Regina had lost two things that she loved mosted. Though most thought she had only lost one, Henry. But the other the one she may never admit, especially to the Charmings, Emma Swan.
As she walked with the Charmings and a few others to her castle. Since theirs had been destroyed in her curse. Snow must have realized something was bugging her.
"Hey, are you okay?" Snow asked.
"No."
"You're thinking about Henry, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am always thinking about him."
It wasn't a complete lie. She thought about Henry most of the time. Yet, as of recently she had been thinking of that idiotic Savior, Emma Swan. Out of all the people in the world of who should would not tell she is in love with Emma Swan. Is her mother, Snow White. The woman she had tried to destroy multiple times. Yeah, she wouldn't tell her anytime soon.
"You will find your happy ending, Regina." Snow finally said.
"Not in this world." She replied.
Eventually the arrived at Regina's castle. She had put a protection spell on the castle so it wouldn't be affected. When she tried to take down, it had thrown her back. It was clear that it had been tampered with. Which she told to the Charmings.
After encountering her new found sister, taking down the protection spell from inside the castle. Also trying to put a sleeping curse on herself, which ultimately failed. Regina decided to leave the Charmings to run the kingdom, by a note. Yet, like always Snow caught before she could leave.
"Regina, where ... what are you wearing?" Snow asked.
"Oh, um nothing important. I'm just going on a little trip."
"You're lying."
"Well, all you need to know is you don't know everything about me."
Before Snow had a chance to do or say anything. Regina had gotten on her horse and ridden off into the distance.
"What happened?" David asked.
"I think Regina may be a pirate." Snow replied.
Emma had been cooking breakfast for herself and Henry. When she heard a knock at the door.
"Were you expecting somebody?" Henry asked.
"No." Emma replied.
Emma goes to open the door to reveal Regina, though Emma didn't remember her. You probably wouldn't recognize her either.
Though Regina had not been able to change out of her pirate clothes. Luckily Emma did not instantly slam the door on her. She was also glad she was able to hide her Katana blades in a bag.
"Emma." Regina said.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Emma replied.
"It's me, Regina. Though you probably don't remember me. Your family is in terrible and you need to remember."
"My family is right here. I don't know who you are but you need to leave, now."
"Emma"
Emma closes the door on Regina.
"Who was that?" Henry asked.
"I have no idea. Somebody must have left the door open downstairs." Emma replied.
After a long search for the Jolly Roger, Regina finally decided to retire at a Tavern. She hoped that blasted Captain Hook hadn't taken her ship, again. Luckily nobody here recognized her for who she really. It still surprised her to this day. A change of clothes, a different hair style, a braid like she use to wear, a slight change in her voice, some Katana blades and boom nobody recognized you. Here she was called Captain Katana. It must have been her talent with her Katana blades.
After a few drinks Regina decided she needed some fresh air and exited the Tavern.
Suddenly she felt somebody grab her and held a knife to her throat.
"Move or I'll slit your throat."
"Do you even know who I am?" Regina asked.
"I know exactly who you are Captain Katana, and you're going to pay for what you did."
"Who do yo exactly think you are?"
Regina couldn't really tell who it was probably because whoever it was behind her. Also it could be from the rum and the person gripping her neck fairly tightly.
"My name is Ariel."
