Outlaw Queen: Forgive Me

Who is She?

"You have a daughter??" asked Robin as they both walked through their front door. It was now 5:30 am and after the shock announcement from the girl they all agreed it best for them all to rest for a bit and meet and Granny's for lunch, and to discuss what to do.

"Robin I have never met her before in my life."

Regina looked like she was on the brink of tears. Robin engulfed her into a hug and pulled her over to the sofa and they sat tangled in each other, Regina's face hidden on his chest.

Robin smiled slightly, "She did look.....a little....like you...."

"I know!" Regina exclaimed still buried in his arms. "But I just don't understand! I think I would remember having a child!"

They sat in silence for a brief moment, "Babe lets get some sleep so we can tackle this tomorrow....well today. And we will tackle it like we do everything, together." Regina pulled Robin into a tender kiss. "I love you Robin."

"I love you too....now bed!"

Regina and Robin decided to leave Roland with the Merry Men and Henry had proclaimed that he wanted to stay over at Grace's for the day. Robin and Regina hand in hand walked into the diner and straight to the booth everybody was at looking very packed and uncomfortable. They pulled up chairs and they all waited for Regina to say something.

"I don't know" She finally said

"Regina how could you not know if you had a child or not?" Said Snow in response

"I don't remember EVER having a child but...."

"But what Regina" asked Emma

"I think we would all agree that she looks and awful lot like me...."

They all nodded in agreement.

"But what I don't understand..if...she is your daughter why would she want to hurt you? Where has she been all this time? Why now?" Began Robin

Regina let out a sigh and stood up. "I don't know but I'm going to find out!"

They all looked startled and Emma ran off after Regina beating even Robin to the chase.

"Regina she wants to hurt you! Don't be stupid come back and we will all work out a way to get to the bottom of this!"

"No Emma I am tired of all these problems, I need to know what she knows!" Then Regina puffed away and was then standing outside her vault.

"Show yourself! I know your watching." The young girl appeared before Regina and Regina crossed her arms and looked at the girl.

"Go on then." hissed Regina

"Go on then what!" She retaliated

"Hurt me do what ever seeing as that's what you disturbed the peace to do." The young girl was taken slightly a back at this response, she had expected the fight to be a lot harder.

She stood unsure whether or not to attack Regina.

"Cant do it can you?" Whispered Regina

"What! Of....of course I can! I'm your daughter, the daughter of the Evil Queen its almost in my blood to do bad."

"Your not my daughter, why do you keep on insisting that you are"

"Because I am!"

"Then please indulge me, humour me even, Tell me about yourself, jog my memory." Regina spat in a sarcastic tone.

The girl considered the offer, "fine." Regina relaxed slightly, finally she was going to get some answers.

"My name is Raven."

"Raven............raven...", "Raven?" repeated Regina after going over then name in her head,

"yes...."

"sorry sorry continue its just a really...well...it suits you. You know Ravens are apparently very symbolic, their feathers can reveal innermost secrets and a linked suprisigly to the water element. They can be good luck or bad luck, mysterious yet their song is beautiful.....sorry continue."

Raven didn't know why but she felt herself smiling at her mothers sudden outburst on how much she loved her name. "I'm 18."
"No your not"

"For somebody who doest know me you apparently feel like you know it all!"

"you are not 18....how old are you?"

"..........16..."

Regina rolled her eyes.

"You had me and then you sent me away to wonderland because you couldn't bare to look at me and that's where I've been! Growing up with a heartless grandmother!"

"Cora?"

"Obviously...."

"No no no i'm sorry Raven but I have never had a child! And what you have come hear to get back at me for supposedly abandoning you!"

"And she finally gets it!"

"Well i'm sorry you have the wrong person, I am not your mother."

Raven was now fuming that Regina still refused to believe her. "Take a bloody memory potion then!" She screamed and then disappeared, leaving Regina stunned at her sudden disappearance. Regina grumbled, "Fine then! I will! And show I am not who you think I am!" Regina screamed into the hot summer air.

She bolted down into her vault and made a potion and drank.

She felt a wave, a wave of pain and guilt and abandonment, and then she saw it all. Regina dropped the bottle in her hand and collapsed to the ground.

"REGINA! REGINA! My love there you are I've been looking everywhere for you!" Robin crouched down and held Regina's face making her look right at him.

Tears began to roll freely from her eyes. "Rob...ro....robin....."

"Milady what's wrong, what did she do to you?"

"she.....she's *sob*....my daughter..."
