Find You

~Chapter Two~

Regina let out a small growl as she fixed herself into a sitting situation on the uncomfortable bed. She looked around her surroundings, having realised she was back in her bedroom but how was that possible considering her last memory was that she was walking away furiously from her office after unwanted memories had swarmed her. She sighed deeply before pulling the covers off of her, beginning it her morning routine not wanting to waste any time.

"Good morning" Regina smiled, walking into the kitchen where Zelena sat attempting to feed Robyn. Zelena moved her gaze to her sister where she examined Regina suspiciously that hadn't gone unnoticed by Regina. "What?" She asked, raising one of her eyebrows.

"Nothing… you just seem… happier" Zelena noted. Regina scoffed light as she brought her attention back to her breakfast. "When Emma mentioned she found you at your vault, spell books in front of you about the dead-"

"Wait, what?" Regina interrupted, spinning around to face her sister. "How did Emma find me and more importantly why don't I remember any of this?" Regina questioned, suspicion rising inside of her. "It doesn't matter" Regina shrugged, trying to let it go to the back of her mind but yet it stayed there. "I'll go and figure it out for myself" muttered Regina, walking out of the kitchen at a fast pace.

Unexpectedly when she opened the door, she saw Henry standing there with a concerned look. "Henry? What are you doing here?" Regina asked as she widened the door to allow him to pass before closing it.

"Mom told me about last night" he answered, referring to Emma. Regina made an eye roll wondering who else Emma told this too. But out of nowhere the concern Henry had on his face had all faded away and was replaced with a smile, confusing Regina more than ever. "She mentioned you were researching the underworld and Olympian crystal which led me to do my own research and I found this" Henry smiled, pulling a piece of paper out which Regina was about to take hold when she felt suddenly the entire room shaking uncontrollably with loud sounds of bangs from outside that almost sounded like thunder but not exactly.

Without hesitation, once the shaking had stopped, Regina rushed outside where she saw the residents looking around in confusion at the sudden chaos. "Something isn't right" she mumbled, before going back to her sister to check on her. "Oh good, you and Robyn are fine" she sighed in relieve. "I need you to watch Henry for a while, I'll be right back," Regina said, running out again not allowing Zelena to say anything else.

It wasn't long until Regina had made it to the clock tower where she saw the Charming's running towards her, all sharing the same puzzled look like her. "Regina, are you okay?" Snow asked immediately upon noticing the loss of colour in Regina's face. Regina didn't reply but simply nodded as she looked around. "What was that?" Snow inquired, hoping Regina would have the answer.

"I don't know." Regina sadly admitted. "But I think I know what to do." She smirked as a purple cloud of smoke engulfed her bringing her to her vault. She swiftly examined the place, having felt the source of the small earthquake coming from here. As she looked through the scattered books, trying to see if anything was taken she heard an evil laugh from behind her making her freeze. She bit down on her lower lip as she clenched her fists, taking small steps turning around until she was eyes to eyes with her. "You" she breathed spitefully.

"Miss me?" Regina glared as she looked at the figure in front of her, the Evil Queen. The Evil Queen laughed in amusement looking at Regina. "I do apologise for the earthquake I sent your way earlier, but I've been here for a bit now and things were beginning to get a little… dull." She smirked as she pressed her hands together, sitting down on a wooden chest taking in Regina's reaction carefully.

"What do you want?" Regina spoke after a moment of silence. "And how are you even here?"

"Please, destroying me, a part of you won't be so easy. As for why I'm here, well I am afraid I cannot yet reveal that. But I better get going." She announced looking at her wrist pretending a watch was placed there. "Do feel free to let me know when you want to join me when you are ready." She added in before she disappeared in a purple cloud of smoke.

Regina growled picking up a spell book, throwing it carelessly to the ground. 'How was this possible?' She thought, glancing over at the book to see a page opened catching her attention. Slowly, she took small steps towards the book before bending down so she could get a better view. "The Olympian crystal," she whispered in disbelief.

She quickly scanned the page as it told all of the information about it when suddenly she stopped. There it was, the subheading exactly saying: When the crystal is used on someone!

"Henry" Regina shouted out, running into her house bursting to tell her news to Henry only to remember he had his own news. Not long after slamming the door shut, she saw Zelena peak her head around the door to investigate what was going on.

"Oh sis, thankfully you are okay." Zelena sighed in relief, coming out all of the way with Robyn in her arms. "Henry is upstairs in his room, something about the storybook." She explained vaguely which Regina nodded to heading straight up the stairs.

"Henry. Henry, I need to speak with you." Regina stated, furiously pounding on the door which was quickly swung open by Henry himself looking at his mom confused.

"Mom, what is going on?" He inquired, panic evident in his voice. Regina sighed, as her memories wandered back to the Evil Queen. "Mom?"

"It doesn't matter Henry." Regina smiled, deciding she could deal with the evil part of herself later. "I need to show you something." She pulled out the book, flicking through the pages before stopping on the information. Her eyes lit up as she watched Henry look at it before a giant smile on his face crept up.

"Is this real?" He asked, looking at his mother who nodded excitedly at him. "That means Robin…"

"…Isn't really gone" she finished for him, feeling the hope rise up inside of her as she thought about the possible thought she could be reunited with her soulmate one day, soon hopefully.

Sorry for the short chapter recently, I will expand more in the near future I just wanted to type it and edit it so it can be put up as soon as possible. It isn't the best work as I feel I may have rushed it but I did try and I just needed to move on with the storyline.
