Thanks Snorbie for reading and reviewing! Too bad, those two aren't dead, yet.

If this nun could heal me, maybe she could help me. I chased after her and right outside the apartment, I spoke, in my cat's body, "Excuse me, Mother Superior."

She turned around, looking a little surprised. Yes, I am a speaking cat.

"I am wondering if you can help me," I returned my form as a human, more accurately, a naked woman.

She exclaimed.

I did not want to mess up people's mind by showing them my naked body. Turning back as a cat, I returned to Regina's bedside. Regina was still resting. Such beauty.

"Millie," She sleep-talked and subconsciously pet my head. I felt like she was having a light fever. SnowWhite got a towel and started cleaning Regina's sweat. She opened her eyes, "You… you saved me?"

"Yes," SnowWhite replied. David added, "You really think we'd let you die?" Liar. I defeated the two kidnappers. "Despite our differences, we're family."

"Where are they? Where are Greg and Tamara?" Regina asked.

"They did this to you?" David asked. Regina nodded. He looked at SnowWhite, confirming their earlier prediction.

"They are in the hospital. They lost a lot of blood. Something hurt them bad, a bite of a large animal. We didn't know what it was," He said. It was me.

"Do they still have it?" She asked.

"Still have what?" David replied with another question, "The magic beans?"

"I need to go to the hospital," Regina said, "I need to get it back." She tried to push herself up, but fell back to the bed.

"Wait until you get better. They are not going anywhere. Emma just called and told me they are in a comatose stage," He said.

Regina subconsciously rubbed my head and looked at me. It felt like she knew it was me, "Whose cat is this?"

"We don't know. We found it in the cannery. It's been guarding you since. We suspected it being the one that attack Greg and Tamara, but it was too small," SnowWhite said.

I yawned and stretched. Should I show my panther self? No. "Millie, is this you?" Regina asked, "You fought off Greg and Tamara?"

"Yes," I spoke again in my cat self. SnowWhite and David backed off two steps, "I promised to come by your house every night like a neighborhood stray cat, remember? I didn't see you in your house when I brought you the painting, so I went looking for you." Regina smiled.

"What is this thing?" David asked, "Is this some kind of black magic?"

"Think of me as a talking cat in Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," I recalled watching the show as a child in my curse memory.

"Regina, did you put a spell in this poor woman and turn her into a cat?" SnowWhite asked.

"Of course not," I turned myself into the panther stage again. They stepped back again. "I can change my form. I am cursed, but not by Regina." I changed to my human form, quickly grabbed a quilt to cover my body.

"What the devil?" David exclaimed.

Regina spoke in her weak voice to the couple, "Educate yourselves, morons. A female vampire can transform herself into any cat creature."

"A vampire? In board daylight?" SnowWhite asked.

"Well, I sold something to Mr. Gold and he gave me something to put on my skin," Did I really need to explain everything? I thought they had more important things to do, like going to the hospital? "So, should we go see Greg and Tamara? It seems that they took something important from Regina." Those were the names, right?

SnowWhite passed me something to wear. Regina put on her boots and was ready to go. We got on David's trunk and drove to the hospital.

"You know, Henry never mentioned you have a pet," SnowWhite asked, "Millie, I have never seen you around here. So, how did you two meet?"

I quickly scanned Regina. It seemed like she was too tired to answer, so I joked, "Regina ran me over with her car. Before I turned into roadkill, she took me home and took care of me. She fed me, so now I am her pet." Well, it was partly true.

"Oh," SnowWhite and her husband were mildly disturbed by my answer.

Soon, we were there. We hurried to their beds. Those two were still in a coma. Regina searched their bags and clothes' pockets. She found her wallet and keys, their personal belongings and the beans.

"It's not here," Regina said.

"What is not here?" SnowWhite asked.

"The trigger," She replied.

"The trigger?" David asked again.

"That will destroy Storybrooke. I had a fail-safe built into the curse," Regina said.

"Why exactly were you carrying it around?" "She was gonna destroy us, Mary Margaret."

She replied, "I was going to use the beans to take Henry back to the Enchanted Forest."

"And in the process, kill all of us," SnowWhite couldn't believe her ears.

"You wanna discuss justification? You were going to abandon me," Regina said in a threatening tone, "Or shall we discuss the more pressing issue? Which is that I no longer control the trigger."

"We have to return to the cannery and find the trigger," Regina said.

"It is not in the cannery. I had Leroy searched the place before they took these two to the hospital," David said.

"Mom!" Henry ran towards the group, followed by the blond. He hugged Regina.

"Henry," They embraced each other, "I missed you."

"Emma, how is Neal?" SnowWhite asked.

"He is stabilized now. Mr. Gold is with him," Emma replied. If the Blue Fairy could heal Regina and me, couldn't she just heal Neal that instance?

"Why are you guys in the hospital?" Emma asked.

"Greg and Tamara took Regina's trigger to destroy Storybrooke. We are trying to find it," SnowWhite responded.

"Can we just ask them?" Emma asked.

"We can't. Thanks to Regina's pet," David pointed at me. It was not my fault, really. "They are in a coma. Dr. Whale said he didn't know when they would wake up."

"Regina's pet?" Emma asked.

I pretended to be interested in the subject, "Hi, I am Millie. I was the black panther that knocked these two out." Emma, David and SnowWhite gave me the look like I was interrupting, "Hey, I did save Neal!"

"So, what should we do now?" David asked, "Wait for them to wake up?"

"Not exactly," I added, "I can make them speak the truth."

= End of Chapter 2 =

Ya, I notice how bad this branch of the story really is... I am hoping to end this as soon as possible.
