1.28 Heart-To-Heart

Next day. Morning. At Snow's.

Snow wasn't talking to me. She's disappointed.

 I didn't tell anyone the truth about me being allegedly Cora's daughter. And I wasn't planning on doing so. 

Emma looked at me.

Henry asked confused "what is going on here?"

Emma "do you want me to tell him or should i?"

Henry asked even more confused  "what are you talking about?"

I shot her a look before looking at Henry "Henry"

He looked at me.

Me "Remember the pages i gave you? The one i had ripped out of the book?"

He nodded .

Me "you read them, didn't you?"

He nodded "Yeah"

Me "What i couldn't do back then to save my mother.....,well, i did it last night,.... to save Mr. Gold"

He froze "what?"

I nodded " a life for a life, Henry"

He shook his head "no, you didn't. "

Emma "she was trying to protect us"

Henry looked at me with wide eyes.

Me "Henry, you read what she put me through, you read everything she did to me. I had no choice"

Suddenly the door bell rang.

Charming opened it. 

Mr. Gold was standing there .

Charming "get out"

Gold "i think you're gonna want to hear what i have to say"

Then he looked at me, talking to Charming  "For her sake"

Emma asked confused  "What are you talking about?"

Gold looked at her "Regina. She's planning to strike back against your aunt "

Everyone looked at me shocked.

Henry "what is she gonna do to her?"

Gold "Well, she didn't say"

Charming shook his head "no. you don't get to come in here and just drop a bomb like that. You gonna figure this out. And you're gonna help us"

Me "David!"

Gold smiled  "and why should i?"

David "because, aside from us being family now, and Echo saved your life. Now you owe her a debt. And you always pay your debts, don't you? you're gonna help us stop , Regina"

--------

Gold and David just got back from Regina's vault. They found some things that are little bit scary.

Gold "We found ingredients for a curse"

Me "which curse?"

Gold " The curse of the Empty-Hearted"

I froze.

Emma asked confused "what the hell does that do?"

Gold "in theory, is has the power to make someone love you ."

Emma asked confused  "doesn't that beak magic laws? you an't bring someone back to life. You can't force someone to love you"

Gold nodded "yeah but this particular spell can make someone think that they love you. And if you're as desperate for love as Regina appears to be, you might just believe it"
