Emma lost herself in Queen's words. Snow White. She wants her to kill a child. Emma was about to refuse Regina's shameless request about killing a girl. Emma knew, she is the Dark One, but killing a child, that's just too brutal, even for her. Now she found herself thinking; What kind of a woman Queen really is and what kind of horror could someone inflict to another to deserve, nothing less than senseless death. Flashbacks of her past were chasing inside of her head; how mob from the village she used to live in attacked her home, her parents for keeping their little girl, for protecting and covering her from their unsated rage.
FLASHBACK:
Long before Emma was born, people were talking how something horrible is about to happen in near future. Of course some of them thought those were just nonsenses because the old lady,fortune-teller, people used to call-Granny, said so. But she was right. Almost every single soul who lived in that village came to her, to hear her horrifying story, even Emma's parents who didn't, themselves knew what will happen to them and most importantly to their child.
It was a cold night,regardless, people came in the middle of the woods, where the moon was in his full glory right above scared people who were quivering because of the snow which skilfully sneaked in their footwears. They knew they'll hear something bad,something true. Granny lighted a fire and sat on a stump, people were gathered in a circle around her, hugging each other to warm themselves. But that didn't help.
''Listen up!'' Yelled the old lady, which made everyone jump at their places. She chuckled and continued ''Bloody future is ahead of us!'' She looked at every single feared face around her ''And it won't be pleasant, far from that...Hell shall rise on Earth! Heaven and Hell collided. By two beautiful, sinful,greedy women...'' She stopped as she looked at the beautiful couple who was shivering on the cold ground. Woman was trying to warm herself as best as she could in her coat as the husband hug her tightly,soothing hand placed on her belly. Granny narrowed her eyes as she pointed accusing finger on them telling through gritted teeth:
''That's the child! I'm telling you!''
Emma's mother all frightened looked at her husband who was standing still,talking with calm voice while caressing his wife's soft, golden curls:
''Don't talk rubbish old lady. Our child has nothing to do with this. We doesn't even know the sex yet, how do you know it's a girl?''
Granny walked towards them, hopping from one leg to another, placing hand to woman's belly as she opened her mouth in a hideous smile. In that moment Granny's eyes rolled back and all the could see was white as she pulled out the knife from the pocket and cut woman's face. Emma's mother screamed and fell on her back, husband holding her while everyone else watched in horror,some of the people even went back to their homes. Fire went all crazy when one of her flames met lightning, mixing with fresh blood of child's mother. Granny was yelling something in unknown language, but whatever it was, it wasn't anything good, which made Emma's mother even more terrified. Dust raised from the ground and started spinning around Granny who has her hands raised high above her hand. After the whole horrifying scene Granny extinguish the fire and everything became calm.
She was breathing heavily when she turned around just to hear Emma's mother yelling in tears:
''Wha-What did you do?!'' She got up from the ground, teeth trembling from coldness as she felt tears streaming down her smooth face. Granny laughed and came closer to the couple and as she was about to touch woman's belly, Emma's father pushed old lady away from her when she started talking:
''Other girl's mother,unfortunately, is not here with us, but if you want more answers you have to find woman named Cora-Cora Mills. She has a farm not too far from here and...'' She extended her arm in front of them ''You'll see a girl with black eyes, black as the night we are surrounded by right now.'' She came even closer and whispered this part into woman's ear ''You have to trust me. Two girls cannot know about each other or else...Seven Holy Kingdoms will make war and one of them will be ruled by one of the girls. Even I don't know which one is destined for that...'' Granny stepped back from them
Emma's parents became pale as they turned around and went home. Emma's mother was crying until they came home. What did she do to deserve this and most importantly what has her girl ever done to be punished in this kind of way. She wasn't even born and her destiny is already written. Anastasia knows that that Cora must be feeling the same about her black eyed girl. Just the word blackbrings awful thoughts to Anastasia's mind. And question; Why in the Seven Kingdoms is her daughter the chosen one,along with other girl? She was sitting in her small room by the fireplace when she felt Isaac's hands on her shoulders:
''I know you're scared I am too...'' He sat behind her so she could lean her head on his shoulders, quietly sobbing while listening his words which made her feeling better. Oh she was so happy for having him by her side:
''Everything will be alright. You have to have hope. Everything will be alright with our girl...''
''How can you even tell me this? Our daughter is One of the girls! Rumors are true! If she and that other girl even meet...War is unavoidable!'' She bursted into tears again, hands covering her face as she turned around in her husband's arms, sobbing against his chest when she heard him telling her:
''We will go visit that woman. Cora. We will talk with her and...''
''And what?''
''Wait. That's all we can do for now.''
Next morning came pretty fast, they didn't even realised when they had fallen asleep. When they had breakfast neither of them wanted to wait any longer. They locked doors behind themselves and went to find Cora Mills. After a long walk under a burning sun they saw a small farm with stables. Isaac took Anastasia's hand and gave it a squeeze:
''Calm down love I can see concern all around your face.''
''I am concerned. This is our child we're talking about...Our girl...''
''Shh...We will talk with this woman and everything will be much clearer.'' He hugged her again as they slowly went to Cora's house. After a few minutes they knocked at Cora's doors. At first no one appeared but then, the person who was destined to open a Hell on Earth along with their daughter smiled at them and asked with soft, innocent voice:
''Good afternoon. Mother someone's here...'' Cora stepped behind little girl and gave the couple a terrifying look, it seems she knows exactly who they are.
''Regina, dear go to your room and prepare yourself for a next lecture.''
''Yes mother.''
Regina turned around and obediently went to her room. When she was gone, Cora opened doors even more to let them in. She offered them a cup of tea, and while they were drinking everything was silent, uncomfortably silent and that silence was killing them all, bit by bit, that is until Cora said:
''I know who you are and I know why you are here. I knew this day would come I just didn't expect it to be this soon.''
''You expected us?'' Anastasia asked in confused voice when she saw Cora laughing and asking sarcastically:
''Well yes! How many girls are destined to cause such horror on Earth?'' Silence again. This didn't make situation better, at all, by all means, it made it even more uncomfortable. Cora took a sip of her tea before she coughed and continued listening woman's speech:
''Granny send us here and she told us that you'll tell us everything we need to know.''
''Yes I will, well, everything I know that is.''
''Well, start.'' Said Anastasia, clearly losing temper because she needs to wait this long.
''The prophecy is quite clear; Hell on Earth. The war you've heard about won't start all of the sudden, no...It will start later, when Hell and Heaven touch themselves...''
''Touch? What does that mean?'' Asked Isaac impatiently while holding his wife's hand.
''I don't know. I've told you already I will tell you everything I know...''
''Alright, go on. What's the deal with all Heaven-Hell thing?''
''We all know that Heaven is where all the good things are born...Your child is one of them. Born out of pure, flawless, true love...while my daughter is...the opposite and I don't '' she raised her voice ''have the intention of sharing this story with you.'' Anastasia and Isaac understood, there must be something bad that happened to this woman when she doesn't want to talk about it.
''Anyway, she is destined to become a Queen...''
''Wait! Like-Like the Queen of Seven Holy Kingdoms?!''
Cora nodded and all of their heads snapped at the little girl who said quietly Cora:
''Mother I'm done with lecture...I have a dance class soon, we have to practice.''
Anastasia was looking at the girl. No one in the Seven Kingdoms would even think that that girl is product of Hell, whatever that means...She looked so, beautifully gentle, though her black eyes always betrayed her.
''Regina, go to your room. I will call you when I finish talking with these people.''
But Regina didn't went to her room. She wasn't known as the disobedient child, but she was far too curious as she approached the woman, looking straight into green eyes full of insecurities. Anastasia knew, she shouldn't feel like this with child...But something unholy was shining from those black eyes. Oh, she must be ashamed of herself for being scared of a six year old. Regina extended her arm right in front of woman's belly and asked firmly:
''May I?''
Anastasia looked at Cora who was nodding at her. What? Will she be that careless and let Regina know that something was wrong. Regina maybe is just six years old but she was far more mature then she looked. Anastasia gave Regina a taut smile when she nodded in approval and then she felt girl's hand on her belly. Regina started caressing it and Anastasia would be lying if she said that she didn't feel anything. It was like the most harsh knives were stabbing right through her guts. This girl, indeed has something corrupted inside of herself something that she should protect her daughter from. She was starting to feel even more uneasy, especially when she felt slight tingling when Regina put a ear on her belly. Woman started breathing unsteady when she heard Regina's talking:
''It's unhealthy for a mother and a child to be put under this kind of stress.''
''Yes, yes...'' Muttered Anastasia when she moved away from Regina who looked at her. Cora saw a tension between them when she took Regina's wrist and said:
''Regina, that's enough go to your room and start practicing. We have to meet someone later, remember?''
Regina nodded and headed to her room, and before she closed the doors she looked at Anastasia with narrowed eyes which send shivers down woman's spine.
''I'm sorry-''
''Anastasia and,'' she gestured to her husband ''Isaac''
''Yes. I have to say to you...Regina own so much dark potential inside of herself and that is coming out of her through magic...She is slowly learning how to control it. I think she felt something when she touched your belly...''
''Enough!'' Protectively yelled Isaac who asked ''Do you have something else to say?''
''Yes, in fact I do.''
''Talk.'' He said coldly.
''If your daughter and Regina connect on a deeper level as I've already said...The war of power will begin between Seven Holy Kingdoms and that's why we can't let them to meet each other. There will be so many dead around us...and at the end of the battle, all Seven Holy Kingdoms will be ruled by the most powerful one...By the one who will call himself Devil and then you can say goodbye to happiness and dear happy endings...''
