Ok so this is going to be a little out of the ordinary. A few days ago I was PMed by someone who wants to stay anon at the moment with a proposal. They wanted to write a fanfic, even had a plot out line and a general map of the chapters done up. But according to themselves they didn't have the patience to write out a proper story so they asked me If I'd do it for them~ I figure it'll be good practise since I've never really written anything before so hope you enjoy I guess?

Still no Beta either so Apologies for mistakes that I've missed


"You can do this, it's just a few more steps and you'll be home free." Emma staggered from her car and just made it to the door of her apartment that she shared with Mary Margret before shooting pains in her stomach caused her to double over in pain. Gasping out and Dropping her keys to the ground in the process, she reached down for them almost falling over.

Snatching them up she cried out in pain unable to stop herself, it was getting worse and she had to get inside before it was too late. Finally getting the right key she shoved it in the lock and opened the door and went inside half slamming it behind her. Stumbling inside she fell yelling out in pain, feeling as if a red hot poker were being stabbed into her stomach and cruelly twisted.

She didn't know how she had let it get this bad. Trying to find the parents of the two kids she had caught stealing had taken up her time and she had been so focused on that she forgot her own unique problem. Crying out again she clutched her stomach and fell to the floor biting her lip desperately trying to quiet down her yells. She was suddenly incredibly thankful that Mary Margret had decided to go out clubbing with ruby and would no doubt spend the night at hers. She didn't think that she would be able to come up with a plausible excuse for her current condition.

Crouched over clutching her stomach she made slowly made her way to her bedroom stopping at random intervals to lean against a wall when the pain got too much. Finally stumbling into her room she half lunged towards the Mini fridge she kept beside her bed. Wrenching the door open she cried out although this time not from pain but from horror.

It was empty.

"No that's not possible, how could it be empty?!" She thought horrified staring open mouthed at the fridge, trying desperately to remember where all its contents could be. Her thinking was hampered by the fact that every few seconds now pain took over all her senses and made her double over. Each time she cried out in pain unable to stop herself.

It had been hard, her first few weeks here trying to find a regular source. It was much easier in Boston, as well as having regular contacts, there was always a time when someone wasn't looking if she ever found herself caught short.

However here in small quaint Storybrooke it was much harder. Luckily she came across a deliver van not so long ago and was able to lift a box when no one was looking, she had gotten the report in at the sheriff's office and had worked with them to come to a conclusion that it must have just gotten lost when being delivered.

"Wait that was a month ago" the sudden realisation dawning on her. With everything that was happening she had being going through her supply quicker than usual and while she was blissfully pain free for one moment it all added up in her head. It was her fault she had nothing and now she was in this state with nothing that could be done to fix it

"Well apart from the obvious" the quick thought being banished from her head. No she wouldn't resort to that. It was too risky.

Sitting up on the floor she started intently at the ground, face twisting in agony when the pain returned worse than before

"You can do this Swan, it's just pain, you can make it go away. You're going to be fine."

If she could just get herself under control she could make it to the hospital and things would be ok. She just had to focus. She wasn't sure how long she stayed sitting there occasionally crying out when the pain shot through her. But soon through sheer willpower the pain subsided enough that she could stand and walk around without crying out.

"Ok swan just have to get to the hospital. You can do this" mentally encouraging herself she took a deep breath and went back towards the front door. Opening it she jumped in surprise as she was surprised to see someone with their hand raised ready to knock, surprise also evident on her face.

"Oh no...Please not you, anyone but you"

Wincing as whit hot pain flashed in her stomach she managed a small thin lipped smile and managed spit out past gritted teeth;

"Hello mayor mills, what can I do for you?"


"I must be mad" Regina thought to herself as she drove the few short miles to where she knew the blonde lived. Yes the woman had saved the children from being separated but her smugness at proving Regina wrong irritated her as did many things about the woman. Yet here she was going to the house to thank her for her work. She tried to tell herself that it was all for Henry, whose eyes lit up when he heard that Emma was successful in finding their father and for the first time in a long while Regina got to listen to him as he excitedly told her of his plans to go playing with his new friends over the weekend.

Thinking of just that brought a smile to her face as she pulled in just above the sheriff's dilapidated yellow car. It was almost like the old henry was back, the one that always greeted his mother with a kiss , hug and a smile and loved talking about his day to her, not the one who shot mistrusting glances at her and who barely said two words to her from day to day. Scowling at the unpleasant turn her thoughts had taken she exited her car and made her way over to the door.

Bracing herself for the irritating force that was miss swan she raised her hand to knock on the door her thoughts focused on how she was going to say thank you yet not make it seem as if it were herself who was doing it.

She jumped however when the door swung open just before her hand connected to it and there was swan who looked surprised to see her. That wasn't what caught Regina notice though.

Emma looked absolutely awful. Hunched over as if she had a pain in her stomach, her normally bright eyes were dull and lifeless and she had very dark circles under her eyes. She was more pale than usual.

She was just about to open her mouth to comment on her appearance with a snide quip about late nights and procrastinating on work when swan spoke

"Hello Mayor Mills what can I do for you?"

Regina was suprised by Swans tone, she sounded exhausted and for lack of a better word, ill.

Regina penned her mouth to reply but the words never made it out of her mouth Emma doubled over in pain crying out softy, clutching at her stomach

"Swan what's wrong?" Regina reached out and put a hand on the woman's shoulder to try and see what the problem was, all previous intents forgotten.


Emma stood waiting for the mayor to reply, silently begging every single deity she had herd of that the woman would just go. Taking in a small shaky breath she cried out doubling over clutching at her stomach.

"oh no…I should have done that "she thought wincing as the smell of the mayor took over her senses as she closed her eyes tightly trying to block out the woman in front of her

"No no no please go it's not safe "her panicked thoughts coming quickly. She had to leave or she had to get the other woman too otherwise Emma would be able to keep her safe.

Feeling a hand placed gently on her shoulder she jerked back, eyes flying open as if she was struck by lighting

"No stop!" she yelled out hoping the other woman would back off.

It was too late, with another flash of pain she felt her vision dimming. She could feel herself stumbling backwards a growl coming out of a mouth that she couldn't control anymore. Watching from eyes that were no longer her own she saw Regina with a very uncharacteristic look of concern over her face walk towards Emma arm still outreached as if to comfort her

"No no no not her don't her hurt her please not her" but her silent please fell on deaf ears, in a movement too quick to see Emma had grabbed Regina and shoved her up against the wall holding her by the throat.

Emma could feel her face pulled up into a monstrous grin and a growl coming from deep within her chest. Emma watched as her body effortlessly lifted the mayor up by her throat one handed and leaned in close to her neck and inhaled deeply, another growl sounding out as she exhaled

"No! Stop it your stronger than this leave her alone you can't hurt her STOP!" Emma's frantic shouting inside her own mind made the force controlling her body stop and lowered the mayor who was rapidly losing oxygen back to the floor and slightly released its grip so the woman could breathe but not escape from its grasp.

Regina coughed furiously trying desperately to bring as much air as possible back into her lungs panic and fear raging insider of her. Trying to move out of Emma's grasp was useless and she brought her eyes back to the face that was now mere inched from her own. Regina gasped at what she saw.

Emma whose face was usually beautifully sweet even when glaring at her was twisted up into a fierce snarl, sharp fangs that Regina could have sworn weren't there a few moments ago clenched together. Her eyes shocked Regina the most, blood red eyes looked back into her own brown ones and Regina saw nothing but fury in them and what she thought looked a lot like desire which sent a shiver down her spine. She was in trouble.

Suddenly Emma or whatever it was that was in control of her shook its head and the features changed almost instantly softening into a look of absolute horror she looked back up to Regina's face and Regina saw tears prickling at the corner of still ruby red eyes.

"No stop please I can't hurt her not her please let her go" Emma croaked out her tone so scared that even in her current position Regina wanted nothing more than to console her.

"Swa-..Emma…Emma look at me", tear-filled red eyes bored into Regina's brown ones," its ok you can let me go. It's alright." Emma started shaking and with what looked like a supreme effort her hand released its grip and she took a step back. Regina breathed a sigh of relief rubbing her hand around her now very sore throat

Argh, the anguished cry caused her to turn to look at Emma, who was now on the floor clutching her stomach crying out, Regina took a hesitant step towards her unsure of what to do, fear making her movements hesitant.

"Emma" she said softly afraid and unsure of what to do.


Emma fought with all her might to get her hand to release her hold on Regina and felt relief when she felt her arm obey her command. Fighting for control of her body she managed to take a shaky step back and turned from the mayor unable to bring herself to look at the pain she just caused

"This is all your fault" she thought bitterly to herself before she fell to the floor crying out in pain, it was back with a vengeance.

She could hear her name being softly called but she knew that if she turned towards it she would lose control again and the thought of hurting Regina terrified her

"No" she shouted out, voice hoarse with pain", I can't, ill hurt you please go I'm not safe"

Curling into a ball she felt tears start falling down her face, sobbing gently she felt her body shake, exhausted from the battle that had just raged inside it. Felling a familiar darkness creep over her she surrendered to it, knowing that sleep would bring her peace from the pain and the risk of hurting anyone at least for the time being. Just before she fell asleep she felt something warm on her arm and what she could have sword was a soft voice saying something that sounded like her name but sleep took her before she could figure it out.


Regina was never one for getting overwhelmed but it seemed now was the time, shaking from fear and pain, she was quite out of her depth. Emma curled tightly into a ball on the floor was crying, or at least she was but seemed to be falling asleep exhausted by whatever it was had just happened

"I think I may be in shock" she thought to herself as she looked at Emma, eyes wide still rubbing her throat which was quite painful. She couldn't quite wrap her head around what had just happened. Something was wrong with her and Regina seemed to set it off, she had noticed that during the day Emma was a bit off, taking a little longer to fire back a snappy response to any of her comments and she did seem to be rubbing her stomach quite a bit but Regina seemed to be the only one that noticed anything was out of the ordinary with her, she even went as far to ask henry if she was alright to which he barely answered her but told her nothing was wrong and she was sure her was all suspicious in case the evil queen had done something to her.

Deep down she had always been very curious about the woman and at first she had thought it was because she was the saviour and that she was here to break her curse or even worse take her son away from her and she just wanted to know everything there was about her enemy but more and more often lately Emma had been creeping into her thoughts in a non-negative way but never had she once imagined that Emma was capable of violence like this

"Almost as if she's…" Regina stopped, almost as if she's what? There was no magic here, Regina made sure of that before she sent them all, but the strength and speed that Swan just showed was nothing short of magical.

"Emma" she said out loud looking over to the now sleeping woman, what in the world are you?"


Well then that's the first chapter (and yes I'm sure it's not that hard to figure out what Emma is), R+R if you want us to upload the next few :)
