CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE- Storybrooke Cemetery
"Whoever did this is going to regret messing with The Savior and Captain Hook's daughter." Kendra waved her hands, dressing herself in full black leather pirate garb. A black leather headband adorned in black pearls caused her golden curls to cascade over one shoulder. Her eyeliner winged out giving her ocean colored eyes an intense glare.
Kendra strutted over to the mausoleum at the center of the graveyard. Is this what I think it is? She stared at the insignia above the entrance, interlocking antlers. This is exactly what I think it is. It's Regina's infamous vault. Let's see what kind of fun we can find in here…
She blew the doors off of their hinges with one swoop of her hand. She entered the tomb, tracing her fingers across the dusty coffin. She pushed the casket to the side, revealing the passage down into Regina's lair. Kendra descended the stairs to find herself surrounded by all sorts of spell books, potions, and various magical items. She took a moment to admire her new found look in Regina's prized mirror. The dim lighting of the vault gave Kendra an even more sinister appearance in the tangled onyx framed looking glass. It was the first time Kendra ever found herself looking like a true pirate. I could get used to this. No ball gowns or formalities, no titles or superiors, just me and a chance to be a real pirate, just like I was always meant to be. Most importantly, I will have no one, NO ONE, to stand in my way.
Kendra looked down at the crimson sparks still emitting from her fingertips. Is this what true power feels like? Not holding anything back? Adrenaline continued to course through her veins. If it is, I am never giving this up. "Colette, I vow not to rest until you are avenged. I will destroy everything in my path until the person who is responsible is lying dead at my feet," Kendra spat.
She flew to the shelves, plucking the first dark magic book she could find. It had a single ruby heart in the center, surrounded by gold embellishment on a dull silver cover. Kendra undid the golden clasps and opened the book, revealing the ominous secrets within. She had read about dark magic in her free time, something, until now, she had always tried to avoid and vowed never to use. But, her thirst for vengeance drew her to the pages. Kendra took in every word, inhaling them off of the pages. Every turn of the parchment sucked her into the darkness even more.
Dawn had risen by the time Kendra had finished consuming the spells that lined each and every page of the books in Regina's vault. Rumplestiltskin had always been right. I am powerful, more so than I ever could have imagined. Maybe I'm even greater than The Dark One or my mother, The Savior. My mother, the chosen one, the hope, The Savior, there will be no more living in her all-mighty shadow anymore. I will be the supreme wielder of magic. The thoughts reeled in her mind. Kendra looked at herself one last time in the mirror, letting out a villainous cackle before retiring from the vault.
"Who are you and what the hell do you think are doing?" Regina was marching towards her vault.
"Stay back. My fight is not with you, Regina. I don't want to hurt you," Kendra growled. The sparks falling from her hands intensified.
"I'll ask again. Who are you? Are you the person that hurt my son?" Regina hissed.
Hurt Henry? I would never…oh, no. I must have hit him when I lost control. "I SAID GET BACK!" Kendra opened a portal in front of herself to prevent Regina from moving any closer.
Kendra was blasted backwards by Regina's own magic, causing her portal that was defending her to collapse. Kendra retaliated with the full force of her new dark magic powers, sending a fireball straight at Regina. While Regina was forced to counter the spell, Kendra teleported herself back to The Savior Swan.
"That little coward is going to pay." Regina stormed down into the mausoleum to find all of her spell books and magical items strewn across the floor. Regina didn't even bother to begin to clean up the mess. She had to go back to the hospital to see how Henry was doing. "That girl is going to get what she deserves. The Evil Queen will always win against a novice, hormonal, teenager dabbling in a bit of dark magic," she muttered to herself.
