Hey guys, so I'm actually really into this new fan-fiction. Also from the feedback that was given some of you actually like the idea that Adeen is troublesome, so I decided to play on this a little more. Tell me what you think, if it's a little too much just 'ya know, tell me and I'll sort it out.

So I own nothing except my need to have my OCs in abusive households, Adeen and the plot.

Please review!

Chapter two.

The car ride was silent except for the breathing of the two occupants of the car and the background music from the radio music. This in Adeen's opinion was horrendous.

They finally pulled up to a white mansion, Regina parked in her drive way and looked towards the girl, studying her.

Adeen was known to be quick to irritate and didn't take to many people well. It was a surprise to almost everyone when she swore at Mary Margret... Or was it Snow White now? From that day Adeen wouldn't speak to her, nor would she even acknowledge she was alive. It also was a surprise that she liked Red when she didn't like Snow.

Regina had noticed the girl got into a lot of fights, in school and out. She was arrested a few times on assault but was let go because it was proved to be self-defence. However when she had been in a fight, the next day she would have a lot more bruises and wounds than she did from the day before. But even in front of people when fighting she wouldn't flinch, but she did flinch a lot when the subject of her parents was raised or she was in or near her house. She'd have to look into it a bit more later on there was a hunch that was nagging at her.

"Miss Marshall, we're here." She smiled politely and took the keys from the car, opening the door and slipping out, being careful not to crease her grey designer dress. She moved to the boot of the car, opening it with the key to be surprised to have Adeen next to her to pick it up, carefully slugging it over her shoulder and onto her back.

"I've got it, Ms Mills." She looked at her with a fake grin plastered over her face.

That's what else made Regina wonder, the girl would only smile softly if she meant it, otherwise she would put up fake grins. Regina was the only one that had noticeably picked up on it just like how when asking the girl if she wanted to do something she would shrug and respond with 'I don't know.' Or how she would snap back if she felt guilty.

"Alright, come along then." She smiled softly; catching that Adeen's eyes had a slight orange tint to them. She moved quickly and fluently in her black heels, noticing from the patters on the ground she knew that the girl was following her.

She unlocked the door and held open the door, taking off her heels and placing them on the shoe rack, she turned to see the girl just outside her house. "Do you plan to stay out there all day?"

"W-whatever..." An embarrassed blush flushed across her cheeks and she stepped in, undoing her shoe laces and taking off her shoes, showing her bare feet. She curled her toes at the air hitting them, and looked up at the woman.

Regina however had disappeared from being next to her and was now in the kitchen, taking out an item from the fridge, leftover lasagne.

"So… As we'll be living together for a while... Let's get to know each other." She placed the lasagne in the microwave, heating it up.

"As in...?" Adeen screwed up her face and looked as if she'd smelt dog foul.

Regina chuckled softly at the girl's face. "What's your favourite food?"

"Sugary things." The girl replied, however seeing the woman raise an eyebrow for her to continue she spoke again. She sat down at the breakfast bar. "But mostly ginger cake or banana bread... I like things with ginger in."

Regina knew that, whenever they had been on the diner together, Adeen would speak to her because no one would bother. Adeen generally tended to smell like ginger and slightly smelt of dried blood, but it was covered by the smell of ginger. Ruby would bring over ginger cake and a gingerbread coffee because Adeen never normally had money on her personal.

"What about you?" The girl tilted her head, bringing Regina out of her musings.

"I'm the Evil Queen dear, take a guess." She spoke, before seeing a smirk on the girl's face.

"All indications would lead to apples, the whole poison apple with Snow White, your apple tree and the turnover a few days ago." She shuffled into her seat, taking off her bag and putting it next to herself on the floor. "However, you have other tastes, like your love for lasagne and pasta whenever you're at the diner."

Regina raised an eyebrow; the girl was a lot more observant than she let on, and a lot more intelligent than she let people believe. "You're observant; you may have yet to annoy me." She smirked back at the girl. Who smiled bigger than she would normally do, she'd caught onto that Regina knew her laughs were fake.

"Am I right?"

"You are." She took the lasagne from the microwave after hearing the bleep; she dished up two plates, adding salad to her own. "Salad dear?"

"No thanks." Regina saw the girl look at her with a screwed up face.

"Whilst your here you at least have to eat vegetables four times at dinner for a week." She placed the girl's plate in front of her with a fork, before sitting next to here at the breakfast bar with her own food.

"What else would you like to know?" She rolled her eyes at the information given to her. She took her fork, taking a small corner with it before taking it in front of her face, smelling it first before eating it.

"Is it poisoned?" Regina asked, she felt slightly annoyed the girl had done the actions.

Hearing the woman's tone she looked at her, biting her lip. She narrowed her eyes slightly and snapped her response back. "I haven't had lasagne before. I was seeing if I liked it or not."

Regina looked at her surprised, having not taken that into consideration. "What do you normally eat then?"

"Whatever Ruby gives me." She spoke without thinking and took a few larger bites, already halfway through her meal. After realising what she said she quickly spoke again. "Because I'm always out, so Ruby makes sure to give me a meal before I disappear until 10. It's normally a burger or a dessert. And pasta with veg if Granny intervenes."

"And at home...?"

Adeen then looked away and took another large bite lasagne before speaking again, however she didn't look at the woman. She hadn't realised it but looking away from someone and shifting her weight was how people knew she was lying. "Food."

Regina furrowed her brows before returning to her own food, only half way through her food, seeing that Adeen had already finished she began to think. "What do you like to do for fun?"

Adeen looked at her and smiled, her arms however hadn't moved from around her plate. "Causing havoc." She smirked at the woman, who was about to speak when there was a banging on the door.

Regina patted the girl's shoulder, but felt her flinch just slightly and tighten her grip around her plate. So she was protecting her food because she thought it would be taken. She walked towards the door, opening it to see Dr Whale and a mob behind him.

She smirked and leant slightly on the door, speaking pleasantly and calmly. "Can I help you?"

"That smirk, isn't going to last forever Regina." The man said and he narrowed his eyes. "You took everything from us and now-"

Regina narrowed her eyes slightly not noticing Adeen peeking out of the kitchen. "What? And now you're going to kill me?"

"I am actually, but first you're going to suffer." He said, smirking.

Regina straightened herself and began to look intimidating. "Listening to you has been enough suffering for all of us." She spoke pushing him back down a step. "That's right. You wanted to see your Queen?" She flared her coat slightly and walked down the steps. "Well here she is." She moved to strike the mob with her magic however nothing happened.

Her eyes widened at the noticing of her magic gone. "What...?" She felt herself get pushed up against one of the pillars.

Whale grinned. "Where were we?"

"Get away from her, bastard!" Adeen without realising it rushed out delivering a punch to the side of his head, her eyes were pupil less, but she was glaring at the mob. She made him stagger back and pulled herself in front of Regina, just in time to have Emma and her group of lackeys, along with Henry, Granny and Red burst through the crowd. Emma pulled whale away to stop him from hurting the girl.

Whilst Charming controlled the crowd getting them to leave; Regina looked at the girl shocked, she turned the girl round, placing her hand on her cheek. "You... Protected me." She then noticed how the girl's pupils were gone but was returning again.

"I did..." She looked at the woman and smiled which soon turned into a smirk. "Don't get too used to it."

"Regina are you alright?" Emma asked, looking at the two with a concerned expression.

"Fine sheriff Swan, however Adeen and I were in the middle of lunch." Regina looked at the blonde and spoke keeping her voice even. "So now you have the situation under control as you're meant to do, Sheriff... We're going to finish lunch." She walked back into the house with a strut.

Emma stared after her before looking at the teenager who in turn was sparking up a cigarette and slightly glaring at her. "Hey kid... Are you alright?"

"About what?" She scoffed back and leant on the pillar. "The big bad doctor that came to hurt Regina? If I recall correctly I punched him off her."

A soft call of 'Adeen' was heard in the background which caused said girl to roll her eyes.

"You saved the Evil Queen... Why would you do that?" Henry came over inquiring about why someone wouldn't do something to her.

"I acted on impulse, I didn't think." The girl knew she cared for Regina at least a small bit, however she refused admit it. She was a lone wolf, and she liked it that way.

"But..."

"Adeen Marshall!" Regina appeared by the doorway, hands on her hips looking intently at the teenager.

"Pipe down Ms Mills." She rolled her eyes throwing her cigarette on the floor stepping on it, then picking it up and tossing it into a bin. "If that's all your questions Swan, I'll be leaving." She left and entered the house where Regina was looking at her sternly.

Regina shut the door behind them and looked at her, holding out her hand. "Pass them over."

Adeen glared at her and crossed her arms around her torso. "Or what?"

"Or I'll take you to the study and tan your rear." She spoke without missing a beat, towering slightly over the teenager.

"You're not my mother."

"I'm your guardian for the time being." She moved the hand that was out. "Hand them to me Miss Marshall."

Adeen stalked away from the woman and into the kitchen, her arms crossed over her torso. "No!"

Regina strutted over into the kitchen, turning the girl and grasping her chin between her index and thumb. "You can have two a day, when, is up to you."

"I can have however many I want a day because I'm not giving them to you." She tried to pull back, but failed and settled to just glaring at the woman.

Without missing a beat she turned the girl and delivered a firm slap to the rear before taking her firmly to make the teenager look at her. "There is plenty were that came from unless you hand them over."

The girl glared and pulled out her pack of cigarettes and tossed them to the woman, hitting her on the chest. "There. You have them, now leave me alone."

Regina felt her anger rising quickly, catching the pack she pointed up the stairs, taking a calming breath she spoke. "3rd door on the right. Stay in there until I call for you."

"Fine!" She picked up her things and moved swiftly, grumbling to herself as she did and went straight into the room.
