A/N- I hope you enjoyed my first chapter of the sequel. I hope to hear some feedback on what you think.
This week was stressful and long for Selena. Things were returning back to normal, Selena replaced Snow at the school. Selena loves it , it helps her take her mind off of things. Selena had become very close with Ivy. Ivy was working in a vet, she enjoyed using her powers to take care of the animals. Neal was growing by the day. One day at the celebration of the defeat of the wicked witch Regina had a surprise when Emma and Hook brought Marian back from the dead. Regina would keep things to herself and made sure not to bump into Robin.
(Flashback)
There was that one time when Marian confronted Regina calling her allsorts of things until Selena spoke her mind, and told her to be careful or she would regret it. Marian was surprised and used the is that how your mother raised you? Selena kept her cool and replied back to that full on No she didn't but if she did I probably wouldn't be saying all those things. With that said they both left, all the things she heard about Marian made her think. Something was not right and she will find out.
The weather had become cold, and the mornings were frosty. This morning was icy, the roads were covered in black ice and everyone was being careful. Regina made sure to drop Selena off to work and then made her way to her office. The day was busy for Regina, keeping herself up to date with her paperwork. Selena had a stressful day , the children were too excited for their summer break. Selena was looking forward to summer break, there was only two more days left.
It was getting dark when Selena made her way home from work. She couldn't wait to bathe and have a glass of red wine. The floors were still slippery , Selena nearly fell a couple of times. She walked through an alley way and as she looked back she noticed that she was being followed by three men. Selena picked up her pace and saw that the men had too. Selena began to panic, her pulse had picked up speed and she began to shake. Not now! She focused on her breathing and looked back again but they weren't there. Am I seeing thing or am I just tired? When she turned back there was two of the men standing in front of her. Selena took a few shaky steps backwards, when she bumped into a firm yet squishy object. She slowly turned "Well, well. Where do you think your going." The man said. The other two men grabbed Selena's wrists. Selena began to feel herself shake. "If I were you id let go." Selena told them making sure she sounded firm and not afraid. The man that stood behind her moved to stand in front of her. "We have been given orders to deal with you." He said aggressively as he kneed her in the stomach. Selena grit her teeth in pain. The impact caused her to cough up blood. "Y-You W-ill regret that." She said hoarsely. She began to shake and her pulse quickened. The men holding her looked at one another and back to the man in front. Im guessing he is the leader. Selena felt a burning sensation on her cheek and noticed that the man had back handed her. "SHUT UP!" he shouted and kneed her again. She coughed up more blood but her shaking became more violent and all Selena could was pain. Please stop! The pain! I cant take it!
When Selena opened her eyes she was met by Robin leaning over her. "Selena! Are you ok? Stay with me!" Robin gently picked her up into a carrying position. All Selena felt was pain, from her ribs and cheek. She felt magically drained. She was going in and out of consciousness. The last thing Selena saw was the bodies of the 3 men, and then she heard her mum and Robin talking. "No No, Selena." Regina said noticing blood on Selenas face. "I found her lying on the floor." Robin took Selena upstairs and laid her on her bed, and made his way back down to Regina "Thank you for bringing her home." Regina said to Robin as she kept her distance.. "Ill do anything to keep you, Henry and Selena safe." Robin told her as he took a step towards her. Regina took a step back, tears forming in her eyes. Again my happiness has been taken away from me. Seeing him brings all the pain back. "Robin you have Marian back. You was right, we shouldn't see each other anymore. I will always love you, but no one should love a monster." With that she shut the door and leaned against it, letting her tears fall freely. Robin felt like his heart had been ripped out and crushed. Marian was dead, I love Regina. I don't think I can stay away, yes I said we shouldn't see each other. But I cant! Tears fell from Robins eyes as he made his was back to camp.
The next morning Selena woke up with a start. Regina was there to comfort her when she woke. She cleaned the blood off her face and checked with magic if there was anymore damage on her body. Regina didn't sleep much, how could she when her daughter was attacked. "Your ok, your safe now." Regina told her reassuringly. "I-Im going to be late for work." She told her mother groggily. "I rang up and told them what happened, so your summer break starts now." It all hit Selena all the memories from the day before came back. Tears formed in her eyes "How did I get home? I remember seeing Robin." Regina put a hand on top of Selenas. "Robin found you and brought you home." Selena remembered more, tears fell freely. "Mum I didn't mean to hurt them." Regina pulled Selena gently to her chest. "Its ok, they deserved it. Who do you think did this?" Selena looked up to her mother, her blue eyes pink from crying. "I-I think well I have a gut feeling that there is someone new in town, there has to be." Regina nodded in agreement. Selena attempted to get out of the bed , but the pain in her ribs began to ache. "You have to take it easy, you've got bruised ribs." Selena sighed , she didn't like the thought of being in bed all day. "Is there something you could do? I don't want to stay in bed all day. Please mum." Selena asked Regina with desperation in her eyes. "I don't think I can honey, I can help ease the pain so you can move around. " Selena nodded "Please mum, I believe in you." Regina waved her hand over Selena and watched Selena relax more as the pain subsided. She wondered how long the spell would last. Selena thanked her mum and got herself up from bed. Regina waited to see if she needed help. Selena felt slightly dizzy when she got up but felt no pain thanks to her mother. She chose a frilly floral burgundy dress with burgundy flats and a cardigan . when she was dressed and ready she made herself and her mother a cup of coffee. They spoke about the day ahead and that Regina was going to be working from home. Regina didn't want to press yesterdays incident with Selena too much so she thanked Selena for the coffee and went to work in her office.
Selena checked her phone to find many missed calls from Ivy. "Hi Selena please call back, Im worried about you. Are you ok? I heard what happened. Please call back." Selena wrote back to her saying that she is ok and also asked her how she was, also not to worry. Selena looked around the house , she felt trapped and afraid to go out and away from the house. She got her canvas, easel and paints and went to the garden. Painting helped clear her head and get all emotions out, even though most of the time it was when she was upset. Regina smiled as she saw Selena painting her apple tree, but frowned because she knew something was upsetting her. Selenas phone buzzed. "Thank god , I was so worried. Are you injured? Yeah Im ok now." Selena was thankful to have a very close friend like Ivy. When she finally finished her painting, she cleaned up and made her way inside. She freshened up and made her way downstairs. She smelt dinner which made her stomach grumble. She hadn't eaten since breakfast. After dinner Selena asked her mum if they could have a movie night. "Sure, is Ivy coming?" Regina asked. "Im sure she will, Im going to text her. Selena cleaned the table and washed the dishes and went to text Ivy. Ivy seemed happy and quickly accepted. All the snacks were ready. Selena felt the spell wear off, the pan kicking in but not as bad as this morning.
The evening went well they all sat on the sofas and watched 'Hansel and Gretel' They ate popcorn, drank hot coco and had chocolate and crisps. Selena thought of Alec and if he was coming back for her like he said, or had he moved on. With this in her thoughts she fell asleep before the film ended. When the movie ended Ivy laughed as she noticed Selena out like a light. Regina also laughed and began to clean up the snack bowls. Ivy also helped. She thanked Regina and made her way home. "Make sure you get home safely." Regina told her before Ivy rode off on her bike. Regina made her way back to the living room and turned the television off. When she went to wake Selena she noticed a tear slide down her cheek. She wiped it away knowing who Selena was dreaming of. "Selena, honey we need to get you to bed. You cant sleep here." Regina cooed to her as she moved a few strands of hair from her face.
Selena made her way upstairs not letting her discomfort be known. "I love you mum." She told Regina as she kissed her goodnight. When she changed and slipped into bed she felt like she was laying on clouds. She thought of Alec again as she drifted off to sleep, but also wondering who the newcomer was that attacked her .Well gave orders for her to be attacked.
