•Chapter 66•

Regina rolled her eyes and folded her arms over her chest. "Do you really expect to break out of here by just picking the lock?" She questioned. Emma ignored the evil Queen. She had found an old paperclip on the floor. She continued to twist the small piece of iron in the lock. "Do you really think Pan would keep us in here with no magical barrier around it?" Regina asked. "He might have. He took away your powers. Maybe he thought he didn't need one." She replied. Regina sighed and shook her head. "We're done." She said quietly. The dark-haired woman's eyes started to water. "Henry." She whispered. She would never see him again. And he would wonder where his mother would be. What was Emma supposed to tell him? He would be miserable. He trusted Y/n. They all trusted her. A soft click snapped the Evil Queen out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw the door open. Emma looked up at her. "What was that again?" She questioned. The two women left the cell that was holding them captive. "We need to find my parents and Gold. Maybe we can figure out a way to reverse all of this?" Emma suggested. Regina agreed and left the darkened room. They walked up the stairs and pushed open the doors that were shutting out all the light. Emma squeezed her eyes shut quickly by the sudden light hitting his eyes.

"Rise and shine! We have news for you!" Y/n sang as she made her way down the stairs."Emma? Regina?" She called out teasingly. The Lost Girl quickly realized that the door of the prison cell was open. "No, no, no, no!" She repeated over and over again. "Peter!" She exclaimed, "You better come down here." She added. Within seconds Pan and Killian were standing beside Y/n. They all looked at the empty prison cell. Pan's eyes widened. "You were keeping them here?" Killian asked. "It was a cell designed to hold Rumpelstiltskin captive." Y/n started. She turned her head to look at her boyfriend. "And yet they escaped." She gritted between her teeth. Pan glared at her. "Are you blaming me for this, Darling?"Pan questioned. "You locked them in here, Peter. Please tell me you used a barrier spell to keep them here." Y/n replied. "No, I took their magic. That seemed enough to me." Pan admitted. Y/n sighed and threw her head back annoyedly. "No, no, no." She sighed. Killian looked at the demon boy. "It thought Peter Pan never failed." He spoke up. "I didn't." Pan barked at him.Y/n raised her hand, about to slap it gently against the back of Pan's head like she always does whenever Felix does something stupid. Pan quickly reacted by grabbing her wrist. "Slap me, huh?" He spoke. "Force of habit when someone close to me does something stupid." She replied harshly. Pan squeezed her wrist tightly, digging his nails into her flesh. Y/n swallowed hard, regretting what she had said. "Sorry." She said quietly. Pan raised his eyebrows. "You're comparing me to him, aren't you?" He asked her. Y/n shook her head submissively. But her eyes showed dominance. Deep down, she wanted to bark another comment at him. Something that would infuriate him. Pan hated it when she compared him to Felix. And she wasn't going to let him treat her like this. Not after everything that has happened. So she decided to not do this now. Pan noticed the furious look in her eyes but let go of her wrist. "Never compare me to Felix." He whispered to her in a demonic way. Y/n nodded her head. The pirate moved closer to the prison cell. His eyes fell on the small paperclip that was still inside the lock. "Emma," He said. He bends down to pull the clip out of the lock. He held it up for Pan and Y/n to look at. "Shit." Y/n cursed under her breath. She moved towards the stairs. "We have to find them. Now." She said.

"Snow, we've looked everywhere," David tells his wife. "Well, they have to be around here somewhere." Snow replied. "We've checked all over town. Emma and Regina aren't here. We need to find Gold." David said, "He might be the only one that can help us." He added. Snow shook her head. "No, not yet. We can find her ourselves."She said. David places his hands on the sides of her arms. "We need help, Snow."He tells her. "No need to." A voice behind them suddenly said. The two fairytale characters turned around to see their daughter walking straight toward them. Regina was following close behind. Snow White pulled her daughter into a tight embrace. David joined in on the hug. "We were so worried about you." Snow tells her daughter. Emma patted their backs gently. "I'm fine, guys." She assured them. Snow pulled away from their hug. She looked at Regina for a quick second. "What happened to you two?" She asked. "I can explain that," Another voice spoke up. The group turned around. Y/n was making their way towards them. Killian was walking next to her. His eyes locked with Emma's. David pushed his family behind him protectively. Regina also took a step forward. "You have a lot of nerves coming here." She spoke. Y/n folded her arms over her chest. "I could say the same thing about you." She snapped back. Before Regina could say anything else, Y/n turned her attention to the Charming Family. "Now that the whole family is together, I would like to tell you what we are doing here. What we're actually doing here." She tells them. There was a hint of playfulness in the tone of her voice. She had a bright smile on her face. A psychotic smile. the lost Girl pointed a finger at Regina. "You see, she's the reason why we're here." She said. The Charmings furrowed their eyebrows as they turned to Regina. "I have to admit, Regina, you've played your part well." She added. "I don't know what you're talking about," Regina replied. "There is no need for that anymore, Regina. I know what you did. I was there that day... on the ship."Y/n continued. "Regina, what is she talking about?" Emma questioned. Y/n chuckled at her. "About your beloved pirate, of course," Y/n answered simply. Killian reached out his hand. He was eager to touch Emma. Just their skins touching. He needed it. The woman he loved, he needed to feel her. Being dead made him realize he should admit his feelings to her before it was too late. 

"Emma," Killian whispered. The blonde woman turned to look at him. "Love, she's lying to you." Killian continued. Emma shook her head. "Killian, what are you talking about?" She asked him. Y/n stepped towards Emma. She wrapped her arm around the woman's shoulder and pointed her finger at the Evil Queen again. "She ripped his heart out. She tried to blame Rumpelstiltskin for her actions, and, of course, you all fell for it." Y/n explained. David shook his head. "No, she couldn't have." He said. Snow agreed with her husband. "She wouldn't. Right, Regina?"She said. Emma removed Y/n's arm from around her shoulder. "You've tricked us before. Why should we trust you now?" She questioned. Y/n shrugged. "Fine. If you won't listen to me, you can ask the other person who was there that day."She replied. Emma looked at Killian who stood behind the Lost Girl. "She's telling the truth, Love," Killian assured her. Emma stared blankly at the pirate. Snow White and David looked at Regina. The Evil Queen looked down at her feet. The savior turned to Regina. "Regina?" She started. "I wanted Henry to be safe."She admitted. Emma glared at her. "So you decided to kill him?" She asked. The Evil Queen didn't answer. "You wanted to kill all of them, didn't you?" Emma asked. Regina looked up at the blonde. Her eyes filled with guilt. Emma shook her head and took a step back. "Emma-" Regina started. Killian looked at Y/n. She gave him a slight nod. The pirate stepped closer to the blonde and put his hand on her shoulder. Emma turned to him. No words were spoken. Killian wrapped his arms around her, embracing her tightly. Y/n stepped towards Regina. "Oops. Did we just spill your little secret?" She whispered. "You're the one to talk."Regina snapped at her. She reached out her hand to grab Y/n's throat when she was stopped by magic. Y/n smirked at her. "Having trouble moving?" She asked. She let out another chuckle. When she wanted to take another step closer to Regina, she too was stopped by magic. It was as if her feet were glued to the ground.

Y/n furrowed her eyebrows as she looked down at her feet. "What the hell?" She cursed. Killian hurried towards her. "Dad, what's happening?" She whispered. Rumpelstiltskin made his way toward them. Y/n started to laugh. "Of course it's you." She said. The dark one stood a few feet away from the Lost Girl. "What do you want, imp?" She asked. Rumple glared at her. "I want to keep my soul." He started, "You want to trade my soul for his." He added. Emma raised an eyebrow. "What? No, she traded Regina's soul for Killian's." She tells him. Rumple raised his hand to squeeze her throat to cut off her airways. She wanted to raise her hands to release herself from his grip. His magic grip. But she couldn't. Killian drew his sword to attack him but was also stopped by the dark one's magic. "You keep your hands off my daughter, crocodile." He barked at him. Rumple ignored him. He sealed his mouth shut tightly. "Let me tell you something, sweetheart," Rumple started. He harshly grabbed her face with his large hand. "It takes a lot more to keep me away from killing him than selling my soul." He gritted between his teeth. Y/n was still trying to catch her breath. "You're killing her! She's dying!" Snow yelled. "She should! She is dangerous!" Rumple replied. He leaned closed to the young girl. His grip was released but his hand remained around her neck. She was panting loudly. "You're going to regret this." She tells him in a raspy voice. "You think you're so smart. Selling Regina's soul to Hades. But that's not going to keep me away from my revenge, sweetheart." He spoke up. "Why are you here, Rumple?" She asked. "To make him suffer for the rest of eternity. "Rumple answered. His hands traveled down towards her chest. Y/n glared at him with angry eyes. "By killing me?" She questioned. The dark one shook his eyes. "Oh, no, dearie. I'm going to do something much, much, worse." He promised.
