"So, what now?" Snow spoke up stepping towards Regina to look at the piece of parchment in her hand.

"Follow this recipe. We need a place to hide away from, well, myself." Regina shrugs as her eyes danced across the piece of paper and then handed it over to Rumple to let him take a look at it himself. He hummed as he gazed at the instructions "Dirt from the portal, blood from each member going back, and... faith" He pressed his lips together in a tight line. "Aye, easy enough I suppose. Any ideas on where to go, your majesty" he remarked snidely giving her the parchment.

"The vacation house should be safe? She caught Snow there once prior so, she wouldn't expect her back there I wouldn't think." Regina said.

"Can't believe she gave mom that much grace," Emma said with a huff.

"Well she did know me, I wouldn't go back after being caught there once." Snow shrugged and gave Regina a look. "But we should get going then, don't need to stay out in the open too long."

Regina nods her head and looked at Rumple "Want to do the honors this time?" She asked as he raised his arm up sending them to the vacation house in a whirl of deep red smoke.

As the smoke dissipated the towering castle stood before them. White stone with vines and beautiful flowers trailing up the side. The main focal point, the huge sun room leading off the front of the house with an all glass roof.

"Just as beautiful as I remember" Snow said softly with a small smile forming on her face.

Regina rubs her temples feeling pressure starting to build in her hand, wanting to be over this and back home again. "Okay, Charming, Hook go get the dirt please? Before it gets messed with. Then we will start the spell tomorrow, we all need rest." She said, talking about more herself than anyone else.

"Are you alright Regina, you are a bit pale..." Snow looked over at her. She just gave her a short nod.

"Yup, I am fine lets just get inside." She said and turned to the two men. "You two scram" She waves her hand at them before turning around and going inside the castle. "This place has been abandoned for a while, we should be okay here. I don't think we will come around here again." She shook her head and sat down on the couch, rubbing her hands on her dress with a soft sigh. Robin stepped behind the couch, placing a hand on her shoulder. "M'Lady are you sure you are alright?" He asked with a small frown. She pressed her lips together and huffs "Yes, Robin I am. Can that stopped being asked? I am fine. I am just ready for this to be over. This was supposed to be a simple trip and now we somehow get sent into the past. Nothing can ever be simple." She rolls her eyes, pushing her hair away from her face.

"Okay, well you can go up and rest. Rumple and I can sit and wait for them to come back. You ladies can rest." Robin nods at them and looked over at Rumple who nods his head. Regina sighs not going to fight this time and went towards the stairs, Snow following behind.

"You know, it is okay to admit to not being okay Regina" Snow said softly.

"I said I am fine what do you not hear?" She snaps and put a hand out after. "Just stop, please"

"I am looking out for you Regina." She said.

"And I don't need anyone looking out for me Snow. Never have, never will. So stop. I know my limits and I am fine." She huffs. She climbed the rest of the stairs, going into one of the rooms and shut the door behind her without another word not giving Snow the time to speak.
