A/N: Okay. Here's the thing. I think this is just going to stay based on Emily and her relationships with people. I really hope that is okay. Regina is going to be a big part in this, but not really any other parent figures. She will go on a date with Tyler...eventual, but right now, there was a magical being that needs to leave. This is going to be a long story. Warning: Guards use violence.

Emily was staring at her old friend. She never thought they would meet again and definitely not in these circumstance. She was also confused. Her friend didn't tell her she had magical powers. She was going to do something that she never thought she would get to do again. She was going to try to rile up her friend. "A, you didn't tell me you were an all powerful magical being that can take a persons life force and kill them for summoning you."

"You didn't tell me that you are the daughter of the most amazing person that ever lived."

"I didn't know."

"Sure, Wolfy." The tone was light and joking and they both were laughing together. Amelia used her magic to get Emily out. Emily was released from her prison and hugged her bestie. Regina loved the scene in front of her. She got to meet her daughter's best friend and it was a wonderful sight. She saw the innocent little girl that was raised in a village. Amelia finally pulled away from the embrace and went to work with her magic. She mumbled some words and her eyes went pure white and she was floating in the air. Emily stood there and looked in awe, while Regina acted like it was another normal day. "Emily, this creature is another version of you. You can't be separated alone. This you must have another being to bond to. One mother doesn't know she exists, while the other kept her away. Bring her Emma to this world. She will take her back and all will be fine."

"How? I can't summon anyone interdimensionally."

"You can. It is inside you. Think about who you want to come and they will appear, though you are going to need to give her time to adjust. Have the two bond, but remember, the longer she is away from you, the weaker you both get. Have her bond to Emma and all will be well."

"Okay. What is the price for the information?"

"You know that the price is part of a life. You will lose a year on the life that you were given. I will be here to guide you through, but I can't tell you exactly how long you will be here."

"Deal." After that one word Amelia returned to normal. She almost fell on her face from being in the air. She got up and approached Emily.

"Emmy, do you know what you have to do?"

"I need to summon a being from another dimensions, or I could do this superhero style. I think summons are better. I just have to think of this person and she should appear."

"That is right. Are you sure that you can do this?"

"Yes, but I need to stay down here and it might be best if no one visits. People can become suspicious and Emma can figure out a liar, so limited contact. You got it mom?"

"Yes. I will visit once a week. I can say that I am making sure you aren't trying to escape."

"Okay. I need to focus, so please leave and don't do anything stupid."

The two other women rolled their eyes and went to the surface. She knew she had to do this, but maybe a little deal could go along with this adventure. She would ask about it later, but right now she needed her life back. She thought about and Emma that was like hers, but connected to the other by blood. She focused on the connection that they could have. She thought long and hard. And suddenly she felt a presence. She looked up and saw Emma, but she was different. She looked the same, but her personalty and aura are very different. She was more skiddish towards things and she was scared. Emma didn't ever feel scared when it came to an aura, so this shouldn't be her mom. She took a step forward, but Emma took a step back. Plan B.

"My name is Emily Remma Swan-Mills. I am 16 and the princess to this realm. Emma Swan and Regina Mills are my parents and I have a brother named Henry Daniel Mills. You are Emma Swan, but you are not from here. I needed you to come here because I have some information on an alternate me that is your daughter."

"What? Regina and I are not together and I don't have a daughter."

"You do. I don't know her name, but I know that Regina sent her away without your knowledge. I am guessing something happened 16 years ago for this to happen and I need you help. You need to bond with her and give her a safe haven because she is feeding off of my life, literally. She needed a home and I was vulnerable enough to allow her in. She wanted a family, but she needs her family to care for her. Regina didn't tell you for a reason, but you have every right to be with her, so I need you to help me. If you don't want to, I will send you home to your world."

"You're saying that I have a daughter that Regina kept from me. She is here and trying to take your family and you need me to take her home."

"Yes. Will you help?"

"I missed the first 16 years, so yes. I would love to get to know her."

"Thank you. I can't leave here because everyone is convinced she is me and I am from another universe, except for Regina, Ruby, and Henry. I could get her down here if you want."

"I would like that. I am so sorry for all this trouble."

"It's fine. She just wanted to have a family and I have every confidence that she will. She is a good person that is a lot like Regina, but she is like you. I just wish you knew."

"So do I. Can we talk in a little bit? I think I can take some food from the kitchen and give it to you. The food is never good down here, so it is the least I could do."

"Thanks, but I will be fine. Regina will be here in the morning. Just stay in the shadows. And don't do anything no matter what."

"Okay. Shall we get in the cage?" Emma said this with a light tone and Emily chuckled. They both entered and shut it tightly to make it look like nothing happened. They spoke for a little bit about all the things they could do for other Emily. Emma described what her universe is like. No war, but Regina doesn't like Emma anymore. Regina became queen and Emma laid low for a while. Henry would spend time with both his parents. He was able to sneak out of the castle to spend some time learning about the people of his future kingdom. Snow and Charming were happy villagers that forged weapons for fun. Emma and Regina dated 16 years ago and that has sex once and that was it. Regina then avoided Emma like the plague and they never spoke again. She didn't want it to end, but she had to give Regina space. Emily understood this and told her about her upbringing. Emma liked hearing about this because it gave some background about what could have happened to her daughter. They talked well past what they thought was possible, but shut up when they heard footsteps. Emily knew what was going to happen and approached the door. Soon a group of guards came along and opened the door. She stepped into the center and stood there like a statue.

"Look what we have here. A bitch that thought she could rule over this kingdom. She knows what we want and she seems willing enough. Now boys, lets see what type of fighter she is."

He took the first punch and it collided with her jaw. She was disoriented, but didn't fall. The others cheered on their friend. He laughed and kept going. "What's the matter? Afraid to get hurt?" Punch. "You should have thought about that before you hurt Emily?" Kick. "She is an amazing person and you hurt her." Uppercut. "Not even going to fight?" Right hook. "You think it's brave, but that's stupidity." Knee. "I would kill you, but that would kill her." Kicks her down. "I care too much about her to do something so evil." Breaks her leg and she screams. "Not that you would care." Stands on her broken leg. "You are never going to hurt this family again. Now clean yourself up before they get here. Same time tomorrow, Bitch." He gets off her leg and walks away. Emily is left on the ground, crying from the pain.

Once Emma thinks they left, she ran to her. "What the hell was that?"

"They have been doing this, since I was placed in here. He wants me to feel the pain of what I did. I am getting used to it."

"Who was that?"

"That was Tyler. He is part of the guard. I was very popular with them."

"Why didn't you fight back?"

"I love him too much to do that. When he was gone yesterday, I thought it was over, but my uncle came in and did the same thing. He showed more anger that Tyler did."

"Why would you let them do that? This is unacceptable. Does anyone know about this?"

"They are angry and need an outlet and someone to blame. No one knows about this because I heal my wounds before anyone can see what happened. Which I need to do right now. I look horrendous."

"No. You are not going to heal your wounds. I am going to lock that cell with you in it and I am going to get Regina."

"No. I need to do this. I can't be weak."

"You are strong and paying a price that you shouldn't. I am not letting you heal yourself."

"I am and will." Emily waved her hand over her leg because it hurt the most. Before she could react, Emma picked her up and placed her back in the cage. She locked the door and Emily knew it was over. "NO! I can't let mom see me like this."

"I am not letting you suffer anymore that you already have, now sleep."

Emily grumbled in protest, but knew that nothing could be changed right now. She went to her make shift bed and fell asleep. She knew that it was going to hurt so much more in the morning and was dreading it. Emma for her part felt so horrible about what happened. An innocent girl was paying the crime for her daughter. She knew that it was wrong and she had to do something to help. She knew she had to make this right. Even if this resulted in her head being served back to her by Regina. Emily seemed like a good kid, so she needs help. Emma wanted to comfort Emily, but it might not be the best idea given the situation, so she goes to the other side of the cell and sleeps there.

The next morning was not pleasant for either cell mate. Emily was in more pain than she anticipated and Emma was feeling horrible for not letting her heal at all. Emily was trying to pace the cell, but failed due to the broken leg. Emma got Emily to sit and wait in the corner for someone. The first Peron down was Ruby. She saw Emma and was about to say something, but stopped when she saw Emily. Ruby almost screamed at the sight. She pulled Emily out of the cell and Emily explained what happened and what has happened. Ruby felt terrible. Emily used the opportunity to heal herself, but Ruby pushed her back in the cell. Emily gave her the best death glare there ever was and Ruby laughed. She was reminded of Regina in that moment.

Ruby tried to lighten the mood by engaging into some small conversation with the cell occupants. Emma explained her world and how it was different. They ended up waiting for a while because it was quite early. Regina was supposed to come when she could, but with her schedule, it can get very difficult to have a 5 minute break. It was getting closer to noon, when Regina and Henry entered the dungeons. They were at the door, but Ruby and Emily both heard them and announced their prescence. Regina was walking at her normal place, until she saw a trail of blood. She followed it and gasped when it led to Emily.

"Emily! What the he'll happened?"

"Nothing. I'm fine, but these two wouldn't let me heal myself until you came."

"Something is definitely wrong and they had a right to have me know."

"I'm fine."

"You are not fine," Emma finally interrupted. "I'm sorry to say this, but the guards have been doing it for quite some time and it needs to end. I saw it happen and it was some guard named Tyler yesterday, but it is also Neal. It was heartbreaking to see."

"Emily, is this true?" Regina asked distraught.

"Yes. I didn't want to have you worry so they make me heal myself before anyone sees me. You can't mention this to any of them or they will be back to punish me for showing my injuries or telling you. They do enough and I can deal with it, but it can't get any worse. Can you keep this a secret?"

"I will punish them for their behavior. Especially Neal because he should know better than to attack an innocent."

"It's alright. Can you just heal me so I don't have to pace on a broken leg?"

Regina almost forgot about all the injuries and healed all of the wounds. Emily was grateful and had a plan to get the other her to talk to Emily. It is a little risky, but it should work as a way to get them to talk and hopefully get her to return to her world. This whole dimension traveling thing is really annoying. This is supposed to establish a connection between the people. It isn't the most foolproof plan and it isn't the smartest, but it is at least a start. Emily is going to be bait and she has to taunt her counterpart with comments and get her down there. She knew what she was going to say, but needed some Regina sass to aid in her irritability. Regina agreed to come up with some insults. There plan was in place and now it was time to put it into place.
