Chapter 26. Regina

Chapter 26. Regina

Regina and Emma had been parted for around twenty minutes by now, the guard monkey had not yet bumped into her and neither had Regina reached a dead end. The cells just kept on going, which had to be part of some dark spell. Not knowing if the guard was hot on her trail or not Regina raced on through the cells, unwilling to stand still and find out. Shadows of the hundreds of bars flickered in the candlelight as she moved, which was quite distracting and made her feel slightly dizzy. All of a sudden the cells came to an abrupt end, Regina pushed out her hands to stop herself from smashing her face into the wall in front of her. As her hands came into contact with the wall she realised that in fact, the wall was a door and she had fallen right through it and crashed into another room. A room that unfortunately, was being occupied by all four Jack cards. "Alert the wicked witch, tell her her there's a family reunion waiting to happen" one of the Jack's said to the others with an evil snarl on his face. Two of the guards gripped Regina's wrists and yanked her further into the room, away from the door.

"Now, I will give you one last chance sis, why are you in my house?" Zelena spat. Regina flared her nostrils, "I already told you, I was looking for Emma" she retold. Zelena shook her head in disbelief. "You really don't know what's happened to the saviour then?" she asked. "Emma Swan is dead" Zelena chirped, smiling as if she had just woken up on Christmas morning. Regina was partly confused but went along with the conversation not letting Zelena know the truth of why she was running around her house in the middle of the night. "No, NO" she shouted pretending to grieve for Emma. Zelena sat back and watched Regina's pretend agony, enjoying every second of it. "I am sorry sis but it's true, the saviour is sleeping with the fishes. But don't worry, that's like heaven compared to what I have lined up for you" she tormented. Regina almost forgot she was only acting, as her fake tears turned to real ones. "Take her to the tower" Zelena told the guards. With that two of them dragged Regina out into the main house and partly carried her to the tower. Regina sat in silence thinking about Emma as she waited for Zelena to get there. She hoped Emma was ok and that she had managed to free David and Mary Margaret, she also hoped she hadn't done anything stupid such as go looking for her.
Zelena arrived dramatically, forcing the doors open with her magic, sauntering into the room as if she were anything more than a wicked toad faced witch. Regina stared right through Zelena, which made her green sister angry. "You stole my life" Zelena came straight out with, not pussyfooting around the sure to happen confrontation. "I didn't even know you existed until it was too late" Regina boomed. "Even so, I hated you, you had everything I didn't", "What? A strict upbringing, a forced loveless marriage, a life wasted on revenge upon a ten year old girl" Regina began. "No, a mother and a father, a second chance, a son. You've had a life, a real one" Zelena listed. "If that's what you call a life then I feel sorry for you", "No sis, I feel sorry for YOU. Because weather you appreciate your life or not, you're about to be stripped of it". Regina's pupils dilated as her anger grew stronger, not for herself, she didn't care much for the threats her sister made over her life, but she thinks she's killed Emma, and she's reveling in it hoping that it would cause her distress. The longer she was kept aside in the tower the more she thought about Emma. Did she manage to free David and Mary Margaret? Were they still angry with her? Had they forgiven her? She could answer those questions in her head but she would be fooling no one. Without proof and solid facts she had no idea if Emma was ok. As she brushed away all thoughts of Emma being in pain, it was as though she brushed away Zelena too because with that one shake of the head, the wicked witch turned and left the room. For a moment Regina seemed to be in some sort of bubble, because she hadn't realised she was being chained by the guards until she felt the cold iron lock into place at her wrists. "You'll regret this" she panted to the guards, straining to break free. Surprisingly they said nothing, they kept their mouths shut and then they too left the room, bolting the large wooden door, plunging Regina into darkness.
