I am writing so many stories right now that I am falling behind on some of them, I am truly sorry about that but I promise I'll do my best.

Gone

Chapter 1

After the whole 'marion' incident in the diner Emma felt horrible. What was she thinking bringing back something from the past. She should have listened to Hook and yes, she should have listened to Rumplestilskin. Crap, did she mess up big time last night.

Regina had stormed out of the diner and was nowhere to be seen. Emma convinced Henry to let Regina have some time alone before he went to check on her the following day, when Emma went downstairs she was met by Snow and Charming making breakfast.

'Henry went to see how Regina is doing' Snow was curt with Emma, she had agreed with Regina, Emma should have thought about the consequences. Snow had made her mistake telling Cora about Daniel when she was a little girl, Emma was a grown woman. She should have realized her actions would have consequences.

Emma sighed deeply while sitting down at the breakfast bar. She would have to talk to Regina, apologize but what would or could she say to the woman who once again had lost it all.

Her phone went off, Emma saw it was Henry and quickly picked up eager to hear what Regina had to say.

'She's gone'

'What..what do you mean gone'

'She packed up her stuff and left, Ma, she left because of what you did' Henry yelled at her.

Emma didn't know how fast she could get to Regina's house. She found Henry sobbing on the front porch. He had a letter in his hand. Emma could see Regina's handwriting on it.

She walked into the house and immediately saw it. Photo's had been taken, small personal items as well. Emma ran upstairs, she opened Regina's closets and she could see a whole bunch of clothes had been taken.

She slowly walked back out, sat herself down next to Henry and wanted to give him a hug but she could tell he wasn't willing to accept any of her comfort.

Henry stood up, let out a very shaky breath and began to walk off.

'Where are you going'

'I am going to find my MOTHER !'Henry said.

Emma got up and followed Henry. 'and how exactly where you planning on doing that'

Henry turned around 'Grandpa Gold'

Emma grabbed Henry who had started to walk away again and turned him around. 'You are not going to do that, sooner or later your grandfather is going to want something in return'

'Oh, thinking about the consequences in the long run, Ma. You sure as hell weren't thinking about them when it concerned my MOTHER !. Henry was furious, just as he had gotten back both of his moms this happened couldn't they ever have a break. He was so made at Emma right now.

'Then I am coming with you' During the entire walk over the Gold's shop not a single word was spoken. Emma knew she had to be careful in dealing with Henry right now.

'Grandpa, I need your help. I need you to find my mom'

Gold looked at Emma with a curious expression on his face.

'Regina is gone, she left and we don't think she is in Story Brook anymore'

Gold went looking for the globe that would provide a clue as to where Regina had gone. They tried everything but nothing happened. Henry's blood, a little piece of clothing from Regina the Globe remained dark.

Henry's demeanor began to fall with each and every failed attempt.

'I am so sorry Henry, she clearly doesn't want to be found. She must have done a cloaking spell so we wouldn't be able to find her'

Gold wanted to comfort the boy, he placed his hand on Henry's shoulder but Henry quickly shrugged it off.

'You just don't want to find her' He screamed.

Henry, in his hurry to leave had dropped the letter Regina had written him. Emma picked it up and began to read.

Dear Henry,

First of all, don't you ever think I left because of you. I would never ever do such a thing but the fact remains I did leave you and for that I know you will never forgive me. I love you to the moon and back my little prince but I had to go so can I breath again. I wouldn't be able to stand and watch my true love with someone else whom he also loves dearly. I don't blame him. I don't think I would have acted it any differently if Daniel would have turned out to be alive.

The fact remains however that both your grandmother and more recently your mother have been the ones to destroy my chance at a good life and because of that I am afraid that I will turn back to my old ways, I decided to leave. You must remember I love you more than life itself and because I don't want you to witness my possible transformation back to the Evil Queen I left. I rather have the memory of you thinking of me as a Hero than the Evil Queen as your last memory of me. I hope you will always remember me as a Hero, it's what I always thrived to be when it came to you.

I love you so much.

Love,

Mom

Emma's heart broke. She had been the reason for Regina's leaving. Henry was going to hate her for the rest of his life.

First thinks first, finding Henry and after that…Emma didn't know.

TBC…
