The two woman took a good look at each other. It was the first time they've seen each other since Emma turned. 'Regina I..' -'You're an idiot for making that sacrifice for me miss Swan, what the hell were you thinking?' Emma looked at her hands, not wanting to show Regina that behind the darkness that overtook every single thing in her body, there was also an ache. An ache she felt ever since the moment Regina and her saved Henry from Peter Pan. 'I wasn't thinking. I just knew. I knew that in order to make operation Mongoose succeed I needed to make sure your happiness wasn't going to be destroyed. I just knew that if I just stepped in and let the darkness take me..' Emma gasped. She suddenly realized it. She was The Dark One.
Emma felt it coming. She felt her heart pounding louder and louder in her chest. Feel her breath speeding up. Inhale exhale inhale exhale at top speed. Regina looked at her in shock. 'Miss Swan calm down.. Emma, please stop.' Emma looked at Regina and even though she knew she was hyperventilating, there wasn't anything she could do about it. She just shook her head and tried to get a 'help me' out of her mouth in between breaths. Regina looked around her in the, as she called it, yellow death trap, oh the irony. She couldn't find a bag anywhere where Emma could steady her breath in. in a quick second she placed her hand around Emma's mouth and formed it into a bowl where Emma could breathe in. 'Relax Emma, breathe into my hand. In trough your nose, out trough your mouth. Just look at me.' Emma looked at Regina and placed her hand on Regina's. In trough her nose, out trough her mouth. She could feel her breathing becoming steady, calmer. When she was breathing normal again, she let go of Regina's hand. It took Regina a few seconds to realize her hand was still covering Emma's mouth. She slowly moved it towards Emma's cheek and cubbed the blondes face. She brushes Emma's soft skin with her thumb and felt her face inching closer towards Emma's. Emma felt it too and instead of her heart calming down, it sped up again. 'Regina I..'
Regina shook her head. 'Shut up Emma.'
She closed the space between them and kissed her.
