Hello! Thank your for your faves, follows and reviews. Here's Chapter 2 :)
For a second Emma's vision blurred, she clutched the back of the couch- to steady herself. Without really paying much attention, she could hear Regina shuffling papers around.
The blonde took a few moments- to find her grip again, took a deep breath, and more or less nodded to herself.
Emma appeared in the study and just looked baffled at Regina, who was now looking intently at something on her desk.
"Regina, please say something!" Emma pleaded. Regina visibly tensed, looked back up from her desk at Emma and swallowed.
"You're a werewolf, Emma!" Regina whispered and Emma felt like someone was pouring ice- cold water down on her.
Emma just stood there - stock still and stared at the brunette. Realization dawning on her. Then she opened her mouth and it was suddenly too hard to breathe.
"What? Come on, no...We're not on True Blood or something. There's no such thing, not at least in this dimension, right?!" Emma blurted out, scared and very angry.
Regina nodded and looked thoughtfully at her phone, "That is true, I thought so too. There are werewolves in the enchanted forest, as you know Ruby is one of them. I don't know if there are some in this world - if that is really possible and if they are the same." The brunette explained and Emma swallowed.
It took a few seconds before Regina's words actually reached Emma's brain.
"Fuck...Fuck...Fuck..what now? Dammit! Shit, how is that possible?" Emma cursed quietly, running her fingers through her hair, while she started to pace around.
"Emma! You got to calm down!" Regina raised her voice, Emma's head whipped around and she looked at Regina.
"I'm going to call Granny and then we'll see." Regina spoke quietly, touching the blondes upper arm. The sheriff just nodded.
Regina dialed Granny's number and walked out of the room, into the kitchen. Emma understood every word, but it was almost as if she didn't care. She had to accept this, which was nearly impossible for her.
Five Minutes later, Regina came back and looked at Emma, who just stood there - lost.
"She was very surprised, she didn't know it was possible in this realm. She did read about some myths, but never took them seriously." Regina explained and let her eyes wander over Emma's form - there was now a glow around the blonde, she hadn't recognized before.
Emma closed her eyes and rubbed them tiredly
"Hmm..What about the full moon?" she asked quietly and Regina watched her patiently
"That might be different as well. The first full moon will be...well horrible. Granny mentioned chains or else you'd slaughter Storybrooke!" - Regina explained this very carefully.
Granny was always so..straight to the point, one feat that could either sting or make you laugh.
A look of horror crossed Emma's face and she took a deep breath or she'd suffocate.
"But once you've learned to control the wolf, it's in your hands. You can transform where and whenever you want to." Regina quickly explained, to calm the blonde further.
"Oh how great! That's...that's just perfect. I'm a ticking bomb! And shouldn't I be able to control it, I could harm you or Henry or my family!" Emma spit and let her head fall in her hands.
The young sheriff was about to lose herself as she felt the inner beast slowly waking up.
She wanted to punch something or might as well eat it alive. 30 years of anger very there - truly real!
Two warm hands suddenly closed around her wrists and Emma slowly raised her head, gazing into deep brown eyes.
Regina kneeled before her and held her gaze, "Emma, it's going to be hard, but you will get through this. Who or whatever this was will eventually show it's face. And then you will make them pay!" She whispered and smiled briefly.
"What if I can't?!" Emma whispered, scared. Regina sighed tiredly
"Where is the Emma that loves to irritate me, who loves being a pain in my gorgeous ass?!" Regina asked challenging and earned a small smile from the blonde.
"It's late and you're clearly exhausted, you can sleep in my guestroom." Regina then offered carefully.
Emma was about to decline, but immediately felt fear and panic. The blonde nodded and realized that it might be better to stay there - close to Regina - for the night. Somehow she felt a lot safer whenever she was with the brunette. She didn't know why.
Regina slowly got up from her knees when she heard Emma's quiet voice "Regina..."
Regina stopped and looked back at Emma. "Yes?"
"Thank you and promise me one thing?"
Regina raised one eyebrow at that and gazed questioningly at Emma.
"If I ever lose my control, please kill me...Please. I could never live with myself, if I'd ever do something terrible!" Emma whispered
Regina swallowed hard "I highly doubt that I will ever have to do that, but yes..if it ever comes to that, I will kill you! I promise.." She whispered, swallowing the lump in her throat, and turned around to leave the room as fast as she could.
The thought of killing Emma made her head swim and her stomach drop. No, she would not let that happen, she would not have to do that!
