Chapter 11
Cry….that was all she could do now. It seemed as Robin and Marian had disappeared out of her life. She tried getting the police to help her but they told her the situation didn't look like it was a kidnapping or anything of the sort. She even asked several people around the hotel who might have seem them but no one seemed to know where they went. This was turning out to be a nightmare for Regina. At the end she found herself paying for another night at the hotel in the same room she and Robin shared hoping that they might come back. She also realized much later that her tickets were missing so there was no point in going to the airport since they won't tell her anything either.
Her mother had called her several times over the day and now it was nighttime. She was sitting on the floor crying; she didn't know what to make of this. Was all Robin said was a lie? What about last night? 'I gave myself to him. How could he leave me like this here all alone after vowing to take care of me'. She looked her ring and kissed it. "No, there might be something that I don't know of, Robin wouldn't do this to me, he loves me" hope was her last strength. She hoped for his return and takes her with him.
RING RING RING RING…..RING RING RING RING…
"ROBIN!"
"Hello Regina, this is your mother dear. What is going on?"
"…nothing mother, I was just uh uh…."
"Dear I tried to call Robin and Marian several times but something is not right, their number is coming out invalid, would care to explain what is happening over there?"
"…..sob..sob…sob…."
"Regina! Whats going on Regina? Why are you crying?"
"….sob…mother…..sob…. he's not here mother, he's not here, he left me at the hotel" at the admission Regina just broke down and started crying harder. Reality was being cruel to her.
"Regina please take a hold of yourself and stop crying, you need to tell me where you are and I'll come pick you up right away, my child" Cora insisted.
"Um no mother not right now I want to be alone and wait until tomorrow morning for Robin's return but after tomorrow you can come pick me up" She still felt as if there was a chance of Robin returning to her. With that she hung up the phone on her mother and fell to deep sleep on the floor with tears running down her cheeks.
(Cora and Henry's room)
"Cora who were you talking to?" asked Henry.
"That was our daughter, Regina" Cora replied feeling tensed and worried.
"Dear this is no time for jokes, she's in the airplane right now and there is no way it could have been her you were talking to her then" Henry theorized with seriousness.
"I am being serious Henry, out daughter is in some hotel without her husband who just left her there all alone, I don't understand what is going on over there….OUR DAUGHTER WAS CRYING" she yelled.
"Darling please sit down" Henry tried to relax his beating heart as well as was trying to calm down Cora.
"Ohh my poor baby, she's all alone out there and she doesn't need me" Cora sobbed out.
"That's not true dear, she needs all of us, we need to bring her home immediately. We need to head out now" he comforted her.
"I asked her where was she but she didn't say anything she said she wants to be alone that she wants to wait for Robin to show up" Cora explained.
"Why did Robin leave her? Why would he do that?" asked Henry trying to figure out why was this happening to their daughter.
"I don't know, I never imagined this was going to happen. I have always been cautious of everything when it came to Regina even though it meant being hard on her and hurting her feelings but that was all for her best interest. I didn't want her to have a failed future. Oh god this is all my fault Henry, she will never forgive me for this" Cora was now full on crying.
Henry held Cora tying to sooth her with his loving words, "No, my dear she won't because she knows what ever you have done for her was for her best but this will break her, this will break our baby Cora even I cant deny this" he was crying with her now too.
" Mother, Father! What's happening?" Zelena came rushing in their room when she heard the sounds crying.
"…your sister…" Cora got out before she started crying again.
"Your sister…. Uh Robin and Marian left your sister in a hotel all alone" Henry explained.
"This is no time to cry mother, we need to look for Regina right now. If you guys can't then I will and I will look into every single hotel out there if I have to " with that said, Zelena left her parents on the floor to search for her sister.
(After an hour of searching… )
Ring..ring..ring….
"Hey little sis, where are you? ….Come on you need to tell where you are Regina? I have been looking for you for an hour now. Please spare me the chase….….well now see that was easy to do I'll be there soon sis" now she knew where Regina was that meant her search will be over.
While on the road Zelena couldn't help herself but to think about where things were going. 'Why did they left Regina at the hotel when they were suppose to go together and now both of their numbers aren't working, this looks like a scheme more and more' she thought.
'I may not show my love for Regina but nobody is allowed to hurt my little sis except me' she sneered at the thought of them.
The sun was rising by the time Zelena was closing in to her sister's hotel. She has been driving for quite a while now just half an hour more.
(Regina's Room)
'Zelena will be here soon. How will I explain what happened when I don't even have any idea?' Regina was panicking and pacing around her room after she was woken up by the call from her sister few hours ago. She wanted to disappear right now and never be found again because she didn't know how will she deal with her family. 'Will they blame me for what happened? Was it even my fault that Robin left?' she couldn't help but think of rubbish questions as such.
Knock knock knock
"Looks like she's here" Regina breathed in some air and let it out to prepare herself for whatever was going to transpire here. She stood in front of her door with her hand on the door knob….she turned it to open it and saw her sister standing in front of her when the door was completely open.
"You seem surprised little sis, I called before I was coming it shouldn't be surprising to see me here" Zelena was trying to act her usual self as always to fend off the tension in the air she was feeling from Regina.
"Y—ye-yes I know, I am just..i guess I was hoping for…." She couldn't finish her thought.
"Were you for instance waiting for Robin to show up? Hmm little sis! The man who left you after the wedding night, now why would someone wait for someone like that" Zelena couldn't help but speak her mind.
"You…you..you don't know that, something must have happened. He wouldn't leave me like this" Regina didn't know if she was trying to soothe her heart or Zelena.
SLAP!
Regina was now covering her left cheek with her hand where Zelena just slapped her. She looked at her sister with wide eyes. Zelena has never raised a hand on her, this came out to be very shocking that her sister just hit her.
"NOW! You will come with me back home and stop with your nonsense and I won't take a no for an answer Regina. I will be waiting for you in the car parked in front of the hotel so get your things packed up and come out when you are done" the slap came out of nowhere from Zelena's part, she didn't mean to hit her little sister like that but she couldn't take seeing her talking rubbish like that there was no other way for her to let Regina know reality was much worse for her, she just walked out of the room and left Regina to come out soon.
'I can not believe she hit me' Regina thought as looked at her sister's back out of her room.
