Once Upon The Underworld (Once Upon A Time)

Chapter 12: "A Voice I Wouldnt Soon Forget."

Emma's POV:

"The twist," I mumbled. "That's what it was. We were never in the underworld. They were all here." I jerked my head up from my thoughts. "Gold how could you do that! That's dangerous!" I'd spoken very impulsively, but it was in fact pretty dangerous. Every evil villain that was dead could wreak serious havoc: Pan, Cora, Cruella, Greg and Tamara. I could go on forever. Plus, those people could have their powers back. Oh no. I had to warn the others.

Rumplestiltskin's POV:

My secrets out. Miss Swan just ran out of the shop, most likely to snitch on what I've done. Now I really had to work quick. Or else.

Regina's POV:

"That was a lovely service, Killian," I said to Hook, patting him gently on the arm. He was still pretty shaken up from giving his eulogy at the funeral, and was now set on finding his daughter's mother. "Thank you Regina," he mumbled. "It means a lot." Snow and David walked up beside me. "I guess Emma listened to me," David commented. "She didn't show." I nodded. "Yes. I told her it was best to stay away, too. I'm not Killian's biggest fan, but I think I can spare him that much." Hook was walking, hands in his pockets, hurriedly down the street. "Killian!" Snow called, waving him over. Solemnly, he turned around. "I really have to go," he said. "I can't let Milah get far." "We told Emma not to come," she said. Killian's face morphed from blank to hurt and angry. He cleared his throat. "Thank you." He turned, looked both ways across the street, and scurried away. Behind us, there were footsteps running across the gravel road. I swerved, my hands ready in case it was some demonic underworld creature. As the figure neared, I saw it was only Miss Swan. "You scared me!" I scoffed, returning my hands to my coat pockets. "I thought you were some demon." Emma panted, out of breath. "That's exactly what I need to tell you guys," she said. She then explained how instead of taking us down to the underworld, Gold brought everyone from it up to our world. "Idiot!" I shouted, angered. How could Gold be so impulsive and stupid. I knew this would be a mistake. "That means all our enemies are here," Mary Margaret said softly. David nodded. "Everyone we've managed to get rid of." I glanced over at Emma. I could tell she felt like everyone was ignoring her. I nudged her mother and gestured toward her. "Emma," she said quickly. "Why don't you, your father, and I go somewhere for lunch." She smiled. "Our treat." Emma stared at her brown boots and shrugged. "Yeah," she said. "If you really want me to." "Of course," David said, taking her by the band. I smiled as they walked off in the direction of Granny's. Emma did something bad, but haven't we all? I know I have. If everyone can forgive me, they can forgive her too. I sighed as I walked off to find Robin. But something stopped me. It was the distinct feeling that I was being watched. I looked to my left and right, even behind me. No one there. It was only until I began walking again that I heard the voice. "Regina." It was a voice I had heard all my life, one that I wouldn't soon forget. I sighed and turned around. "Mother."
