Chapter 3
Regina immediately approached the guard. "What about Snow White?" she asked.
"We have found a location. She's been in a village," the guard answered. "What should we do your majesty?"
Regina tilted her head. "Prepare my carriage. We will leave at once." Regina glanced over at Britt who was just staring at her food. "Sorry dear but I'm afraid I will have to cut our dinner short. Enjoy the food Britt."
"Wait, I can go with you," Britt said getting out of her seat. "I can be of help. At least I think I can be of help."
Regina chuckled. "This isn't your fight. However, since you are so worried, I will see you right before I leave." She left without giving Britt another opportunity to protest.
Britt waited for Regina to return. She had a bad feeling about this. Her suspicions were confirmed when she got a look at Regina's outfit. "I know this outfit. That's-that's from The Evil Queen episode. She's going to end up regretting this."
"You know, I don't think this is a good idea," Britt said. "There's a chance she might not be there and you would waster a trip."
"Why do you care?" Regina asked narrowing her eyes. "Are you on Snow White's side? Was this all a trick? You pretend to relate to me to get some inside information," she questioned making wide strides until she got in Britt's face.
Britt didn't flinch. "I know that sabotaging someone's life is not going to work. People will only end up hating you more. They will always this image of you and no matter what you do, it won't change. Those people out there are never know the real you. You're not the only one who has been betrayed…your majesty."
"Who are you to talk this way to me?" she sneered. "Your friend who needs a big dose of reality," Britt shot back.
"Claude!" Regina yelled and waited for the guard to come in. "I'm staying," she announced. "Snow White can rot out there tonight."
He tried to protest but Regina cut him off. "Do I really need to repeat myself Claude?"
"No your majesty," he answered and left. Regina huffed and whipped her body around. "Happy now?"
"Yes but quit sulking. We still have a dinner to eat," she said. Britt sat down in her chair and waited for Regina to sit. She did and Britt let out a sigh of relief. "That was ballsy of me. Thankfully she really didn't try to kill me."
Regina eyed Britt. She had to find more about this girl. She already didn't like that she just let a complete stranger stop her from going after Snow. Regina went back to her dinner without saying another word.
That night, Regina looked into her mirror and waved her hand across it. "Your majesty," the mirror.
"Find me this Port Charles kingdom," she ordered. The mirror looked all over the Enchanted Forest and came up empty.
"My Queen, there is no trace of a Port Charles in the Enchanted Forest. It seems your guest has been lying about her whereabouts," he explained.
"This Port Charles doesn't even exist here," she said aloud pacing across the room. "She's from another world," she continued. She looked at the mirror again. "That is all. Leave me now."
Regina continued to pace. She was sad and angry. She thought she had possibly found a friend in this woman and now another person betrayed her. "I'm going to destroy her."
The next morning…
Britt walked into the dining hall for breakfast when she heard Regina's voice behind her. "Good morning Britt."
Britt turned around. "Good morning Regina," she greeted.
"Before we have breakfast, I would like for you to walk with me. I have something very important to discuss with you."
"Sure," she said. She followed Regina out into the courtyard. "What do we need to discuss?" Britt asked. Regina faced her slowly and then suspended her in the air.
"You dear and your lies. You have one chance to tell me the truth or I will kill you without hesitation."
"What are you doing?" she asked panicking. "I've told you the truth!" she cried out.
Regina brought her closer and grabbed her throat. "You betrayed my trust. There is no Port Charles and you aren't my friend any longer. Now, I will have to make you pay," she said harshly.
"Regina, wait. It does exist. Just listen to me," she pleaded. "Just hear me out." Britt's eyes got wide and Regina could feel the fear radiating off of her. She smirked and dropped her on the ground.
"Talk and this better be a believable story," Regina said.
