Blakely and Henry had been playing a two hour long game of war with a deck of cards they found.

The only thing keeping Blakely in the game was a single Ace.

Blakely won a queen, then she lost a queen. Then she would win a two, and then lose a two. "Okay, I give up." She said tossing her card on the table.

She stood up and stretched.

"I need some fresh air." She huffed and let her arms drop. She grabbed her jacket and headed towards the door.

"Are you sure you just don't want to go down to the sheriff's station?" Henry asked turning around in his chair.

"I just need to clear my head." She told him and slipped out the door.

She hurried down the steps and walked out of the building. It had suddenly gotten dark and windy.

Blakely ignored the wind and walked along the sidewalk.

She was walking when she suddenly caught sight of a figure moving through the dark sky. A shrill cry filled the air and Blakely covered her ears.

When the shrieking had stopped she let her hands drop. She had no time to process what happened next. She saw a street lamp coming crashing down. She jumped out of the way and fell to the ground.

The dark figure flew at her. She ducked and held up her hands.

A tingling feeling went through her body

A tingling feeling went through her body. A warm feeling set into her palms and when she felt something hit them and she pushed against it.

When Blakely lifted her head, the figure was gone and she was left sitting on the concrete gasping for breath.

She quickly got up and ran back inside. She ran back up the stairs faster than she had run down them.

She burst through the door and shut it as fast as she could. She locked every lock and finally rested herself on the door.

"What is it?" Henry asked.

"I don't know." Blakely answered with wide eyes.

"What happened?" Henry asked.

"I don't know." She repeated. She kept replaying the scene in her head. Falling street lamp. Her holding her hands in the air. The dark figure flying away from her.

"Do we need to go get Emma?" He asked standing up.

"Yeah." Blakely nodded her head vigorously. She unlocked the doors and grabbed Henry's hand. "They'd be in the town hall." Blakely guessed.

"Blake, slow down." Henry said gasping for air.

Even with her lungs on fire she didn't slow down. She couldn't. She needed to tell someone what had happened.

She burst through the doors of the town hall. She ran to the conference room and found her mom holding David up against the wall.

"Mom?" Henry called getting her attention.

All the lights were out but it was clear she was about to rip out his heart. The tree wallpaper seemed to come to life, holding David to the wall.

Blakely took a protective stance in front of Henry.

Their mother turned to them. "Henry, what are you doing here?" She asked.

"What are you doing?" He asked her. The fear in his voice was clear.

"It's okay." Their mom walked closer. "You're safe now."

She didn't know if she pulled her hand away because she was scared of her mom or if she was scared of herself but Blakely refused to hold her hand.

Their mom let David go and he fell to the floor gasping for air.

"Where's my mom? Where's..." Henry started.

"They're gone." Regina told them calmly. "They fell through a portal. They're...Henry, I'm sorry."

"No, you're not." His voice quivering with each word. "You really are the Evil Queen. I don't wanna see you again."

"No, don't say that." Regina said. She placed her hand on Blakely's arm and her other on Henry's cheek. "I love you."

"Then prove it. Get Emma and Mary Margaret back." Henry pleaded. "And until then, leave us, leave everyone alone."

"Well, where will you go?" Regina asked.

"With me." David said standing up.

Regina turned around David walked towards the kids. He placed his hand on Henry's shoulder and led the kids out.

Blakely looked back at the hurt on her mothers face. The urge to run back and hug her but, she kept walking away. She was still her mother after all.

David led the two kids into the loft.

Henry walked over to the counter and stared at a picture of Emma and Mary Margaret.

"Guys?" David said.

"Yeah?" They both replied.

"Don't worry." He told them. "Emma and Mary Margaret, they're alive." He said.

"How do you know?" Blakely asked.

David looked at the picture with Henry. "I have faith."

"But..." Henry started.

"Henry, come here." David turned Henry around. "I will find them. I will always find them." He assured.
