The Regal Ships II

Part 2: Wraith (RB)

So sorry this is like, Incredibly late. 

Ship: RegalBeliever 👑✍🏻

   Regina knew deep down that her son Henry loved her, but that persistent devil inside her assured her he hated her.  What was she to believe?  It's clear he doesn't like her, or at least, her actions.  Even as a caring mother to him while he was ten, he refused to show her love that he used to show.  It shattered her heart, and it felt like someone was running them into the dirt. 

   She supposed she never really had a peaceful time period in her life, even with Daniel.  While she was sneaking around with her stable boy, her mother constantly yapped like the tyrant she was, "you're a princess Regina, fix your posture.  You're a princess Regina, you don't clean for yourself.  You're a princess Regina, don't you ever cry!"  That was all she heard, the nagging like some loud raven in her ear.

   She recalled all the terrible things she did to those poor innocent people.  It was true, she really was evil. 

   The "former" evil queen peered down at her scarred hand.  That mark of wraith on her usually soft skin, scared her.  Would she die?  I might, she thought.  And that was okay to her. She didn't really what to live this life anymore, or if you could even call it a life.

Regina sat there in dreary, dark cell, looking up and down the rusting green bars.  Was this really how the rest of her existence would be, in a cold, desolate cell?  She looked back down at her hand, studying the lines of a raised skin and the redness of the burned areas.  It stung like a bitch. 

   In eerie silence, she heard a whisper, not like a voice, but it was muffled.  Her head shot up at the break in silence.  She stood up in a quick motion, her dark eyes darting around the office.  "Who's there?!"

   Suddenly, a dark cloaked figure flew into the office, it's bright red eyes staring into her chocolate brown ones.  This was it.  She was about to die.  The fear in her eyes reflected that of her former self.  It was the young woman that died with Daniel Colter. 

   Her heart racing, she backed into the brick wall, hoping the bars would protect her for at least a little bit.  They were no match.  The wraith flung the metal rod door of the cell open and sprung its bony reaper-like hands out at her.  Her eyes widened fully as the wraith connected with her soul, starting its dirty work. 

   Her back arched from the soul sucker's strength of extracting her darkened soul.  Then, the unbearable Charmings rush into the office and David shoves a chair into the wall as the wraith whips its head around to see who's the source of the commotion. 

   The wraith soon ignored David's pathetic attempt of distracting the supernatural figure, and continued to take Regina's soul away. 

   With Snow White being all heroic and hopeful, she grabbed a can of apple cinnamon air freshener and a lighter.  She knew deep down that her stepmother could be saved.  "Hey!  Grim Reaper, look over here!" She screamed and pressed down on the button, releasing the freshener and lighting it on fire. 

   Somehow, Snow's plan worked and the wraith screeched loudly, breaking through a window and going outside.

   Emma and Snow noticed Regina sink to her knee and cough violently.  "Hey, you alright?"

   "I just near-ly had...my soul sucked out!  What do you th-ink?!" Regina struggled to say as she got the air back into her lungs. 

   Emma helped to her to her feet as David glared at the former evil queen.  "I don't get why we did this for her.  It's already obvious she doesn't appreciate our help.  We should've let her die!" David shouted, crossing his arms as Regina scoffed in amusement.
