Felicia felt sick to her stomach she doesn't know what day it is or what time it is but however long it is she wanted it to be over quickly. She didn't want to be Killian's little plaything anymore. She felt like the world was against her she could feel the blood dripping down her face over her dried blood. Everything hurt it reminded her back to when she first came to school as Felicia holding hands with Christine.
Christine was waiting for Felicia outside her house she decided that she'd drive her girlfriend to school. Christine had helped Felicia with all the legal papers to change her name. Felicia came walking out of the house looking extremely cute. It was such a relief for Christine that Felicia got the hang of walking in wedges and high heels.
"Hey, baby you ready to take on this school?" Christine asked
"I am but I'm also nervous," Felicia said
"Don't worry I have all the same classes as you. And we also have Glee club too. You'll be fine it was really great that Frederick sat next to me in all my classes." Christine said
"I love you so much thanks for staying with me," Felicia said
When lunch came Christine and Felicia was eating together. When one of the high school jocks pouring a chocolate milk carton on top of Felicia's hair. Frank the high school quarterback threw Felicia on the floor.
"Oh look at that Owen the fag fall. What a joke." Frank laughed
"Hey, dick-weeds stop messing with my girlfriend!" Christine said getting up from her seat helping Felicia to her feet when Frank laughed punching Felicia in the face.
"You've really brainwashed her didn't you Frederick. But you can't fool us you're still a guy there's no changing that. Why don't Owen and I teach a lesson on how to deal with the big boys?" Frank said kicking her in the gut. Owen punched Christine in the face the four of them ended up getting pulled into the principle's office. Christine and Felicia were injured pretty badly Owen and Frank were suspended from school and was kicked off the football team. Christine healed herself with her magic to avoid her parents getting worried she still didn't want to tell her parents about her relationship with Felicia until she was ready. And right now Felicia was not ready to tell any other adult her change in her life.
"Thanks for sticking up for me," Felicia said
"You're my girlfriend. It's a part of my job I would be a terrible girlfriend if I just let that happen to you." Christine said
"Well, best girlfriend you're taking me out this weekend," Felicia said
"Okay, that's fine with me."
Felicia enjoyed that day minus getting beat up but that time she spent with Christine was her favorite moments. Any time she was spending with her girlfriend was always her favorite thing to do. Now all she could do is hope she'll be able to re-live those moments with her.
'Christine…I hope our connection runs deep for you to hear this. Please hurry. I don't know how much I can take of this.' Felicia thought
*Swan-Mills Manor*
While going over ideas of getting Felicia back and going through possible places she's being kept. Christine was sitting in the back of the room with her arms crossed with an angry expression when it hit her. She sat up so quickly looked to her knees as she took a big exhale, eyes wide. It was like she got hit in the gut and had the wind knocked out of her when she heard what she had just heard.
"Christine what's wrong?" Emma asked
"I-I heard Felicia. She sent me a message she wants to be found quickly. Agh!" Christine yelled dropping to the floor holding her chest. Regina ran over to her very quickly placing her head on her lap.
"Christine what's happening?" Regina asked
"I-I don't….ahhhhhh….know!? I'm getting this big rush of pain." Christine yelled squeezing her head.
"How do we make it stop?" Snow asked
"Why is this happening?" David asked
"It's her connection to Felicia. She's feeling her pain every single cut, burn, punch and kick it's all flooding into her. Their love is beyond True Love they are soul mates and they've been connected on a spiritual level." Eclipse explained
"How do you know that?" Belle asked
"Because, I am the soul mate of Christine that is why I am here. I sensed her pain when Felicia was kidnapped and I knew it was my time. I had a vision of this early in the week that's why I have this scar." Eclipse said
"Why aren't you being affected by the pain that Christine's going through?" Ruby asked
"Her pain is of her soul mate's. I cannot feel that pain because I'm not soul mates with Felicia that means we aren't connected that way. Emma, you're soul mates with Ruby she cannot feel your pain if Regina was in pain. Watch." Eclipse said cutting Regina's shoulder with her pocket knife it was so quick no one saw it coming. Regina grabbed her left arm as the blood dripped down her arm. Emma grabbed the same arm wincing as well.
"See, soul mates doesn't always mean you're lovers. It just means someone you have a deep connection to that when they're in pain you feel it too. It's only greatly used by the lovers because you slowly become halves of each other. That's why you are able to make magic babies." Eclipse further explained
"How does a kid your age know so much about True Love?" Emma asked
"I've been well informed by my last soul mate that died. That's why I'm here not to make the same mistake twice." Eclipse said walking over to Christine placing her hand around her wrist as her veins turned black Christine stopped screaming and calm down.
"What did you do?" Regina asked
"I took away her pain….any wolf supernatural can do it. She'll be fine now." Eclipse said
Eclipse walked over to pick up Christine as she placed her on the couch she pulled out something out of her bag. She pulled out a lot of things but when she found what she was looking for Regina grabbed her wrist.
"What are you going to do?" Regina asked
"I know a few things about potions. This will help ease her of the pain she is in. And this one will link our souls together her magic energy can be controlled by me. I will be simulating the same effects of a soul mate that is your lover. However, with my supernatural powers, I can dive into her mind and ease her. This will also work if I were to also die as well. My physical form will no longer exist but my spiritual one will live on inside her." Eclipse said
"So you can help Christine control her magic when she's mad?" Emma asked
"Yes, that is the plan. Right now her magic is going haywire I'm surprised she hasn't lost control yet. With the amount of anger, she has it most be draining for her to keep her magic in check. We need to find Felicia quickly before Killian decides to do more harm to her. I don't want Christine to feel what it's like to be raped and personally, I don't want Felicia to keep enduring that either. Not again…." Eclipse said
"Again what do you mean again?" Belle asked
"I've said too much," Eclipse said
"No, you're going to tell us now. I'm entrusting my daughter's life in your hands. What are you not telling us?" Regina asked
"Ugh….I've relived this moment….you don't remember me because Killian erased me from your memories the same way Emma took away your memories during Camelot. My name is Eclipse Costa but you've known me better than that you saw me as your other daughter. You guys took me in because I had no family and no one wanted to take in a teenager. I've been friends with Felicia and Christine for a long while we nicknamed ourselves The Wayfinders. Everything in this timeline is all sorts of fucked up since I was taken out. Felicia wasn't the one that Killian was supposed to kidnap it was Christine and Felicia was in Christine position. Regina didn't want me and Felicia to go find Killian alone but we were running out of time so we left during the night when everyone was asleep. When we found where Killian was keeping Christine she was barely alive. Felicia had unlocked the chains Christine was in that was when Killian came back, he was not happy. He was screaming "You can't take her away! I need her as fucking leverage!" as a student of Ashley I learned how to control shadows just as she did. I did have the same blood type as her so she gave me some of hers to see if I could control the Kimaru powers too, it worked. While Felicia was getting Christine out I was fighting off Killian he was too strong I couldn't keep up. That was when he capture Felicia and Christine….I tried to stop him but he kicked the shit out of me. "You're going to sit here and watch your best friends die." was what he said to me when he stabbed Felicia and Christine in the heart! I couldn't stop it! I ran over to them to see if I could heal them but it was too late. With the last bit of magic Christine sent me back in time….that was when I learned that I didn't exist in this timeline. My version of Killian made sure that any records or memories of my existence were wiped clean….my soul mates were both Christine and Felicia at the time….and it hurt so much watching them dying in my arms. This is why I'm connecting myself to Christine now….because if I don't do this way then my Christine would have died for nothing!" Eclipse said
"Eclipse….I…," Regina said
"Don't tell Christine I don't know how she'll take it. She may not remember me but she's still the same Christine I know. I love her so much….that I sacrificed my happiness for her. I saw how happy she was dating Frederick and I see how much happier she is with Felicia I couldn't get in between that. So, I settle for being her soulmate. It's not the same but I get to be close to her." Eclipse said stroking Christine's cheek.
"Did your Killian say why he killed them?" Emma asked
"Yes, he did. He said something about getting to you. He said that he was going to kill Brook and Hazel next. Christine didn't want that to happen that's why she sent me back. That's why Brook hates being in this family so much I was supposed to be that bridge. Henry and Christine would hang out with Hazel because she could understand them and I'd be with Brook when they would take Hazel to the park." Eclipse said
"This is unreal. How are we sure you're not lying?" David asked
"That's a fair point. However, you can trust me because I know where the vault is. Yes, I know all about the whole Enchanted Forest thing I know how Regina use to be the Evil Queen. I know all that stuff…." Eclipse said
"Okay….but that doesn't mean anything," Emma said
"My great grandmother Yoru stood up for you Regina," Eclipse said
"She's telling the truth," Regina said
"I knew if I mention my great grandmother you'd believe me," Eclipse said
"Do you think Killian would kill Felicia?" Snow asked
"I honestly don't know. I hope not but hoping isn't good enough. I failed them once I can't do it again." Eclipse said
"Okay, calm down kid," Emma said placing her hand on Eclipse's shoulder.
"I can't calm down! I have been sent back in time where my own two best friends don't even know who I am. I watched helplessly while they died so excuse me if I want to fulfill my task that my Christine has given me." Eclipse said
"You really loved her didn't you?" Regina asked
"Yes, I did. I wanted to be her everything but the universe wasn't in my favor. I couldn't break her up with Felicia though I can't risk my friendship over something like that." Eclipse said
"Ugh….what happened to me?" Christine asked Eclipse quickly pulled herself together to not blow her cover or reveal anything of her timeline.
"You were in great pain I help relieve you of it. Drink this it's a potion that will connect us together. And if I were to die my soul will find it's way into yours and I will become your voice of reason." Eclipse said
"Fuck it what do I have to lose," Christine said drinking the potion. After she downed the potion she felt a lot different she felt lighter like she wasn't holding on to her anger anymore.
"And just like that, I helped you stabilize your magic," Eclipse said
"Why do I have this feeling that I should know you," Christine asked
"I cannot give you an answer for that. My mission is to service you, m'lady." Eclipse said
"If you say so…," Christine said
"I promise you. I will get Felicia back I'll do it even if it cost me my life." Eclipse declared
"I don't doubt that for a second but I don't want you to die for me or Felicia. Just try to stay alive." Christine smiled
"I will, m'lady."
Eclipse had to do everything in her power not to tell Christine everything. She knew that telling the adults of what she's been through would be risky but this timeline was already messed up without her she didn't have much of a choice. She saw how much of a mess the Swan-Mills family has become without her. She truly hated seeing Brook feel like she wasn't part of the family. Regina and Emma did everything they could do for her but they weren't always home and when one of them is at work they had to make sure Hazel was staying out of trouble. Christine would be doing her own thing since she's a senior in high school. Seeing Christine smile like that broke Eclipse's heart, but she had to keep her act going. Let's hope she can get this timeline back on track.
