Regina's Pov
I can't let her win I've worked to hard to give into my evil ways I'm gonna prove her wrong and live my life with my family. I sit trying to figure out how long I've been lying awake looking at the ceiling after that
nightmare or conversation I don't even know what to call it. I get up and walk out my room I head to Roland's room which is right next to mine. I silently walk in to see him sleeping, I walk over and kiss him on the
forehead before tucking him in and walking out quietly. I go down to the kitchen and get a glass of water, trying to figure out how I ended up in the bed when we were in the dining room eating dinner. I sigh shifting my
thoughts to my dream with my other half. Someone wrapped their arms around my waist and I jump in surprise dropping my glass "Sorry my love didn't mean to startle you" Facilier says while going to pick up the broken
glass. " It's OK I just didn't think anyone was up" I say looking at him while he finished picking up the glass. "By the way what happened at dinner I don't really remember anything" I ask hoping to get the truthful answer.
"You got tired and went to bed early" Facilier answers. He's lying, when he lies his brows furrows, just like a couple days ago when he was out and didn't answers my calls. I clear my throat "Oh alright I just have been
forgetting a lot of stuff lately" I sigh. "I'm going back to bed" I tell him before walking out the kitchen and back to my room. I lay down in my bed and stare up at the ceiling my thoughts running 100mph, there has to be
some explanation as to why he lied she can't be right he cant be using me for my magic, what is so special about my magic anyway it hasn't changed a lot I mean it seems the same to me- the door opens snapping me
from my thoughts. But its not Facilier I think It's Roland. And when I look up I see my son standing there looking at me, how did I even know it was him?. I sit up, "what's wrong dear" I say " mom can I sleep with you
tonight?". " Are you OK? what's wrong? are you hurt? did-" "MOM! I'm OK I just can't sleep" "Oh OK I'm sorry I just got worried". Should I ask him what happend last night Roland wouldn't lie to me. "Roland what
happend last night I can't seem to remember how I got upstairs" I ask him watching his expression closely. The look of guilt is what said it all, "um... yo-you said you still had some work to finish and wanted to finish up
instead of letting it pile up". He says why is everyone lying to me when Roland lies he get's nervous, there was a long silence he walk to the bed and laid down with me "goodnight mom" he says breaking the silence,
goodnight Roland.
Zelena's Pov
I couldn't sleep I feel really bad for having to lie to my sister, then I'm getting Roland and Robin involved so if she finds out it could ruin their relationship. But I have to stop Facilier He's gonna hurt Regina and a hurt
Regina Is not the Regina we want to see.
Roland's Pov
Mom already fell asleep she must've been up for awhile, I lay there staring at the wall I feel guilty because I lied to her. We made a pact years ago that we would never lie to each other and she's kept her promise on my
hand hand I just broke it and it's eating me up inside I look up at her and even in her sleep she looks troubled, sad, alone, and I can't help but feel like I'm part of the reason why. Mom started shifting in the bed fusing
me to look at her, she was asleep and her body had this purplish hue like it was glowing she started mumbling stuff incoherently, her eyes were squeezed shut and her hands were clenched into fists. " Mom" I say but
nothing I make a movement to touch her but I think otherwise so I continue to call out to her but no response.
Regina's Pov
I was in the dark void again I already knew what was about to happen but I wasn't prepared to face the truth. "Regina... I see you made it" , "what do you want?" I asks
" dear this isn't my doing you brought me here and i'm guessing that everyone you've talked to so far has lied to to your face so how many suspects do we have left?". " I-I they lied but what are they hiding from me,
Roland my Roland lied after we made a promise a pact for only us two to never lie to each other no matter what, so why would he do it?". "Why would they make him lie to me?". " I told you our magic is very powerful-"
"WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT OUR MAGIC IT FEELS THE SAME NOTHING IS DIFFERENT!" I yell my anger rising. " are you sure... " she says pointing at me. I look down to see that i'm almost glowing with magic, like a
purple hue almost like purple fire, "Regina you know I'm right now why would Facilier come out of the blue trying to supposedly have a relationship with you, not only does he want your magic he's hiding some magic of
his own." "What magic is he hiding" I asks trying to get as much truthful answers as I can since there's no one else I can trust. "He's the Dark One..." "WHAT!" , I gasp "that's why he asked me if he could go look
around Rumple's castle but he was supposed to make sure there was no one there but he really just wanted the dagger I should've known and I played right into his game". My anger rising more and more I haven't felt
this way in years, my magic burning bright, the queen was smiling if she just achieved something "well I suggest you go give him apiece of your mind". "Oh absolutely" I say in a dangerous calm voice, I turn around and
the queen is gone leaving me in darkness I sigh and look around in the darkness. Why can't I just be happy, what's the point of being good if your still getting treated as the enemy. I gasp sitting straight up in bed
completely forgetting that Roland was their, I get out of my bed wasting no time to go confront Facilier but as soon as I reach the door Roland's voice stops me "Mom where are you going?" he ask me " I'm going to talk
to Facilier go back to sleep" I say before walking out the room. I walk to the war room slow and dangerous strides, I stop in-front of the war room door, and I can feel his magic I don't know how I haven't noticed it before
his magic is strong but not nearly as strong as me. I use my magic to open the door," My love I thought you were going back to bed" Facilier says when I walk in. "well I did then a little birdie told me what you been up to
these last couple of days... My love do you know one thing I don't like." I ask in a dangerous voice "and what's that Regina" he asks "I don't like being lied to I absolutely hate it, and you see you think your so smart you
see me as stupid... well that's where your mistaken" I say watching the fear grow in his eye's "oh and your not the only one lying to me you all are even Snow Emma and David and their little dwarfs are in on it." I say
enjoying this as every minute goes by " So you thought you could become the Dark One and I wouldn't find out about it. When did you plan on telling me." I ask " I-I-I was going to tell you at the festival", He stutters and
it makes me livid that he gave me this sorry excuse of lie. " DID YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT THIS SORRY EXCUSE WOULD DO A NUMBER ON ME LIKE I WOULD JUST BELIEVE IT LIKE A NAIVE PRINCESS, IS THAT WHAT
YOU THINK I AM A NAIVE PRINCESS" I yell using my magic to choke him.
Zelena's Pov
I wake feeling a strong powerful magic, I get up out my bed and go to Regina's room. I open the door to see Roland looking out over the balcony "where's your mother" I ask him, he turns to me "she said she was going
to talk to Facilier". He answers "something's not right" I whisper out loud "she was glowing in her sleep and she kept saying something but I couldn't hear what she was saying" he tells me. "And as soon as she woke up
she was walking out the room to go talk to him." Roland says "Roland stay here until I get back OK don't leave" I tell him I'm panicking cause if what I think is going on then he doesn't need to be in the crossfire. I rush
out the room and go to Robins room "MOM! what's going on" she asks me "I need you to stay with Roland I need to go find your aunt and make sure everything is OK he's in her room DO NOT I MEAN DO NOT leave until I
come back understand" Robin shakes her head in understanding then rushes out the room to go be at Roland's side. Once they were both in Regina's room I put a protection spell on the room and started following where
the powerful magic was coming from. I stopped at the war room door, the magic was coming from here and It was stronger as if every second it's growing more and more. I open the door to see my sister choking her
boyfriend in the air yelling and screaming at him about why does he keep lying and does he think she's stupid. Facilier looks at me I can tell he can't breath but he doesn't seem to look like he's about to pass out or lose
conciseness. Her eye's glowing purple an they looked crazed it was like she was a whole other person. "Regina what's going on" She froze and dropped Facilier on the ground he started coughing and gasping for air. I look
at Regina, and she looks at me her eyes glowing a darker purple. "What does it look like sis?..., he betrayed my trust and now he's paying the price". She tells me "Regina your not yourself-", "I AM MYSELF THIS IS ME
THE ME YOU ALL BEEN TRYING TO GET RID OF SO NOW HERE I AM!" she yells. Her eye's are flickering from brown to purple as if she was fighting with herself, the air suddenly became thick it felt almost hard to breathe.
"Regina look at me" she turns her attention to me and I can see in her eye's that she was having trouble fighting against her magic. "Regina I will tell you everything I will stop hiding things from you but you have to
promise me that you will fight against her the whole way" I say in a calm voice. She stares me down looking for any lie in my words then her eye's stop glowing, her legs give out and she lands in a Heep on the ground but
she didn't bother getting up she just sat there. In a daze, tears were staining her cheeks, "I can't control it Zelena" she whispers "I will help you that's what sisters are for we help each-other out" I say. Regina looks up "I
don't deserve any of you I'm a monster, no matter huh ow hard I try to be different I always end up going back down this path I'm gonna lose everything just like I lost Robin" she tells me more tears streaming down her
face "Zelena I just want to be happy" she say's between sobs.
Regina's Pov
I broke down I couldn't handle to a continuous lose things that I care about, I'm so tired of feeling like the bad person as if I don't belong here. "Regina no matter what I will be there even if you give up I will be there"
Zelena tells me. I don't deserve her as a sister, "I don't deserve you I'm a monster" I tell her "your not a monster, your my sister your a mother to two boys, one that's grown and one that still needs you ti be there". I
stare at her, I know she's right but I don't want Roland to be around me like this, I don't want to hurt him. And as if she's reading my mind " your not going to hurt him Regina and you know that" "DO I! what if I just
blacked out and not remember me hurting him then what l?" I asks between sobs " you know I won't let that happen Regina" she tells me. She holds out her hand to me, I look at it for a couple of seconds then grab on to
it and she pulls me up. "See were in this together" she tells me " What if-" "no what if's I will be there no matter what" she tells me. "We will talk in the morning because after tonight we all need our beauty sleep" she
tells me " OK" I replied. I walked back to my room with Zelena beside me, I feel magic when I walk closer to my door it, it's a protection spell on my room "why is there a protection spell on my room" I ask my sister "oh
um... I felt your magic which was very powerful by the way and I wasn't sure if it was yours so I put the protection spell on the to be on the safe side," she tells me " " is Roland still in there?" I ask. " Yes I had Robin go in
with him" I nod before putting my hand on the door nob, and it took no effort what's so ever to, break the spell. Zelena's just gawking at me, I open the door to see Robin holding her bow and arrow ready to put one
through my brain "OH! sorry aunty Gina I thought you were an imposer mom didn't tell me who I was supposed to do so I just predicted the worst", She tells me. I just nod not sure of what to say about it. "Um...
everything is fine now you can put away the weapon" I say looking at the bow and arrow with caution. She sets her weapon down and then yells "Roland it's safe" I immediately look around noticing that he wasn't in there
"where is he-" "MOM!" Roland yells cutting me off. He crashes into me hugging me "are you OK you were- never mind" , "I know you know about my magic and Facilier it´s OK I'm not mad" I tell him "your not" he asks
me I just nod hugging him closer to me. "I'm not" I repeat "I'm sorry for lying to you instead of telling the truth" he tells me " It's OK" I tell him once again "But it's not I broke our promise, I lied to you when I promised I
wouldn't and you've done nothing but be honest with me even if you were uncomfortable with the truth and I did the complete opposite, and I hurt you and I'm really sorry" he finishes. I look at Roland tears sliding down
my cheeks, "Roland everything isn't black and white everyone makes mistakes and that's OK because your supposed to, that's the whole point you can't get something on the first try so you try again until you get it I've
made plenty of mistakes during my life and still make more but one thing I did learn is that everyone deserves a second chance, and a third chance who am I kidding even a 100 chance because we are made to make
mistakes but we are also made to learn from them so I forgive you OK". Roland nods tears slipping down his cheeks I wipe away his tears "don't cry you did nothing wrong baby, you only acted on instinct and I do that a
lot your father did it all the time". I laugh at the the memory's of my dead soulmate Roland cracked a smile "there you go, we will be OK I will be OK I just need some time to-to think and to figure out what I'm going to do
about Facilier" I tell him "your not with him any more" Roland asks me "no we had an issue and he chose not to tell me about and I got mad and ended it with him" I tell Roland. "were you really happy with him?" Roland
asks me. I think on it and realize I was as happy as I was making myself believe I was so desperate for someone to love me unconditionally, that I couldn't even admit how I really felt instead I was trying to convince
myself on how I wanted to feel but I couldn't feel that way towards another person. I know at some point I have to let Robin go but I'm not ready just yet. I look at Roland "No I wasn't" I say.
