… the two sisters had their argument
Not enough confident to trust you.
Zelena looked at her belly, and smiled. Now, it was more and more visible. Four months. She was pregnant since that time, and felt truly happy.
It was a beautiful day, Zelena saw it by looking at the outside. The witch was now at Regina's home, where she lived since the day she went out of her cellar.
The cohabitation was good, and the two sisters succeeded to talk to each other, as they first did days ago.
Things were calm in town, Belle was forgiving Gold, and Hades was more and more accepted in Storybrooke.
Everything was perfect.
Almost.
And Zelena would soon discover all the things that were hidden in this little "almost".
§§§§
Some hours after that, Regina came back at their home, after she came out to see Robin and Roland.
"Hey", Zelena said.
It was still uneasy for them to talk normally to each other, but things were better now.
At first, it had been harsh to talk. Zelena did the first step, after Regina let her free.
But they were both now going on a long walk.
"Hey, Regina answered.
- I wanted to ask you something.
- I'm listening."
If Zelena lived there, it was first for practical reasons. The witch still couldn't be left alone, and she needed someone to look at her.
But now, as things were more calm between them, Zelena decided to ask something to her sister.
"I want you to let me go out."
Regina started, surprised. Well… she didn't expect that.
"No.
- What ? Why ?
- Zelena, I… I can't let you leave the house.
- And… you won't tell me your reasons, right ?
Regina sighed.
- Listen, Zelena… people don't love you. You're a villain. In town, most of the people fear you.
- I did nothing wicked, or evil since, since…
- Since you came back in town ? That's because you're powerless ! You can do anything to anyone.
- That's why you should let me go. And I changed !
- No, you didn't Zelena. You're changing, you're redeeming yourself, that's true, but… this is not enough.
- What about you ? You were a villain before.
- Yes, but the difference is that people accepted me. When I suggested to free you, people didn't agree with that."
A silence settled between the two women. Apparently, the conversation they had before hadn't been enough to make their relationship stronger.
"It has nothing to do with their opinion, right ? Zelena demanded. You let me free despite what people thought. So why ?
Regina didn't answer.
- Tell me Regina, why don't you want to let me go ?
- Because I don't trust you ! Regina finally screamed with anger.
Zelena looked at her sister, seeming shocked and hurt.
- What ?
- I think that I'm not enough confident to trust you", Regina confessed.
Zelena should have understood. Except that it was Zelena, and she didn't take it goodly.
"Why not ?
- You tried to kill me ! I'm trying to do it, to have faith in you, but… it's hard for me.
- You're the only family I still have Regina, and I know that I made mistakes, but… so did you.
Regina looked at her, angry.
- Oh no ! Don't compare what I did to what you did. I just tried to erase your life, and I would have hurt no one except you. You tried to erase me, my existence and change the history. Our story. It's completely different.
- Hades is accepted, and he is the god of the Underworld. Why should it be different for me ?
- He helped us, you didn't.
- You didn't let me do it !
- You would have helped us ?
- Maybe… maybe not, I don't know. We will never know.
- Zelena, people think you're still dangerous, and… I quite agree with them.
- I don't have my magic ! How could I be dangerous !
- And trust me, I'm not giving it back to you. Not now. The discussion is over Zelena, I'm not letting you go."
Zelena tried to protest, to say something, but Regina wasn't ready to listen. She wanted to hurt her sister, as this last one did by not trusting her, despite her efforts. Then she found, and without really thinking about it, she talked.
"You know what ? She asked. I wish you stayed dead, as you were in the rewritten story !"
A great and heavy silence was now between them. The second after she said those words, Zelena immediately regretted them. Especially by seeing how hurt and sad Regina seemed to be. But it was too late.
Their relationship was new and they were still building it.
They just needed a little thing to destroy it.
It was the thing.
"Regina, I… Zelena apologized, I didn't intend to say it. I'm.. I'm sorry."
The former evil queen looked at her with both sadness and anger.
More with anger.
"Go, she said with a cold tone, showing her the door with her hand.
- Regina… Zelena tried again.
- Just… GO !
- I thought you didn't want me to go."
Regina didn't listen to this try of humor.
"Go, now, she repeated, go and find your dear god and stay with him."
Understanding she couldn't stay now after what she said, the witch left.
Then, Regina sat down on a chair, and took her head in her hands, a tear falling along her cheek.
Everything was destroyed now, or seemed to be.
What have they done ?
