   The witch's hands cramp as she elongates and retracts her long fingers.  Green magic dances at her fingertips but dies out in seconds.  She huffs loudly, slamming her cuffed hands on her lap.  She stands abruptly with a growl, eyeing the enchanted metal door before her.  "I will get out.  I will get out and terrorize everything my little sis cares for," she declares darkly.  She chuckles slightly.  "Then I'll get that ever-so-charming hatter for myself."

   "Focus Zelena," She whispers to herself as she concentrated her magic on the door. 

   She closes her crystal blue eyes, and shoots out her hands towards the door.  Her grind together, baring as the powerful magic surges through her veins.  She cracks a smile as green waves of magic crawl towards the door.  She fights through the aching pain in her tendons and bones.  The magic reaches the door and stops, clashing with Regina's red magic. 

   She can feel the restraint on it as the spell pushed back on her own dark magic.  She starts to growl, releasing more energy into the door.  Now that pain is starting to become harsher and harsher.  The dark magic feels like little knives stabbing and ripping through your body.  Dark blood trickles down from her nostril as she screams in pain, the green magic punching through the seal. 

   A big flash of energy and light, the door blasts off as a wobbly witch carries herself towards the door.  She walks through the doorway.  No seal.  She had broken it.  She smiles and looks down at her throbbing hands.  "I'm back," she says and wipes the blood from her nose.  "And ever so stronger."

"See, and there's the last wedding. This is the one we had here. This book is recording all the major events! Who's doing this and why?" Henry asks his family frantically as her flips through the pages. "Now these ones are blank, but-" He starts to say until he falls on a page with Zelena in head-to-toe black Oz clothing. "Oh no."

"Henry, what's wrong?" Regina asks, rocking Eleanor back and forth soothingly.

"The witch is back, the witch is here, the witch is the one to fear," he reads off the page as his bottom lip trembled in fear. "Mom! Zelena, she's back!" He says and turns to the book to show the picture to Robin and Regina.

"Henry, this...this book. Where did you find it?" Robin asks as his heart rat quickens.

"It just appeared in my closet, like it was wanting me to find it."

   "Like your other book?" The former thief asks. 

   "Yeah!  But this one, this book  is now, recording now," he says and flips through until he lands on a blank page.  "See?  A blank page.  It's waiting to be filled."

   "What do you think it'll record next?  Snow singing her with her uncharming husband?" Regina asks as Robin smirks. 

   "Thank you for saying "uncharming,'" Robin smiles, kissing her cheek. 

   "I...I have no idea.  But...Zelena, she-she's out or something!  She has her Oz clothes!" Henry urges.  "We gotta go to the asylum."

   "I've heard enough out of my estranged sister, sweetheart."

   Henry frowns and shakes his head, pondering at the blank pages.  The family's heads turn up at the blast from the front door.  The door is now in shards on the pristine floor and Zelena appears in her best attire.  "I'm back, witches," Zelena says with an overconfident smile.
