Chapter 2:
She's lost.
it's dark and quiet,The only sound is of her shoes hitting the wet pavement echoing throughout the empty street. her hands wrap around her chest pulling on her shirt tighter guarding herself, but No one is around.
There's only one street light lit and she'd lost Emma. She doesn't know where or what town she's in at this point. Her heart starts pounding. They took so many busses not really caring where they were going, and now she doesn't know which way is up.
Looking around the unfamiliar territory something catches her eyes. There's a figure lurking in the shadows moving towards her eyes struggling to see, but it's to dark.
"Emma?" She calls out to it. The figure doesn't say anything but makes its way closer.
"Emma?"
She sucks her teeth, not really in the mood for games "This isn't funny!".
Still No answer.
Her palms start to sweat,she wants to move,She can't feel her legs to start running. The figure stops walking underneath the street light reveling its self. She can't make out a face but It wore a brown trench coat and hat. Where have I seen that before she thinks to herself frantically searching her mind for the answer. As the person gets closer and closer,she figures it out. The out-of-towner at the diner. Shit what was his name? Sounded like a girls name "sandy?" No that's not it "s-something" God damn it Regina pull it together "s-Sydney!" That's it.
Now standing in front of her,
"Sydney?"
The figure looked dark brown eyes, her heart sank as her eyes met with green bloodshot eyes instead. Giving her a malice smile,
"What's the matter Regina?" He reaches up to touch her face,"Didn't think I'd find you?" Moving forward as she stumbles backwards, corse gravel digs in to her skin as she caught herself from falling completely backwards.
"I-I thought you would be dead." She stutters pushing herself back with every step he takes forward.
"Tsk-Tsk, you should have known better then that Regina." He mocks her as he makes his way closer. He goes to to grab her but she's to fast and slips out of reach.
"Fuck!" He lets out in a growl.
Tripping a little she makes her way down an alleyway.
It's a dead end.
Looking back from behind a grimy dumpster she finds Leo slowly walking down the alley dragging a knife across the brick building.
"You know? There's really no point of running Regina," he says pulling the knife to his mouth giving it a little huff before cleaning it wth the sleeve of his coat. "I'll always find a pretty little whore like you," he gave a sickly laugh causing a shiver to run down her spine ."if you come out now, I promise this won't hurt..to much." He says toying with the knife.
Regina holds her breath,as she slowly moves down the side with her back pressed firmly against the building tracing the brick with her fingers. When her hand came in contact with something not corse but smooth and round tears started welling in her eyes.
Please be unlocked,please be unlocked she inwardly begs to whatever gods are up there as she slowly try's turning the knob.
It is,
quickly slipping inside and locking the door,She lets out a sob of relief. Pressing her forehead to the door, taking a in deep breath.
The familiar smell of cigarettes burn her nostrils.
She slowly turns around, the low murmur of the news is in the background. Garbage and beer bottles and cans laid all over the forest green carpeting.
Not really believing what she's seeing she rushes to the kitchen.
A pile dishes lay untouched in the sink. The kitchen table intact.
This cannot be happening. Her world starts spinning, sweat begins to form on her brow.
"You're late." Leo said leaning on the door frame. Pressing his index to the tip of the knife twirling it.
No longer wearing the trench coat and hat he's back in his worn out jeans and t-shirt.
Regina quickly runs to the back door and frantically pulling on the bronze knob trying to open it. Looking up she sees long rusted nails sticking out every which way keeping the door from opening.
"Noo no come on.."she pleads with the door, before she bangs on it with all her might leaving traces of blood from her knuckles "HELP, SOMEONE PLEASE! HELP ME!"
"You know no one can hear you Regina,"
Turning back to him, She could feel her skin crawl as she met his hungry gaze. Swallowing hard as Bile rises in her throat,her heart starts racing. Shifting her gaze between the small gap to the living room and Leo she Decides to make a break for it and slip past Leo like she did so many times before, only she's not so lucky this time.
Anticipating her move He Grabs her by her arms and slams her in to the wall with such a force knocking the wind out of her.
She sinks to the floor her hand over her chest, gripping her flannel shirt gasping for breath.
He leaves her there for a moment walking over to the counter yanking one of the draws open rummaging for something.
While she's trying to ease her breathing,she turns on her stomach and grips the forest green carpet pulling her body across the floor in an attempt to make an escape.
Still not fast enough Leo Grabs her by her ankles he pulls her back into the kitchen Scrapping her nails against the lament floor.
Taking black cable wires he binds her hands behind her back before turning her over, with a smug grin on his face.
Regina gets one of her legs loose pulls it back and kicks Leo right in the face, causing his mouth to bleed.
Tasting the tangy copper of Leo becomes Furious wipping the blood off watching it as it drips from his gets up and slams his foot in to her stomach repeatedly. "Fucking bitch"
Tears staining her cheeks as they flowed from her eyes. Letting out hard sobs and sounds of agony,As he shifts his body between her legs. Holding her down with one arm.
"Now, now Regina.." He mockingly chastised her. Pressing the cold sharp blade to her neck, before dragging it and cutting her shirt open, exposing her breast.
"You know how much I love it when you fight me.." He whispers in her ear, before taking a bite of her shoulder.
Regina lets out a cry of pain. She cant believe this is happening again, "please stop.." She begs barely above a whisper her voice cracking a bit as he reaches for his belt buckle, she knows it's no use, it's happened before,but she always has a the tiniest shred of hope stored in the of her mind.
Turning her face a way she shuts her tear filled eyes,Her body is tired. Tired of fighting, tired of running, she's given up.
"Please.." She whispers almost as a prayer. When her body jumps almost like a hiccup.
"Regina.."
"Regina..?, Regina wake up!" A female voice calls for her.
Regina's eyes flew open, as her body jolted forward gasping for breath. Her hair was dampened by sweat, her face flush and her heart still racing as she takes in her surroundings.
Her chocolate brown eyes finally met Emma's aquamarine ones filled with worry and questions.
"Hey are you okay?.." She asks handing Regina an opened water bottle."You fell asleep a few stops back and-"
"You ladies need to get gone now this is the last stop of the night.." The rundown elderly bus driver shouted back.
The two girls looked around and noticed they were the only ones left.
Emma gave the driver a nod and slid out of the booth stepping back a bit waiting on Regina to head out first.
Regina gave a small smile and a thank you as she quickly made her way out, the warm night breeze Engulfed her as she sucked in a deep breath. "It was a only a dream." She said to herself as Emma came up behind her.
"Hey about before are you sure you're okay, I mean you looked-"
"I'm fine." Regina hissed cutting Emma off avoiding the topic all together,knitting her brows in confusion."Where the hell are we?"
Emma surveys the area before digging in her jacket pocket,pulling out a map they picked up a few towns back.
After studying it for a moment, Emma looks up pushing her thick black glasses up the bridge of her nose. Turning to Regina giving her a mischievous grin "Come on!" She nods before taking off down the road.
Regina hesitates for a moment biting on her bottom lip.
Emma stops turning back to Regina throwing her Hands up as in a silent 'are you coming'. Waiting for her to catch up before taking off again together.
Out of breath Regina is hunched over with her hands on her knees,"You want...to tell me.. What that was all about?!"
"Stand right,..Emma reaches and Pulls Regina over a few steps,"here.."
Becoming more irritated and rolling her eyes Regina asks "Why?"
Emma lets out a half hearted laugh,slugging her arm over Regina pointing to a 'now leaving sign' to their right.
"Well toto I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.." She joked.
Lost for words Regina just stands there. Her thoughts going wild, she had been waiting for this moment almost all her life and now here it is. A single tear escaped when she felt the weight of the world being lifted off her shoulders,by an invisible state line. Giving Emma a smile she lets out a breathy sigh turning both of them to the empty road,
"What are we waiting for then?, lets go.."
