Walking into the house I freeze seeing a woman sat on Regina's favorite chair messing with the TV remote frowning "this is strange" she mutters.
"Mother?" Regina says with a crack in her voice while tensing up.
"Regina" she says jumping up smiling brightly.
I tense seeing Regina tense moving me behind her "how did you escape?" She asks.
"Magic Bean" she says waving it off.
"Do I have grandchildren?" She asks point to a recent photo of Henry and Faith under the apple tree.
"I have a daughter and son" Regina says harshly.
"What of the Savior and that one behind you?" She asks.
"Emma and I share a son, this is my daughter's friend" she answers while easing me to the door.
"Regina please, I know I was horrible to you but I didn't have my heart, I put it back, I just want a chance to make this right" she says seeing Regina backing us out the door.
"Show me" Regina orders.
Frowning I watch seeing the woman literally pull her own heart out before putting it back "what the hell" I mutter.
"Should I?" I ask making her fingers brush the gun Emma gave me before their trip.
"No" Regina says nervously.
"I can aim for something not fatal" I offer.
"It's okay" she says taking a step forward.
I frown watching nervously ready to grab the gun as the woman hugs Regina, I can tell she's uncomfortable and nervous.
"I'm sure this is something Faith's going to lose it over" I mutter.
"Where are my grandkids?" She asks as Regina steps back.
"On a trip with Emma to pick up something" Regina says quickly.
"I didn't expect your kingdom to be like that" she says motioning in the direction of the trashed side.
"That's not mine, it's Snows"
Frowning I shake my head trying to put the accidentally slips of information together but I'm still missing to much information.
"Come inside girl no reason to act so uncivilized" the woman says frowning at me.
Glancing at Regina she nods and I step in closing the door behind me "Regina, I believe it's time to call Faith, she missed her check in" I say.
"I'm sure they just lost track of time with the sights" she answers.
Sighing I nod, how exactly am I supposed to handle this? Regina's clearly distressed with this woman's presence, but I'm not supposed to do anything and she's not wanting Faith called.
Hearing a phone ring I frown heading to Regina's office and pull a cubby out seeing my phone with Angel on the screen.
Grabbing it I jog back to Regina holding it up "Angel" I say.
She frowns looking at the phone before I answer it "hello?" I say.
"I'm fine... yes I was... no... I'm on probation and not allowed to leave... I am fine... Then I'll have the sheriff take it somewhere you can get it... Oh my God are you really going to try that... No you need to face facts Angel, Buffy is just as guilty, Faith needs helps and since everyone is so set to punish her while babying Buffy I'll help her myself... Yes I mean it, you may want to help but you can't see the faults in Buffy or how much of a hypocrite she is... I haven't had one this entire time... Yes I'm going with I'm on the correct path in helping Faith without any of you... No do not call again"
Hanging it up I roll my eyes seeing Regina raising her brow while the woman looks confused.
"So he's mad and demanding the company car back and cancelling the company card, I kinda need another job now"
"Why?"
"Faith needs to face punishment for her crimes before she can find redemption, I'm aiding a fugitive and murder, and that I need to be with him so I can use my visions for him"
"What's her count?" The woman asks.
Looking at her I raise my brows "three".
"Oh please that's nothing, why is that such a big deal, my count is much higher, even Regina's is"
"Even one is illegal, people go to prison for accidently murders, some go just for killing someone to save themselves at times" I say carefully while silently wondering if this woman's completely sane.
"That unreasonable" she says loudly "you're doing the right thing helping her get away, she's a princess and next in line for the throne" she adds.
Nodding I force a smile seeing Regina pinching the bridge of her nose, so clearly the woman's completely insane and delusional, perhaps it's the type of magic they have, it does defy logic and makes the magic I seen before seem like parlor tricks.
"Regina, we're going to be late for lunch with Abigail if we don't leave now" I say after a moment.
She nods grabbing her coat glancing at the woman, I can't bring myself to say Mother with how Regina responds to her.
"Mother?" She says motioning to the door.
Seeing her nod before walking out I frown glancing at Regina seeing her shaking her head, nodding I follow them out to the car.
Getting in the woman looks confused before Regina starts the car and starts backing out slowly.
Hearing her scream while yanking the door handle I raise my brow seeing her dive out.
"Damn it" Regina mutters softly.
"Well have to walk" she adds looking at me after hearing a tire pop loudly.
Nodding I get out finding the woman on the ground with fire in her hands glaring at the car.
"We're walking" I say seeing the tire completely blown out.
After five minutes of calming the woman down we take off reaching Abigail's 10 minutes late.
She lets us in while watching the woman suspiciously, before I can walk in she grabs my arm leading me off the porch "what is that woman doing here?" She whispers.
Shrugging I throw my arm out motioning to the house "she was in the house, Regina says not to shoot her or call Faith because she pulled her fucking heart out of her chest showed Regina then put it back" I answer.
Abigail sighing shaking her head "we'll have to hope Cora keeps it in".
"The woman is completely insane" I say in a harsh whisper.
"No, she's actually very cunning just not use to all this, she's never been around electronics, cars, or indoor plumbing she's never even seen it till now"
"Mother get out of that" Regina says loudly before something breaks.
Running in I find Regina glaring at the woman with broken glass around her and liquor "that better have not been my 150 year old bourbon" Abigail says rushing over to check the case.
"Good, was that trashy swill David brought me" she says relaxing.
