Side Effects
The acid-like fluid crawled down Emma's throat as she tried to not cough. The small glass bottle, which held the vile liquid, fell to the ground and shattered around her bare-feet. Emma's pupils dilated, and her breathing became ragged, as she moaned in pain, falling to her knees. Snow, Charming, Gold, Regina, and Neal, all knelt around her, wondering if the healing potion worked. They first noticed that Emma had stopped shaking and withering with pain, and that she had stopped coughing. But when she dropped to her knees, they all became worried, besides Gold and Regina.
Gold muttered, "Looks like the side effects kicked in strong, Dearie."
"What side-effects? I swear if Emma dies…" The rest of them all started yelling at once.
Regina purred with glee, "Why, the side-effects of this…well, I have to see this!"
"What's the side-effects?" Neal stood up and practically screamed.
"Well, Dearie, if my memory serves me right then…hmm…a tr-" Regina happily cut off Gold.
"Truthfulness! And I bet there are some truths that will be a pleasure to hear! Anything against the "savior" is…well, fantastic!" Regina rejoiced.
Emma suddenly stood up, startling her parents, and her eyes darted around the room, landing on Neal. "Dick! You left me to fend for myself in prison! Where I lied about you, and thought you were still the best. You freaking set me up!" Emma slurred while tears threatened to spill from her eyes. "I had to have Henry and…and Lucy in a prison! That's not even the worst though! Lucy…Lucy is now…(sob)…d-dead and it's all your fault! I know you b-blame me for being the "savior" but I never asked for this!" Now tears were dripping down her neck and getting caught on her red leather jacket.
The entire room was silent, until Mary Margaret lightly touched Emma's shoulder, and asked her, "Sweetie, who…who's Lucy?"
"You." Emma snarled turning to her suddenly, pointing threateningly at her with her finger. "My foster fathers should thank you!" Her green eye's pierced Snow's soul.
Regina chose this time to grab Gold's arm and drag him out of the apartment, leaving Snow, Charming, and Neal.
Emma continued ranting, "Thirty-seven. Yes. That is how many times they had their way with me…thir-thirty seven fucking times! All because of you, they would stab me and caress me. Whispering to me how ill never be loved the way they fucking loved fucking me!" Her face red, her breathing ragged, her eyes tipped back into her head so they could only see the whites of her eyes. She promptly passed out and as her head hit the floor, her parents in so much shock that they couldn't catch her, and the last thing she did before losing consciousness was let out a psychopathic giggle.
