When they all reach the walls of the Queen's castle, Emma turns around to the rest of them. 

"Okay, this is the Queen's castle. We have to get Rumplestiltskin's son's cloak, I think I know where it is is. I only read it once in Henry's book. It's where she keeps her most valuable things."  

A glint of sadness crosses Emma's face but quickly disappears. She's thinking of Henry. How could a mother rip her son's heart, and crush it to dust. 

Because Regina wasn't his mother, I was.

"So let's go." Says Thomas, bringing Emma back to reality.

"Wait," says Emma, "Only some of us will go. We can't take the risk of the Queen catching us. If she does, whoever stays back will have to go for us." 

"I'll go," volunteers Thomas.

"I think we should let Emma decide who goes," suggests Cia, "She knows what we are getting ourselves into better than we do." 

Thomas looks angry, but still holds on. He still blames himself for Katniss' death.

"Okay," says Emma, "I think Thomas should go. He is the fastest and could escape with the cloak if we get caught. Cia can join us, too. You're quick too. That leaves Elsa and Tris. You will stay behind."

"But my powers are the best chance against the Queen." exclaims Elsa. 

"Exactly," says Emma, "If we get caught, we have the better chance of escaping if we get caught. You can free us with your powers and fight. Tris can fight too."

"I didn't think about that. You have a point," says Elsa. 

"Okay," says Emma, "Let's move."

Emma, Cia, and Thomas run around the castle walls to the back of the castle. The walls aren't very high on this side of the palace, so they just need a boost. Cia, being the shortest, goes first. Thomas gives her a boost and she's over the wall. Then he gives a boost to Emma. When Emma is on top, she gives a hand to Thomas and lifts him over the wall. The all are safely on the other side. They take a minute to catch their breath, wiping their sweat off with the only thing available; their shirts.

"Didn't..." says Cia panting, "anyone think... of bringing water?"

Emma takes off her red leather jacket and tosses it on the forest floor. She wipes her sweat with her undershirt.

"No," says Emma, "No one thought of bringing water unfortunately, but we have someone who can make a glacier, back there. Only we'll have to wait for it to melt."

"Are you serious," says Thomas, "We're about to break into the Evil Queen's castle and you're making jokes."

"Where's your sense of humor, Thomas," says Emma, "Oh, here!"

Emma waves her hand and three bottles of Ozarka water appear from a cloud of white smoke in each of one of their hands.

"What's Ozarka?" asks Thomas.

"I water the forest if you don't want it," suggests Emma.

Thomas rolls his eyes and chugs the entire water. Cia splashes some water in her face and Emma drinks. 

"What about the others?" asks Cia.

"We'll give them some when we get the cloak and are safe," says Emma, "For the mean time, they have Elsa."

"Okay, Llt's get on with things," says Thomas.

"There is a secret door that is the entrance to a corridor that goes directly to the Queen's thrown room," says Emma.

They go toward the castle wall and Emma touches the stones when they hear a click. A panel of the wall lifts up and a stair way is on the other side. 

"That was easy," says Emma, "Regina needs to remodel this place." 

They go through the door and up the stairs. They climb and climb until they reach another door. Emma puts her finger on her lips to keep them quiet. She slowly opens the door a tiny bit so she can see. She sees the queen with some one else. They are talking and it seems that the other man is trying to convince her on something. 

"Let me see," says Thomas. 

"Shhhh," hushes Emma "Okay, but be quiet." 

"I can't see," says Cia. 

Her, being so short, can't see over them. She crouches to the ground and looks through the other's legs so she can see.

"Be quiet, I'm trying to hear," says Emma. 

"You don't have to do this," says the man in the room with the Queen. 

The Queen stares at him wearing a face of sadness.

"I just don't know what to do daddy," sighs the Queen. 

"Daddy?" says Thomas. 

"This must be the day she enacts the curse," says Emma.

They Queen and her dad start speaking again:

"You don't have to make a curse to live happily ever after," says her dad, "You can live like that with me. We can live happily ever after. Without that curse." 

The Queen moves toward her dad and smiles. A kind smile. 

"Maybe your right, Daddy." says the Queen.

They hug each other for along time. Still hugging they speak:

"I love you Regina," says her dad.

"Maybe I can get my happy ending," says Regina. 

Still hugging her dad smiles and says, "I'm glad, mu daughter."

Regina departs from the embrace and starers into her father's eyes.

"But not here," as she sticks her hand into her father's chest and pulls his heart out. His dad looks at her with the look of sorrow and collapses to the floor. 

"I'm sorry daddy," says the Queen, and leaves with heart in hand. 

"We have to follow her," Says Emma. 

"Why?" Asks Thomas. 

"She's taking the heart to where she keeps all hearts. In her vault. That's where she stores all hre valuable possessions. Hurry, or we'll loose her."

They open the door and run into the room and out the door where the Queen went. They see her turn in a corner and they follow her. Regina enters a room and they wait. She comes out and is walking toward them. 

"Into that room," whispers Emma. 

They get in an empty room, and through the small opening of the door, they see the long cape of the Queen's dress pass by. 

"Clear," says Emma, "Let's go." 

They tip toe out the room they were hiding and sneak into the Queen's vault. It's a room full of boxes in slots but no keyhole or way to get them out. 

"Damn it!" says Emma. 

Suddenly a box slides forward. The go toward that box and read the label:

BAELFIRE

"This is it," shouts Emma in excitement, "This is where she's keeping the cloak!" 

"What do you thing you're doing?" says a sinister voice behind them.

 Chills run through their spines as they turn around and see her in the doorway.

"And who do you think you are?" demands the Queen.
