Regina stormed out of Granny's Dinner after seeing Robin's long death wife back to life thanks to Emma. She did hoped she didn't brought anything else back, specially if it was something that was meant to be death by now.
She felt the hot ire ran thru her vain, but contrary to her feeling, in her skin she felt a cold blizzard and a drop of snow on the top of her nose. Wait, snow?
When she looked up she found herself surrounded by the white snowflakes dancing in the sky. Wasn't it summer?
Then the flurry became intense close to the barn, she hoped never to need to go near there again, but do to the facts, she dragged herself to were the snow grew stronger. Once there, she found something odd, more like someone. A figure was in the middle of the road. Her car was going slow enough for her to hit the breaks, nevertheless, the fragile figure in front of her, grew an ice wall to protect herself, making Regina hit the pedal with stronger will until it stopped completely.
She got out of the car "What the hell?!" she demanded.
The young woman just raised her hands defensively. "Stay back" she pleaded more than commanded letting a small spike of ice fly her way, but Regina quickly melted it with one of her fire balls. That's when Elsa realized her power might be useless against someone that seemed to fathom them.
"I wouldn't advice to attack the mayor of the town, young girl"
Elsa swallowed visibly loosing her nerve to defend herself.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"I'm, I don't know were am I...my name is Elsa, Queen Elsa of Arendelle"
"Queen Elsa?"
She nodded slightly.
"I'm Regina, formally know as the…Evil Queen in the Enchanted Forest." opposite to what Regina expected, the young girl vowed with her head recognizing her title as well and not even flitching about her being the Evil Queen.
"What are you doing here? did Gold sent you to cast a spell?
"Gold?" she asked timidly.
"The Dark One"
Her eyes went wide with fear "N-no, I, I was trapped by him, I need to go back to my Kingdome and find my sister"
Regina was used to mistrust people, all the fairy tale characters used to hide a secret and have a dark desire or black thought in their hearts, but this, Elsa, was someone she could see right thru, no secret, no mystery, no lie; she was pure.
"Are you setting this winter?"
Elsa then looked around her and nodded wordlessly.
"Can you stop it?"
"Not at the moment..."she traced off, she was too confused and panicked to think about love and melt it all.
"Are you here to avenge someone...?"
"Am not aware that I should avenge someone... just yet" she said honestly, something that Regina was not used to.
"You are coming with me"
"Where?"
"I need some answers, and I know just the obnoxious Sheriff to do the job" she said thru gritted teeth, she didn't want to see the woman that ruined her happiness, but at least she would pay working and finding out more about this young Snow Queen.
She call to her cell phone and dryly asked her to go to her house and to bring Henry along. She ignored all the protests and questions about the sudden winter and hung up driving in the road.
Elsa felt awkward in the strange vehicle and being with the Evil Queen, but she didn't seemed evil.
"Why are you here...?"she asked softly directing the question to the driver.
"What do you mean?
"This land...even my magic feels off, it...kind of tickles." she clasped her hand together not daring to touch anything afraid that she might freeze it.
"I...cast a curse a while back and this was the outcome, a land with no magic, well until my curse was broken and then another one was cast and..."she waved her hand dismissively" let's say everything is different now and I'm redirecting my life"
"Good" said Elsa almost inaudible.
"So what's the last thing you remember?" she eyed her.
"It was" she closed her eyes" being home with Anna, Olaf and Kristoff and…" she pressed her eyelids "I...I don't know" she pressed her temples.
"You need some rest" said Regina with a shockingly concerned voice turning the wheel to the side of the street "here we are, finally home…"
