Heeelloo! I know you had to wait very long, but I finally did it! Here's a new chapter! But please, I would really be happy if you would leave me a review so that I know what is good and what could be better. For the last chapter weren't a many reviews as for the ones before. Okay, here you go! And I promise the next chapter will have a bit more Outlaw Queen than this one, but I found Elsa's story needed to be explained (or at least my story for her :) )
As the day went by nobody had seen Regina for more than ten minutes outside her house. She didn't wanted to see anyone, especially Emma. She knew that it wasn't her fault, that she just wanted to do what's right. But that didn't help her now. The only thing that made her feel better, even though it's just a little bit, was that she knew he would be happy. But this didn't mean that she needed to see the happy family constantly. So she hid. The only two persons that she let in were the Ice Queen and the green fairy. Last one rushed to her instantly when she heard about the news.
So the three of them sat on the Queen's sofa, watched movies and ate ice cream which Elsa made in all creations they have liked. Regina was glad that she had those two as her friends. They talked and talked until they had nothing to say. They cried and cried until no tear could form in their eyes anymore. And they ate Elsa's ice cream until they were so full that they could barely move.
And of course, they found the alcohol.
So their evenings usually ended up with them giggling from the wine, crying from the pain they have lived through and talking about god and the world.
But this evening was different. Elsa was somehow more quiet than usually. She didn't ate much of the ice, but drank more of the wine. The other two of them exchanged looks and then sat next to her. Each one at one side.
"Elsa? What's wrong, hun?" The fairy asked concerned. "It's... It's nothing," she lied."It's never nothing," Regina stated.
"Come on, tell us," Tink said.
She looked unsure between the two women. She didn't wanted them to think bad of her.
"I... don't think that..."
"Elsa, please. You can talk to us! We won't judge you," Tink promised. The blonde nodded slightly.
"Today's my sister's birthday..." she muttered, her head hanging low.
"Oh..." The other two muttered in unison.
"It's just... I miss her. I miss all the times we had. The last time we were purely happy was on her birthday. The day after the accident happened," she mumbled.
"What happened after that?" Regina asked, giving her a comforting smile. In that moment she again realized what a luck she had by meeting the two who care as much about her as she does about them. She knew that it would only be fair to tell them.
"I hid. The kind and queen tried their best for the both of us, even though closing the gates of the castle was probably not the best idea. But they meant well. They tried their best. Well, the best they could when discovering that one of the girls they have welcomed into their family has magical powers," she said, but was interrupted by the green fairy.
"They... weren't your real parents? What happened before? How did they found you two?"
"We lived with our mother in Sherwood Forest. But actually she didn't wanted us. One day the three of us went deep into the forest. I don't even remember why. I just know that Ana and I got lost. We walked for days until we finally had reached a small marketplace. We tried to get something to eat, but got caught. The owner wanted to punish us, but a woman approached us and payed for our two apples. She noticed how hungry we must have been and invited us for dinner. We followed her and were shocked when we entered the castle," she continued.
"It was the queen!" Regina breathed. Elsa nodded with a smile.
"When we sat on the dinner table, we almost ate everything that found its way on our plates while answering the king about our origin. After the dinner he and the queen talked about us, asking a few moments later if we want to stay with them. We nodded overwhelmed and hugged them happily," Elsa recounted. Breathing deeply she tried to prepare herself for the next part which was going to be the hardest to talk about. It was all full of loneliness, anger and fear. All those years she tried to conceal, not to feel. Not to let anyone else know how she felt. Alone, even while standing in a crowd of people. Suddenly she felt two hands on her shoulders, realizing they belong to the fairy and the queen who already had a place in her heart. Another moment passing, she used to concentrate on her past while hoping that the pain will go away or at least weaken after she had told them about what had happened.
"After the accident I decided to hide. I was so afraid that I could hurt Ana again that I locked myself in my room, avoiding her completely. And then, one day our parents were going on a trip to another kingdom. But... their ship.. it... it got into a heavy storm, sinking with them," she said quietly, blinking away a little tear which had dared to appear in her eyes. Tink gave her a tissue while Regina gently rubbed over her back. Elsa could just smile about the fact that her friends were so caring. She only knew this from her sister and her parents, the king and queen.
"The weeks went by and one day we had an enormous fight. She was tired of me pushing her away, even though she didn't knew that I just did that for her own safety. We came to the point where one word could decide everything and eventually, she left. She left because she couldn't handle my.. coldness anymore. If she knew how right she actually was... We haven't seen each other until my coronation. Of course I had invited her and when she arrived I found out that she had returned to our mother who had two other daughters by then. She hadn't been interested where Ana had been or where I was until she found out that I will be queen. I was afraid of seeing my baby sister again after all this time, but when we actually met we just talked and laughed. She told me everything that had happened in the past years and how mean our mother still was. But then she introduced me to a young man she had fallen in love with. His name was Will and they had planned to run away from my mother. I didn't really got the part with that strange mirror, but I was happy for her. She had found someone who could made her happy and that's all I wished for."
"But if everything went good, why did you freeze your kingdom?" Tinkerbell asked curios.
"Well... because of my mother," she said, feeling sick to her stomach when thinking about this woman so that she again needed another moment to calm down.
"After Ana and Will have left, she wanted to visit me. She begged to me let her and her daughters live with me in the castle, but I told her that I have to think about it. But she just freaked out, because I didn't immediately said yes to it. She called me a disgrace of a daughter and that even Anastasia had run away from me. That she even got back although she hated her. I couldn't control myself, threw my hands up in the air and a wall out of ice just rose between us. She stared at me, surprised and terrified. The next thing she did was running away, screaming what a monster I was. I ran after her, but when I got outside, everything was frozen an I just realized that I was the one responsible for it."
"It was because of your mother... Your emotions took over and your magic froze everything." Regina concluded.
"It's not that I wanted to freeze everything! It just.. happened. People came to my castle, pleading me to unfreezing Arendale. But I didn't knew how! I read every single book in our library, but found no help until one day I found something about an imp called Rumplestiltskin," she explained, causing Tink ans Regina to chuckle a bit as she just called the Dark One an imp.
"So when I found him, I begged him to help me."
"Rumplestiltskin doesn't just help people. Or at least not then," Regina said.
"Yes, that's right. He wanted to make a deal, but thought that I have nothing that he could possibly want. And then I asked if he never lost someone he love and for whom he would do anything possible to be good. And suddenly he turned around to the books in order to help me!"
"Bae," Tink whispered. Regina nodded.
"Who?"
"His son, Baefire. He had lost him," the fairy explained.
"Oh... That's why he..." The Ice Queen muttered.
"Well..he looked through his books and found a spell..."
"But you had to pay the price for it," the brunette mumbled not surprised.
"He tried his best. He even looked for another spell, but I hold him that it was okay. I will pay the price. Anyways I had nobody else, so it was fine for me. Then he told me that my magic and I had to be bottled up in a special urn. An urn he already possessed. He used the spell, letting Arendale thaw and imprisoned me into the urn," she ended her tale, leaving the other two women speechless for a moment. She had actually agreed to being kept in an urn for so many years. She wasn't even angry. She was glad that everyone was alright. They couldn't really say anything until a loud 'SWOOSH' interrupted their thoughts, followed by some cursing.
"What was that?" The blonde queen whispered surprised.
"Sounds like a... like a portal." The other queen muttered as the three of them walked outside to whomever had appeared in their world.
Sooo, what do you think? :) Leave me a few words :)
