A/N: Sorry this took so long. My wifi has been down and I could do nothing. It is finally working so here is chapter 2.
Sky took a tentative step backwards. She had no idea why the queen thought she knew her and she did not know why she was called Emily.
"Listen, I know you think I am someone you know, but I'm not. I was raised as a commoner and spent all my life alone. I was abandoned at birth. I was drafted to be here and I have been living with these people that have taken such good care of me. I don't know who you think I am, but I am not who you thought I was."
"I am so sorry about that. I am usually more self-composed. I suppose if your name is not Emily then you are certainly not who I thought you were," Regina said seriously.
"Regina, it is definitely her. You remember what Rumple-," Emma tried, but was cut off.
"I know what he said," Regina snapped. "He said that he knew where she was, but would never tell us. I will get him to tell me or I will get you know what to attack."
"Regina, you need to calm down. Do you remember that globe that he has? We can use that and I can prove to you it is her."
"Emma, this is not Emily. Emily would have known it was us."
"That is no excuse. We left her. Sky could be her, but I need that globe to prove it."
"Fine, get the imp. Sky, can you go back to training? I am so sorry for this whole situation."
"It is fine, Your Majesty. I really don't mind. Please don't get your hopes up that I am someone you are looking for. The only people who look for me want revenge and I don't want to be locked up in the dungeons. I have some training to do and I have a prince that needs some pointers. Neal, I think we can get one more round of swords in don't you?"
Sky and Neal took their positions and Sky was the first to lunge. Neal attempted to block it and he did for about 2 seconds, then he just fell and Sky successfully tackled him. They both laughed and Sky helped Neal up. She stated that he needed to counter her own weight. Se suggested that he put his whole body behind swings when she was open and just his arms when she is narrow. He also needed to work on his form. He just needed to keep his body in a small space so she couldn't strike him. While this kept going on, Emma summoned Rumplestiltskin and had the globe. This globe let you find any living bloodline with a single drop of blood. Emma took Regina's hand and a drop of blood was extracted and landed on the globe. Regina was sure that there would not be one, but the dot landed right where they were. Regina gasped. This couldn't be possible. She was supposed to come back years ago. Regina slowly turned to Sky and could see that it was Emily. The dark brown eyes and brunette hair told her that it was her little girl. The unmistakable smile told Regina that she did the right thing, but it was now time for her to get her family together.
Regina walked towards the two warriors, when the noise signaled that it was time for hand-to-hand combat. Neal and Sky walked over to the arena for battle. Regina then came up with a brilliant plan, but if it worked, she would be putting Emily at risk. She didn't care about that because if it was Emily, her family could finally be complete. She teleported over to her vault and took out a ring. She then cast a spell and the ring was gone. If this Sky was Emily, the ring would be on her hand and glow. She teleported back to the arena and then she saw the most amazing thing. The ring was on Sky, it was glowing, and then Sky was beating Neal. She felt so proud and Emma could sense that there was something. Emma followed Regina's line of vision and saw the ring. The ring was a gift from Charming and Snow for the Regina's newborn. It was enchanted so it would lead back to the rightful owner and glow brighter and brighter the closer it got. This ring was to be given to the child when she was old enough to walk and talk. Regina never had a chance to give it to her little girl because 'it' had come for the girl. Regina did the worse thing she ever did, and sent her away. She took the powers of her child and stopped looking for her when she didn't come on her 16th birthday. The prophecy said that she would come when she is 16 and she would be with her family and the second great battle would begin. The creature of the darkness would come out and the new savior would be able to send it back to where it belongs, but only when she embraces who she is and foes from her instincts.
Neal and Sky were really into the whole fight and didn't notice that all the other recruits were looking at the duo and their strength. The playing field was even between the two, but Sky was just a bit better. Her skill was no match to his strength. Before long, there were bets being placed on who will win? Lots of people thought it would be Neal because of his strength, but in the end, Sky came out he victor. The whole crowd cheered Sky on. She had Neal face flat and helped him up. She ordered him to sit out. Neal was taken for a rest and when Sky asked who would be next, everyone ran. Typical. People afraid of the strong one, even if she is very little. She liked that she was feared by some people, but now she can't spar with anyone. Then the noise was heard and everyone went into the castle.
Regina approached carefully and asked Sky when her birthday was. Regina didn't know what she expected as an answer, but hoped that her Emily did have a birthday close to her actual birthday.
"I was told it was September 9. I never knew my real birthday, so Ruby and Eugenia gave me one when they found me. I was found and was old enough to do simple tasks and somehow I was able to walk before I was taught."
"Wait. Ruby and Eugenia, as in Ruby and Eugenia Lucas?"
"Yes. They said they talk to the royals all the time, so I am usually in the village and sometimes cause trouble with the thieves. They really don't like it when I give their stolen goods back to their owners."
"I am going to get back at that wolf pup. I do talk to Ruby, but when she said there was a girl that she was taking care of, I didn't know it was you."
"I have no idea who you are and I doubt you know every single one of your subjects, so who am I to you?"
"How about you come with the rest and get some rest? You fought hard today and you are certainly going to get a good position. Good luck with the rest of your training."
Sky reluctantly went with the others to get something to eat. There was not many choices, so she got some potatoes and then some salad, plus an apple. She was a vegetarian after all. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy and she didn't know why. She didn't realize that there were so many left over apples because no one ate them. All the others were afraid of being poisoned. They knew the Evil Queen is now Queen Regina, but in the end they never knew when someone might collapse from eating an apple in that castle. She didn't take long to eat, so she went on an evening jog. The sun was setting and it was the perfect opportunity was go and look at the sunset from the top of a tree. She looked for the biggest tree and climbed it with ease. She settled down on the top branch and enjoyed the peace of nature. The sky changed form a fiery flame to a gentle night. She had to admire the amount of serenity that is provided by a sunrise and sunset. She always loved looking at the last light and first light of the day.
She was about to climb down and return, so Se could see sunrise, when she heard something. She froze, something was coming. No one is usually coming out at this time. What if it was a monster? What if it was an ogre? It couldn't have been an ogre, there was a barrier around the castle. Her heart beat so fast, it could have burst. She does what she always does when she feels threatened without a weapon. She quickly grabbed a branch and climbed down and hid behind another tree. She could hear footsteps and talking.
"Regina, what is going on? You had the perfect opportunity, why didn't you take it?"
"Emma, you heard what she said, she was alone all her life. I did that to her. WE did that to her. You remember when you found your parents."
"Yes, but she has Ruby and Granny. They have taken such good care of her and look at her. She is beating up my brother. She has so much skill and so much potential."
"She is not ready. Can't we do something to get her out of the field. I need to talk with her and that will not happen if she is fighting ogres. She is in enough danger as it is and I will not let anything happen to her."
"Regina, I get it, I do, but she deserves to know the truth. She needs to know about her background, her family, about us. She should have to choice if she wants to be with us or not."
"I can't let her know us and then have her leave us. She is your daughter. She's a runner. I will not lose her because she I knows. I would rather have her here and not know me then have her know me and then leave."
"She will not leave forever. She will come back, like I always do. You can't hide away your feelings like you have for so long. Also, what about Henry? I think he would want to know his sister."
"He knows that she exists. He can get to know her when he is teaching her combat."
"SHE DOESN'T NEED ANY HELP! She has my strength and your brain and both our hearts. Pure and resilient. She is the best of both of us. If you don't tell her, I will. I believe that she should have a right know about her family."
"What if she has that part of me? What is she goes dark? What if she becomes to powerful and turns out like me or my mother?"
"You can't think like that. You saw her. She is strong, resilient, stubborn, talented, and kind, just like her amazing mom. She is more like you and I love that. She even looks like a mini you."
"She does have your long locks, but they are brunette. She also has, Snow's chin, which is very annoying because now she looks like an UnCharming."
"Don't call them that. Can I please tell her?"
"If you want to talk to her, fine. Be my guest. Sky, you can come out. I know you heard the whole thing. Ms. Swan here wants to tell you everything, though I think you know enough to figure it out."
Sky walked out slowly and could see the smirk on Regina's mouth and the shocked expression from Emma. She already was able to piece most of it together, but now she needed the full story. The issue was that she has just been caught listening and all she could think was I am in some really deep shut right now.
