Next day

Regina's POV

Regina was walking down the stairs, about to go to work. Her phone vibrated as Robin texted her.

Robin: Zelena demands a witch fight.

Regina: When did this happen?

Robin: Last night, after I left your house she was waiting for me. She said she was going to turn everybody you care about into flying monkeys if you refused. Including me.

Regina sighed as she typed the next text in.

Regina: tell Zelena today at 3, clock tower.

Robin: Bye love you

Regina: Bye

She grimaced at her message. Reconsidering she added

Regina: love you too

She knew what Zelena wanted. Her heart. She decided to pay a trip to her vault. In a puff of purple smoke, she was there. She pulled her heart out. Without it she felt -- empty. She Regina examined her heart, blackened and red. It was starting to heal. She pulled out a bag and carefully placed the heart in it. She needed to give to someone who wouldn't give it up, someone who had magic to protect it. Emma.

Emma's POV

She was eating cereal in front of her TV as she heard a screeching of tires come to a stop in front of her house. A brunette got out, poker face ? on. She opened the door, revealing Regina standing there all business like with a bag in her hand. Her make up was perfectly done and she was dressed in a dress that helped accentuate her hourglass figure. Oops thought Emma. No time for these types of thoughts. Regina meets business.

Regina pushed herself through the door.

"Miss Swan do you have a hiding spot?" Regina asked looking around anxiously. She pulled her heart out if the bag and explained the situation.

"You want ME to do it" asked Emma in surprise. She looked around as if there was somebody else Regina could have been talking to.

Regina nodded a yes. "Emma" she said placing the bag in her hands. "I trust you and besides you have magic."

Emma smiled as if she won something. In reality she did. She won Regina's trust.

3 o'clock

Regina's POV

Regina was reading her letter, the one she always came to for reassurance. She was crying silently to herself. She put on her brave face trying not to let her emotions show. Emma walked into the office announcing she hid the heart. She noticed Regina's tear stained cheeks and sat by her, and wrapped her arm around Regina. She noticed Regina didn't flinch this time.

"Regina" she said. "What wrong?"

Everything thought Regina. My own mother and the person who taught me everything I know about magic thinks she is stronger and more powerful than me. He thinks she will be able to win.

But she just shook her head and got ready to face Zelena.

She transported her and Emma to the clock tower. Henry was waiting for them there. Regina ran over.

"Henry it won't be safe" she said.

"Mom I want to watch you win though" Henry protested.

Regina firmly shook her head no.

"She's right kid. It's too dangerous" Emma agreed.

Emma put her arm around Henry and began walking to the woods where she hid the heart.

As soon as they were out of sight, Greenie appeared and the crowd from Granny's started to gather.

"He should have chosen me" Zelena shouted angrily.

"Who" Regina asked.

"Rumplestilitskin" Zelena growled.

"That's what this is about" Regina asked amused. "Your jealous of me?"

Zelena gave her a look that could kill. Regina chuckled and with a flick of her hand sent the stoplight hanging above them tumbling down with a shower of sparks. Zelena sent it away almost without batting an eyelash.

"You got everything you ever wanted and you didn't even deserve it. Now I'm going to take it all from YOU" Zelena growled and sent Regina flying in the car with a horrible crash as she her the crowd gasp.

Regina got up, she was mad now. She lit a fireball in her hand as she stalked over to Zelena. Zelena just extinguished it and picked Regina up, chocking her.

"You can't kill me" Regina chocked out, grasping for air.

"But I know someone who can." Revealed Zelena, pulling out the dagger, with Rumplestilitskin inscribed on it.

"Don't you feel it Regina. He's taking your heart"
