The darkness that once flowed through Scarlett's veins is still there. And she knows it. She feels it in her womb. In the heart of one of her children.

She feels it in her own heart. The pain and suffering of her own husband. And it scares her. Knowing she can't rip the heart out of the inflictor of his pain.

" Sis, we already covered this trail. It was cold", Henry says in an attempt to get his sister to take a beat.

" Then we cover it again and we keep going until we find a trail that's hot. Just like when mom would hide the bag of Halloween candy every year", Scarlett says.

" It was always in the attic".

" I knew it wasn't the rats", Regina adds, " There's no sign of Hook in the North Woods".

" Well, we have to keep going. Maybe out by the Troll Bridge", Scarlett says.

" Wait... there may be a way to make our search quicker", The mother says, " In Storybrooke, I have schematics-- maps-- of the whole town. Every last inch of it".

" So you think the equivalent maps of this town are here?", Emma asks.

" Everything else in Bizarro Storbrooke has an analog so far", Regina says.

" I'm on it. You keep working here. I'll go get your intel", Robin says.

" Take Henry with you", Scarlett says.

" It might be dangerous", He says.

" My mother's gone now. The office should be empty. And no one knows it better than Henry. He'll be fine. You'll be there to protect him", Regina says.

The two share a kiss, and then Robin takes off with Henry.

" Scarlett! I found something".

The mother-daughter duo run towards the sound of the crying Swan, only to see blood splattered on a leaf.

" I-Is it...", Scarlett starts.

" There's a trail of it. It's not dry yet. It's fresh", Emma says.

" Killian!".

Scarlett continues to shout his name, following the trail of blood. But her husband is not what she finds. She finds a scared girl.

" Not Killian, but I know him", The girl says.

" Who are you? Where's Killian?", Scarlett asks as she helps her up.

Just then, the roar of the three-headed beast fills their ears.

" We have to get out of here".

" What the hell is that?", Regina asks.

" It's coming. Hide me. We have to go-- now!", The girl shouts.

Emma then uses her powers to transport them to the apartment.

" Your parents' apartment? Really?", Regina asks.

" It's the first place I thought of", Emma says as she takes the covers off the bed, " Here, lie down".

" What if whoever-- or whatever-- lives here, you know, comes home?", Regina asks.

" I don't think we have to worry about that", Emma says.

She holds a picture of both Snow and David.

" So this place is just waiting for your parents to die so they can move in?", Regina asks.

" Creepy, but that seems to be the case", Emma says.

" I-I need some tea", Scarlett says.

" No. You. Sit. I'll make the tea", Regina says, " If you think you gave me an easy pregnancy, you're wrong".

" It's officially a cold day in hell when I move in with the Charmings", Scarlett says as she puts her feet up.

" Are you okay?", Emma asks the girl.

" I will be", She responds.

" And Killian?", Scarlett asks.

" I... I don't know", The girl says.

" What do you mean you don't know?", Scarlett asks as she stands up, " Where is he?".

" In an underground prison. I escaped through a tunnel. They let out in a cave somewhere in the woods, and... and the next thing I knew, you found me".

" Where is the cave? Could you find it again?".

" Yes... but it's being guarded by something... terrible".

" What's guarding the cave?".

" It has three heads... Its teeth... can crush your bones with a single bite. And its eyes... they burn right into your soul as it finishes you off".

" I've had enough of this".

Scarlett places her hands on the girls head, using her magic to seep into her memories.

Scarlett sees the cave.

She sees the three-headed beast.

But then...

She sees Killian.

Hurt and in pain.

Crying in agony as it wards off the beast.

Scarlett gasps as her eyes open wide. She stumbles back, breathing heavily as Emma and Regina rush towards her.

----

The plan is simple. Snow found Hercules down by the docks. She knows she can defeat the beast.

Hercules, Snow, Regina, Emma and Scarlett are in the cave. His famous sword in hand, but Hercules is still nervous.

" Don't tell me the God is nervous", Scarlett quips.

" Demi-god", Snow says.

" You sure you can do this, wonder-boy?", Regina asks.

" Regina!", Snow exclaims, " I know you can do this".

" We'll find your friend. Don't worry. Wait for me here", Hercules says as he marches off deeper into the tunnel.

" I know I'm married and all, but...", Scarlett starts.

" Yum?", Emma asks.

" Yummy", Scarlett says.

" I don't need to be brought back to your teenage years", Regina groans.

" Oh come on, mom. Even you admitted that Prince Harry is hot".

But, the fun is haulted when Hercules comes back running. The beast continues down the tunnel, but stops at the sound of a whistle.

" What the hell was that?", Regina asks.

Scarlett knows the sound all too well. She takes a deep breath with her response.

" Hades".

" I called them off".

The God of the Underworld himself walks down the tracks, his shoes echoing against the walls.

" Don't look so surprised, Regina. Who do you think was in charge of this place? Your mommy?".

" Well, if this is your realm, maybe you can answer a few questions. Like why does this hell-hole look like Storybrooke?", Regina asks.

" I have my reasons and I don't have to share them with you", Hades says.

" Leave them alone, Uncle", The demi-god says.

" There's that famous courage people love to talk about. Oh, Hercules, did you really think you could face Cerberus again?", The god asks.

" Again?", Snow asks.

" {gasps} You mean, he didn't tell you?".

" Cerberus killed you?", She asks,

" I couldn't let you down, Snow", Hercules says.

" Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of, nephew. After all, losing your life to my little pet is what finally brought us together as a family", Hades says.

" We're not afraid of you", Snow says.

" Ohh. Snow White. Or is it Mary Margaret? By nephew said you were a spitfire, but trust me, you should be quite afraid of me because the next time you interfere with my family, I will come after yours", He says.

" Enough of this, hot-head. You know for a god damn fact that I'm not leaving this place without my husband", Scarlett says as she steps forward.

" Oh, honey. Since your pirate likes to send messages, I told him I would deliver this one personally".

He then holds up Killian's blood-soaked hook, making Scarlett's eyes widen.

" What the hell did you do to him?", She asks.

" It's not what I've already done you should worry about now. It's what I'm about to do", Hades says, then leans in to whisper in her ear, " And trust me, this is not going to end like last time".

As he disappears, the hook clatters onto the floor.

----

In the end, Cerberus was defeated. Hercules and Megara were sent off to Mount Olympus. Almost a happy ending for everyone.

Scarlett sits alone in the graveyard, hands on her stomach, tears in her eyes. Her mother sees this, and pain strikes her heart.

" What's wrong, sweetie?", Regina asks.

As soon as her eyes land on the gravestone, she understands. She gets on her knees, bringing her daughter into his embrace. Regina kisses the top of Scarlett's head, and then rests her chin on hers.

" He's still here, mom. He's still here".

But the gravestone is not for her husband.

The grave stone does not say Killian Jones.

It says Marcello Collins.
