Lily took out her phone to see Regina had sent her a message. They found Snow White and she was no longer the sleeping cure. David was not so lucky. Regina told her that Lily's mother would be home late. Lily rolled her eyes and closed her phone. Good riddance.

Shoving her phone in her pocket, Lily walked down the street towards the woods, to her home. If Lily had to be honest, the Charmings deserved what the Evil Queen did to them. If she had it her way, they would had suffered a long time ago.

Although Maleficent had forgiven them for stealing their only daughter, Lily didn't. Not completely. What kind of monsters would take a baby from their mother and use them for a vessel to place all their daughter's darkness in? It was sick. They are the real villains, not her mom. Maleficent wasn't an innocent victim, but she would never hurt a child. That was too cruel, even for the mistress of all evil.

Because of them, Lily was taken to this world and had to suffer alone. Her adoptive family didn't want her, nor did Emma when she begged her to come with her when they were kids. For most of her life, Lily was misunderstood, alone. That is until Emma dragged her here to this town. It was hard to adjust to a small town where everyone knew each other and their past. Where everyone was a fairy tale character. It was bazaar, insane.

The only good thing about this town was her mother. Although Maleficent was nothing what Lily imagined, she didn't mind. From what she heard around town, Maleficent could be a scary dragon bitch that was a force to be reckon with, but not to Lily. She was different. She was kind, understand, and too freakin open. It scared Lily. It scares that one day she would wake up and find out this wasn't real. Her mother wasn't real. Maleficent, like everyone else in her life, had abandoned her. That Maleficent didn't want her.

"Well. Well. Well. Look who we have here," Lily rolled her eyes at the voice behind her.

"Shove off," Lily continued to walk down the street.

"What? Did your scary mommy told you not to talk to me?" The Evil Queen asked in a mocking voice. In fact, Maleficent told her to say away from the queen. When Maleficent returned to the diner, she told Lily what happened and asked her to stay away from the Evil Queen. Lily couldn't understand why her mother was so worried. Wasn't she stronger than the queen. All she would have to do was use her magic and the queen would be gone.

"She did, didn't she?" Lily could feel the smirk the Evil Queen had. Lily didn't want to get in to it tonight, she was tired from helping Emma move all of Regina's stuff from the vault. Lily was surprised to hear from Emma, the girl had been through a lot since she had brought Lily to this town. She started to think that Emma had forgotten her.

"Well that's great. I'll do the talking," the Evil Queen appeared before Lily. Lily had to suddenly stop before running into her.

"What do you want?" Lily was annoyed that this woman didn't want to take a hint and leave her alone. Knowing this, Lily stayed, against her better judgement.

"My. My. Such a spitfire," Lily was creep out by the way the Evil Queen was looking at her. She wanted to leave. She was grateful that she didn't wear Evie's necklace this time. "Just exactly what I need. And you're the one who will help me to get what I want."

"And why would I help you?"

"I know you will help me. We both want the same thing. Revenge. You want revenge on the people who wronged you and your mother. Guess what, I want the same thing. The enemy of my enemy is my friend," had it been that obvious that Lily still wanted to get back on the Charmings. She been acting like a good girl since she got there. But the queen's offer was too tempting. Lily knew the Evil Queen's story and she agreed with her. If someone killed somebody that Lily loved, they would pay.

"We both know that Maleficent won't do anything. She's too soft. No, but you on the other hand have so much potential," the Evil Queen placed her hands on Lily's shoulder with pride. "So much untapped magic, the Charmings had a right to fear you. I can see you want to," she was right. Lily wanted her revenge so much. This woman was offering to help her get it. It was so close Lily could almost taste it. "I can teach you things your mother would never would. All you have to do is leave your guard dog and come with me."

"What are talking about?" Lily was confused. She didn't have a pet. The Evil Queen lean in closer and whispered to Lily's ear.

"Someone is watching us," Lily followed the Evil Queen's gaze to see someone walking back in fear. A girl, if Lily had to guess from the dress she was wearing, it was hard to see in the dark. The girl started to run. The Evil Queen rolls her eyes and disappears in a puff of smoke. Although Lily knew that she should leave, something was telling her to follow the two into the forest.

Enchanted Forest

The Evil Queen closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This was the second time this month her men let Snow White slip through her grasps. What do she have to do to get some competent soldiers. The Huntsman wasn't good enough. She opened her eyes to see the kingdom from her balcony.

"Mommy," Regina turned around to see her six-year-old with her hands in the air, wanting her mother to hold her. Regina couldn't resist her daughter's request and carried her. Regina loved these moments with her daughter. Knowing that she could amaze her daughter with the simplest things in life made Regina feel that what she was doing was right.

Evie rested her head on her mother's chest. Regina smelled her daughter's hair, apples. Her daughter smelt like apples. Regina was glad that she had her childhood tree brought to the castle. It reminded her of her daughter.

Evie was starting to get a little too heavy for Regina to carry. This made Regina realize that moments like these where she could carry her daughter was limited. Regina hugged her daughter a little tighter. She could feel Evie smile at her affection.

"Mommy this is my favorite spot."

"Why is that my little bird?" Regina looked to see her daughter's blue eyes staring at her.

"Because it's your room. And I get the see the whole kingdom with you," she said in a matter of fact tone. Regina had to agree. When her daughter was there, this was her favorite room as well.

But that was many years ago. Evie was gone, no longer a little girl. She was almost the same age as Regina was when she met Daniel. What Regina would give to have her daughter to look at her like she did when she was a child. The last time she saw her daughter was months ago. Regina trips to Maleficent's castle lessen, in hopes that Evie would come seek her when she was ready. Regina knew that she should stop visiting the castle, but she couldn't.

Maleficent.

Regina could lie to Evie, to Mal, she could almost lie to herself. She loved Mal. When her time wasn't preoccupied on ways to get Snow White, it often wonders to Evie or Mal. But before Evie wanted nothing to do with her, Regina thought of Mal more. Her honesty, her wit. The way her hair cascade down when she was not hiding it in her horn. The rare, genuine smiles she would give that made Regina have butterflies in her stomach. Maleficent was the only one in this world that truly understood her. that accept her.

Regina would never tell her. she didn't know how to love very well. Although Regina's mother was in another world. Regina feared that if she would fall in love again, they would be taken from her like Daniel was. She couldn't bare that. It would destroy Regina if someone were to take Mal or Evie from her. they were her greatest weakness besides her parents.

Regina's thoughts about the two most important woman in the world ceased when her chamber doors were slammed open. A disheveled solider was panting, holding Regina's door for support, as if he just ran a marathon. Regina threw him a dangerous glance. If he didn't start explaining soon, his heart would be part of her collection.

"Your majesty," he gulped for air. "We found her. We found where Snow have been hiding," he said in between breaths. A malicious smile crept when she heard this. From the queen's reaction, the solider continued. "We located her whereabouts in a small cabin in the woods."

"Show me," victory was so close Regina could taste it.

Storybrooke

Lily finally stopped, her lungs were on fire. Not to say Lily was out of shape, but she hadn't run this much before. She looked up and groan. Trees. Nothing but trees surrounded her. She lost the girl and the Evil Queen. In general, Lily was lost in the woods. Nothing to guide her but the full moon and the star. What good would that do for her? Lily knew nothing about constellations and finding her way home with the stars. She didn't know what direction she ran to. She let out another groan and kicked the nearest tree. She should had listen to her gut and went home. Now she didn't know where home was.

Lily quickly turned around when she heard something fall from behind her. She looked at the ground to see a dark figure. Slowly the figure started to rise, but Lily was not afraid. She wasn't calm either, but the presence felt familiar. As if she knew who it was. When the figure fully stood up, Lily knew who it was. It was the girl that she was chasing. Lily couldn't tell how old the girl was, her face was covered by her dark hood. She wore combat boots and a purple and brown vertical striped skirt. The skirt went above her right knee and all the way down to her left ankle. The girl wore brown tights and a leather corset top with a white shirt underneath that went to her elbows. Her brown wavy hair cascaded over her left shoulder. Her pale skin shone brightly in the moon light.

Lily's eyes wondered to the girl's necklace. Lily's eyes widen as she held her necklace. It was like hers, the stone was part of a dragon's egg. This girl was a dragon, she had to be. However, unlike Lily's necklace, it held three small stones. Sapphire, onyx, and amethyst were stacked one on top of the other on top of the dragon egg. It was beautiful and creative.

Before she had a chance to ask her about the necklace, the girl raised her finger and pointed towards Lily. Lily turned around to see nothing but more trees. She turned around to see the girl was still pointing into the woods. Giving a sigh of defeat, Lily took the hint and followed the girl's direction. If it was a trap, this girl would be sorry.

"Don't trust the Evil Queen," Lily suddenly stopped when the heard the girl's voice. She sounded like someone in their late teens or early twenties. She wished the girl would remove her hood so she would know. She doesn't turn around when she heard the crunching of leaves.

"She cares for no one but herself," Lily looked to her side as the girl stopped beside her. "She doesn't care about you."

"How would you know?"

"Because, she uses people to get what she wants. She used me." In a puff of smoke, the girl was gone. Lily looked around her to see where she had gone, but the mysterious girl was nowhere in sight.

Enchanted Forest

Her solider had led her to a forest, as she started to walk she notice her men did not follow, saying that they were too afraid to follow. Regina huffed and continued forward. Perhaps the men had heard some silly superstition about these woods. More likely they were not true, probably someone had spread these rumors to make sure no one came on the land. There were no such things as ghost or a haunted forest.

There were other witches and wizards in the land, some that were pretty powerful. Not as powerful as her. or were they. Surely Regina could defeat a witch or wizard no problem. But what if it was a coven of them. She would be outnumbered. They would out power her. No one could help her if she were to be attacked, she was too far gone.

Regina stood in fear, how could she be this stupid to go alone, her men were right. They shouldn't had come. Regina started to have a panic attack. She cursed Snow White for venturing into the forest. The coven of witches could have her if they want, Regina didn't care. She wanted to get out of there.

Regina started to run, she wasn't sure where. She did her best to make sure that she didn't trip over any roots or rocks. She suddenly stopped. There it was, the cabin. She found it. It was sitting on a hill, away from any village for miles. It was small, build for a small family. What didn't shock Regina was that she found the cabin, but who was in it. Standing outside on the porch, oblivious to her presence was Evie.

Something click inside of Regina. This was Evie's cabin Maleficent was talking about. Evie was harboring Snow White. How could she? Her only child, how could Evie chose Snow over her? She was her mother. Pushing all fear aside, knowing now that it was Evie's spell that made her afraid of the land, Regina marched forward to the cabin. She was furious at her daughter, so much hate and rage emitted from her Evie could feel this. Evie turned around, shocked that her mother was there.

"Mother?" using her powers, Regina transport herself and Evie back to her castle. Evie looked around, still in shock that she was back in her childhood home.

"You! How could you do this?" Regina strode to the daughter. Evie filched, her mother never yelled at her before. "Answer Me!"

"I ask the same question everyday mother? How can you do this?" there saw so much venom in Evie's voice, Regina had never known her daughter could have so much hate.

"Is this about the boy in the village?"

"Dominick," Evie growled. "His name was Dominick. And no," Evie shook her head. "How can you stand there saying that you love me and then kill my father and try to kill my sister."

"I didn't kill your father, Snow did," Regina was getting more upset with her daughter. Why could she see Snow for the monster she truly was.

"Are you serious mother? I saw you talking to the genie and planning to kill my father. You and that thing killed him."

"He's not your father!" Neither mother or daughter moved from Regina's outburst. She didn't want to tell Evie, not this way.

"What did you say?" Evie asked, making sure she understood what her mother had said.

"The king is not your father," Regina tried to calm herself down.

"Why would you say that?"

"Before I met the king, I met your father. He was a sweet and gentle man. His name was Daniel," Regina smiled at the memory of her first love. "We were young and in love, but it was not meant to be. He was our stable boy and my mother did not approve. She wanted me to marry into royalty, she wanted me to marry the king. She spooked Snow's horse and I chased after her, saving her life. Not soon after, the king thanked me and asked for my hand in marriage. Mother said yes. I didn't want to marry the king Evie. I begged and pleaded to my parents. Me and your father were planning to run away together, that is until Snow White told my mother of our plans. On the night we were going to leave, mother stopped us. She ripped his heart out Evie," Regina's voice grew more hash as she reencountered her beloved's death. Your father is dead because Snow White could not keep a secret. I had to put up with that man and his spoil brat for over a decade."

"Did he know?" Regina looked at her daughter's wide blue eyes that were full of confusion. Regina shouldn't had told her daughter, not like this. It was too confusing for someone to take in. "Did Daniel know about me?"

"I never got the chance to tell him," Regina sadly shook her head. Maybe, just maybe if she would had known she was pregnant and told Daniel, then things could had been different. "I didn't know I was pregnant until after I married the king."

"Did he how that I wasn't his?"

"No," Regina understood that her daughter was asking about the king. "Evie the king didn't treat you right. You were innocent and always second place compared to Snow. Join me," Regina placed both her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "We can have everything we always wanted. You can be queen," Regina smiled, knowing that everything she wanted was so close and she can finally share it with her daughter. They will finally be happy.

"Mama I don't want to be queen," Regina was hurt that Evie walked out of her touch. "I don't want any of this. Killing Snow will not bring Daniel back, it will push me away," tears were forming in Evie's eyes, begging her mother not to go through with this.

"You chose her over your own mother?" Regina was offended that she would chose Snow over her. Snow always took what did not belong to her. Not Evie, she would make sure of it.

"I'm not choosing you over her, I'm doing what's right. If you do this, you will lose me. Mama please there's so many people who loves you, don't go down this road," Evie held on to her mother's hand, hoping to see a part of her that she knew. A part that was kind and caring, the mother she knew she once was and could be again.

"Nobody loves me," Regina roughly removes Evie's hand, "and nobody will."

"I guess I'm a nobody," not baring to see that she had hurt her daughter once more, Regina called in her guards. As quickly as she called them, three guards surrounded the queen and her daughter.

"Take her to her chambers. Make sure she does not get out. If she does, there will be consequences." Without hesitation, the guards grabbed Evie's arms and walked her out. A pang in Regina's heart made her want to tell them to stop. Not because of all Regina had put Evie through in the past few months, but the look of defeat and broken in her daughter's eyes. One day Evie would understand. She was sure of it.
