Memories

What now?

{Regina's POV}

"So what do we do now?"

"Are we all in danger?"

"What is she going to do to us?"

These were questions coming from all around me. Ever since I announced our little friend was back everyone has been on panic mode. With Charming and Snow trying to quiet down everyone, I can't help but wonder why I'm not freaking out as well. I mean it's not like she tried to take my life away by traveling back to the past and possibly erase my existence. Or put my son's life in danger even when he had no idea who I was. I guess that is what you call family.

But there is still something I can't quite shake off. It is like there is something my brain is trying to tell me but I can't register it. 

In all the chaos, I wait around for Gold to say something. He is the one that told me about Zelena being back and this town meeting was all his idea. When I don't hear him say anything, I look around for him. After a moment, I notice he isn't even here. Could Zelena have gotten to him again?

"If you will all quiet down, we will answer any questions or address any concerns you may have,"
David said firmly over the crowd.

"I just want to know if we're safe. Let's just say the last time greenie was here, she didn't exactly leave peacefully," said Leroy.

Turning my attention to his statement, I myself start to wonder whether or not we are safe. One by one she took a civilian and turned them into a flying monkey. She took Henry away and nearly killed him. She took baby Neal despite the fact that all of us were there to protect him. She is more powerful than me. Even Gold at one point preferred her over me.

"I can assure you," David stated before I cut him off.

"I don't know," I said.

Everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to me. Some people had surprised looks on their faces. Others seemed to be terrified of what my statement meant. Even Snow and David seemed surprised.

Looking towards David I stand and say, "Can you truly and honestly say that we are safe? Can you honestly say that no harm will come to anyone?"

When I finished, I turned away from David to see the look of everyone's face. There was a look all too familiar to me, fear.

"Look I'm no seer of the future so I'm not going to stand here and fill your head with false hope. Yes we could come out on the winning side and defeat her. But we could also come out on the losing side and, well who knows. What I can assure you is that if she tries to even come near anyone, loved one or acquaintance, I will end her once and for all."

"Marian!" I hear slightly to my left. I turn and see that same man with blue eyes holding a woman, who I must presume is his wife.

Leroy puts his hand on her forehead and says, "Who do we know of with magical powers that can do this?"

Everyone turns their heads towards me once more. I give them all an innocent look and throw my hands up.

"I can do this," I say as I create fireballs on my hands, "but that," I say pointing towards the ice woman, "is something I can proudly not take credit for."

Leroy says, "Of course not her! But Elsa! She's the one that froze my truck."

Everyone starts murmuring in agreement. Some even shaking their heads in agreement. Internally, I'm smiling. They for once think it wasn't me that did something bad.
