Chapter4:

Regina POV:

Regina meets Emma outside the meeting.

"Are you ready to tell me what this is about?" Says Emma curiously.

"This spell has three parts. The first is you need to make sure everyone signed in. The witch who cast this spell is most likely not here, or is hiding as someone else. I'll put a barrier spell around this place. Everyone can get out but the person who cast this spell. The problem with that though is if she is hiding as someone else she will still be able to leave. That's where the name signing comes in I will cast a spell on it so the ink the witch signed in will turn green. If she is not here though, we can rule out everyone who signed the sheet. Understand? Says Regina explaining her plan.

"So most likely we will find out nothing?"

"Yes, but we will know that nobody we know cast it for sure."

Emma POV:

Emma wasn't very sure of this plan. It sounded complicated for little results. But she believed in Regina and she guess it would be nice to have a list of all the people in StoryBrooke who didn't do it. She just wanted faster results.

"Ok well we better start"says Emma. They enter. Everyone is loud and chattering. "I'll talk to them to have them focus on me well you do the spell in the back of the room."

"Okay, I'll do the barrier spell you make sure everyone has signed the list" says Regina not wanting to leave anything to chance.

"Got it."

She knows that there are 50 chairs in the room. They are all full. There are 12 people standing on the sides. So there should be 62 signatures.

Emma walks over to the sheet and counts 64 signatures including hers and Regina's. Emma heads to the front.

"Excuse me everyone." Everyone stops what they are doing and stares at her . Emma makes a slight nod at Regina telling her to start the spell.

" I know everyone here is worried and confused that you are missing a year of your lives."

Emma doesn't know where she is going with this. She had nothing planned. " we are putting In all of our efforts to find out what is going on." The crowd is starting to get angry. She needs to calm them down. "Don't worry we will get to the bottom of this. Just please bare with us."

Someone in the crowd yells out "what are we suppose to do tell then?"

" I know there are many questions but for now just continue your daily lives like you would have a year ago." Regina motions to her that she's done. It's now or nothing she thinks. " you may now all go continue your lives like usual. Thanks for your understanding." The upset crowd shuffles out the door. Everyone leaves except Ruby and Belle.

"I assume the green ink spell didn't work."says Emma.

"No" Regina says angrily.

Ruby walks over and says " what was that all about? You had up round up everyone then you tell them to continue there lives and to get out."

"Yeah it seemed like a waist of time to me." Says belle.

"We cast a spell to find out if anyone here did it."says Regina.

"You really need to work in your magic, sis." Says Ruby.

"Excuse me?"

Zelena pops out of Ruby's body.

"You heard me sis. That was a simple spell. Even a beginner could cast it. If you weren't so busy staring at your girlfriend over there you could have cast it."

Regina's POV:

Regina has no idea how to act. First off she wasn't able to cast the spell. Second this Witch keeps calling her sis. What did that mean? And third she hoped Emma didn't hear her say she was staring at her and the fact that this which called Emma her girlfriend. Was it that obvious what she was feeling for this girl. Regina hoped that Emma didn't catch that last part.

She needed the conversation to Focus on the which and not her.

"Who are you and why do you keep calling me sis?

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Zelena your sister your half sister really."

" I don't have a sister. Don't you think I would know if I did."

"Well we don't all get the pleasure of having her parents. Isn't that right Emma. I was given up by Cora when I was a new born and sent to OZ ."

"Why would she give you up?"

"Enough with the questions! Why don't you do some research!" All of a sudden Emma is hit by magic and thrown against the wall.

Regina is pissed now. "Don't touch her!" She yells and hits Zelena with a powerful blast of magic. A sworn of flying monkeys attack her. It takes all of Regina's strength to fight then off.

When there gone from view so is Zelena. "Dammit she's gone." Regina yells then runs over to Emma. She helps Emma up." Are you all right?"

"Yes. I'm fine." Says Emma.

"Wait did she say she was from OZ? And then there were flying monkeys!

Guys! She's the wicked witch if the west!" Says Belle remembering something from a book she read.

All of a sudden everything gets blurry and Regina feels weak. Then she passes out. The last thing she hears is Emma yelling her name.
