Sorry about the delay, things are busy in Shipper's you all for the kind reviews! I love hearing what you guys have to say. Another relatively short chapter but they do start to get longer here soon.

"I'll see you tomorrow Baelfire. Promise to read the packet I gave you."

"Of course Miss Blue."

Once the 'holier-than-thou' school teacher shut the door behind her thirteen year old Baelfire crumpled up the packet, with the same propaganda she always tried to shove down his throat, and chucked it at the door. Apparently she had made it her own personal mission to try and indoctrinate him into her views. Her favorite tactic seemed to be insinuating that he'd be better off with just forgetting his father and letting them be his family. Well that just wasn't going to happen. He loved his papa and this darkness that separated them wouldn't last forever. The would be together again soon. They just had to be.

"You know, she's just going to give you another one tomorrow."

Bae glared over at his jailer, the woman that could have been his sister based on the moon-eyes Papa had been making at Cora. Regina. In the past he had never truly cared for her, mostly because she basically ignored him, but now she was one of the three people in the world he could say he honestly hated. "Well I'm not going to read it! I don't want to think like you guys. I will not forget my papa!"

"I didn't say read it, just stop throwing it away. Every time you do that she makes a new one. You're wasting paper. Think of the trees."

"Think of the trees? This was the same woman who had held a gun to his head without blinking an eye and she wanted him to think of the trees? She was insane. "You're insane!"

Regina glared at him, her fingers twitching into a fist. "Watch it boy. If you ever want to see your 'papa' again you better be much nicer to me."

"Am I?"

"Are you what? Annoying? Yes. A pain in my ass? Yes. Getting on my last nerve? Yes."

"Am I ever going to see my papa again?"

That was his worst fear, not being trapped here forever, not coming face to face with Cora, not even the thought of his own death. No, his worst fear was that he'd never get to see his father again. At this point he didn't even know if he was alive. They could have killed him and were now keeping himself around for kicks and giggles. He needed to know that his papa was alive. He could endure anything if he only knew that he'd get to see Papa again. "Regina, am I ever going to see my papa again?"

"Regina eyed him warily and he held his breath. This news could keep him going or break him. Finally Regina shook her head with a sigh. "I don't know Bae. I really don't know."

So what do you think of Bae and Regina? Leave a review and let me know!
