Miss Moving On
Marian watched her husband pace.
As he thought her to be asleep.
Why was he pacing?
What was he thinking about?
Marian slowly got out of bed, and nearly scared Robin.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Robin asked, after a moment.
"No…I was already, awake." Marian answered.
But, she rose and walked towards him. "Are you okay, Robin?" She asked.
"Yes, of course I'm alright." Robin said, with a smile.
"You sure? You've been acting rather weird lately."
"I'm fine, love, honest I am." Robin said, with a smile. "I'm just glad to be with you, is all." As he gathered her in his arms, and gave her a tight hug.
####
David lay awake on his back.
Not knowing how well he was taking this news.
"Did you know that Emma was dating Hook?" He turned to ask his wife.
Mary Margaret sighed, and rolled over to face him. "Yes, I knew." She said.
"And they didn't tell me!?" David cried, rising to his feet.
"They didn't tell me, David, I just kind of guessed." Mary Margaret replied.
"And you didn't think to tell me?"
"Well, they said they didn't want anyone to know about it at the time, and I wanted to respect that!"
"Respect that? Snow, we're her parents…we're supposed to protect her—"
"From what? David, the world?" Mary Margaret asked. "David, I know you love her…I do, too, but she's old enough to make her own decisions, and she loves Hook."
"How do you know that she's supposed to end up with him?" David asked.
"What if he returns to his old ways, and is just playing her?"
"Charming, I seriously doubt that." Mary Margaret said, with a straight face. "Hook has made a real change since Neverland, and he's proven himself to Emma. He's proven himself to me, because he saved you."
David's head snapped. David sighed.
"I guess, that's true…I guess, this is just the overprotective father coming out, isn't it?"
Mary Margaret smiled, and got up to meet her husband before going to check on their son.
####
Regina hurriedly went down the stairs, after she heard pounding on her door.
She opened it to find Belle standing there.
"Belle, what is it?" Regina asked.
"We need to gather the town…it's the Snow Queen," Belle said, quickly before leaving the mayor's steps.
Regina watched her go, before closing her door, and quickly changing. She headed for the school auditorium, where they had held so many town meetings before.
####
Emma had no idea what was going on, but as they found their seat near the front, she could find out who it involved. Gold was standing there, along with Belle and Regina. Right beside them, were here parents.
Her father, had taken the news of Killian and her being together quite well, actually. But, that of course, was only seen from their apartment…who knew how he reacted in his own home or outside. Which she was thankful for.
Mary Margaret walked over to her daughter, baby Neal in her arms.
"Would you mind holding him for a while?" She asked. Emma smiled, and nodded and reached for the sweet baby.
The baby made a soft noise, before Mary Margaret returned to her husband's side.
"Order," Regina said, from the podium on the stage.
#####
"Order, please."
She looked around, before her eyes rested on Robin and his family. Regina gulped, before turning her attention away from her ex-lover and turned to the audience.
"Town of Storybrooke, I hate to have to inform you that we have yet another crisis in our hands. No one is allowed near the woods, no one can be alone at this time. If you see a woman, with platinum silver hair and is wearing a blue dress, do not go near her, get away from her. She is dangerous."
"What is thing you're talking about?" Leroy questioned.
"That thing is known as Ice Queen, and we have no idea how powerful she is." Regina said.
"I have a name you know,"
####
Everyone in the room paused, and stared at the woman coming up the aisle.
Regina smiled, staring at the woman. "I'm sorry, I seem to have not have caught it. What is it?" Regina asked.
"My name is Elsa, and I've been trapped for many years in a prison, and I won't be satisfied, until I seek my revenge."
Regina frowned. "Revenge?" Regina questioned.
"Like I said, when we first met, Regina, that I do not like being misunderstood. And I'm going to voice my opinion now…for years I've been told that my powers were bad. That's the reason why I've been locked up for so long."
"Gold locked you up?" Emma asked, looking at the man sitting with Belle.
"I went to Rumplestiltskin three years after an accident occurred in my kingdom, and he did not help." Elsa stated.
"I did not help you, Elsa, because I did not understand what you were…tell me, Elsa would you rather me have killed you on the spot? No, I put you somewhere safe…a place where no one could hurt you, and you couldn't harm nobody."
"So you put her in that dungeon-like place?" Emma questioned.
"I put her there, for everyone's protection, if I can't understand, what makes you think anyone else would." Gold said, defending himself.
"I just wanted to make an official appearance," Elsa said, turning the attention back to her. "Because I want you all to know who you're dealing with, and I won't back down. You all are going to pay because you all get to have your happy endings…well, be prepared to have them ripped away from your fingers."
After her appearance, she disappeared and everyone was in a panic.
"Calm down!" David said, rising to the front. "Please, everyone, calm down!"
"Calm down!?" Granny demanded. "We're about to have another Regina again!"
"Hey!" Emma shouted, handing her brother back to her mother.
Emma rose, and stood beside her father, looking in everyone in the face. "We will get through this. It happened before, and we got through it, we can work through this together."
"You might think it's okay, Swan, but this time we're being threatened by a frozen force…Regina, only took us to another world, and made us forget who are true selves were…she never really killed us. Elsa seems that that might be the case."
"She won't." Regina said, softly.
Everyone turned to Regina. "I have a plan." She said. "A plan, that I wish to discuss in private."
Regina than quickly stalked out of the auditorium into the night.
####
Emma, David, Hook, Mary-Margaret, Gold, and Robin followed Regina out into the night.
"What is this plan?" David asked.
Everyone circled around Regina. "Elsa seems to have a sweet side for me,"
"What? You want to go on her side?" Mary-Margaret asked.
"I'm not saying, I want to be on her side. If I go on her side, I can work from the inside." Regina said.
"No," Robin blurted. "Absolutely not."
"How would it not turn into Gold's situation? What if you become a captive?" Emma asked.
"I won't. Trust me, she may be smart, but I'm smarter." Regina said.
"You can't possibly be agreeing to this," Robin spat. "Don't let her do this!"
"Okay," Mary-Margaret said.
"Mary-Margaret," David said.
"David, I don't want this to turn out like last time, I don't want to lose anymore time with our daughter, and with our new son…if we have something to gain the upper hand I want to use it."
"Good, I will go to her in the morning." Regina said, before turning quickly on her heel and leaving.
####
Regina quickly walked away. Hoping Robin wasn't following.
Tears suddenly began to pool on the edges of her eyes. She wasn't strong enough. She actually liked the idea of being near the enemy, it would keep her mind off of Robin. Because if that didn't work, she'd have to do something other than ripping her heart out, she'd have to drink a potion.
"Regina!"
She sighed, recognizing the voice behind her, and quickening her pace.
"Regina!"
She ignored, and continued walking until he finally caught up to her, and pulled her around by her elbow.
"Why are you ignoring me?" Robin asked.
"Because you've been ignoring me!" Regina said. "Plus, Robin I don't need you."
"Regina," Robin whispered, sort of hurt.
"No, I watch you every day, with your wife and your child…and I know that I could never have that…"
"Regina," Robin said, much quieter. "I honestly loved you…I still do,"
Regina smiled, weakly shaking her head. "But, it would never work out, right? I mean, I am the Evil Queen…"
"That's what you think?" Robin asked. "You think I chose my wife over you because I did not want to be with the former Evil Queen?"
Regina looked into his eyes, and shook her head. "I've got to go."
"No, wait!" Robin said, clutching her hand.
Regina felt her hand being firmly gripped, but she did not turn to face him.
"I fell in love with Regina…not the Evil Queen, Regina…you are my true love…"
"No…you're not mine…I'm sorry, Robin, but I have to let you go." Regina said, her voice thick with tears not wanting to come.
"In order for you and your son to have the best chance at a happy ending, is without me."
Robin frowned, shaking his head, but Regina finally got away from Robin, and continued on to her home. She hoped Robin didn't hear her quiet cry.
