Regina started to wake up, realizing something didn't feel right. She lifted her head to see the black cuff she so religiously used to stop her sister from using magic , on her wrist. Her head was pounding and she couldn't move. As much as she tried to, she wasn't able to. She could tell that she was laying on her back, and her arms and legs were restrained.
Suddenly, there was a bright light shining right in her eyes, and it blinded her. She groaned, shutting her eyes from the light.
"Who the hell are you?" She spoke weakly but firmly.
"Don't worry, you're safe now." She could tell that it was a man speaking to her, but she couldn't make out who.
Regina squirmed in the restraints, trying to escape.
"You can't escape, so don't try." The voice grew serious and a bit frightening.
Regina grew nervous and scared. She had no idea what was going to happen to her. Her heart was racing like crazy, and she was afraid it was so loud that whoever was holding her captive could hear it.
"There's no need to be scared, Regina. Everything will be ok." Even though the voice kept saying that, Regina still felt unsettled and frightened. Regina felt a warm hand gently brush her cheek then there was silence. She figured whoever it was had left.
She let out a scared and weak sigh, and she began to pull on the restraints. Unfortunately, they wouldn't budge.
Robin woke up that morning with a yawn and a stretch. It was a beautiful morning, and the sun was shining into the room through the translucent curtains. The sheets were very warm and Robin would usually never want to get out of bed. He rolled over on his side expecting to see Regina, but she wasn't there. He quickly sat up, wondering if she even came home last night. Once again, he pushed away his worried feeling, and expected to see her downstairs getting ready to leave.
He got out of the quite comfortable bed and slipped on a pair of jeans and a flannel shirt.
He slowly made his way down the hallway while buttoning the other half of his shirt. The hard wood stair case was cold underneath his bare feet. He made his way down the stairs and into the empty kitchen.
The feeling that he had tried so hard to push away had returned. Where on earth was Regina? Did she even come home? He reached for his phone and dialed her number. He sat there waiting for her to pick up, but he had no such luck. That horrible feeling started growing and growing. What if something bad happened to her?
He needed to calm someone. Out of his worries, he decided that Mary Margret would probably be the most help.
His hands were shaking as he dialed her number.
Snow answered, and it was obvious she had a crying baby in her arms.
"Hello?" She spoke soft, and the sound of a crying baby was muffled.
"Hello, Mary Margret?" Robin's voice was shaky but serious.
"Robin? What's the matter?" She could tell that Robin was shaken up, and she was concerned.
"It's Regina. She never came home from work last night. I was hoping you knew where she was." He was trying to calm himself down.
"No, I'm sorry. I haven't seen her." She too became worried.
Robin let out sigh and hung up the phone. It wasn't like Regina to ever be late to work, and he tried to reassure himself with the feeling that she already went to work. Robin figured that going to check wouldn't do any harm.
He slipped on his boots and grabbed his jacket. It was quite cold outside, and anyone that left the house without a coat must be crazy.
Robin huddled into his leather jacket as he slowly made his way to Regina's office. He arrived at her office to find it locked. She was definitely not at work.
He felt his stomach start to knot up, but he didn't know if it was from his lack of breakfast this morning, or the fact that Regina was no where to be found.
The room was dark and cold. Regina could hear the, almost silent, sound of a loose pipe that was dripping. She would've screamed for help but if its one thing she learned from the man movies Robin made her watch, it was screaming usually put her in more danger if the suspect heard her. The padded restraints weren't exactly the most comfortable despite the fact that they were padded.
Regina heard footsteps, and following them was a face.
A quite familiar face.
She froze when she realized who it was.
Sidney stood next her and gently rubbed her cheek.
"Sidney?" She spoke in a frightened tone while also a little pissed.
"Regina, I'm sorry we had to meet in this circumstance." He spoke in the most caring way she's ever heard him speak before.
"D-Did you kidnap me?" She couldn't believe what was happening.
"Regina, I've been watching you, and I just couldn't help myself. I-I'm in love with you." He gently brushed the hair out of the defenseless woman's face.
Regina was speechless. Sidney had drugged her, kidnapped her, and tied her to a table. She knew he had a little crush on her, but she didn't realize how much he actually loved her. She never thought it would drive him to do something this drastic. The fact that he had complete and utter control over her made it worse. She had no idea what he was planning to do to her, but whatever it was, she knew she didn't want to figure it out.
Sidney looked like he had been love struck. He just couldn't resist her perfect curves, or the way her ebony hair bounced when she walked. He had was absolutely obsessed with everything about her. Especially her lips. Those plump lips drove him insane. She always wore that dark red shade that made him want to sweep her off her feet and make her his. He would often fantasize about his lips crashing against hers, and her willfully giving herself to him.
Such thoughts only found in a brain like his.
He gently placed his hand on her neck. He ran his fingers up to cup her cheek. She tried to pull away. Not only was she not attracted to Sidney in any way, but she was in a relationship with Robin. She hoped and prayed that Robin would burst through the door and save her from this psychopath.
"Sidney, stop!" She was defenseless to him, and the only thing that she could use to stop him were her words.
He lowered his lips to hers, and kissed her in such a way he imagined. Her lips were cold, and he figured he would warm them up for her. She nearly screamed when he kissed her. She quickly squirmed away from his lips , but he grabbed her and held her still. He pressed his lips against hers, and without blinking an eye, Regina headbutted him. He stumbled backwards, grabbing his forehead.
"Agh! You bitch!" He yelled out in pain.
He quickly raised his hand and back-handed her.
She let out what was most compared to as a yelp. There was a bright red mark imprinted on her cheek, and it stung. Tears started to fill her eyes as she tried to cope with the pain.
"You will not deny me, Regina." Sidney looked frustrated. He left the room moments later, and Regina was left there, crying.
