I already lost her.

Epilogue : For ever and after.

When the blast of magic reached her, Zelena didn't realize what was happening to her. All she thought was: "Oh no, not again": fear took her and she didn't see immediately that she wasn't in this strange room.

The first thing she understood, after having examined for days her own body without seeing it, is that she saw herself again. And that, was unhoped for. She put a hand against her belly, just in order to feel her baby.

She smiled. When Hades disappeared, she had been desperate, but was sure of one thing.

He didn't leave her. He also didn't understand what was happening, and she knew that he tried to stay with her.

It didn't change the fact that he wasn't here any more.

But her, she was again here, visible and... still locked up. The witch jumped when she recognized the place where she was, and she produced an annoyed sniffling.

Well... things were like they were before, and even if it didn't please here, it was better than staying in this strange place where she would have died. She preferred it, really and even if she would have to stay in this room, at least she wouldn't die.

Her child wouldn't die. They would take her from her, but her child would have a family, even though it was her sister that raised her.

Even if they learned her to hate her mother.

Her child would be happy.

And it was just that that mattered.

§§§§

The first memory that crossed through his mind, it was a look. Not happy or in love, nor even painful. Just furious. Those of Zelena, before everything which was between them (or what could have been) was reduced to ashes.

Other arrived in his mind, and he took a great breath. And he knew that he hadn't been wrong; he loved Zelena. With all of his heart, and despite her reject, it changed nothing, he would fight for her.

And it was beginning now, he had to find her. Indifferent just before at the reunion of the others, he walked in direction of Regina who was evoking her regret of having erased Zelena from the story.

"Where is she ? The god cried at her face, as she jumped, surprised."

Scared, she showed him where her sister was locked, without knowing who he was. Probably a bad idea, because if the god hadn't have such the will of finding the young woman, he would surely have ripped out her heart as she made suffer the other witch.

Without waiting someone gave him the permission to, he teleported himself directly in Zelena' cellar...

§§§§

She wasn't expecting it. A smile appeared on her face, by seeing the man who didn't forget her and fought for her.

"Zelena ? He asked in a whisper."

She nodded, almost ready to cry, again with joy, and he also smiled, because she was here, but this time he stayed frozen.

She made the first step, walking slowly in his direction, also with little steps. Before she throw herself in his arms, and that he made her swirl, and that she began to laugh.

After some seconds, he put her on the ground, and he contemplated her.

"You did it, finally succeeded to say the young woman. You made me come back; and you remember, she understood by seeing his loving look on her.

- Yes, I remember. Of everything. And I love you Zelena."

They both almost lost each other; so no matter that they could have been opposed before.

"I love you too Hades."

§§§§

To make Zelena being free... was a complete failure. At the beginning at least, because Regina really was against it, as Robin.

"You wanted to erase her from the story, I don't think you have something to tell, the god of the Underworld whistled."

Even with knowing what she has done, the god wanted to see her free, and he was strangely joyful when he learned that she was pregnant.

They were in an impasse. Until Hades had a talk with his sister Hestia, that helped him to definitely reconcile himself with Zeus. As he didn't want himself to get his revenge, it helped him to concentrate himself only on Zelena.

And he tried to help her not having hatred against her sister in her heart.

At the beginning reluctant to it, Regina, as the others, finally accepted to let her go; but indeed, they had a god against them. What could have they do except that ?

And, as Regina's and Zelena' relationship was becoming better, it was the same for the god and the witch.

Three months after they all came back they kissed for the second time, and that the god's heart finally beat again.

§§§§

And when Zelena finally gave birth to her child some months after (after the others succeeded to destroy the darkness), they were three around her (Regina, Robin, and Hades).

But the two of them both had the impression that they were alone in the world, and as Zelena took for the first time her daughter in her hands, they smiled to each other.

Because it was their happy ending, and that after they fought to obtain it, they finally found it...

THE END.
