A tattoo. There is a black lion tattoo on his wrist. No..that can't be. That cannot be. Regina pushes him away the moment she sees it. Nothing but shock in her eyes while she stares at a confused thief. Robin doesn't get anything of course. But before he can think about it further she interrupts his thoughts. "GUARDS ! TAKE HIM TO THE DUNGEONS !"


The next thing he remembers is waking up in a cell. Her men haive knocked him out as he tried to escape them. What the hell happened ? Why did she do that ? Robin curses himself for something he doesn't even know he had done. How can he think to be able to satisfy her in any way..no he's never good enough. But that is not the point about this. The point is that something he has no idea what it is.


Regina breaks a few things in her chambers to calm down but she seems to have no success. It only gets worse. She feels like Robin plays a joke and tries to kill her somehow. He has to know something. Would he do that to her...? YES OF COURSE, Regina thinks and another golden cup falls off the table.

Henry is on his way to his chambers. He had been talking to some friends about their next hunting trip for many hours. He walks down the long hall as he suddenly hears loud noises coming from his daughter's room. When he knocks and opens the door he finds an angry, cheeks flushed queen standing in her room and throws a glass at the wall. "Regina dear, what's wrong ?" he asks while quickly stepping towards her and taking her arm to get her attention. "I want him gone dead !" she yells and looks back at her dad. "I don't want you here. Go." Henry walks back out and closes the door behind himself, then he needs a minute to think. She probably means Robin Hood. Why now again..? he wondered while rolling his eyes and walking down the corridor slowly.

No one opens when he knocks at his door. She wants his death. Of course...now everything makes sense ! He quickly makes his way down to the dungeons.

"Robin !? Robin Hood !" he looks around to find the young thief. "I'm here." comes the answer from not far away. The older man walks to the cell where the voice came from, just to find a sad-looking Robin sitting in the corner. "Why did she let you bring her here ?" Robin sighs deeply and shrugs before answering. "That's what I want to know." Henry nods. "What were you doing ?" Robin hesitates at that and just avoids his look. "I kissed her. And after about too minutes she just pushed me away and sent me here." Henry tilts his head to the side while watching him. "I think there's something I need to tell you." he says after a few seconds of silence. Robin just stands up and leans against the cold wall, waiting for the older man to speak.

"My daughter met a fairy called Tinkerbell. They got friends when Regina was a bit younger. She wanted to help her find her soulmate. Tinkerbell used some magic and they were led to an old tavern. And in this tavern was the man my daughter was destined to be with as Tinkerbell used to say. Regina was afraid so she ran away." he stopped for a second. "So she never met him. But she did see his tattoo. Your lion tattoo." Robin stares at him and repeats his words in his head. "Wait. It was..Me ?" she asks barely above a whisper and Henry gives a nod in return. "She must have seen your tattoo..I knew you have it but I thought it's nothing I should spesk a word about.." He explains and Robin tries to make out the whole situation. "She lost love before..and it takes so much to get her heart open again. By seeing your tattoo she probably got scared.." Henry shakes his head. "God she was so angry.." he added with a sad tone in his voice.

Few hours later. Morning. Regina wakes up as she hears someone knock the door, who turns out to be her father. "Morning my queen." he says with a warm smile. "Good morning father. It's my free day, what is it that you could want from me to interrupt my sleep ?" she asks and raises a brow but her father answers kindly. "I talked to him..and it's not a reason to lock him up or even kil him.."

"Who ?"

"Why Robin Hood of course."

"Who's Robin Hood ?"...

Henry stares at her and then he spots an empty tiny bottle laying on the table little table next to her bed "No you didn't.."

FLASHBACK

She had one left. A forgetting potion from Rumple. Enough for two. Looking through her mirror to make sure Henry was not near the thief, she took the potion and went down to a certain thief's cell.

In no mood to deal with him she just knocked him out with her magic and made him drink the half of the tiny bottle before walking back to her chambers.

Yes. That was it, she thought while watching the liquid. She wanted to forget about him.

The potion tasted weird. It was kind of cold and also warm. Like it wanted to pull something out of her. The bottle was empty now and the queen fell asleep...till the next morning.
