I know has been a while since the last time i update and I'm sorry for that but i got to repair some bad exams in school. Anyway i will update more often since now so be ready!

Leave in the review your impressions or doubt!

Cora was walking around her office with her left hand on her lap. She was trying to not think about Beatrice or Regina. She couldn't. When she was exasperated, she let her-self falling on the chair with her head on her hands.

They are all her life. Without them she got nothing. Of curse she got a husband that love her more than everithing but then again she thought about the Dark One her first and olny lover. She got a lot of regrets but this one was the worst: she couldn't spend her life with her daughter and her love.

To Bratrice seing all the relationship she made falling a part was one of the million of reason that give her courage. She took a deep breath and entered in the room slamming the door. The wood door for a moment creaked. Cora opened her hands an looked up to the girl near the door. She wanted to apologise but no words came out of her mouth.

"I came here for apologise" said Beatrice "You are not the one who need to" answered Cora in a whisper

"Maybe but everyone can made a mistake... even the most wise man in the world can" Cora starled at the seven years old in front of her. "I still blame you for a lot of things but... someone made me saw your point of view... I think that maybe i have over reacted i've should know all the story... Sorry." she made a little blow and starled at the woman that was in front of her.

She was wearing a normal white dress with a red belt in her hip. Her hair were pulled up on a chignon but some rebel hair were falling om her shoulder. She is indeed beautiful and charming but something of her let think about her dark path. Maybe the eyes. That brown and deep eyes, they were hiding some secret and pain.

Beatrice had know the story from his father. Now she wanted Cora to tell her story. "Can you tell me again that story?" Cora gave her her most kind smile and noddle with her head. She motioned to the girl to sit nex to her in th floor. Bex as obbiedent as always did what she asked.

"Once upon a time there was a jung beautiful girl named Cora. She was poor. She was just the miller's daughter. She was abitious she wanted to change her fate.

One night the prince gave a ball hoping that between all those beautiful girls he would find his Queen. Cora decided to find a way inside. She made for her self a red and balck dress-"

"Like the one are you wearing?" Cora smiled "No it was much bigger and regal that one" "You must be beutifull!" "Can i finish the story now?" "Oh right, sorry"

"Once she was entered she pointed at the prince and started to talk with him. He was nice and quiet. His name was Henry"

("Regina's father!" "Yes, excactly him")

"The prince fell in love with her and asked her to dance. Unfortunatelly the king reconized the poor girl and tried to bandished her from the castle. Since she was desperated she invented a lie. She told in front of every one that she could transform the straw in pure gold.

The king gave her a sevond chance: if she could transform a tower of straw into gold she could married the prince. More than a chance was a threat, he didn't believe much in magic and he was a very bad person.

The king locked the poor girl in a big tower with no doors and full of straw. He wanted to humiliate me but like a dream...

...from nowhere came a man. He offered her a deal: he would have transformed the straw in gold and the girl would have to gave his first born. Cora wanted more. She asked for a new deal : the man would teach her and she would give him their first child. He was pleased by her courage and revaled her his name: Rumplestilskin.

That night he taught her not only how to trasform the straw but how use all the magic.

After that night she got what she wanted, the prince's hand, the magic and the love.

Unfortunally their love was forbiden since she needed to marry the prince. So the couple planned every night an appointment at the service gate

Night after night they fallen in love. Like fools, they were innocents and free.

But one day the king let Cora know that he had discovered her secret relationship with the man and warned her because love is weakness.

That night she decide to go anyway to the service gate. She wanted to said goodbye to her love for ever.

One month later Rumplestilskin returned to her to take whay was his.

The woman didn'know she was pregnant and she was afraid. Afraid that all she had worked for was going to vanish just for a little creature she got inside her.

Fortunately the Dark One had always the solution to all the problems, in fact he gave her a potion that encreased her pregrancy so that same night she gave birth to a beatifull girl. She named her Beatrice after her mother. "Because she was a woman who learded to be strong"

Silence fall in the room.

"I-i i'm sorry to.. I should have fight to stay with you,to see you." tears began to fall on her face "I chose the wrong life. I thought that all that matters was the power" with surprise she noticed that Beatrice started to laught. A joung and genuine laught. "Haha that's exactly what dad said! You are like him, at least more than you think."

Silence fall again upon the room.

"Now i should go to find Regina" with no other words she got up and she left the room. Leaving Cora to her thought.

Did the girl really meant that? Maybe it's time for me and Rumple to fix that wound that had separated us.

I should go to him and talk to him, hoping he will listen.

Beatrice without esitation went to Regina's room. She knew the castle well enought to not get lost. She wasn't sure about what she should do or not. Probably Regina was angry with her and didn't want to talk with her now but she had to try. When she arrived at the door she could listened to Regina crying.

She didn't thinking twice and sprinted in the room "Regina! I'm here for..." In that moment Regina run to her and hug her.

Beatrice was at first confused but then she hug her back too. "I'm not mad at you Bex, i should have told you! I'm angry with my- well - our mother." Beatrice just starled at her with disbelieve.

"If you didn't want to be my sister, can you at least be my friend?" "I was your friend- i am your friend...and i promise you i will always be. But if you want a big sister here i am!" A big smile appered on Regina's face.

"So... now are you going to live with us?"

Actually Beatrice hadn't thought about it. She didn't want to left her father but she knew that Cora wanted to know her better.

"Well... i don't know. I need to talk to my father first but i'm sure we will find a deal. And about that... It's time I go back." "Can you ask your father the permission to stay here a little more?" "He is not the kind of man that give permissions... Trust me, for today are enought emotion and thing to understand."

"Hello Rumple"

"Why are you here woman, didn't we sort out our problems some days ago?"

"Yes, but i wanted to make things clear..." seeing no response fromt he man she was now sure to have his attention "I want to kno wbetter Beatrice, and she want it to so i thought for a moment that she could stay with me." The man grimaced with disgust when he imagened his daughter with that traitor "It's not for ever.. just for some days, until the new moon..." Cora came closere to the men who was more interested in spinning the straw. This ripetitive action help him to cinxentrate and relax but Cora had never unrestood the real reson why he liked so much that work."Think about Beatrice, I am doing all this olny for her goodness" "I know when you are ling and this is one of thst moments. What do you really want from her? Knolwege? Power?"

"The opportunity to fix some issue... not only with her. It's like a deal"

"In a deal there are two parts that want something and they di everything for it. Are you ready to do everything for Bea?" "Of curse i am"

"Well... No." He started to looking for something "What are you still doing here?! Now leave. I have another costumer"

Cora lefted the room with dissapointment but no wanting to face anyone, especially his costumers she did what he asked. Maybe coming here was a mistake... like always she tought in her way to her carriage. When she finally positioned her self she noticed a little girl with a black hoodie coming from the forest. She was cleary late for some meeting since she was the impersonification of haste. She was running very fast and Cora could cleary see a spell behind her great speed.

The shock came when the little gril took of her hoodie and ravealed her self. "Beatrice- " the little girl watched the woman with the corner of her eyes just to dissapeare behind the grate.

So, i know this is not so much but i did my best. Hoping that you liked the chapter and the story (since here) i will wait for your review!
