Hungry lips attached to a pale neck and heated moans filled the air, hands grasped at clothes trying desperately too pull them off. A loud rip was heard as Regina tore the front of Red's dress and was shortly followed by a sharp cry that snapped the women out of their lust filled stupor and they stood staring at each other with red faces, swollen lips and flushed chests until the cry sounded again and Regina rushed off to find the little boy that the noise was coming from

"Red, I'm so sor-" Regina started to apologize when she settled the boy

"Don't. Don't say you're sorry because if you're sorry it didn't mean anything and it needs to mean something" Red interrupted, looking at Regina with nervous eyes, "Please tell me it meant something"

"I'm not sure if it would be wise" Regina admitted, eyes on the ground

"Why would it not be wise?"

"Because I'm so dark and you're so light and I'm scared you would lose yourself if you were to be with me. I couldn't let that happen and I won't" Regina said

"There would be no darkness without light and there would be no light without darkness" Red spoke softly, brushing her hand against Regina's cheek, "I'm not sure if I would still be me if it meant living without you"

"It didn't mean anything," Regina whispered, leaning away from Red's touch, "It meant nothing. Why would I, the Queen of the Dark Kingdom, the most powerful magic castor this realm would ever see, be with a pathetic wolf that can't even out run half drunk men? You were a means to an end. What better way to break Snow Whites heart than to seduce her best friend?" Regina sneered, "You're not worthy to touch me like you wish."

"You-You don't mean that" Red stuttered, tears falling down her cheeks "You don't"

"Don't I?" Regina smirked, "You've heard story's about me, Red, why would I be any different for a half breed of low pedigree? No, I only saved you so you would betray Snow and give me all her secrets."

"Stop it" Red whispered

"Now leave my Kingdom with your tail between your legs before I find more interesting things to do with you that would fill the air with rather painful screams and pleads for mercy"


"You shouldn't have done that, dearie," A high-pitched voice said making Regina jump and throw a fireball at the wall where the voice had came from

"Rumple" Regina sighed, seeing the imp, "Not today. Please, just not now"

"You really shouldn't have done that," The imp said, ignoring Regina

"And why not?"

"Follow the light, for you can get lost in darkness" The imp smiled before disappearing in a plume of red smoke, "Though I'm sure you'll find her in a day or two when we get lost in the Darkness. Though, it won't really be her and you won't really be you"
"What are you going on about now, Imp?" Regina sighed, ignoring most of his talk for that of a mad man
"You shall see"


Regina woke with a groan and stretch to a deadly silent house and the feeling of forgetfulness she had everyday and set about starting to get ready before she walked to the diner before work

"Good morning Miss. Lucas" Regina spoke evenly to beautiful waitress
"Morning, Mayor Mills, your usual?" Ruby asked, looking at the mayor with a salacious smile

"Please. I think I'll take it in my usual booth this morning" Regina replied, trying her hardest not to gaze at the young women's backside as she walked away, "Miss. Lucas?" Regina called before she could stop herself

"Yes, Mayor Mills?" Ruby asked

"Why don't… Why don't you join me? My treat, of course?" Regina offered

"I don't know if my granny…" Ruby started before shrugging, "You're the Mayor, she can tell you off for it"

Ruby came to Regina's table ten minutes later carrying a tray with two plates and two drinks

"What?" Ruby asked when she seen Regina eyeing her meal, "We can't all live off of rabbit food like you, Mayor Mills"
"I didn't say anything" Regina said with a small smile

"No, but you were thinking it" Ruby said

"I just don't know how you can eat that and stay as fit as you do" Regina said and her eyes widened when she realised what she said

"I have a high metabolism, granny says I eat like a wolf. Oh and thank you for noticing" Ruby said with a wink

"You are rather wolfish" Regina said, letting her eyes trail down the waitress face and neck before flicking back up to her face, "I have to take my leave now, the job of a mayor is never over" with a split second decision Regina leaned across the table and gently pressed her lips against Ruby's cheeks


Ruby was laying in the middle of an enormous bed in the middle of a room that was bigger than the entire Granny's B&B with a sleeping baby on her chest while she watched as Regina paced around the room

"Don't worry about Snow, Regina, her army isn't big enough to even make a dent in your defences. She wouldn't be stupid enough to try" Ruby reassured her, "Now, I think your son wants his mummy's cuddles"

"What if they try to take him, Red?" Regina whispered as Ruby gave the small bundle to her

"They won't. They couldn't take him, not even if they managed to flatten the realm for him" Ruby said, running her hands through Regina's long hair, "We'll protect him"

Ruby kept running her hands through the long, black hair until eyelids finally fluttered closed and Regina's breathing finally evened out

"I'll protect you and him both with my life" Ruby whispered, pressing her lips to an olive forehead

"That was weird" Ruby muttered to herself, coming out of the day dream

"Ruby" Granny's voice yelled from the kitchen, "Get your lazy backside up and serve, girl"

AN: It's short because I wanted to know if you guys wanted them to be in Storybrooke or keep it in FTL? I have a plot line set for both and I can't decide which I like better so it's all up to you.
