A/N: So here you have part 2. Will Regina find Robin? Hope you enjoy!
It's Henry who first realizes that she is missing. It's almost 7 pm and a Friday-Friday is Lasagne day. Some would think that Regina takes it a bit easy after everything that has happened but Henry knows that this-cooking-backing- this is how she calms herself gets herself under control again. And she has been…off today and Henry is worried.
He knows she is grieving knows that she thinks she is doomed to suffer knows this but today has been worse than the others. His mum's mask has been strong all day a perfect smile in place a smile which doesn't reach her days. She puts her walls back up, doesn't even let him get close. She has stopped that- keeping him at arm's length has stopped that after everything they have been through.
But not today. So yes Henry is worried.
He calls everybody calls grandma, calls Emma, calls Zelena but nobody knows anything which is why Henry has decided to go looking for his mother himself- and his first destination is her vault.
Henry more or less runs towards the place his mum keeps her magic and almost trips over his own feet when he walks down the stairs and then almost falls again at the sight in front of him.
His mother is lying on the floor-unconscious, not moving her long dark hair splayed around her. Henry is at her side within seconds shaking her desperately calling out for her but nothing no reaction at all and now Henry isn't worried anymore.
He is terrified.
Terrified till he sees a letter in her hand a letter addressed to him his name written in his mother's beautiful cursive handwriting. He rips the letter open without a second of hesitation and when he is done reading a single tear is falling down his cheek. A tear that says he can't lose his mum but also that he is proud. Proud because his mother found hope and acted on it.
Dear Henry,
I'm sorry my little prince. Please don't be angry but I had to choose this path. And don't worry I'm fine there is no reason to be scared. You told me to have hope to never give up and I'm trying to follow your lead. Rumplestiklkin gave me a way to get Robin back-a chance at least. I do not know if it will work but I had to try. As you might already figured out my smart boy I put myself under a Sleeping Curse. Robin's soul is still out there trapped in the Netherworld and I'll try to find him try to do what your grandparents were doing for years…
I know you will want to wake me but I'm asking you to give me three days three days to find my Robin. If I haven't returned till that on my own…well you know how to break the curse sweetheart.
Be a good boy for Emma till I'm back and don't worry too much.
I love you my little prince
Mum
Regina is cold. This is the first sensation she feels –cold. She is shivering and slowly opens her eyes trying to get everything into focus. She's dizzy and so cold and it's only a minute later that she realizes that she is lying on the floor on cold stone. Careful step by step she gets up and takes in her surroundings.
There are mirrors, mirrors and darkness and it makes her shivers again for completely different reasons. Regina slowly closes the distance between here and one of the mirrors and looks in it. And jumps back with a shocked gasp.
She expected to see her own reflection not…Daniels. He is Daniel but he isn't not… her Daniel. He looks pale and there are dark circles under his eyes … eyes who used to look at her with love and care are now full of hatred and disgust and it's crushing Regina. His lips don't move he is only starring at her but she still can hear him can hear his whispers.
"I'm dead because of you. Because I loved you. Because you didn't protect me.
"I'm sorry I'm so sorry Daniel I didn't know what she was going to do I'm so sorry, "Regina sobs almost pleads with her first true love but Daniel keeps taunting her keeps going till she can't stand it anymore and runs.
Runs only to be stopped my her mother hears her whisper poisonous words that hurt like fists break and rip her apart and Regina keeps running and running.
Away from Daniel and her mother away from Snow's desperate begging, from the angry and fearful screams of her people trying to remember what she knows what she read. Nothing in here is real nothing besides the place itself.
Her mother, her stable boy they all moved on to a better place their last words full of love. But the whispers get louder and louder and Regina is drowning and she is so scared and this is a stupid idea. She will never find Robin –villains never get happy endings- she is a villain.
A villain and Robin paid the price for it.
Robin
Regina trips and falls crashing onto the floor a sharp pain rushing throw her even if it's nothing against the pain in her heart her soul which are both screaming and she begs to make it stop to make them stop and she can't breath and there is so much Darkness all around her and she feels like the walls are closing in on her and she can't breathe.
Tears are streaming down her face when she begs for forgiveness begs for the first time in years begs to make it stop because this is agony she has never felt before. Images keep flashing in front of her eyes images of death and destruction of loss and Evil Queen's and she can't breathe.
And then she suddenly hears Henry's voice in her head.
Think happy thoughts
Happy thoughts…she can't she just wants to feel safe again safe, safe…Robin
She closes her eyes and thinks of her thief thinks of his blue eyes looking at her lovingly thinks of his kind smile and his caring touches. Thinks of soft kisses and pleasurable strokes in her vault thinks of the way he believes in her fights for her loves her.
We are here now and this is true
She is shaking her entire body is shaking, shaking till she feels something on her shoulder a hand a warm hand squeezing her shoulder.
Regina can suddenly breathe again and the voices the pain isn't gone but it has lessened. She turns around turns to the hand and then she gasps again in shock
Because dark scared orbs meet blue loving ones.
"R-Robin?"
"Milady?"
