(Not Afraid Anymore- Halsey)
It had been a week since the princess had left the white kingdom. Her parents unaware of where their young daughter had gone and have yet to receive any contact from her.
"What do you mean you allowed her to leave?" Emmett asked. He had just returned from his tour around the kingdom to check in with the people. His parents had just informed him of his twin sister's departure.
"She didn't want to stay, sweetheart," Snow assured him, "she was miserable. She pleaded to leave, she wants to control her magic."
"How can you be so sure she hasn't run into the wrong people?" Emmett dead panned looking to his mother.
"I don't," Snow sighed, "but I assure you that Emma can take care of herself."
"I am aware of Emma's capabilities mother, but she hasn't had much training she never leaves her room," Emmett sighed pushing a hand through his hair. "I have to go look for her."
"No," Snow pointed, "You can't leave this kingdom, we don't know where she went and it could take weeks to find her, and you aren't as strong as her."
"So you are doubting my abilities," the teenager scoffed.
"No, but I am telling you the magic Emma uses to survive is a lot stronger than anything you can handle," Snow said pleading with her son, "I know just how strong you are sweetheart, you are very brave and you can use a sword unlike any other knight in this kingdom, but Emma, her magic is true love's darkest magic."
"And son, true love's magic is already the strongest magic in all of the realms, but when it turns dark it's deadly," David said entering the room.
"She wouldn't hurt me," Emmett said looking to his father.
"We aren't saying she would," Snow met the green eyes of her son, "but I'm not sure you could survive the forests she has traveled through."
"Then I guess I will have to find out for myself," Emmett stormed toward the door, "I'm going to find my sister."

Emma had been training with the Evil Queen's ever growing army learning to properly fight with a sword should she ever have to. She had also been training to use her magic with the Queen herself.
"What do you see?" Regina asked as she circled Emma who had her eyes closed. They were standing in the brunette's bed chambers like they did every afternoon after the knight's training in the courtyard.
"A horse," Emma smiled, "and you, you were meeting a man by a tree, you couldn't tear your eyes away from him, you wanted him to be your true love."
"You saw a happy moment," Regina said with a tear in her eye as she remembered the moment very vividly.
"Yes," Emma sighed moving away from the Queen.
"Why are you upset? You're learning to control what you see," Regina said moving to the blonde.
"Truthfully?" Emma asked turning to meet brown eyes that were hazed in confusion.
"Seeing you happy with someone," Emma said trying to hide her face as best as possible, "gives me more pain than any memory I have laid my eyes upon."
"Well assure you, my knight," Regina sighed moving closer to the blonde, "it was a long time ago."
"And where do you find your happiness now?" Emma asked feeling brave.
"With you," Regina said moving to the blonde's cheek as she enveloped thin pink lips in her own.
Emma couldn't believe this was happening. She felt the whole world stop in one moment. Regina was her soul focus. She would protect this woman for as long as she may live. As they parted once bright green eyes were consumed by darkness.
"The darkness has consumed you, dear," Regina said moving her hand through blonde curls.
"It feels good," Emma smiled moving from Regina as she the magic in her body move through her veins.
"And what would your mother think?" Regina smirked staring at the beautiful blonde before her.
"I stopped caring for my mother's approval a long time ago," Emma moved to walk to the balcony, "once she found out that Emmett was free of any darkness her soul focus was him. She would go weeks without seeing me. She wanted me to be sheltered she didn't want my ever-growing darkness to turn my soul black so she kept me from harms way. Which only led me to the darkest place on earth, my own mind."
"Is that why you wanted to leave?" Regina asked moving towards the blonde. Emma nodded.
"I have always felt severely out of place," Emma said leaning on the edge, "Like I was only there because I was their daughter."
"You will never feel out of place with me I promise," Regina smiled encircling her arm around Emma's waist.
"You haven't met all of me," Emma sighed.
"What do you mean, dear?" Regina questioned.
"Another reason I wasn't useful to my parents," Emma said casting her eyes down, "they are unable to wed me to a suitor to help their kingdom."
"I'm not sure I understand you dear," the Queen said feeling completely in the dark.
"I was born differently than other girls," she said motioning down.
"Oh, dear," Regina smiled, "you think that would turn me away?" Emma watched her with a sheepish smile. "You princess, are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen, and nothing could ever change that."
"You do know my beauty is used as a means of destruction," Emma smiled as she walked toward the Queen, "to draw people in and make them weak."
"Well I assure you dear, I am only my strongest with you around," Regina smiled as she kissed Emma once more. The kiss became a battle between the two as they fought for the dominance but it all ended when they both felt a disturbance within the castle.
"Emmett."

Emmett had traveled nearly all night through the next day knowing that if Emma had truly wanted to control dark magic, she would go to the epitome of darkness. The Evil Queen.
He wandered through the darkness taking down each guard with a switch of his blade searching the castle for his sister before he appeared before the door of the queen's bedchamber's; the door opened.
"Emma!" he yelled as he saw blonde curls. Emma turned to meet the gaze of her brother but her face hadn't shown an etch of happiness.
"What are you doing, Emmett?" Emma smiled evil as she walked from the room out to the hall where her brother was holding the sword firmly.
"I've come to get you," Emmett said before the Queen came into view as well, "away from her, she is evil Emma."
"Dear, you must be mistaken, Emma here isn't leaving," the Queen smiled as she put a hand on the blonde's shoulder.
"Emma-," Emmett started but the blonde cut him off.
"Stop!" she screamed, "I'm not coming back brother," she grinned. "I am not meant to live in ignorance and shade myself from the world."
"We can talk to our parents Emma, i'm sure they will let you outside the castle, please," Emmett pleaded.
"It's too late," Emma laughed, "I have been chained up too many times in that castle to feel comfortable there." She grinned stepping closer to her brother who was growing weak, "here I am wanted, I am needed, and I am loved." she turned to look at her Queen who smiled lovingly. "You need to leave."
"But Emma she is only using you!" He screamed to her as she walked away, "she only wants you for your darkness, for your power, you can control it; you don't have to be dark."
"I always have been, and I always will be," Emma smiled, "and i've accepted it and embraced it, and wouldn't have it any other way. Now leave."
"But Emma-," He pleaded.
"I said leave!" she screamed as magic left her hands and pushed her brother to the opposing wall with a large crash of his sword on the ground, "and tell the Queen I am not coming home."

Hours had passed since her brother's departure from the castle and Emma had still not uttered a word. The blonde had left the Queen's bedchamber's and walked the grounds of the castle for several hours.
"Emma," Regina said noticing the blonde had finally returned.
"I'm not here to talk about it Regina," Emma assured her before sitting on the ledge of the balcony.
"Emma you must have some feelings about it," Regina said approaching the young blonde.
"Other than the fact that my perfect brother and the guy who comes first in everything, just tried to storm in here and 'save the day' and rescue me," Emma laughed sadly, "the only thing i've come first in, in my life, is being born."
"You will always be the first in my kingdom," Regina said resting her head on a strong shoulder.
"Oh yeah?" Emma smirked turning to the Queen who nodded. "Care to show me your majesty?"
Regina didn't even hesitate to attach her lips to thin pink one's in front of her. Emma moaned with each breath of air as she surfaced.
"You know we probably shouldn't do this out in the open," Emma smiled grabbing Regina's waist as she transported them to the Queen's bed.
As soon as they appeared the blonde began attacking the brunette's necks with every dip her head. Slowly memorizing every spot Regina moaned at the touch. The Queen finally flicked her wrist ridding them of all the clothes that served as barriers for several minutes and now they were both as bear as could be.
"You are absolutely breathtaking your majesty," Emma smiled running her fingers down Regina's body admiring every inch, "so beautiful."
"So are you my knight," Regina said finding the blonde's hard shaft, "I don't think I will ever be able to let you go."
"Then it is a very good thing you don't have too," the blonde smiled.
Slowly the blonde slip her fingers into the slick folds beneath her and relished in the wetness that was just for her. She allowed her fingers to dip inside slightly before pulling them out and encasing them in her mouth. "You taste amazing my Queen."
"I want to feel you Emma," Regina pleaded and before she could utter another word the blonde filled her slowly and instantaneously she felt better than she had in years. "Mmm Emma." She moaned deeply as the blonde was thrusting in and out of her building pace as the seconds passed.
"Your are so enticing, my Queen," Emma said taking one of the brunette's nipples into her mouth and sucking hard causing a low groan from the woman below her.
"Fuck me harder," she said throwing her head back in pure ecstasy. Emma continued thrusting in and out as hard as she could before Regina cried out in pleasure. Soon Emma was unraveling as well.
"That was-," Emma smiled trying to catch her breath.
"Mhm," Regina nodded in approval as she moved to lay across the blonde's chest. "You are absolutely astonishing."
"I can only say the same for you as well," Emma kissed dark tresses, "I'm going to freshen up, get some rest."
"Do you have to go?" Regina leaned up looking into green eyes that were walking to the bathroom.
"I'll be back in a moment, I promise," Emma smiled winking at the exhausted Queen who nodded and lied down.
The blonde was gone for about fifteen minutes and emerged from the ensuite bathroom to see her queen in a maroon gown looking as good as ever.
"Regina…" Emma said fastening the button of her leather pants. All of a sudden she realized the Queen had been talking to the faces on the other side of the mirror. "Emma!" she heard from the mirror before she came face to face with the person she had left purposefully.
"Regina why are you talking to her?" Emma said resting a hand on the brunette's shoulder.
"She contacted me wanting to see you, darling," Regina sighed meeting the green eyes above her, "I was just informing her that you weren't coming home."
"Emma needs to return home she needs her heart protected from the darkness," Snow pleaded looking from the the Queen to her daughter.
"Have you forgotten mother?" Emma smiled maliciously, "my heart has already been consumed by darkness, I've embraced it why can't you."
"Emma you can't stay with her she is evil," Snow yelled into the mirror before her, "she will make everything worse."
"You and dad are still fighting aren't you?" Emma smiled.
"Emma-," Snow started.
"I mean I didn't think it would last this long, but it's gotten worse I can see it," Emma smirked. "I can also see that Emmett decided to voice his opinion to you upon his arrival back home, you should probably tend to his injuries, he can't withstand pain like me."
"You have already turned dark, haven't you?" Snow asked looking to her daughter was looking to the Queen below her admiringly.
"Mother it was only a matter of time," Emma smiled, "you kept me trapped in a castle driving myself insane." Emma caught the eye of her mother who looked ashamed, "you would have guards chain me up and lock my magic inside my body, do you know what locking magic away does to someone?" Emma yelled, "Answer me!"
"No, Emma I don't," she sighed.
"It hurts," Regina piped up, "it's very painful, almost as if you are being set on fire and as moments go on it feels like being beaten until flesh can no longer stay on your bones." Regina said letting a tear fall as she went on, "and as you see that no one is there inflicting the pain you feel as though you have driven yourself mad and that your mind is playing tricks on you."
"It is a pain I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies," Emma seethed, "but mother I hope you one day feel the hell you put me through," she smirked, "tell dad if he wishes to no longer sleep on the couch we have plenty of space here." and with that, the blonde used her magic to end the conversation and was once again met with her reflection.
