OUAT : Regina's Sacrifice

Back from the past

Regina's P.O.V.

I just stood there, not feeling anything but hope and happiness, slip away. As I watched the scene play out in front of me. I watched as Robin hugged his supposed-to-be dead wife. Marian.

I couldn't take this anymore. I turn on my heels and bolted out of the diner. Hoping no one, especially a certain blonde savior, follows me. But of course, with the luck am having. The diner door swings open, signaling someone has followed. "Regina, wait. We need to talk about this — " Emma said. " Not now, miss. Swan. " I replied. As I marched my way down the sidewalk. " Wait ." She said. As she grasped my left arm to pull me to a stop. " What now, miss? Swan? Haven't you done enough?" I remarked. " Look, I'm sorry, I -I never wanted to hurt you... But I couldn't just let her die. If I didn't you -- you would have --- "

"Have What? Spit it out already .." I shouted. A pained look wash over her features. " You would have killed.. her. " She whispered. A dreadful feeling washed over me at this. It was me... I - I killed Marian in the past ... or more like suppose to be past now. Oh my god, if Robin were to find out he'll hate me or worse resent me. And I couldn't live with that. " I ... I have to go -" I said. 

Turning to leave for good. But the diner door swings open and out walks Robin, Roland, and Marian.

Oh Great ... Wait what if she already told him.

Robin approached Emma and Me. With his electric blue eyes, full of sadness and pain written in his features. I can't do this-- " Regina, I'm sorry... I -I --"

"It's fine, Robin really," I mumbled. As I strolled past him to Marian. Who looked afraid of what I might do as I got closer. And who would blame her? I am the Evil queen after all. I stuck out my hand for her to take, which she did with little hesitation. "Welcome to Storybrooke, Marian," I told her. With a small smile, I think she knows it wasn't real. Even I wouldn't believe it.

I started walking back down the sidewalk. when I was stopped by a warm hand on my left shoulder. As I turned, I was met with those amazing electric blue eyes. Of my soulmate looking like a lost puppy. " Regina, don't you think we need to talk about th--."

"No, I mean ..... Look Robin. Marian is back. And I understand. It's like you said earlier that you'd walk through hell to bring her back. She's here, and you can be with her. like you said. And I'll be Okay.!" I replied. With what I hope to be a believable smile. As I walked away this time, the thing that stopped me wasn't his hand. But it was his words. " But, Regina this isn't what I wanted." he groaned. As he strolled up to me. " But... it's what you got. " I muttered to myself. " Look I just ... I just want you to be happy. And if that means you with Marian. I understand I'm a big girl, and I can take care of myself. So don't worry about me, okay..." I said. As I look up into his blue eyes. 

That is glazed over with tears. Which made my eyes stung with tears. But I did my best to hold them back. I won't cry. Not here.

He was speechless to say the less.

When I turn to leave this time to head home. (And bear cave myself in my mansion). I noticed that most of the people that were at the party. Was now outside and just as speechless as Robin. Which includes the uncharmings, the merry man, guyliner Aka Hook. And my one true love, Henry. I gave him a little smile. 

Before I snapped at the others. 

"What..?"
