Fuck it all. I'm so done with all this SHIT! Ugh. My magic bursts out of body, causing the paintings on my wall to crash and break. I scream, infuriated at everything and everyone because stupid, mindless, little fairytales are just that: stupid! "Ugh!" Tables throw themselves on the floor, tile begins to crack and mirrors break. My magic is just as uncontrollable as me. And I don't really care anymore. Why is everyone getting their stupid happy endings, and I can't have love for two-seconds?!

"Fuck!" I yell, hands slashing through the air, my house creaks in displeasure. The stupid freaking Charming's always get what they want! So what about me? I've suffered ENOUGH. I shouldn't have to be the one suffering all the damn time, the only one suffering!

I continue to scream and break things, finding no release in the destruction I'm causing in this stupid house, in this stupid world. I don't notice when a figure walks through my broken door, slowly moving towards me. I don't even notice when that very figure lifts their hands, and magic flows out, forming a shield around me. My magic then stops destroying my surroundings, and I scream again. "What the hell!" I spin at the intruder, glaring holes into her face, so fucking angry at her for ruining my chance at love.

"What the hell do you want, Emma! Haven't you done enough?" I try to push through the magical dome around me and my magic, but I'm not strong enough. Stupid freaking Light magic.

"Just calm down, Regina," she says softly, as if her sweet, familiar voice could calm me down.

I glare at her. "Don't you DARE tell me what to do, you traitor!" I scream and hit the shield, banging on it over and over and over. I do not give up when it doesn't budge. I hit and I cast spells, I chant old incantations, I don't give up. Her forehead wrinkles in concentration but I know that she's not strong enough to hold on for too long.

She sucks in a breath, staring me straight in the eyes, begging. But I don't miss a beat when the shield comes down. My magic pours through my veins and I thrash my hands towards her throat. She's thrown against the wall, crying out in pain.

And that was the moment when my heart turned black.
