Chapter 8
Regina watched in grim satisfaction as Emma's yellow bug drove down the street, towards the Storybrooke exit. It was something she'd been wanting for ages. Now, she'd finally have her son back.
She couldn't understand why Henry was so attached to Emma. Yes, she was his birth mother but so what? Emma wasn't the one who'd changed his diapers, cared for him every time he was sick, and given him everything he'd ever wanted. She'd given him up for adoption, for heaven's sake. Didn't that count for anything?
But no worries. Now that she was gone, her life would go back exactly the way it was supposed to be. After all, she was Regina. The (evil) queen. She held Storybrooke in the palm of her hand. Even though the curse was broken, she knew that everyone still feared her, based on the looks they cast at her house. Yes, she'd been lying low for the past several weeks. After Rumple brought magic back, she needed to practice using it again. It'd been so long and she was so rusty.
But not anymore. She had regained full control of her powers, and it was time to let everyone know who the boss was around here.
And the first thing she was gonna do was take revenge. Regina knew that Emma would be back. She'd developed such a strong connection with Henry; she wouldn't be able to stay away for long. And when she did come back, Regina would make damn well sure that Emma Swan paid for all the damage she'd caused.
Author's note: Yes, I do realize that this chapter is way short. But get over it. I have college apps to work on.
