Outlaw Queen || I Never Thought (on hold)

Chapter 11

Rumplestilskin in the front and Charming in the back we set out into the woods in search or the WormWood Daisy. The sound of the leaves crumpling under our feet was the loudest sound in the whole woods. I come across a snake with red eyes and a black body. I make a fireball appear in my hand and throw it towards its head as it perishes the snakes body.

"Nice one mi'lady," says Robin," you haven't really used magic lately?"

"Never thought I'd need to use it," I say as twirl a miniature fireball between my fingers.

Cora walks up over to me and says," Regina...how do you know you can trust these people?"

"Even though it seems impossible. I just trust them," I say back.

I then look up at the sun through the dense forest as I catch dizziness again and fall to the ground on my knees.

Cora helps me up and dusts me off," Regina, you really need to be careful. You can hurt the baby easily?"

"How did you even know I was pregnant anyways? You never told me," I ask as I wrap my black coat around my body to cover my clothes.

"Well you see I have a spell in my spell book that tells if you are pregnant or not. I used it on you when you were in the bathroom at Granny's. I knew I had to tell you. I just wasn't going to there because there was too much of a crowd."

I nod and ask," How do you know how long I've been you know?"

Cora claps her hands and says," From your signs of dizziness and sickness, you are around 2 1/2 months."

I nod and as I see Robin come over and stand beside me as he see Cora get closer. Robin has never liked Cora ever since he met her. Because of the things she has done before. But I can trust her.

"Regina, are you okay? Do you need water? Do I need to carry you? You look hot. Do you need to take off that coa---" Robin says before I stop him.

"Robin. I'm fine. I'm pregnant ,not needy," I say as I grab his hand and slightly smile.

"How's our little girl doing?" Robin asks as he kisses my hand.

"Girl? Why do you think it's a girl?" I say as Cora smiles upon us.

"It would be nice to have a daughter of my own. Especially with the woman I love....but a boy would be great too. I'd love the baby either way. But a little Regina would me nice," Robin says as he smiles up at a bird singing in the tree.

Snow and Charming turn around to hear a sound," Regina?" I hear Snow say in a scared voice.

We turn around to see a dark figure in the shape of man walking towards us. Rumplestilskin turns around and says," Run!"

We run as hard as we can deeper and deeper into the woods. I step on twigs and leaves as I hear them crackle under my feet in every step. Once we get to an opening into the woods, I see a stream. Too deep to walk in. We stop and turn around and look in all directions. Nowhere. The dark figure gone from sight.

"Mom!"

I hear a voice scream in the distance. I look down the stream and see a boy with a backpack, a book, and a pen in hand standing on the other side of the stream.

"Henry. Henry? What are you doing here? How'd you get out?" Snow asks as she looks at her grandson.

"Long story. I just need you to come follow me. We have to find this plant. I looked in a book and found that the WoodWorm Daisy sound he just over this mounta---" Henry says until he is stopped by the black figure.

Charming steps infront of Snow and says," Who are you? Show yourself."

"Are you sure of that my beauties? If you asked..." The black figure removes the hood of the cloak. A young woman around her twenties stand before us. She has red hair and yellow eyes. Her skin is white but not pale. She grins out at us," Nice to see you all in person. I hear y'all are quite the heroes."

"Who are you? Get away from me," says Henry as he steps out infront of the woman which makes me jerk into action trying to get to Henry but Robin holds me back.

The woman slaps Henry across the face and says," Shut up you buffoon."

Rumplestilskin looks over at the woman," Who are you?"

She grins at us once again," My name is Crixus, the queen of death, wife of Hades."

"Crixus..." I fall to my knees at the word.
