Lily Pov:

It was early morning; the sun was just coming up. I was outside throwing my knives, into a tree, hitting the center bullseye each time. Even though I hit the bullseye each time, I was still pissed. Pissed at the fact, I knew Zelena was behind this, pissed at the fact that, she was Reginas sister and my aunt, and finally, pissed at the fact I couldn't defeat her…. even with Regina by my side. "Do you plan on taking down the entire wood with those?" I felt Peter appear behind me.

"I might….…" I responded with an evil glance at him as I threw another knife.

Peter walked around to better get my attention. "So, I heard that Regina gave the savior her first official lesson in magic…."

"Yeah, she told me that Emma is a waste of talent and maybe a waste of time." again throwing another knife.

"Have you seen Regina since that night?" Peter asked.

"No…." I continued throwing multiple knives. Peter appeared in the path of one, catching it right before it pierced him. "What the hell are you doing!?"

Peter smirked "Oh come on now, Lily… we used to do that for fun…. remember?"

"Yeah…...I do." Peter was referring to the cruel and unusual games we used to play, especially around new comers. Peter and I both missed Neverland, everyday. I gave a small smile to him as he twirled one of my knives in his hand. I stood there and took in a deep sigh. "I'm gonna go see Regina."

Peter smirked back at me "I thought so." He followed me inside our house, and followed me upstairs to our bedroom. I was in our closet changing when Peter came up behind me, while topless rubbing my arms. He nestled his lips against my neck.

"Peter…." I breathed out. He always knew when to catch me off guard and take my breath away. "Peter I can't." I quickly put on my shirt and blazer and walked out of the bedroom.

"Lily…Wait!" I heard Peter call my name, but before he caught up to me, I disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

I appeared in Regina's house, just as she was walking down the stair case, in a royal blue dress, as she gasped at me. "Jesus Lillian!…knock much?" she walked down the last few steps. I leaned against the doorway of the foyer and dining room.

"Thought I just pop in and ask how you were, and how the so-called training with the savior is going?" I cocked my head as I asked her, she knew I wasn't a fan of Emma.

"Emma is difficult as always, and I'm doing fine." Regina looked at me like she always did when she was concerned about me "Are you ok? I haven't seen you since our debacle with Zelena."

"I'm ok, still pissed, but ok." I looked at her as she gave me a small smile as she turned to the mirror to put her earrings on. The doorbell suddenly rang, causing both of us to look up suspiciously "You expecting someone?"

Regina and myself answered the door, opening it. No one was there. Looking down Regina picked up a basket filled with green apples.

"A gift…" Both of us turned around to see Zelena sitting on the dining room table. I shut the front door as Regina put the basket on a table. "From sister to sister and from auntie to niece." she smirked while taking a sip of wine.

"What are you doing here?" Regina asked casually. I stood by her with my guard up.

Zelena stood up and started to walk around. "I saw your tree and thought you could use something better… red apples are so sickly sweet, don't you think?" she continued around the table. "People tend to like something…a bit sharper."

"Personally, green apples are just biter…" I stood next to Regina with my arms crossed. "and that's not yours…" Zelena eyeballed me as she held a figurine of Regina's.

Zelena set it back down and walked away "The story of my life…"

"Why are you here?" Regina questioned annoyingly

She gave sigh "Sisterly and good ole auntie concern and advice…." She countered around and gazed at both Regina and I. "Wanted to make sure you two were alright after our little show down."

She continued into the living room as Regina and I followed her. "We're perfectly fine…" I stated bluntly "Are you?"

"Getting there…." she walked into the living room gawking at the fine furnishing "Wow, this is…nice….so luxurious." Zelena lounged on the silk couch as Regina and I stood in the doorway. "I heard your place is even nicer." she pointed at me "You really don't appreciate what you all have, do you?"

Regina took couple steps in "Right…because I got everything and you have nothing." Regina laughed slightly "If you want your super power to be envy, then go right ahead."

Zelena glared "Envy is just another word for ambition."

"Well, that's just, not true." I stood next to Regina eyeing Zelena carefully, watching her every move.

Zelena looked between the both of us "See I strive for things, I work….you…you cast a curse that was just a fancy form of running away…with every advantage, you still turn your back on every opportunity for happiness." she looked back to me " At least Lily here, took a risk to be with the one she loves." Zelena got up and started to look around the room again "You, Regina, you just don't take risk, you don't live your life…it's just such a waste." She picked up a random sculpture, looking at it. "I can see why our mother was so disappointed in you."

I continue to watch Zelena carefully as Regina took a step forward and leaned on a chair. "Disappointed in me? She gave you away." Regina smirked.

Zelena scowled at Regina. "You have no idea what really happened. That's exactly what's going to hurt you and Lily for that matter."

I stepped up beside Regina arching my brow at Zelena, I was tired of listening to her voice "You didn't come here to give us any advice. Why are you really here?"

"So, perceptive dear Lily." She glared at me "I'm here, because I wanted to make sure that you, Regina, weren't someplace else, so I can take what I need." she looked around "or other the Dark One could….do you feel it sis? he's taking your heart." Zelena smiled widely and chuckled.

I quickly took one of my knives throwing it at her, but missing as it went through a cloud of green smoke. "Regina…." I breathed at I looked to her.

"Bitch." Regina said lowly "Come on…. we're leaving ." Regina was quick to change her shoes and grab her coat. She grabbed my hand and we were gone in a wave of purple smoke.

We appeared in the forest where Robins camp was set up, we walked up just as Robin put Roland down from an embrace. I knew that Rumple had already been here. "What happened?" Regina asked we walked up to him, yet Regina still stood in-between Robin and myself.

"I'm sorry." Robin exclaimed "Its gone."

Regina took in a deep breath "Was anyone hurt?" Both mine and Regina's gaze went to Roland.

Robin looked to Roland and back to Regina letting out a breath in relief "Luckily no…." he looked back to his son again and back to Regina "Again I have to apologize. You trusted me, and I let you down."

"No, you didn't" Regina said to him "Nothings worth the loss of a child…. trust me I know." She glanced back at me.

"But now…" we all looked to where the voice was coming from "We have a problem."

"Peter…." He walked over to me as Robin and Regina watched him carefully.

"I'm afraid I don't follow. "Robin said in confusion "Who is this?"

Peter stood close to me as he looked to Robin and Regina.

"Pans, right…." Regina said looking to all of us "I'm alive."

I knew where this was going, and Peter knew too.

Robin rubbed his head. "Sorry, still don't follow."

"Rumples taken her heart, and since she hasn't crushed and killed her yet, that means she needs it for something worse." I stated looking at him.

Robin had a worried and confuse look on his face. "What can be worse than murder?"

"Oh, there are many things worse than murder mate." Peter look at Robin, as he raised his brow and slightly grinned as he did.

Regina looked at me and I looked at Peter. I walked away from Regina and Robin, Peter followed. when we were well enough away from them I turned back to Peter "Do you know what Zelena is casting?"

Peter came up to me and wrapped his arms around me "I have a hunch, but I'm not sure yet." Peter rubbed his hand down my cheek "I needed to make sure that you were ok, before I go digging a little deeper."

I smirked up at him "I'm ok…. you'd know if I wasn't."

"I know…" Peter leaned down to kiss me deeply.

He turned to disappear "Peter…." he turned back to me, I gave him a glare that he only knew "Do what you have to."

"Don't worry love…I will." He gave me a wink along with his little smirk and disappeared.

—

Later on, I found myself with Regina rummaging through Rumples shop, trying to find something that would help us. "This is all useless crap!"

I heard Regina say frustration. "Its only crap, until you need something." I said to her, while I was going through some things.

"Hey, hey, hey stop! Stop it! Both of you!" Belle ran in as we both continued to throw around things. "Wha…what are you two looking for?"

"We need to destroy my sister, she has my heart." Regina said quickly looking around

"Ohh…." Belle back away quickly

"Oh Relax…she can't control me with it, I protected it from that." Regina said nonchalantly as she walked around still looking through books. I turned back to the shelf that I was looking through, hopefully I would stumble upon my daggers, but I had no such luck.

I turned my attention back to Regina and Belle "The problem is…" I started "We don't know what she plans on using it for." I walked around to the front of counter "Which is why we need to take her out."

"Which is why we need your help." Regina and I both stood in front of Belle. "So, what do you have here?"

Belle took a step back "What do I have here? Self-respect." She looked between Regina and I. "Why on earth or in any realm, would I help you two!?…. the woman who imprisoned me in a tower in her castle, then put me in an asylum for twenty-eight years; who's done nothing but mentally and physically torture me…ever since we've known each other." she then turned to me and scowled even more "and you… you're even worse than her." she motioned to Regina "you almost killed me…twice!"

I smirked and arched my brow at her "Looks like the bookworm has claws."

"Both of you…. get out." Belle glared

"Ok…yes we have done those horrible things….in the past." I started glaring back at her "but right now we need something to defeat the woman who is playing puppet with your Rumple, and unless you help us, you might not see him again." I was hard at the end, hoping to get my point across.

Belles gaze soften. "I'm sorry…" I looked at Regina, who was apologizing? "I really, really am."

I looked back at Belle who was looking at me "I'm not apologizing, but choose for yourself."

Belle was silent for a couple of minutes while she looked around and finally back at us with a deep sigh "So, I've been trying to match the ingredients that Zelena's been collecting. Whatever spell she intends to cast, it would really help if I knew what so special about your heart…...does she just want it because your sisters, or…"

"I have no idea…" Regina breathed out. I took a step back and leaned on the counter "The Candle…." I looked up and Regina started to rummage again.

"A candle?" I looked at her confused.

"Where's the candle?" Regina walked around. Belle went over and picked up a candelabra "Not that liberace, the two-sided candle Snow used to kill my mother."

I looked at Regina. I had no idea that Snow killed Cora. I heard horrible things about her, but hearing that still put a sour taste in my mouth.

Belle went to a drawer and pulled out the black and white candle "Its power is gone. Now it's just a relic."

"Yes, that's it." Regina rushed over to her and took it, she turned and looked to me "This isn't about how my mother died…this is about how she lived."

Regina and I both appeared back at her house. Looking down I noticed my heels were ruined. "Just so you know, you owe me a new pair of Louboutin's."

"When we destroy Zelena, I'll get you anything you want." Regina went into the kitchen and started pulling things out, started making something.

I followed her into the kitchen "Why didn't you tell me that Snow killed Cora?"

Regina continued to bustle about the kitchen "I don't know, I really didn't think that it was relevant, besides, why do you care?"

"Well she was my grandmother…."

Regina stopped and looked at me "She's the one that got rid of you…." she bluntly stated. "I was always pissed at mother, I even banished her to wonderland, because I was so pissed off."

"You banished her to wonderland?" I looked at her.

Regina nodded "Now call the others, we're going to have a séance."

I called the others to tell them to come to Regina's, also telling Peter what we were doing. He showed up immediately like always. "It's a risky ritual…," He started off, we sat on the couch in the sitting room by ourselves. "There's not a one hundred percent chance that she'll come through."

I shrugged my shoulders "Regina thinks it's a good starting point…I'm not entirely sold on the idea."

Snow and Charming walked in going straight into the den where Regina was setting up. I looked back to Peter. Everyone was arriving, so Peter and I went into the den where Hook was sitting with an apple in is hand. The fact that we were holding an apple in the evil queen's house was slightly comical. I looked at him and sat down at the round wooden table beside Snow, Peter smirked and sat down beside me across from Charming.

Snow and Charming were bickering about baby names, then Emma walked in taking her jacket of. She looked down at Hook "I'd watch out for the apples in this house."

"Aye."

"It was a joke…where's your sense of humor?" Emma continued with her jacket.

"It left when the witch arrived." Hook stood up and came over to the table.

I leaned onto the table "Well hopefully we're going to take care of that…."

"Regina said she has a plan…" Emma chimed in

"I'm sure she does." Hook glared

Peter was leaning back in his chair rubbing his temples. I knew he was annoyed. He wasn't used to all this bickering, and to him….it was all below him. "No, we didn't." I looked over to Snow and Charming. "Emma, will you please tell your mother, that we're not naming your brother 'Leopold'."

"It was my father's name!" Snow said raising her brow.

"People will make fun of him." Charming responded

"My father was a king!" Snow sternly glared.

"Which is why no one made fun of him…"

"Well what about…

"Guys!" I interrupted "Please whatever you name your kid… I'm sure will be perfect." I leaned back in my chair rolling my neck around starting to get a headache. I looked back to Peter…. I'm pretty sure he already had one.

Finally, Regina came in "Sorry to keep you waiting." She came in holding a tray and silver teapot. "I was making this special tea." She started pouring in all of the tiny silver cups when Charming went to take a sip "No! Don't drink it!….It's a deadly poison for summoning the dark vortex."

Charming set his cup down "I prefer earl grey…"

Peter rolled his eyes "Why'd you have to interrupt him….it would've been a lot quieter in here." I looked at Peter. "You were thinking it…Don't deny it." Everyone looked to us. I sarcastically smiled as I lightly punched Peters leg. "ouch…" He rubbed his leg.

"Anyways…." Regina continued "Zelena came by this morning, while the Dark One was stealing my heart…She was here gloating…." Regina sat down and look to everyone else since I was here with her. "She said that my weakness was that I don't know enough about her past, so I decided to summon someone who does." She looked down, hesitating her next words. "We have to talk to my mother." she looked at Snow.

"Is it that simple?" Emma questioned with concern.

Peter grinned and leaned forward "It's a fairly simple ritual…but not often performed."

Emma glared at Peter. "If it's easy to talk to the dead, why not do it more?"

Peter chuckled "Why don't you answer that Regina." Peter again leaned back in his chair. Peter here was probably more familiar with this type of magic than anyone. Here, he was the most powerful out of anyone here in the room. "I'm quite proud of you for trying such a thing." I for one already knew the answer to this question.

"Because…." Regina started answering her question and took a deep breath. "because you need the murder weapon….and the murderer."

Snow took a breath in and looked down. I looked to her with a glare and looked back up. Emma than looked to me like she was 'keeping an eye' on me. I arched a brow and Regina struck a match and lit the candle. "What do we need to do?" Emma asked

"Focus on Cora…." Regina simply said as everyone begin to join hands.

"Welcoming thoughts…..." Hook said nonchalantly

We all sat in silence and focusing thoughts on Cora. The grandmother I never knew. I didn't know how this was all going to come about. I didn't know her at all, I've just heard about her….and her evil ways. For a few moments, it was quiet. Suddenly the was a slight breeze. I could feel the fire go out, the cold chill set in. I gripped Peters hand a little tighter. He squeezed back letting me know he was there and wasn't going anywhere without me.

There was a sudden chill in the air. Than a crashing sound of a dark vortex appearing in the ceiling of the den. "We did it!" Snow exclaimed as everyone looked up.

"Cora!" Regina yelled "Mother can you hear us!" I hear Regina trying to make contact but nothing was coming through "Mother give us a sign!….Do not ignore me now, mother!…..Please you owe me this!"

The table suddenly shook, startling Snow "Oh!" breaking the circle.

"Sorry love, that was me. I crossed my legs and bumped the table." Hook rubbed behind his ear.

Regina gave sadden sigh and blew out the candle.

"Do we try again?" asked Snow

"No…There's no point…..it worked….the portal opened…but nothing came from it…..she doesn't want to talk to me." Regina looked and looked to me "So whatever secrets she has lying in the past…she wants to keep there."

everyone got up and proceeded out into the foyer. Peter was right behind me along with Regina and Snow.

"Maybe Belle will have more luck, there has to be something that can help us." Charming walked out in front of us turning around to face Emma, Hook, Peter and myself.

Emma walked around confidently "My magic gets more powerful every day, by the time this goes down, I'll be ready."

I glanced at her "Let's hope so…. savior." Peter stood beside me firmly.

Regina came out from behind us. "Make sure that you are." With that she gave a defeated sigh.

"Come on let's go…." Emma walked out with Hook behind her and Charming followed

"Ya know I'm gonna stay with Regina." Snow looked at her "I'll help clean up…." Charming nodded and walked out.

I looked up to Peter than to Regina "do you want me to stay too?" I arched a brow at her

"No…you two go, I'll be ok." I nodded with that Peter and both disappeared.

Peter and I were back at our house, appearing in the main living room with fireplace going. I turned to go upstairs…. "I know what Zelenas up to…"

"Wait? … what!" I turned back to Peter "What do you know? What is she up too?" I quickly questioned

"I've done a lot of digging..." Peter turned and sat on the couch, putting his arms up on the back of the couch in a relaxing way. "I even had to resort to my old ways for some things…..." Peter gave me glare along with an evil smirk.

"So…." I gave him evil smirk back.

"She's planning on doing a time travel spell…." Peter walked up to me "With the ingredients she has and is going to get with Snow and Charming's baby, it's the only possible thing she could be conjuring."

I walked over to him, spreading my legs on either side of him I sat down on his lap facing him. Peter ran his finger down my cheek "By some miraculous way, Zelena thinks she's going to be successful …. but you and I both know that she's not going to be."

I wrapped my hands around his neck "No she's not…"
