Once Upon A Time
The Unloved
Chapter 1: Tears.
Regina bolted up in bed, the sound of the cries from next room made her heart pound. She threw her blankets up over her body and her feet hit the floor with a thump. She practically ran down the hall, gripping the door handle of the room the cries could be heard from. The bedroom door was locked. Regina wiggled the door knob and cursed under her breath. With a wave of her hand the door clicked and unlocked. Regina ran across the darkened room, and had her arm was around the child that was crying out. Regina looked at the lamp, which was on the nightstand by the bed. Within the seconds, part of the room's darkness was engulfed by the soft glow of the lamp.
Regina placed her hand on the now thrashing child, "Lily. Wake up honey." She gently shook the little girl. The little girl flew up screaming, "MOMMY!" Regina pulled the little girl, close to her, stroking her dark hair. "It's alright Lily. I'm right here. I'm here."
A few moments later, the child's body stiffened. Regina's heart froze as she felt the child's body became rigid beneath her touch. The girl's arms dropped from around Regina and fell to the bed. She clung to the little girl tighter, she knew what was about to happen. As she expected the child's small arms flew up as the little girl shoved as hard as she could into Regina. She tried desperately to push Regina away.
Regina gripped tighter, "Please, don't do this. Don't push me away." The tears swelled in Regina's eyes and spilled over. Her heart ached. Her heart felt as though it was slowly being ripped from her chest. The little girl bawled her hands into fist and with every blow Regina's heart slowly began to break. After a few second's Regina released the frantic girl. She knew that if she continued to try and hug the child the worse she would get.
The moment she was free, the little girl crawled away from Regina, pressing herself against the headboard and she pulled her knees as close to herself as she could, and cried into her knees. The sobs only helped in slowly shattering Regina's heart. She reached over, to try to once again to comfort the crying little girl, but stopped when the child visibly flinched away from her touch. Regina's hand fell limply onto the bed beside the little girl. The tears ran down Regina's cheeks as her lip trembled and fought back a sob. Regina stood and walked, towards the bedroom door slowly. Once in the doorway Regina turned and looked at the little girl, who remind wrapped around herself and sobbing. "Goodnight, Lily," She looked at the lamp and the light flickered out. "I love you." With that she closed the door. "Mommy loves you."
Tears continued to slide down Regina's cheeks as she slowly made her way back to her bed room, leaving her still crying daughter in the room next door. Once in her room, Regina closed her bedroom door and leaned against it. She slid down the door and slowly the sobs were making there way out ward. Her world slowly came apart. She was slowly losing her son Henry, and her daughter...What is she supposed to do?
