CHAPTER 1
Regina glared at the blonde haired savior one last time, forcing herself not to look at Robin embracing his-very-much-alive wife before she stormed out the diner, slamming the door. Her heels clicked hard against the ground as she made her way back home. She looked back once, her heart sinking when she didn't see the thief come chasing after her. And why would he? She thought bitterly. He had his family back while Regina was left standing alone, again. And suddenly she was just tired, so very tired.
Throwing her heels off, Regina made her way straight toward the kitchen straight toward her liquor cabinet. Not bothering to take out glasses, she drank directly from the bottle, closing her eyes as the alcohol made its way down her throat. Her eyes snapped open when she heard the doorbell ring. She wrenched it open hoping it was Robin, feeling somewhat disappointed that it was Henry instead.
"Hey mom, mind if I stay with you tonight?" She smiled knowing he came to make her feel better and the gesture lifted her heart up a little.
"Of course sweetheart."
She couldn't do it. There was a part if her that desperately wanted to become the Evil Queen again, lash out at everyone and everything around her and suck the happiness out of those who did her wrong, namely a certain princess and maid. But Henry convinced her not to. Think of it from Emma's perspective, he said. She's the savior, it's her job to save people. You can't blame her for giving a child his mother back. As much as she hated to admit it, she knew he was right and she laughed, when did Henry get so mature?
She brushed the hair off Henry's forehead, watching him sleep for a couple of moments before she bent down and pressed a kiss to his cheek, maybe for the last time.
Snapping her suitcase closed, she slowly made her way down the stairs, committing the place to her memory. Once outside, she placed a protective spell on the house. She had already called Emma only stating she had to over immediately before hanging up. By the time they arrived, she would be long gone.
Standing right by the edge of the town line, she hesitated. Was this really the only choice she had left? She was no longer a villain and if Hook, a villain turned hero could get a happy ending, then so could she. She would have her happiness, with or without Robin.
She stepped over the line and her mind went hazy as her memory began disappearing, but not before hearing a very familiar male voice call out, "Regina!"
