I do NOT own the characters or OUAT.

Just an idea, I really like stories where Regina is dark and closed off. Slight slow burn. This just came to me! I really want to know what you guys think!

Chapter 1

Pastor David Swan sat in his office after service on the first Sunday in June, he was watching a recording of himself from earlier that day. He does it to decide on what he needs to charge or fix in his sermons, he paused when heard a knock on the door.

"Ah Henry, please come in," David smiled Henry Mills, Beaufort, South Carolina's wealthiest resident. He owned most of the property and his own construction company.

"Good afternoon David, great sermon earlier," he smiled as he sat in from of the pastor's desk. He and David didn't always see eye to eye but they were friends.

"What brings you in?" David asked.

"Well I wanted you to be the first to know...my daughter is coming back in town and I would appreciate it if you could install forgiveness in this town. I want her to feel comfortable," Henry sighed.

"R-Regina is coming back to town, that's fantastic. I will let everyone know that they should be open minded at the next city council meeting," he stated.

"Thank you, I really appreciate it," Henry said, "What she did...those years ago-"

"No need to apologize or explain Henry, all is forgiven. The lord wouldn't want us to live with hate in our hearts or hold grudges," David gave a reassuring smile.

Henry smiled back, "Great. How is Emma? Can't believe she's 16 already."

"Me either, my baby is growing up fast. She's great, she did really well in school this year, she's a good girl," David smiled proudly.

"Staying away from boys I hope," Henry teased.

"Oh yes of course, Emma knows better. She's so beautiful, every boy tries to get their filthy hands on her but I protect her to my best ability and so does her brother," David said seriously.

"Great. Her and Lily have gotten so close since you all moved back, my daughter is always happy with her best friend," Henry stated.

"Yes, same with Emma, we have a pair of good girls Henry, I hope this summer will keep it that way," David sighed.

"Faster Emma!" Lily yelled as her and Emma rode their horses through the sunset.

Emma laughed as she rode Ryder (Her horse) through the countryside. They loved living in a small town, it was nothing but room to roam and be free. She slowed down as they came to an abandoned house, it was easy to tell it had been burnt down and barely stood on its own.

"Woah...is this the house everyone is always talking about?" Emma asked, she'd never seen it only heard.

"Uh yeah," Lily cleared her the ought, "Emma those stories aren't always true..."

"Relax Lil, I didn't even know your sister, how can I judge her or your family based on rumors? What happened anyways?" The gorgeous 16 year old asked.

"Regina is troubled, she's not like..us, that's all. Nothing major, come on, let's head back, this place gives me the creeps," Lily said before riding off.

Emma was still confused, what did she mean by troubled? When was she ever going to get the truth about that house? And why Regina left in the first place or why she was even coming back? She shrugged it off from now and followed her best friend.

Emma walked into her house at 6 pm, she was just in time for dinner, she walked into the kitchen with a concerned look on her face, "Hey ma?"

Mary-Margaret turned from the stove, "Yes sweetie?"

"How come everybody knows about Regina Mills but me? And why is it such a big deal that she's coming back?" Emma asked.

"Well Emma, you were very shy when Regina was around, you should remember her though. When she was about 14, something terrible happened and her father sent her away to New York to live with her mother...to straighten her out I guess. She was a troublemaker, probably still is but what she did should be forgiven. Don't worry about the people in this town sweetie, they will judge her but it's not really a big that she's coming back," Mary-Margaret shrugged.

Emma sighed, she still didn't have much detail, "Well...what do you think about her?"

"I-...it doesn't matter what I think. She's four years older than you though Emma, so when she gets here...I don't want you hanging out with her, ok?" She asked her 16 year old.

"Yes ma'am. Is dinner almost ready?" Emma asked.

A week had passed since Emma talked to her mom about Regina. It was now Friday, the last day of school and Emma couldn't be more happy.

"We are going to have so much fun this summer!" Lily exclaimed as her and Emma walked out of English.

"Yeah I can't wait. Hopefully my dad will let me go out with Neal," Emma said.

Lily blushed, "He really likes you Em, you should hear him talking about you."

Emma wore a white dress that stopped about mid-thigh and white heels, "I don't even look that cute today."

"You look hot," Lily chuckled as she pushed back Emma's hair a little, the golden locks looked so cute curled.

Emma blushed, "I doubt it."

Lily knew her best friend was insecure at times but she had no reason to be, "Emma you're beautiful, stop doubting yourself."

"I'm not I just-"

"Yo yo ladies, I just know you two are coming to my end of the year party," Robin Hood, the school's official fuck boy, stated as she draped his arms around them.

"Uh no thanks," Emma said as she wiggled out of his grasp.

"Of course little miss church girl is going to say no, daddy wouldn't even let you out the house would he?" Robin teased, "How about you Lily?"

"I'll be there, might bring my sister," she smirked.

"That's fine by me, I'm not scared of her like everyone else," He shrugged as he walked away, he paused and turned, "By the way Emma, you're looking good, makes me want to do sinful things to you," he winked before walking off.

Emma shivered, "He's disgusting."

"So disgusting but his party is going to be fun, you should see if your dad will let you come," Lily stated, "Hey isn't your brother coming home from college today?"

"He came home last night while I was sleep, I haven't even seen him," Emma shrugged.

"Well maybe your dad will let you go if he comes too," Lily suggested.

"I don't know Lil, my dad is very protective of me," Emma reminded.

"I know but come on Emma, it's summer!" Lily reminded.

"Yeah yeah I know that Lily," the blonde sighed, "I'll ask him ok?"

"Yay!" Lily smiled.

Lily walked outside with Emma with a bright smile on her face, "I can't believe school is out."

Emma smiled back, "Me either, is it weird that I just want to nap?"

"For you? Nope not weird at all," Lily chuckled, "You always want to sleep."

"Oh hush," Emma pushed her a little.

An all black Camero pulled up in front of the school, a brunette stepped out with sunglasses on, a black tank top, black jeans and red vans. She sighed before leaning on her hood.

Lily glanced at the girl quickly before snapped her head at her again, "Gigi?!"

Regina smiled and took off her glasses, "Hi spider monkey."

"Oh my god no way!" Lily yelled as she ran over and hugged her sister.

Regina hugged her back when she pulled away she spotted a nervous Emma watching them. She bit her lip as she checked Emma out, "Mm who is that?"

"Oh that's my best friend Emma, can she ride with us home?" Lily asked with a poked out lip.

"Yeah sure whatever," Regina shrugged.

Regina didn't talk much, she was very odd if you asked Emma. She seemed...dark. Emma found herself staring at the beautiful brunette, she had never been attracted to girls, she wasn't sure if she was attracted to Regina or not but she couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful she was.

"Em you're going to ask your dad if you can come tonight right?" Lily asked as they pulled up to Emma's house.

"Yeah Lil, he'll probably say no though," Emma sighed as she got out the car, "Thank you Regina," she mumbled softly.

"Welcome kid," Regina smirked.

Emma blushed, the girl had made her blush, that's NEVER happened before. What was this girl doing to her?

"Em," Lily said snapping her out of her thoughts, "Heels..."

Emma looked down at her heels, "Oh shit," she began to take them off.

Lily shook her head, "You have to stop hiding who you are Em."

"I know but not yet," she said putting her heels in her backpack and slipping on her flats. She noticed Regina watching her and began to blush, "I'll uh see you guys later, at the party."

Dark eyes watched the blonde go into her house, she was so cute and innocent, and intriguing. Regina thought back to Danielle and her mistake with her, she couldn't go through that again so she needed to stay away from Emma Swan.

Please let me know what you think?! One of my stories is ending soon so why not have another teenage SQ story?! Should this be G!P Regina or nah?! Should I continue!?
