Chapter 2: Revelation

Summary: Following her dream, Rachel goes for a walk in the forest but all is not as it seems. In Storybrooke, Regina confesses a secret to her evil half-sister Zelena...

Rachel woke from her dream with a start. She got up and started to walk into the forest to make a point. On the way, she had a strange meeting… When she saw her twin, the beautiful brunette jumped.

Twin of Rachel: "Don't be afraid…"

Rachel: "Who are you?"

Twin: "I am your double… can't you see?"

Rachel: " What do you want?"

Twin: "I am here to warn you"

Rachel: "Oh really? And can I know about what?"

Twin: "A new adventure is beginning and you will be the heroine… but for this, you will have to make a sacrifice…"

Rachel: "Yeah… sure…"

Twin: "Don't be skeptical… I will not lie to you: Eretria is not our mother…"

Rachel: "What?"

Twin: "Regina Mills is our mother…"

Rachel: "I don't believe you!"

Twin: "And you have the right to not believe me…But I will prove it to you."

The double of Rachel approached the young woman and put one hand on each cheek of the brunette, who closed her eyes. A white flash appeared immediately when Rachel reopened her eyes:

She found herself in a hospital room where a dark haired woman was giving birth. Beside her was a woman wearing the religious wear of a Mother Superior. Once the baby was born, the woman began to cry and the Mother asked her if she truly wanted to give up this child. The woman responded yes. The Mother asked her if she wished to give the baby a name, to which the brunette responded with the name "Rachel." Suddenly, Rachel opened her eyes. Her twin was no longer there. Robin arrived at that moment.

Robin: "Rachel? What are you doing here?"

Rachel: "Nothing…"

Robin: "Rachel, you cannot walk in this forest in the middle of the night…"

Rachel: "I know that. Look…"

The young woman began to walk, followed closely by Robin. Meanwhile, in Storybrooke, Regina was in her office. She was not well and felt the need to be alone. But once again, the queen could not have what she wanted because her sister arrived…

Zelena: "Ah? Just the person I wanted to see."

Regina: "And just he person I did not want to see…"

Zelena: "I see…Why are you so angry?"

Regina: "I am not angry and I want you to leave my office…"

Zelena: "That's out of the question! I need you."

Regina: "I don't care about what you want…I need to concentrate."

Zelena: "Oh yeah? And on what? Your new evil plan?"

Regina: "I am not the Evil Queen anymore, and you know it."

Zelena: "What's wrong?"

Regina: "Nothing…"

Zelena: "I will not leave until you tell me…"

Regina: "What can you do for me?"

Zelena: "Nothing. Absolutely nothing…but there is not more fighting here and I must confess that I am bored to death so…"

Regina: "I gave up my daughter."

Zelena: "What?! You did what? Why?"

Regina: "My daughter…I gave her up…"

Zelena: "But how? Why?"

Regina: "Robin got me pregnant…When I realized it, I used magic to speed up my pregnancy and I went to give birth in a hospital run by nuns. I gave my daughter to the Mother Superior, who took her to another world…"

Throughout her story, Regina had tears in her eyes. She knew she had made the wrong choice. As for Zelena, she was shocked.

Zelena: "If I understand correctly, you are no better than our mother…"

Regina: "You can't say that."

Zelena: "Of course I can! You gave up your daughter, like Cora gave me up…"

Regina: "Please, do not say that…"

Zelena: "I say what I think…"

Regina: "Get out, Zelena!"

Zelena: "Very well…Anyway, I do not want to be in the same room as you."

Following her statement, Zelena disappeared in a puff of green smoke and Regina burst into tears at her desk…

The Wicked Witch of the West appeared in Mr. Gold's shop. The Dark One lifted his head and looked right into her eyes.

Gold: "What do you want from me, dearie?"

Zelena: "I want you to help me find my niece…"

Gold: "Your niece?"

Zelena: "Regina had a child and gave her up. She made her disappear to another world and you alone can find her. So, I need your help…"

Gold: "And I get what in exchange?"

Zelena: "Nothing…"

Gold: "The Dark One does not have a habit of making a deal without something in return…"

Zelena: "I will help you when the day comes that you need me."

Gold rolled his eyes but accepted the deal. He cast a spell but nothing happened. Gold could not locate Regina's daughter. He could try and try again but nothing happened: he could not do it.

In terms of Rachel and Robin, nothing had changed. Both walked without direction. After a few minutes, Rachel saw the 9 meter wolf that she had seen the day before. It was in bad shape…She wanted to care for it but Robin did not think it was the best idea.

Rachel: "He looks bad…"

Robin: "This wolf is not ordinary, it is a monster!"

Rachel: "And if we do not help it, we are also monsters! Maybe there is another solution to return to the normal world…but at the moment, we have to save it. We will figure out the rest later."

Robin: "Alright…"
