So there will be a video edit thingy to go along with this fic, but I'm not sure when to upload it because it follows the story so it has spoilers so I'll probably upload it when I upload the final chapter. I would love feedback for this story though, please let me know what you think and how I can improve.

Let Her Go

Prologue

"What do I owe this pleasure to at this time?" Regina asked, seeing David on her doorstep. It was midnight and Regina was exhausted, but she promised Emma she'd wait up for her to return home after her sheriffing duties. David's eyes filled with tears.

"There's been an accident Regina," He whispered and Regina's eyes widened in fear.

"An accident?" She asked. "With Emma? What happened? Is she okay?" She began asking a billion questions. Emma had to be okay. She was always okay. She was a survivor. She was the saviour. She didn't need saving.

But she could only watch as David shook her head.

"By the time they got her to the hospital, it was..." He trailed off for a moment, caught up in his own grief. "Too late." Regina gasped, leaning against the wall, clutching the door frame with one hand, unable to support her own weight. No. This couldn't be happening. Emma couldn't be gone. This was just some sort of sick wind up. But she knew deep down that David was telling the truth. Tears began to stream down her face and David helped her back into her house. "I know." He whispered, helping her to the sofa.

"But she's so..." Regina trailed off, unable to finish.

"I know, she always seemed invincible," David agreed. "She was just driving to Granny's, apparently someone had tried to break in, but it was dark and raining."

"A break in?" Regina muttered. "Who'd want to steal Granny's lasagne? When I find out who did this, their sad little life won't be-" She said, standing up angrily, but David grabbed her arm.

"Regina, no," He told her. "Emma wouldn't want this. You know that." Regina stopped, knowing he was right. She didn't know how she'd cope without Emma. Emma had kept her from going back to her dark ways after Robin died. They had mourned together. Emma for Hook, and Regina for Robin. But they healed together. They were there for each other. Emma had always been there for Regina. She didn't know how she was going to tell Henry. He was going to be devastated. More than devastated. It felt like Regina's world had collapsed around her. It had. Emma was her life.
