DESTINY

Chapter 19 - Extreme temperatures

        She walked alone on the frosty streets, sending fireballs along her way, melting and burning everything that hindered her from her journey. One step after the other, her strides went longer and faster leading her to the deepest of the woods. Regina left Gold, disappointed, not able to convince him of giving her what she needed of him.

“All I want is to be happy!” She squealed, stomping her feet heavily with every step she took, repeatedly mumbling it to herself. The fire she has been throwing went larger and larger as she neared towards the forest. I will end this. If they can’t help me, I WILL DO IT MYSELF! She has been struggling keeping herself from going back to the dark side, but it has always been the way she’s most comfortable at. I have nothing to lose, Regina desperately assumed out of anger. “ELSA!” She screamed, throwing blazes of spherical inferno towards the frozen rocks and trees. “Show yourself, you pretentious snow freak!” She shouted against the strong howling of the winds, not stopping from generating fires on the palm of her hands.

“Sooner or later, you’re going to burn this town down,” a woman chuckled. She gracefully sauntered from the shade behind a huge tree facing Regina, frosting the path she walked on. Her platinum blonde hair falls to her left shoulders, braided with a snowflake clip on the side revealing just as much of her bold blue eyes. Her pink lips and rosy cheeks not showing a bit of coldness even with her crystal blue off-shoulder dress.

“As long as you burn with it!” Regina started to laugh. There was a glimmer in her eyes and she felt something she hasn’t felt in quite a long time. The joy of destroying someone, she imagined. Her laugh was so evil that it would definitely make those who hear it whimper from fear. She threw the initial fire orb towards the Snow Queen.

Elsa gasped, a bit surprised but she was able to swiftly dodge Regina’s first attack. She giggled, enjoying her second encounter with the Evil Queen. “Is that a way to greet your friend?”

“Friend?” Regina asked, raising her eyebrows.

“You still haven’t thanked me for what I did for you,” Elsa reminded her.

“Thank you for what?” Regina probed, confused.

“The woman at that diner I killed,” she replied winking.

Regina’s mouth hanged open. “I – I didn’t ask you for that!” She responded stuttering, not wanting to listen further on what Elsa had to say. She walked slowly circling the Snow Queen as another hot sphere was forming on her hand.

“I did it anyway. I want us to be friends,” she requested with a grin.

 “I don’t want to be your friend,” Regina answered, swishing fires towards Elsa.

“Your eyes,” Elsa began further. “I recognize a desperate soul when I see one,” she provoked the Evil Queen. She raised her hands, suspended mid-air on both of her sides, and stiffened her fingertips allowing mist of ice to escape causing her melted background to turn frosty again.

Regina raised her eyebrows and pestered back, “I bet you recognize one when you see your reflection on all the ice you make.”

The look on Elsa’s face tells that she was annoyed by Regina’s statement. “You won’t ever have your happy ending!” She snapped. ”Don’t make me remind you of who you are,” a smirk escaped her lips as she glided her hand against the invisible winds sending a slight flurry towards Regina.

The Evil Queen easily deflected it as she tilted her head to the side anticipating the movements of the Snow Queen. “You don’t get to tell me who I am!” She replied, directing another fireball straight on Elsa’s face.
