This idea came to me while listening to Saliva-Bleed for me Read and Review hope you enjoy

Damn you Miss Swan, you insufferable woman, why did you do this?" Were the current thoughts running through the former Mayors head

15 minutes before

"Why won't you let me help you, every single person out there wants to kill you, you need my help" Emma was starting to get frustrated with the woman.

"I don't need your help or anyone's help. I can deal with this on my own Miss Swan. Is that all?"

Emma scoffs

"Yeah you can certainly deal with it. Whale had you against the wall, every other person has easy access to objects that can kill. Granny has a fucking crossbow." The blonde stresses.

"I have magic"

"No you don't I saw, you had nothing"

Silence. The only sound is of their breathing. Regina licks her lips before talking up,

"This is MY problem; I will deal with it MY own way" She steps closer to Emma.

"They'll kill you" The blonde tries again

"Why do you care so much; Why do you care what they do to me. You're meant to save them from me not the other way around, why do you insist that you help me. Why do you have to save me?"

The two women stare each other down, noses touching . Emma opens her mouth to speak but is interrupted by a loud crash. Both women spin round to face the now open doorway where Whale has just kicked in. He stands there calmly before raising his arm aiming at Regina. He pulls a trigger.

"NO"

A loud bang echoes around and outside the mansion. David, who was standing across from the mansion runs and tackles Whale down. He looks up and sees Regina across the room on the floor and Emma on her back blood quickly pooling around her.

"EMMA" he cries out

Regina looks behind her at the woman who pushed her out of harm's way, she crawls over to her

"No no no Emma" She applies pressure to Emma's wound. She pushes some of Emma's hair out of her face, "Stay with me Emma okay, someone's coming"

Damn you Miss Swan, you insufferable woman, why did you do this?" Were the current thoughts running through the former Mayors head.

"You wanted to know why I wanted to save you" Emma speaks breathlessly

"No Emma shh, be quiet for once and save you strength"

"The reason is why I saved you from that fire, although I didn't know it then, it's the reason I push Whale of you and why I pushed you out of the way of a bullet. I love you. You are a bitch and you make me so god damn angry sometimes but I can't help but love you. I love you Regina Mills" she gets that out, her eyes flutter.

"Emma stays with me please, don't leave me please" Regina pleads with tears rolling down her face she can hear Emma's shallow breathing, she places her head on Emma's chest and sobs.

"Don't go"
