I kinda got it into my head that they got off a little easy whilst trying to lure the Chernabog away and it also bugged me that they never realised at that point it was after emma. So after making a edit/manip with that idea in mind it still wouldn't leave me alone and this is the result.
I hope you enjoy it, I'm not the worlds greatest writer but I do try. May consider a Regina pov if there is any interest.

'Thank's for trying Miss Swan.'
The words echo in her mind as the creature adjusts its position above her, the roof of the bug groaning in protest under its weight as it prepares to attack once more.
She knows that Regina's plan to lure the beast away has failed the moment its massive hand reaches through the broken windshield. Grasping at thin air once, twice it roars in frustration before striking again, the third time it doesn't miss. She feels each of its talon like fingers slice into her flesh, the leather jacket she wore offering no protection against the attack. She cries out as blood begins to flow from the wounds, warm as it trickles, seeping through her shirt.
Determining her location the beast pulls back for a second before reajusting its hand, she barely has time to register the second attack before it comes closing around her only to tighten its grip, crushing her where she sits.
The pressure becomes unbearable in an instant, her hands fall from the wheel two dead weights by her side as her body tries in vain to move, to do anything that would mean escape. Regina and the town line begin to feel a thousand miles away, her body having no choice but to surrender to the Chernabog's unyielding grip.
The inside of the car began to descend into darkness as the beasts wings encase the windows, blocking out the world as it lowered its head. Peering through the broken glass its amber eyes fixed on her. She doesn't scream, she can't, even as the sounds of her bones shattering fill the car, her rib cage a mangled mess in the Chernabogs hand. She can only return its gaze in horror.
Slowly the demon releases its hold on her, battered body no longer able to support her, she falls into the seat.
The last thing she sees is the Chernabogs hand retreating.
The last thing she hears is Regina's voice.
She doesn't feel the pain anymore, something that she's greatful for.
