Days of Darkness

Chapter 6 Punished

Marry Marget's POV

"Henry!"

"Grandma what is it? Did you find her?"

"No but I think I know how we can."

"How?"

I am about to tell him but Hook taps me on the shoulder and points to somebody running towards us. "I think that is your mother Regina lad." He whips his head around to look at the figure running towards us. As it gets closer I can see it is her but somebody else is behind her and I grab Henrys arm and pull him behind me and Hook. As they get closer I see who the other person is but I don't believe what my eyes tell me. I... I Killed her. How could she be back here? As soon as Regina is only a few feet away she says, "Don't worry she saved Robin and me from Emma." As soon as she says that Henry starts racing towards her and after they hug they start walking towards me.

"But how is she here?" I manage to get out once they have reached us.

"I don't know but we need to talk somewhere safe," as she says it she has a look of agony on her face.

"How about the Jolly Roger." Of corse that is the first place Hook's mind goes to. He probably has a stash of rum or something hidden on it. But Emma would think to look there. I am about to say something about it but I am beat to it.

"Really Captain Guyliner, that is the first place Emma would think to look and it isn't protected by magic like my vault is. I can put a blood lock on it and then only Zelena, my mother and me could get in, unless there is some other sibling I wasn't informed of." she shoots Cora a glare, "Lucky for us the only two in this realm that can open it are right here." Next thing I know I am standing in the middle of her vault. But I still don't trust Cora, the last time we saw her she was trying to kill my whole family and she managed to manipulate Regina into working with her. Not to mention she was dead... wait the only why she could be here is if a living soul took her place and David is still missing!

"Regina!!" I scream and apparently I scared everyone because they are all staring at me.

"What?"

"I need to talk to you... alone," I gesture over to the others and she just rolls her eyes and then they are gone.

"What?"

"I think your mother... killed David so that she could live!"

"Ok slow down. You think that she killed your husband so that she could live? Why would she do that?"

"I don't know but right now that is my only logical guess."

"You call that logical?"

"Yes and considering what she has done in the past I don't doubt it."

"Ok, true but why would she... wait she showed up almost immediately after Emma left and she knew... oh no..." She has this look of shier terroir on her face. And what does she mean after Emma left? Left were?

"Regina whats wrong? What's going on?" She doesn't respond she just stands there the same look on her face. She looks at the stairs and then at me.

"My mother has Emma's heart..."

"WHAT?!"

"I don't know how she could have gotten it but she has Emma's heart."

"How do you know for sure?" She just stares at me again with the look that she gives when she has done something terrible. "Regina... what did you do?!"

"I...I tried to..."

"You tried to what?!"

"I tried to rip Emma's heart out but it wasn't in her chest!"

"WHAT?!"

Emma's POV

"REGINA!!!" I wake up scream Regina's name at the top of my lungs, but I have no idea why. I look around and surprise I am on the floor. Probably got knocked out again, they love doing that. And great I have that stupid cuff on again it is uncomfortable and annoying. I stand up and walk back into the room where they were holding Regina, I don't know why I just feel like I need to go in there. But when I walk in I immediately wish I hadn't because as soon as I open the door tied down to a table I don't remember being there, is Henry. "Henry?" But when he turns his head to she who said his name all that I see is terroir like he was afraid of me. "Henry it's ok..." but instead of realizing that it is me he looks away. I start towards him, "Henry please... whats going on? How did you get here? Wait, who brought you here?"

He just turns to me and looks me straight in the eyes, "I don't know why I am here... Why don't you ask yourself..."

"What?!"

"You knocked out Hook right after Cora went to help and then took me."

"Henry you have to believe me that wasn't me."

"And why should I believe you... Dark One..." When he says that I just want to crumble into a millions pieces.

"Because I have no control over myself anymore they have my heart and the Dagger. I also have this cuff on my wrist so I can't use magic." He looks over at me trying to determine if he believes me or not. But the she walks in behind me.

"You silly girl as if I would let you tell him that without punishment." She pulls out my heart and starts squeezing it. I fall to the floor crying in pain. All I can hear is Henry screaming that he is sorry he should have known and then pleading and demanding for her to stop. The last thing I hear is her saying, "You're no longer needed you broke her now you can leave," she flicks her wrist and he disappears in a cloud of smoke and she is gone too. Then I am left there alone. What are they up to? And why do they need me? I here whispers I don't recognize but it is hard to recognize anybodies whispers now. They are whispering my name, they are summoning me.
