Ivy's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint settling in them. "Well, I don't want Ruby in this family anymore. You're going to have to choose, Mother. It's either her… or me."
Regina stared at her, stunned. "What?"
"I'm serious. I'm not going to stand by and watch you protect her. Either she's out of this family for good—permanently—or I am."
Regina's voice rose. "Have you lost your mind? You're asking me to choose between my daughters? Do you know what that even means?"
"Why are you acting like you care now?" Ivy snapped. "Have you ever supported Ruby in anything? It's always been me! You've always been on my side!"
"Yes, I have," Regina said tightly. "But that doesn't mean I want one of my children dead."
"Well maybe you don't have a choice anymore," Ivy said darkly.
Regina's voice dropped, her words sharp with disbelief. "You really are out of your mind."
Without another word, Ivy spun on her heel and stormed into the kitchen.
