Hey guys! I know it's been a while since I post, but I've been super busy. So I might have to post the chapters every other week instead of each week. But heres this week's chapter. I hope you like it.

Enchanted Forest

"So… you're going to ask Snow for help?" Evie asked suspiciously. Maleficent wasn't the type of person who would ask for help, let alone from someone who was considered as a hero.

"You seem surprised," Maleficent said, amused at the young witch.

"I am. I know that you don't like my sister."

"It's not that I don't like her, I just don't agree with her," Maleficent replied nonchalantly.

"Either way, this is odd even for you," Evie crossed her arms, knowing that something was up.

"Let's just say this is a just in case."

"Just in case what?" Evie asked. Ever since that day her mother had come and stole the dark curse Maleficent seemed to be on edge. Evie felt that there was something different about her, but knew better than to ask. Maybe Maleficent was having second thoughts about leaving. Maybe. "You don't believe in me!" Evie was hurt that Maleficent didn't believe in their plan. It was fool proof. All they had to do was get the bean and create the spell. Not that hard.

"Evie it's not that," Maleficent scoffed, "it that these ingredients are hard to get and we might not be able to finish it in time."

"What do we need? Tell me where to go and I will go right now," Evie was determined to get the stuff they need. The sooner the better.

"Evie I don't want you to go by yourself," Maleficent said. She could hear in Maleficent's voice that she was annoying her.

"Then come with me."

"I can't go there."

"Why?" Evie didn't understand. It was the land of the dragons. Maleficent was a dragon. If anything, if she would had gone with Mal, then she should be safe. No one would dare mess with the great and powerful Maleficent. "Mal what is it?" Evie let out a sigh. "I know something is wrong. It's been wrong for a while. I didn't want to say anything cause I know you won't tell me until you want to. Are you sick?" Evie asked. She knew the dragon queen had been unwell for a while. She had heard Maleficent throw up a few days prior, but knew better than to confront her about it. But if she was still sick, then the plan could wait till Maleficent got better.

"Not really," she shook her head and looked away from Evie. "I'm… I'm with child," time stood still as Evie try to understand what Maleficent had just told her.

"What? Whose?" Evie tried to recall a moment when anybody had been by the castle, but none came to mind. How in the world did Maleficent get pregnant?

"Your mother," Evie gave a confused look at the response.

"I don't think that how sex works."

"No it usually doesn't," Maleficent chuckled, "but magic makes the impossible possible."

"So you and my mom… does she know?"

"No," Maleficent turned and face the young girl, "and I would like it if it reminds between us. I have to be the one to tell her… Evie?"

"I can't believe it," she shook her head. "I'm going to be a big sister. I… I never thought I could be. I mean not after-"

"I know," neither women had to say that this was the impossible that became possible. That even after the infertility potion Regina took a few years back that she could get Maleficent pregnant. "But it happened. Now do you understand why I can't go?"

"What if I get someone to go with me?"

"No," Maleficent raised her voice. "Promise me you won't go by yourself," Evie knew Maleficent was worried for not only for her child, but for Evie. She knew she wanted to keep them safe. She wasn't a child anymore and wanted to help, but she knew Mal. She doesn't ask for help unless it was life threating and even then it was rare.

"Okay. But what do you expect me to do?"

"Be patience."

Storybrooke, a few hours earlier

Lily stormed out of the shop, all she wanted to do was go far away from there. How could they? How could they lie to her like that? Morgan was her brother; he should had told her the truth. And Sophia. No Evie. Whatever. She knew the truth this whole time and she didn't tell her. Hell she was planning to keep it a secret. What was it with her family and keeping secrets?

Lily cursed herself for believing that once she was reunited with her mother, they would blast all those who did them wrong and live happily ever after. She was wrong. There was no such thing as a happily ever after. Her family was full of liars and self-righteous witches. She should had left when she had the chance. She should leave. If they want to keep secrets from her and pretend that she doesn't belong, then why would she stay?

"Well look who we have here?" Lily quickly turned around, surprised that the Evil Queen followed her into the forest.

"Leave me alone," she growled and walked away. The Evil Queen was the last person she wanted to see.

"Now why would I do that? You're my daughter. You're in pain," the Evil Queen yelled out. Lily rolled her eyes and faced her.

"I've been your daughter for like what five minutes? I don't need you," Lily spat and continued to walk away. She jumped back as the Evil Queen appeared before her.

"Need or want?" The Evil Queen crossed her arms.

"Go away," Lily shoved the Evil Queen to the side and kept walking. She couldn't understand why she wouldn't take a hint?

"You're like your mother," Lily stopped and gave her a confused look. Was she really comparing herself to Lily? "Maleficent," the Evil Queen clarified. Lily scoffed at that failed attempted of flattery. "That right there is why I loved her. Her fire, her passion," the Evil Queen crept closer to Lily. "So much anger in one person, waiting to come out."

"How long have you known?" Lily crossed her arms.

"Since the moment Regina knew." Great she knew for a long time and neglected to tell her. "Lily I wanted to tell you, but Maleficent wouldn't let me. She put wards form letting me see you."

"But you came last night."

"Only because Regina was there. I wanted to tell you," the Evil Queen gently placed a hand on her upper arm. "You may think I'm lying, but I'm not good when it comes to love. I screwed up when it came to Evie and Henry, I don't want to mess up with you," Lily almost stumbled back as she could hear the sincerity in the Evil Queen's voice.

"Well you did. Thanks for screwing up my life," she shrugged the hand off of her. "You just had to enact the Dark Curse. You really couldn't let it go."

"Like you can? Can you honestly tell me that you forgave Snow White for what she did to you?" Touché. But Lily wasn't going to admit that. And besides their situation was different. Regina had her mother to help her through the pain. As for Lily, she was all alone for the past thirty years. "What if I can help you?"

"Unless you can go back in time, doubt it."

"What if you don't have to be hardwire for bad choices? What if I can get rid of that extra darkness?"

"How?" Lily asked, interested on what the Evil Queen had to say.

"I think I found a way involving blood magic," Was she serious? If that was the case her mother could had help her. Something didn't add up. "All of this, I've done for you. I want to make it right. But something is blocking. Someone. Evie. I need her to help you. I can't get into her shop. She won't listen to me."

"Can you blame her?"

"No," the Evil Queen shamefully shook her head. "Lily I'm not some monster Maleficent or Regina made me out to be. I love my children. I know I messed up, but let me make it right. I want to start with you," there it was again. That sincerity look. Lily may have not have Emma's superpower to know if someone was lying, but Lily knew the Evil Queen wasn't. She was like her, hurt and screwed up. Maybe it didn't have to be like this. What if she was right? What if she didn't have to be drawn to bad decisions? What if she could be good?

"What are you going to do with Evie?"

"I'm going to get her to help us, whether she likes it or not. Then I'm going to fix my relationship with the both of you. I missed thirty years from both of you, I don't want to miss anymore. And I will make it right. Starting with the Charmings. How would you like to get your revenge?" The Evil Queen grinned.

"How? Wouldn't Evie be pissed off at us?"

"Just leave it to me," the Evil Queen wrapped an arm around Lily's shoulders.

Enchanted Forest

Patience was something Evie was not. She and her mother were the same when it came to that idea. She had to do something while Maleficent asked Snow for help. She had to see him. There were rumors that her mother had brought back her grandfather back from Wonderland. Evie knew it could be a trap, but she had to know. So when Maleficent left, Evie ventured back to her mother's kingdom. It was a dumb, crazy, idea, and no doubt Maleficent would be upset with her if she knew what she was doing, but Evie had to know.

Evie reached her mother's castled a little after dusk. She looked up at the crescent moon as if it were smiling down at her. She jumped off of Torin and tied him near a lake and continued her journey. She circled the castle until she saw a familiar apple tree. Evie silently climbed the tree, grateful that her mother did not allow the guards to be posted near her prized tree. She quietly crept to the tree and climbed it. And there she waited, covered by the night and leaves. She knew that it was a bad idea to wait in the tree. Her mother would often visit it, but her grandfather did as well. This was the only place she could talk to him where she was less likely get caught. Less likely, but she could get caught.

She lost track of time as her mind wondered back to Maleficent and what she had told her. She was pregnant. Evie was happy for her and her mom. Maybe this baby would be a chance for her mother to change. Maybe she could be the mother she knew as a child. Loving, caring, good. Unconsciously, Evie wrapped her hand around the necklace her mother gave her as a child. The last piece of her childhood, the only connection to her past. Every time she saw it, she felt it, it would remind her of a time when her mother was good. When her father was alive. When she was truly happy.

She remained quiet as her grandfather approached the tree. God, she missed him so much. He hadn't aged since he was taken. Evie, on the other hand, had.

"Whose there?" her grandfather question as the leaves started to shake. Evie landed on her feet, no longer able to hide her presence.

"Grandfather," Evie's voice was shaky as she laid eyes on him. Her grandfather rushed to her side and hugged her so tightly. Evie returned the hug, never wanting to let him go. "I missed you."

"I missed you too Evita," her grandfather pulled away from her and admired the woman she was. "You've grown so much," he said full of pride.

"Just a little," Evie chuckled. His face dropped and fear overcame the elderly man.

"What are you doing here? If your mother finds out-"

"I know," she stopped him. "And I know it is dangerous to come here but I needed to see you."

"Evita I miss you, but I don't want you to get in trouble. You're lucky your mother isn't here."

"Where is she?" She was lucky, Evie could only imagine what could happen if her mother knew she was there. "Grandfather?" She asked again.

"She wants to enact a curse. She believes that it will get her what she always wanted-"

"The dark curse," Evie knew what he was talking about.

"You know about it?"

"I do. And that's why I'm here. I want to stop her. I know you told me not to use magic on my mom, but I think there's a way to stop her," Evie continued to explain her plan. She told him about the forgetting spell and the potion that would make them immune. She told him how she wanted them to leave to a new world so they could start over. "Grandfather she is out of control and I can't see another way to stop her. But I need your help. I know you love mom but-"

"I'll do it," he said without hesitation.

"What?" Evie asked, surprised that he would help her so easily.

"I failed your mother once, I won't fail her again or you. Just tell me what you need."

"Her hair. I need it for the spell."

"All right. Go hid in the tree and I will be back," Henry hurried back into the castle as Evie began to climbed the tree. There she hid, but not for long. Her grandfather quickly came back with Regina's hairbrush. Evie took the hair and placed it into her satchel. She hugged her grandfather one last time before promising to come back with the potion. For that night when they took the potion would be the night they would leave this land and begin their life anew.

Storybrooke- Present time

Lily couldn't believe her mother. Not the Evil Queen or Regina, but Maleficent. She asked Snow White and Emma to help look for her. She wasn't a child; she could take care of herself. And even if she was in trouble, the last person who should help her was Snow White and Prince Charming. Either way, this worked out in her favor. The Evil Queen and her talked. Apparently she wanted to help Lily by transferring the darkness back into Emma. But it had to be willingly. The Evil Queen and Lily knew Emma was the Dark One recently and would have no desire to have darkness inside her. So they had to be creative.

Lily smirked as the group decided to split up to look for her. Now was her chance. Once the others were gone, she could take her. Like a cat hunting its prey, Lily hid in the shadows and followed her. She had to wait until she was far enough that the others wouldn't notice her missing until it was too late. Lily wrapped her hands around the closed vial. She only had one chance to get it right or else she would mess up the plan. No way would she get a chance like this again.

The two continued to walk away from town and towards the woods. Once she was in the woods, Lily would attack. She would feel no remorse for her unlike she did for Evie. True, Lily could see that her sister was sorry, but it had to be done. Evie wouldn't work with the Evil Queen. Lily could see that she was scared of her. Not that Lily could blame her, but it had to be done. She hated how her life had been. How she was separated from her family and how her life had been one decision after another. But no more. This was the right decision and once it was over Lily would talk to Evie.

It was time. She was deep enough in the woods that no one will know that she was taken until it was too late. Lily silently crept behind her as she stood there oblivious of her presence. Slowly Lily took out the vial and uncorked it. Evie did have everything in her shop, including poppy dust. Lily stood a few feet behind her. She wanted to scoff on how dense this woman was, but remained silent. She poured the dust into her hand.

"Hey," Lily yelled out. Snow quickly turned around, shocked that Lily was there. Lily didn't give her a chance to react as she blew the dust into her face. Snow fell to the ground as the dust hit her face. She deserved it, Lily thought. Lily closed her eyes and used her magic for her and Snow to appear in front of Evie and the Evil Queen.
