Flashback/Dream

"Fenix dear it's time to wake up" a female voice floated through Fenix's ears, Fenix opened her eyes slowly blinking a few times, and she looked towards the voice. It was a women Fenix sat up in bed quickly her eyes wide open.

"Calm down dear it's just me" the voice said soothingly, Fenix relaxed instantly

"I have noticed you're a magic user was you're mother a witch?" the women asked Fenix looked up at the women confused

"I don't know" Fenix said softly

"Hmm, well I can teach you how to use your magic if you like?" the kind women offered Fenix smiled and nodded her head in excitement. The women smirked, she may have one daughter that she has already was currently shaping into a Queen, and her other daughter she got rid of, she defiantly deserves mother of the year award. Fenix climbed out of bed to get ready for the day she has only been with this women for a few months now and she couldn't wait to get started on working with magic. The women said she has to remain quiet and hidden that no one could know she was in the castle and that's what Fenix did she kept to herself and she was small so she was good at hiding the only person who knew she was even there was… Cora. Cora had a certain way she was going to teach the small blonde head girl and she couldn't wait. Whenever Fenix got something wrong she felt a sting on her back, the first time she yelped which earned her a harder whip so after that she kept her mouth closed. Tears would sting her eyes as she held back the sobs and tears as Cora used her magic to whip her body,

"You would think you would off learnt something by now" Cora smirked Fenix refused to say anything worried if she did the tears would start, after another attempted of the spell Cora was currently teaching her she got it. A sigh escaped her lips and a smirked graced Cora's lips as she took a step towards the small girl

"Good-girl, now let's see if you can do it again" Cora purred inches from Fenix's face, Fenix gulped as she was about to do the spell again and she noticed her hands shook. She took a deep breathe in and let it out slowly calming herself 'magic is emotion' that is what Cora told her before they started. When Fenix had calmed down a little bit so she could think so did the spell and Cora looked at her with bright eyes

"Well done dear" Cora purred she gripped Fenix's hair roughly as she brought the younger girl into a rough kiss. Fenix froze she was only five years old and this old women was kissing her she tried to fight her but Cora's grip was too hard, a whimper fell from her lips. Cora threw Fenix to the ground, that when Fenix curled herself into a ball trying to hide herself and make herself smaller

"Get up" Cora hissed she wasn't going to let this girl be weak Cora used her magic to lift up the young girl and whipped her really badly along her stomach the cut started under her right breast that had yet to develop down to her left hip a scream tore through her throat as blood seeped from her body

End of flashback/dream

Fenix woke up with a gasp and grabbed her stomach. She jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom she just made it before last night's dinner came up after what seemed like forever Fenix laid on the cold tiled floor, she closed her eyes as tears fell down her face she ran her hand along the scar. She knew that's how she really got the scar, Regina told her she got it in a car accident. Fenix didn't know how long she was lying on the ground for but she heard a knock at the door, so she dragged herself off the floor and quickly washed out her mouth with mouth wash and went downstairs slowly her head was pounding and her stomach felt queasy. She opened the door not really surprised to see Regina there, her first thought was to slam the door in her face, but she knew she couldn't so she opened the door wider and the brunette walked in

"Fenix, are you okay you ran out last night and haven't answered your phone" Regina asked in concern the younger blonde looked to pale and looked like she was going to faint.

"I'm fine, I fell asleep as soon as I got home sorry" Fenix lied

"You don't look so good are you okay?" Regina asked worried

"I'm fine" Fenix sighed running a hand through her hair.

"You aren't okay, you look really pale and you look like you are going to faint any second" Regina frowned. Fenix glared at the brunette

"Can you stop acting like you actually give a dam about me" Fenix snapped Regina stepped back where was this coming from is

"I do care about you" Regina said softly Fenix was getting frustrated that dream she had seemed so freaking real and she didn't know what to do anymore. Fenix exhale noisily before walking more into the house Regina followed her closing the door behind her.

"Fenix what is going on ever since yesterday you have been acting… off" Regina frowned she couldn't place her finger on it but she was generally really worried about the younger women that has wormed her way in her heart. She can't really remember who she was in the Forbidden Forest she wasn't sure if she had ever met the girl but for some reason she was very protective of her. Fenix bit her lip should she tell Regina about these dreams or should she just keep them to herself a little longer. Regina noticed the frown on Fenix's face as she got lost in her own thoughts. Fenix knew she couldn't tell Regina, not yet she mortared on a fake smile

"Honestly Reggie I am fine" Fenix smiled Regina sighed she knew she wasn't going to get anywhere with Fenix with this topic so she let it drop, pretending to give up Fenix will tell her when she is ready or so she hopes.

"So what's on the agenda for today" Fenix asked

"Well I might need you to get Henry from school and take him to Archie's, pick him up after his appointment take him home and cook him dinner" Regina rambled

"Sure" Fenix grinned

"Working late again?" Fenix presumed

"Yes" Regina sighed she loved being Mayor she truly did but sometimes she just wishes she killed everyone things would have been a lot easier.

"I better get going, I have a lot to do I will see you tonight" Regina smiled as she left. Once the door closed Fenix sagged onto a close by seat resting her head on the cold marble kitchen counter. Before Fenix could even more another knock sounded on the door much to Fenix's confusion it wouldn't off been Regina she would off walked straight back in she must of dreamed it, but when it happened again Fenix got to her feet and walked towards the door for the second time that morning. When she opened it she saw someone she wasn't expecting.

"Um, Hello" Fenix said blinking

"Uh, Hi" the women smiled a slight blush covering her cheeks

"How do you know where I live" Fenix asked narrowing her eyes

"I saw you running from the Mayors house upset so I followed you home, I was going to see if you were alright but it looked like you didn't want to be disturbed" the women said running her hand through her hair. Fenix sighed and glared at the women

"Emma, I could have you up for stalking you know" Fenix said raising her eyebrow in annoyance

"I'm not stalking you I was concerned I thought she hurt you" Emma shrugged sheepishly

"Because you believe she is the Evil Queen" Fenix said rolling her eyes

"Henry told you about operation Cobra" Emma said shocked

"Operation… what no, he showed me his story book and told me that he thinks Regina is some sort of Evil Queen" Fenix said confused. Emma bit her lip as Fenix narrowed her eyes

"As you can see I am fine, you can leave now" Fenix said

"I'm not the enemy here" Emma whispered. Fenix stopped closing the door and looked at the older blonde,

"I never said you were" Fenix said raising her eyes brow

"No, but you are treating me with some hostility, I am guessing Regina told you who I am, I'm not here for Henry" Emma said and flinched at her words

"I didn't mean it like that, the kid found me and dragged me here saying this women is the Evil Queen but I have seen nothing but love" Emma said Fenix sighed and opened up her door more, she knew she was going to regret this. Emma saw the invitation and walked in,

"Thanks" Emma whispered as she walked past Fenix

"The lounge-room is through there, I'll get us something to drink" Fenix nodded. She didn't know why she let this women in her house she didn't seem threating but Regina is her friend and she never realised it but a mother like figure to her so her natural reaction was to shut this women out because she (meaning Regina) didn't like Emma. Fenix grabbed two glasses of apple juice and walked into the lounge-room.

"Regina isn't a monster, she loves Henry more than anything, she puts him first she would do anything for him" Fenix whispered playing with her juice before taking a sip

"I can see that, then why does he keep saying that?" Emma asked

"I don't know, he is ten so maybe this is his way of rebelling early" Fenix shrugged

"I'm going for sheriff" Emma said quietly

"What, I thought you were leaving" Fenix said shocked

"I was going to but Henry is unstable and well I know it will piss of Regina" Emma shrugged Fenix sighed this wasn't going to end well. Emma stayed over for about another half an hour before she left. Fenix made herself something to eat and then distracted herself until she had to get Henry from school, while he was at Archie's she went over to Granny's for some coffee while she waited when they got back to the mansion she cooked up Spaghetti Bog, she made Regina a bowl and put it in the fridge ready for the brunette for when she got home. They sat down and ate in silence Henry looking up at Fenix every now and then

"What is it Henry" Fenix sighed

"Emma told me she came and saw you" Henry said looking down Fenix tensed of course she did

"I also have a question" Henry asked softly which caused Fenix to tense even further when Fenix didn't say anything Henry continued

"You reaction last night to Cora, what was that about, do you remember her or?" Henry asked

"I have no clue what you are talking about Henry now finish your dinner" Fenix said stiffly Henry sighed he knew he won't get anywhere so he gave up, after he and Fenix finished eating he did the dishes and went up to his bedroom to work on his Homework while Fenix paced back and forward in the lounge-room unable to settle, she was in that much distress she didn't even hear Regina get home,

"Fenix" Regina asked concerned Fenix stopped what she was doing and smiled

"Oh, Regina your home" Fenix chuckled awkwardly

"Didn't you hear me drive up?" Regina asked

"No I was a bit distracted" Fenix chuckled

"Well I better get going, you look tired, I made Spaghetti bog for dinner I made you up a bowl in the fridge you just got to heat it up, I will see you tomorrow" Fenix smiled she gave Regina a quick hug before she made her way home and got ready for bed.
