Chapter 6:
The next morning Regina went down to breakfast in the main hall. She heard Tink's voice in her head and decides to not sit by herself. She saw that there was an empty seat next to Robin and decided that this was here opportunity to make amends. So she sat down, and much to her surprise, Robin allowed her to sit there. They ate in silence for a while until she spoke up. "I would like to apologize for my behavior yesterday. I didn't mean to be so rude towards you, you definitely didn't deserve it." She said. They sat in silence for a little while longer until he finally spoke up.
"Thank you Regina. I'm sorry if I upset you, that wasn't my intention"
"you didn't upset me, I was just upset." She said. "Why don't we start over? Hi I'm Regina!"
"I think that is a great idea. I'm Robin. It is nice to finally meet you."
Just as they start to become friends, he world is shifted right off its axis. She looked over at Robin's hand while she was eating and saw a lion tattoo on the inside of his right wrist. She went silent and dropped her silver wear.
"Regina. Regina! Are you okay? Talk to me!" she hears.
She can't cope so she runs out to her courtyard in hopes to regain her breath and find her footing again. While she is out there trying to process what is going on she hears her friend Tinkerbell come from behind her.
"What's wrong Regina? I saw you freeze and run from the table."
"No I am not okay! That man…that thief. It…it can't be him, it…can't be" she can barely form a coherent sentence.
"Regina, you're not making sense. What's wrong"
"remember that night you took me to the tavern and told me that inside was my soul mate?You told me that it was the man with the lion tattoo, but because I never went in, I never saw his face. Well, now I know who it is."
"Who is it!" She asks excitedly.
"Robin Hood…" she said shyly.
"Oh My Gosh, Regina! What are you going to do?"
"What do you mean, what am I going to do, I am going to ignore him, forget this ever happened."
"You can't do that! He is your soul mate, you were meant to be together. This could be the perfect time to find love again, help you get over your heart break from losing Henry."
"You want me to replace Henry, with the THIEF! No Way! I could never do that"
"You can't run away from him again Regina. This is your second chance at happiness, do you really want to throw that away again? You're in a better place now, you're more open. This maybe the perfect time for new love, if you just give it a try."
"This is not a good time to be to be thinking about this, I can't handle this right now." With that said Regina walked away, and never spoke of this to anyone again.
Later the usual 'leaders' of the group meet up to discuss their plans for what they will do next. They decided to go over to Rumple's castle and try to talk to him. When they got there they had seen him in a cage, and he was speaking nonsense. Regina was still reeling from finding about about Robin ans was particularly feed up with the ramblings of Rumpelstiltskin. She was glad when Belle finally got through to him.
"Rumple, talk to me. How can we beat Zelina." Bell asked.
"Glinda, the good witch of the South." He said. "You can find her at the edge of the forest. Through the door, step inside. If pure of heart she won't hide"
He told them where to find her and then they all left the castle and headed back to their own castle. When they got back to their castle they decided that their next move was to find the Witch. So the Charmings and Regina decide that tomorrow they will go and find this Glinda.
