A New Beginning
Summary: Regina's inner thoughts as she rips the young girl's heart out. Spoilers for "The Doctor".
Note: This is my first story. Oneshot. I do not and never will own OUaT and its characters.
"What's this?" Regina asks, her voice dripping with malice , and sounded venomous.
She had replaced her innocent voice into a deep, dark tone. And her clothes, instead of her casual yet elegant clothing, here she stood all in black, from leather jacket to leather pants. To sum it all up, she looked both intimidating and menacing.
"Your new replacement of course," Rumplestiltskin replied. " I needed someone more...dedicated."
Regina raised an eyebrow.
"Dedicated?" she repeated, eyes flashing dangerously. Yes, it was true. She had not exactly done well with his lessons, but she had been working hard to try to get Daniel back. Now, for sure, she can't.
Pain suddenly overtakes her eyes before she slipped on the cold, hard mask back onto her face. Regina then slowly turned on her heel to face the imp's new "pupil".
And following into her mother...no - monster's footsteps, she plunged in her fist into the young girl's chest, hands meeting flesh, and ripped the beating heart from her chest. A gasp escaped the girl's throat. The Queen almost felt sorry, instantly reminding her of Daniel, but quickly pushed the thought to the back of her mind.
A wicked smile overtook her features. She wanted to prove dear old Rumplestiltskin that she was indeed capable of murder, and that she was most definitely not weak.
Regina faced Rumplestiltskin, as he watched in glee as the scene unfolded before him. Watched as his favourite pupil do what he wanted her to do.
Grasping the heart within her hands, she crushed it slowly. Regina then remembered how many times Rumplestiltskin had called her weak, and that made her furious, causing her grip on the glowing, red beating heart to tighten.
The young girl leaned forward, whimpering and writhed in pain...the pain slowly killing her.
Regina smirked in satisfaction. Regina knew how painful the pain in the young girl's chest was like, but that was nothing compared to what living hell Regina had gone through most of her life.
This would be the final straw. She would kill her, and prove that imp what exactly she was capable of.
Her grip now fully tightened on the fragile heart, she squeezed on the heart harder, hands shaking slightly, until all that was left was black dust.
The girl's screams of torture had stopped.
She had done it; she has become exactly like her mother. A monster... something she promised to herself that she wouldn't become. Ever.
Just for a split second, pain tugged at her heart as she remembered how her beloved Daniel was ripped away from her... her final ray of hope...her last chance at true happiness. Then the Queen realized what she had just done. She had succeeded. Pride washed through her, making her feel a lot better and cunning.
Now, she felt truly cold and empty. Regina actually couldn't believe it- she'd actually done it! And all of the sudden, it felt as though darkness had begun to seep its way around her heart.
"Now... where were we?" she asked coldly, in a regal manner, wiping off the remains of the dust to the ground, not caring at all. She smiled at him wickedly.
Rumplestiltskin giggled his maniacal laughter. Regina couldn't help it too, and she let out a deep, bone chilling laugh that echoed throughout the forest.
This was it. The start to a new beginning. A new beginning to a path of darkness and loneliness.
