Cora walked up and down the veranda, a white parasol in her hand. Behind her walked a maid, pushing a pram, containing a few month old Regina.
Regina's cries filled the air, annoying Cora, her face was contorted in anger.
"Shut her up." Cora angrily said. Marching faster.
"I'm sorry your highness, I can't." The maid said fearfully
Cora turned on her, and pushed her chin up with her finger. Revealing a scar down her cheek.
"Do you want another?" Cora hissed "Have it sorted."
Cora turned and left the maid alone. The maid looked to make sure she had left, then lifted Regina into her arms, rocking her back and forth. Regina's cries quickly stopped. The maid sat with Regina in her arms, on a bench.
The maid jumped in fear as purple smoke appeared before her. She feared it was Cora come to punish her. But instead a teenager stood in front of her. She was beautiful with grey eyes and dark hair.
"Cora?" she asked with a voice like silk
"Em, No I'm her nurse maid."she stuttered
"This child, is she Cora's?" She smiled, sitting by the maid, allowing the baby to cling onto her fingers.
"Em, yes. Hers and Prince Henry's. Who are you?" The maid stammered
"How rude of me, I'm Ursula. Are you sure this baby is Henry's? and not say Rumpelstiltskin's?"
The maid pulled away in fear. Ursula leaned forward, taking a strand of her hair and stroking it.
"Sandra, don't be nervous tell me the truth." Ursula smiled, eyes shining, invading Sandra's mind, willing her to tell her everything.
"How do you know my name?" Sandra gasped; Ursula looked at her in anger
"Tell me now."
"No, she's not that imps." Sandra cried, it felt like Ursula was in her mind. Ursula sighed, touching Regina's cheek.
"What a pity. I thought I had him this time."
Sandra's breathing deepened, and she pulled Regina close to her. Ursula stood up, and took Regina from Sandra's arms. Sandra tried to fight but couldn't her body was weak.
"I'm sorry Sandra, but I can't let you go tell Cora about me."
Ursula placed Regina in her pram, and waved her arm over Sandra sending her into a deep sleep. Regina began to scream; Ursula laughed and moved Sandra's body over beside the pram.
"Don't worry dearie, we'll meet again."
Ursula sliced open her hand disappearing back into her cavern. This had not gone how she had planned. Cora was meant to Rumpelstiltskin's weakness, but she had arrived too late. The baby though, she could come in useful, the crocodile had plans for her, and interrupting them could be a brilliant revenge.
Ursula sat fidgeting in her cave, annoyed. It was times like these when she wanted to go to The Lost Boys and take Baelfire, make him suffer, then dump his dead body at Rumpelstiltskin's feet. However her fond memories of Milah prevented her, she couldn't hurt the son of the women who had been like a mother to her.
Besides being with The Lost Boys in many ways was punishment enough. Those who refused to work with the shadow were forced into tunnels and caves below the ground to mine for magic. The others terrorized the inhabitants of Neverland and were generally a nuisance. Baelfire was of course in the mines.
Ursula wanted company, leaving her cave she headed straight to The Jolly Rodger. Captain Hook stood on the deck, watching his crew playing card games and drinking. He was angry, nothing was happening, Ursula hadn't visited in years. Hook was beginning to tire of this land, but he had no way to leave, and not yet the guarantee of revenge.
Ursula appeared behind him, making him jump and turn in anger. Ursula smiled sweetly.
"Hook, darling, did I startle you?" she laughed, and walked past me into the view of the crew, revelling in their attention.
"Ursula, how lovely to see you again. Now do you have some news for me?" Hook asked leaning over her shoulder.
Ursula turned into him. His hook pressed up against her neck.
"Unfortunately no. But only a few years, and I promise we will have our revenge."
Hook shook his head.
"You've been saying that for centuries!" Hook shouted slamming his fist onto the railing Ursula was leaning against. He pushed her head up with his hook.
Ursula just smiled, "Patience is a virtue. One pirates clearly lack. I promise you'll get your revenge."
Ursula pushed him away.
"I'll be back soon." She laughed and disappeared into purple smoke.
Ursula watched the lost boys tormenting a local girl, they pretended at first to be looking for the boy. But soon abandoned the pretence. She turned her head, from the hill she could see almost the whole island. Up here she felt at peace, happy and content.
Ursula heard someone moving behind her, breaking her serenity.
"What do you want dear?" she smiled
"Are you Ursula?" the boy asked timidly
"Yes." She smiled, motioning for him to sit beside her. He did as instructed and they stared out together across the island.
"I need help. I need to destroy the shadow, and get back to my family." He said faking confidence.
Ursula just smiled.
"I can't help you, he's too powerful. You have supplied him with too much magic."
The boy sighed and stood up.
"But I promise, if I can I'll get you away from here, Baelfire."
His eyes filled with tears.
"Thank you." He smiled and ran away, back to his prison.
