HAS BEEN CHANGED!

"This is exactly why I kept you hidden!" Regina reasoned as she paced through the castle, followed soon after by Lily, Robin and Roland,

"You could never keep me hidden forever" Lily said as she started to become breathless "MOM!" she shouted before long as she reached forward and grabbed the woman's arm bringing the four of them to a halt, "You can't start freaking out because you are going to scare everyone, including Roland!" she explained, "Zelena isn't going to harm me, I know you won't let her but acting like there's this window of opportunity for it is just going to freak me out and make everyone think that this witch is actually a threat!"

"But she is a threat" Regina said through gritted teeth, trying to keep Roland and others from hearing it. Robin took a step forward and put Roland down, covering his ears.

"If we start looking like we actually are scared of her everyone will freak out, who knows what chaos could occur" Robin said looking at them both,

"We agree" Snow added as she walked to the group with Charming,

"The last thing we need is hundreds of scared people running around this castle" Charming nodded as the group formed a circle, "It would be a nightmare"

"Well what do you expect me to do? Just act like she didn't just threaten my daughter? Act like my daughter is completely safe here?" Regina spat there was a clear trace of worry in her voice; she looked behind her and ran a hand across her forehead before looking back at the group,

"Zelena threatened Lils?" Snow asked in shock,

"Yes, she's made kidnapping Lily part of her 'plan' and she says she'll be back to get her" Robin murmured as Roland started to get restless not being able to hear much, he began to shake his head

"Papa" The little boy groaned before pushing his father's hands away and standing in the middle of the circle,

"Lily take Roland whilst we sort this out" Regina ordered in habit, she wanted Lily out of the official business

"No! I'm part of this and you're going to have this discussion with me here" Lily said distressed, she ran a hand through her loose hair

"Its fine I'll find Little John or Tuck" Robin smiled at Lily; he then took Roland in his arms and moved across the hall they were now standing in.

"You guys can start by telling me why Zelena is trying to hurt my mom" Lily told the three that were left as she crossed her arms,

"We think that she is jealous of Regina, because your Grandma Cora gave her away as a baby and Regina had the life she wanted" Charming explained, "We don't know why that causes Zelena to want to hurt Regina but she does and now she wants to hurt you"

"Right, so we just have to keep her away from me and this castle then she won't hurt anyone" Lily shrugged,

"It's not that easy, there is no spell we can put on here without her getting in, she has my blood" Regina hummed,

"Yes there is, the spell she put up to keep us out; the one that you destroyed, remake it and protect us all!" Lily exclaimed smiling, she looked at Snow and Charming who nodded,

"Clever one you are" Charming smiled walking over toward lily and standing behind her, he placed his hands on her shoulders "It's a good idea Regina"

Regina nodded to herself; her eyes looked lifelessly at the floor as if she was in deep thought and not actually in reality. Lily began to get restless and started to tap her foot,

"Just get it up" She groaned as she paced away quickly, Regina flicked her head up in response; her eyes became wide as she wondered what that was about and where she'd learnt to be that rude. Regina sighed and realised why as Robin appeared from around the corner,

"You!" She shouted, she gasped a little at the volume of her own voice before covering her mouth. Robin's eyes dashed up looking at the woman, he stood stuck to the spot and slowly brought his hand up to his chest pointing at himself,

"Me?" he mumbled,

"You, have made my daughter rude! No way would she have ever spoken to me like that before!" Regina exclaimed walking quickly toward the thief; with a small sense of fear Robin stepped backwards to keep a distance between himself and the Evil Queen,

"She has not got rude Regina, she can just stick up for herself now which she couldn't do when she lived with you" Robin muttered as he turned away, ever since he'd met the Queen all she had done was criticise his care of Lily which bugged him. Regina gasped a little to herself wondering why everyone was being so angry with her today; she shook her head and placed a hand on her forehead, she didn't think re-uniting with her lost daughter would be this stressful. Regina paced toward the courtyard, her high heels clacked along the floor like they used too, she remembered when her regal walk used to strike terror into the hearts of her subjects. She walked alone and disheartened she didn't imagine feeling this way ever again, when she got Henry her life was to be full, but it wasn't; it was far from full. She reached the courtyard and set her spell into the cauldron that lay in the middle a deep purple burst of magic threw itself from the cauldron; flying high into the dull sky she watched it contently as it formed a dome around the large palace. She hoped this would keep the wicked witch out for good.

Rumple's Castle

Rumplestilskin groaned as he was awoken from his light noisy slumber, the voice in his head kept chanting at him Papa papa papa papa… he shook his head violently as his nails dragged at the hard table which his cage sat on, the eerie shriek that his long nails made was unheard by the dark one, his head was far too loud for that. However his mistress heard it perfectly well, she had been the reason for his awaking, her long boots clomped along the marble floor as she gripped tightly onto the dagger of the dark one she wasn't letting it go for anyone, soon the crocodiles lover would tell her enemies of her new possession and they would soon try to get him back. Zelena walked over to a small ball that sat on the table where Rumple's potions lay, she waved her hand over it and watched her sister cast a protection curse over the palace where her intended hostage was kept, she growled and screeched in anger,

"STOP!" she ordered with an aggressive tone, "How am I supposed to plan a kidnap with your stupid nails clawing away at that table!" She shouted flicking his dagger toward the ceiling; she racked a hand through her thick tangled blonde hair and growled once more,

"You are frustrated I see?" The man asked with a slight cackle, "Did Regina block your way to her daughter?"

"Yes but I will get her, I will get that little girl" The green woman snarled through gritted teeth, her hand whacked on the table getting aggravated with her inability to think of a way to capture her niece.

"How?" Rumplestilskin muttered with a slight grin, Zelena's eyes turned to hate as she looked at her hostage, she walked up to his cage and grabbed his neck,

"I don't know but you will help me" She ordered gripping the dagger tightly in her fist.

A Day Later – Regina's Palace

Lily ran through the palace corridors, her white flats flew across the floor gracefully as she spun around a corner, soon her pace was stopped as she came to see her mother. Regina looked down with wide eyes as her daughter threw her pastel blue dress to the floor and smoothed down the creases, the girl looked up at her mother and smiled brightly,

"What were you running about for?" The Queen asked suspiciously,

"No reason mom" Lily chirped with a sweet grin, her mother rolled her eyes and smiled back

"How can I be mad at you?" She chuckled as she stroked the girls cheek, Regina had come to the conclusion that her attempt to get her old Lily back was doomed to failure so she just had to deal with this new one,

"Mom, did you hear? Snow is pregnant!" she chirped looking at her mother with bright eyes, "Isn't it wonderful!"

"Quite" Regina replied as her eyes fell to the floor, snow white's pregnancy was not a conversation she imagined having with her daughter at any point in her life. Lily sensed the avoidance of the topic and sighed to herself wondering why her mother hated Snow so much, Regina took her daughters hand and began to walk.

"So Mom what happened whilst you were in the other world" Lily queried looking up at her mother, Regina's company had always made the young girl feel safe, it was like nothing had ever changed, like no years had passed,

"Nothing that would interest you my darling" The woman said with a kind tone, Lily's face dropped a little but she still tried to keep a smile across her face, it would have been unfair to her mother to look upset,

"Oh momma ! I just remembered!" Lily gasped, her white teeth shone in the light of the fires that lit up the walls as a bright smile emerged, she turned to her mother and looked into the brown eyes that looked at her, ever so eager to hear what the girl was going to say, "Daddy! I have missed him ever so much; did he come back here with you?" She asked hopefully, she had spent most of her life visiting her father several times a week but she hadn't had the ability to see him in such a long time. Regina's eyes saddened as she thought of her Daniel, of what had happened in Storybrooke, maybe there was something that happened in that year after the curse broke that the girl did need to know. The Queen turned to face her daughter and top both of the small hands into her own, holding her Lily close to her.

She didn't know how to break this to her child, that her father was truly gone and there was no way for her even to visit him; if only whale had left Daniel in the state that he was,

"When you were just weeks old I met this wizard, he said he could perform the most wondrous of magic, he told me he could bring Daniel back, that he could bring back the father you have always wanted so badly." Regina started, she gulped and breathed a heavy saddened breath as she thought of the day that Whale or Frankenstein as he was known at the time told her that there was no way Daniel was coming back. She looked at her daughter and saw so much of Daniel in the girl, the light brown hair, the eyes, the smile, they all resembled Daniel and that was the only way in which her lover could be remembered anymore.

"What is it Momma?" Lily asked as she shook her mother's trying to bring her back to reality, she started to worry about why her mother was bringing this up now, what this had to do with seeing her father.

"He couldn't do it and you had to grow up fatherless. When we got to storybrooke and the curse broke this wizard, he tried again, he attempted to bring back Daniel and succeeded" The mother spoke with sadness even though Lily's face had turned to a smile, her father had been brought back to life,

"But he was not your father, he was not the man I loved, he was in pain, he was hurting and he was a monster" Regina stuttered as she held back her tears of pain and remembrance, "He was going to hurt Henry and myself so I had to use magic to take away his pain"

The young girl gasped as she figured out what her mother was trying to tell her, "Daddy, his body is gone? I can't see it even one more time?" Lily asked her voice was emotionless,

"I'm so sorry my love" Regina cried with one single tear dripping from her perfectly outlined eyes, she pulled Lily into a hug and kissed her forehead slowly,

"Did he know that I loved him?" The girl asked in between heavy breaths; she too was trying to keep back her tears,

"Yes" Regina lied, there was no way that Lily was going to ever find out that her father never knew that she existed, for all Daniel knew Regina only had Henry, their baby didn't exist, "but you still have this to remember him by" Regina added pushing Lily away slightly and taking hold of the ring that lay around the girls neck, in response Lily nodded and smiled weakly before letting the ring fall back onto her chest,

"I love you Momma" she stated

"I love you more" Regina replied.

"So now I'm older and I know all about the big bad world" Lily started looping her arm in her mothers and continuing to walk, Regina rolled her eyes to herself and smiled, she knew what was coming, "Can I go out? Can I see the places I haven't? Uncle Charming says he'll take me on a ride"

"Uncle Charming?" Regina started as her eyes widened, Lily looked at her with a grin before she carried on "Honestly, Lily I really would but… Zelena" she sighed,

"That's why Charming will take me!" She exclaimed, "Please mom, 17 years of being inside, I'm bursting to get out there and see it all!"

"You were out there for a year?" Regina questioned remembering her time under Robin's care,

"Yes, but I wasn't allowed from the camp without someone… Trolls and all" she shrugged,

"Charming can't stop Zelena from using Magic, I'm sorry Lil; it's just too dangerous. You're too precious for me to loose" Regina sighed, her fingers traced along her daughters arm,

"I understand" Lily lied; she nodded her head and kissed her mother on the cheek before departing down a separate corridor. She hurried down the corridor until she was certain that her mother wouldn't catch her up, she slowed down and sighed to herself. Lily had never understood why her mother didn't like her going out, now she had Charming and Robin to look after her but she could still only venture to the gardens. Granted there was a wicked witch trying to kidnap her but Lily knew that Charming had his share of battles with evil, she was sure he could handle a witch.

So I changed the story a little bit!

I had no passion for writing for Flynn, this is a bit of a filler chapter now but enjoy what I changed of it and the next will be up soon !
