"I'm fine, Henry. It's just a scratch." Regina reassures. "If it was that bad I could get Emma to fix it." She laughs.

"Why haven't you?" Questions Henry.

"Because it's just a scratch!" She chuckles. "Nothing a bit of make-up can't fix." She grabs her purse and takes out her make-up. She rubs the small sponge over her scratch and it was barley visible. "See?" Henry jumps up and leaps in their arms. "I'm just glad your okay." He smiles.

"I'm fine."

Snow and Emma burst through grannies door with books followed by Killian and Belle with boxes. "What's all this?" Asks Regina.

"Books on cures, dark magic, spells and hopefully whatever the dark one's plan is." Explains Snow.

"18 books down... 300 more to go." Huffs Emma.

"There has to be another way. A faster way?" Complains Regina.

"Don't suppose you have a better idea." States Killian unpacking the boxes.

"Shut it, guyliner!"

"Hey! Don't forget I bloody helped you! I could of left Emma to deal with you or dragged her away but no!"

"Fine, your right... I'm sorry."

"What's he talking about?" Questions Henry. Silence fills the cafe. "Moms?" He looks between them both.

"Nothing, kid." Smiles Emma.

"This is all that seems to be available at the moment. We don't know another way to find out what happened. Atleast we can try and find a memory spell or something." Explains Emma.

"We don't have the time for that." Barks Regina.

"No one else has a better idea." Says Belle.

"I do..." Regina whispers to herself. She rises from her chair and goes to storm out of the shop.

"Regina where are you going?" Shouts Emma.

"To find out what happened!" The door slams shut.

"DAVID NOLAN... DAVID NOLAN... DAVID NOLAN..." Regina tries to summon the dark from the flat roof on the clock tower. "Fine if that's the way you wanna do it." She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes as she steps off the roof. Before she knew it she was standing on the side walk. She opened her eyes to find David in front of her.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" he shouts.

"GETTING YOUR ATTENTION!" She yells back.

"AND THAT WAS THE WAY TO GET IT?! BY ALMOST KILLING YOURSELF!"

"WELL THERE SEEMED TO BE NO OTHER WAY! I called your name and you didn't come. I don't have the dagger to summon you."

"Then just call me." He took a step towards her.

"If I wanna speak to the man i love, then I call." Her voice shaky, she took a step back. He was stunned.

"I am the man you love."

"NO! Your the dark one." She cries.

"Then, what do you want?" His voice was deep.

"What the hell happened?" Silence. "Stop this. Stop going quiet whenever someone asks you that. You saw what happened yesterday. You can see what's this is doing to me, to Emma. And when it affects us it affects Henry. Your grandson! Emma has her mother and her pirate to tell her everything is alright and that we can fix this and you'll be okay. I don't. I can't rely on Henry for that when I'm the one that influences him. I don't want my son to be like that. He's trying his best to save me from-"

"The hurt." He finishes.

"Exactly." A tear dripped down her cheek. She dropped her gaze from his eyes to the floor. He took a step closer to her and raised his hand to her cheek and wiped away the slow-running tear. He kissed her trembling lips. She didn't move. She didn't kiss him back.

"I'm sorry" as he whispered the words, his breathe against her lips and made her shiver. She raised her head and narrowed her eyes.

"Sorry? SORRY?" She jumped back leaving his hand to fall to his side. "YOUR THE DAMN DARK ONE AND WONT TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS SORRY!" She screams. Everyone comes running out of grannies and come to halt outside the door. "HOW DARE YOU!"

"Why do you think I'm doing all of this?" His voice slowly started to raise with each word. "I'M DOING THIS FOR YOU!" She was shocked, so shocked she started to step back even further.

"WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" He went silent. He looked her in the eyes where her tears were falling and he couldn't stop them. He didn't step closer to comfort her, he just looked at her. "WELL?" She looked at him, broken. "You know, for the dark one, your a COWARD!" She screamed. "Leave!" She mumbled looking at the floor. "If your not going to tell me anything then just leave."

"I'm sor-"

"NOW!" She interrupted. In a grey cloud, he was gone with no hesitation. Regina stood holding her arms when she realised everyone was watching her. She used her left hand to wipe her eyes and her right hand to disappear in a purple cloud.

"That's it! I've had enough of this." Sighs Emma.

"Where are you going?" Asks Snow stunned.

"To speak to him."

"You really think he's gonna listen?"

"HE'S MY FATHER! IVE LOST HIM ONCE I WONT LOOSE HIM AGAIN!" She shouts.

"Oh Emma." Sighs Snow.

"Don't." She stays sternly. "Mom, can you go and see Regina, maybe you can get through to her, see what he said to her." Snow nods and walks away. "Belle can you look through the books and see if there's anything? Call me if their is!"

"Of course." Belle replies then walks back into grannies. "Henry can you help me? Being the author you might find something we can't."

"Okay." Smiles Henry. Emma looks at Belle and mouths 'thank you' and Belle smiles in return.

"Where do you want me, love?" Asks Killian with a smile.

"At the moment..." She steps closer to him and he wraps his arms around her holding her close. She rests her head on his chest and listens to the beat of his heart. Slow and steady. He was calm. He wasn't worried. "...Just like this." He chuckled slightly. The rumble in his chest made Emma smile as he pulled her closer. "Keep an eye on Henry for me. He's worried for David and Regina. I can't have him following me or going off to see him or risk him finding Regina like we found her."

"Aye, love. Will you be alright?"

"I'll be fine."

"be careful, please." The corners of Emma's mouth curled forcing a smile to spread across her face.

"Your worried about me!" She laughed.

"Of course I am."

"I'll be fine, he won't hurt me."

"I hope your right." He kisses her cheek softly. As he pulled away she looked into his eyes.

"Thank you." She said. She kissed his lips and walked away. He turned and walked into grannies as she sat in her bright yellow bug, in the dark, and thought about what she was going to say. Emma shook her head and started the engine as she drove off towards 'the dark one's' house.

'This has to end' she thought. 'This has to end...'
