Heartless

Regina paces in front of her desk, taking care not to step on her flowing black silk gown. "I need a plan." she mutters to herself angrily. "Something that will destroy Emma Swan." That name tastes bitter on her tongue.

Zelena sits on her couch, sipping some coffee. "We both have magic. Why not just send her to hell again?"

Regina stops pacing and turns toward Zelena. "I'm not talking about killing her. That's too easy. She has to suffer as I have suffered."

Zelena sets down her mug and leans back against the couch. "Take some advice from me, dear sister. As this is all about losing Robin-"

Regina is at Zelena's side and grasps her throat tightly. "If you say his name again, I will kill you." she growls.

"I don't think so." Zelena whispers.

"Try me." Regina says, anger flashing in her eyes as she starts to grin and squeeze harder.

"All right. I'm sorry." Zelena wheezes, and Regina lets go. She walks back to her desk as Zelena coughs and gasps for air.

"As you were saying?" Regina questions, as if the last few seconds had been a normal conversation.

Zelena clears her throat. "I was saying that instead of hurting her, we could hurt the ones she loves. It worked all the time back in Oz."

Regina thinks this over and slowly a plan starts formulating in her mind. "I know exactly what I'll do."

"What?" Zelena demands. "Kill her family?"

"No." Regina says, turning to face her. "I'm going to steal Killian's heart."
