This is a random o.s. that I just wrote in like two hours (in case it seems rushed). I was using this prompt generator and saw on that I like and had to use it. This is the end result. This is sorta au and I have absolutely no idea when this takes place. Well, whatever. Enjoy. or Don't. I don't really care(I do.)
Prompt: "You have no idea who I am. Do you?"
oOoOoOo
Stepping up to the door at 108 Mifflin street Emma raised her hand in preparation to knock but lowered it soon after. Only seconds passed and soon enough she was pacing back and forth, trying to decide what to do.
She's gonna be pissed. I knew I should have just left it alone but I couldn't help it. How the hell am I gonna tell her that I was in her vault and accidentally activated a random spell in a random book? She questions herself.
By telling her, that annoying part of her brain that always seemed to want to do the right thing responded.
Well, I could do that but I don't want to, She responded right back, not even realizing that she was starting a conversation with herself as her nerves to over. She and Regina had just started to barely get along and this would definitely put them right back where they started. Or somewhere nearby.
Then again, if Regina did get mad then she surely had the right to. After all, Emma had been sneaking around in her vault without permission. A feeling of dread settled in Emma's stomach as she thought, I deserve whatever she throws at me, not in a literal sense though.
Yes. You do. You should have known better than to snoop around in Regina's vault. And it was back.
She crossed her arms over her chest and stopped pacing. Yeah well. Emma groaned the sighed. I can't believe I'm having a conversation with myself. And I'm losing. Ya know what,
"Let's just get this over with," She finished out loud. She quickly raised her hand and decide that she would knock before she had the chance to psyched herself out. Before Emma could knock the door swung open and I front of her stood a highly annoyed Regina.
"Care to tell me why you pacing in front of my house. It's annoying and you're starting to draw the attention of my neighbors," She said, tapping her foot as she spoke.
"Regina," Emma breaths and then before she can stop it the words are tumbling out of her mouth. "I'm so sorry, Regina. I messed up big time. I was in your vault and I was messing with stuff. I honestly don't know what I did but I do know I fucked up and just wanted to say please don't be mad." Emma closed her eyes and held her breath, waiting for the wrath that she knew would soon come.
When nothing happened, Emma opened one eye followed by the other and saw that Regina was staring at her with confusion and even more annoyance.
"Who the hell are you and What in the hell are you talking about." Emma's mouth opened to respond but no words came out. And then Emma noticed it.
Regina's appearance was different from before. Her hair was much shorter and her clothes were far more homey(?) than anything the Regina she knew owned. She was wearing a gray tee shirt and black sweats that went down to mid-calf. On her shirt was a medium sized orange spot that was clearly baby food.
"Is that carrots," She couldn't help but ask. Regina was clearly surprised by the random question and glanced down. Her face was red for a second but it was gone as quickly as it came. Maybe Emma imagined it.
"Yeah well, I was just feeding my son before I noticed some stranger pacing on my front porch and decided to see what was going on." Emphasis on the word strange, Regina thought placing a hand on her hip and glaring at Emma impatiently.
"You have no idea who I am, do you?" And when Regina shook her head, Emma's shoulders sagged and her mood suddenly dropped as she let out a sigh. Fuck.
"No. I don't," Regina said and it was a little softer than Emma expected it to be. Emma looked up and saw that Regina didn't look quite as annoyed as before. Mostly confused.
"I must have confused you for someone else. Sorry," Emma mumble out. And Regina was sure that she was lying because everything about how this woman spoke to her and looked at her said otherwise.
"You look like you could use some help figuring things out then," Regina commented with a small tilt of her head and a curiously amused look in her eyes as she watched the woman who looked like a kicked puppy.
Before any more words could be exchanged between the two a loud voice came from somewhere nearby.
"MAMA!" Regina looked startled by the sudden scream and quickly turned with the intention to walk off.
"Give me a minute," She said walking off leaving her door opened. Does she want me to wait here, Emma question no one in particular? She got what she assumed was her answer when Regina stopped and turned around, giving Emma another questioning glance before turning back around and continuing on with her path.
Into the lion's den, I guess, Emma thought as she stepped into the unknown territory and closed the door behind herself.
