Killian's Inferno
Chapter Seventeen
Inside Mary Margaret's Mind…
"Well, well, well... Isn't this my lucky day?" Regina, as the Evil Queen, asked with cruel glee while under the curse of shattered sight placed on all of Storybrooke by the Snow Queen, as she walked into the sheriff station and found her two greatest enemies both locked up within the cells, while completely ignoring the other two strangers to their town standing nearby. "I had come here to kill Emma, but now I get to kill the two idiots who started it all."
"Hey, I wasn't the one that told Cora about your secret boyfriend." David replied haughtily as he looked over at his wife to indicate her.
Mary Margaret glared at him as she asked with disdain, "Are you selling me out?"
Regina sneered coldly, "Shut up! You both deserve to die. Not just for what you did, but for your whining. But your punishments should fit your crimes."
"Mary Margaret, you took my first true love from me," the Queen continued as she glared at the woman she hated until she turned and slowly approached the carriage while making the royals from Arendelle disappear in a cloud of smoke. "Now I'm going to return the favor by taking your baby."
"No!" Snow cried fearfully, knowing there was nothing she could do, but beg the evil woman not to.
Charming called out to her shouting, "Regina!"
Once the others were gone, Regina used her magic to unlock the cell Mary Margaret was in as she answered, "Where was I?"
"Gonna use your magic, Regina?" Neal's mother asked without feeling as she glared at the Evil Queen while remaining within the cell for the moment. "You afraid to get your hands dirty?"
"I don't need magic to kill you," Regina responded cruelly as she made a sword appear in Mary Margaret's right hand, as well as one within her own, then watched as Snow bravely approached her with her weapon raised, prepared to fight. "Magic is too good for you. I want to watch you bleed."
Both the Queen and the Princess began to fight and while he watched them helplessly from his own cell that remained locked, David remained quiet until Regina knocked his wife back against the desk, causing the phone to crash onto the floor, then called out again, "Careful! The stroller's not under warranty anymore!"
Mary Margaret kept trying to hold off Regina as she kept the woman who ruined her life pinned down, trying to kill Snow with her blade as Snow replied to David's senseless remark, "You said you bought it new!"
"It was gently used!" he answered as the former bandit finally managed to knock Regina back and swung her sword at the woman trying to kill her.
"Let me know when you're tired of missing, Mary Margaret," Regina snarled again.
Snow immediately responded, "I only have to hit you once."
It was then that the Evil Queen knocked Mary Margaret to the ground and she quickly rose back up in order to continue to fight. David tried to intervene to help the woman he didn't remember he loved at the time as he grabbed Regina's wrist to get her to drop the weapon, but in doing, Regina was able to knock Snow down once more, then turned back to their baby, who was still sleeping inside his stroller, completely undisturbed by the battle taking place all around him.
While the mother struggled to catch her breath, Regina stared down at the baby as she approached him and said, "My, my. Aren't you a good a sleeper?"
"You think this spell has made me angry?" Snow cried out as she charged the Queen again, causing them both to fly over the top of the desk and land heavily on the floor, both hero and villain unarmed now. "Do not wake my baby!"
"You said no magic!" Mary Margaret stated as she slowly began to back away from Regina after the woman dressed in her fancy gown suddenly catapulted her backward and to the floor again with an invisible force.
It was then the memory changed within the dream when Regina raised her hand to ignite a flame, then swiftly sent it directly at David as she shouted back angrily, "And you said you could keep a secret!"
The Prince suddenly became engulfed by the fireball, the flame killing him instantly as the fire disappeared and nothing else, but ash remained where Mary Margaret's husband once stood. Snow cried out his name impulsively, then turned back to the evil women standing before her with a look of cruel delight on her face and slowly bent down to pick up her sword once again to continue their fight, except that Regina simply forced her enemy back against the cell bars behind her, making her completely defenseless and unable to break free.
The Princess' eyes softened as she breathed in and out to try to calm down, then she spoke up again saying, "Regina, I was only ten. So you killed the man I suppose I used to love, just like you claim I killed the man you loved way back when. Are you ready to end this now? You made me pay. I've had enough of this!"
"No," the villain muttered cruelly. "I may have killed your once true love, but so long as we're under this curse, we both know that the only thing you really care about are your children. I'm going to take this baby away from you and raise him as my own son, but first… I am going to go out to find Emma, that wretched daughter of yours, and I will kill her as I should have done a long time ago, before she ruined everything for me. Henry and Neal are mine and now, you are finally going to be alone to suffer the rest of your days within this God forsaken Hell I created for you. I hope you got the chance to say goodbye. You will never see your loved ones again."
"Neal!" Mary Margaret cried out fearfully as Regina suddenly disappeared in a purple cloud of smoke with her son within her arms, laughing manically. "Regina, come back! Please! Regina!"
