Chemistry is Cruel

~Ten~

~Regina's POV~

How to get away with murder? How am I, Regina Mills, is going to get away with murder? Or do I want to murder them? Do you? Maybe death is too good for them. They should feel Henry's pain!

"Henry....that poor baby boy didn't deserve that. He never deserved this life."

And they don't deserve to get away with it right? You don't need Emma's help.

"I don't need Emma's help," I agree. I can do this. I can and I want. Emma probably knows how to get away with and she thinks I won't do it deep down. She doesn't believe me, I can tell. Or maybe I'm just crazy like she said. Then again, she never actually said I was crazy.....

"Reg! Who are you talking to?!"

"Nobody!" I call back to my sister. Man I have been blacking out recently. I don't even remember opening the door, let alone, walking from the car to my house. WHAT THE HELL?!

I hunt down my sister to find her in the living room cuddled up with her boyfriend. It makes me miss Emma already. They're cute together but Emma and I are far cuter.

"Hey Regina," he salutes. I just wave and glare at my sister.

"Where's mom and dad?" I ask her. She shrugs at me like she doesn't know, like I'm supposed to know.

"Come on Reg. It's Sunday? Date night?"

"Shit, I forgot. I could've stayed where I was at." I groan.

I only rushed here because it's a school night and I wanted to make dinner so that I didn't have to hear my mom's mouth. I could've spent the even with my family. I also could've met Emma's mother today. She has to take him back still but she is keeping him. There's a whole process she has to go through to get him back. First she has to be evaluated by social services to see if she qualified and capable to provide for Henry. She's more than qualified for it actually. When they see where she lives, everything should be fine.

Henry, on the other hand, wasn't too excited about going back. He was even more upset about the fact I had to leave and I couldn't come with them. That's when we realized how complicated this really is. I'm 16 with a strict mother. I can't see him as often as I want too. So Emma advised that we do our detentions during linch instead and then I can go back home to see Henry for the two hours after school. It works but then there's also the fact that Henry is 6. He doesn't understand the situation and he doesn't know that this whole thing has to be a secret.

"You okay sis?" I smile at zelena's concern. She can tell I'm deep in my head. Instead of venting about what I'm thinking about( because I don't trust her with my secrets) I change the subject altogether.

"What do you know about the Gold's?"

"Ha! That they're richer than us," she shrugs, shifting against Robin. He actually gets deep into the conversation.

"They're a bunch of criminals Regina. If you are thinking about getting involved with them in any way. Don't!" Bingo! Robin sure does know alot doesn't he? Of course he would, his dad's a cop.

"Really babe? What can a bunch of old geezers do?"

"Well for one they own a huge gang of thugs. They foster kids as their cover up story." Here comes the good part!

"So you're saying that they use children to cover their asses?" I ask. Robin shakes his head.

"Not only that, but they abuse them as well. They have two sons, Neal and Gideon. Neal is the oldest and he took on fostering kids too and he also abused them but money couldn't save his ass when he got caught.....not at first anyways...."
