THE TRUTH BEHIND HER SMILE
Ouat it's not mine, it belongs to its creators and ABC
Well the idea of writing this little story came after seeing an interview where Lana Parrilla talks about Regina's smile. I also think that deep inside Regina, has a heart. The story is set after "The Return" and for "The Stranger"
Sorry for the grammar mistakes, I tried to translate this from Spanish because I wanted to share this story, and I don't know if I did a good work, well I you prefer can read it in Spanish.
THE TRUTH BEHIND HER SMILE
Sometimes I thought if all this really worth it, so much effort, so many headaches, so much pain. Steal their happy endings and get your own? But after so many years of the same, nothing seemed to make sense.
I come to think of it, Snow White was not even aware that he was separated from her true love, so what really worth the trouble? Without thinking that was not only a curse to her enemies, It was for her too. Nothing changed, every day the same routine, but of course, things had changed since Henry came into her life, although the price was high.
She had to use much of the magic that brought so she could enter him to Storybrooke and she had to use more of it to have him under the same spell as the other, and then he did not realize that he was the only person who changed in that town. I had to recognize that this thought when she decided that she wanted a son, and then always left thinking what she would do when he was old enough. Maybe all she has to does was to update his book.
But now, that was the least worried of her, since Emma Swan reached Storybrooke everything became more complicated. She had no longer control of the things as she was used to, now she has to pretend in front the others, especially in front of Emma Swan. And how she does it? The easiest way and the difficult to know, just hiding herself behind her smile, an almost exhausting work.
I was just in front of the mirror in her office, she had two tough battles in the morning had really emotionally drained. The first with Snow, how she dared to feel sorry for her? But what bothered her most, besides that Snow always played the role of "good and innocent," was that her words had been true, she was lonely, empty, sad.
She still remembered the words of Snow deep in her head "I forgive you, even if you are unable to admit what you did, I forgive you anyway. Your life should be filled with an immense solitude if your only joy is to destroy the happiness of others. Mayor Mills is so sad, because although they believe, will not make you happy, just going to leave a gaping hole in his heart "and then Henry lashes out again against her, as a final blow, rubbing in the face that she is The Evil Queen and no matter what at the end good will win. Adding more pain to her heart. Because perhaps, nobody believed that she had a heart. A heart, lonely, hurt, empty, that it had bled almost entirely.
She was still concentrated in the mirror, trying to clear her mind, how things had gone out of control like that? How Emma Swan had gone from being a nuisance to a major problem? Last night, she had threatened to take Henry away, and knowing the determination that this woman had, I was afraid that she achieved, and like always I put up the best defense mechanism that I have, showing up the best smile, I felt fear, and to her own reflection, she could not lie.
I was terrified at the thought of losing Henry, he had become her most vulnerable part and in the fairy tales land you only had one true love, here in this land without magic, Henry was the person she most loved and since a couple of months ago, he also loved her, and she would fight for him no matter the cost.
Slowly, she wiped a lone tear falling down for her cheek, now she had allowed too much time for self-pity. Now I she had to put back her best smile on her face, that was her perfect strategy to raise her defenses, and reinforce the wall around her, because in a moment, she had to face again with Emma Swan.
The End
