Regina is already awake and yet the curse is still unbroken. She cannot allow it to be broken or her son will die. She has searched all the books she was able to recover and she found none to counter the poison in his heart. In her frustrations, she threw the glass of whisky she's holding on to the wall.
"I always like your temper. It's adorable", Facilier said.
She didn't hear him came in the bar though she's not surprised. Henry mentioned the lights went odd when he entered the place yesterday.
"So now you know me? You're not going to pretend you're cursed?" she asked.
Facilier smiled as he walks towards the bar.
"You always did know me. I was just making sure if you're awake or not. Tell me, what that wall did to you for you to throw that glass onto it", he answered.
"This curse, I can't allow it to break because it will kill my son. Gothel poisoned his heart. The only reason he's alive right now is because there's no magic in this land", Regina said.
He sat on the chair and stared at her as she loses her patience.
"Who says there's no magic in this land?" Facilier asked.
Regina looked at him with questioning look.
"How were you able to get yours? Even Rumple doesn't have magic here", she asked.
"Meet me tonight at my apartment and I'll show you. You'll help your son better if you can have your magic back. You know that", he answered.
She weighs it for a moment. He has a point. If things get worse and it comes down to a fight, she'll need her magic to defend her family.
"Fine but no games. I don't have time for that", she agreed.
It made the man happy. He got up and went to her behind the bar. Her mind is telling her to step back and keep her distance but her body won't move. Her heart is beating faster. It's been so long and yet the man still has a grip on her she couldn't shake. He's making her knees weak. She looked at his face and then to his eyes. They're melting her. For a moment, she forgot all of her problems. All she can think about is him. Then, he gently touches her face and it tingles. He is breaking her walls.
"You know I don't play games with you, my queen", he said.
It's done. Her walls had been shattered to pieces and all she wanted right now is to touch him and be with him.
"Get away from her", Rumple suddenly said.
They both turned to him in the middle of the bar. He is furious at the sight he's seeing. Facilier smiled at the Dark One but didn't let go of Regina's face. Regina, however, is conflicted. She still doesn't want to stay away from Facilier but she knows Rumple doesn't want her to be with him either.
"I said get away from her", Rumple repeated.
He may not have magic in Hyperion Heights but he is an excellent user of his firearms. Facilier nodded and turned to Regina. He stepped closer and put a kiss on her forehead which caught her off-guard.
"I'll see you later", he said before he walks away from her and Rumple and then left the bar.
Regina remains behind the bar still in shock. Her body still has a hangover from being near Facilier and it is very evident in her eyes.
"Please tell me you're not falling for that man again", Rumple said to her.
She grabbed a bottle of tequila behind her and poured it into two shot glasses. She quickly drank one.
"He paid me a visit and we talked. That's all", she lied.
Of course it's a lie. She wanted to follow him wherever he wants. That's how deep she has fallen for the guy and Rumple knows it too.
"I think you need to refresh your memory, dearie. You almost die the last time you were with him. I used up a hell lot of magic just to bring you back and I almost failed. We have lots of problems right now and we don't need another one, Regina", he said.
"I know we have lot of problems right now. It's my son who is going to die if this curse gets broken. It will be a lot easier if our problem is how to break it but it's not because Henry and Ella are doing the work for that. If this curse gets broken before I am able to find a way to keep him alive, it's over. Oh, and yes, I remember about that. You brought me back so I can cast your curse so if Henry dies, there's no need for you to bring me back. I'd rather be dead too", Regina replied and left him.
Regina went inside her room upstairs the bar. She needs some peace and quiet. She knows Rumple is only concern. She's a bit harsh on him but she doesn't like it when he's right. Facilier is never been good for her. He always brings the worst in her. She also knows that without magic, there's nothing she can do to help her son. She lies down and closes her eyes then she falls asleep.
You did all of these?
We can talk about this back in the castle if you can stop using magic.
Stop using it? You taught me how to use it, remember? Aren't you proud? I got better at it more than you can imagine.
It was all your doing…you put this all in her head!
I didn't do anything Dark One. I just let her know the truth.
That wasn't the entire truth, Regina.
What? The fact that you and my mother just struck out a deal so you can have someone to cast your precious curse? I don't think I need much details to that.
Regina, stop…
No, can't do, dearie.
Then, a loud explosion bombed the place
Regina got up panting. She realized she's still in her bedroom. It's all a dream.
"It's all a dream", she said to herself.
Although she knows…it's not a dream. It's a memory.
