Regina's Rose

Falling for the Enemy

Hey guys this is a time jump to after Graham's death. Just to let you know where we are.

Quartz's POV
I was painting a new section of the wall in the street art gallery. My mom and I have been fighting a lot lately about me liking Emma. So I decided to paint my powers, specifically my ring of Guilt because that's all I ever feel. Guilty for trapping people in this town, for lying to Emma about it, and the guilt of disappointing my mom by liking the saviour.

As I was doing the finishing touches Emma walked in and silently watched as I finished up. "Hey Sheriff, what brings you here." I say as I get down off the step stool I was on.

"Henry told me I had to check out your gallery and I was on break so." Emma and I are talking, nothing official, but I hope someday it will be.

"You don't have to use Dani as an excuse to see me Swan." I say as walk up to her and grab her hand. "Come on, I'll take you on the official tour."

I finish the tour of all the "town made" art and lead Emma back to the center of the gallery.

"You expect me to believe that everyone in town is this good at art." She said still looking around.

"I expect my mother to believe that not you." I say with a mischievous grin.

"Well your an amazing artist, Quartz. Now I gotta get back to the sheriff station before your mom comes looking for me." Emma tries to rush off but I pull her back and place a kiss on her cheek earning a shocked look from the Swan.

"Now go save the town, Swan." After she recovers from the kiss she leaves, I love her surprised face, it's so cute. I close up and decided to go visit my mom before heading home, I walk into her office and she looks pissed at whatever she has in her hand.

"Mom, what's - "

" You KISSED Emma!" I realize what she has in her hand is a picture probably from Sidney and I start to think that I should have just gone home.

I was sitting in Mary-Margret's apartment with Emma and Henry and he's talking about the story book, per usual.

"Please Henry, the Killer Princess isn't Quartz, that girl is a monster." This gave me pause, Emma thought I was a monster.

"Why do you think she's a monster, do you even know the facts?" I questioned trying not to sound hurt. She couldn't see me weak.

" I do, the girl killed her father and then moved in with the evil queen willingly, and helped her hurt Snow White."

"Emma I don't think you-"

"I know enough, the girls a monster, I mean who kills there only family." After she said that I snapped.

" How would you know how she feels, you don't even have a family." I said as I walked out the apartment and straight to my mother's house. I felt bad for what I said but I couldn't be weak.

There is only one person who has seen me weak, and even though we're fighting right now. I need her. I walk into my mom's house and practically rip off my magic cuff. It's hard to think when I have it on.

"Has the love sick princess come to apologize so soon." My mother said, my powers were really bright so she knew Henry wasn't with me. I couldn't bring myself to say anything I was hurt by the Swan.

When I turned the corner my mother was facing me while she sat on the couch, her expression went from smug to concerned.

A single tear fell from my eye, "She thinks I'm a monster." I said quietly trying to hold back the tears. My mother opened her arms to me and I walked to the couch to hug her. I was now balling in my mother's arms like a love sick teenager and I didn't care. I was crushed.

Regina's POV
Rose was unconsolable. She used to never care when people called her a monster but Ms.Swan has hurt her and I want that lady out of my town. Usually she wonders what her powers look like when she's sad but she never made a move to pull out her mirror, she didn't care. I had never seen her powers like that. It looked like a bomb that was frozen while it was going off and then it blew up when I opened my arms to her. The bomb slowly cascaded down till she was in her usual dripping scribbles that signify her sadness.

"What does Ms.Swan know, she's just a clueless girl from Boston." After I said that Rose sat up and looked at me with a tear stained face.

"Your right mother, she knows nothing, now let's get this woman out of our town." She smiled at me with mischief in her eyes. Ever since I woke her up from the curse I was wondering if I'd ever see her like I did in the enchanted forest, and here she was, my Rose. Ready to get her revenge on Emma for playing with her heart. I know that Rose won't kill, she's hasn't killed since her father but I would do anything for my children. Even if that meant doing what she couldn't.

Sorry it's a short chapter. I'll try to make it longer next chapter. Also I don't plan on doing any flashbacks until after the curse is broken so hold tight.
