2nd to my Past, Present and Future sequel.
Past Present
"I shall ask again nicely, release me this instance. Emma come on! Regina please!" The young girl yelped in desperation. She was inhabiting one of the cells in the Sheriff's station.
"It's Madame Mayor and Sheriff Swan for you young lady!" Regina said in her threatening voice, she's eyeing the young girl with annoyance painted on her beautiful face.
"Ugh! You've got to be kidding me!" The young girl complained. "Alright. Madame Mayor and Sheriff Swan will you please release me from this cage? Please!" She said with conviction. I got better things to do. She was holding the cell bars and bouncing in anticipation of pleading to the Mayor and Sheriff.
"How is that you know us? When we don't even know you." Questioned by the Sheriff calmly. Completely ignoring the request from the girl.
"Tell us your name and your objectives from there we shall decide wether to release you or not" Regina inquired getting irritated by the second now.
"This is abusing authority! I didn't do anything, need I to remind you that I did not harm any citizen of yours. I was merely saving myself from the troll who by the way attacked me with his axe!" She explained, still whining.
"This is not even abusing authority kid, we just want to know your name. That's all" Emma said, getting tired as time pass with this interrogation.
"Fine, I'm... Do.. Thea" The young girl said sounding unsure of herself. I knew this would happen, but not this kind of situation. They can't know who I am.
"Speak louder, dear" Regina stated with her best Mayoral voice.
"I said my name is Thea" She answered irritated. That tone of voice, I don't like it. But I missed it tho.
"Thea... Ok, you got a surname kid?" Emma asked as she scribbled on her notepad. I need more info.
"It's actually short for Dorothea, but some call me Thea. And no, I don't have one" Thea answered sadly. It is not entirely the truth, I could confirm they wouldn't buy it. Ugh! But they cannot know my real name tho. Perks about being magical. Swell, just swell.
"What kind of being does not have a surname?" Regina hissed.
"The magical kind?!" Thea snarled at the Mayor and yelled "Just release me! I don't like being in a dungeon!" The young lad stomp her foot.
"A prison cell is more appealing than a dungeon dear" Regina said with a mocking tone. Knowing to well her castle before in the Enchanted Forest posses awful looking dungeons. Oh the good old memories of being the Queen, the Evil Queen.
"You know what, I had it! I asked nicely, I said please. Enough of this none sense" Thea is clearly fed up with this. I am so done with this interrogation, time to put things in my own hands now! she smirked.
Dorothea snapped her fingers, thinking in a snap she would be out of the cell. When it didn't work "What?! Why isn't it working?" She questioned herself.
"My dear, we are not that arrogant to consider that you have magical powers. I have cast a spell on that very cell of yours" Regina supplied her answers while smiling, her best politician smile.
"Good luck with that, you're magic-free for now." Said by Emma. She moved to Regina's side. Should stand near Regina, to protect her. Better safe than sorry, ugh. Why am I drawn to Regina lately.
"You can't use magic, you are helpless in there" Regina said noticing the Sheriff's movements and in her surprise that Emma was beside her. Protective much, Ms. Swan.
"Is that so Madame Mayor? Helpless? Hmn" Thea smirked at the Mayor. We'll see about that.
"What are you doing?" Regina asked, confusion evident in her voice.
"Tying my hair, what does it look like Madame Mayor?" She answered in a matter of fact voice and continued smugly "I didn't want my hair get caught in fire, now do I?" She tied her long wavy brunette hair in a high pony tail and titling it to the side.
Dorothea extended her hands in front of her, on her right hand she have conjured electricity while her left hand conjured fire. She combined both element in a ball like shape when she barely connected her hands together. With that happenings, the fluorescent in the station was flickering on and off. The winds was present as well, not sure where it came from but it blew Emma's paper works on her desk. The first reaction of the Sheriff was to protect since she is the Savior. Emma place her arm before Regina, acting as a human shield.
"I asked nicely, you did not grant my request. Now watch carefully what I am capable of" Dorothea said in a voice that went an octave lower than her usual. She then extended her hand towards the magical spell that Regina have cast. The invisible shield is now being cracked, it happened so fast leaving Emma and Regina no time to blink when the invisible shield was shattered in the thin air only the sounds of shattered glass could be heard.
Fear, why am I feeling fear? Regina thought, she back away when she felt Emma hugged her to be her human shield. Emma? she was utterly confuse on what was happening. She kept her eyes on the young girl, not wanting to miss any of her powerful magical abilities.
Dorothea held one of the cell bars with her right hand and instantly the cell bars was sizzling with heat. Like when a black smith takes out a heated piece of rectangular metal to form a sword. The cell bars melted to her single touch and formed into an abstract metal ball in her fist till there was no metal bar before her cell.
Then everything stopped; the winds, the flickering lights. She stepped out of her cell that she was inhabiting and said "Sorry about your cell, Sheriff Swan. Let me fix it for you" shy stated smugly and with that she threw the metal ball towards the metal less cell, dark pink smoked appeared and in an instant the cell was good as new.
"I'm hungry, and surely you have questions for me. Lets go to Granny's Diner and have breakfast" Dorothea said casually to two women before her clearly still dumbfounded by the show of Dorothea's few magical skills.
"How.. What..." Emma was out of words to convey. She slowly released her hold to Regina
"Why?" Regina said breathlessly, instantly missing the warmth the Sheriff have given her for a brief second there.
"Because I'm hungry" duh Dorothea said like it is the most obvious thing ever. Pancakes with maple syrup and apple freaking sauce, now.
Past Future
The Enchanted Forest is quite a place to live in that is if you know your in and out of it. Two young Royalties explore the woods surrounding their West Kingdom. They have sneaked out from their guards and bribed their handmaidens and servants, to not 'tell' their mother, the Queen where they were and what they were up to.
"Is that the best you could do lil sister?" The Prince asked playfully. Eyeing his sister carefully.
"You wait brother" Responded by the young Princess cutely. Frustration was written all over her features with a hint of determination. The Princess was struggling with her armor, she do have to get a change of clothes since her dresses aren't really ideal to discover the woods with comfort.
"Century have passed sis" He stated in a bored tone. Clearly trying to irritate the young Princess who was now putting the last of her armor.
"Oh you are just exaggerating brother!" She exclaimed to her older brother.
"Fine, just hurry. We need to be back before supper. Surely mother would be worried... Again" The Prince said with the bit of despair.
"Oh hush brother! Are you becoming scared of her now? Ooh somebody's becoming a Pus-" She encouraged and mocked her brother at the same time and was cut off shortly.
"Responsible child of the queen" The Prince 'helped' her finish the sentence. So crass, wonder where she got it from. Surely not mother, ooh it should be from E- he was snapped out of his thoughts.
"Yeah, right. Whatever you say Prince. I'm ready!" She stated like a fanatic that was very eager for the next episode of some sort of show. But Enchanted Forrest don't have any televisions, so the Princess was just to eager to spend sometime with her brother, the Prince who patiently teaches him how to be a knight tho she couldn't be one by right. But she could learn secretly, surely their mother; the Queen would not approve of.
"About time, Princess" He answered with relief. He positioned himself beside his sister "Now keep your arm steady, like this" He extended his arm holding the bow, then placed the arrow between the bow. A moment there, her sister thought that he was the coolest person living in their land. She just stared at him with much adoration in her eyes, then she refocused on the matter.
"Ok, like this?" She mimicked the Prince.
"Yes, like that. Nice, now pull. When you pull that would be your momentum. Feel your arrow" He demonstrated.
"Like when you told me before I slay with my sword, I should think that my sword is a connection of me?" She asked while recalling the memory.
"Yes, that is correct. But this time, your bow is the extension of your body while the arrow would be a mere connection that you would let go" He said softly with a smile. She remembered.
"Ok.. I got it" She pulled but the arrow did not punctured the trunk of the tree that she was aiming but instead it backfired. The fletching of the arrow hit her rosy cheek with that she yelped in pain "Ouch! Ugh! Henry!" Dorothea is now crying hysterically.
"F*ck" Henry said breathlessly, the seen before him didn't registered to him straightaway. He only knew he felt fear and that he was in big trouble. Very big trouble. He wouldn't hear the end of this from his Mother, Regina.
"Potty mouth! Henry it hurts! Ugh" Young Dorothea pointed out and resumed crying while she covered her right cheek that is now oozing blood between her small fingers.
Past Present
After the 'unfortunate' event in the Sheriff's station, the trio; Madame Mayor, Sheriff Swan and the newly arrived 'guest' in Storybrooke are now sitting in one of Granny's booth waiting for their foods to be served.
"So what brings you here in Storybrooke?" Emma broke the silence.
"So what brings you here in Storybrooke?! That is your question?! How absurd of you" Regina expressed her disapproval with a loud sigh.
"Well, I could always start with 'good morning, how did you slept last night in your cell?' Instead, yes I am going with 'what brings you to Storybrooke' question" Emma pointed out.
"Unbelievable! Let me do all the talking Ms. Swan" Regina countered in her best territorial voice.
Yes, bickering. You two are really good at that. Dorothea thought.
"Be my guest, Madame Mayor" Emma said with a gesture of her hand to convey.
"You shall leave my town and never come back, or consequences shall put you to test" Came out in a monotone voice of the Mayor but it sounded so threatening, yet the young lad in front of them did not even flinch. Emma did flinch how Regina sounded so cold.
"That does not how it works, lady" She said plainly. Just in time when Ruby placed their meals before them. Dorothea and Emma thanked Ruby sweetly and both are now happy munching their breakfast.
"Excuse me?!" Regina blinked andstated in a piercing tone then she said to Emma with a higher pitch than her usual "She just called me lady" she sounded rather offended by it.
"Regina... Relax let me try" Soothed Emma and squeezed the Mayor's elbows indicating to have her breakfast. Which Regina complied Good girl Emma thought. What?! Good girl? Where did that came from? Emma dismissed her thoughts.
"Dorothea, right?" Questioned by the Sheriff.
"Yes that is correct, Sheriff" Dorothea answered, closely watching the two women before her how they interact. Yep, they really like each other.
"So where are you from? You seem really young for traveling around on your own"
"Young, yes. Traveling around, no. Where I am from, is classified" Dorothea stated and arched her perfectly trimmed eyebrow on the last statement.
Why does that arched eyebrow looks so familiar "Classified? What do you mean?" Regina thought and questioned but was ignored by the two. Why am I being ignored?! She stabbed the pancake like it did something bad to her. Oh poor pancake.
"So if you are old enough, and you are not traveling around. What brings you to Storybrooke, Dorothea?" Emma pushed more questions for the young girl.
How does she does that? Questioning so calmly and getting answers instantly. Oh Emma you are truly amazing. Huh, Emma? No it's Ms. Swan. Regina thought and mentally kicking off the thought out of her head.
"Well I am here to learn? I don't know, I got to do something I think. So I'm just gonna stay here for awhile cuz trust me Emma... Er.. Sheriff Swan you would be needing my help... Magically, at least" Dorothea said sounding uncertain yet with the hint of little confidence on the last part.
"What makes you say that? You are a threat!" Regina exclaimed the last part where she gained pairs of eyes from the regulars of the Diner. She continued calmly in a low voice "Like I said she should leave town, it's not safe for us if she stayed here" she said more likely to Emma while eyeing the young lad.
"Because if I am a threat in this town as you eloquently put it. I would probably destroyed Storybrooke by now and you all will be hiding from me while I take all of your happiness" she said plainly in a dead serious tone and followed by "Trust me, things Could turn out worse than me arriving here unexpectedly" You have no idea what help I could be to you all.
Present Future
At the East Kingdom, She always visits her 'other' family as her mother, the Queen eloquently put it. She regularly visits them on the first Friday of every month after 'the unfortunate event' had happened. She was accompanied by her many 'chaperon' guards- as her dear brother have said- and handmaidens. Her brother, Henry have said it is better to be safe than sorry and she can't help to argue with him and his protectiveness of her only sister. Since then, she was welcomed by the King and Queen of the East; Snow White and David with open arms.
But this certain visit was different among all of the others, the castle seem to be dull and cold not like it's usual warm and happy feeling when she enters. Instead of the greeting she was accustomed to receive from the King and Queen they just gave her a sad smile, their eyes says they were sorry and seeking acceptance. Acceptance to what? Then she saw Snow out of the corner of her eye threw herself to David mouthing words that were not audible to her. It's like a silent plea from the Queen to her King who hugged her tightly and soothed her loving Queen.
She found herself in the one of the many rooms that was decorated extravagantly in the East Kingdom castle, one of the castle guards escorted her in. There she found her mother's lover lying flat on their back looking peacefully asleep and remarkably pale.
"No!" Dorothea exclaimed, seeing how badly ill this person she was grown found of since she was a little girl. She lounged herself forward to the now lanky form on the bed "No, no. Please don't, please don't leave me. I can't lose you too." The Princess said in a despaired voice.
"It's ok Do Do" Said in a sad voice and followed by "Oh love bug, don't cry. You know how I feel when you cry" there was a hitched in the voice, a glimpse of pain and fear of dying. While Regina's lover brought their hand to stroke the Princess' cheek that was now covered with tears.
"I know, I'm sorry. You said when I cry, you see her cry because I look like mother. I just can't, please don't leave me too. You can't die, you just can't. Please" Dorothea said pleading to the person she was cradling in her arms. Her dress being ignored from the fact that it would leave markings for not sitting properly. She recalled her mother, Regina would remind her to sit like a lady.
"My sweet one, I told you that everything happens for a reason. Right?"
"Yes, but these... These does not make any sense. There are no good reasons for these to happen to me. To you, to us. Our family, we don't deserve these none sense!" She is now sobbing openly.
"You might not understand it now, but eventually you will my love bug. My Do Do, I know you will. And always remember that, your Mother Regina and I will always love forever and a day after forever" With that; the person Dorothea have grown to love and that have taught her so much things about life and how one could pass by it's challenges, closed their eyes with the last image they have seen was the face of the now grown young lady, that was loved the most.
Now Dorothea have to face the challenges of life would give her on her own, well you could say with her brother but Henry was very distant since then 'the unfortunate event' happened. Everyone was distant after that she thought.
Alone, I am alone once again.
BABIES: I lessened the scenarios for this one and prolonged them a bit, maybe that would help? How is everyone holding up? Did I just happen to kill a major character/characters that you have not known yet?! OMG! Yes! Henry is the brother of Dorothea, step-brother but still. Which means, Dorothea's birth mother would be Regina. Now we all have to know who's that 'lover' person who keeps calling Dorothea, Do Do surely it's not Regina. *wink wink* She was opposed to the nickname, anyway. Are you getting it somehow? I don't know, please enlighten me with your thoughts.
Reviews are like sweets for me, you got me hooked like a toddler in the candy store. *wink wink*
