Hey guys! Happy Monday. I hope you like this chapter. Its a little shorter, but still have so much going on.

Enchanted Forest

Regina walked closer to where her daughter's body laid. Despite what Maleficent had told her the night before, Regina truly believed that she had lost Evie. Maleficent didn't see the way her daughter looked at her. Lost. Hurt. Defeat. Regina couldn't believe she caused her little girl all that pain, she didn't mean to. She wanted Daniel's murder to pay. And she did. Snow was under the sleeping curse; her body was her tomb with no way to be with her Prince Charming. But was the cost worth it? Was Evie the price for Daniel's revenge? No. Her daughter was innocent. Evie shouldn't have to pay the price.

But here she was, lying in her family's vault. Regina looked through every book she owned to see if there was another way to break the curse without true love kiss. No such luck. Regina didn't want to go to Rumpelstiltskin for help, but at this rate she would have to. Regina would do anything to wake her daughter from this curse. She would pay any price.

Regina went into her family's vault, her eyes never leaving her little girl. She looked so peaceful. Almost if she was sleeping and not under a curse. Regina walked to her daughter and placed a single red rose on top of the sleeping girl. She lightly creased the girl's forehead. Regina didn't pull her hand away from the ice cold skin. She just thought about a life if Daniel was still alive, then her daughter wouldn't be in this state. She would be happy, free to love who she wanted.

The queen froze as she heard cracking. She looked around for the source, but could not find it. She let out a gasp and quickly moved her hand away from Evie. There, was a giant crack running from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet, as if she was made out of glass. Regina attempt to touched the girl was in vain. The girl crumpled into millions of piece, nothing remained.

Regina tried to put her daughter together, but she was confused. She didn't know what the hell happened. One moment Evie was fine, as fine as someone could be under the sleeping curse. Then she just broke. Regina didn't understand at all. This had to be a trick.

Regina quickly left the room as she tried to find answers. Her first idea was to go to Rumpelstiltskin, he had to know what was going on. Before she was able to transport herself to her former teacher, Regina collided against something, or someone. She looked up and was shocked. Rumple's servant, Belle was it, was trying to escape with the help of one of her servant. The two tried to get up quickly and escape, but Regina was faster. She used her magic to freeze both women in place. Regina yelled for her guards. The three of them were surrounded by Regina's finest men. As Regina got closer to the two, she knew who this servant was. It was her daughter's personal handmaid. What a foolish girl. Trying to abide criminals was sentence to death and this girl was no exception.

Belle yelled as Regina plunged her hand into the servant's chest. She squeezed the heart and yanked it from the girl's chest. The servant cried out as her heart was removed from her body. Not thinking straight and did not ask if she knew anything about Evie or what happened in the vault, the queen squeezed the heart as hard as she could. She wanted this girl to feel the pain she was feeling. The girl's screaming finally stopped as she fell to the ground. The queen opened her hand to reveal dust. The girl was dead.

"Take her back to her tower," Regina ordered her guards. She could still hear Rumple's pet crying over the loss of the servant as her men did as they were told. Regina didn't have time to regret her decision, she had to see Rumple. Closing her eyes, Regina teleported to her former teacher's castle.

Storybrooke

The Evil Queen stood in the middle of the road on the busiest streets in town. There was no one in sight as the town clock stroked midnight. She opened her palm to reviled Evie's necklace. A lone tear fell down the Evil Queen's face. The one thing that she and Regina had in common was the regret for their first born. Regret for not giving her the life she deserved. Regret for not getting her revenge for Daniel's death. Regret for killing her child. All Evie wanted to do was save her. But the thing was that the Evil Queen didn't want to be saved. She loved herself the way she was and didn't want to change. She only wished her daughter would had felt the same way. Hopefully with Lily it would be different, if everything went according to plan. And it looked like it was. Lily didn't trust Regina or Maleficent. Now she had to get Lily to see her side, then maybe this could work. Maybe she could get everything her children deserved.

The Evil Queen waved her hand over the necklace and it began to rise. The Evil Queen's heart soared as the necklace moved away from her and towards her daughter. Soon, she would be reunited with her daughter. Soon, she will get everything she wanted.

Enchanted Forest

Regina stormed the castle as she called out his name. She had no time for games, Regina need to know what had happened to her daughter. She started to think that she should had went to Maleficent since she was the one who gave her this curse. She would know more about it. Before Regina had a chance to consider to leave, she heard a giggle behind her. Regina whips her head behind her to see Rumple sitting in a chair, sipping tea, and waving hello.

"Tell me what the hell happened," she demanded.

"I'm sorry you need to be more specific," Rumple waved his hand and his cup was gone.

"What happened to my daughter?" Regina had half a mind to leave this place and go to Maleficent. She was getting nowhere with this man and she needed answers.

"Ah," he snapped his fingers. "I heard what happened to your daughter," he jumped off from his seat and did a bow that was overly dramatic, "my condolences."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing dearie," he stood up and stared circling Regina as if he was a hawk and she was a prey. "Just that your daughter could do the one thing you couldn't."

"What's that?" She asked. Rumple stopped behind the queen and leaned towards her ear.

"Leave," he moved and started to walk away from the queen.

"What do you mean?" Regina was frustrated. Did he mean that her daughter was that unhappy that she would eat the poison apple to be far away from her? No, not Evie. She would never do that would she?

Rumple turned to face her. "Your daughter wasn't that stupid to eat the apple," he emphasized on the word that, implying that Evie was stupid. Normally Regina would argue against that, but let him continue. "No she knew what would happen."

"You're not making any sense. I saw her eat the apple," this made Rumple grin. It made Regina uneasy how that man could literally grin from ear to ear.

"No, you saw her eat an apple. Not the apple," he put strain on the words an and the. Regina's heart began to sink as she realized what he was saying. Evie didn't eat the poison apple, but an apple. She was okay. She wasn't under the sleeping curse. Evie lied to her. "Face it dearie," Rumple he giggled, "she tricked you."

"No. No she would never do that," It couldn't be true. Her only child would never deceive her. Her mother, Snow, even Rumpelstiltskin Regina believed had the capacity to deceive her, but never her daughter.

"I'm afraid so. She tricked you and left you all alone," he giggled once more as he enjoyed her pain. "Like mother like daughter I would say."

"Why would she do this?" Regina asked, stunned that her daughter could and did do this.

"It's simple. She doesn't love you," he said bluntly. No it couldn't be true. Her daughter loved her, didn't she? "Where you going?" Regina had to get out of there. If it was true, there was one place Evie would go.

Storybrooke

The Evil Queen followed the necklace down the road. She couldn't believe it. Evie was here in this town alive. How couldn't she see it? Was she so blind? Had she been here this entire time and why didn't she say anything?

She stopped. No this had to be the wrong place. The spell must be wrong. But it wasn't. The necklace flew to the second story window. Even though she had never been to this shop, the Evil Queen knew of the owner of the shop. It was that inferior witch that told Lily not to listen to her. That fool, she had her daughter in that shop the Evil Queen would do anything in her power to get what was her.

The necklace tapped on the top window before it was opened by the owner. Sophia wasn't it? Time stopped as the necklace fell into Sophia's hand. The Evil Queen couldn't breathe. No. it couldn't be. It wasn't true. This girl was Evie. Her Evie. She had been hiding in plain sight as someone else.

Time seemed to stop as their eyes locked. Fear could be seen in her Evie's eyes as she was caught. Quickly, Sophia, no Evie, closed the window, closed the curtain and turned off the lights. Pain would have had pang in the Evil Queen's heart if she still had one. Her daughter did not want to see her. No matter, Evie will see her soon whether she wanted to or not.

For those of you who had read any of my other stories, everything has a reason, including name. For me, the only person I can see playing my Evie is Sophia Carson, minus the blue wig she wears on Descendants. See the connection... Everything has a purpose there's no just because. But seriously tell me what you think? How many of you saw this coming? How many of you thought Evie was alive? And how do you thing everyone else will react if they knew the truth? Tell me what you think in the box below and if you haven't favorite and follow this story and I will see you next week.
