what can I do for you, Aunty Zelena."

"I am going to have to get used to be called that, aren't I."

"Sorry, but when we are alone I am sure I will be acting like a little girl. At least, I get to spend time with you."

"Come along. I need to show you your room."

Emily followed down the long corridor and she went to her room. It looked identical to the one she has in the living world. It was an uncanny resemblance to the room her has and it had everything she had except for some of the little things. There were no picture frames around and there were certainly not any means of escape. She looked wearily at everything. There was no window or balcony and there is only one way to leave. This would not work as planned. Regina just walked through the door and went to the far wall. She pushed some part of it in and then the whole wall moved. Regina walked in the hallway and directed Emily to do the same. Emily casually walked in and then saw that the whole room inside of this passage was dedicated to her family. There were pictures and books. Everything that had some sentimental value was in that room. Emily didn't know what to say. She sat on the couch and took in the sight. She then saw that this was her mother's only connection to them. Emily immediately got up and walked over to her mom. Emily encased her in the biggest bear hug of her life. Regina accepted this and they both stood there for an awkward moment. Emily could tell that she had to go. Emily reassured her mom she would be fine and they would talk later. With a silent goodbye, Regina went back to Hades to greet everyone else.

Emily went to explore her new home. There were a lot more space than she thought, but then again, it was the Underworld. She saw that each room was identical to the last. She then knew that this was an infinite hallway and she had to turn back now before she gets lost. She walked to the place she started and was greeted by the sight of her other family members. Emma and Snow were in the front and Emma was yelling at Hades and slightly at Zelena. Emily could see that this hurt her mom, but she couldn't step in. Snow was just standing there and doing nothing to calm Emma down. There was nothing that could be done without raising suspicions. David and Henry were looked at Zelena with death glares. Neal was there with his sword at the ready. Emily liked that everyone was there, but her mom's real figure was no where in sight. Emily needed to get her real aunt's ass in that room before anyone decided that she couldn't do anything to help. She tried to sneak away, but a collective gasp was heard and Emily knew she was busted. Why does this always happen to me?
