Chapter two - Heroes don't get days off. (Part II)
She froze, and she wasn't sure if it was the effect of not knowing what to do, or the sudden cold she felt. When did it get this cold? This morning the weather was just fine. She prayed that the ground would open up and swallow her, she wasn't ready to face him, especially not in front of everybody.
But naturally, she wasn't that lucky.
As the thoughts kept battling in her mind, she could clearly hear footsteps approaching, and they were more than two, which served to awaken her curiosity; but after hearing the other person talk, it vanished. Of course.
"Robin, Friar Tuck" Greeted Mary Margaret with a nod.
"Good morning everyone." Replied Robin.
"We're not open yet" Yelled Granny, being her bossy self. And at that moment, Regina swore she never loved that woman before until now.
"We know" responded Friar Tuck "We were just wondering if someone knew what's going on outside" he continued turning to Regina, and coming to stand next to Snow, who just happened to be right in front of Regina "It's getting colder by the minute."
"Why do I hear judgment and accusation in your voice?" She said defensive.
"I don't know your majesty, you tell me."
"I'm not a queen in this realm, and I have nothing to do with this." She couldn't believe the nerve of this man. First he comes in and interrupts their conversation, then he invites himself in only to accuse her; he clearly did not care that much about his life.
"I have a hard time believing so. Your sister was the only threat here, and you defeated her. Maybe it was all a way to gain power."
She scoffed, she would have laughed, but he really didn't deserve to get any more attention, so she turned to Charming.
"Care to join or should I go by myself; because as much as the vice-thief's theories are entertaining I do have more important things to get to."
"They are not theories. They are facts. And I'm not the only one who thinks so" He said looking pointedly at Robin.
Her heart started hurting immediately in her chest at Friar Tuck's words. If she wasn't sure that her heart was at its place, she would have sworn that someone was crushing it in their hands right now. It only took the man one day, and some icy forest to lose all faith in her. Did she mention how stupid she felt?
Villains don't get happy endings.
You've changed. You're a hero now.
Rumpelstilskin's and Henry's words started coming back to her, engaging into what seemed to her like a lost cause. She wasn't sure what she was anymore, she did defeat her sister, which makes her a hero right? But what seemed to convince some people only grew others more suspicious of her. But she'd be damned if she let a good for nothing thief see her weakened at his words.
"Enough!" Yelled Hook "With all due respect mate, we were trying to accomplish something here. And unless you know more about this town than we all do in the last six months you've been here, I'd suggest you let us handle this."
"I honestly don't know what you're waiting for, the answer is right in front of you all. She's as Evil as they come."
"You know what? I am not that Evil Queen you seem so keen on proving still exists; and honestly if you want to continue this, accusing me of every bad thing that happens in this town, then by all means, go ahead. Both of you. " Said Regina, turning for the first time to look at Robin to make her point "In fact, I can even give you something else to think about, because between saving this town from its doom and facing my sister, I've been trying to find a way to freeze it." She bit back sarcastically, with a fake smile on her face. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have better things to do."
"You haven't changed a bit, have you?" Said Robin.
"Think whatever the hell you want to." She answered, praying her voice didn't betray the hurt she felt.
"Marian said something pretty interesting last night.." He didn't know what pushed him to start it, but something about the way she was talking to him just irritated him "She said you were the reason she was taken away from us. You're a murderer." The words fell from his mouth before he could stop them, and if it wasn't for the audience, he would have slapped himself.
The others fell quiet, and the room started spinning around Regina, she didn't know how to feel, she didn't know what to think, all she could hear were echoes, of what seemed like Robin's and Friar Tuck's voices.
As evil as they come. Friar Tuck's would say.
Murderer. Robin's would follow.
Was that the man that was comforting her only two days ago? The man that told her she could do what she wanted if she put her mind to it? The man who, alongside her son, made her believe in herself and believe that she was good again? Bold and audacious perhaps, but not evil. The man who believed she wasn't as evil as the other said and thought? Certainly, she must be dreaming.
And what was he saying now? She didn't remember his wife when she saw her two days ago. You wouldn't remember anyone you killed if you saw them today. Her mind teased her, and now that she thought about it, it was right.
She felt like throwing up and at the same time she was getting short of breath like she just ran a marathon.
She had to get out of here, somewhere, anywhere, even hell would be a luxury right now. Her heart hurt way too much right now; as if someone was squeezing it, yet she was sure that if someone actually was, it would hurt less.
Regina..
Regina..
The echoes were back, but she wasn't sure who was calling her, who was using her name; until she felt two arms shaking her.
"REGINA!" Snow yelled!
That made her snap out of it and come back to the reality of it all. She could see the questioning look on everyone's face except Snow's, who had a look of understanding and sadness and Robin's, who she couldn't see, couldn't face.
"I have to go." She said before disappearing in a cloud of purple smoke.
* It's all about timing *
The second Regina left the diner; Robin excused himself and stormed out the door. He wanted to kill himself, he didn't know what pushed him to say those words, he didn't mean them, didn't think them, it felt like the words were just falling out of his mouth, like he wasn't controlling them.
Sure, when Marian told him everything the day prior, he felt like someone was slapping him over and over again. His second chance actually killed his first. He didn't know how to feel nor what to say, as anger started to rise in his chest; not because he hated Regina, but because he couldn't find it in him to hate her, not even a little bit, and he didn't know why.
Because you're in love with her you moron. His mind screamed.
And he immediately shut this thought down, because no, he wasn't. His wife was back, and he loved his wife, with all his heart, he was in love with his wife, he would have walked through hell to be with her again, and now, he could. It's like his wish came true.
But why did it feel like this wasn't his wish anymore?
He pushed that thought aside; he couldn't afford to go down that path right now. Marian was his wife, the mother of his child, and he owed it to her to stick with her and be faithful physically and mentally, and that's what he was going to do.
He wanted what's best for his son, the poor boy has been motherless for so long, he deserved the chance to have a mother, and fate, that weird trickster, gave his son his first chance and Robin's his second. And he knew that, but he couldn't help it, he had to see her, if only one last time.
So when he heard Emma and David talking about the council meeting yesterday in the forest, he knew that this was his only chance; because Regina would never in a million years let him see her or talk to her otherwise. That's why he took this chance and decided to go.
When he woke up this morning, he went to his merry men and asked Little John to look after his little family, and took Friar Tuck with him.
When he arrived and saw her, even if her back was to him it's like his world stopped and so his heart followed. She always had that effect on him, she always made him loose control of his ability, from breathing, to talking. And so he stood there staring, which had gotten a bit obvious to everybody; which resulted in Friar Tuck nudging his side, making him snap out of it in time to hear Snow's greeting.
As Regina and Friar Tuck's engaged in a verbal and harsh arguments, Robin felt the need to kick Friar Tuck grow inside of him, a need that only grew more when he made it seem like Robin saw Regina as Evil again. He never did, nor will he ever do. But stupid as he was, he made it seem like it was true, by keeping his mouth shut and calling her a murderer minutes later.
And now here he was, walking in the forest, heading to the place where the ice started, for he knew she would be there. He didn't feel to notice that the ice was now covering the forest whole, which only served to worry him even more. But before he could think further about it, he was already at his destination; but she wasn't.
Robin sighed, shivering a little at the coldness of the weather, before turning back to get to his camp; with only one thought in mind :
He had to apologize and make it right to Regina.
A/N : VOUALAAAA!
Here it is!
So do you hate me? Love me? Want to kill me?
I know, I know, Robin is super mean, and it certainly not how A&E are going to handle it (I hope not) but I am far from being A&E. But it's my version of it.
I hope you liked it.
Leave me some love (or hatred if you like (no mean comments, critics are welcome as long as they're not just for the thrill of criticizing)) through reviews.
Lots of love;
xoxo
