Hey Everyone!
I spent the week without a project. It was horrible. I had a few ideas about this and jotted them down. I only got a 14 page outline of the first 2 or 3 chapters, but I like the concept of the Blue Fairy being the asshat that screwed everyone's life up because she was an unhappy cow. LOL. Let me know what you guys think.
Enjoy,
Snow
"This is wrong," whispered one fairy watching the scene unfold before them.
"If you know what I do in the future you would stow your ideals of right and wrong and follow my instruction," snapped the other fairy.
"You should let fate run its course. What you are doing is wrong!" argued the first fairy as every nerve ending in her body begged to race after the woman they watched.
"Green will do her job, that is all. No more, no less," the Blue Fairy watched as the Green Fairy sent that foul excuse of a human being to her supposed true love.
"Green was given the wrong dust! She is about to destroy that girl's life! I can't let this happen!" spoke the other fairy but panic spread across her lovely cheeks and showed the whites of her horror filled white eyes. It was if the world slowed, and motion seized as her eyes tracked the hand she knew so well when it produced a silver wand inlayed with shadow quarts, bloodstone, and lapis azure. Before the fairy could break the spell she winked away.
The Blue Fairy, a fairy from the Land of No Magic, that dreaded realm of Storybrooke, watched as Regina Mills opened the tavern door, paused and froze. The Blue Fairy smirked then her lips fell into a thin line as she witnessed her plans plummet to earth. Regina ran from the spell of the dust, the false dust that was stolen from the fairies, that Blue her self had stolen and gave to Green. Tinkerbell ran, well flitted, after the girl. Blue sighed, resolute. She would have to wait and take her past self's place. Then she smiled, that might not be so bad.
In Storybrooke:
A flash of light dropped the Blue Fairy onto her knees, gasping for air in the middle of Main Street. She looked around, took in the sights, sounds, and smells. She looked at her hands. The hard surface of the path beneath her ground into her knees, and she winced as she stood. The village was strange, and the homes were sturdy and colorful. The paths next to buildings were clean, and the people… she gulped, the people were…. Demons!
Wait, no. She looked harder. Children wore strange clothing and ran about the hard black path. Torches with no flames lit the night. Laughter, screams of delight, running, walking. She felt the world spin. Her vision narrowed and then that taste, that gods awful taste came up from her stomach and left the taste of acid in her mouth. A hand came to her shoulder and her gaze slowly lifted to the greenest eyes she had ever seen. A smile made by angels had lifted her spirits.
"Blue? You Ok?" asked the woman her voice rich, not to high and not to low, it was almost just right. Then she finally registered the woman's words.
"You know me?" Blue asked hoping that someone, anyone, especially this person could help her. Then another woman came up beside the blonde.
"Emma honey, what's going on?" the newcomer asked as she reached Emma's side. Blue's eyes grew wide and she felt the sting of tears.
"Snow?" Then she looked to Emma, the same green eyes, the same chin. She needed someone and who better than Snow White. Then a voice growled from behind them.
"Just leave the bug. Henry wants to go to the fun House," the scowling voice slid into her ears and made her spine shiver. Blue never thought she could hear a voice scowl and yet when she found dark eyes and the owner of the voice there was definitely a scowl upon her face. Snow moved to the side as Regina came to the left of Emma. Blue clicked as she saw the beautiful woman that the girl had become.
"Oh Regina!" Blue lunged for Regina hands out to clasp Regina's hands just to see her, tell her everything. In the blink of an eye everything changed. She stood stock still. Regina's hands held fireballs, one per palm.
"You can do magic?" Blue watched the flames flicker and grow, then her eyes shot to Regina's. She saw the well-manicured eyebrow lift arching her eyebrow curiously. She saw the hate in Regina's eyes, then the flames in her hands grew.
"What happened to you?' Blue asked softly almost wanting to reach out once more, run a hand up her arm to comfort the fears of the woman before her. The woman shifted.
"Look Bug…" but Regina was cut short by the blonde with eyes she knew from the other woman next to her. Regina glared at the blonde's hand on her forearm, but Regina closed her palms and grit her teeth.
"Are you ok Blue?" asked the woman in a red jacket. The world was spinning it was too much, but she needed to talk to these people, she needed to tell Regina her fate was driven off course. Blue lifted a hand to her temple and then rubbed her face.
"I think we need to talk," the fairy finally said with a certain amount of strength.
The Dinner:
Blue looked around as she sat at a table hunched over the surface with Emma's warm jacket about her shoulders, and a hot cup of mint tea to soothe her stomach in her hands. She told them everything she knew. She told them of a future self, slightly older than she was, bent on destroying Regina's happiness, her future. She told them she stole the dust and gave it Green, not the other way around. Snow, Emma, and Regina listened as the fairy spilled her guts to the trio and when it was over it looked like the Blue fairy seemed to age in the past hour from exhaustion. Emma placed a hand on her shoulder as Snow took her hand and they comforted her.
"I'm sorry," the said rasped as her voice cut through her tears. Emma squeezed her shoulder and reached for the cup and asked Granny for a refill. Bless the woman, she already had another cup ready. When Emma returned with the tea cup Blue looked up and smiled.
"You are a kind person Emma. How do you know Snow?" Blue asked. Emma shifted. She hated telling this part of her life. It was just too damned complicated. Blue looked to Snow who looked away with a regretful look and then sad eyes met Blue's.
"Emma is mine, and Charming's Daughter," Snow said and Blue blinked and looked between the women and snow smiled sadly, "A curse came, we had to place her in a wardrobe, and hope…" then Snow looked up to Emma, "Hope for the best," Snow finished their story as Emma stepped away from her mother, and the fairy and sat on a stool next to Regina. After hearing of the tale of the Lost Princess and the Curse, Emma began to call the tale, Blue placed her hands firmly on the table and then took up Snow's hands.
"I want to fix this! Please let me fix this," the fair almost begged Snow.
"Oh for the love of… Who cares?!" Regina growled as she threw her hands in the air. Emma, sitting next to Regina, flinched. Not noticeable, but it was enough for Regina to know, to see the effect of her words. Regina's glance and tilt of her head told Emma she didn't mean Emma's life, but her life, Regina Mills' life was just fine.
"I have everything I have ever desired. I have all I want or need. I have a life I made for myself. I have a son," Regina growled once more at the fairly.
"And an evil heart because of what 'She' did!" argued Blue standing her ground.
"Watch it Bug!" Regina warned then turned away from Blue, from her past, and all the what ifs that could have occurred.
"What about true love!?" yelled Blue.
The air in the dinner seemed to shift as Regina shifted her shoulders back and slowly turned on her stool at the bar. She glared at Blue. Regina stood slowly to her feet, her fingers crackled with unspent magical energy. Quicker than lightning her hand plunged into Blue's chest and ripped out her heart.
The fairy gasped and went to her knee, and looked up at Regina holding her glowing heart, not even a blemish, maybe some … bruising from some choices, but your basic wear and tear on the soul. Regina kneeled before the fairy nose to nose, clamping the heart in her hands. Regina applied pressure to the heart and smirked at the groan that came from the fairy. Blue looked up as Emma's hand came to rest lightly on Regina's shoulder. A flick of the sorceress's head to the hand then the smile slipped into a snarl.
"Never interfere in my life. Got that Bug?" sneered Regina.
Blue could not talk, her chest seared with pain. She weakly nodded her head. She watched a dark glint flash behind Regina's eyes. Regina slammed the heart back into the owner's chest… Hard, harder than was necessary. Blue gasped in relief as warmth spread through her chest once more. Her hand flew to her chest to feel the organ beat and she sighed. She opened her eyes to hear the clacking of heals on tiles, and a bell note the door had opened, and no Regina in sight. She looked up and found Emma's hand, the same one that rest on Regina's shoulder reach down for her. Blue took it and thanked the blonde for her help.
"You are lucky," Emma said with a smile as Blue sat back in her chair.
"I beg to differ," Blue said as she rubbed her chest.
"No, Emma's right. You are lucky this wasn't a few years ago, or she would have crushed it," Snow said smiling.
"Why are you smiling then? She still ripped my heart out of my chest!" exasperated the fairly. Emma sat down as she came back to her mother and the fairy with a cup of coffee for Snow, a hot cup of tea for Blue, and a cup of coffee for herself.
"Because she chose not to kill you, even though she has, oh what did you say… an evil heart," Emma smiled over her cup as she watched as the Blue-Freaking-Fairy, Lead Queen Fairy Bee, was mollified by words that were thrown back at her. Snow patted the fairly in understanding. It was Emma that sipped coffee and thought of all the information that had been shared. There was another Blue Fairy out there, the one they all knew, that screwed with their lives, all because Regina was a raging bitch. But who's fault was that? Emma thought back to something Regina said to her once.
Evil in not born, it is made. As Emma sipped her coffee and put pieces to a puzzle she didn't understand, she had to admit, Regina seemed to be onto something. In this case, Regina might be right.
