A/N 1: Some possible triggers!

*Flashback*

The only time Regina was ever afraid was when her mother was involved. The fear started when Regina was just ten years old. She had been playing with some of the children in the village. Her mother had warned her about doing so, claiming they were filthy peasants, but Regina was a stubborn child.

Cora hated that Regina refused to cooperate with her. The Queen of Hearts had only used magic on Regina one time, and Henry had been so angry. He had threatened to banish her if she ever did it again. Now, though, Cora was in control of her husband, and was determined to be with her daughter as well.

"Where have you been?" Cora asks in an icy tone when the young girl enters the home.

"In the stables." The lie flows easily from Regina's lips. She had a lot of experience lying to her mother.

"You foolish girl! Tell the truth!" Cora exclaims. "I was at the stables and you were not there!"

"Y-you never go to the stables, mother." Regina gasps. Suddenly Regina is choking and her feet are being lifted off the ground. "Stop! Please!"

"Not until you learn your lesson." Cora insists. "Fear is a very effective tool, my dear, and I intend to use it until you are blue in the face."

Regina begins squirms around as if trying to free herself. She just wanted this to stop. Cora is grinning as if she is pleased to see her daughter struggle. Regina decides to just give in. Maybe if she told Cora the truth her mother would let her go,

"I was playing with my friends." Regina manages to get out.

"Those filthy street rats are not your friends!" Cora screams. She lowers Regina, but the young girl knows her punishment is not over. "You will stay away from them."

"But mother I have no one-" Cora cuts Regina off by bounding her again.

"Do not argue with me." Cora growls.

Regina suddenly feels a burning sensation on her upper lip. She can't move to stop it and it hurts worse than the choking had. The brunette yells and cries. She begs for her mother to stop. After what seems like forever Cora lowers her hand, and the pain subsides. The bounds wrapped across Regina's body break. She traces her finger along the spot where her skin used to be so smooth.

"There...now you will remember what happens when lie to me." Cora's voice is still cold as ice. "The scar on your lip even makes you look like a peasant."

Regina begins to sob and run into the house. So much for the truth setting her free. It only made Cora angrier. Regina realizes telling the truth made her weaker and it gave Cora power over her. She vows that she will never let anyone make her feel this way again, and her new scar would help remind her of that. She'd always remember to be strong.

12:

Emma was completely frantic. Nobody could bring her any comfort. The only person that could ease Emma's worrying was missing. Not even Snow and David knew what to do.

Henry, on the other hand, didn't know that Regina was missing. The family had sent him with Ruby until they had found more information. Worrying Henry would do no good for anyone, especially with Emma in her current state.

The savior had also turned on Neal. She was so angry and so upset, she blamed him for it. She said it was his fault for bringing Tamara here in the first place. There was no reasoning with Emma on this, not without Regina there.

"David….what if Regina is...w-what if she's dead?" Snow asks in a whisper.

"She's not." Emma states coming into the room. "I would feel it. She's still alive."

Snow and David share a surprised look. Emma had been in her and Regina's room all morning. She had said she just needed to think and had locked herself away. Her parents had been sitting the kitchen of the mansion also trying to figure out a plan. Emma had barely said a word to them since they'd gotten back.

"I need to find her." Emma's strong voice is back and filled with determination. "I'm going to see Gold."

"We're coming too." David tells his daughter. "Whether you want it or not, you need support, Emma."

"Fine." Emma caves easier than they'd expected. "But, we need to get moving."

The Charmings and their daughter make their way to the pawn shop. It eases Snow and David to see Neal there. Gold would cooperate better if his son was around. Emma however is angry to see her ex. She didn't think she needed his help and she surely didn't want him around. Then again, she needed to find Regina. If Neal could convince his father to help them, maybe she should just let him help.

"Gold. I need your assistance." Emma announces.

"So I hear." The dark one replies. "Your Queen is missing."

"Yes, and I believe she's in grave danger." Emma tells the old man.

"Well...perhaps we could strike a deal-" Neal cuts his father off before he can finish whatever offer he's about to make.

"No. No deals." Neal insists. "You're going to help her with absolutely no strings attached."

Rumple looks at his son in surprise. Neal wasn't going to budge, that was obvious. Rumple didn't seem to have a choice. If he wanted another chance with his son he had to agree. He nods.

"Alright." The old man finally answers. Everyone watches as he rummages in the cabinet before pulling out a small vile. "These are Regina's tears. Drop them in your eye and your senses will be connected with hers."

"Why do you have her tears?" Emma's voice is threatening. "How did you get them!?"

"Emma, we don't have time for this." Snow reminds the blonde gently.

Emma gives a final glare at Rumple before leaving. She'd deal with him later. For now she needed to focus on finding her fiancee. That was the only thing Emma cared about.

When they return to the mansion, Snow asks Emma to let her use the drops. She reasons that Emma needed to keep all her senses straight so they could find Regina. Emma realizes that this is something her mother felt she needed to do so Emma agrees. They were going to find the Queen.

The sound of footsteps is heard again. Regina flinches. She knew this time Greg was going to finish the job. He was going to kill her. Regina had refused to answer Greg's questions about his father, and Greg had grown impatient.

"I'm going to give you one more chance." Greg's voice says. "Where. Is. My. Father?"

Regina figures she isn't getting out of this. There was no way Emma could track this back to Greg and come find her. No matter what she told this maniac he would believe what he wanted. He would never believe the truth-that Regina had let Kurt go. The mayor had released him from prison, but wouldn't allow him to leave town. The poor man went insane and ended his own life. Owen-Greg-would never accept the truth, however, so Regina knew she had to tell him what he thought to be true.

"I killed him years ago." Regina lies through her teeth.

"No!" Greg screams. Even if that's what he thought, he was going to react badly. He was crazy, there was no reasoning with this man.

"His body is at your old campsite." That part was true. Regina was the one who had found the body, and she had never bothered to disposed of it. At the time she didn't care.

Greg begins to yell again and hits a button on the machine that Regina is hooked up to. Electric shock runs through the former Queen's body. It was the worst pain she had ever felt. Regina hollers out at the excruciating pain. Greg laughs, finally feeling like he was avenging his father.

"So you can feel pain." Greg sounds both shocked and pleased at this revelation.

As much as Regina wants to appear strong, she can't. It hurt too much and she was completely terrified. Emma and Henry's faces dance through her mind. She realizes suddenly that she will never see them again. She'll never hear their laughs or watch them fight over onion rings. She won't live to marry Emma or watch Henry find love. She won't get to tell them she loves them ever again. That realization hurt worse than the electrocution.

"Greg! They found us!" Tamara's voice exclaims suddenly. "Leave her! We have to get out of here!"

"I'll meet you at the spot." Greg answers. "This needs to be finished."

Tamara doesn't argue, and instead flees from the cannery. Greg was going to watch as the life left Regina's. He gives her one last sinister grin before setting the voltage to it's highest setting. This was it. This was the end.

"Long live the Evil Queen." Greg's final words are sarcastic as he hits button one last time.

"Stop!" Regina can't tell if Emma's voice is real or if she's imagining it.

There's suddenly a loud bang, like a gunshot, and the electricity stops. Despite the source being detained, the pain is still evident in Regina's body. She can't move. She is barely aware of David unstrapping her and lifting her off the table.

"We have to get blue!" Snow's voice is the last thing Regina remembers hearing before she slips into the unconsciousness.

Blue had removed the cuff and had seemed optimistic about Regina's recovery. Emma, however, refused to leave her fiancees side. All the blonde wanted was for Regina to open her eyes and be okay again.

"Hey." Snow whispers stepping into the room. "No change?"

"Not yet." Emma sighs sadly.

Snow sits down beside her daughter, hoping to provide some comfort. To Snow's surprise, Emma lays her head on her shoulder. They sit in a comfortable silence for a few minutes. Snow is afraid to ruin the moment by talking.

"Tell me a story about her." Emma requests suddenly. "From before."

Snow has to think for a moment. There were many things she could tell Emma-both good and bad. She knew her daughter needed a story that would give her hope.

"I didn't know she hated me until after my father had died." Snow begins. "I used to follow Regina around like a lost little puppy, and she never tried to stop me."

"She didn't have a choice." Emma points out. Snow chuckles a little.

"Oh true, but she went to extreme measures to spend time with me." Snow explains. "There was one time when I was very ill. My father had stayed away because we could have all of our royals bed ridden. I had expected to be cared for by a healer, but Regina refused to leave me in the hands of some stranger. She stayed by my bedside and cared for me herself."

"Wasn't she worried she'd catch whatever you had?" Emma wonders.

"No, but she should have." Snow smiles a little at the memory of her step mother. "We both ended up stuck in bed for nearly two weeks."

Emma grins. Regina had been there for Snow in the best way possible. Even if it was tainted she had given Snow love when she was ill and needed comfort. Even if Regina never would have admitted it until recently, she had always cared for her step daughter.

"She's going to pull through, Emma." Snow tells her daughter confidently. "She is far too stubborn not to."

Emma nods and allows her mother to hug her. She had to believe Snow's words. Regina was strong and had so much to live for. She just needed to open her eyes and see for herself.

Regina had been out for forty eight hours. Emma had only left her side when it was absolutely necessary. Henry, however, had only been in a few times. They had all tried to distract him from this, knowing Regina would hate for her son to see her like this. She would want to shield him from it.

It was early in the morning. Probably close to seven o'clock. Emma had just returned from getting some coffee from the kitchen. She nearly drops her mug when she returns to the room.

"Regina!" She almost cries when she see her fiancee sitting up in bed, completely awake.

"W-where am I?" Regina sounds terrified. "Where is D-Daniel?"

"Daniel?" Emma's heart stops at the name of Regina's first love. This could not be happening.

"Yes, my fiancee we're supposed to run away and get married!" Regina cries.

Emma is at a loss for words. Regina doesn't remember her. She thought she was still with Daniel. Emma realizes Emma must not even remember being the Evil Queen or anything after that either.

"What's going on?" Regina asks, breaking Emma from her thoughts.

"Y-You lost your memory." Emma tries to explain. "There was a...it was...something happened to you. And...I was so afraid." Emma feels tears fall down her cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry….but who are you?"
