What If? (Outlaw Queen fanfic)

Chapter 4

"You're not dead because I just saved your life!  Now why were you fixing to kill yourself?" the green fairy asked as she sat Robin down on his feet even though she already knew the answer.

"How do you know I was fixing to kill myself?  Wait, that's a stupid question, isn't it?  I mean you just saved my life and I don't even know you!  Oh, wait, I haven't even thanked you properly!" He took the fairy's hand and kissed it.  "Thank you m'lady."  The fairy just smiled in return.

"You are quite welcome Robin Hood!  My name is Tinkerbell!  I have come to tell you that your happy ending is possible and that you don't need to kill yourself because you can love again!"

"I don't know, Tinkerbell.  I loved my Marian very much.  I'm not sure if I can ever love anyone as much as I loved her."  Tinkerbell smiled.

"Actually, I believe that you can love a certain someone even more than Marian, your soulmate!"

"But my soulmate was Marian!  I could never love anyone more than her!"

"Marian wasn't your soulmate actually.  Believe me!  After all, I did just save your life!"  Robin stared at her and then gave an evil look.

"You might have saved me, but I don't recall asking you to.  I also didn't ask you to tell me that I could love someone more than my Marian!  I would never betray Marian!  Just leave me alone!  You just ruined my chance of being with her after all."  Robin turned around and began to walk away.  Tinkerbell appeared in front of him.

"Robin, I know you were thinking that love is still possible while you were falling.  You may not have called for my help, but your heart did.  Marian wasn't your soulmate.  You may have loved her a lot, but there is someone that you are destined to be with.  Don't you think Marian would want you to at least try to live a happy life with someone else?  She wouldn't want you to live in hatred of the Dark One for the rest of your life."  Robin looked in Tink's eyes.

"So, who is this woman I am destined to be with?"  Tink smiled very big.

"I'm glad you asked!  Follow me!"  Tinkerbell led them to a tavern and used her pixie dust to show Robin the woman he was destined to be with.  "There she is!  The woman with the feather tattoo.  Go to her Robin and have your happy ending!  I must go now.  I'm not supposed to be here, but you needed my help!"  Tinkerbell left Robin alone staring through the door's glass window.

He saw only the back of her and the feather that was tattooed on her wrist.  "Should I go in?" he thought to himself,"Tinkerbell told me she was my soulmate.  What if she doesn't like me?  What if I don't even like her?"  He was about to open the door until he thought that it wasn't a good idea because he couldn't betray Marian.  Even if the woman was to be his soulmate.  Before he could walk away though, the woman turned around just enough for him to see her face.  "Wow she's beautiful!" 

He thought about going in again, but then he thought that a beautiful woman like her wouldn't want to be with a man like himself.  He walked away and went back to his castle.  

He went to another room because he didn't want to go back to the room with Queen Annalise.  He climbed into the bed and cried himself to sleep thinking about Marian and also thinking a little about the woman with the feather tattoo.  He thought just for a second that maybe he made the wrong choice and that he should try to find her.  Then he thought against it.

Weeks and then months went by and Robin was going to every little village there was in his kingdom and asked them if they knew the whereabouts of the Dark One.  When they didn't know or acted like they didn't know, Robin would pick a few people form the village and slit their throats.  He warned all of them that if they didn't find Rumplestiltskin for him, there would be no one left in the villages.

Robin also began to hate the woman he was married to even more.  He couldn't even stand to be in the same room as her.  In fact, she even hated to be in the same room as him.  

One day when Robin was alone in another bedroom that no one used, a puff of smoke appeared.  Robin knew just who it was and he grabbed a knife off of the table that was next to him.  "Hello, dearie!  I heard you've been looking for me!"

"You better talk and talk quick before I slit your throat!"

"Someone has a temper.  I told you that you can't blame me for your wrong doing.  You were the one who agreed to the deal, not me.  I told you that something of yours would be destroyed and you said you didn't have anything of value.  So I took you at your own words and destroyed a couple of things that you must not have realized was dear to your heart!"

"I loved Marian!  You tricked me!  I thought you meant an object!"

"But, I didn't!  Anyway, I came here to make you a proposition!  Do you remember the woman I wanted you to steal from?  Of course you do!  Well, she has a daughter.  I think she has the potential to become very evil.  I need her to cast a curse!  The problem is she ran away from her mother the same night you tried to steal from Cora.  You see, her mother kind of killed the man she was in love with right in front of her because she wanted her to marry a king.  This is why I think she has the potential to become very angry."

"What do you need me for?"

"I need you to go find this woman.  Her name is Regina."

"What do I get in return?"  The Dark One laughed.

"Well, I can see that you really don't life your wife very much!  So here is this poison that will kill her.  No one will suspect that the king will have killed her.  It will look as if she died of a heart attack!"  he laughed,"I will also help you kill the woman you were supposed to steal from!"

"Why would I want her dead?  I'm the one who stole from her!"

"Yes but I don't quite like her and if she wouldn't have come into the house you and your friend would have gotten away and you would still have your precious Marian, right?  Of course I'm right!  I'm always right!  So do we have a deal?"  Robin was actually very pleased with this deal.  This time he was going to find this woman named Regina and he would somewhat get revenge for his wife's death.

"Yes."

"Oh goodie!  Here is the poison for your wife and here is a map to help you find Regina!  It is magical so it will follow her every movements and yours so you will know exactly where she is!"  He handed him the map and disappeared in the same smoke he had arrived in.

Robin stared at the poison and smiled.  He went down to the kitchen and made a glass of wine for him and then another glass for his wife and put the poison in it.  He carried the two glasses up to his wife's room.  "My queen!  I have brought you a glass of wine.  I thought we could have  a little alone time with it in our systems!"  She smirked at him and took the glass.  She took a sip of the wine after they clinked each others glasses together and then passed out on the bed dropping the wine.  Robin stared at her and felt no guilt for killing his wife.  He didn't love her and he was really only her boy toy. 

Robin pulled the map out of his pocket and looked at where he was and where Regina was.  "I will find you and I will get my revenge on Marian's death!"

LOOKS LIKE ROBIN DID THE SAME THING REGINA DID AND DIDN'T GO INTO THE TAVERN.  HE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT HE IS FIXING TO MEET HER AGAIN THOUGH! MAYBE HE WONT GO ALONG WITH THE DARK ONES PLAN, AND MAYBE HE WILL! HOPE YOU LIKED THIS CHAPTER! -Kaitlyn
