This was originally written in german and I'm translating it. The first chapter is a bit short, still trying this out. Reviews and a Fave are very welcome :).
PS. I do have a beta reader now, a HUGE thank you to Outswanqueen and also to shadowdianne who had helped me as well
Her Blood rushed through her veins and she could hear her own heart racing. Sweat dripped over her forehead down to her eyes and she wiped it nervously away.
She scratched her arm and groaned quietly, what was going on with her?
Emma rolled around in her bed and noticed how loud the crickets were tonight.
Nervously the sheriff jumped out of bed, pacing around. Suddenly, she stopped and looked down at her arm.
A whimper escaped her throat and she raised her chin, smelling something dirty. Slowly, she turned her heard towards her window and furrowed her brow. She smelt the neighbors - trash can, outside on the sidewalk.
"What the hell?" Emma mumbled and swallowed hard, she started to look around nervously. What was going on with her? Was she sick? Was this because of her accident in the forest?
Two days ago she had been in the forest, chasing after Pongo. Something had attacked Emma, bitten her arm and then disappeared.
She couldn't make out anything in the dark, only that it had been an animal.
Almost an hour later, Emma just sat back on her bed and could hear almost everything; every cricket, cat, even David snoring downstairs.
Panic coursed through her body and Emma jumped off the bed, running her fingers through her hair. She needed to talk to Regina, the blonde decided.
Ten minutes later, Emma appeared at Regina's Mansion, unsure and nervous. She swallowed then knocked on the door.
It didn't take long, when someone opened the door very fast and Regina looked angrily at Emma.
But Regina's glance changed, once she noticed Emma's devastated and scared state.
"Miss Swan, what do you want? Do you know how late it is?" Regina growled annoyed nonetheless and Emma's gaze dropped down to her feet.
"Regina, I'm sorry, I know it's late. But something isn't right with me!" Emma tried not to sound too desperate, but failed.
"Oh, I'm amazed, that you finally noticed!" Regina smirked for a second, but couldn't hide the curiosity.
"What? No! I...can we please talk? Inside?" Emma almost begged and Regina rolled her eyes, but stepped aside.
Together they walked into the living room and Regina quietly closed the door, so Henry wouldn't wake up. Who knows what kind of problems the blonde had.
Emma plopped down onto the couch and sighed "I know- we are not best friends. But you're the only person I can come to with this." Emma took a deep breath and Regina's body stiffened..What was going on?
"Could you please explain what is going on?" Regina stressed and Emma finally looked at her.
"Two days ago, around evening, I was in the forest, chasing Pongo. I had no backup with me, 'cause why should I? It was just Pongo." Emma rubbed her hands together and briefly closed her eyes, sweat already forming on her neck.
"I went deeper into the forest and suddenly something or someone attacked me. It was so fast. It bit me and disappeared. Since then Regina, I'm going crazy! I can hear everything 500 times better; I can smell Henry's dirty clothes up in his room; I have such deep anger flowing through me, scratching the surface. I can barely control it! I can hear your heart- it's beating so fast! You're nervous, right?" she asked timidly.
Regina just stared stunned at Emma. She swallowed and blinked a few times.
"Can you remember anything else? Any more details? What did it look like?" Regina asked while she paced up and down.
Emma shook her head "No, I stumbled and fell. The moment I realized that it bit me, I looked at my arm." The blonde pulled her sleeve back and showed Regina the wound.
"It's already healing, that's why it's probably itching." Regina mumbled more to herself, then shook her head to clear it a little.
"Regina what does this mean?" the blonde sheriff asked scared and Regina closed her eyes for a few seconds, while she let out her breath, one she didn't realize she'd been holding in.
"I know what you are now and I need to call in an towns meeting!" was all Regina said as she ran out of the room.
"What the hell? Regina!" Emma yelled and jumped off the couch, going after the brunette.
