Authors Note: Hi all. I'm not sure how long this'll be. Just wanted to get it up. I can't make any promises about its direction as of now. Anyway I hope you like it! And disclaimer: only this plot belongs to me the characters etc. do not (obviously).
Regina stumbled towards town. Her knees were cut up and covered in dirt. Her legs bruised and blood seeping between her fingers from the wound on her stomach. She had used all of her power in that last burst of magic. Now her only hope was to reach Emma before her mother reached her. Finally she was running down the sidewalk on the block of the police station. Throwing the door open she finally fell to the ground.
"Emma!" She propped herself up against the door. "Cora's coming!"
"Regina?" Emma ran to the door. "Oh god…" she gasped when she saw what the queen had been reduced to. "Snow! Charming!"
"I'm so sorry. I tried" A tear escaped Regina's eye.
"No, no don't be sorry." Emma couldn't imagine what it must be like to have a mother who would do this to you. In all her daydreams when she was in foster care, she never imagined that there could be such an awful mother.
"Are you alright?" her eyes landed on the blood on Regina's hands.
"I will be fine. She's coming for Henry; you have to stop her. I used all my magic."
"What is it Emma?" Snow arrived winded. "Oh Regina." Snow dropped to her knees.
"I'm fine, you have to help Henry." Suddenly Regina coughed and a bubble of blood came to her lips. She tried to wipe it away before anyone saw but it was too late.
"You're not fine. You need a doctor."
"I'll go for Cora. You two get Regina help." Before anyone had time to argue Emma was out the door.
"You two go Emma needs you." A bruise was beginning to appear around her left eye.
"She's right, Emma doesn't know what she's getting herself into," Regina let a sad smile tug at the corners of her mouth. For a moment she almost believed that someone might help her, "But the others will be there to help her. Right now you need us more."
"Thank you." Regina stared at the ground the words felt strange in her mouth.
