The Dark Hearted: Book 2 of The Six Saviors Of Storybrooke (CANCELED)

Kill the Queen

"Henry!" Yells Emma.
"Mom!"
Emma looks at the crowd going toward Regina's house. She heard Henry's voice coming from there.
"Henry!" Yells Emma again.
"I'm here!" Yells Henry back.
Emma runs toward the crowd, shoving people to get to Henry. Finally, she sees him.
"Henry?" Says Emma.
"Mom!" Yells Henry and runs to hug her.
"Oh my gosh Henry! I thought I'd never see you again. How is this possible. What the hell did Regina do to you?"
Mary Margaret and David catch up to them.
"Henry! Your okay!" Says Mary Margaret and both she and David hug him.
"It all has to do with my mom, Regina." Says Henry. "When she turned my heart black something happened. My mom said it happened because my heart is special."
"What happened?" Says Emma.
"When she turned my heart black, only half did." Says Henry.
"What the hell? How did that happen?" Says Emma.
"Like all of us, we have a dark side, and when we turn to it, our hearts, our whole hearts turn dark. But my heart is special. Only half of it turned dark. For my mom to enact the curse, she has to crush the heart of the thing she loved most. And that was me, but the dark side of me." When Henry says that, sadness shows up in his face.
"Hey kid. It's okay. Your mom still loves you even though your not evil." Says Emma. "What matters is that your safe. Now Regina has to pay for ruining everybody else's lives."
"No wait!" Says Henry. "You can't kill her. She's still my mom."
"Your right kid. I'm sorry. We better catch up to the others or they'll kill her before we get there. Hurry!" Says Emma and they all start running to catch up. They're about five blocks away and they can see Dr. Whale knocking on Regina's door furiously.
"We'll never making in time." Says Mary Margaret.
"I have an idea." Says Emma. "Magic. I can poof my self up to Regina's doorstep."
"Well do it now or Regina will die any minute." Says David.
Emma closes her eyes as she concentrates. She thinks where is she and where she wants to go. She wants to go to Regina's house. Emma opens her eyes and sees white smoke starting to engulf her. She's doing it. Then she's at Regina's house but not in. She's like hovering over it.
"What happened!" Says Emma out loud.
Emma can see Regina opening her door. She sees Regina pushing Whale off her doorstep saying.
"The only punishment is listening to you." Referring to Whale.
Then Regina grins.
"You wanted your queen?" She says. "Well here she is." And as she says that she throws forward her hands at the crowd. The crowd crouches but nothing happens.
"She's powerless!" Someone yells.
"No!" Yells Regina.
"Kill her!" Someone yells.
Emma is to late. She'll never make it. Then she realizes. She didn't think where in Regina's house she wanted to go.
"Her front porch." Says Emma. Then she feels that she is being pulled down and then she's in the white cloud again. When it clears, she is in front of Regina, blocking the crowd.
"How did you do that?" Says Regina.
Emma ignores Regina and speaks to the crowd.
"Stop! You can't kill her."
"And who says we can't." Says Whale
"I do. I'm still sheriff."
"Oh please." Says Regina. "That was an unfair election."
"Don't you see I'm trying to save your life here?" Says Emma.
"Get out of my way!" Says Whale and pushes Emma to the ground.
Regina backs up but hits the wall.
"Your end is here." Says Whale. "Your Majesty."
Whale starts choking Regina and she makes a horrible gurgling sound. Emma stands up but other people grab her, preventing her from saving Regina. Emma can see Regina turning blue. She can hear people cheering and laughing. What will Henry think.
"Stop!"
Whale lets go of Regina's throat and turns around. Regina falls to the ground and breathes heavily. Regina regains her breath and looks up.
"Henry." Says Regina. "You saved me."
Henry is relieved that his mom is okay but he's still mad at her for turning his heart dark. For loving his dark side more than him. He doesn't say nothing at Regina and backs up. Mary Margaret and David arrive too.
"She has to pay!" Yells Whale.
"Henry please!" Yells Regina. "Tell them to have mercy."
Henry just stands there.
Mary Margaret walks up to Regina and speaks to the crowd.
"Killing Regina is not the right answer. She has to be locked up her safety. But more importantly ours."
"Henry. They can't lock me up." Says Regina. "Make them understand that I just want you."
"That's not true!" Yells Henry. "You just like my dark side. You just want me to be evil. I don't want to see you."
"Henry wait!" Yells Regina but it's to late.
"Henry!" Yells Emma.
"No matter. I have enough power to bring him back." Says Regina.
Regina waves we hands and Henry poofs in front of Regina in purple smoke.
"She has magic!" Someone yells.
"Regina what are you doing. Leave Henry alone!" Yells Emma.
"I'm sorry Emma. And Henry. I don't want to do this, but I need to have you at my side Henry. I love you."
"What are you going to do Regina." Says Emma.
Emma starts to move toward Henry but Regina waves her heads and casts a protection spell making a barrier that separates Henry from Emma.
"Regina. Please don't harm him. What are you going to do?" Says Emma.
"The only way Henry will love me is if he understands me." Says Regina.
"You don't mean..."
"Yes." Regina finishes Emma's words.
Henry's eyes widen when he realizes what it means.
"No you can't turn me evil again. No!" Yells Henry.
"Regina don't do it!" Yells Emma. "It's not possible. You already crushed the dark side of his heart."
"That's true." Says Regina. "Now his heart is like any other. It'll turn completely black. Not just half but the whole thing. Just dark."
"Magic can't make someone love you." Says Emma.
"I don't care if he just thinks he loves me. It's enough for me." Says Regina.
"But it won't be real." Says Emma.
Regina looks depressed when she hears that. Maybe she'll understand that Henry can love her for real by her being good. But that's too hard for her. Regina sticks her hand in Henry's chest and he screams.
"Regina no!" Yells Emma.
Regina rips out Henry heart and puts it in a box that poofed in her hand. Henry looks at Regina with pain and a tear slips from Regina.
"I'm sorry." She says.
Regina waves her hand over the heart and black smoke covers it. Henry starts screaming dreadfully. You can hear the pain in his screams. Then he stops. I'm the box is a black heart.
"Henry?" Says Regina.
Henry stands there with a face that isn't his. Everyone is I silent and still. Suddenly, Henry lunges at Regina and knocks her to the ground.
"Henry!" Yells Emma but she can't do anything because of the protection spell.
Henry puts his hand in Regina's chest and rips her heart out. Henry has an evil grin as he starts to squeeze the heart.
"Ah. Ah. Henry stop!" Yells Regina.
"Emma!" Yells Mary Margaret. "Break the protection spell."
"I don't now how!" Says Emma.
"Trust yourself. You can do it." Says Mary Margaret.
Emma puts her hands up and concentrates. She has to stop Henry. She has to save Regina. She has to break this barrier.
The barrier starts flickering and disappears. Regina is screaming with agony. Emma doesn't have time to run up so she blasts the heart out of Henry's hand. Henry starts running toward Emma. He grabs a knife that was on the ground that someone from the crowd dropped. He wants to kill Emma. Emma is too stunned by the sight of Henry wanting to kill her that she can't stop him. He can't hurt him. Henry raises his arms and is aiming the knife directly to Emma's heart. He is inches away from Emma when he disappears in purple smoke. Emma sees that Regina has her hand extended. She saved her.
"Thank you Regina." Says Emma.
"I didn't know he would hate me. He loved me the first time." Says Regina.
"That's because half of his heart was still pure." Says Emma.
"I'm sorry." Says Regina.
"Where did you send him?" Says Emma.
"With the other dark hearted. With the Saviors loved ones."
"So the curse banished the Saviors?"
"Yes." Says Regina.
"To where?"
Regina pauses as she doesn't really want to tell Emma but what's the point if Emma is never going to be able to save them. Then Regina starts laughing.
"What's so funny?" Says Emma.
"It's that just now, it seems so stupid banishing the Saviors. It would've been easier to save Henry with their help."
"Well now you see what your actions cost you. All magic comes with a price. So where are they. Maybe we can get them back."
"Impossible. There in the Enchanted Forest."
"We'll just have to find a way. Well I'm sorry but we have to lock you up." Says Emma. "It's over guys." Says Emma to the crowd. "She's being locked up and Henry is too. Nothing to worry about."
Emma leads Regina to the sheriff station by foot since she didn't come in the car.
"I just thought something." Says Emma. "If Henry's whole heart is dark, how can it be turned back pure?"
"That's what I was hoping you didn't figure out what to do when Henry loved me. But now that he hates me even more we need to find how to turn him good again." Says Regina.
"So you don't know?" Says Emma.
"No. We have to find a way." Says Regina.
"We? Nope. Not you. You are going to be locked up here until you see what you did. The maybe you can help us."
They arrive at the station and Emma locks up Regina.
"This is all your fault you know." Says Emma and leaves the station.
Regina has to find a way to get back Henry. She didn't mean for him to be like that. She didn't mean for him to hate her. She has to get out of here. Regina puts her hand over the lock and concentrates. She wants it to open.
"Magic is different now deary."
Regina is startled by the voice.
"What are you doing here imp."
"I'm sorry I was going to help you get out but I think I changed my mind."
"What are you doing here... Rumpelstiltskin. Gold. Whatever you liked to be called these days." Says Regina.
"As I said I came to free you and to my surprise you were already making an escape. But now that the curse is broken magic is different. That's why your magic is acting up." Says Gold.
"So free me then." Says Regina.
"But since you insulted me I changed my mind." Says Gold.
"What are you going to do then? Kill me?" Says Regina.
"Oh no. I'm not. But this will."
Gold grabs Regina's hand through the bars and puts a gold round medallion on Regina's hand. Regina screams at it burns her hand.
"What is that?!" Says Regina.
"Your fate!" Says Gold and releases her hand.
Regina looks at her hand. It stings but nothing is in it. She looks up at Gold who is leaving.
"Goodbye deary." Says Rumpel and leaves Regina questioning.
