"No, but, I'm just confused," Emma begins. "I thought Zelena was locked up?"
"And so did I," We walk into the hospital and I unlock the door into the mental ward. We head down the stairs and I walk up to the receptionist.
"Oh, hello Ms Mills," She says. "Is everything alright?"
"Listen, I need to check something urgently, is my... sister still here?"
"I think so?.. Well, I don't see why she wouldn't," By her tone I can tell she doesn't have a clue. I walk towards her cell and look through the opening. It's empty.
I look at Emma, and she looks at me.
"Go in," She prompts me. I enter the key into the lock and twist it. I push the door open slowly and step inside, when someone grabs me and pins me down onto the ground, holding my wrists down and almost on top of me so I can't move.
"Oh, hello sis. Did you miss me?" She uses those words, so familiar from the note.
"You think I'd miss you??" I ask.
"Well, you did come all the way here to see me." She replies.
"Not to see you. To check you're here."
"Oh, and why would you be checking on me?" I clench my teeth and swallow. "Oh! You did get my little gifts!"
"Listen you little bitch. Get the hell of me." I shout. I hear a gun click, and then Emma's voice.
"Don't make me shoot this, Zelena. Now you slowly release Regina and stand up, keeping your hands up." She threatens her. Zelena's hands squeeze my wrists tighter yet until she finally gives in.
She releases her grip, keeps hands up and slowly rising. I follow slowly, but then she takes her hand and makes a fist and punches Emma right in the face.
She falls to the ground unconscious and Zelena looks at me with that face.
"Didn't I already tell you, Regina? Wicked. Always. Wins." And with that, she leaves the cell. I start to run after her but it's too late. She's locked Emma and I in her cell.

I pound on the door as hard as I can, hoping someone realises something is up. Surely if I had been seen entering, I should have been seen leaving? Isn't that a little suspicious? But it's no use. Nothing happens and nothing is going to happen. I sit down and sigh. And then Emma wakes up.
"What the hell just happened??" She asks.
"Zelena happened. She knocked you out and locked us in here." I explain to her, as she slowly gets up. Her face is slightly scratched from Zelena's punch. "Hey, come here," I tell her. She comes and sits next to me, and I gently feel the scar. She gasps with shock at first, but then eventually allows me to. I use my magic and her scar is instantly gone. "There you go."
"Thanks, Regina."
"You're welcome."
"Now, how the hell are we gonna get outta here?" I shrug.
"Oh-" I suddenly realise. "Ugh, I'm so stupid." I instantly use magic to send us to my house.
"So, we need to find Zelena now."
"Yes. She's not getting away with this." I say. "We need to go on a witch hunt."

-

The next morning, Emma and I set out to look for Zelena.
"Okay, where's a witch most likely to hide?" I ask.
"I honestly have no idea." She replies.
We walk through the forest together, looking out for any signs of where she could be, but we can't see any. We decide to stop for a short break and head back to the town.
I walk towards Mr Gold's shop, with Emma following closely behind me.
"Listen Gold," She begins. "We need to find Zelena."
"I thought you'd locked her up?" He asks me.
"The bitch escaped." I tell him.
"Well, it seems you're both in quite a predicament."
"Yeah, and we need your help." She says.
"Have you already forgotten? All magic comes with already price, dearie."
"I don't care about the price. Just tell me, how do I find her??" I ask, losing my patience with every second that ticks by.
"Well, if you're that desperate, and the price doesn't bother you... Just remember. There's no way out of this price."
"I don't care. Just please... help."
"If that's so..."

-

As we walk out of Mr Gold's shop, we pour the dust he provided onto the necklace that was Zelena's, which we thankfully managed to find in his shop as well.
We begin walking back towards the forest, and then towards my vault, where the glow is stronger. We walk down the stairs quietly, and then enter my secret room.
"Oh! Fancy seeing you again, sis!" Her voice says. "Don't you think this feels a little deja vu-ish?" She asks. Neither of us make an answer. "Oh. Are you annoyed with me for locking you in there?" She asks. Again, we don't answer. "So if you care about Robin so much, you'll want to answer my next question. Do you want to see him?"
"Yes," My cracked voice can barely get out the word.
"Good. Because I happen to know he wants to see you. Robin?" She calls. He walks out and my eyes are brightened by the sight of him.
"Robin?!" I cry as I run towards him and cling on to him. "It's really you!" I say, as the tears fall from my eyes. My lips move towards his face and I kiss his temple multiple times. "Robin I've missed you so much,"
"I've missed you too, Re-" He falls the the ground, his hand on his chest. Zelena has his heart.
"ROBIN NO!" I cry. Emma whips out her gun, but Zelena uses her magic to make it dissappear.
"What do you want, Zelena??" Emma asks her.
"All I want is my happiness." She replies.
"You don't get happiness through winning." I say from my knees as I cry over Robin as he moves around in agony on the floor.
"You're insane Zelena." Emma shouts.
"Oh enough with you," She says as she uses her magic to send Emma somewhere.
"And how do you expect to achieve this happiness??" I ask her.
"Your death will mean everything to me. I can have my child without you in the way, I can be free, and I can do what I wish."
"So... so... you want to kill me?" I stammer. I plant a kiss on Robin's cheek, stand up and lift my arms in surrender. "Go on. Get it over and done with." I close my eyes, hoping it won't be as bad if I do. I'm not ready, but to stop her torturing Robin, I'd do anything. I wait.

Nothing happens.

I slowly open my eyes to look at her. Her wicked grin stares into me, followed by her laugh.
"You really think it would be this easy? No, first everything is going to be hell for you. All the pain and suffering I've endured, now it's your turn."
"What are you talking about??" I shout at the top of my voice, confused by her.
"You were raised properly. A home, parents, you don't know how hard everything was for me. And the way you've treated me? Well that's the beginning of this Regina- I'm going to make sure you suffer as badly-- in fact worse than I was ever treated. And then, when the time is right? You'll be begging for me to kill you. You'll be wanting to die. But I'll kill you long after that, when you won't expect it. And in the meantime, Robin? He's mine. You can't say or do anything to change it, I am going to do this. I will be happy. And you, will not, my sister." She walks towards me and lifts my chin with her hand. "Such a shame too- such potential you have, but you waste it all on love. Mother was always right. Love is weakness. And your weakness, is my advantage." She pauses for a while and puts a cuff on my wrist. "Now let's get you somewhere special..."

She uses her magic to take us somewhere, I have no idea where. All I know is that it isn't good. None of this is.
Everything is about to change.

A/N: So I thought there would only be a few more chapters but I've changed it slightly so hopefully I'll be able to do more. I think the ending will be the same though, or similar at least. I'll keep trying to update whenever I can, I'm a bit more active at the moment because of half term at school but after this week I'll be gone again but I'll try to write as much as possible. Ilyasm ♡
