AN: Here's the next installment. Let me know.. Eh?
She banged on the door hard until finally a light came on. She saw Rumple walking slowly, limping to the door. "Is Regina still here?" She said quietly. "Did it work?"
"Regina?" He frowned. "Of course not. Everyone knows she left town a week ago Miss Swan." Emma's eyes widened. "What? Why did she leave? How? With who?"
"She left for Boston after Robin... Had his accident.." He said. "But of course you know that, you caused it." He said cruelly.
Emma froze and bit her lip.. then she turned and walked away. He was lying, he had to have been lying. She stalked through Main Street until she ended up on Mifflin street. She stopped the moment she saw it.
A 'For Sale' sign, in front of the mayoral mansion..
Regina got up at seven am every morning, and just sat in her room. She didn't want anyone to know where she was until she had fully grieved. She was glad Granny owed her a huge favor, otherwise everyone would know she was still in Storybrooke, plotting. Regina had everything she needed to replicate Zelena's spell without causing anyone any harm, or pain. Only to bring back her second chance. To bring back her lover. She had fallen hopelessly for the thief, and it was scary. It turned out that all of her insecurities came true.
Evil doesn't get a happy ending.
But she would. All she had to do was make her way to the stables tonight and pour her potion, the portal would open and she would have her life back. No more crying, no more holding onto his leather vest for dear life to fall asleep. Her mascara stains would be no more. Her confidence in herself was minimal, but she knew she could fix it. She knew she could.
She showered, letting the scalding hot water wash away her pain. Her skin was begining to feel a little raw with the heat pouring down, but it was a nice sensation. She turned off the water, a creaking noise coming from the nob as she turned it. As the fallen queen stepped out of the shower, she wrapped a large teery cloth towel around her naked torso. She didn't feel like getting dressed, but she had to. Regina snapped her fingers and with a poof, she was dressed. All black of course, for her temporary mourning. Her tight pants tucked into riding boots and her shirt tucked loosely into her pants. It would have to do.
She awaited nightfall, then magically proofed herself to the stables, a messenger bag slung over her shoulder with the potion and a few necessities she would need to complete her task. Regina focused her mind on her plan, not darkness, not evil, but love. She thought, perhaps if she focused on love, and used light magic, then maybe it would work better. Messing with the past was no joke.
She stood silently for a few minutes and then she began. she relaxed her mind, focusing on only Robin Hood, what she felt for him, how they were together. her mind was clear except for Robin as she grabbed the potion. She poured it into a circle and waited.
she took a deep breath, fifteen minutes had gone by and still nothing. As she gave up, gathered her things and prepared to leave, a powerful force ripped open the ground where she pour the potion and sucked Regina into it, her messenger bag and all.
Emma sat on Regina's porch and sighed. What could she have done to Robin? Surely it wasn't on purpose? Surely it was an accident. How did this happen? All she did was go back to the Enchanted Forest. How did she end up killing Robin Hood? She was on the verge of breaking down once again. Emma was the reason Regina was hurt... Again.
She bit her lip and looked up in the sky, for a sign... And Emma Swan got one. A bright Yellow, Green, and Blue shining light lit up the sky, and Emma rushed towards it.
Emma watched Regina get sucked into the portal, and she was confused. Emma instinctively jumped in after her, not knowing what, why or where.. She was floating through the portal, she felt like she was falling, slowly, like she had been before. She didn't see Regina anywhere. Suddenly, she hit the ground, hard. Her head smacked off of the ground and she groaned.
"Miss Swan? What the hell? Did you follow me?!" It was Regina.. Fuck. She was pissed, Emma's vision was coming back and she looked up at the angry woman. "Why did you follow me?!"
"I thought you were in Boston.. I have no idea what is going on, I thought you were in danger.. And I thought everything would be okay when I came back from the Enchanted Forest..." She was rambling and Regina was becoming even more pissed by the second.
Regina was getting even more confused by the minute. Emma in the Enchanted Forest? Emma was the one who killed her lover, she murdered him. Suddenly Regina snapped and her fingers closed around the savior a neck. She watched as the woman's face looked surprised and then began to turn purple. She felt the satisfaction of avenging his death. And then she was snapping out of it, turning away from Emma, whom was gasping for breath and coughing hard. "What do you mean you we're in the Enchanted Forest?" Regina knew Emma couldn't answer immediately, due to her choking noises. So, she waited a few moments.
She listened to Emma's story with very little interest, until she spoke about how she brought Marian back to Storybrooke. She told Regina about the sleeping curse, About Henry and how she smiled while she was asleep. When she finished Regina was in tears.
"Y-you were trying to help? And you made it worse.."
"Kind of.. Yea, but I need to know how I killed Robin? Supposedly." Emma said, Regina could tell she was trying to piece everything together.
"Zelena had ahold of Henry, and you had your gun aimed, she nearly cut his throat until Robin jumped to save him. All I remember is a gunshot and Robin was bleeding in my arms... Square in the heart Emma. He was dead instantly." Her tears flowed freely.
"Why did we go through this portal?"
"To stop you." she said seriously. "I safely duplicated Zelena's spell to come back and keep you from shooting him."
Emma looked a bit mad. "What were you going to do kill me?"
"No. I'm going to take your gun before you go to the docks." She said. "I loved him Emma, I loved him so much. You do not understand what this is like for me!" She said angrily.
emma looked at the broken woman and nodded. "Then lets go stop me?"
