I already lost her.

Part 5 : To remember.

Zelena was alone, but she always knew it and in a way, now, it was worse. Abandoned by everyone or loosing the one who cared about her, the witch never had been surrounded by much people.

When it was the case, there were soldiers or their flying monkeys.

(Don't think about your adoptive mother. Don't think about Glinda. Don't think about all the people who made you suffer.)

No one stayed around her by choice, that's why she had been so happy to realize that she was pregnant. There would be someone, finally... someone who would love her for herself and would not leave her.

Even if before... there also was Hades. To think about the god hurt her as formerly. To loose him had been like a hole in her heart, because she really wanted to believe in him, believe that he wasn't using her.

She loved him... And maybe that she still did, despite all her anger, and all her hatred. And even with this, there was still a doubt in her... what if he was sincere ?

What if he had been able to offer her a happy ending ?

§§§§

Some days passed since she was here, since she realized that she couldn't be seen. That she knew that everyone forgot her. That she was going to die. She counted; she would not resist more than two weeks, she would soon definitively disappear.

(Was it her punishment of having chosen the Darkness ? Was that coming from the Author ? Now terrorised, Zelena didn't even think about the fact that she would have adored to rip out his heart, to him also. She was thinking to survive.)

She didn't think of her revenge, her sister, or Hades. Or of her own death.

No, she just could think of her baby, this little thing that would never exist. That they would make disappear, and for the first time, the witch didn't think about herself.

She was going to become a mother. Well, this is what should have happened if everything ended goodly; but she played and then she lost. To play with Regina's boyfriend hadn't been such a good idea finally.

And she was going to die. Strangely, this time, she didn't accuse the others of what happened.

She was becoming to think that, maybe, she was the responsible. The culprit.

Don't think that it happened to her, in her so easily, she had too pride for this. She needed time before contemplating to this conclusion, and she needed to be in danger of death before questioning herself.

She was going to die.

And it scared her.

Hades, when Henry left him, had a luminous idea (according to himself, of course), so he could try to find the woman that haunted him. When you travel through a vortex, you have to think about the place where you want to go, and then you arrive in this place.

The solution appeared then to him, as simple as that. To think about the face of the red-headed woman would allow him to find her, if she was still here. Well, the only way to know it, it was to try, no ?

And then, in a strange puff of smoke, the god evaporated and disappeared, him also at the eyes of everyone.

§§§§

When he happened in a confined room, that seemed completely empty, the god frowned. Before listening someone breathing in another place of the room. And at this moment, he felt that there was something wrong.
