Her Weakness✔

Chapter 7

Zelena

Evelina had done many great things in her life.

She once helped her father with his guardian duties. She did so well, that North gave Evelina and her father a day off so they could bond as father and daughter.

Evelina helped Emma break the first curse of Storybrooke, even when she didn't know she was helping.

Evelina consoled Regina when Snow killed her mother, Cora. Although the young Frost did get in trouble for being around Regina when the queen was considered dangerous and unpredictable, Evelina still did her best to make everyone happy. She even consoled Snow when she realized what she had done.

Evelina helped Hansel and Gretel get home when they had gotten lost in town one day.

Evelina helped Ashley, the famous Cinderella, get back on her feet and even took care of her newborn baby while she was at work.

Evelina had done a lot of good deeds in her life. It was an instinct for her to automatically know how to help when a person was in need. She just knew what to do.

But as she laid on the hard cold floors of the old wooden cabin in the middle of nowhere, Evelina had no idea how to help herself. She didn't know what the best plan was for her. She didn't know which way to walk, she didn't know if she even wanted to leave the cabin. Evelina was too afraid she would die out in the frozen tundra. Of course it is impossible for her to die of the cold, but it was a fear that had lodged itself into Evelina's mind.

The young Evelina had found comfort in the cabin. It was like her own personal home. She showered with ice cold water, her absolute favourite way to bathe, she read the many books that were in the cabin, and she even started to teach herself how to knit. She had found a cabinet full of knitting supplies and she decided to pick up the new hobby.

"Ridiculous, Evelina. Stranded in the middle of nowhere and you decide to knit." She scowled at herself. But she couldn't make herself drop the sticks as she continued to knit a blanket to perfection. Or at least, she tried to. The blanket she tried to make eventually looked like a disfigured piece of nothing and Evelina set it on fire before throwing it out into the cold.

She was slowly beginning to lose her mind.

Cora, the mother of Regina, wasn't the best of mothers nor was she a good queen. She constantly pushed Regina to the crown, and Cora even managed to push Regina over her limits. Cora had been part of the reason why Regina became the Evil Queen. She killed her daughter's first true love, after Snow had accidentally spilled to Cora that Regina was going to run away with the stable boy named Daniel. It had destroyed Regina. Cora had also taught Regina dark magic, and even suggested taking Rumpelstiltskin as her mentor. Regina, still mourning over the loss of her love, banished her mother to another realm known as Wonderland, where Cora soon took over as well, and became the new Queen of Hearts before her death in Storybrooke.

Overall she wasn't a good person in general.

Cora had made mistakes in her past. Many mistakes, even before Regina was born.

Zelena was one of those mistakes.

Who was Zelena?

The actual first born of Cora.

Why wasn't she queen to begin with?

Because she was Cora's little secret burden with no royal blood.

Zelena was the daughter of Cora and a simple gardener named Jonathon. He had told Cora he was royalty, and she believed him. Desperate to be part of the royal life, Cora bedded him, and the result was Zelena.

After being noticed by another prince who had actual royal blood, Cora knew she had to get rid of Zelena.

After having the child, Cora sent her first born to another realm known as Oz.

She never saw her again.

Zelena grew up in Oz, with farmers and not having such a spectacular life like Regina's (although Regina's wasn't that good either). After encountering some people and obstacles, she became known as the Wicked Witch of the West.

With a complexion of green, and a good hand at magic, all Zelena needed was a way to the Enchanted Forest.

And that's where Pan came into the picture.

Pan was determined to make life terrible for the Charming's and Regina.

And Zelena was the perfect pawn to do the job.

"Walsh! Get your arse in here!" Bellowing ran through the forest green castle that stood proudly in the middle of Oz. Clicks of heels loudly rang, and Walsh the flying monkey knew he must've done something to make his master so angry.

As the green skinned women walked into the main ballroom, it was clear to anyone she was furious.

"HOW COULD YOU LET DOROTHY ESCAPE?!" She screamed at the winged creature and Walsh bowed his head down in shame. He squeaked nonsense and Zelena simply rolled her eyes at him before aiming a fire ball at him.

"Pathetic!" She snarled as he flew away to find cover from the angry witch. Zelena ignored him and walked over to the edge of the room, where a mirror stood. She looked at herself, admiring her wavy brown hair and green eyes. Zelena was a beautiful women, she knew that, but she hated her green skin.

It was envy.

It was something so deadly and sinful, and Zelena had fallen into the trap of temptation.

She huffed angrily and just as she was about to destroy the mirror for portraying her in such a negative way, a voice behind her startled her wits.

"Green just isn't your color, love, I believe you should leave that to me." Zelena turned sharply and raised an eyebrow when she saw a young boy, around the age of 18 standing there, not far from her. Zelena frowned at him and got ready to use her magic if he presented himself as an enemy.

"Who the hell are you?" She demanded and the boy gave a smirk.

"Someone who will help you be the downfall to those awful Charming's, and your half sister Regina."

Zelena had never been more interested in her life. She didn't even question how this boy already knew so much about her life and instead gave a sinister grin.

"Where do we begin?"
