Andy was about to knock on Miranda's door but noticed it to be ajar. She bushed it open and found her sister kneeling on the floor heart in her hand. A real human heart. Fear jumped in her heart and stomach when she saw Miranda's body lifeless on the floor.
"Gia, what have you done?"
"You don't deserve to be happy!" And shift movement. Her sister disappeared. Andy ran to the body and tried to wake her but knew it was useless. The blood on Miranda's chest told her everything she needed. Blinded by anger and hate she called her broom. Ruby had come to the room when she had heard her cry and now was standing there with her wide eyes open.
"Andy, what..who?"
"Regina." She spit the name out form her mouth. She mounted her broom and left to kill her sister.
Andy blew up the front door to the mansion and stormed in to the study where she heard startled cries. When her sister saw her she binded her to her roots.
"You killed her." Andy spit out.
"What? Who?"
"You killed Miranda. And now I am going to kill you."
"Rea, I didn't."
"I saw you Regina! You had her heart in your hand!" She flicked her wrist which held her wand and Regina could feel cuts forming on her body. When she was about to use the last and final curse on her sister. Emma walked in..
"What a hell?"
"She killed Miranda." Andy flicked her wand at Emma. The blonde was tied to the chair.
"What? When?"
"About ten minutes ago."
"Andy, she couldn't have done that. I have been here the whole time." Emma begged.
"You weren't here a minute ago." Andy was angry. Her heart has been broken by her sister. It was the second time already and she really couldn't take it anymore.
"I was two minutes ago! I just went out back to call Henry when I heard the explosion, Andy. Let her go." Andy thought for a minute. Her anger disappeared and she fell on her knees. The Spells were off. Regina could move again and so did Emma. Emma was about pull out her gun when she was pushed aside and the older brunet was kneeling to her sister. Regina took her in her arms and let her sister cry her pain on her shoulder. Soon after that her father, David called Emma telling there was a body, but Emma already knew who's body it was. Miranda Priestly had died today leaving behind her true love and her darling children.
Regina couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe her sister had lost her true love. She felt her pain inside her heart. Who else could do this than her and Rumble? Only one could come to her mind and she really hoped to be wrong.
She had left her sister sleeping on her guestroom when she took her cell and called Emma.
"Do you have any idea who has done this?" She asked.
"No, I don't. First I thought it could have been Mr. Gold, but he has alibi, Belle." She could hear anguish on the blonde's voice.
"I might have an idea." She started to make coffee.
"Well?"
"Cora."
"But how? How could she be here? We were the only ones who came out of that portal."
"I know, she must have found another way, but who else could do this and look like me?"
"You are right. We need to make a plan to trap her and send her to hell."
"Yes, I know. Come home soon." She ended the call and saw Andy standing there with her puffy eyes.
"Mom's alive?"
"It seems so and she is here."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Dear, I was going to."
"I miss her, Regina. I miss her so much." And she didn't mean their mother. It was heart breaking to see her little sister to be broken so deeply. "I..I have to call Nigel and let him know. I have to..I have to.." Regina took a hold on her sister when she was about to crash on the kitchen's floor.
"I'll take care of them. Don't worry about it now."
"I.. How.. Gia. How do I go on?" Andy sobbed.
"I don't know. I turned to be the evil queen after I lost Daniel, but I wont let you turn to one."
"I almost killed you." She whispered. "If Emma wouldn't have been there.."
"I would have done the same thing, dear. I would have done the same thing." Regina kissed her sisters forehead.
They were still sitting on the kitchen's floor when Emma came back with Snow White and Charming. She instantly took her sister in protective hug and asked Emma to help her to move this small fragile body to the living room's sofa. Few minutes later the body in her arms was asleep again.
"We need to question her." David said with little too cold voice.
"You can do it later. Now I will not let you talk to her."
"Regina, She is suspect and we need her statement." Snow continued.
"Snow, You are not the Sheriff, you don't even work for one! So back off!" She hissed. Trying not to wake her sister.
"I told you guys." Emma sat next Regina. "She is asleep anyways."
"No, You are the Sheriff and our daughter. You need to do your job as one!" Emma heard her mother say. "And Henry needs you at home."
"As much as he needs me. They need me more. I think Ruby can look after him little while longer."
"We need to know what happened." David was getting angry.
"You haven't told them?" Regina glanced at Emma.
"Hadn't had the chance." Emma wanted to kiss her but knew it was totally wrong time to do so. Regina nodded.
"This woman in my arms, is my little sister. Her true love was killed." Andy started to stir on her lap. "Gia." Her voices hoarse after crying her eyes and voice out. "They need to know."
Andy sat down on her own. She felt her sister's hand on her shoulders.
"I am Regina's little sister. I was the one who saved you that day." Andy lay her eyes on Snow White.
"You?"
"Yeah. When we were younger we did look like twins." Andy smiled. "I didn't want to marry your dad so Regina and I stole a book from our mother and studied how to open a portal. Well, we learned to do so. I went first and I waited about three days for Regina to come, but she never did."
"Our mother pulled me back and made me marry your father." Regina told the reason why she hadn't followed.
"Then I met some good people. Studied hard.. along time actually. Magic and journalism which is the reason I ended up here." She felt her eyes misting again remembering Miranda, but she pushed them away. "And I found Regina. I was going to kill her, because I saw her kneeled next to Miranda her heart in her hand. If Emma wouldn't have been here. She would be dead too." Andy felt shame. She had been filled so much anger and hate. It would have been so easy to kill.
"Then why is Regina still here and not at the station?" David asked.
"Because she didn't do it." Emma took her turn to talk. "I had been here the most of the day and she hadn't moved an inch away from me while I was here." It was time for her parents to know. Emma took a hold on Regina´s hand. "I am dating the mayor." She glanced at her lover.
"Well, I would say you do allot more than that." Regina smirked.
"Well, anyways.." Her parents were in shock. "About two hours ago Regina called me and told her suspicion."
"You two are together?" Their mother asked in shocked voice.
"Really, You still hanging on that? Guys, I am trying to tell you who killed Miranda!" Regina really couldn't do anything at all than smirk. The situation was serious, but she still enjoyed those looks on Emma's parents face. It was priceless.
"Okay, okay then.. who?" David asked.
They all sat in silence until Andy took a deep breath. "Our mother."
dMiranda stirred when she felt a hand on her face. It was gentle and soft like Andrea's, but it was much more cooler than hers. "Andrea?" Her voice was hoarse.
"No, not quite." She heard older woman's voice. "I am her mother."
"Oh, wonderful. Family reunion."
"Something like that." Miranda studied her for a while. The older woman looked elegant and she did wear quality clothes. She seemed to like Prada. New Jimmy choo's were the exception.
"What have you done?" Miranda's voice was cool like she would be talking to her staff.
Cora gave her wicked smile. "I have done allot of things, my dear."
"Yes, you have." Miranda had been tied to the chair very well, because she had lost her feeling on her hands.
"But this time. I did kill you and your dear Andrea thinks that her lovable sister did it."
"What kind of a mother are you?"
"I just wanted best for my children, but they don't see it as such." Cora came closer to her and yet again touched her face. "You do have lovely skin. Unique hair."
"I suppose I should thank you for the compliment."
"That would be nice, but we both know you wont do that. Don't we?" Cora winked. "They call you the dragon lady?"
"Among other things." Miranda sniffed.
"Why?"
"Because I don't have balls."
Cora laughed out loud. "Really? Because you don't have balls?"
"Yes, in this world when you get where I am as a woman. You get to be called allot of things."
"Oh, you are saying this is a man's world."
"Yes."
"Too bad. Well, I have to change that then."
"You?" Miranda couldn't help the laugher which escaped from her mouth.
"You doubt my power now, Miranda. You have no idea what I am capable of, but I will show you." Cora started to murumur something out loud. There was purple smoke which filled the cabin. Just now Miranda noticed she was in side of a ship. Old ship. Soon the smoke left form the cabin.
"What did you do?"
"Just cursed this whole town to be separated from the outer world until I get Andrea and she will teach me how to use her magic so I can step out of this bubble to your world."
"What makes you think she will help you?"
"Oh, she had just lost you because of her sister. She needs me." Cora's smile was evil.
"You don't know her."
"Oh, I do. I do know what hate does to my children and Andrea isn't any better than her sister is."Cora left the cabin with her evil laugh.
Darling, I am still alive. Please. Please, don't do anything harsh. Miranda prayed. She hang her head feeling her eyes tear.
