Fight The Darkness Or Give In?

I Can Save Her?

"Okay, let me see if I got this right. The only way to save Regina is for me to help her realize that she is not dark?" Snow asked in confusion. Out of everyone she thought she was the last person to ever help Regina. Since you know Regina hated her for so long.

Henry nodded. "Yup, that's what grandpa said. Only the person who gave her the first dark thoughts can save her."

"Oh, Henry I don't know if I can do it. She is not her redeemed self right now. Right now she is just a woman struggling with darkness." Snow explained gently.

"But you can help her! She won't hurt you because you are the only one who can save her." Henry argued.

"I have to say I agree with the lad." Hook said and stood up from the chair that he was sitting on. Emma raised an eyebrow at him.

"Since when do you want to help Regina?" She asked.

"Regina and I used to be close friends... Before the whole meeting Snow thing, we knew each other. Then we just stopped talking, that is until I snuck into her castle and she caught me. She gave me the job to kill her mother but I double crossed her. Then we became enemies. I owe her. She wasn't meant to be dark either. She was just a broken woman who made all the wrong choices." Hook said with a sad smile.

"Fine. I'll try to help Regina as much as I can." Snow said, determined.

"Great!" Henry said with a huge smile on his face.

Regina sat on the forest floor trying to ignore the thoughts running through her head.

Unlovable
Evil
Hated
Alone
Worthless
Pathetic

"Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut up!!" Regina yelled out as tears ran down her face.

Why would I do that? It's all true.

"No, is not!!" Regina cried out as she started to shake. She never expected that becoming the Dark One will bring her such thoughts. But then again she guesses it all depends on the person.

Yes, it is. Your sister is having a baby with YOUR soulmate. Your son is with the Un- charming's. Your dear 'friend' Hook never cared about you. Snow? Well she will never help you. As for Charming, he is too busy pretending to be a prince that he won't care either. Face the facts Regina, you have no one. No one at all.

That just made Regina cry harder. "Maybe your right..." She whispered.

Atta girl! Not to worry soon you'll get your happily ever after, my dear.

Robin walked into Zelena's asylum room and looked at her right in the eyes. His eyes shining with anger and hate towards this woman.

Zelena just smirked and raised an eyebrow at him. "Miss me already, dear husband?" She asked mockingly.

"No. Something has happened to Regina."

"And I care because...?" Zelena laughed. "Oh, yeah that's right I don't care."

"She's the new dark one." Robin said, seriously. Zelena's smile faded.

"What?"

"You heard him, dear. I am the new Dark One." They both turned and looked at Regina. She had dark make up on with a tight black leather jeans, black shirt, a black leather jacket, black leather boots, and her hair was loose and long.

Zelena was speechless. "What, jealous that I got more power than you now?" Regina asked laughing bitterly. "Be careful, dear. We wouldn't want you to turn green."
