Touching Souls

Emma

Emma was aboard the Jolly Roger along together with Snow, Charming, Hook, Mr. Gold and…Regina. She was sit in a discrete wood box over the bow, staring the distance, no one really paying attention into her expression or even guessing her thoughts. At least, no one that she was aware off. She surely had a lot on her mind, worried sick with Henry, trying to figure out why he had been kidnaped, and who was behind it, using the stupid pawns now known as Greg and Tamara…She doesn't know what to expect once they arrive in Neverland. Magic and the acknowledge that have overwhelmed her due to breaking the curse and finally face the truth about her origins , have been a completely turning point for her. Everything she knew before Storybrook, before Henry showing up in her place at Boston, seemed now so 'ancient history'. Thinking of Neal or Baefire as she was getting used to think of him, made her body shake a little. Their last moments, when they had admitted still loving each other just to be left again… Alone, again. For a long time. Again. AS ALWAYS in her life. Neal had been the only one that made a way through her barriers, and he had made her believe it could last forever. That she would never be feeling lonely again. But he left her. He left her and she had to put up with jail and without seeing any way out, she had to give her son away. Something she tried to convince herself it was for the best, but never really forgiven herself for doing it. Never forgiving him for leaving. For breaking her heart and the promise he once had made. Yes, she loved him. In a way. Not really as she thought , and neither as she said 'I love you' in what she believed, were his last moments.

A deep and chilly wind passed through her and she felt completely alone, somehow distracted from her first thoughts. Just then, a glimpse made her look sideways just to catch a gaze fixed on her. Regina. The Evil Queen. No… Just…Someone as damaged as her, she admitted to herself. Something really powerful had happened when she joined the brunette to try to stop the security device that would wipe away Storybrook for good. She knew Regina was trying to change, was trying to prove her love for Henry. She had been trying for some time now… She might have lost it a few times, when her sick mother had managed to come to town, but again, after the experience she had, that they shared, trying to save everyone containing the magic from the diamond, brought many more thoughts to Emma's mind. Their eyes locked for a few seconds, lost in memories of that moment. A moment neither of them would forget. Regina was the first to break contact, leaving Emma to her contemplation, going back then when Regina said: "I won't be able to contain it much longer." And remembered herself saying: "You maybe not strong enough, but together we are" and joining Regina in front of the blue magical ball of energy, she felt a rash all over her body, the feeling of magic running through her veins, her power getting in touch with Regina's, fighting the thing. Together. Their eyes locked in each other's; putting all efforts to stop what might be the end of everyone they cared about. That might be the end of…Everything. It was just then when it happened: A huge wave of Regina's purple power took over Emma's body, taking the blond inside the brunette's soul. She could see the Queen's whole life passing through. She could feel…Everything. She could feel Regina's heart breaking when she saw Cora squeezing Daniel's heart…The life vanishing and leaving his eyes. All the loneliness, all the sadness, all the emptiness struggling to be fulfilled for something. Anything. Until she gave in into darkness and sorrow. She saw all the goodness inside that woman and how come the anger, the need for vengeance was the only way she found to survive. And she felt the brunette's love for Henry. The son EMMA gave away. And that Regina's loved like he was her own.

While Emma was experiencing this, The Queen was took for a wave of silvered blue power, that invaded her and led her inside the blond's soul…So she also was able to see the Sheriff's whole life…And feel everything. All the loneliness and rejection, pulling from one home to another, no one really caring for her. No one loving her… She could see Emma's heart be broken when Neal left, the pain of giving her son away when she had nowhere to go and nowhere to turn. When she was in Jail paying for Neal's crime. And she could feel all the regret, all the emptiness…All the pain. And in the moment both woman ended the journeys into each other's soul, there was a big explosion and they were tossed apart with the impact and the device just…Stoped. They did it… Together!

Hello guys. This is my first Fanfic ever. I have a guideline story already in my mind, but surely I will accept and welcome any tips, comments and ideas you might have to keep up the writing. I've been completely overwhelmed by Once Upon a Time, and also by the characters portrait as Regina Mills/Evil Queen and Emma Swan/The Savior. I really do hope you like it.

This story accepts all that happened within the 2 first seasons of OUaT, respecting all directions characters have been following so far. However, due to fanfiction freedom for imagination, I will add some flashbacks according to my own desire and entirely up to my instincts related to what I think it would be a perfect follow up for the already described events.

Romance/Drama and Swan Queen completely.

Please fellows, review! And let me know what you think! Your reviews might be exactly what I need to through myself in this and do better! Thanks!
