Once Upon A Legacy

Chapter 16- Regina Mills

Hope Jone's POV

"What do you mean something bad happened?" Emma asked.

"Remember the necklace? You know, the one you told me to never lose and wear at all times?" I asked.

"Yeah." Emma said. "What about it?"

"I lost it." I said.

"You did WHAT?" Emma yelled so loudly that everyone in Granny's Diner started to stare.

"It's not as bad as it seems." I said. "We know that it's here in Storybrooke."

"Okay, but what do they have to do with this?" Hook asked. "Why is your Professor here?"

"They're here to help." I replied. "Allow me to introduce them to you."

"I can introduce myself, thank you very much." Lizzie said. "I'm Lizzie Saltzman.

Lizzie shook Hook's hook and started asking many questions on how he got it.

"Damn, what did you go through to get that hook? It must have been rough." Lizzie said.

"Lizzie, don't be rude." Josie said. "Please excuse my sister. I'm Josie, her twin."

"And I have the same name as your daughter, I'm Hope Mikaelson." Hope said.

"It's lovely to meet all of you, really. But now we have to talk about this necklace. How did it get missing?" Hook asked.

"It's a long story." I replied.

"Well we got time, tell us everything." Emma said.

All of us ordered something to drink and then we took a seat at one of the tables.

When everyone was settled down, I started to explain. "Okay so it all started with a dragon."

________________________________

It took me about half an hour to finish explaining my story. My parents were speechless after that.

"Wow. That is a lot to take in." Emma said. "And all of this happened within two months?"

"Yep." Hope said. "Crazy, right?"

"Crazy, indeed." Hook said. "So we know everything except who is summoning the monsters."

"That's what we need to find out." I said. "We know that the persons here in Storybrooke."

"Who could it possibly be?" Lizzie asked. "Everyone in this town seems so nice, who could be capable of such evil?"

"I know someone who might be able to help us." Alaric said. "Remember that woman I was talking about? The one that I met that was from Storybrooke?"

"What about her?" I asked.

"She might still be here in Storybrooke." Alaric said.

"Do you remember her name?" Emma asked. "We might know who she is."

"Yeah. She's someone that I could never forget." Alaric said. "Her name's Regina."

Regina? As in Regina Mills? She was my moms best friend and she also shares a son with my mom. She was also like a second mother to me. I was very curious on how Alaric knew her.

"We know a Regina? Regina Mills." Emma said. "We're both really close with her. How do you know her?"

"I rather not get into that conversation right now." Alaric said. "Let's just go find her."

"So, Mr, uh, what's your last name?" Lizzie asked Hook.

"Jones." Hook replied.

"Right, Mr. Jones. You still didn't tell me how you got your hook?" Lizzie asked staring intensely at Hook.

My dad started to look uncomfortable. I gave Lizzie a look that made her stop talking.

"What was that all about?" I asked.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help it." Lizzie said. "Your dad's really hot."

I cringed really hard after what she said. I tried to get what she said out of my mind.

"Please don't say that ever again." I said.

Hook gave the address of Regina's house to Alaric so he could use his car to drive there. I decided to go in my parent's car since I haven't been in it for a while.

It felt so weird getting back into my mom's yellow bug. I missed the weird scent it always had and I missed the way it felt to sit in the front seat.

"So your friend, Lizzie." Hook said. "She's um, interesting."

"I know. I'm sorry about that. She's kind of weird in a good way though." I replied.

Regina's house was only 5 minutes away from Granny's Diner so we got there quick. We waited for Alaric and the other girls to arrive.

I knocked on the door first. I wanted my face to be the first thing she saw when she opened it.
After a couple of seconds, someone opened the door but it wasn't Regina. It was my brother, Henry.

"Hope! Hey!" Henry pulled me into a hug. "What are you doing here?"

"The real question is what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I forgot to tell you that Henry's going to stay here in Storybrooke for a bit." Emma said.

"I decided to visit my family for a week before I headed back to New York." Henry said. "You still didn't answer my question."

"We're here because I lost my necklace." I said. "Do you want to help us find it?"

"No offense, but I don't really want to get myself into any trouble especially since I have a girlfriend now." Henry said. "You guys are your own this time."

"I'm still wondering how that's possible." I said.

"That I'm not helping you?" Henry asked.

"No, how you have a girlfriend." I said.

The both of us started to laugh.

"I'm just kidding." Hope said. "I don't blame for you not helping us. Can you at least tell us where Regina is?"

"Fine she's in her vault." Henry said.

"Thanks Henry." I said. "Okay guys lets go."

"Good luck!" Henry said.

When we made it her to her vault, Emma decided to go inside to get her.

"Emma what are you doing here?" Regina asked.

"We need your help." Emma replied.

The rest of us got out of the cars and Regina froze when she saw Alaric's face.

"Alaric?" Regina said. "What the hell is he doing here?"

"I know I'm probably not the person you want to see right now, but this is important." Alaric said.

"I'm not helping you." Regina said.

"If you don't do it for me, do it for Hope" Alaric said pointing to me.

"Okay, fine I'll do it for her." Regina said. "What's the problem?"

We explained everything to Regina and then she decided to use a locator spell to find out where the monsters were.

"Okay, I got it. I know where the monsters and your necklace is." Regina said.

"Where?" I asked.

"In the mines." Regina said.
