Regina kept true to her word, she did not go out and look for Henry, she was pretty sure she knew where he was anyhow. At the hospital, where Sheriff Graham was. She and Cataleya went on about their day when Henry left. They properly disposed of the apple tart, there would be no more sleeping curses from that apple, and it was too dangerous for Regina to just leave around the house considering how easily it would be to accidently take a bite of the treat if you were just snacking, also considering the fact that Regina made the treat all the time.
Afterwards the duo made dinner together, they didn't speak of what happened, they already had. It was now their little secret. Henry came home just before dinner time. Regina must have figured someone told him to go home, where he belonged. The streets were no place for a child at night. When he arrived, he didn't talk. He headed straight for his room, as he glared at Regina and Cataleya. Neither paid it any mind.
With a "Dinner is ready" yelled up stairs from Regina, Henry came down and quietly sat in his seat. At first everyone ate in silence, and the tension was high. It wasn't until half way through that Henry decided to break that silence. He turned to Cataleya and said:
"I know what you did today" He glared at her. Regina raised an eyebrow, but kept silent. She wanted to see, and hear where he was going with this. Cataleya ignored him. "I know that you did something to Sheriff Graham and that's why he won't wake up"
Cataleya looked up from her plate, at Henry and then at Regina who shook her head, silently requesting for her not to respond to that. Cataleya obeyed, she went back to poking at the long green beans on her plate. Henry continued.
"You're evil too, you know, if mom is telling you to do her dirty work, and you do it, you're just as evil. I saw you coming from in the alley of the sheriff station, I saw how panicked you we're looking. You're evil just like mom, your just not as good at it" Henry spat.
"Shut up Henry. I'm not evil, and neither is Mom" Cataleya hit the table in front of her causing Henry to jump.
"Yes she is" was his comeback.
"No she is not!"
"Yes she is"
"How can you say that about Mom?" Cataleya asked in disbelief. "What has she ever done to you?"
"She made my Grandparents send my mom away to live alone in this world, without her parents, then she cursed them, she was mean to my family. My real family. She took away their happy endings, and it all was for no reason at all. Just because she is evil, and felt like doing evil things" Henry explained.
Cataleya shook her head. "You're so annoying. And I hate you, so stop talking to me"
"I hate you too. I wish you never came here, I wish you were never born, I wish Mom was never born, then she wouldn't have caused so much trouble" Henry stated dryly.
Cataleya wanted to hit Henry, so that's what she did, she punched him in the arm. Henry didn't know what to do. He didn't know if he should cry, he didn't know if he should hit her back, while he was thinking about what he should do, as he held his arm, he missed the hurt that came and quickly passed through Regina's face. He only looked up one she cleared her throat.
"Cataleya" She started. "We don't hit people" She scolded. "Why don't you apologize?"
"No way" Cataleya answered as if the idea was completely ridiculous. "He deserved it"
"No matter what he said, or did, he is still your little brother" Regina kindly added. She still loved Henry, and she didn't want her kids fighting each other. Especially not physically. She should have intervened with the verbal fight started.
Cataleya still didn't want to apologize, but her mom told her to so she did. "I'm sorry"
"Thank-you dear" Regina smiled. "Henry, it's your turn. You need to apologize to Cataleya"
Henry thought about it for a moment before he shook his head. He stood up from the table and ran to his room and shut his door.
"I'm sorry for that Cataleya" Regina apologized.
With a sigh Cataleya replied. "It's okay"
