Killian's Inferno
Chapter Nineteen
Inside Robin's mind…
As the woman appearing as Robin's first love, Marian stepped back and raised the green stone she was wearing on a chain around her neck, she spoke up saying, "Actually... Not exactly. Hello, dear husband."
When Marian suddenly became Zelena, just as Regina had tried to warn him of, Robin stared at the witch in shock as he stated, "No."
"Come on, Robin," the woman who truly loved the archer said in frustration. "We have to get you and Roland out of here."
"Robin?" the Queen requested again when he didn't make an effort to move at all, just simply looked away from both women as he struggled to process the truth. "Get Roland and let's go."
Zelena smiled smugly as she looked between the man she had tricked all this time and her sister, whom she still hated, and answered, "I think he still wants to stay."
Regina looked at him worryingly as she asked, "Robin, what are you doing? Get your son and let's go."
"I-I can't," the archer and former thief stuttered.
"Yes, you can," she tried again as she took his hand to get him to move with her. "Just come with me. Come on. Let's go."
Robin apologized fretfully, "I'm sorry. I can't leave her here."
Regina glared at him in surprise as she questioned, "What?"
"Do you want to tell her?" Zelena interrupted once again as she stepped forward while she looked smugly at the man between them and moved around to stand before her sister. "Or should I?"
"Tell me what?" the Queen asked with even more frustration. "Robin?"
He finally replied fearfully, "She's pregnant."
Her sister cackled and then responded, "Isn't that just wonderful news? I was simply ecstatic when I heard."
"You misunderstand me, Zelena," Robin answered coldly as he turned back to face the woman who destroyed his happiness back in Storybrooke with Regina. "I can't leave you here alone and go back to my life pretending that you're not going to have my child, but we can bring you back with us, where you will face… some sort of charges for your crimes, whatever they are."
"Do you really think so?" the Wicked Witch of the West replied as if she knew something no one else did.
Emma stepped forward as she glared at the woman and said, "If you're concocting some kind of foul plan in that twisted mind of yours, don't bother. We will stop you, one way or another. You've been inside our town's jail cells before. That's going to become your home again for the foreseeable future."
Regina muttered under her breath, "A jail cell is too good for her. If we're going to lock her up, then we're going to do so as we put her down with the crazies, inside the loony bin."
"Not today you won't, sister," Zelena responded smugly as she suddenly placed a freezing spell on everyone except for Robin, as she walked over to stand before him. "I'm not willing to risk anything coming between me and my baby and that includes Regina, Emma, or you, darling. Now, I can't say our time together was a pleasure, but I do finally understand why my sister is so drawn to you. So, I have a proposition."
"I won't do anything for you," Robin answered defiantly as she moved in closer to him. "Let them go!"
She smiled and replied, "Not until you hear me out and agree. Because if you don't, not only will you never see your new baby be born, but you will also force me to kill the love of your life, just as I killed the other love of your life. I can also steal Roland away from you and raise him to be perfectly wicked."
Robin looked back at his son fearfully, then turned to Regina, who he knew could still hear their entire conversation, as he whispered the words I love you to her, and finally turned back to the witch as he asked regrettably, "What do you want from me?"
"I am so glad that you have come to make the right decision, Robbie darling," Zelena responded and laughed manically while she raised her arms high above her head, then cast a spell upon the archer as he became engulfed by green smoke, causing him to scream as he began to change forms. "You are going to become my slave and do for me whatever it is I need you to do. If you're a good boy, I will allow you to see your son every once in awhile and help me to raise the child we will soon have together. With our help, he or she will grow to become positively wicked just like its mother."
"Robin!" Regina cried out fearfully as the smoke disappeared and a dirty monkey with wings was all that was left of the man she loved as the beast squawked wildly, then jumped out the window and flew away. "Zelena, you bitch! I promise you, I won't let you get away with this."
As the Queen raised her hands, about to use her own magic against her sister, Zelena immediately stated, "Ah, ah, ah, not so fast, Regina dear. You should know one thing. If you try to use magic against me, any magic at all, you will kill him. It's my insurance so that you can't harm me. And Savior, the same applies to you as well. Robin will die whether it's light magic or dark magic used on me, and I know that neither of you can take me down without your powers. Perhaps one day, you'll get the chance to see him as a man again, but if you do, he still won't be the man you love any longer, sis. Goodbye!"
As the witch disappeared within another puff of smoke, Regina tried to grab onto her before she could get away, but stopped and turned around to kneel down in front of the boy standing in the room with them when Roland began to cry as he looked up at the woman he had grown close to back in Storybrooke and asked fearfully, "Daddy? What happened to him? I want my father!"
