She wandered aimlessly around the Enchanted Forest, not caring where her destination lead her next. Her sword bounced lightly at her waist, her trousers and shirt soaked with sweat. It was unnaturally hot on this autumn day. She was searching for someone. Someone who cared for her when she was younger. Who saved her life over and over each time they met. She heard of a new land, a new land where her mistress resided…
"Hey Mom!" The now, 12 year old boy bounced in the white house, his mother waiting for him in the living room.
"Hello Henry, how was school?" The woman smiled, glad to see her son again this week. Her smile reached her eyes as Henry sat down and gave her a small hug. Regina loved Henry more than anything and missed him greatly.
"It was good, Grandma is still a good teacher." The woman inwardly winced. She was still getting used to the fact that her son was Snow White's grandson. The woman who brought her much pain and suffering…she was trying. Trying for Henry to play nice with his grandparents and his birth mother, Emma.
"Well I'm glad you're getting the education you need." She smiled and kissed his head. Henry was her little prince, and he meant everything to her. She hated this town, everyone hated her, but…Henry made everything worth it.
"Emma wanted me to tell you hello for her, and that she'd bring by some stuff from Granny's diner." Regina blinked. Emma? Of all people, the Charming's daughter.
"Well…that was very nice of her." She said, still surprised by the comment. Henry noticed his mother's confusion and smiled.
The two ate a little snack, then Regina helped Henry with his homework, which took some time, even Regina struggled.
"This is 6th grade stuff, why is it so hard?" She muttered. He giggled.
"Because you're from the Enchanted Forest, and not America." Regina rolled her eyes, Henry is learning her sass, slowly but surely. Her doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Henry rushed to the front door, "Hi Emma!"
"Hey kid." The blonde answered, hugging her child. Regina sighed, her quality time with Henry over. She walked to the front door and was greeted by the blonde. Her red leather jacket soaked because of the rain.
"When did it start raining?" Regina asked, wondering why she didn't hear the noise of the water droplets on her windows.
"When I left the station, it was pouring, but it's lightened up." Emma answered, shivering.
"Take your jacket off, you're getting my floor wet, Henry, go put a couple towels in the dryer." Henry smiled and obeyed his mother, happy that the two women were getting along.
"What can I help you with Miss Swan?" Regina asked, searching Emma's jade green eyes.
"Actually…there's a heavy trail of blood leading from the town line into the forest." Regina's heart stopped, the sheriff didn't think she had anything to with it, did she?
"You don't think-"Emma raised a hand.
"No, we found…a bloodied animal, a wolf, black and white markings, we're wondering if its-Regina?" She noticed the woman had gone quite pale, her dark eyes were wide.
"Where is it?" She asked.
"Do you-"
"Where. Is. It?" Emma was taken aback at Regina's sudden aggressiveness.
"At…the shelter." She answered. Henry come bounding back, with hot towels in his arms.
"Here Emma!" Emma smiled and patted the kid on his head.
"Thanks kiddo." She took off her jacket and wrapped the white towel over her. Regina looked scared…and worried, which was odd. Who could be here that Regina cares about? She watched the woman bite her lip.
"Tell them to move the animal to the hospital." Emma looked at her confused.
"Regina, an animal goes to the vet-"
"I know that!" Regina snapped, "She's not an animal, she's a person."
The wolf shook its head, its vision blurry. She heard voices, but none of them were her mistress. It tried to stand, but its legs refused to move, it whimpered.
"Poor dear." She heard a familiar voice, it wasn't her mistress, but she knew the voice. The voice of Her Majesty, Snow White. The felt a hand on her fur, stroking it softly, she heard the queen say something, but unconsciousness took her back over.
Regina rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible, she was biting her lip. How did the wolf make it over to Storybrooke? She felt the tears prick her eyes.
"Regina, I have to go." The betraying words struck Regina in the heart.
"But…but you told me to-"
"Regina, I can't…as much as I want you to come with me…you can't. Just…stay strong, don't let your mother get to you." Soft blue eyes welled with tears.
"Blair." The word came out hushed, she bite her lip and raced as fast as possible to the hospital.
"Why did Emma make us bring her here?" Snow asked, looking at her husband. The man shrugged, looking at the wolf on the bed.
"Maybe Regina told her something, maybe it's a person." He suggested, laying his hand on Snow's shoulder. She looked back at the animal, her eyes widen.
"David." Hearing Snow's surprise in her voice, he looked at the hospital bed. There was a young girl sitting up, holding her stomach. Her black hair in a low ponytail. She looks at the king and queen and smiles, blood coming out of her mouth.
"Your Majesties, it's good to see you again." Her voice is low, and scratchy, she bows her head, putting her fist over her heart. Snow gasps and rushes over to her.
"Blair!" She hugs the woman tightly, wiping her hair from her forehead.
"What on earth happened?!" Blair hissed as a shock of pain went through her stomach.
"Some bandits... they didn't leave me alone." David and Snow looked at each other, they both knew the wolf girl was a gentle beast, even in her wolf form.
"Blair." The girl perked up. A grin spread across her beaten, bloody, face. Snow moved back when she saw Regina enter the room.
"My mistress!" Regina covered her hand over her mouth.
"Who…?" She asked, walking over to her.
"Just some bandits." Regina clenched her fists, wanting to hurt the men who hurt the wolf girl. Blair looked at Regina, smiling. She rested her hand on the queen's forearm. "Regina, it's okay I'm here now, with you." She smiled, and started coughing. The former queen laid the girl down gently and pushed her hair out the way.
"You…rest up. I'll return soon." She smiled, kissing the girl on the forehead. She approached Snow and her husband.
"How do you-"Snow began, but Regina cut her off.
"If something happens to her while I'm gone and I don't get an update, I will kill both of you." Regina hissed out, narrowing her eyes. Snow glared back and started to say something, but David beat her to it.
"Don't worry Regina. She'll be fine, I'll call you as soon as something happens." He said, smiling, trying to water down the mayor's threat. For a moment, Regina looked relived, but threw up her walls again, and with a smirk, replied.
"Good," She walked away, out the doors. Snow crossed her arms disapprovingly.
"What's her issue?" She mumbled. David looked at the now asleep girl.
"It seems Her Highness has a history with the wolf." David inquired, ignoring his wife's scoff about the assumption.
Regina bit her lip walking towards the station, back to Emma. She sighed deeply as she walked into the Sheriff's office. Emma and Henry were throwing paper in a waste basket.
"Glad to know this is what you do in your spare time." She crossed her arms, leaning against the doorframe. Emma jumped out of her seat.
"Regina! Hi…" The blonde smiled. Henry snickered, earning a glare from the blonde.
"Did you find anything else when you found the Blair…the wolf." She answered the question on Emma's face.
"No, no footprints, human footprints anyway, just her." Regina nodded, thinking.
"How do you know her?" Henry piped up, looking at his two moms. Regina smiled at him.
"That's a story for another time, I gotta get back to her." Emma grabbed her jacket and keys.
"We'll come, too. I'll drive." The blonde smiled. Instead of arguing, Regina saved herself a headache and nodded. The three piled into her cruiser and headed towards the hospital.
"How do you know Regina?" Snow asked the wolf girl. She was eating a PB&J that David had brought her. The wolf hummed, savoring the taste.
"I met her when Daniel was alive." She replied, taking another bite. Snow tilted her head.
"Why did you call her mistress?"
"She saved me, and I pledged myself to her." Snow was surprised. Not only had the wolf been Regina's friend while Daniel was alive, she still considered herself Regina's guardian.
"Blair." The two woman looked up. Blair grinned, jelly on her cheek.
"Hello Regina." The dark headed woman walked over to her, sitting on the bed.
"How do you feel?" She asked. The wolf yawned, laying back after finishing her last bite.
"I'm better." She says. Henry walked towards his grandma and the wolf girl. He looked at her in awe.
"How did you get here?" He asked. The wolf looked at him and grinned.
"You're adorable!" She cooed, ruffling his hair. The women snickered, Henry blushed.
"But to answer your question…I don't know." The wolf said, her brows knitting together. Emma watched the wolf, seeing if her superpower would kick in, but so far, nothing. The wolf was very glad to see Regina.
"How old are you?" Her son asked. Blair thought for a moment.
"Well…I age slower than normal, I still look 18 but I'm 28." Emma's eyes widened.
"Seriously?!" Emma asked surprised. Blair smiled and shrugged, she looked at Regina, leaned up and nuzzled her shoulder like a puppy.
"Regina…" The woman stood up and said nothing. The wolf girl leaned back, her eyes full of sadness. The former queen walked over to Emma.
"She'll heal fast. She might even be ready to leave the hospital…can you sign her out and bring her to my house?" Regina asked. Emma nodded, looking from the girl to the woman.
"Of course Regina." Emma answered, nodding her head. She saw Regina's sad smile and knew something was going on. Before anything could be said, she walked away.
"Regina!" Blair called to her, but the woman started walking faster. Blair sighed, looking dejected.
"Why did she leave?" Henry asked the wolf.
"She's upset with me still…" Blair said, looking at the blonde sheriff.
"Why?" Snow asked, putting her hand on Blair's.
"For not saving Daniel, and not taking her away from Cora." The wolf's breath hitched in her throat, tears started rolling down her face.
