Regina was broken out of her state of shock when the figure moved slightly, she knelt down and moved soft blonde locks out of the way.
"Oh Emma." Regina whispered sadly "What happened? Who did this to you? Who could be so cruel to the saviour of all people?" Even though she was asking these questions out loud and to the unconscious sheriff she felt like an idiot because she was basically talking to herself because Emma was in no way able to answer.
Regina thought she was hearing things when a small word came from Emma's otherwise still lips, at first she missed it then Emma said it again so Regina lent down so her ear was very close to Emma's mouth and then she heard as clear as day, although slightly sluggish.
"Help!"
With a wave of her hand Regina transported Emma and herself into the master bedroom, where she gently lay Emma down on the bed, she placed a hand on Emma's right shoulder before leaving the room to gather the essentials she would need to take care of her sheriff...
'Wait did she just refer to Emma as her sheriff.' Emma wasn't her sheriff she was the towns sheriff/saviour even if Regina did sign her pay checks, the town had voted her in as sheriff after Graham had died, so why was she referring to Emma as hers.
Deciding she would dwell on it later Regina set to work on Emma she removed Emma's tank top and what was left of her jeans.
Once they were out of the way and Regina got a good look at the damage to the blondes body, her blood boiled with anger the amount of bruises, cuts, gashes, burns and lacerations covering the younger woman's body not to mention that she had a broken jaw, right leg, a fractured cheekbone, right arm broken in 3 places and her right shoulder was dislocated.
Regina could feel a bit of the evil queen surfacing as she took in Emma's injuries from head to toe all at once her eye's fell on the hand prints around Emma's neck it was obvious someone had tried to kill her by strangling her.

Regina was stitching up the last of the deep wounds when a loud groan alerted her that her guest/patient was waking up, brown eyes met Caribbean blue ones as Emma looked at Regina in confusion.

"Regina? What am I doing here?" Emma was not only confused but she couldn't understand why Regina, the woman who had always shown nothing but a bare tolerance to her for Henry's sake was now showing her kindness.

"Just relax Emma you need to rest and heal." The mayor said gently to the bewildered blonde and she got up to put away what she didn't need anymore.

When she returned Regina went into a very lengthy explanation of how Emma ended up in the mayoral mansion and all of her injuries but Emma's mind was foggy on what had happened to her. But that night while Regina was sleeping she was awakened by a blood curdling scream coming from Emma's temporary bedroom, when she entered she saw the sheriff in the throws of an awful nightmare.
With one last scream Emma's eyes opened and Regina was by her side instantly sitting on the bed beside her soothingly stroking her hair as she spoke calmly and gently to the obviously terrified girl.
