Inspired by One Tree Hill, fans of the programme you will understand the idea! Unfortunately I do not own either One Tree Hill or Once Upon A Time :( please let me know what you think!

Also to cover myself a trigger warning for the shooting although I have not wrote anything too graphic.

Chapter 1

They first started as enemies then friends and now, now they were together, only it was currently a secret as no one else knew about them. It wasn't that they were ashamed or embarrassed of each other, neither was it that they purposely hid their new relationship but they preferred to be alone for now, to see where they would end up and whether it would work in case they got hurt. Either way, both Emma and Regina knew that if they were caught or got asked about their status, they wouldn't deny it as they deeply cared for one another. They never had dates as such but they constantly spent their time in each other's company and wouldn't have it any other way because they loved being with one another even though they had yet to reveal whether they felt the 'L' word yet.

"So what do you fancy for dinner?" Emma asks as she walks along the street before turning into a building.

Regina pauses tidying her desk briefly to think then raises an eyebrow while balancing the phone between her chin and shoulder while she stores the last of her reports away. "Do you mean, what do I fancy which you can sneak out of Granny's? No questions asked?"

Rolling her eyes, the blonde comes to a standstill in the mayor's office doorway and smiles seeing the brunette who has yet to see the blonde. "Funny Regina but I was being serious, I want to buy you dinner.." Ending the call once the mayor looks towards the nearby voice, Emma then walks over, shoving her phone into her pocket and embraces the brunette, pulling her close by her waist with a cheeky smile. "Hi.."

Regina smirks as she takes hold of the sheriff's forearms. "Hello dear"

Looking playful, Emma glances over to the woman's desk. "Do you know how much I want to make out with you on your desk right now?"

"I would say a lot however I have just tidied it.." Cringing slightly, the brunette then smiles seeing the blonde look at her in awe.

"Then I guess I will just have to settle for making out here instead" the sheriff nuzzles her nose then kisses the mayor softly on the lips.

Not having chance to kiss back, Regina pulls away having heard a throat clear before the inevitable happens. As both women look towards Sydney who as entered the office, neither one has time to react as it was unexpected.

"You ruined my career...still the same old Evil Queen! Well you are going to pay.." Glancing between the pair clearly not in the right mind, Sydney raises the gun from behind his back. "You and your bit on the side" Pointing the gun first at the brunette then the blonde, the crazed man fires hitting Regina in the abdomen and Emma in the middle of her chest. Both immediately dropping once hit. Staring at the two women on the ground, Sydney drops the gun disorientated then walks out, leaving the women to bleed out onto the marble floor. Emma still with her arm looped across Regina's waist protectively.

Strolling along the corridor to the mayor's office, Snow sighs as she listens in on Emma's voicemail message that has picked up her call for the third time after constant ringing. "Emma..answer your phone..." Moving towards the door, the short haired woman puts her phone back in her pocket before knocking then opening the office door to step inside. "Regina, have you spoken to Emma today she's not at the-" eyes widening in horror at the sight before her, Snow falls backwards towards the wall, gripping at the doorframe as her legs grow wobbly and begin to give way. Suddenly dropping to her knees, the woman begins to sob hysterically as she reaches back inside her pocket for her phone and calling for help while keeping her eyes focused on her unconscious daughter in a pool of blood in front of her.
