burn
FrozenFan5577 asked for a oneshot from Emma's POV when it appears that Snow is burning at the stake. Also, that last one shot was for JustInDreams. I think it was the dots that made it go funny
"No." Emma thought silently, as she saw her from the window. Being pulled out to the stake by Regina's guards. Somewhere deep within her heart she knew there was nothing that could be done, but that didn't stop her from wanting to try. "We gotta get down there before it's too late!" She pleaded with the group. Nobody moved. David shook his head sadly.
"I don't think we can." He replied sadly. Emma wanted to grab his shoulders and shake him. To tell him that that was his wife down there- the mother of his children! The mother of her! But she knew she couldn't, so all she wanted to do instead was fall to the floor in a heap and wail. She watched the bag being placed over her mother's head. The sick grin growing wider on Regina's face. Emma now knew for certain that nothing could be done. This was the end. Her mother was about to die and she couldn't save her. Emma felt her knees giving way.
"No." She gasped, unable to say anything else. She felt the pirate grab her shoulders and pull her to him, keeping her upright. He was the only one, of course, who had even an inkling of an idea of what she must be feeling. But even he had no idea really. All Emma wanted to do was grab her mother from that stake and hold her close. Tell her all the things she now wished she'd told her as soon as they both knew the truth. Tell her that she loved her. That she never wanted to be without her family again. That she now couldn't live without her.
She felt unable to look away. Like she had to watch the fire ball light up Regina's hand. All she wanted to do in that moment was trade places with her mom. She didn't want her to die. She wasn't even thinking about the consequences that this would have for her- that she wouldn't exist. All she cared about was her mom, and how she didn't want to lose her. How every time she found her they were ripped apart again and it wasn't fair!
Then, it happened. She watched as the flame shot from Regina's hand and engulfed her mother's body. She put her hand to her mouth, trying to stop the scream she knew was building up. The scream of the word she had not used nearly enough- mom. Somewhere in the distance it felt like, Emma could hear the howl of a wolf. But nothing really mattered anymore. She was gone. Her mom was gone.
Hope you enjoyed! If you have any Charming family oneshot requests for me please tell me so I can add them to the story! ^^
