"We're outnumbered Gina, we can't defeat them."

She looks at me, and I can see in her eyes that she knows, but it's too late to turn back now. Not when she's prepared her whole army.

"We'll make it. We are the two most powerful sorceresses participating in this battle, how could they defeat us?!"

She slammed her fist on the table, and a few of the officers jump in surprise, but I don't. She's been like this for a while now, and even though I understand her pain and anger, and I won't ever stop helping her, it still hurts to see her when she is in a state like this. So we go to battle. And I hope that Regina and I are strong enough to kill enough men, or we'll all be captured and executed by the pigs, as we like to call them. Prince and Princess Pig. How hilariously accurate.

So we leave. And hope for the best.

I am surrounded. From every side soldiers come charging in. I try to hit everyone of them, but my magic is drained. Not far away Regina us doing the same.

"Fuck this shit." I clench my teeth together, preparing for another blow when I hear something fluttering behind me. Fairies, those bastards! I spin around as quickly as I can, but it's too late. A cloud of glittering fairy dust falls down, and I suddenly can't move. I can't do anything. Panic spreads through my body.

"What's this?!" I discover that all but my face us frozen. The fairy sores down, not answering me and with a wave of her hand I disappear and reappear deeper into the woods.

"Lady of Maren, you are being captured on behalf of Snow White and Prince Charming, due to crimes against the White Kingdom. I glance at her with rage-filled eyes, spit out one sentence.

"Death will find you."

Now

"No way." Her horrified whisper makes my hair stand up straight. We are dry by now, and wearing clothes. I offered her a drink, and she took it.

"This is not the end of it you know. They kept me for a very long time."

"How could I have let this happen? I remember that battle, but I don't remember any of this!" Her eyes are wild, and filling up with tears, and I place my hand on her lap to comfort her.

"You were barely holding up your own, so it's no wonder you didn't notice. It is not your fault Regina. Shall I continue?"

"Yes please." I don't need to read her mind to see what she is thinking. This will have consequences for her friendship with Snow and Charming.

"One question though. If Snow and Charming captured you, how come they don't remember your face?" I had done a lot evil in this world, but I never showed anyone my face. Everybody knew of me, but nobody knew me. So this was the first time anyone of my enemies had gazed upon my looks, and I hated it. I put a finger in front of my mouth to silence her, and continue.

Past

This cell stinks. The first thing that comes to my mind when I open my eyes. They must have knocked me out. It is dark, but I have no problems with it. What does bother me, is that I am not alone.

"Show yourself, little imp." A childish laugh comes from across the cell.

"Didn't expect to see you here, dearie.

"Please stop lying. You can see the future, of course you were expecting me."

"I suppose that's true."

I shake my head lightly and look at my surroundings. Shit, this is that magic proof cell! I try to summon something, anything, but no luck. All my powers are completely shut down. Great, now everything is gonna go to shit.

"No way?"

"It's impossible. I tried everything." I lower my head in defeat. My golden brown hair is still in the complicated braid Regina made, but far not as pretty anymore. My battle armour, consisting of leather pants, a tight corset and metal around my shoulders, arms and stomach, is still on me. Not that it is of any use. The armour had been protected from injuries, and an extra storage of magic, but that too is useless.

"So you lost? I mean, if you are here, then I can only assume the rest of you plan failed." I glance hatefully at him. "I don't see everything dearie, only things I am involved in."

I sigh. "I don't know, they took me before the battle was over." Once again I try to reach out, but the cage blocks me from feeling something. I let out a scream, and dig my nails into my hand palms to keep my from hitting the jail bars with bare hands. Then I hear footsteps.

"You've finally awoken then?" Snow White comes walking up to me in an incredibly white dress, it almost blinds me, and her hair like always a bird nest of something. She for sure ain't got style. And did she wait the entire time there or something? It has been like three minutes!

Against my will I ask her something I need to know. "How long have I been out?" "For two days, minimum. That fairy had some weird effect on you."

Two days. Regina was without me for two days. She can't even last one hour without my comforting company. I stare at snow with horrified and then blazing eyes.

"Do you even know what you've done! If Regina kills herself, it is going to be your fault!" I keep screaming between my sobs through, and tears are streaming of my face.

"What do you mean?" Now even Snow looks startled.

"Regina has been depressive for months, years! She came to me for help, because life was drowning her in her own sorrow and misery. Have you ever thought about that, Princess?" But the idiot can't face me anymore. She walks away, hiding her tears, and her charming husband comes and opens the cage, before injecting me quickly with some kind of magical substance. I feel magic leaving me, and consciousness as well.
