The Other Queen - 1

Chapter 1

My name is Oliver Queen. For five years I was stranded on an island with only one goal - survive. Now I will fulfill my father's dying wish - to use the list of names he left me and bring down those who are poisoning my city. To do this, I must become someone else. I must become something else. You've already heard my story but now it's time for you to hear that of my sister's, her name is Victoria Queen.

Starling City 2007

Robert Queen was packing some of his work papers into his briefcase at his home office when his daughter Victoria came into the room with a pointed look. He offered her a smile to which she only replied with a little half-hearted grin. Abandoning his work for the moment he turned his full attention to his daughter.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" he asked in concern.

"Nothing," Victoria lied with a sigh.

"No, there is something up with you?" he insisted.

Taking a deep breath Victoria replied, "Dad, I want to go to China with you and Oliver."

"No, that's out of the question," he replied seriously.

"Why?" Victoria asked confused.

"I need you to stay here and look over the company while I'm gone."

"I'm sure Walter Steele can watch over the company well enough. Dad, how many chances do you think I'll have to go to China again?"

"No, you are not coming," Robert Queen answered his 20 year old daughter.

"But Oliver gets to go. And he is the one that's going to inherit Queen Consolidated."

"Yes he is but right now him and I need some father and son time. And hopefully get him thinking more seriously about the company," Robert replied.

"But I've always wanted to go to China, please," Victoria said with a childish pout.

"No! and that's final!" her father declared firmly.

Robert Queen was traveling to China to oversee Queen Consolidated China. Victoria Emma Queen was his 20 year old daughter with bright blue eyes and blonde hair, not as light as Sara's but lighter than Oliver's. She was the middle child of Robert and Moira Queen, she was very close to her younger sister Thea. And she was the one use to spending extra time with her father because they had so much in common. Which was partly why she didn't understand why he wasn't letting her come.

Why does stupid playboy Oliver get to go and I can't. It's not fair. I'm the one who wants to see China. I wanted to see the Great Wall and other sights. All Oliver cares about is having a fun time. He wasn't going to really enjoy it as much as I would, Victoria thought bitterly.

So she sulked to her room and sat down on her bed with a scowl upon her face. Great I'm left to have to deal with mom for the next three weeks. Oh, joy to me…

She looked around her room and wondered what else she should do to entertain herself with while her father and brother were gone. She got up and went to her closet and pulled out her backpack. Just then an idea hit her. I'm still going on that boat with dad and Oliver. They just don't need to know before we are already on our way.

She threw in some snack foods, a bottle of water and two outfits. That should tie me over for a day or two. She thought with a smile. This is going to be great, I'll finally be able to see a country I've never been to before.

The Gambit was about to cast off so Victoria quickly and quietly jumped unto it and hide in a corner so no one would find her. Well not yet anyway. She watched in surprise as she noticed Sara Lance climbed aboard. Why is Laurel's sister here? she thought as she watch Oliver smile at her. If she was here for what Victoria thought she was here for then he was in big trouble. She shook her head. Oliver, when will you ever grow up?

#

It was getting dark and Victoria was starting to wonder if she should come out of hiding and see what was going on. She had already ate three of her snacks and she was starting to get tired of her trail mix that she was currently eating. Just then she heard foot steps towards her, faster than she could hide in the shadows her father saw her. Oh, no. I'm in trouble now.

"Tori?" her father asked using the nickname he had given her when she was just a child.

"Hi dad," Victoria answered shyly.

"Victoria Emma Queen, what in the hell are you doing here?" her father asked angrily.

"I'm sorry dad," she said bowing her head. "I really wanted to go. So I climbed aboard when you guys weren't look," she explained.

"You disobeyed me," he shouted, looking angry.

Luckily for Victoria, when it came to his children, Robert Queen's bark was worse than his bite. Victoria slowly crawled out of her hiding place, with her backpack on her. Just then they heard loud thunder and before they knew it...

Chaos, her father and the Captain grabbed life jackets and a lifeboat, she felt one being put on her. Water was splashing all around here. She moved her arms to order to keep afloat but she had no idea what was going on. Her head was spinning and she could faintly hear voices a little bit away from where she was. Her father and the captain grabbed her and took her into the lifeboat. A few feet away The Gambit was sinking into the ocean. Next thing Victoria noticed was her dad pulling Oliver out of the water. She realized then that someone was missing, she couldn't remember who but there was one less of them than there should be. Wait a minute where is Sara? Oliver beside her was screaming for Sara.

"She's gone," Robert said to Oliver.

Victoria wrapped her arms around herself. This couldn't be happening, She told herself over and over again.. She realized then how cold she was but there were no towels or blankets to dry herself off. She found herself getting closer to her brother and taking comfort from their shared body heat. At least I'm not going to freeze to death.

Victoria felt so surreal, like her body was floating out of herself. What felt like days passed, nothing happened they were stuck on a lifeboat and they didn't have much food.

"There is only enough food for two," the captain said.

Next thing Oliver and Victoria knew their dad had grasped the captains gun and had shot him. What the hell is going on? Victoria thought with baited breath.

"Dad, what the hell?" Oliver asked.

"There is only enough food for the both of you," Robert explained. "I'm not the man you think I am," he remarked.

"Dad, let's just sleep," Oliver said.

"You two can survive this, make it home. Make it better, right my wrongs, but you have to live through this first."

Then he brought the gun up to his head. Victoria felt herself move forward in order to grab the gun from her father. "Survive," he said calmly, then he pulled the trigger.

Victoria was first in shock then she couldn't seem to stop shaking. She held her hands up to her mouth and felt tears rolling down her cheeks down to her neck. No! No! Dad can't be gone. He can't. Dad come back. Dad! Her brain screamed as she felt strong arms wrap around her. In between the sobs she could make out Oliver trying to calm her down but she couldn't. She couldn't seem to stop the assault of screams and tears. To say that she was a mess was an understatement, more like traumatized. No, no. This can't be happening. Why is this happening? Dad just come back. Please come back. I can't do this without you. We can't do this without you. Come back!

Finally, all her tears seemed to be spent and all Victoria could manage to do was stare at the bloody mess that hours ago had been her father. Oliver watched her in concern and slowly made his way to their father. Slowly he covered him up with a large piece of cloth he found. He couldn't take looking at his father like that. And from the look on his sister's face he half worried that by simply looking at their father's dead form that she would go mad. She was the person he had to look after now. He thought as he came over to her once more and held her close in his arms.

Hours passed and birds came, Oliver shooed them away, Victoria felt so tired, her eyes dropped and she fell asleep with Oliver watching over her.

Oliver watched his little sister fall asleep, he had always been sort of protective of her. He wasn't going to let anything hurt her.

#

Days and days went by and nothing, then they saw it, an island. It was large, covered in green and it had an uninviting look. They rowed to the island with their arms. They pulled the boat to shore and pulled the bag with their father in it out onto the beach. On the beach they fell down and slept, their bodies felt so looked into all of their father's pockets for anything that was his, he found a journal with a circular symbol on it, but seemingly felt so tired that both of them fell fast asleep on the beach away from the water.

#

When they awoke Oliver and Victoria walked around a little and found the perfect place to bury their father. They placed stone on top of stone until he was covered.

"Goodbye dad," Oliver said.

"Goodbye dad," Victoria said with tears.

Victoria had always been a daddy's girl, she loved both of her parents, but she knew she had a special place in her father's heart. She was his first little girl. She wiped away the tears that flowed from her eyes. She was tired and wary, all she wanted was to be back home.

Oliver and Victoria hugged and were heading back to the beach, when Victoria noticed Oliver had been hit with an arrow in the right shoulder. Then she felt pain in her own shoulder, she started to lose consciousness when she saw someone in a green hood.
