The New Queen Of Darkness

Chapter 8

Mary Margaret gasped when she realized she really put her foot in her mouth this time. She saw how angry Emma was. Just like when she confronted them the other day. She was extremely furious with her, very much so. She noticed Regina glaring at her like she did when she was the Evil Queen. She could see the anger and resentment in her eyes. Regina looked like she wanted to squash her. Maleficent looked like she was about to devour her on the spot and was barely restraining herself from taking action. Her eyes were glowing and she had a feral smile on her face which was matched by Emma at the moment. The remaining two Queens of Darkness were just smiling at her like wolves basically. Waiting to be given permission to destroy her. Mary Margaret swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. She'd dug a grave for herself. Her eyes widened in shock and fear as she started backing up, wanting to get out of there.

Before Mary Margaret could leave, Ruby stopped her cold. The look in her eyes were cold and hard. The woman who was supposed to be Mary Margaret's best friend was gone. Replaced with one very angry wolf girl. The tall brunette with the famous red streaks in her hair regarded Snow White with a cold calloused look. "Really Snow? Is that what you think of people who are not as pure as you are? At least by your own standards... You're not who I thought you were." Her voice was like ice sliding down Mary Margaret's back.

"Ruby please! This isn't about you. Look at them! They're mon..." Mary Margaret started.

"Monsters?" Ruby gave her a very dark look. "Like me? Well if that's the way you see it... You can forget about being my friend. I would much rather be their friend than yours. You forget, Snow. I still remember when there was a time before I realized who, what I really am... When my wolf was out there terrorizing the town, what you called her. A monster. You saw me when I killed my friend. You're such a hypocrite. I want nothing to do with you ever again." She snarled, her eyes glowing.

Mary Margaret had tears falling down her cheeks as she shook her head. "Ruby please..."

Granny stepped up. "Leave!" She pointed at the door. She finally realized everything her granddaughter said made so much sense after the way Snow treated Maleficent and the others. They weren't so different from each other. "GET OUT NOW!" She grabbed her crossbow to make a point that Snow was no longer welcome.

Mary Margaret looked around at the other people there, wondering if they all felt the same way. Most of them looked away, not wanting to look at her. Leroy walked out of the diner along with two other dwarves. The dwarves would always remain loyal to Snow, no matter what.

Regina sneered at her. "That's it. Take your dwarves and get out! Just remember, this isn't over. This is war!" The Evil Queen persona was back.

Emma spoke up, her eyes black. "I'm going to get my sister back. When I do, you're going to get what's coming to you. My family and I will not rest until we've taken you down, you're not getting away with what you did to us." She promised.

Maleficent had an evil smile on her face as she used magic to put a special cuff on Snow's wrist. One she would never be able to remove. "I only care about one thing. Your pain, and that it be as long and terrible and unyielding as my own. The pain you caused." She smirked. "And now we will always know where you are. You won't be able to hide from us." She laughed as she watched her run out of there.

David looked at the women there. "I... I'm sorry." He left with his wife and Neal.

Ursula laughed. "That was fun to watch. I look forward to seeing what she does next."

Cruella smirked. "That's a party I won't want to miss."

Ruby was beginning to understand why they were the way they were. She didn't blame them for feeling that way about Snow. She knew there was no way she would be able to forgive her for what happened, knowing what she put Emma and her family through. She looked at Granny who went back to work. Her granny told her to take the rest of the day off. Ruby thanked her and joined them,pulling up a chair and sitting next to them. "I'm really sorry for what happened to you all."
