TW: rape and kidnapping

Regina growled yet laughed as she pried her lips away from her boyfriend's.

"Hey," Daniel reached out cupping the back of her neck. "Come back here," he tried to pull her back in to him.

Regina allowed one last peck before putting her hands on his shoulders and pushing him away, "Babe we have to go." She started giggling as Daniel began to attack her neck with his lips. "They're singing the birthday song," she held up a finger in warning.

In the background, they could hear the band playing and the crowd singing Feliz Cumpleanos a Ti to her sister.

Daniel pulled back from her with a frown. He squeezed his eyes shut and blew out a breath. He grabbed her hand and interlaced their fingers, "come on then. Let's get this over with."

Regina laughed at the annoyed look across his face. Daniel was normally an extremely laid back guy. And even though Zelena wasn't exactly a favorite of either of theirs, she was still her older sister. And this birthday was a big one.

Her parents had rented out a local dance club to host a party for Zelena's sweet 16. She'd had a QuinceaƱera the year before but she'd sworn that she deserved another over the top bash that cost more than their wedding since it was tradition.

Even as a baby she'd had a tendency for dramatics and had gone on an entire campaign screeching about how she never got anything for weeks. She'd driven the entire family up the wall before their parents finally caved.

Papi had promised that soon it was her turn. But her 15th birthday was still more than 9 months away. For a teenager, that felt like a lifetime.

In the meantime, she had to put on a happy face and cheer for her spoiled older sister. She threw her arms around his neck and raised herself up on her tiptoes to deliver another longer kiss. She poured all of the love that she felt for him into this one before pulling away, "I promise after this. It will be just the two of us."

Daniel smiled and nodded in that way that made her knees go weak as his gorgeous blue eyes twinkled at her, "I'm going to hold you to that one."

She waggled her eyebrows, "Promise?"

He gave her a mock glare, "Vixen."

She laughed in response as they moved out from their hiding spot. They'd managed to find an unoccupied unlit corner in the VIP section of the club so that they could spend time away from the distractions of the party. Reluctantly, they began to make their way over to the stage area where Zelena preened and everyone, including their parents, gathered around her singing to her. As they drew nearer the stage Regina stopped, "damn it!"

Daniel looked at her surprised since she seldom used swears, "what?"

Regina pointed to the area just behind her sister where a table overflowing with gifts sat, "I forgot her present." She rolled her eyes in annoyance. She drew in a breath, "I'll have to run out to the car to get it," she pulled her hand away from Daniel's and started to head toward the door.

"Wait, I'll come with you!" he yelled after her and made to follow her.

She was already in the midst of a half jog and had already reached the door when she turned back and shook her head, "I'll just be gone a minute. I'll be right back."

Daniel watched her go with a frown on his face. He turned back to the staging area where Zelena was just slicing into the insanely large birthday cake. It was covered in white frosting but when she slicked through the red velvet crumbs began to show through. He pasted a fake smile on his face and surged forward with the crowd as they all began to line up to give their good wishes and receive their slice of cake.

Regina shivered from the cold that greeted her outside. She ran her hands up and down her arms wishing she'd chosen a better outfit. She'd opted for a strapless purple taffeta gown that pulled in at the waist with a big bow before billowing out and ending at the knees. Her strappy silver heels matched the thin silver tiara that her Father had given her.

She didn't want to be out there. But she knew her sister well. Once the cake was cut, she would immediately start attacking her presents. It would be embarrassing for her only sibling to not have a gift for her.

She hurried over to the car and reached underneath the rear bumper where they kept the spare key. She had just unlocked the door and had leaned into the back of the SUV when she heard a male voice say, "excuse me."

She gasped as she began to turn since she had thought she was alone. But before she could make it all of the way around searing pain began to flood her system. The last thing she remembered was the smell of tobacco and the sight of the car rising up before all was fade to black.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine," Emma sang as she pulled the thread through the plastic needle. She was making a bejeweled bangle bracelet. At 14, she knew she was too old for such a thing. It did help pass the time though.

She twisted the bracelet around, examining her handiwork before she stared down at the jewels and accessories that lie before her as she pictured the completed bracelet in her mind's eye. She fought back a yawn before resuming, "You make me happy when skies are gray."

"You'll never know dear, how much I love you - ," she gasped and jumped as a nasally voice shouted through the intercom system, "Into the closet!"

She bolted upright immediately and made her way into the old slatted doored closet. She closed the sliding doors sat on the pallet laid out on the floor inside before curling her legs underneath her as she waited for further instructions.

She heard the lock click into place remotely trapping her inside. Then there was some sort of shuffling noise outside the door. The electronic keypad beeped as the code was punched in. She held her breath as the door opened and the shuffling began to move closer toward her.

The shuffling continued right past where she sat. Through the slats, she was able to make out a flash of purple being drug across the floor. Her heart sped up and she wet her lips nervously as it continued right past her.

She heard a thump as something was thrown onto the double sized bed that took up a large portion of the room. Her position in the closet thankfully didn't allow her to see that angle of the room.

She heard more shuffling that sounded like fabric sliding against fabric. There was a lot of heavy breathing. Sickness pooled in her belly as she heard the squelching of mouth connecting with skin. She laid her head back against the wood and stretched her legs out in front of her. She put her hands over her ears and squeezed her eyes shut as she hummed quietly to help block out the noises.

After some time had passed, heavy footsteps made their way back across the room before the door was slammed shut. Then the lock that held the closet doors shut was remotely triggered again. The door popped open slightly.

Emma took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door. She unfurled her body and stepped out. Her bottom jaw dropped as she stared at the bed.

There was someone with dark hair lying there. If Emma didn't know any better she would've thought that the girl was merely sleeping. The purple that Emma had seen from inside the wardrobe was now crumpled beside it on the floor. It looked like one of those big dresses she'd seen on Barbie dolls. The girl was practically bare save for the tiny scrap of fabric that was meant to be underwear which were now hanging around one of the girl's ankles.

As she moved closer she could make out that the girl had medium length dark hair. It was spread out around her covering her entire face. But she did see a silver tiara lying lopsided atop her head. It matched the silver heels that were half off the girl's feet.

She lowered her eyes trying to preserve the girl's modesty with her cheeks stained red. Instead of trying to fix what little clothing was left on her body, she opted for pulling the bedspread up and over the girl.

Emma jumped as the dumbwaiter behind her thumped to the ground. She grabbed her chest and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that there was no threat headed her way. A groan from the girl had her attention instantly reverted back to her.

As she stirred, Emma waited with bated breath. When the girl resettled, Emma turned back toward the dumbwaiter. She walked over to it and began to unload the supplies.

There were a lot of boxes that were going to have to be unpacked and gone through but she wasn't fooled. Now that there were two of them rationing was going to be of the utmost priority. What seemed like a lot now wouldn't be by the end of the month.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine," she sang as she unloaded the boxes and began to put the supplies away. "You make me happy when skies are gray."
