Yes, I'm back guys! Did you miss me?

Sorry for the delay but it was a very tough time and I began many other projects that you will see soon, new stories and new fandoms!

Enough of this and let's get back to the story

Two days

It has been two days since Cora made her leave the castle. Since she saw for the last time Regina.

"I can't go on without something, anything to prove me that Regina is OK!" she complained at dinner that night "I've tried to warn you about this dearie" Beatrice would never admit it but her father was right, he told her to not trust her biological mother. "Yeah I know... but this doesn't make me feel any better, than you" after a brief pause she continued "Enough I'm done waiting for her I'm going to see Regina tonight!"

In no time she was in her room changing her clothes. She put on her training suit and went straight to the wooden doors when... "Where do you think you are going young lady?" his father voice coming from the dining room made her shiver even if for only a second "I'm going straight to the castle, the guards know who I am and they will let me in" she was as much stubborn as her father sometimes "What if... they don't let you in? What could you possibly do?" now the Dark One was concerned about her safety even he will not admit it he actually cared a lot about his daughter. "I have my ways..." Beatrice smirked

"I'm sure you have" whispered the man "But this time I think you need help, after all this is your first real assault to a castle..." he added loudly. "You want to help? I have already made one deal with you I will not make another one"

"As strange it may seem I don't want anything back from you" Not yet anyway he stopped thinking the best way to describe this favor "Think about it as father and daughter bonding time?" Beatrice wasn't really convinced but he got a point this was her first real assault. "Fine but I lead!"

"Mommy why can't I see Beatrice?" a very bored Regina asked Cora "You still have to heal completely from.. well you know... the magic stuff..."

Regina didn't actually remember how she recovered and neither how she found herself sleeping on the couch with her doll in her hands.

"So when I'm completely healed Bex can come and we can have a sleepover?" she was now excited at the idea on the other side her mother wasn't thrilled about that plan, children can be very messy and difficult to handle especially if they have magic power as Beatrice. "We will see when the time comes now leave me I have work to do"

On the other side of the caste a young girl was talking with two guards at the wooden door "I'm Beatrice can I come in?" she said with a bright smile "And what is your connection with her?" one of them asked giving her a skeptical glare "I'm her daughter... well more like a stepdaughter" the pair didn't look convinced by her explanation "Mmm yeah sure... and we should believe to this nonsense?!" the two guards laughed at her "Now getaway that we got a job to do!" finished one of them before pushing her aside.

Beatrice looked at the march that they have started as nothing had happened before. She was astonished but this didn't stop her plan. If you put it that way

With an elegant movement of her hand, she sent the two guards one against the other. "Sorry" she said with a satisfied smirk. Then she walked through the wooden door. She walked near the perimeter. She had just passed by the first column when...

"Dad!?" she almost screamed it "Where on earth were you? I thought we agreed that I am the leader here!"

"Shut up or they will ear you."

For God's sake why he has to be so rude

"Fine. Follow me"

They reached the second column where there was a little door. Beatrice touched the handle and murmured the open spell. She opened the door and let her father in before closing it again.

"So what's the big plan, dearie?" the Dark One asked "Um mm... Yeah right! now that we are in we can disguise ourselves as part of the servants. Then we will take some food to the chambers and then I will find Regina. Clear?!"

"Transparent," said the man and half laughed "Just one question... How are you gonna deal with him?" and then he disappeared

"What-"

"Beatrice!" said a very familiar voice from behind her
