Regina sat there staring at the wolf that just talked to her. She wasn't phased that there was a talking wolf in her house it was the fact that it said it's known Emma for a while.

"What do you mean you've known my Emma for quite some time?" Regina asked

"Emma and I were in the foster system together," Wolf-Ashley said

"How is that possibly you would have to be human," Regina said

"Whoever said I wasn't human? Have you ever heard of Blutbad?" Wolf-Ashley asked

"No, I don't know that," Regina said

"Well, I like the term better it's German it translates to, blood bath. I'm a werewolf. Well, a werewolf-elf a hybrid. And I can transform into a wolf at well but I've been trapped in this form for a while. I didn't know what to do so I wondered around. I managed to find Emma she had never seen me in this form so I decided that I'd protect her." Wolf-Ashley said

"How am I sure I can trust you?"

"What do you want me to do?" Wolf-Ashley said

"Can you transform back?"

"I think I can try," Wolf-Ashley said

Ashley got up from where she laid and walked over to the mirror in Regina's room. She closed her eyes to feel the transformation at place feeling her body turning back human she collapsed on the floor not used to being on two legs now.

"Okay….I wasn't expecting that to work." Ashley said

"Well, I can trust you. Can we keep this between you and me I don't want to tell Emma? She's been through so much right now her learning on of her childhood friends is a hybrid isn't going to make her feel better." Regina said

"I understand. I'll transform back but I have to ask when you feed me can it be cooked meat?" Ashley asked

"Yes, I will make sure I don't feed you dog food," Regina said

"I appreciate that." With that Ashley transformed back into her wolf form as she laid next to Emma on the floor. She licked Emma's hand when she saw her tense.

"I need to ask you one more thing, though."

"Speak your question you may get an answer you may not get an answer it all depends if I want to answer them," Wolf-Ashley said

"Do you have a family? Can I keep in contact with them to tell them you're okay." Regina asked

"I do have a family. I have five kids coincidently I have a daughter name Snow and a son name Wolf we sometimes call Snow by the Japanese word for snow which is Yuki. I also have two adoptive kids Lucine and Drakkar we saved them from an abusive household and my biological daughter, Alex that I recently took back from an enemy and my wife, Luna knows I'm trapped from coming home until I save a friend." Wolf-Ashley said

"I'll keep in touch with them for you."

"Thank you," Wolf-Ashley said

"You're welcome," Regina said

Ashley fell asleep on the floor like how a dog would, after all, she is a wolf after all. Regina fell asleep next to Emma. Emma didn't get any sleep at all she was always trapped in her own nightmare never finding an escape. All she wanted was to be loved and be loved in return after the many years of feeling unloved in the foster system it was hard on her and it damaged how she saw herself.

"You're very stupid Swan you know that. What part of letting me go did you not understand!?" Killian yelled hitting Emma in the face with his hook hand sending her to the ground blood dripping down her face.

"But I love you that's why I did it," Emma said

"I guess I should be happy that you'd be stupid enough to bring your whole family to Hell to save me. You do know Regina's going to hate you for this. Here you are with me while Robin Hood is dead and so is the Lord of the Dead." Killian said

"I did it all for you," Emma said

"You're nothing, you're stupid, you're dirty, you're worthless and you'll soon realize that too," Killian said

"What are you going?" Emma asked

"Taking what is mine. Stripped." Killian yelled

"No, wait…I don't."

"I don't care what you want!" Killian yelled

"No….stop…..I said stop!"

Hearing Emma start whimpering Ashley's head popped up she hopped onto the bed as she started to lick Emma's forehead she started to howl to wake Regina up.

"Emma….wake up you're dreaming," Regina said

"R-Regina….I….make it stop." Emma pleaded as she threw herself into Regina's arms crying her heart out.

"It's going to be alright, dear," Regina said

"N-No it won't. H-He…."

"Emma what did Killian do to you?" Regina asked

"I didn't but he….I can't. Why."

"Emma, did Killian rape you?" Regina asked all Emma could do was a nod in Regina's shoulder. Ashley began to growl at the mention of this event. Emma removed herself from Regina to wrap her arms around the wolf's head.

"Don't hurt him Wolfie. I don't want the town to kill you." Emma said

"Yeah, we don't need that happening," Regina said

"W-What happened to Hook?" Emma asked

"I don't know really know. Wolfie seems to bite his leg." Regina said

"Y-You're not going to kick her out are you?" Emma asked

"No, she's your wolf and I'm sure she'll find a way back to you," Regina said

"I'm scared…." Emma said

"I will do everything in my power to keep you safe," Regina said

"Why are you doing this? I'm the reason why Robin's dead. You should hate me." Emma said

"I have my reasons. I'll tell you when you feel better." Regina said

"Okay…." Emma said

"Sleep my love. You'll need it." Regina said

Emma didn't fall asleep quickly. It took a while Regina talked to Emma keeping her calm explaining why Robin's death wasn't her fault. That she will always worth fixing because she's just a good person. Emma didn't fall asleep until she laid her head on Ashley. It broke Regina's heart what Emma's going through and it's taking everything in her power from going back there and killing Hook herself. How can he rape Emma? After everything, she's done for him? Going to hell to save his pathetic ass to be reduced to a broken and battered woman because she believed this man was her true love. How can someone who would talk so highly about true love just be such an ass?

"I'll kill him," Wolf-Ashley said

"Don't he'll get what's coming to him," Regina said

"I better hope so," Wolf-Ashley growled

The next morning Regina woke up to the adorable sight of Emma snuggling Ashley. Emma's head under Ashley it was interesting watching Emma interact with the wolf was very interesting to know who the wolf really is and knowing that the two of them were in the system together makes it very sweet especially how protective Ashley is of Emma. It's like an older sister looking out for her younger one.

"That's so adorable. Emma c'mon it's time to wake up." Regina said

"Why?" Emma asked

"You want to eat breakfast don't you?" Regina asked

"I'm not hungry," Emma stated

"Dear, you need to eat something," Regina said

"Okay….bring it up here I don't want to leave," Emma said

Regina nodded she left her room to get Emma some breakfast Henry was still asleep it was still pretty early. Bring up the plate to her room she saw Emma playing with the wolf she named Wolfie to calm herself down I guess.

"You do realize that's a wild animal and not a dog," Regina said

"Wolfie just seems familiar. Like I met her before." Emma said

"She's a wolf. I doubt you'd meet a wolf other than Ruby. Here eat." Regina said

"Do I have to?" Emma asked

"Yes, you do unless you want to end up going to the hospital. Emma, I wanted to ask you if you want me to press charges on Killian for what he put you through." Regina asked

"That would only make him angry. He'll hurt me again." Emma said barely above a whispered. Regina pulled Emma into a hug.

"I'll be damned if I let that handless freak hurt someone I love," Regina said

"Why are you doing this?" Emma asked

"Because I care about you. I always have." Regina said

"You're just saying that to make me feel better," Emma said

"Fine, you can think that but I know what I mean," Regina said

"I deserved my punishment. I'm not worth it." Emma said

"Emma…," Regina said

Killian you are soon going to be called the dickless wonder after what you did to my beloved Emma.

Ashley whimpered when Emma was putting herself down because hearing this was all too familiar she's going to have to reveal her true form to Emma soon. When Emma fell back asleep was when Ashley transformed back into human form to speak to Regina.

"She's so broken," Ashley said as she stroked Emma's hair. Emma's head was in her lap. Her wolf tendencies still being present even in her human form it's a force of habit.

"I know. My poor broken Swan." Regina said

"This is the reason why Luna let me go. When she heard my vision of what happened to Emma she told me I had to go." Ashley said

"Why would she say that?" Regina asked

"My poor wife was abused too. Her mother hated her, she made her life is a living hell. She beat her and her step-father and step-brother didn't make it easy either. Her stepbrother raped her which is how Yuki and Wolf were born. There were two counts when I saved her from Kurai, that's her step-brother." Ashley sighed

"What happened if you don't mind me asking?" Regina asked

"The first time was when I was helping her move out she told me that she had to go back to grab a pendant that her father gave her before the divorce. She didn't come back for a long while I got worried so I got out of my car to hear her scream on the roof. I had my two pet wolves with me….Beowulf and Bodolf they began growling when I walked up on them he nearly kicked her off the roof. Beowulf bit him in the leg I picked her up she was so scared she wouldn't stop repeating the same thing over and over again "just kill me". He was pissed I took her when I left he whipped my back but I didn't care blood came dripping down my back but my main concern was her. The second time was when Luna and I were on a break and she was dating my friend Emerald we call her Ember. Luna butt dialed Ember when Kurai was abusing her that was the worst of it. He had her in the torture dungeon Ember decided to break it off seeing how well I was taking every I saw, she told me that Luna's better off with me I'm protective of her. She still has nightmares from time to time and I wish I could help that." Ashley explained

"That's why you're really concerned for Emma," Regina said

"I can't help her. That is your task and your task alone. I can't help you with this." Ashley said

"Thank you. I'm glad you've given me that insight." Regina said

"You're welcome."

With that Ashley transformed back into her wolf form and never changed back to human form unless it was something really important. Emma didn't talk much after her dream of reliving that dark memory. It broke Regina's heart seeing Emma like this. The Emma Swan doesn't want to talk, doesn't want to eat, doesn't want to make really annoying comments to make Regina mad. This isn't the same woman who came to Storybrooke to break a curse. When morning came and Emma didn't eat Regina just let her stay in the room while she went to check on Henry.

"So, what's going on with ma?" Henry asked

"She's been through hell, Henry. Last night something happened she had a nightmare." Regina said

"What happened!? What did he do to her?!" Henry asked defensively he wanted to kill Hook and make sure he stays dead but he knew that he wouldn't do that he even tried to write out this death in the book but that didn't work and he knew it would be abusing his powers as The Author to write Killian dead as much as he deserves it he can't abuse that power he was given not like how Isaac did.

"Killian raped Emma….." Regina said

"Why is he still alive then!? We need to find him and kill him ourselves how could he do this to ma? He always said he do everything to protect her!" Henry asked

"Henry I want him dead just as much as you do but I don't want Emma getting any idea of that. We need to keep a level head her recovery is the first and only thing we need to focus on right now." Regina said

"After you told me you had feeling for Emma I found this in the book," Henry said

He walked over to grab the Once Upon a Time book flipping to the page he was talking about. Staring that the pictures she ran her fingers over the pages. There was a picture of her and Emma's wedding the next page had a baby on it while the next few pages documented the growth of the baby and another baby was on the last page.

"I end up having three younger sisters the book even states what you and ma are going to name them. Christine is the first child you and ma have together then there's Brook and Hazel is your youngest. See everything's been written it's just the how we get this is the next part we need to worry about." Henry said

"This is all set in stone it's all going to happen?" Regina asked

"Yes, it's been laid out in the book the event that sparks it hasn't happened yet. And I can't figure out why." Henry said

"It will take some time. Emma is still in a bad place." Regina said

"Yeah you're right. Go help ma she really needs it." Henry said

"I will," Regina said

Seeing what the book was giving her gave Regina so much hope. She and Emma were going to be a thing they were going to have three beautiful daughters together. Now she has to plot what to do with Killian if he ever decides to show his face again.
