Red Fury Dragon's Wrath

Chapter 1

Disclaimers::: I do not own QUAT or it's characters, just my colorful and sometimes twisted imagination. Lol I wanted to try something different this time. Yes this is a SwanQueen story. But this is a different take. It involves a certain werewolf and what happens when she bites a certain Sheriff who just happens to be a dragon. She bites her, not once, but TWICE. There will be consequences. Again, this takes place during the Queens of Darkness arc. And Ruby Lucas is best friends with Mary Margaret/Snow. I wanna try my hand at drama and angst. That kinda thing. I actually had a dream of writing this story so blame it on my unconsciously twisted journey into the dreamscapes. Enjoy…

Tensions were rising in Storybrooke. So many things were happening. Since Elsa and Anna had left Storybrooke and headed back to Arendelle, and Regina had said goodbye to Robin and Roland as well as Marian in order to save Marian's life, after being cursed with a freezing spell thanks to Ingrid.

Meanwhile, Emma was dealing with her parents behaving very strangely, her inner lie detector went off every time her parents opened their mouths. Emma had a feeling that they were keeping secrets from her and she felt like she couldn't trust anyone to tell her the truth. Everyone just seemed to be lying to her these days. She was getting so sick of it.

Ever since the Queens of Darkness arrived in their quiet little town and began stirring up trouble… That's when it all started. Emma wasn't sure of how she should deal with it. As the Sheriff, she was obliged to protect her town from the likes of them. But on the other hand, the villains were behaving so far. She couldn't do anything just yet. And then the dragon came. Her parents were in panic mode. THAT was around the time when the lies started. Emma mused to herself. Next thing she hears, Maleficent had damaged her father's police cruiser. She'd smirked when she'd heard what happened. That meant the money would have to come out of Regina's pocket. Previously, Regina had decided to go undercover to see what the deal was with the Queens of Darkness and see if she could find out what exactly they were up to. Even going so far to pretending she was still a villain, and joining in on their wicked fun. From the way Maleficent had obliterated her father's car, it was clear to Emma that the dragon had something against her parents. Since her parents refused to tell her why… or at least tell her the truth of what had really happened to incur Maleficent's wrath against them… Emma knew she would need to get to the bottom of what happened. She had yet to see Maleficent face to face. It was time to do something about that. It was time to go to the source of her parents' troubles. She grabbed her red leather jacket and headed out without saying a word to anyone. She didn't want anyone to stop her from finding out the truth for herself. Not when everyone had been lying to her lately. Emma was used to taking care of things herself. It was how she'd survived in this world. She knew exactly where to find the dragon. She was glad Regina wasn't there right now to try to talk her out of having that talk with Maleficent.

###############

After having destroyed some properties that belonged to David Nolan, the Villains were gathered in the woods behind the cabin they were staying at. Maleficent was the one who did most of the damages herself as she still felt deep unbridled fury boiling deep inside at the Charmings for what they put her through. She was nowhere near done with them. That damaged cruiser was just the start of things still to come. She was about to incinerate Mary Margaret's car next. They had stolen it and brought it here with them. Maleficent then turned into a dragon and began expelling flames.

Cruella looked over at Ursula. "When do I get to have my fun? Why does SHE get to have all the fun? I'm bored."

Ursula smirked, "Probably because the person you really wanna hurt is missing. As for me, I still have some beef with that Pirate for what he did to me."

Regina scoffed. "Yeah well, seeing her incinerating those Charmings' pieces of property is strangely appealing. Especially since we share the same hatred for those Cha…" She got distracted from what she was about to say when she saw Emma arrive. "Oh dear…" She hoped that Emma was not going to do something stupid like blow her cover. She sighed and tried her best not to be so obvious to how Emma's presence was affecting her.

Cruella snickered when she saw Emma coming up to them. "Is she going to tell her Mommy what the big bad dragon is doing to her wittle car?" She smirked with amusement as she waited to see how Emma was going to handle seeing Maleficent destroying her mother's car.

Ursula smiled as she moved to take a better look at the younger blonde. She wanted to see how Emma would react to seeing how her mother's car was creating a nice bonfire for them. "I do hope you brought us some drinks." She smirked.

Emma watched them from where she was sitting in her car, but after a few deep breaths, she opened the door and got out. She looked at her mother's burning car and then at the dragon. Of course. She knew it would be Maleficent setting fire to her parents' vehicles. David and Mary Margaret were now using David's old pickup truck. She didn't know how or why she knew exactly what Maleficent was feeling from where she was standing. And that dragon was extremely pissed off.

Maleficent looked at Emma and growled before she let out another spray of flames at the car, making sure it was completely charred beyond repair. She was sending a message. She wanted to obliterate this car completely until there were nothing but ashes remaining. She pounded on the car and raked her talons on the metal, tearing it to pieces before expelling more flames.

From what Emma was seeing, she realized that Maleficent was much more pissed off at Mary Margaret than at David. She looked at the others there, seeing how they were watching to see if she would try something to stop them. She looked at Regina, seeing the look in her eyes. She sensed her friend was worried. Emma licked her lips before she turned to look at the dragon again. She still remembered how she'd 'killed' her once before until Rumple brought her back. "Can we talk?" She swore she heard the dragon scoff in her mind.

Maleficent turned and looked at Emma from where she was standing. Oh so now she wanted to talk? Just what did the Charmings tell her? She narrowed her eyes at the younger blonde. Did Emma know what they'd done to her? And if not... Did that mean the Charmings were keeping a secret from her? She had this feeling that Emma was completely out of the loop about what happened all these years ago. Oh how Maleficent relished in the thought that she now had the chance to drive a wedge between this family. She had so much she wanted to tell her. Now here was her chance. Emma had come to talk with Her. She found it amusing that those Charmings were keeping secrets from… Emma. The dragon growled. She would never forgive them for what they did all these years ago. NEVER! Oh how she despised them with every fiber of her being.

Emma was busy looking at the flames, feeling a lull in the way they danced and licked the air around them. She had not been looking at Maleficent while the dragon was thinking about what to share with Emma. "So tell me already. What are you waiting for Maleficent? Clearly they've pissed you off. What did they do to you?" She looked up at the dragon. "What did they do that was so unforgivable and despicable?"

Cruella gasped. "Can you read minds?" She moved closer to the blonde.

Maleficent was taken by surprise. Emma had heard her thoughts? Only shifters could do something like that. But if Emma was a shifter, then that meant… But the Charmings weren't… They couldn't do what shifters could do… The dragon growled with confusion.

Emma didn't quite grasp what was happening just yet. She didn't like it when Cruella moved in front of her. She moved away from her, ignoring her for the moment and walked towards Maleficent. "What are you saying? The Charmings couldn't what? You think I am a shifter? Well…" She bit her lip as she recalled things that happened when she was growing up in the foster system. How she freaked them out when certain things had happened. When she used her powers, when her eyes glowed… When she moved things, started fires… What she saw in her reflection multiple times. So many things had happened to her and she had no way of knowing how to control them. She frowned as she tried to make sense out of what was happening right now. The wind was beginning to pick up around them now.

Cruella moved again. "Who are you really? What do you want?" She scoffed, feeling suspicious of Emma's intentions. She didn't like these kinds of surprises.

Regina moved closer, realizing something monumental was happening. "What's this, what's going on here?" She tried to understand what was being implied regarding Emma. She looked at the blond. "Emma?"

Maleficent gasped as she inhaled deeply, wanting to get her scent. Once she did, the dragon gasped and moved quickly, using her tail to move Cruella out of the way. "Stop harassing her! She's mine!" She felt all kinds of emotions come over her as she changed back to herself and moved to stand face to face with Emma for the first time in this form. She reached out to touch the side of her face, inhaling deeply again. Her eyes became misty as she finally realized who she was.

"Mal… What…" Regina was trying to understand what was happening and was confused by the way Maleficent was looking at Emma.

Emma was floored by what was happening right now. "What are you doing? Why are you…"

Maleficent replied by pulling Emma into her arms and kissing her cheeks as she inhaled deeply, memorizing her scent. "You're my child. My love, my everything. You're so beautiful!" She murmured lovingly as she continued holding her daughter in her arms. "Now all we need to do is find your sister…"

Emma felt as if the ground beneath her feet had moved, and suddenly she couldn't tell if she were still standing or if she were falling. "What?" She croaked in shock. She felt Maleficent put her arms around her shoulders and lead her to sit down as she moved and sat down next to her. Emma took a deep breath as she tried to compose herself and to digest what she'd just heard. She inhaled deeply and that's when she realized Maleficent's scent was like hers. Why hadn't she noticed when Gold had her go down… To slay her… Emma whimpered as she realized what she'd done and then the raw emotions began to bubble deep inside her, turning to anger. She felt Maleficent wrap her arms around her.

Regina's jaw dropped to the ground when she heard what Maleficent said and then she remembered when Mary Margaret told her what secret she had been keeping from Emma. She remembered how she had then told her she didn't want to keep secrets from Henry's mother. That Mary Margaret would need to tell Emma the truth of what she and David had done to Maleficent and her daughters. But never in Her wildest dreams did she ever imagine that Emma would be one of Maleficent's lost daughters. And now that she knew, she wanted to find out more about what happened. She wanted to be there for Emma. She moved to sit next to Emma.

Cruella and Ursula gasped and then understood what was happening. "The mark of the moon, do you have it right here?" She rubbed the area on her arm where she knew there would be a birthmark.

Emma gasped when she heard what Cruella was asking. "How would you know?" Her eyes grew wide as she took off her jacket and there inside her forearm was the mark of the crescent moon.

Maleficent reached out and caressed her daughter's arm.

"Because when you and your sister hatched from the same egg your mother gave birth to… After those Charmings put their baby's darkness inside you two and they pushed us as we tried to stop them… We fell through that portal with you two… We saw you both hatch and your sister has a birthmark of a star inside her wrist… We saw your marks. We tried to bring you both back to your mother but there wasn't enough magic for us to bring you back… We were trapped for some time. But we made sure you two had a roof over your head."

"Your mother was also trapped in the caves for a while too. It took us some time to get to her and to tell her what happened." Ursula added.

"The Charmings stole you and your sister from me." Maleficent began telling Emma what happened, leaving absolutely nothing out. She gave her the whole truth of what happened and the part the Charmings played in what happened to them. How she'd begged them mother to mother not to take them away. How she knew Snow White was pregnant. How she'd offered to help her when they found out their daughter would be born with darkness inside her and how they got rid of that darkness, wanting their baby to be perfect and not tainted. She told Emma everything.

Emma had a truly dark look in her eyes as she realized the full extent of what the Charmings put them through. She knew how Mary Margaret prided herself at being good and pure. She scoffed then, feeling the darkness inside her grow stronger. She felt angry, such rage burning inside. How dare they?! She gasped then as she realized something else. "My sister? A star on her wrist? Fucking hell!" She growled, her eyes glowing with fury. "Lily!" She stood up so fast as the winds began picking up and lightning flashed while thunder crashed. Now she knew what her so-called parents were keeping from her. The big secret they kept from her from day one. She wanted to confront them and find out why they did what they had done.

Regina was surprised at everything she'd learned. Those Charmings were in a world of trouble right now. She scoffed and shook her head at their audacity. To steal Mal's daughters like that?! That was utterly unacceptable and very unforgivable. Yes Mary Margaret had tried to confide in her, but before she'd had the chance to get everything off her chest, Regina had stopped her, not wanting to know anything more because she did not want to keep any secrets from Emma. She'd insisted that Snow go talk with Emma and tell her everything. But now here she was with Maleficent and had heard everything that happened… She understood exactly why Maleficent wanted to go after the Charmings in the first place. The dragon wanted to make them pay for what happened. And seeing how dark and angry Emma was right now, she had a feeling they would be dealing with her too. It surprised her to no end, what she was seeing right now. She was seeing Emma Swan through different eyes. She gasped when she remembered that Henry was also Emma's son. She found herself asking Maleficent the very question that was nagging at her. "Does this mean your daughters are dragons like you?" She had seen the way Emma's eyes had glowed and was curious.

Maleficent had a dark yet proud smile on her face. "They're dragons through and through, now those Charmings will pay. First things first, we need to get Emma's sister home where she belongs." She looked at Emma knowingly when she saw the way the weather came out with her moods. Rumple had only recently told her about Lily and the way Emma reacted meant only one thing. "You know Lily darling? Tell me baby." She moved even closer to her daughter's side.

Emma nodded, snuggling against her mother's side. "Our paths crossed. We connected right away. Became best friends and got into all kinds of trouble together." She rubbed her arm where the birthmark was. "We joked about our marks, how hers was the star and mine was the moon. We joked about fate bringing us together and how we ended up with such unique birthmarks. She stole from my foster family and the police separated us. The foster family I was with threw me away, not wanting someone like me to be their daughter. We swore we would never forget each other. I need to find her as soon as possible. But first… I need to see those damned Charmings! They will answer for this!" She growled before getting up and storming off towards her car.

Regina looked at Maleficent knowing her whole undercover business earlier was no longer important or necessary. "Emma wait! I'm coming with you." She ran after the blonde, joining her in that death trap car of hers.

Maleficent smiled at her friends. "I cannot wait to see my daughter give them hell." She chuckled as they left in dark smoke.
