The girl was wrong, Zelena did get some pleasure from it. Or was she just fooling herself? The girl had expected and she looked like she was ready to met the end. This thinking made Zelena feel guilty. So, Zelena quickly shake these thoughts to the side. She had to start the next part of her plan. Zelena started her walk to Granny's.
Regina had been sitting at the counter at Granny's. When Tinkerbell sat beside her and started talking.
"You're staring." Tinkerbell said.
"How, come you always have an interest in my love life and I never hear anything about yours?" Regina asked.
Tinkerbell was literally lost for words. Luckily for Tinkerbell, Emma interrupted before Regina could question Tinkerbell any further.
Emma had two drinks. She handed one to Tinkerbell and put the other on the counter. As a way of offering it to Regina.
Emma had been staring at Regina as she was expecting some kind of introduction.
"Oh, Tinkerbell, Emma. Emma, Tinkerbell." Regina then said.
"It's nice to see you again, Tinkerbell." Emma said shaking Tinkerbell, after Tinkerbell put her drink down.
"It's nice to met you again, as well." Tinkerbell answered.
Emma offer the drink that she had put on the counter.
"Miss Swan, I don't daytime drink." Regina said.
"Oh, well it was nice seeing you, Gina. See you later, Tinkerbell." Emma said.
Emma walked away and went to grave about the death of Neal. Regina couldn't help but slightly blush. It felt like they flirted for the first time. Unlucky for Regina, Tinkerbell notice this slight blush.
"Oh, I see." Tinkerbell said.
"What, ever do you mean, Tinkerbell?" Regina asked.
"You, like her."
"She's Henry's mother, we need to get along."
"You know what I mean. If you were open to possibility of love. Then maybe your life would turn out so."
"How did my life turn out?"
"Why am I even bothering?"
Tinkerbell grabbed her drink and walked off
Regina kind of wished she hadn't snapped at Tinkerbell. Now she was all alone for the moment. Zelena then entered Granny's.
"My condolences. So sorry, I missed the funeral. I could never possibly find something to wear." Zelena said.
Pretty much everyone at Granny's was standing up and looking aggravated.
"Did I miss the speeches?" Zelena asked.
If you had been there you would have felt the anger from a mile away.
"Shall I make one?" Zelena continued.
Zelena kept walking.
"I am how ever responsible."
Emma was so angry. She started walking towards Zelena. Snow quickly grabbed Emma's arm.
"Not now, Emma. Too many people. Somebody could get hurt." Snow said quickly to Emma.
"You should listen to your mother. She is right." Zelena said to Emma.
"Anyone who tries to interfere with my plans, will have to deal with the Dark One." Zelena continued walking closer to the Charmings.
"Don't come any closer." David said with a bit fear in his eyes.
"Don't worry. I'm not here for your baby. Not today anyway." Zelena said.
"Then why are you here?" Regina asked.
"Now, that my cover is blown. I finally get to pay a visit to my little sister."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Why you of course, Regina."
"What?" Emma asked, confused like everyone else.
"I'm an only child." Regina said to Zelena, not believing Zelena.
"Cora lied to you, Regina. I'm your sister. Half if you want to get technical." Zelena replied.
"Why should I believe anything you say."
"Oh, you shouldn't. It's a lot to swallow. That's why I brought a gift to help."
Regina laughed.
"I don't want a gift from you."
"Oh, but you shall have it. See my gift to you is this sad, sad, sad day. Use it to, dig in to our past, Regina. You need to learn the truth, you must believe it and then meet me on Main St tonight. Say, sundown."
"And what?"
"Then I'll destroy you."
"This isn't the wild west."
"No dear, it's the wicked west and I want everyone to be there to see the Evil Queen lose."
"I don't lose."
Zelena laughed.
"Neither do I. One of us is about to make history. See ya tonight sis." Zelena said, starting to leave Granny's.
"And you're sure Cora never told you about her." David asked.
"I think I would remember if my mother told me I had a love child with a scarecrow." Regina answered.
"It doesn't matter if she's your sister or not. She wants you dead. Any idea why? " Emma questioned.
"I never even meet her before today." Regina replied.
"Doesn't mean you haven't done something to piss her off."
"Not to mention you did step on a lot of toes back then." Tinkerbell piped up.
"Well, none of them were green." Regina said.
"There's the missing year maybe you did something to her then." Granny said.
"Stick to the lasagna, lady. You're starting to sound awful like you're on her side." Regina said getting up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Emma asked, concerned.
"To find out exactly what this witch thinks I did to her." Regina answered.
Regina was seriously getting annoyed with Snow. Regina knew that Snow wanted to help and that Snow worried about her. Yet, when Snow asks Regina if she is sure Cora didn't booby trap her stuff, Regina was about to scream,
"No, it's not. Now stop asking and help me look or leave."
Regina stayed quiet and continued looking.
Finally, Regina found it, but of course Snow had to comment.
"You found something?" Snow asked.
Regina was about to go into a flying rage. She had enough of Snow's 'help'. Luckily for Snow the Savior came in.
Regina felt slightly calmer with Emma, well calm enough to not kill Snow.
"I got David locking down Main St just in case." Emma said more to Snow.
Emma looks and sees Regina.
"Regina." Emma said, she sounded concerned.
"Yeah." Regina replied.
"Did you find something?"
"Uh, a letter."
"What's say?"
"Zelena is my sister."
Emma and Snow both look at each other, worried.
"Regina, what is it?" Snow asked.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it. It's my fight, I can handle it." Regina answered.
Regina then quickly left. Both Snow and Emma looks worried.
"What the hell was in that letter?" Emma asked.
"It doesn't matter we need to get ready." Snow answered.
"Alright, can you head back to town and warn everyone?"
"Yeah, of course I can. How come you aren't coming?"
"I have some business to take care of."
"Okay, just be careful."
"I will." Emma said putting a reassuring hand on Snow's should, and with that ran quickly out.
Snow then left shortly after to tell the town the news.
Regina had been reading the letter when she felt somebody watching her. She looked around and saw no other than the Savior herself, Emma.
"There has to be way than meeting like this." Emma said.
"Did Snow send you to give me a pep talk? Cause I don't do well with pep talks." Regina said.
"Nothing of the sort, after you left I decided to take a walk to cool off. If you know what I mean." Emma said walking to sit beside Regina.
Emma sat down beside her.
"From the looks of things you are doing the same thing. Anyway, how are you holding up?" Emma said.
"Well, I'm not a flying monkey, if that's what you mean." Regina answered.
Emma grinned at that.
"So, are you going to tell me what's in the letter?" Emma asked.
"What letter?"
"Why this one of course."
Emma showed her the letter.
"I'm pretty sure there isn't another letter."
Regina grabbed her arm.
"I was a thief before I am came to Storybrooke." Emma continued.
"You're lucky I am saving my strength for that witch." Regina said.
"I think deep down you want to actually want to talk about it."
"What makes you think you know me so well?"
"For one thing I would be chaired to crisp by now."
"True."
"So, can I read it?"
"I'm not stopping you."
"Cora, dear. I finally got my hands on your first born. I never thought I would find her, did you? Now, I know why. She is the most powerful enchantress I have ever encountered. Even more powerful than you. Stunning in every way." Emma read.
"I always thought that letter was about me." Regina finally said.
"I understand, Regina. I know what it feels like when you think somebody is giving you a compliment when they are talking about somebody else."
"Emma, you know this means I can't beat Zelena. This is Rumpelstiltskin we are talking about. If we says that she is the most powerful Enchantress, then she is."
"I don't care if Rumpelstiltskin says."
"Emma."
"Regina, listen to me Rumpelstiltskin said that dead is dead. We all saw him die and now he is alive again. I say that imp is wrong. I know that things will work in the end."
"You're starting to sound like your mother, Emma."
"I know you'll find way Regina and I know I sound like my mother."
Regina grabbed Emma's hand.
"I think you may just given me an idea." Regina said.
"If I had known giving you hope speech would give you inspiration. I would have done it sooner."
This put a smile on Regina's face.
"Shut up."
Emma knew Regina was teasing her. Regina's smile quickly disappeared as she got serious again.
"If I am going to fight that Witch. I have something I need you to take care of." Regina finished.
"Where's, Regina?" Tinkerbell asked.
"I don't know and Emma isn't here either." Snow replied.
"We should get everyone out of here." David said.
At that moment Zelena and Rumpelstiltskin appeared.
"Nobody is going anywhere. This show needs an audience. Out of my way munchkin." Zelena said walking forward.
"I'm a dwarf." Said the Dwarf stuttering.
"That's even worse." Zelena said, still walking.
Rumpelstiltskin was walking behind her.
"Where is she?" Zelena asked.
Zelena looked around at everyone.
"Don't tell me she was too much of a coward to show up. This isn't good, not for any of you." Zelena said.
Zelena turned to face the crowd.
"If my sister is not here in five minutes. I'm going to let the dark one off his leash." Zelena said.
"Time's up. Who do you want to kill first Rumple?" Zelena asked.
"He's not killing anyone. If you want somebody to fight Zelena, fight me." Tinkerbell said to Zelena.
"I'm sorry dear. I don't dance with amateurs."
"I am not an amateur, I'm a fairy."
"You think can fight me, moth?"
Zelena commanded Rumpelstiltskin and Tinkerbell went flying backwards.
"Anyone else want to go?" Zelena said.
Tinkerbell was angry and was going to 'spread her wings' and go at Zelena again.
Just then Regina appeared.
"I do." Regina said walking towards Zelena.
"Didn't anyone tell you? Black is my colour." Regina continue, while walking towards Zelena.
"But it looks so much better on me." Zelena answered.
They were now facing each other.
"I was beginning to think you weren't going to show up." Zelena said.
"I couldn't let my sister off that easily." Regina said.
"Oh, so you finally accepted me in to the family."
"I've accepted that we share a mother, yes, but I still have on question. What the hell did I ever do to you?"
"Isn't it obvious, you were born."
Regina slapped Zelena, hard. Loud enough for anyone there to hear and got some blood trickling.
"I've been waiting to do that, all day." Regina said.
"Rumpelstiltskin can't save you this time." Zelena said.
"He should have chosen me." Zelena finally said.
"Who?" Regina asked.
"Rumpelstiltskin."
"That's what this is about? You're jealous of me."
Regina using her magic threw the streetlight at Zelena. Zelena knocked it to side using her magic.
Everyone screamed or gasped.
"You still don't know what you had. You never did. You got everything I ever wanted and you didn't even deserve it. But I'm going to take it all from you." Zelena said, almost yelling.
Zelena than using her magic threw Regina at a car.
You could hear the loud sound of Regina's body hitting the car. You would think she be or hurt or something. Instead Regina got right back up and the car had a big dent on the hood.
Regina summoned a fireball which Zelena made instantly go out.
"Can't beat me little sis. Everything Rumpelstiltskin taught you, he taught me, but I was the better student." Zelena said holding Regina in a choking grip with her magic.
Zelena then threw Regina in to the clock tower.
Zelena appeared in the clock tower. Regina was lying on the ground surrounded by glass. Regina was trying to get up.
"Well, wait are you waiting for? Kill me." Regina said.
"I never said I wanted to kill you. I said I wanted to destroy you, and to do that, I need your heart." Zelena said.
Zelena had crouched down and tried to rip Regina's heart out.
"Where is it? Where is your heart?" Zelena said basically yelling.
"Our mother taught me one thing. Never bring your heart to a witch fight. Something you would have known if she hasn't abandoned you." Regina answered.
Regina pushed Zelena who had been up close right to her face.
"You haven't won Regina. I will get your heart. I will get everything you've ever had." Zelena yelled.
Zelena summoned a broom.
"Not today.". Regina said.
Zelena hopped on to the broom and flew away on it.
"You alright?" Tinkerbell asked with concerned.
Regina was glad for her concern, she is her best friend after all, even though she can be a little annoying. You know trying to find her true love. Regina just wished she hadn't brought Snow and Charming with her.
"I'm still alive, aren't I?" Regina asked with sas.
Tinkerbell, Snow and Charming ran up the stairs to make sure she was alright.
"Gold disappeared, we thought that." David said.
"That she defeated me, hardly." Regina answered, while David helped her up.
"What?" Snow asked.
"Don't act so surprised. It turns out Zelena wanted my heart. It's a good thing I wasn't stupid enough to bring it with me." Regina said.
"Any idea why she wants it?" David asked.
"Well, she has your courage and wants my heart. Those are ingredients."
"For what? A curse?" Tinkerbell asked.
"We are already in Storybrooke. We've already lost are memories. What else could she do to us?" Snow questioned.
Regina was running through the woods, again.
"Did the plan work?" Emma asked.
"That depends is it still here?" Regina answered.
"Right where you left it."
"Then it worked."
Emma crouched down and retrieved Regina's heart.
"I just needed find the one thing that I have that Zelena doesn't." Regina said.
"And is what exactly was that?" Emma asked.
Emma gave Regina her heart.
"My heartless mother." Regina answered.
Regina put the heart back into the bag.
"My sister was right about something. She said I don't always realize I have something even if it's right in front of me." Regina said.
Emma got up and wiped her hands on her already dirty jeans.
"What's that?" Emma questioned.
"Just that I didn't always appreciate things." Regina replied.
Regina placed her heart that was still in the bag, into Emma's hands.
"Do you think you could hold on to this for a little longer?" Regina asked.
"Do you really trust me? I am the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, two of your least favourite people. Also on top of that, a thief." Emma said.
"Just because you are their daughter doesn't mean you are anything like them. Plus you can't steal something that has already been given to you."
"You still owe me that drink." Emma said.
Regina had been walking away and as soon as Emma said that it brought a smile to her face.
"Yes, I suppose I do." Regina said, leaving.
Zelena return back to the farm house and put Rumpelstiltskin in his cage. This time Zelena was going to tease Rumpelstiltskin of her plans.
AN: Sorry for the long wait. School and life has been keeping me busy. Plus I am lazy, but I hope this super long chapter makes up for that.
Next time: Captain Katana and Ariel's story will be wrapped up and Regina tries to teach Emma magic.
