Hey guys I have a chapter for you. I hope you are enjoying where I am taking you with this story.

Grey smoke swirled around her and slowly disappeared revealing blackness. Regina looked around her trying to figure out exactly where she was. It appeared she was in some kind of cave, that she could only presume was Hades underworld. She took a couple of steps forward and looked over the edge of the rock to see a glowing red fire like river flowing beneath her.

"I wouldn't get to close to that Regina…" Hades said behind her making her jump and spin round to look at him.

"I'm in the underworld…" Regina said in more of a statement than a question.

"You are indeed. Welcome to your new home." Hades smirked holding his hand out. "Now my dear I have a surprise for you."

"A surprise?" Regina asked in confusion. She didn't step any closer to him. She didn't particularly want to be anywhere near him. "I highly doubt it will be a surprise I will like."

"Oh really?" Hades said waving his hand. "I guess you wouldn't want to see your mother again then?"

Regina gasped as the grey smoke disappeared revealing her mother. "Mother…" Regina breathed out. "Your here?" Regina stepped towards her mother, wanting to hug her but as she looked into her mother's eyes she didn't see the loving look she had received when her mother had died. No, the look she got from her mother was the same look she had grown up with. A mother that showed no love. A mother that would punish you for even thinking about hugging her. So she stepped back.

"You didn't expect to see me dear?" Cora asked with a raised eyebrow.

Regina shook her head. "I don't know where I expected you to be." Regina replied. "Your…Your heart?" Regina asked. She could tell the woman stood in front of her didn't have her heart. She could see it in her eyes.

"Well your mothers heart was a nice prize for me when she arrived." Hades said. "You on the other hand will be keeping your heart."

"And why is that?" Regina questioned.

"You will need it dear." Cora answered.

"You Regina are going to finally accept that darkness that is fighting through." Hades said. "And then you will become my wife."

"What?" Regina asked raising an eyebrow at Hades and looking every bit like her mother. "I am not going to do anything like that. I won't accept the darkness and I will definitely not be becoming your wife."

Hades laughed causing Regina to frown in confusion. "You are funny Regina. It's nice that you think you have a choice but okay we can play along with that, can't we Cora?" Hades said and Cora nodded her head. "If you will not do as I ask then you can go in here…" Hades said clicking his fingers moving Regina into a dungeon. Regina gasped and grabbed onto the bars pulling and pushing at them to see if they would move. "I wouldn't bother wasting your energy on trying to move those bars Regina. They won't budge. Let's see how long it will take for you to give in."

"I won't give in. You will be waiting a long time." Regina threw back.

"Well Regina I am immortal. I can wait." Hades replied before disappearing with Cora following.

Emma, Robin, Mary-Margaret and David were all still stood out on Main Street by the clock tower. "Where did he take her?" Robin asked looking around them. "What has he done with Regina?"

"I have no idea." Emma replied staring at the space that Regina had once been stood in. "I guess if he is Hades then maybe he has taken her to the underworld?" Emma said.

"But she's not dead…" David said.

"I don't think that matters if Hades takes you himself. He wanted her so he took her." Mary-Margaret answered.

"What do you think he wants with her? I don't think this is just part of that deal they made. I think there is more to this. I just have this feeling." Robin said, worry showing in his tone and his face. "I don't know what he is planning but I am going to do everything in my power to save her."

"We all are Robin." Emma said placing her hand on his shoulder.

Hades paced up and down the cave, with Cora watching him intently. "I'm not so sure you are going to break Regina. She can be very stubborn at times." Cora said.

"She will break. I have ways and means." Hades said firmly. "Let's just bring the temperature of the dungeon down." He said flicking his wrist using his magic.

"I don't think that will make her break." Cora sighed.

"And what do you suggest Cora?" Hades asked turning to the older woman.

"I suggest using the ones she loves. Regina feels not just with her heart but her whole soul. When she loves she loves deeply. You use the people close to her and I think that will be your key in breaking her." Cora said.

Hades nodded his head. "That makes sense but I think I will keep that for the last resort. We will try my way first."

Regina was sat in the corner of the dungeon, her knees up to her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs while her chin rested on her knees. She had felt the temperature in the dungeon drop and she knew it would most likely be Hades trying to make her break down and accept what he wanted from her. She really didn't want to give into him. She couldn't give into him. She couldn't go dark again.

She could feel tears welling up in her eyes, threatening to fall. She tried to hold them in, tried not to let them out. She didn't want to show weakness. She took a deep breath before stretching her legs out and pushing herself up onto her feet. Brushing her hands over her clothes, smoothing out the creases and brushing off the dirt of the dungeon. She began to pace up and down trying to figure out a way out of this. There had to be a way out of this mess without giving into darkness and marrying the lord of the underworld.

She could use her magic, channel the darkness in her to break out but would she be able to break away from it afterwards or would the darkness take over her completely if she let it in…She screamed out in frustration, a fireball forming in her hand and she threw it towards the bars of the dungeon. It hit the bars, a blue shield shining around the bars effectively crushing her magic and showing her Hades really wasn't that stupid to forget to shield the dungeon with magic.

She could feel her anger rising and she hit out at the wall, kicking and punching it feeling the pain shooting through her hands, arms and legs, letting it consume her. She wasn't sure if she was strong enough to fight against this anymore. She wanted to be…but she wasn't sure if she could be.

Hades watched Regina falling to pieces and knew it wouldn't take much more to force her over the edge and into his arms to what he wanted. He just needed a little something to push her. "You need to use her loved ones." Cora said in a sing song voice from behind him knowing what he was thinking. "It will be enough to really push her to where you want her. She will do anything to save the ones she loves."

"And who out of these loved ones do you think I should go for? The outlaw?" He asks turning round to face the evil witch in front of him. She really was a nice addition to his collection of evil.

Cora shook her head. "No. Regina may love him deeply but there is another that she loves in a deeper sense. I would go for the boy. For him Regina will give up the goodness in her and will give herself to you."

Hades smirked and he waved his hand over a bowl of water sitting on the table. A picture of Henry, with all the other heroes appeared. "Then after the boy it will be." Hades said and with a click of his fingers he disappeared to snatch the boy from the heroes and use him to push his mother over the edge into darkness.
