As eloise walked away from the girl she turned a corner as a migraine hit her, eloise hit a wall as she wasn't walking straight. Memories hitting her but not hers, magic memories of a child crying in a basket in the wood as a man with no face picked her up, all of a sudden it were random flashes of the child growing up in horror

"Eloise, love are you okay?" Killian said standing infront of her as he was searching for her the entire night"I'm fine, killian," eloise said stumbling her way to the ship"

"The next morning as eloise walked around town she saw her adoptive son sword fighting with her little brother, as she stood by the side lines a smile swept on her face as it quickly disappeared, she locked eyes with her mother. Eloise's heart was dark and it was taking over"

...
"You know using magic comes at a price," eloise said to her mother appearing at the hospital door where belle was"i made her remember, there's nothing wrong with that," regina said as a smirk appeared on her face"

"Nice to see you haven't changed a bit," eloise said walking with her mother"and you have completely changed, my dear child," regina said as they entered her office"

"What have you done to belle!," mr.gold said walking in not long after" i don't know what your talking about," regina said as eloise put her feet on the table"first she didn't remember anything and now she goes by lacey!" Gold said as eloise smiled" you mean she got her memories back...your welcome," regina said standing up"not her real memories...her cursed memories, bring her back!" Gold said again raising his voice"

"That's not possible, she crossed the town line,"regina said as she sat back down"look gold, you got your girl but what i've learned from being here is that you should take the girl, start over," eloise said with an attitude as she smiled" her old memories are gone...her cursed memories are now real," regina said as she glanced a smile at rumple"lacey is here to stay," she said again"

"Any curse can be broken, dear. Your gonna help me," mr. Gold said as regina slammed down papers"or what? You'll kill me, kill my daughter faster?," regina said as Eloise's eyes opened at the sound of her mother calling her daughter"

"No you won't"

"Oh, won't i?"

"Your on your best behavior for you're son...you don't want him to know who you really are do you?" Regina said again taunting the man"so i suggest you get used to lacey," the woman said turning around"

"Alright, i'll found a way," gold said as he sat down at regina's table"finding a way isn't the problem..you know what is," eloise said leaning towards him"true loves kiss," gold said as he rolled his eyes"and i fear our new resident doesn't feel the same way for you as you do for her," regina said going back to work"then i'll make her!" Gold said raising his voice"

"There's the charm that should easily woo a young lady," regina said sarcastically"she must certainly fall in love with you at first sight...oh wait that didn't happen," eloise said with a slight laugh as gold stood up aggressively"she will and i'll promise you there will be suffering," gold said leaning toward both the girls"

"Finally something we can both agree on...goodluck gold," regina said as the man walked out"oh and...give my best to lacey," eloise said with a smile before the man walked further"

"I should go," eloise said standing up"we should meet for coffee soon," regina said behind eloise's back as a weak smile appeared on her face"

"As eloise walked to the nearby bar she sat down right beside a man, a man she hadn't properly spoken to"

"Bourbon please," eloise said raising her hand"good to see you, eloise," the man said standing up from his seat" hello, david...stay and have a drink with me," eloise said with a fake pouty lip"i am not drinking with a dying evil princes," david said walking away as eloise raised her glass"

"How's snow!" Eloise yelled as david turned back"what do you know about mary margeret?" David said leaning on the bar"that if she isn't going to be saved soon, her heart will darken and she'll end up just like i am," eloise said as david scoffed as he walked out the bar"

"Eloise walked out of the bar after a few drinks, she stumbled towards her ship as she yelled for killians name getting no reaction"

"Mother...killian he's g-," eloise said running into her mothers office early in the morning to see her husband sitting right there"he's right here, dear." Regina said as eloise slowly closed the door"where were you?" Eloise asked walking up to him"i'm sorry, love. I was taken by  outsider"killian said as eloise's hands rested on his cheeks"what did they want?" Eloise said taking a step back"the want me to take an alliance with you and then betray you...so i'd say lets skip the betrayal and go right to the alliance," killian said talking to regina"

"Why should i trust you?" Regina asked looking both at him and eloise"i kept up with your mother for a reason, let's say us three form that again," killian said as both eloise and regina looked down" i completely forgot...i am truly sorry," killian said looking down"just know this...regina, i knew your mother well enough to know that the one thing she wanted was for you to win," the man said again as regina's eyes softened"

"Let me show you something," regina said walking towards a glass case"an escape plan...she brought over that giant to go back and start over with you," killian said letting off a soft smile"now i'm going to do that with henry...and you eloise," regina said with a smile on her face"if you'll help me, this is how we're gonna escape the total destruction of storybrooke...if i can trust you," regina said as her voice lowered"

"When you say total destruction, including the crocodil...yes?" Killian said tilting his head slightly"oh, yes...rumplestiltskin will die!" Regina said as they all three smiled"

"If you help me,"

"Is this really a three person job?"killian said as the entered the library elevator"not anymore...because of magic," regina said as the elevator doors opened with a swish of her hand"

"As they entered the caves underneath, they walked through a maze like cave to an open canyon"

"So how do we get this trigger?" Killian said as he looked around"from an old friend...where ever she may be in here," regina said as both killian and eloise looked around"this is why it is a three person job, i need one with magic and bait," the woman said again pushing killian down the cliff in the cave"

"Killian!" Eloise yelled leaning over the edge"he'll be fine...come help your mother," regina said walking to a glass cage"thats it! You needed a diamond," eloise said as anger laced her voice"oh, calm down that husband of yours will live," regina said as eloise went to lean back over the cliff"

"Killian, where are you?" Eloise yelled as she heard the screatching getting louder"i'm over here, love"killian said appearing behind her, as they both turn around regina vanished"

"As regina came out of the elevator, eloise had already gotten back up with killian, fire burning out of Eloise's hand, regina startled at the sight"

"Startling isn't it?" Killian said with a grin on his face"some people say striking," eloise added as regina put away the diamond"you couldn't have survived that,"regina said as a little fear appeared in her eyes"one thing i'm good at is surviving...but the most amazing thing is, you almost had me...all that stuff about a fresh clean start and about killing them and moving on," killian said walking closer to regina"

"It kind of touched me...for a moment there i felt a connection...you know a mother-in-law and a son-in-law connection," killian said as eloise came up behind him, making the fire disappear

"And honestly i almost put a stop to my plan," he said again as regina looked confused"your plan?" Regina said with a smile"well, their plan...do you know these two?" Killian said as tamara and greg walked in"killian, who are they?"eloise said confused, almost scared until she felt the darkness move closer"they have a way with magic...or shall i say against magic," killian said as eloise had a smile on her face"

"Enough of this," regina said trying to summon magic"yeah, thag won't work...not anymore," greg said as regina had soft tears in her eyes"Eloise! Are you going to do this to your own mother!" Regina yelled as greg took her"killian...w-wait," eloise said putting a hand on her heart"
