Once they got back to the house Cora put Regina down and said "how about you get in the bath while I get some work done."

Regina said "Emma and the others, they are going to come for me. Aren't they?"

This seemed to make her mother angry, she held Regina's arms roughly and said "no dear, they are not. I'm not going to allow that."

Regina said "but what if you cannot stop them?"

Cora rolled her eyes at the young girl and said "you know how powerful I am Regina, do you really think they could stop me?"

Regina looked down at her hands and said "no mommy, they wouldn't." Regina wished they would. They were all so kind to her. She wanted to be back with them. Regina didn't want her mother to hurt them either.

Cora said "now that's what I like to hear, now go get in the bath."

Regina nodded before making her way up the stairs. She found what looked like a bathroom. But she didn't understand how the bath worked. In her world, a servant would heat the water and put it in the bath for her. Regina didn't know how to put water in this one. There wasn't even a lake.

She went downstairs, she didn't want to ask her mother. Regina didn't really have choice. Either way her mother would be angry. She would be even more angry if she didn't get in at all.

Her mother sat in the living room. She was now wearing clothes from this world as well. Regina didn't like it. When Cora saw her she said "why are you not in the bath."

Regina bit her fingernail as she mumbled "I don't know how to make it work. I was hoping you could help me."

Cora stood up and went towards her daughter. She pulled her hand away from the girls mouth and said "first, remember what I said. A lady doesn't mumble and she certainly doesn't chew on her nails."

Regina said "I'm sorry mommy, I won't do it again."

Cora shook her head with a disappointed look and said "we both know that isn't true dear, nothing goes to that brain of yours."

Regina didn't understand why her mother had to make fun of her. Snow was wrong, her mother definitely didn't love her. Why she didn't know. Regina loved her.

Cora took Regina's little hand in hers and said "let's go figure that bath out."

Once they arrived water magically appeared in the bath. Regina said "where are the servants mommy? Who's going to make dinner, and clean the house."

Cora laughed to herself as she said "we will from now on. People around here don't have servants."

Regina nodded like she understood but she didn't. Her mother always told her that they were Royal and shouldn't ever do jobs of a servant.

Cora left her afterwards and Regina got into the bath. When she got out another question came to her mind. She didn't have any clothes. What was she to wear?

She would need to interrupt her mother again which she really didn't want to do. She wrapped herself in a towel before going back down stairs to find her mother.

When she did find her, Cora said "what do you need now."

Regina said "I'm sorry mommy, but I don't know where my clothing is."

Cora said "I left a nightgown on your bed, which you would have found if you would use that brain of yours."

Regina said "oh, I didn't see it. Thank you." She went to go back upstairs when Cora said "don't bother me again my dear, I'm sure you can find some way to entertain yourself."

Regina nodded, before going upstairs and to the room which was now hers. She found the clothing like her mother had said and got dressed.

She knew she would need to comb her hair but she couldn't, she didn't have a brush. She certainly couldn't ask her mother for one either. So instead she looked around the strange house. Regina made sure to stay up stairs.

After looking through most of the rooms she found one other one. When she opened it, she found many interesting things. There were some books with pictures. Regina decided to look through them. She found them very interesting.

Regina wished Emma and her parents would come and get her soon. Regina needed them to find her daddy. She knew her mother would help her look for them. She wanted to see them all again as well, they were her friends.

Regina suddenly heard her mother yelling from down stairs. She rushed down to see who she was talking to. When she reached the end of the steps, her friends stood at the doors Regina tried to rush to them but her mother grabbed her arm and said "what did I tell you."

Regina said "they are not bad mommy, trust me. I just wanted to say hello."

Cora shook her head angrily and looked towards Emma and said "I told you to stay away."

Emma said "I'm not leaving Regina with you. You may be her mother but you don't deserve her."

Regina tried once again to get out of her mother's clutches but had no luck. She really wanted to go to Snow. Give her a big hug.

Cora said "she is staying with me, leave us alone."

Regina stomped her foot and said "no mommy I don't want them to leave us alone. They are my friends."

Cora pushed them back with magic and locked the door. Regina stood there barefoot and instantly became afraid. Her mother was going to be so mad.

Cora knelt down next to Regina and said "those people are not your friends. They want to take you away from me. They are evil Regina. You will never see them again."

Regina started to cry and said "if daddy were here he would tell you the same thing."

Cora held the girl's chin roughly and said "well daddy isn't here with us, plus we both know who he would agree with. Go to your room and go to sleep. I will be up later to check on you."

Regina wiped the tears from her cheek and made her way to her room.
