SWAN QUEEN CHAPTER 2 One Found,Another Lost.
Light filtered through the window shutters at the Storybrooke Sheriffs office. Emma sat at her messy paper strewn desk, her head deep in paper work. The room in which she sat looked as though it had not been cleaned for days. There were balled up pieces of paper scattered all over the floor, a half eaten sandwich on the desk behind her and you could tell there was at least a few layers of dust on the file cabinet in the corner. She had really let this place go since Kathryn's been missing. She had put this case on the top of her priority list. She had a strong gut feeling that Mary Margret was innocent , she just had to prove it. Her eyebrows furrowed as she concentrated on what was being read. She kept shaking her head each time. You could tell she was beginning to get frustrated. "urggghhhh...!" she let out throwing her hands in the air. " I can't find anything of use!" she said looking across the room.
Across the room up against the wall stood the prisoner holding cell, inside stood no one other than Mary Margret. She had been in there since the moment the box was found and since David provided the statement that he remembered telling her not to kill Kathryn. This has been nothing but a living nightmare for Mary Margret. You could tell by the way she looked that she wasn't eating nor sleeping,she looked almost fragile. She stood , her 2 hands grasping the bars,her shoulders hunched and head bent towards the bars. She looked like a homeless person,wearing a baggy grey sweater and skinny jeans with ruffled hair, she was certainly not looking herself. Besides how could she? She was being held for murder. I'm sure anyone would be the same in her place.
"it's like the perfect crime and I'm being perfectly framed for it." Mary Margret said breaking into sobs. " even, David thinks I did it."
" I promise i will find a way. Something just isn't right, It all seems off to me, I just can't seem to put my finger on it." Emma said making her way towards the holding cell. " you just gotta hang on"
"hang on?" Margret said through sobs. "I didn't do anything wrong." Emma put her hand to her forehead, she was frustrated and didn't know what other move there was to play. She was sheriff and it was her job to bring justice and safety to Storybrooke and she had in her holding cell an innocent woman.
" It's lunchtime." Emma said looking at her watch. " you want me get you anything from Granny's?" she asked. She really needed to get out of the office,as it was beginning to take a mental toll on her. It's not that she wanted to leave,but she felt like she had to. Plus it was that time of the day when she had some place to be, an important meeting to keep.
"no, I'm ok, you go on ahead, you've worked really hard, you need a break." Mary Margret said as she began wiping her tears away.
" I'll still bring you something back." Emma said as she held hold of Mary Margret's hand gently giving it a squeeze.
Emma walked across the room taking her red jacket with her, as she walked out the door. It was now twenty minutes to twelve and she was late. The afternoon sun shone high in the sky, a pretty warm day in Storybrooke, no need for her jacket. Everyone seemed busy carrying on with their lives up and down Main Street. Emma got into her yellow bug vehicle and drove off down the street. She drove pass Granny's feeling so guilty for lying to Mary Margret that she did not even have the nerve to glance over to her left. She took another look at her watch, oh boy was she late. She drove all the way out of Main Street to the residential area of Storybrooke,she parked her car on the corner near an empty lot of land and got out, walking the rest of the way. She kept her head down and hands her in pockets as she walked, trying not to call any attention to herself. She then causally strolled up a pathway of a house, which she knew particularly well. She'd been here a week ago on a cold dark stormy night and every other day since then. She was very alert to everything around her, she looked around carefully before entering the door not stopping to ring the door bell or even knock a few times. As she entered she turned and locked the door behind her. This has practically been her ritual for the past couple of days.
She could not afford to let anyone know what was going on and neither could Regina, her being the Mayor and all. People might say that the justice system has been corrupted or bought by the mayor and everyone knows that Regina didn't want Emma to be the sheriff in the first place,but I guess the sheriff was sorta bought or corrupted . Gold got Emma the job in the least likely way,by almost killing Emma and Regina in the process.
" Regina, where are you?" Emma called as she walked over to the grand staircase.
" You're late..!" Regina said from behind Emma. She stood at the entrance to the kitchen with her arms folded with that soul piercing stare. If it was one thing that Emma adored about Regina,it was her Chocolate-brown eyes that glowed bright as embers on a fire during their sex.
"I know." was all Emma could say as she was caught off guard at the sight of Regina. Against the white of the wall there she stood in a blood-red suit, trimmed with black. Emma wasn't sure if what she felt was lust,but she could not get enough of this woman. Her brain immediately turned to goo, everything else seemed to disappear. I guess she loved that feeling she got, the ability for Regina make her seem as though she was the only person who existed.
"now we can't..." was all Regina could say before being cut off by Emma.
" i know." Emma said as she looked at the floor, fiddling with her car keys.
" we might as well eat then. I made lunch and I have to get back to the office soon, i have a meeting to attend to." said Regina as she turned around walking away with Emma trailing her at the back. They entered the kitchen. Regina had been indeed cooking. Whatever it was smelled pretty good. Emma sat her self on the high stool near the counter top watching Regina get the food out.
" what did you cook then?" Emma asked as she tried to craned her neck over Regina's shoulder to see.
"it's pasta. You'll eat it won't you?"
" yes, it's a shame though that it's the only thing I would be eating while I'm here." Emma said with a scoff. Regina quickly turned around at that comment staring at her bug-eyed. " can i help with something?" Emma asked getting off the stool and moving over to Regina's side. It was a very quaint kitchen,not to small though. It was like everything else in this house,white. Everything neatly stored and organized. It was something to be admired in Emma's eyes, Regina's uncanny ability to keep everything so neat and tidy and in place, Emma figured she maybe had a OCD problem.
" am yeah, in the oven, my apple turn overs." Regina said pointing to the oven.
" you had time to make apple turn overs." Emma said getting hold of oven mittens and taking the turn overs out of the oven and on to a cooling rack Regina had set up on the counter.
" well you were late, you took your precious time getting here, so i figured i might as well." Regina said standing shoulder to shoulder with Emma, they both staring at the apple turn overs.
" well they do look pretty good." Emma said.
"you know what else would have been good.?" Asked Regina as she turned towards Emma.
" what?" Emma asked looking into Regina's eyes.
"this." Regina said, taking hold of Emma's hand and sliding it down her pants. "you were late and this happened." she said looking into Emma's eyes. Emma's stomach did a somersault, she could feel just how much her being late ruined Regina's plans. Emma's breathing immediately changed. Her entire body shuddered, all she knew was that she wanted more and her fingers went to work. Regina gasp at the movements, gently taking her hand brushing strands of Emma's blonde hair away from her face, her finger tips tracing the outline of her lips, caressing Emma's face. Their bodies pressed against each other, Regina tilted Emma's face taking hold of her chin, bringing Emma's lips to hers. A hunger took over them, their kisses deep and sensual. Regina pressed Emma against the counter top, wanting everything possible out of this moment. They both felt heat rising, temperatures changing, desperation taking over. They knew what they wanted and they both went after it. Regina's hand quickly went down to Emma's jeans, undoing the button, slipping her hands in to meet a warm wet surprise. Emma desperately undid Regina's shirt buttons, kissing her chest. Emma's teeth sunk into the swells of Regina's warm breasts, she began tugging at Regina's bra, pulling them down, freeing Regina's breasts,they both going intensely insane at that moment.
A sound of phone ringing slowly slithered into their moment, breaking Emma's concentration. She tried her best to ignore it, Regina finally got Emma's shirt off and was working her way under her bra, but there was no way of shaking the ringing of the phone.
"Reg... Regina, my phone." Emma said out of breath.
" leave it." Regina said pressing her lips against Emma's. That seemed to work for a while. The phone rang and rang then finally stopped, only for it to start back up again.
" it's ringing again." Emma said in between kisses.
" what's with you? i said leave it." Regina said with anger in her voice. Emma looked at her, her eyes changed, those embers were now on stared at her, pulling her shirt back on and backing away. Emma took the phone out of her pocket. The caller ID read Ruby.
"Hey Ruby." Emma answered looking at Regina. She had her arms folded and she was indeed angry.
" you need to get down here, like now." Ruby said, her voice shaking.
" what? why, now?" said Emma. Regina's shoulders straighten, she detected something was going on.
" why what is it?" Emma asked.
"just get here." Ruby said before putting the phone down. Emma looked at the phone with a confused look upon a face.
" well what is it?" Regina asked with anger.
" i don't know." Emma replied.
"you don't know?" Regina said with arms folded, " ha! you don't know? we stopped all so you can answer to not know anything." She straighten her bra and began buttoning her shirt. " you were late, and now this."
" I'm sorry, I am working on a case, as you know. It is your best friend who went missing." Emma said buttoning her pants. "plus it's my friend who got tangled all in it."
" have you ever stopped to maybe think she is guilty." Regina said, her eyes bore into Emma.
" NO not once!" Emma yelled back smoothing her shirt.
" she is guilty and you should just accept that and send her off to prison!" Regina said walking over to the table.
"innocent until proven guilty." Emma said.
" what more do you need to prove that she's killed Kathryn? they found her heart with Mary Margret's finger prints on the box, even David said he told her not to kill Kathryn"
" how can you say that? she's your friend, I'd have expected you to be more brokenhearted that she's missing." Emma said as she walked over to Regina. Just then another phone began to ring, Regina got up and walked over to her bag on one of the cupboards, and answered.
" hello?... i need to what?. now?... but I'm busy... ok fine." and just like that Regina hung up. She turned to Emma and said " what ever happened I'm needed to."
" ok, well i guess I'll see you in town." Emma said
" yeah. Where does Mary Margret think you are?"
" At Granny's having lunch, i promised I'd bring her something back."
" you should leave first. They all know I'm at home having lunch." Regina said helping Emma straighten her shirt. Emma went up to the bathroom and washed her hands, her stomach rumbled and it occurred to her that they didn't even get around to eating,now she'd have to wait till dinner.
Emma was the first to arrive at Granny's. When she got there, she came face to face with a crowd of were they crowding around? Emma forced herself through, bumping into people and stepping on a few toes. Normally around this time of the day, everyone would be winding down from the lunch time rush and getting back to work, but it looks as though they had better things to do, like for instance stand in a crowd, gawking at something. When Emma got to the center of the crowd she was unprepared to process what she saw, she stood in utter disbelief, she saw Ruby kneeling on the ground along with Sidney, seated between them sat a woman,covered in dirt, clothes almost in shreds, hair tangled with twigs and pebbles, it was Kathryn, very much alive. Emma stood frozen, unaware of her surroundings, someone pushed at her from the back.
" what is going on here?" it was Regina's voice. Regina looked at Emma's face and at the direction she was looking at. Regina's face froze. " Kathryn" Regina managed out and ran to her friend's side. Emma managed to unfreeze at that moment.
" We need to get her to right away." Emma said.
"we called for an ambulance, they should be here any second." Ruby said looking up. In the distance the blare of a siren came, the crowd began to disperse. It was a wonder that Ruby managed to kneel in those tight red pants. She always dressed like that, always in red and always something tight. Emma didn't judge, to his, his own. Granny came out from the diner bringing with her a glass of water.
" Where's David? has anyone seen him" Emma asked. He now had some serious explaining to do and Emma couldn't wait to have him in the hot seat at the station. The ambulance came blazing down Main Street. They got Kathryn strapped in. Emma could see Regina at the corner with Sidney having what seemed to an argument. Emma walked over and the arguing stopped.
"Madam Mayor, they need someone to ride with her, I think it's best you go seeing as we can't find David." Emma said giving Sidney a deep hard stare.
" very well Miss Swan." Regina said walking off to the ambulance, without even looking at Emma. Emma knew that they couldn't let anyone know about their, well, she wasn't exactly sure what it was. She never put any thought into it, she didn't want to put any faith into it, seeing as Regina wanted it to kept a secret and Emma agreed to it. It wasn't exactly the most healthy thing for Henry, especially seeing as he had the fairytale notion of Storybrooke. Emma stood alongside Sidney looking at Regina getting into the ambulance,before it driving off.
" why was she arguing with you?" Emma asked looking at Sidney.
" oh nothing, you know the Mayor." Sidney said before walking off going about his business.
Emma entered Granny's she had to interview Ruby seeing as she was the one who supposedly found Kathryn. It wasn't much of an interview the only information that she could give was that Ruby was coming in from dropping off an order when she saw Kathryn walking out of the alleyway. When Emma asked about Sidney she said that he had just come out of Granny's and was heading back to work. It didn't leave Emma with a lot to work with. She needed David. David had to have answers,it was his fault that Mary Margret ended up in the prisoner cell down at the began to interview everyone that had managed to stick around and was witness to Kathryn appearing in the alleyway. Emma sat going through the interview notes past and present, deep in thought, munching away on a tuna sandwich, despite her being in deep concentration she was happy she was finally eating something.
" um, Sheriff Swan." a voice said. Emma looked up and seated to her right sat Dr. Hopper the town's psychologist. A thin man, with curled hair,wire framed glasses and always with his dog and an umbrella.
"Dr. Hopper can I help you." said Emma.
" well, i thought this might be of some help to you. I last saw David heading out to the forest. He said he was going to find some clues or possibly Kathryn"
" Dr. Hopper that was helpful thank you. I will look into it as soon as i can." Emma said getting up from her seat and walking out the door.
She drove down to the hospital where she saw Dr. Whale talking to Regina. The hospital wasn't as busy as Emma had thought it would have been. Doctors and nurses walked around lazily. Emma's nose curled at that smell emanating from the hospital,you know that smell? everyone knows that smell, every hospital has, it's a smell of medicine, disinfect and sickness all mixed into one. As Emma approached she saw Dr. Whale check his pager and hurried off.
" well what did he say?" Emma asked stopping just in front of her.
" She's just banged up a bit, she has a few cuts and bruises,but other than that she's fine and just needs to rest. Have you found David?" asked Regina, folding her arms together.
" I got a tip about where he is, but I decided to check in on Kathryn, before I get Mary Margret out and go after David." Emma said admiring the curves of Regina's body. She was still revived up from earlier that day. It was now evening and the sun had set by the time Emma had gotten to the hospital, taking statements from almost everyone who was in the crowd, took longer than she thought. " have you heard from Henry?" Emma asked
" yes, he's at home doing his home work." said Regina. She looked at Emma longingly, Emma sensed that Regina was also winded up from earlier that day.
" Are you staying for Kathryn?" Emma asked.
" um, Dr. Whale said she was doing fine, so I guess not. I haven't seen Henry all day and I'd like to have a nice dinner at home with him." Regina said looking at her watch." would you take me to town to get my car" Regina asked as she pulled her handbag up to her shoulder.
"yes sure." Emma said as they both began walking out the hospital. Emma was so happy to be out of there and to get away from that smell. Emma couldn't have gotten a decent park up front, she ended up parking all the way to the back. When they got to the car Emma unlocked the doors and Regina stood at the front passengers side of the car." is there a problem?" asked Emma as she moved across to Regina's side.
" Yes there is." Regina said as she pulled Emma in close to her." we haven't finished what we started, and I'd like very much to finish it." She then kissed Emma." now" she said then got back to kissing Emma. Regina inched herself to the door of the back seat of the car, opened it and they both tumbled in. Emma thought for a split second that this was going to be very uncomfortable seeing as her car was very small. They could hardly move,but Regina was being very demanding. Emma stopped only to close the door behind them, only to be yanked back down. "just get me off!" Regina demanded. " i want it badly." she said with her chest heaving. Emma tore into her shirt, buttons being snapped. Emma needed to see her breasts,those creamy olive-skinned breasts. Emma was going insane, she wanted it just as badly as Regina did. What got her like this was Regina saying to her that she wanted it badly. Emma's mouth found the peaks of Regina's breasts with her lips, taking them into her mouth, Regina's moans echoed in the car, only giving Emma the encouragement to continue this quickie. Emma's hand went down Regina's pants, finding her wet spot. Regina's back arched at the touch of Emma's fingers in her. She took her hands and brought them around Emma's shoulders, her nails piercing cloth and skin. Emma sunk her teeth into the soft swells of Regina's breasts." aaaahhh" Regina got out from deep in her 's hand found its way into Emma's pants. They both were in pure bliss, the windows began to fog, moans filled the sound of the car. Their sweaty bodies pressed against each other, rolling around together in the backseat of the car. Their moans got more intense, their shaking bodies fighting as hard as they could to hold on, to last longer, but it was impossible for them both. They began shaking, both their bodies tensed, Emma's head laid on Regina's chest , as her orgasm hit her, wave after wave of intense pleasure filling her body. Regina's eyes closed, barely able to control her body shaking, her body being slammed with intense orgasms rushing to her.
They both stayed in that place long after their orgasms had subsided, both unable to move, both satisfied beyond words. It was another 20mins that passed by when they both began to stir. They both didn't say a word as they both made their-selves decent.
"well that was...mind-blowing" Regina said as she pulled her suit jacket over her shirt that were clearly missing a few buttons. Emma reached over and gave her a long sweet kiss. Regina paused after before saying " that was also mind blowing"
" it was." Emma said as she straighten her pants before getting out the car and getting into the front seat, with Regina following her. They both sat in silence as Emma drove Regina back to town to get her car. Emma's body still felt the effects of what had just happened as she sat quietly her body still shaking from her intense climax, her heart beat only just beginning to get back to normal. She had, had a long day and need nothing more than a bath and a nap,but before she could do that, she had to get Mary Margret out of prison. Emma pulled up behind Regina's parked car, which was parked all the way down from Granny's.
"how come you're parked here" asked Emma.
" there were a lot of people by the time I got here, I didn't have anywhere else to park,so I walked the rest." Regina answered as she got out the car, with Emma following her.
" oh well that makes sense I guess." Emma said as she walked Regina to her car door.
" well Emma, I will see you tomorrow, if you're not late." Regina said tugging on Emma's jacket.
" well I will probably see you, if I'm not caught up looking for David." Emma replied
"well, let me know." Regina said and she clicked her control on her car keys unlocking the car doors.
" good night Mayor Mills." Emma said
" good night Miss Swan" Regina replied and with that Emma turned to walk away.
"wait!" Regina yelled to her as she was about half way to her car.
" yes?" Emma said walking all the way back.
" I know you've eaten at Granny's since Mary Margret got arrested and I know there won't be anything at home, when you get her out, so here's one of my apple turnovers for her, just encase she's hungry when you get her home." Regina said handing over a dish.
"well that is very nice of you." Emma said taking it from Regina's outstretched hand.
They both got into their separate cars and drove off. Emma headed back to the station. When she got in she saw that Mary Margret was asleep in her cell. Emma quickly filed the paper work before waking her to get her out quickly without her having to wait till she did the papers.
"Mary Margret." Emma said as she opened the gate to the Margret stirred." Hey , time to get up."
"huh? what?" she said as she opened her eyes to see Emma standing there. "whats going on." she asked as she sat up wiping her eyes.
" you're free." Emma said with a huge smile.
"what do you mean I'm free." she asked standing up
" Kathryn somehow wandered into town. I'm not exactly sure what happened. I didn't get to speak to her yet, she's resting down at the hospital." Emma said leading Mary Margret out of the cell.
"Kathryn's alive!" Mary Margret exclaimed. "but they found a heart!"
" like I said, I'm not exactly sure what's going on,but it all leads back to David and the first thing tomorrow I'm gonna go get him in and have a serious talk ." Emma said
Mary Margret embraced Emma with tears flowing from her eyes, she was so happy to be out and free, her name cleared. She couldn't wait to get home. Emma took her back to the apartment. They both relieved to be back home, with comfortable beds and a shower.
"you must be starving,I haven't exactly been cleaning up nor keeping up with the groceries,but i got this apple turnover if you'd want it." said Emma as they walked into the kitchen
"that's lovely thank you.I'll have it now." Mary Margret said.
"ok, well I'm gonna have a shower. I'll see you in a bit." Emma said as she made her way up the stairs to her room. Oh her glorious bed greeted her as she opened the door to her room. Everything just the way she had left it. She hadn't exactly been sleeping in the apartment, she opted for staying at Granny's cause she didn't think it was a good idea to stay at Mary Margret's while she wasn't around. Emma took her clothes off and went in to the bath. She felt so good soaking in the tub, just letting the dirt of the day wash off her. Everything was a big ball of confusion,but tomorrow she will find David and have everything sorted out. Her thoughts ran to Regina. Emma had no idea what was going on between them both. She didn't want to put a label to it, it was what it was and that was it. The thoughts of being in the car with her, excited Emma once more, but she fought herself from doing anything at that moment in the bath. When she had decided she had unwounded enough to go out and face Mary Margret whom she was sure was filled with a lot of question she got out and got dressed and headed down the stairs.
" wow I had such a lovely bath." Emma said as she walked into the kitchen only to come face to face with Mary Margret laying on the ground, the apple turnover next to her...
