Regina's Little Sister - A Peter Pan Love Story

Chapter 8

~Previously~

I was watching the clock tower to see if anything changed. When I was about to give up, the hands moved. I smiled because I knew that meant Emma decided to stay. She is already starting to change things and will continue to change them. She is going to save everyone, I know it. She will be the Savior, it's her destiny.

Henry's Pov

The next morning, I was getting ready for school when my 'mom' walks in my room and holds up by storybook. "The missing pages." she tells me, clearly asking me for them. "It's an old book, stuff is missing. Why do you care?" I said/ asked, getting ready to walk around her. "I care because you think I am some 'Evil Queen' and that hurts me Henry. I'm your mother." she said, grabbing my arm to stop me from leaving. "No, you're not." I said, getting a little defensive and pulling my arm from her grasp.

"Then who is? The woman you brought here? I don't like what she is doing to you." said Regina, with a look of finality. When she was about to say more, the clock tower rang out, causing her to turn around with a confused look on her face. I took that as my chance to grab my bag, run out the door and start heading to school. I walked to school, proud of what I had accomplished and happy that Emma was staying. I have to check on Tiffany today, maybe something about her status has changed.

Regina's Pov

I can't believe Henry is lying right to my face. I am currently in his room asking him for the missing pages to his storybook. He know exactly where they are but now he is trying to be difficult. When I was about to scold him until he gave me the pages, the clock tower rang. I turned around shocked, that clock isn't supposed to move. My curse is getting weaker and that could only mean one thing, Emma decided to stay.

While I was distracted, Henry grabbed his bag and ran out the house. I will deal with him later, right now I need to figure out how to get rid of Emma. Maybe I can tap into my sister's magic. If I can tap into her power for one reason, then I can use her magic to find the person who can break her curse.

Her curse might be weakening as well. I was the one who caused it by making her help me with the curse. I need to check on her and if her curse isn't weakening, I am going to use her magic. I will destroy Emma and get my sister back, even if it is the LAST thing I do. I will check on her later, let me check on the town. I can't have people remembering who they are.

Tiffany's Pov

UGH, this is so boring!!! Why can't Regina find a way to get me out of this fire prison?!?!?! My shield is starting to fade, no matter how hard I try to keep it up. The fire in the room is burning hotter and the flames are bigger. If my shield fails, I don't know how long I can last without it.

My shield is disintegrating and the flames are coming through. "Please, no. Someone help. HELP ME, PLEASE!" I yelled. I knew on one could hear but it was worth a shot. Suddenly, the flames cleared and I was back in the Enchanted Forest. I was so confused, I thought Regina said that after she cast the curse, the Enchanted Forest wouldn't exist anymore.

I never thought I would see my homeland again. I was overwhelmed with happiness, until I remembered everyone was in the new realm so I as alone again. I started walking to my sister's castle, maybe there would be something there I could use to contact her.

Regina's Pov

After Henry stormed off, I walked outside to check the clock tower. I couldn't accept the fact that my curse was weakening. When I got to the clock tower, the hands were moving. Time wasn't frozen anymore and it was only a matter of time before people started remembering.

While I was in my daze, Dr. Hopper walked up to me and said, "Hey, look at that. I guess those rusty old innards finally straightened themselves out, huh?" I looked at him with a blank face and said, "Yes, how about that." I spotted Emma's car and devised a plan to get her out of Storybrooke. 'All I need.... is an apple.' I thought, smiling deviously.
