Regina's eyes shot wide open, overnight sweat breaking on her forehead. Her whole body jolted , her heart pounding after hearing a loud noise downstairs on her. She threw her duvet off her body, slipping into her night slippers. Who could be at her door at god knows what time?

The brunette winced again as the banging began again. "I'm coming.", she hissed going down the spiral stairs of her mansion. Whoever woke me from my beauty sleep, better have a goddamn good reason, she screamed in her head.

She opened the door, no one was there. Regina looked left, right, and her next reflex was to look down.

"Oh my god", horror struck in her dark chocolate eyes, the dismay jolting through her body, asking so many questions to herself. She leaned down onto her knees, placing her warm latina hands on the blonde's girl red cold cheek.

The girl had to be at least eighteen. She slowly and carefully dragged the girl in, until it was appropriate for her to carry her. Regina bent down to slip her hands underneath the girl, picking her up with all her strength.

She let out a big breath. This girl is so damn heavy, she thought, almost dropping her. "Okay, okay, okay", she steadily walked towards the couch, placing her onto it.

She sighed and looked at the girl for a moment before grabbing a blanket from the chair arms, spreading it out onto the young girl.

Regina gasped, putting her hand on her mouth after she noticed the big purple bruise on the back of the girl's neck.

She wished she knew her name, but until tonight, the nickname 'girl' will have to do. "I'm sorry for whoever did this to you, dear, but it's going to be okay".

The next morning at 5:00 A.M, Regina was once again awoken by the girl screaming. Regina hurriedly ran out of her room, stomping down the stairs and rushed straight to the distraught young lady.

"It's okay, dear, you're safe. I'm not going to hurt you", Regina made her voice as soothing as possible. She wasn't one to be good at all the feeling talk. She was a women to be feared.

Regina sat down on the coffee table, watching the girl as she watched her. "What's your name?", Regina asked the blonde, who was now sitting up, pulling the blanket close to her chest.

"My name is Emma.", she could hear the young girls' tone crack beneath the pressure. She shifted her body just an inch, enough to make the girl jump.

The brunette sighed, wondering where Emma could have came from or how she ended up in this situation. They sat in silence for five minutes with Emma's knees up to her chest and her staring blankly into space.

Regina smiled lightly, "Are you hungry dear?", Emma nodded.

"Well I think the best late night snack is grilled cheese and it's easier to make", she witnessed a smile grace the girls pink lips. "Would you like anything to drink, dear?", Regina asked.

"Yes, please maam, hot chocolate would be nice with cinnamon if you have some or if you have hot chocolate. I mean, it's okay if you don't, any drink will be fine", Emma continued to ramble on, then stopped when she saw a the women smiling.

"What is it?", she curiously asked.

"Nothing dear. You just amuse me but not in a rude way. Don't worry, I do have hot chocolate and cinnamon. I'm here to take care of you. You don't have to worry about anything".

"Thank you"

"You're welcome dear. Now I'm going to go get started with your late night snack, just sit tight and watch tv if you like. Make yourself at home", Regina winked.

Emma clasped and unclasped her hands, rubbing them together. She took the time to look around the home of the women taking care of her.

Emma realized the women never gave her a name to match her impeccable smile and incredible face features. No Emma! That women is three times your age. Well, I can't blame myself, she thought.

How the hell is this woman single? And how lucky am I to end up here?

She threw the light blue fleece blanket off of her as she got up and went into the kitchen. She shakily wrapped her arms around herself, tapping her right foot against the black tile floor.

"I never got your name", Emma's small voice traveled to Regina's ears, causing her to jump while handling the pan on the stove.

"Oh dear", her heart began to pound again. This girl sure loves to make her jump. She laughed and turned around to face the blonde.

"You scared me".

Emma rubbed the back of her neck. "Sorry", she blushed ducking her head down shyly. Regina grinned at her shyness, finding it completely adorable. I am so screwed, she thought.

"Uh maam! The grilled cheese is on fire", Emma yelped.

"Oh shit….I mean oh crap", Regina struggled. Emma couldn't help it stiffle a giggle. The brunette grabbed a dish rag, hanging from the oven handle, placing it over the pan quickly and turned the stove off

"So", Regina once again faced the girl. "How about that hot chocolate?", she nervously smirked. They both laughed.

"Yeah, I would like that", Emma shifted slightly, not knowing what to do next. She watched her grab two glasses, a mug and a wine glass.

"Hopefully I won't burn it", Regina giggled. "Please take a seat dear", she could tell that the blonde was still standing behind her all ready, sensing the presence of the blonde. Emma nodded, walking over behind the counter and sat on a stool.

"My name is Regina", she said, giving Emma her hot chocolate.

"Thank you, Regina", She softly said. Regina loved the way her name sounded on the blonde's tongue. I am so screwed and I just met her.

Emma lifted the cup, putting the edge of the mug to her lips. Regina couldn't help to rest her hand on the girl's. Emma looked down, loving the feel of the brunette's latina skin on her's.

Regina took her hand off before it started to get weird. She felt a magnetic pull as if the universe is pushing them together.

"When you are ready talk about what happened...", Emma's green eyes gazed upon Regina's dark chocolate brown eyes feeling like she is being pulled into her."I'll be here. You can stay as long as you like to."

"Aren't you going to ask me if my parents are worried sick about me or something like that?"

"No, because I think I know what's going on, but this is your story. So tell it how ever you want. I will believe you no matter what".
