Chapter 7

After finally being aware by Emma that she did in fact create a fireball in the palm of her hand, Regina kept it to herself as to why she was able to create one in the first place with what she was feeling and who she was thinking of. Strolling up and down the short path of dirt within the camp, the blonde turns to face the young Queen who is still sat upon the log. "So this fairy that can help.."

"Blue" Regina clarifies with a smile. "She is the superior to all fairies..a bit like a Queen..to her people."

"Yeah..I got that.." Emma gives an awkward smile as she already knows full well who Blue is, not to mention the run in she had with the fairy from her time over bringing Regina back. A lot of shouting was involved on the blonde's part while Blue stood firm in her answer that there was nothing she could do to help. "Where can we find her?"

"That all depends on if she will listen...for those that are good and in need of help, she listens and comes to them or..you find where the other fairies are and that will lead you to her.."

The blonde sniggers. "And what category do we fall under?"

Giving a half smile, the young Queen goes to answer but gets interrupted by Blue herself. The fairy looks between the pair with a smirk. "That is debatable...however I felt an unusual presence of magic and now I understand why" looking more in the direction of Emma, she raises an eyebrow.

Emma gulps finding Blue in this form a lot more intimidating than her nun form. "Hi..I'm-"

"I know exactly who you are..let's not mess up the future now"

Regina's eyes widen as she turns to face the blonde curiously. "The future? I just thought you came from another land.."

Rubbing her neck awkwardly, Emma glares towards Blue for landing her in it. "Erm..yeah..the future...I had some trouble back home and someone wanted me gone..I fell through a portal to here..."

Completely oblivious to the secret that is going on, the young Queen frowns in wonder. "What is it like? The future I mean?"

"Its-"

"Not of your concern your majesty!" Blue quickly cuts off the blonde's answer, concerned for the future.

Regina glares a little shocked at the fact that a fairy has dared shout at her being a Queen. "It was a simply a question, besides if she is from another land in the future how can that be ruined? We would never meet again"

Biting her, Emma looks away at this point in case Regina can see through her. Watching the blonde and causing the young Queen to also look in the woman's direction, Blue clears her throat. "We must find a way to return you to your rightful place..and as for you, your majesty.." The fairy looks towards the confused brunette. "You need to return to the castle before any more damage is done. I will make them forget your trip away.."

Scoffing, the brunette crosses her arms in disbelief. "Who do you think you are ordering your Queen around?"

Hiding a small smile at the normality she recognises in this Regina, the blonde raises an eyebrow with a smirk towards Blue. "Yeah...Blue"

Looking between the pair, Blue sighs. "Fine..you may come with until Emma is returned home"

Deciding to push it further with an increase of confidence, Regina questions. "What if I do not wish to return to the castle? To Leopold? I never asked to be Queen"

"You have too, otherwise the future will not carry out as it is written"

"Its two different lands..if Emma's future is jeopardized, how does that affect mine in the forest? Unless I end up in another land similar to Emma's" watching the fairy's movements, the Queen stares her down. "There is something you are not telling me.." Turning towards Emma and shocking the blonde, the brunette then looks sad. "And I have a feeling you are in on it"

Emma looks guilty and steps forward. "Regina...I.."

"Emma!"

Hearing Blue's warning tone, the blonde shakes her head keeping her eyes trained on Regina. "No. You said you can make the people in the castle forget..when the time comes you can do the same for her. I need to tell her"

The fairy throws her hands up in surrender and watches with worry that everything is about to be destroyed. Regina looks back towards Emma in hope and slowly reaches out for the blonde's hand to entice her to speak. "Emma please...I know we have not known each other long but you have helped me like I have helped you. I feel as though I can trust you. Please"

Nodding, the blonde takes a breath and accepts the young Queen's hand in comfort. "You do end up in another land, the same as mine and we..know each other"

Smiling unaware of the seriousness of the situation, the brunette squeezes her hand. "I am glad"

Emma's eyes drop as she looks sad then glances towards her feet not having the courage to watch Regina when she tells her the rest. "We..well we..were together..but something happened and..you..your no longer with me..or in that land"

Frowning in concern, Regina tilts her head down to meet her gaze. "I left? Where did I go? Back here?"

Feeling herself start to tremble, the blonde finally looks over at her, allowing the young Queen to figure out for herself. Gasping in shock, Regina pulls her hand back and looks to Blue for confirmation. Gaining a nod, she starts to tear up. "No..."

A/N: Blue is annoying...sorry for the wait. Been mega busy!
