Chapter 1
Don't own ouat.
I just wrote something and I don't know if I should continue this. I already wrote chapter 2 too... so just let me know if I should or not :)
Henry was standing in the door frame of Regina's study and watched how she stared at a weird book before she slowly locked it away and leaned her head against the safe. When she started turning around again he quickly hurried into the kitchen. He had stolen a vial from Gold's shop when everyone had focused on Regina at the end of her curse. He looked at it. "Sleeping potion." He read out quietly and then looked around the kitchen. There was not much except for a hot coffee Regina had made herself earlier after Henry had bolted in his room.
He quickly slipped the potion into it and threw the vial away and grabbed a glass. Regina entered the kitchen and stopped shortly. "Henry..." She breathed out. "Hey... Mom..." He mumbled and she spotted his glass. "You... want something to drink?" She asked him and he nodded. She quickly walked over to the fridge and opened it widely. "Juice, coke, water, milk?" She asked and he cleared his throat. "Juice..." He mumbled and Regina nodded. She pulled it out and handed it over to him. She took her coffee and sat down by the counter. He poured some juice in his glass and looked at Regina.
She was staring into space. Her eyes looked so sad but he couldn't let himself get affected by it. She was the evil Queen. Regina finally took a sip and her eyes widened. She placed the cup down and looked at it. "Henry... what... what did you put in it?" She asked him and started to feel dizzy. "A sleeping potion! I don't want to be here and if you don't let me go then I have to flee!" He said and Regina started crying. "So you want me in an endless sleep..." She answered and started to stand up. "Endless?" Henry asked confused. "Temporary! I reread it in Gold's book..."
"There is no sleeping potion which makes you temporary sleeping. All those curses are in dust form or spells... the only liquid is a sleeping curse..." She answered and stumbled slightly and caught herself at the door frame. "I loved you, Henry... your whole life... I loved you so much... but you don't love me back and I panicked... because everyone left me... and now you finally got rid of me... I hope you'll be happy..." Regina just said before she collapsed and hit her head against a drawer. Henry stared at her shocked and ran over to her.
"Mom?" He asked and shook her but she didn't wake up. He cupped her cheeks. "Mommy?" He didn't wanted her to fall asleep for forever. He wanted her to black out long enough for him to flee and then his grandfather arresting her until they found a way to take her magic. He buried his face in her stomach and sobbed. The door banged open and David entered. He saw his grandson and Regina on the ground. "Henry?" He asked shocked and ran to her. "I... I thought she only would be asleep for a temporary time... but I put her under a sleeping curse..." Henry sobbed and held her tightly. David gasped.
He shook Regina too but she was out. He picked her up and Henry looked at him. "Where are you taking her?" Henry asked and David sighed. "To Gold." "He will kill her! Now when she is defenseless." Henry exclaimed. "I won't let that happen, Henry... But we need help for her." David answered and they quickly hurried over to Gold's shop. Gold and Belle were finally reunited. They stood in the shop when Henry and David entered with Regina in David's arms.
Belle gasped. "What happened with her?" She asked and Henry looked down ashamed. "I stole a sleeping potion and put it in her coffee which she drank..." He confessed and Gold's eyes widened. "Where did you steal it from?" He asked Henry. "You..." He mumbled and pointed behind the counter of the shop. Gold quickly sunk to his knees and looked at everything. "You took the book too, didn't you?" He asked Henry who nodded. "I locked the vial away and replaced it with another and then wrote it like that... obviously you still took the wrong vial..." "With what vial he could have switched it?" David asked. "A dreaming potion. It helps people to fall asleep pretty quickly. The vial he stole is a dangerous one... everything that'll happen in there with her will happen here with her too." He explained and their eyes widened.
"Lay her down in the back of the shop..." Belle said and they followed her in the back. David laid Regina down and quickly took off her shoes before he covered her with a blanket. He saw tear stains on her cheeks and sighed. Henry sat down next to him and took Regina's hand. He felt so sorry. Gold sat down on a chair with Belle standing behind him. He sighed too. "How will we wake her up again?" Henry asked. "Like you do it with every curse. With true love." Gold told him and Henry looked to Regina. He quickly crawled up and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Henry..." Gold said quietly. "You..." But Henry already saw that it didn't help. He started crying.
"She doesn't love me..." He said and David and Gold sighed. "I don't think that she doesn't love you. She could have stopped it with vomiting but..." "She didn't because she thinks I hate her..." Henry finished Gold's sentence. "Henry..." David said and Henry shook his head. "I told her that I don't want to be with her and that I only wanted to flee... She... she told me that she loved me but that everyone left her and if I wanted her gone so desperately she would do it to make me happy." He said and sobbed. "She'll never wake up again because she doesn't know that I DO love her... I just wanted her without magic... I wanted my mommy back..." David held him and Gold looked down. "We have to find her romantically true love... he can break the curse without her knowing that he loves her." Gold said.
Regina woke up in a black room. She looked around and sighed. Henry hated her so much to trap her here. He was leaving her like everyone else for Snow. She started crying and didn't notice how the ground broke. She yelped when she suddenly lost her footing and fell a few meters. She crashed on the ground and screamed pained. Suddenly fire engulfed her and she screamed even louder. She got up quickly and looked around. A fire directly lightened up in front of her and she tried to protect her face with her arm. She whimpered pained when her arm suddenly caught fire. She tried to extinguish it but she only was successful after most of her skin was burnt.
She stopped her crying and stared at her arm. It hurt like hell but she tried to ignore it and looked around. She needed to find a safe place. She couldn't find a place though and she made her way to the side of the room. She collapsed against the wall and fainted. The pain had become too unbearable. When she woke up again her shoes were missing and she was in a great deal of pain again. She saw that something had slid her across the room right into the middle again and her leg had burn scars on it. She looked at it shocked and touched it hesitantly with her good hand. She yelped and this time she couldn't stop her crying.
Not only her son was abandoning her. Now also her life thought it would be nice to make her ugly and bring her into pain. She softly got up and looked up. Maybe she could get back into the black room. But when she looked up there was only a mirror. Reflecting her. She looked down again. What had happened to her? She just wanted in her real world again. She felt sorry for Snow. For what she did to her and her family. She felt sorry for all the pain she had made them walk through. Then she started missing Daniel. His loving arms around her. Kissing her nose. Her lips. Her forehead. She felt lonely.
David was sitting on a chair next to the bed and watched how Henry laid curled up next to Regina. Henry had insisted that he would sleep there next to her. Henry only wanted to stay with her until she woke up. Realizing that he never would see her eyes again he insisted at least that he would stay a week. Regina was stirring and David gasped. But it wasn't her waking up. It was just something happening to her. He quickly walked over to them and lifted the blanket up. Her arm was scarred. He gasped and quickly hurried out of the room. "Gold! Gold!" He shouted.
Henry landed in the same room like his mother. He saw her sitting on the ground sobbing and he quickly ran over to her. "Mom!" He shouted and she looked up. He saw her tears and sunk to his knees. "Mom..." She curled up and faced away from him. "Please talk to me." She shook her head. He couldn't see her so ugly. So imperfect. "I'm sorry, Mom... I love you." He whispered and touched her arm. Her burnt arm. She screamed in pain and slapped his hand away. He looked at her shocked and quickly rounded her. He saw her arm and then looked into her face again. "Mom... what... what happened?" "Nothing." She answered and slowly got up. Her leg was giving her problems and Henry quickly rounded her and supported her weight. He helped her more to the side again and then helped her sitting down.
He looked at her leg and gasped. "I didn't wanted that, Mom... you have to believe me..." He said and she sighed. "I know..." She answered and looked at him exhausted. Henry took her unharmed hand. "You have to believe in me, Mom... I love you... even if I didn't show it the last months... I was just so... scared that it all had been a lie... but it wasn't. Mom... you gave me the best childhood I could have asked for... you were the best mom on the whole world and I don't care anymore if you are the Evil Queen... I love you. You are just my Mom..." He told her and Regina tilted her head slightly. "It's what I deserve, Henry... I knew that I have to pay for my crimes one day... and it's now the time..." She answered and he shook his head.
"No... you can still pay them in the real world, Mom! Please stay with me... I love you." "I love you too Henry... but I think THIS will be better than the real world. Here I don't have to see all the hateful looks of the people around me... And you obviously can visit me... that's enough for me..." Regina told him. "It's not! We can't do anything together! You know when I was younger that you said that one day we will see the world? That we'll visit warm countries to finally go to a beach which hasn't a too cold water. So that we can swim there! But if you stay here then this will NEVER happen!" He shouted at her and she just looked at him betrayed.
"Now you want to do things with me? What was when I wanted it? I tried to come closer to you. I did everything to win you back but you abandoned me. Over and over again. Like all the other people in my life. And they all ran to the same person. Snow White... so have your happy ending with her like all the other people before you." Regina hissed and he opened his mouth. Suddenly everything went black around him.
TBC...?
