Hi guys!
This is a one shot that popped into my head, I'm writing this to be centered around the time begining Season 4, where they discover the ice wall.
Enjoy :D
...
Regina runs through the woods.
Can it be true?
The girl that she had only seen for a second had reminded her so much of herself. Awakening past memories she had long since buried inside her.
She can hear the footsteps of two others behind her, trying to keep up with her.
No doubt Robin and Emma.
"Damn it Regina slow down!" Regina can hear muttered behind her.
Robin had instantly followed Regina as she started running after something or someone. His concern growing as he had never seen Regina run this fast.
How could such a small woman have this kind of stamina... In HEELS!
Emma had followed after Robin, both not being able to keep up to Regina's speed but keeping her in their line of sight. Regina has never run this fast in her life, she doesn't have stamina. She's running on adrenaline.
She's out of breath, her lungs screaming for air, her heart beating wildly in her chest.
She doesn't dare stop.
"Damn it! How is she still going?!" Emma says, having just tripped over a log. Scrambling to her feet trying to reach the woman who had just taken off in a blink of an eye, for no reason.
Regina runs until she finds the clearing. The clearing that looks just as it had in The Enchanted Forest.
A waterfall in the background, colors of all shades of blue as the water flows down, crashing into a small lake surrounding the waterfall. The sun reflecting off of the water as a slight mist of fog swarms around them . Trees of various shades of green engulf them.
There she is standing.
Regina stops at the sight of her. Breathing deeply, Regina just stops and stares. The girl's back is turned towards her, but Regina can tell, she knows.
Her long black hair flowing in waves down her back. A white dress adorning the girl's body. The girl stands there, staring at the waterfall.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Her voice is almost identical to Regina's, slightly younger but unmistakably resembling her voice.
"So unbelievably blue, the sound of water flowing... It's peaceful, don't you think?"
By now, Robin and Emma have caught up, staring in awe at the pair in front of them.
The girl slowly turns around, her bright blue eyes instantly finding Regina's. Regina finds herself out of breath, now for an entirely different reason than before, captivated by the sight in front of her.
She's beautiful.
She stares into her eyes, lost in the stunning beauty of them.
How is this possible?
"Jane?" Regina asks in a broken whisper.
The girl smiles brightly, as she breathes out, "Hi Mom."
