The Underworld

Here Comes The Dead

Teresa

I swallowed and rushed out of the house, my stomach twisting in knots as I remembered seeing the horrible man in Regina's house.

I was soaking wet and freezing as I fumbled for the keys, the rain and my tears blurring my vision as I rushed into my dreary apartment, my fear flooding my memory, suffocating me.

The walls started closing in on me and I felt myself overheating, sweat forming on my forehead, my heart pounding through my chest, my airway tightening and I knew I had to get out of the house, but my knees gave out on me and I crumpled to the floor, grabbing my knees as the memories flooded back, making me shake.

Regina

"What the hell are you doing here!" I yelled at the stupid man who stood in front of me, Eva and Chris got up defensively and surrounded me along with the Charmings, Emma, and Robin, quite concerned about Teresa.

"Hades sent me, he wanted me to send a warning and to start his business, it's our job, he wants us to destroy you all so he can rule both worlds, so that's what I am going to do, now, time to go and talk to my daughter." He said walking away, rage boiled inside of me and I wanted to kill him for everything he did to me, taking Henry, electrocuting me, nearly destroying the town!

"Get back here." I growled, gripping him in a choke hold, squeezing as hard as I could. "I don't have my cuff this time! Oh! Yeah, I have magic, horrible, dark, different magic!" I yelled, my magic making my pelvis burn.

"Regina! What are you doing?!" Robin yelled, gripping my waist, my body shaking as I choked him harder. "He nearly killed me! He almost killed my son!" I grunted, my voice filled with rage.

"Regina let him go, we will lock him up and make sure Hades doesn't get to him, but put him down." Snow said placing her hand on my wrist, her voice barely audible, still startling me and causing me to twitch and scratch her away.

"Regina please, for our baby, you're better than this." Robin said into my ear, clearing my rage, dropping the pathetic man onto my floor.

"I'll handle him, just sit down darling." Robin said slowly sitting me on the sofa next to Snow, who gripped my wrist safely.

"Let me go too." David said helping Robin drag an unconscious Greg out of the house and into the rain.

"I'm sorry I hurt you." I wept, looking down at the raw skin that was now bleeding. "You're bleeding!" I cried, she shook her head and covered her arm with her hand, smiling at me.

"Don't worry about me, it's okay." She said softly, the guilt was eating me alive, I had reverted so quickly, all he did was walk in the room and I nearly killed him, and I hurt my friend.

"Regina, I'm fine." She said trying to convince me, I shook my head and slowly stood up despite her protests, wandering towards the kitchen, grabbing the roll of paper towels and first aid kit, returning to the living room, my whole body aching from walking.

"Sweetie sit down." I said waving her away, sitting down beside her, pouring medicine on the paper towel, pressing it on her wound. "Stop that Regina, don't be guilty, you're fine, just don't think about it." Snow said placing her hand on top of mine, I swallowed and nodded, wiping my tear away from my eye.

"Do you think you could watch Penelope? I want to make sure Teresa is alright, she ran out quickly when she saw Greg." I said standing up, Snow gave me a wary look and followed me. "No, I'm coming with you, he's dangerous and your magic is still coming back, we can bring the baby." She said sternly, I didn't want to bring her out in such harsh conditions but I knew Snow wouldn't let up.
