AN: I'm so sorry for the delay in updating. I watched the amazing series Orange is the New Black, then got caught up in reading Piper's memoir. It was really good, an absolute recommendation, but I'm back now. Soon to be traveling for business so I will have some extra time on my hands, hoping to get out a few chapters in the next couple weeks. Enjoy! And as always thank you so very much for the follows and comments, it really helps to inspire!

Throughout the night Regina found her dreams filled with strange images and haunting melodies. She felt like her dreams were trying to tell her something, but her unconscious mind just could not make the connection. The images would not cease and finally as if breaking down a wall Regina could clearly see through swirling pink and orange leaves the image of a compass, brown as if made of brass, with a cream dial accented with purple and maroon, with a simple black arrow circling the center. As she examined it more closely she realized it was not her hands holding it, the skin was darker and younger looking.

Regina sat straight up in bed, as if lightning had struck her, she now knew of how they could find Henry. She knew she had to speak to Pocahontas, now. But as she took in her surrounding she realized it was still dark out, Emma grunted slightly at her. "Lay back down, I'm cold," the blond whined at Regina. Finding her adorable in her sleepy state, Regina laid back down next to her, wrapped her arm around Emma's waist and snuggled her close. They both drifted off again, Regina slept a little sounder knowing she had a plan.

Finally morning came and as the sun rose so did Regina, she had a huge smile on her face, lighting her eyes so beautifully. Emma stirred as she got out of bed and rolled over to watch her dress. "Where are you going it's sooo early?" Emma sleepily questioned Regina, pulling the blanket over her face. "I need to speak with Pocahontas my dear, and it cannot wait." Emma grunted slightly and rolled back over, drifting back to sleep.

Regina stood there and listened to Emma's breathing even out before she pulled her boots on and went in search of the princess. Exiting the tent she was greeted with a breathtaking sun rise, the sky looked like it was on fire, with red and orange streaking the light blue sky. She breathed in deep, admiring the view for a moment before bringing her attention around to the sound of steps coming towards her.

"Good morning," Regina turned and beamed at Pocahontas. She greeted her with an equally warm smile and offered her a bowl of berries. Regina nodded her thanks and popped one in her mouth. She motioned for Pocahontas to follow her on the path leading to outskirts of the village. The two women walked in silence until they were out of ear shot of the quiet, sleepy village.

"I had a dream last night," Regina said to Pocahontas as they walked further into the woods. "I believe you were in it." Pocahontas indicated a shore near a small pond for them to sit. As they sat down she asked "What was I doing in your dream?"

"You were showing me the way to my son," Regina turned to look the young woman in the eyes.

"How so?" she questioned, her eye brows furrowing slightly as she listened intently.

"You were holding a compass, that compass I believe is the way back to Henry." She stated, watching for a reaction from Pocahontas. She nodded "describe the compass to me, I think I may be able to help you." Regina went in detail to explain what she had seen in her dream, down to the pink and orange leaves. Pocahontas nodded more vigorously as Regina went on, her face lighting up with a smile. "Yes, yes, I know the compass you speak of. I too dreamed of it before my true love, John Smith, stumbled into my life. There is only one problem. I no longer have the compass, when he left I knew my heart would always be with him and thus I threw it into the ocean to guide him back to me when he is well enough to return."

Regina's face went from a huge smile to a sad look of disappointment, she had been sure this was the answer. Seeing the sad eyes before her, Pocahontas lifted Regina's chin to meet her eyes. "There is a reason you dreamed of this compass while you were here. I will help you find, I will show you where I threw it in. That has to be the reason we found you and why you dreamt of that while you were here last night." Regina gave her a halfhearted smile, deep down hoping she was right that this had all happened for a reason.

Emma awoke as the sun began to warm the inside of the tent. She felt refreshed after the first good night's sleep she'd had since going through the portal to Neverland. She stretched and looked around the room hoping to find Regina sitting in the chair watching over her, but she sighed gently to herself not seeing the beautiful brunette there. Sliding out of bed, she washed her face in the cool water she found in the corner of the room resting upon a table. She slowly dressed, gearing back up and feeling ready to push forward and find Henry. As she was pulling her boots on she heard footsteps coming towards the tent and looked up as the door was pulled aside and sunlight bathed the room in a wonderful glow, squinting slightly at the sudden change she smiled warmly recognizing just the person she wanted to see.

Regina entered into the tent, quickly locating Emma sitting on the side of the bed pulling her boots on. She slumped into the chair, feeling almost overwhelmed by her morning. Her head rolled back to rest on the chair as she closed her eyes and let out a defeated sigh.

"What's wrong with you?" Emma questioned giving her a sideways glance, eyebrows slightly raised. "Your whole vibe changed from this morning.

Regina opened one eye to glare at Emma, "Well if you must know what I had to speak with Pocahontas about did not go so well this morning. It appears I am back to the drawing board on how to find Henry." Regina closed her eyes again, laying there feeling completely defeated, wanting just a quiet moment to wallow in her misery.

"Well what was your plan and why isn't it going to work anymore," Emma questioned Regina as she moved to kneel in front of her, wrapping her arms around her waist as she laid her head in the brunettes lap. Regina was surprised at how relaxed she became as she felt Emma's warmth flush throughout her body. Absent mindedly she began to stroke her pretty blond hair as she contemplated how to explain it all to Emma.

After what felt like hours, Regina took a deep breath and began to explain her dream to Emma, going in to detail about the compass and why it held such powerful significance, how it could help them to locate Henry, but then she emotionally retold her conversation with Pocahontas this morning and seemed to deflate all over again.

"But I don't understand," Emma looked up at her with questioning eyes," she told you she would take us to where she threw it in. How hard can it be to find a compass that close to shore?" She stood up, pulling Regina's arms to raise her up next to her. "Smile, you're so much more beautiful when you do."

Regina blinked and then smiled at Emma's sudden enthusiasm, making her feel less depressed about the state of things. Feeling caught up in the moment she leaned in and caught Emma in a passionate kiss, feeling renewed on their search. Emma brought her hand up to cup Regina's cheek as she returned the kiss, savoring the feel of their lips against each other. As they heatedly broke the kiss they were smiling like children, ear to ear, neither of them could last remember feeling this happy, resting their foreheads against each other.

"Let's go find this compass and get our son back," Emma cheerfully gushed, she was feeling like today was going to be a good day, they were getting closer to finding Henry and that was all that mattered.

Intertwining their fingers Regina led Emma out of the tent in search of Pocahontas. After asking around for the better part of the morning they finally learned that she had ventured into the forest, to a sacred spot she often visited. They started on their trek to find the princess. As they strolled along the path that one of Pocahontas's friends had showed them, they were actually enjoying the cool breeze and just being alone in each other's company. Holding hands felt completely natural to them. They both felt so out of character, but who they were together felt right.

They finally arrived at the sacred tree in the early afternoon. They called out for Pocahontas, not seeing her. After a few minutes of searching through the trees they came across a clearing and they were greeted by a warm smile. "Good afternoon" Pocahontas smiled at them.

"I hear you can help us find an important compass," Emma beamed at her.

"Let's go then!" Pocahontas exclaimed as she grabbed Emma's hand and in turn Emma grabbed Regina's. They ran through the forest, for what felt like hours. It was hard to keep pace, but finally they came to the cliff that Pocahontas had thrown the compass from.

"Down there" she indicated, pointing below, "I stood here as I watched John sail back to his home. After I could no longer see his ship, I threw the compass into the ocean to help guide him back to me…" she trailed off her voice softening. Emma placed her hand on her shoulder to reassure her. "I'm sure he will return for you as soon as he is well. True love doesn't happen often." As she spoke those words she caught Regina's eye and smiled. She knew she was in love with that fiery brunette. No one had ever matched her fierceness and passion before; no one had ever made her feel as she did now. Not Neal or any of the people who'd come before Regina. The Queen was something special to the Savior, she was her soul mate. It would take time for her to explain to Regina what it was she felt and how deeply she earned for her, but she understood that this was her happy ending, she just needed their son back to complete her perfect family.

"Well how do we get down there," Regina questioned peering over the edge.

"You jump," was the response Pocahontas matter-a-factly replied.

Regina looked almost horrified, "We what?!"

"You jump, you give yourself to nature and trust in her and believe. Can you do that?" she asked pointedly.

"Yeah, yeah I can." Emma stated as she looked over the edge and took a deep breath.

"What?! No!" Regina exclaimed as she started to realize what Emma had planned.

"Baby" she kissed Regina quickly on the lips, "I'm going to find the compass so you can find our son." And with that Emma took a running start and leaped off the edge of the cliff.

All Regina could see was her blonde hair waving behind her just before the ocean took her beneath.

Hope you enjoyed! Let's see what fairy tale character we meet next! Any guesses?! :)
