A/N: Italics are memories. This story will flash back and forth from past and future. It takes place a week after the finale. (Which pissed me off.) *Silently cries for Regina* Anywhoooo. Story is rated M for future content. Not giving away any details. Lets just say... its juicy.
Being wrapped in his arms was the best thing Regina had ever felt in her life. Nothing compared to it. Not even the sweetest revenge could equal to being wrapped up in her true love. Her eyes were closed, tbe musky scent of forest lingering around her. She silebtly prayed it would stay on her bedsheets, on her pillows, her skin. His hands were travelling across her back in an oh so soft way that made her shiver. It was five in the mornjng. She knew because every morning around five, the same little bird would chirp near her bedroom window. But this time, it didnt bother her, The former queen didnt dare open her eyes, she was afraid that she would be dreaming.
"I love you Regina."
He mustve thought she was asleep, She frove for a moment, startled by the words he had told her. Just mere hours ago she had told him of Tinkerbell, and the lion tattoo, after that, they had made love until she had nothing left in her. Before she even registered what she was doing, before her brain let her know that she was speaking, those three little words slipped out in that raspy little voice she had when she was afraid.
"I love you."
Seven days... She had been gone for seven days. Locked away in her vault. Sealed with blood magic. She wasnt worried about anyone trying to find her, it wouldn't be of importance to anyone anyways. Who would want to be around a heartbroken, unredeemable woman anyways. She hadnt eaten, nor had she slept in the whole week since she'd lost him. Her Robin. He had been her's only briefly before everything turned sour. Marian, Regina didnt know the woman but she hated her for what she stole from her. Her one chance at a happy ending.
Villians don't get happy endings.
She was right all along. No matter how hard the brunette tried to redeem herself, she would always be just that, a villian. The Evil Queen. The wretched hag who rippedout hearts and destroyed whole villiages. She sat on the floor in one of the rooms she has magicked into the vault, so far deep into the earth that no one would hear her cried of pain as her hearg shattered into pieces. This is where she would rot. She was tired of trying, tired of loving and losing. Daniel, her father, Henry, and Robin. shw looked almost catatonic, locked in her own mind as she sat there, her shoes kicked off, her sbirt wrinkled, her skirt all bunched up. she was a prisoner to her own mind. Stuck between happy thoughts, cold memories and vengeance.
Like mother like daughter.
Emma betrayed her, just like Snow White. The thoughts that came into her mind brought back memories, she felt the nostalgia of well plotted revenge pouring in. Finally after a week, the former queen moved, she twitched, a smirk coming across her fave thay used to strike fear into the most evil of creatures. Emma Swan will burn for what she's done. Burn at the hand of the queen herself. She stood, waving her hand to make her appearance more pleasant before she was to be seen in public again. She wouldn't let the spawn of Snow White and Charming get away with her mistake', Not this time.
She could hear the boy shouting from a mile away, "Gina! Gina,Giiiiiiiiiina." She stifled her giggle. Giggle? Since when did she giggle?
"Roland. Roland? Roooooooolaaaaaand." She shouted back playfully and picked the four ywar old up. She had already fallen im love with the handsome little man.
Roland climbed up on her lap as she sat in hwr office and smiled. "Coupla days goned by and i didnt see you. Makes me sad cause papa says you gonna be around for the rest of the forevers!" He giggled and rested his head on her chest. "I misseded you Gina. You's my best friend. Asides my bear and Henry acourse." Regina smiled whole heartedly at the four year old.
She continued the smile as she heard the familiar sound of boots walking in the hallway outside of the mayor's office. "For the rest of forever huh? Well you better tell papa to quit spying otherwise he wont be." She winked at the child and laughed as Robin appeared in the doorway.
