Chapter 10. Regina

Chapter 10. Regina

Regina leaned against the door frame of Henry's room and watched him sleep. His face lit up by the moonlight, peering in through his window. She watched as his chest raised and fell as he breathed, letting him continue his peaceful dreams.
The next morning she awoke early and decided to go for a walk, she wanted to clear her head and be alone for a while. As she crossed the troll bridge and headed deeper into the woods she bumped into Mary Margaret. "Hello again" Mary Margaret called cheerfully as she spotted Regina in the distance. Regina ignored her and sat back down on that same tree trunk. Mary Margaret came over. "Did you find your soulmate?" she asked. Regina looked up at Snow, she could kind of see the resemblance of Emma's face in hers. "Something like that" Regina muttered, hiding her face. Mary Margaret sat on the ground beside her, she placed her hand on her knee. "It wasn't what you were expecting? Anyone we know?". Regina had wanted Snow White dead for so many years, she had spent so much time plotting revenge, she never imagined she would end up getting dating advice from her. "Does it have something to do with Robin?", "Why does everyone keep mentioning Robin Hood, he's gone, he left me, I got over it", "Then Regina, what's the problem?", "I can't fall in love with- with this new person, there's too much history, too much mess", "Regina you can't let things that happened in the past affect your happiness in the future. How did this potential soulmate make you feel? How do YOU feel". Regina thought for a moment. "When we're together, I forget who I am. I'm no longer the Evil Queen I was branded, I'm just Regina. I feel the weight of the world disappear and all that's left behind is passion and happiness" she paused, "but I don't deserve it. I don't deserve love. True love is my happy ending but I'm a Villain and Villains don't get happy endings". Mary Margaret smiled. "Regina, you need to stop thinking that way. You have to grab happiness with both hands and refuse to let go". "But I'm afraid, Snow, you don't understand, you won't understand", "Try me" Mary Margaret exclaimed. Regina shed a single tear and sighed. "It's-" She began, as she spoke David appeared in the distance. "There you are" He called to Mary Margaret. "We've been looking for you" He said, waving Neal's hand as he grew closer. Regina wiped her eyes and nodded towards David, then she walked back into town.

"Regina" a voice called from behind her, "Regina" he called again. "What?" She asked spinning around to see Mr Gold hurrying towards her. "We've got a problem, I need you to come back to the shop with me, I've called Ms Swan, she's on her way". Regina begrudgingly followed Mr Gold back to the pawnbrokers and waited for Emma. Emma arrived shortly after, "Gold, what's so important?" she asked the second she walked through the door. When she spotted Regina she fell silent. Mr Gold looked from Emma to Regina and back, then stood behind the counter. "The person on the other side of the mirror is in Storybrooke", "How do you know that?" Emma asked, "Belle has been helping out and she found the missing link I needed to find out", "And?" Regina interrupted, "I need you both to find out who our little evil follower is so I can put a stop to this", "How are we supposed to find this out by ourselves? There's a lot of people in Storybrooke, it could be anyone" Emma announced. Mr Gold hung his cane on a hook on the wall. "Very well, update Snow White and Prince Charming and get them to help, but no one else must find out, especially Henry", "Why not Henry?" Emma asked "Because last time he almost died giving Pan his heart, I don't want him ruining this plan". "Don't talk about Henry like that" Regina barked. Mr Gold did not respond. "Go now, we don't have much time, these enchanted mirrors only last a certain amount of time, and the spell casted over this one Zelena has been using is almost out of magic. If we're going to stop this, we need to act fast". Emma glanced to Regina. "Fine, we'll go tell Mom and Dad".
"Emma, why didn't you tell us sooner?" David asked, trying to make sense of the news. "I couldn't tell you, but now we need your help" she told. "What do you think she wants?" David asked. Mary Margaret looked up at Regina. "This is Zelena we're talking about, do you think she just may not be finished winding you up Regina?", "What's left to take from me, she's already got Robin, she's having his baby for goodness sake". Mary Margaret frowned, "But even after all that she still hasn't ensured you won't get a happy ending, it could still happen Regina and you know it. If somehow Zelena knows you are in love she's going to want to destroy that". Regina felt her body break into goosebumps. Emma stared right at her but she dared not to look back. "Ok so there's a possibility she's after Regina, but she could also be after Emma" David spoke up, "What? Why me?" Emma asked alarmingly, "Emma you're the saviour, you're the reason the villains never get away with their evil plans, so chances are she's out to kill you". The tension in the room rose and everybody became silent. "So what do we do now?" Emma asked. David sucked his teeth, "Emma you and I stay here, Mary Margaret you go with Regina, and-" "No" Mary Margaret spoke up. Everyone turned to Mary Margaret confused "No, David I think you and I should go out looking, if it's true and someone is coming to harm Emma, nine months pregnant or not, I'm sorry but I want Regina with her, she can use her magic to protect her better than we could". "Alright fine, lets waste no more time" David agreed. Mary Margaret kissed Neal on the head and then wrapped her scarf around her neck before leaving the apartment. "We'll see you later on ok" David spoke from the door. Emma and Regina both nodded, and then he left, closing the door, shutting them in the apartment together. "I'll take the back of the house, you watch the front-" Emma gave orders, "No Emma wait, let's talk" Regina said. "We don't have time to talk", "Yes we do, Emma I'm serious please". Emma placed her hands on her hips. "Alright fine, you want to talk, let's talk about this; You're in love? Who the hell are you in love with Regina and when did you plan on telling me? Did you even stop to think how that makes me feel?", Regina took a step closer to Emma. "Emma, you really are as barmy as you are beautiful looking". Emma craned her neck, an impassive look upon her face. "Emma, I'm not in love with anybody, If I was I wouldn't be climbing into bed with you. Please, give me some credit" she added. "W-what are you saying Regina?" she asked massaging her face confused. "Emma I care about you, I care for you, I'm not trying to hurt you" Regina paused mid sentence and took a deep breath, "As crazy as that may sound it is true, this spark between us, it's dangerous and completely crazy, but so much fun. But if you want to stop this tell me now before somebody really does get hurt".
