Outlaw Queen: Forgive Me

Theres a Problem

It was 4 in the morning in Storybrooke and there was a loud continuous banging on the front door of Regina's house. Regina stirred slightly in her bed and and without opening her eyes lightly slapped Robin who was almost falling off the bed. "mmmmm Regina what's wrong my love?" He groaned consumed with sleep his eyes also still clamped shut. "the door Robin.....somebody..is knocking..." Robin rolled over to Regina and wrapped her in his arms and slowly drifted off to sleep not hearing a word she had just said. The banging continued. This time her eyes drifted slightly open. "Robin........" she grumbled sedated in the same amount of sleep as her practically unconscious husband. He didn't stir so Regina groaned and put on her dressing gown and slippers and made her way down the stairs to the front door.

She sighed and tried to smooth down her bed head hair. "Al-right al-right im coming!" She yelled approaching the door. Regina swung open the door and the figure almost fell forward not expecting the door to open so suddenly and widely. "EMMA! What are you doing at my house! So early in the fucking morning! Waking me up!!" Emma straightened herself up and had a look of urgency on her face. "Regina I am so sorry but something serious has happened in the centre of town and you need to come...like...now!" Regina took a moment to drink in the sight before her. Emma was dressed in pyjama shorts and a baggy shirt (Killians no doubt) and like herself had messy hair, so she had obviously only just woken up herself. "What kind of something?" Regina spoke harshly almost too fed up with things going wrong in the town. "we don't know which is why you need come! Everyone is there! Look I can explain on the way." Regina grumbled and shut the door. Moments later she was dressed in jeans and one of Robins T-shirts (if Emma was doing it so was she) and her hair which now was a couple inches beneath her shoulders was brushed and presentable.

It was a warm summers evening so Regina didn't bother with a coat. They began to make their way to the centre of town as Emma hurriedly tried to explain. "There was a massive bang and then smoke everywhere. Mum and Dad were the first ones to get to the source and then Mr Gold and then myself and Killian. Mal is there too now with Lily but none of us know what is going on. Belle has run off to try and find something...but Regina it looks like something has arrived in Storybrooke...." Regina was nodding showing that she understood, "Where's my sister?" "Zeleenas there also she and Gold are the only two who have gone right up to where the explosion was." As she said that they approached to scene and everybody looked relieved to see Regina. "Regina! Come here!" yelled Zeleena who was crouched down with her head looking down into a large hole in the middle of the street.

Regina was now very curious and made her way over and lent over to inspect it with her sister. "What it the world.....what kind of portle leaves a gigantic hole leading to nothing?" said Regina thinking out loud. Just as Zeleena was about to reply Robin came rushing towards them, "Babe! Why didn't you wake me? What's happened." Regina gave him a look that said seriously? But then continued to tell him all that she knew. "It is obviously magic but from where?" questioned Regina. Now everybody had gathered round the circle. "I cant say I recognise it dearie" Offered Gold. They were all stood in silence thinking when a crisp British accent sounded from behind them. "There's no point looking down there you wont see anything. Falling down it would only result in a confusing trip to no where and quite frankly it was a real bitch to create."

They all turned to face the new arrival. It was a slender character, she looked around 18 but Regina could just sense she was younger than her appearance but also felt that this girl was strangely familiar. She was tale and had a beautifully boarder line pale complexion. She had long dark hair which appeared black but under certain spots of the street glow had a lighter tinge to it. Her eyes were a chocolate colour and she was stood wearing a short black skirt, black tights and heels, a beautifully embroidered dark blue corset top and had a Royal blue hooded cloak on.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Asked Emma unsure on whether to be scared or calm. "I'm just here to bring justice to somebody who hurt me." She said in a matter of fact tone, " I've been waiting a long time to do so." Regina although baffled by the strong likeness the girl had with herself was now getting angry. Somebody always wants bloody justice in this town! Regina thought as she stormed up to the girl careful not to get too close.
"Over my dead body!"

"Well that's not really what I had planned but since your offering..." The girl quickly moved forward and shoved her hand into Regina's chest clutching onto her heart but keeping her hand there. "Let her go!" Yelled Robin "Who is it you have a problem with!" Robin ran towards the two. "I'm holding her right...now..!" Regina's eyes flooded in confusion. The girl looked straight into Regina's eyes and smiled, a similar smile to the evil queen. In that moment of distraction Robin managed to pull Regina away leaving the girls shocked and her hand heartless. "I don't even know you!" Yelled Regina.
"Well that's not technically true.." Everybody including Regina suddenly looked even more confused than they were just moments before.
"......is it.....Mum!"
Everybody gasped and Regina stared at the young girl in utter disbelief. The girl smiled and then vanished. "you have a daughter?......." Whispered Robin breaking the silence but then ejecting them all into another one.
