Author's Note: I decided to write again so I may be a bit rusty, so here's to a new start. Please let me know if you like it. This is a short chapter, because it's basically just setting the scene. Don't worry chapter two will come soon after.
AU: After Hook's death, the only person who knows what Emma is going through is Regina, their relationship grows from there. A little slow burn…
Chapter One: The Silent Promise
They'd all just witnessed it. Snow, Charming, Henry, Robin, Regina, they were all there. The moment that changed Emma's life. Hook had done terrible things and he decided to pay the ultimate price for it. Death. Maybe he did it because of his guilt, or maybe he did it for the good of all, or maybe even for Emma. But either way, there he laid as a sword just tore through his body with Emma holding his hand, begging him to come back to her. Sirens of help flooded the air, yet everything seemed to be silent. They all watched the scene unfold. The dead lover was covered in a sheet then taken in the ambulance. Emma watched with hot tears streaming down her face, her body not leaving the space she stood at after her love had been ripped from her. There were no words that could describe the heartbreak she was experiencing. After a few moments Snow was the first to move to the broken hearted. She enclosed her arms around her trembling daughter; Charming followed close behind, gently coming to comfort his family. Regina watched, holding Henry close to her. Tears were flooding in the once evil queen's eyes. She hated to see Emma go through this. One of the worst tragedies in the world is to witness the death of your love. She knew all about it. She knew the agony, the loneliness, the denial, the heartbreak, the feeling that nothing will ever be the same again, the feeling that there is no happiness left for you. As Regina watched Emma breaking down into her mother's arms, she promised to help her. She'd help heal her in any way possible. It was this connection between them neither of them could define, maybe it was just a friendship but more. She didn't know. But Regina knew one thing, she'd help Emma Swan get through this.
