soulmates; o.q.

Part 4

The group of 7 stood in a circle inside Granny's, Rumple in the middle of the room where Regina's remains still laid untouched. He held out the crystal causing the interior of the small diner to be surrounded in a blue haze. "Regina" Gold whispered into the crystal and watched as smoke swirled in the air, Regina coming into form, except she didn't look the same. She had a look in her eye, one of vengeance.

"Regina!" Robin spoke first he ran to hug her only to be blasted back by magic.

"Who the hell are you? I don't know you!" Regina yelled balling her hands into fists. Robin backed away from her after getting back on his feet. Regina looked around the room and she caught a glimpse of Snow. "Oh look who's here, Snow White, ready to play again are we?" Regina rubbed her hands together then struck, she grabbed ahold of Snow and Robin then vanished in a cloud of purple smoke.

"Well that went well," David mutters.

"Okay listen to what I tell you it's going to work. I knew she was going to do this," Rumple said looking at the spot Regina had just stood.

"You knew she was going to take my wife!" David yelled going to lunge for Rumple but was held still by magic.

"Yes, anyone could have guessed that. Now listen or you are going to have the Evil Queen forever," Rumple said looking over the group.

Regina appeared in the foyer of her former home in a cloud of purple smoke. "Regina let me go please!!" Snow begged and pleaded, still in the grasp of the older brunette. "Please Regina, let's talk. This isn't you." She said in a rasp.

"I don't need to talk!" Regina snapped as she pushed her hands out and with a loud thud Snow hit the banister of the stairs. Regina stalks towards her, waving her hand gracefully as invisible strings laced their way around Snow. Regina turned to Robin with a slight smirk playing on her face.

"Regina please listen to me," Robin pleaded looking into her eyes, not scared by the dead look in hers. Regina looked right back into his eyes, they looked like he actually loved her which surprised Regina, but she would never show it.

"You have one minute," she mutters sitting down on the couch then motioned for Robin to do the same.

"Okay please listen... We went down to the Underworld to save some of your family and Hades came back. We beat him the first time, but he came back and hit you with the crystal. Rumple found a way to bring you back, but it said that it was possible you could lose the love you had and would turn back into the Evil Queen. What you don't know is your love for your son Henry, your love for your soulmate, me, or your love for your stepdaughter. You don't remember being forgiven by everyone in this town at all. I just... really want you back Regina I miss you," he said edging towards her a little on the couch. His eyes were glazed over with tears that were threatening to fall. Of course he loved this part of her, but he wanted all of her, not just evil. Regina's eyes began to soften but in an instant they were just as cold and hard again.

"I know what you are doing. You are trying to soften me so I don't kill that girl, Ha! They think this is going to work on me." Regina laughed and with a twist of her hand Robin was sent up to one of her guest rooms, locked in. "I'll do something with him later, first I need to get this grime off me," she mutters to herself, dusting at the pants suit she was in before walking up the stairs.
