That evening Emma was sitting on the bed thinking about everything that had happened that day.
"Henry looks different today, during the two years he did not mention the matter of fairy tales, why today it happened?"
Emma had to admit that the idea Henry suggested made sense to her, but on the other hand she was in the psychiatric ward for that. Emma didn't know what to do, so she decided to sleep on it that night.
Henry awoke in the morning to the smells of cooking, for a moment he thought it was all a dream and his mother was downstairs making him breakfast like every time.
Henry went downstairs and saw The Black Fairy standing at the counter with food in her hand.
The Black Fairy saw Henry approaching the kitchen and told him," I thought you might want to eat, I'm not as bad as you think I know you should eat and as your mother I worry about not starving."
Henry looked at her suspiciously, he did not trust her.
"Thanks for the food but I'm not hungry." He said to her and looked at her.
The Black Fairy saw the hesitation in his eyes and so she told him "if you think I want to hurt you, I would not bother to leave you here with me.
"Now if you don't want to eat it is your decision." With that she began to walk toward the door.
"I'm going to work, get organized and go to school, I do not want to see you walking around among people and asking them if they know anything about the curse."
Henry looked surprised, he did not know she knew about it.
"What did you think I would not know about it? People tell me everything and I have eyes everywhere." With that she left the house.
The black fairy did not walk in the direction of the town hall as she had told Henry instead, she walked toward the hospital.
SQ
Regina began to wake up, her head ached and her vision a little blurry.
She didn't know where she was, the last thing she remembered was the black cloud that separated her from Emma.
Regina began to rise to a sitting position, but the headache was too strong. Immediately she lay back on her back. Only then did she notice that she was in the isolation chamber of the hospital where she had held Cindy in the past and that her hands tied in chains.
She tried to pull the chains that held her hands but without success.
Regina sighed, she did not understand what she was doing here.
She tried to raise herself once again to a sitting position and this time successfully.
She looked at the room there was nothing except for the bed and a blanket beside her.
She wears a long white gown, her hair black and long, she ran her hands through her hair and checked the length of her hair.
She did not understand how her hair might be as long as it had been before the curse she had cast.
A moment later, the lock on the door made a sound, Regina looked toward the open door.
At the entrance was The Black Fairy.
The Black Fairy came into the room and when she saw Regina sitting on the bed awake she said to her, "Good morning Regina, I wondered when you would wake up", she held a tray with food and water.
I brought you food, I suppose you're hungry after your sleep.
Regina looked at the fairy angrily, she was the reason she was in this cell.
Regina tried to speak but her throat was dry and she had to drink water.
She tried to clear her throat before she tried to speak again.
Why am I here? Is it not enough that you separated me from Emma ,so now you hold me prisoner?
Regina looked at the fairy for an answer. The black fairy walked up to her and ran her hand over Regina's face. At that moment Regina moved her face from the fairy's hands.
"You see, for my plan to work I need you my sweet little angel."
Regina continued to look at The Black Fairy, she was irritable, she did not like not knowing what was happening around her and so she asked the Fairy "why?, What do you need me for? How can I help you? ,not that I want anyway."
The Fairy began laughing at Regina's answer "Oh Regina, my little poppet you really think you have a choice, well I don't think so, you see you'll help me if you want to or not."
She went to the tray and handed Regina the bowl with the food and a bottle of water.
Regina didn't want to take anything from The Black Fairy but tiredness and thirst overcame her will.
She took the plate and looked inside, the plate had a simple oatmeal, she though to herself "at least it smelled good". She began to eat quietly and kept looking at the fairy to see what she was doing.
The black fairy looked at Regina eating and smiled at her and said, "You're such a good girl."
At that moment Regina stopped eating, for a second she had a flashback to the days her mother would tell her she was a good girl after all the times that Regina agreed to her mother's crazy ideas.
Regina wanted to cry, but she would not show weakness in front The Black Fairy, after a few minutes she continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
The Black Fairy got up from her chair and went to sit next to Regina in bed, for a moment Regina could not understand why she was approaching her but the reason was immediately apparent. The Black Fairy began to comb Regina's hair gently, Regina began to stiffen from the Fairy's touch in her hair and tried to move from her.
The Black Fairy told her "you know, you're much prettier with long hair like a naive young girl who hasn't had much experience in her life. I kept following you. How you grew up, how you became the woman you are today, strong, smart, intelligent and very beautiful. Rumple did not believe you could be the evil queen and cast my curse, but I saw something else about you, I saw a warrior."
Regina did not like the way the Fairy spoke to her, so she got up of the bed and went to stand against the wall, far from The Black Fairy.
"Do not be afraid of me, I still need you. I will not hurt you."
Regina looked at her in shock and told her, "Why should I be afraid of you, I'm not afraid of anything especially not you. I just don't want you to touch me."
And you have not told me yet why you need me ? or Why am I shackled in chains? It's not like I have somewhere to go." Regina didn't like to be chained like a animal it gave her bad memories.
The Fairy looked at Regina and saw her anxiety in her eyes so she said to her, "When time comes I'll tell you why I need you, for now you'll stay here so you will not make trouble and try to destroy what I started or try to escape in that matter."
Regina wanted to know only one thing and asked the Fairy, "where is Emma or Henry? Are they here?
The Black Fairy did not answer Regina and began to walk toward the door. Regina tried to stop her from leaving and getting her answers, but the chains did not allow her to reach the door and she stayed behind.
Regina tried to fight the chains but for nothing, The Black Fairy turned to her and told her, "don't bother trying to get out of the chains, I made sure they are well attached."
"Then answer me question?…. where are they?"
"I'm afraid our time is over, I have to go I have an arrangements to make….. oh and Regina if I were you I would go back to bed, you don't want to fall asleep on the floor."
Regina looked at her strangely, not understanding what she meant, then she felt the dizziness. She realized that the fairy put something in her food that made her feel dizzy and tired.
"No wait… what have you done to me?"
With this The Fairy finished talking to Regina and walked toward the door, she went out and locked the chamber door behind her.
Regina was left alone in the chamber felling dizzy and helpless, she only hoped that Emma and Henry were all right no matter where they are.
Regina walked over to the bed and carefully lay down on it, the last thing she thought of before she fell asleep was "whatever happens, I'll get out of here and find Emma and Henry and bring them back to me even if it's the last thing I do." with this though in mind she fell asleep.
