A Race Against Time
The sky was as dark as a mysterious man in a dark alley in the middle of November! The purple cloud that had over powered this beautiful ocean town was something the people of StoryBrook was talking about. Regina and Emma couldn't stop the curse down in the mines, so they left and started to prepare for what was about to happen next. Their main concern was Henry! Even though; they couldn't help deeply feeling about each other at a devastating time like this. Regina being the evil queen; meant staying in control of her feelings. Emma she has always been fly at the seat of her paints. Ever since she got out of jail and Neal abandoned her; she made a personal vow to herself she would live each day to get fullest, with no regrets. When all this bad termmoral started to happen in StoryBrook Emma felt the need to act spontaneously. Emma took upon herself to talk to Regina about these feeling she has always felt, ever since the first day she met her and brought Henry back to the Manor. Emma started thinking to herself how, where, an what would I say all the questions started to arise? All these emotions an thoughts started raining threw her mind, an it seemed there was no turn off switch. The more she thought about it, she decided to call Ruby. Emma made a call to Granny's an Red picked up, she said, "Just the person I need to speak with! Ruby, can you come over to my apartment, I have a situation, an I need advice how to go about it. Ruby said, " Sure, Emm's I'll be right over. " It seemed minutes went by before she heard animal movements outside; then she heard two soft knocks outside her door.
Emma opened the door and Red walked in. Ruby asked, "What's up, you sound really disturbed on the phone?" Red, saw her pacing back an fourth in her living room, like she was sprinting in a 12k race. Red said, " Mary mother an her seven sisters, sit down Emma an explain to me what's going on? " Emma finally sat down an began to explain she knows the whole town was in chaos with the curse engulfing up the whole town, but she had a delima. She said, " I...I have deep feelings for Regina. I really didn't think about it, till this curse brought the fact I would never get the chance to tell her how I truly feel about her" Ruby said, " Emma slow your roll down, calm down. You have all the time you need. Emma.. You need to tell Regina how you feel, before we all go back to the enchanted forest." Emma said, "Ok." Ruby hurried an left Emma's apartment.
Emma called Regina immediately Regina answered, "Mrs. Swan what can I do for you?" Emma responded, I need to talk to you! " Regina said, " Ok, come over now. I have a couple of hours before, I have to pick up Henry up at school." Emma stayed silent for a minute then she replied, "Ok, I'll be over in like 7 minutes." When Regina got off the phone she pondered what just seemed like a minute. She though what on magic earth could she want to talk to me about, we have lots to do before the curse fully devours this town . Just then Regina heard a knock on the door. She stated, "come in Mrs. Swan!" Emma walked in an sat down. Regina said, "What can I do for you, you know how strapped my time is right now, we have a curse coming for the whole town ,an we have to figure out how to save you an Henry. You two are not fairy tale people an we need to get you out of StoryBrook, but when you leave an cross the city line you won't remember any of us! I'm trying to do something noble that Henry will be proud of. "
While, Regina was rambling on; Emma could help an noticed the black/while suite she was in. Emma couldn't help, but letting her eyes wonder from her jet black hair, to her muddy brown eyes, on down to her well proportioned curvy body. Regina said, "Are you listening to a single word I'm saying Mrs. Swan.. or are you wasting my time!" Emma respond, "of course not Regina. The reason why I came was to tell you something important that will change on how we both perceive one another!" She began explaining. Ever since I brought the kid back to you and StoryBrook; we have experienced some wild an mind blowing adventures, wouldn't you say?
Well there's something I have to say... Just then Regina's eyes got as big as the apples that she grew in her back yard, an she started feeling butterflies in her stomach. Regina thought to herself, please tell me she's saying would I feel! She, too, was surveying the blondes body an was thinking of ways to undress her an totally take advange like so many times her dreams. Emma said, " Regina, I.. I have very strong feelings for you. I accept an love you for who you are. I know your the Evil Queen, but I love you threw it all. I think it's the evilness I'm dawn to an find it very attractive. .. Please say something?" Emma felt she just laid her heart on the line an like she threw a ball in left feild. What seemed like a very long time, Regina finally responded, "Mrs. Swan I'm very flattered, you have feelings for me, but, we have to think of Herny. I'm sorry, Emma. I have lots to do!" Emma thought for a moment an responded to herself, she's right our concern needs to be Henry. After that; Emma headed over to Granny's where everyone in the town was gathering.
Emma left an walked away from Regina's office. Regina couldn't help an start to cry from her window. She couldn't stop and to watch Emma walking away. She thought to herself being the evil queen, did I make the wrong decision? Being the queen all my decisions have to be always be the precise ones. Do, I bend to my feeling an give in to temptation, or should I stand strong as the queen? I've felt strong feelings for her ever since she brought me Henry. What seemed like minutes was an hour. Regina looked at the clock an said, " Holly shit, I have to pick Henry up!" She hurried an raced to get him at the school. As she picked Henry up everyone in the town noticed how close the purple cloud was; which was just a couple miles away from the middle of the town! They all discussed we will all meet at the city line, so that's where Regina an Henry went. As everyone was saying their goodbyes Mary Margaret and David said to Emma & Henry " We only just found you Emma an now we're losing you again! It's not far!" As cries filled the towns line, there wasn't a dry eye any where.
It was now Regina's turn to say her heart pouring speech to Henry.. when she finished, it was time to say her goodbyes to Emma, which were very tough an hard. Please everyone she said, "Can I have a minute with Emma? Emma was star struck; she thought her chance was over back at the office. She had idea what Regina wanted to discuss, but she couldn't help but feeling she was on an ice rink after a fresh storm.
Regina began speaking, "with everything happening right now, Miss. Swan you know the talk we had back at the office." Which the whole town were hanging on by a thread; cause they knew the curse could take them at anytime. Regina proceeded to say. .. "You weren't alone, I to feel the very same way for you, if not more than you! Emma... you are my true love, an I couldn't forgive myself if you left not knowing, you weren't alone. I've had deep feeling for you ever since you brought Henry back to me. Me being the queen I've always felted I've had to keep my emotions in check!" Just then Regina grabbed Emma's body an leaned over an gave her the most slowest elegant, passionate kiss a person has ever felt on their lips. There was a mother of pearl light that appeared when they embraced. It had all this bright colorful rays, shinning around them. The town couldn't help but feel taken away what was happening before their eyes.
Regina said, "I don't care who's here an what people think, but before you an Henry go, I'll get this right. I love you, Emma Swan. You complete me, a world without you an Henry isn't possible! My heart is complete with you in it. You are the emptiness my life has been missing. I feel it's filled ever since you have entered our lives." The whole town couldn't believe what they just witnessed. Mary Margaret said, "Stop the press, are you flipping serious, you an the Queen. There isn't no way, the lady has made it an vow to destroy me and my happiness, now she falls for my daughter? He'll to the f $ king NO!" Emma began to say, "Mary Margaret, we didn't plan for this, it just happen, but she wasn't the first to jump into the water. I came to get office 2 hours ago, I felt she needed to know how I felt before this curse takes you all, from Henry an I. I feel the whole town has wrong impression of her, she has done what she thought was right at the time the information that was given to her by Cora, her mother." Right about that time the town saw Regina create a electric purple sphere like she has done so many in the past. Emma said, "Gina, what are you doing? The cloud is within eyes bird view, can't you see? Regina said, "I'm creating a spell that will not affect you an Henry, I'll be able to find you where ever we both are! Remember; I'm the evil queen, an this is after all, my curse! I will always find you Emma. Your the other half of my heart and without you, it remains frozen in time I'll find you no matter what realm I'm in or you for that matter.
Right about that time, Emma an Henry found them selves in Emma's yellow bug. Emma quickly started the car an drove over the city line! As Emma drove away she saw in her rear view mirror the lifeless purple cloud engulf the town of StoryBrook; along with her parents an most of all; the love of her life! Before she knew it; she felt the crashing wave of tears fill the ducks of her eyes. All she felt was, her heart was left back over the towns line and she was driving away. Emma felt this huge emptiness in the pit of her stomach. Just then Henry grabbed Emma's hand an said, "Mom, we will find mom and the rest of StoryBrook. It's time to create a new operation, we will call it, Operation Mockingbird." Emma said, "Ok, kid." Then she kissed his hand.
