Hii guys! Thank you again for the reviews and all! I really love them :3 enjoy this chapter!
What happened before: "Start walking" she says sternly.
"Yes, mother" I sigh and walk behind her inside the castle. I turn around to close the door and share one last glance with Emma before I close it.
"Don't get befriended with that stable girl" Mother says. "She is poor, too low for us"
"She's my first and only friend" I say. Mother gives me an irritated glare.
"You will listen to me, Regina" she says sternly. "She is a stable girl, a poor child. Just listen to me and everything will be perfect, you will be queen" and she walks away. I sigh and shake my head. I don't want to be queen… I just want to be happy.
Chapter 3.
(Emma pov.)
I walk inside my village after work, it was a nice day. After the royals left I was alone so I started riding on the horses and cleaned them all. Should Regina bed happy at the ball? I don't know… I walk inside my house and mom immediately runs towards me and hugs me. My eyes widen and I frown.
"Eh… what did I do?" I ask. She lets go of me and looks up at me while cupping my face.
"That girl you are working for" she says "She came by today"
"What?" I ask with a confused look.
"She came by and gave us your salary, she told us they couldn't give it to you because when they would come back you would be home. So she brought it us" mom says "She looks really nice, she's a pretty girl"
"Yeah she is" I smile. Regina here? In our little house? Seeing my parents? Hmmm…
"We got some bread and even some cheese, we also got some medicine for your brother" dad says who comes in.
"That's amazing" I smile. He hugs me and kisses me on my forehead.
"All because of you, Emma" He says "I am so proud that you are my daughter" I smile.
OUATOUATOUAT
The next morning.
(Regina pov.)
I'm waiting before the ports for Emma. I met her parents yesterday! They were really kind. Her mother was a beautiful woman. I see Emma walking up to me in her working clothes. I run towards her and she laughs at me.
"Good morning, princess" She smiles at me and bows while we walk further.
"I met your parents yesterday" I told her and she nods.
"They told me, they really like you" She says with a nod and smiles. I blush.
"You live very cosy" I say. She loves in a little house, it can be cleaner but it looks nice…
"You don't like it" Emma chuckles. "Don't worry, unfortunately we can't clean more then we do" I smile and nod.
"Sorry" I say while we walk into the stables.
"It's okay, princess" She tells me with a smile and she gives the horses some food.
"How is your brother?" I ask.
"I guess he is okay, he is sleeping a lot" Emma says and I sit down on the chair. "How was ball?"
"Amazing, but mother kept introducing me for heirs" I say "They are all arrogant and selfish"
"You even want a dude?" Emma asks with her back at me.
"What do you mean?" I ask with a frown. She turns to me and leans against a stable. The stable of Rocinante, he immediately put his head on her shoulder.
"You know, a girl" she says "A woman, a girl? You are one yourself"
"My mother would kill me" I say. "And I've never thought of that"
"For once, Regina" Emma says "Don't think about your mother. Think about what you want. What do you want? A dude or a girl?" I shrug.
"I've never been with both, so I don't know" I say "What about you?" Emma shrugs.
"I don't like dudes" Emma says. "But, I've never been with a girl. Maybe I will end up alone, I don't know"
"I don't think you will end up alone" I say "You are too pretty to stay alone your whole life" Did I just say that? Or goodness… I start blushing and Emma smirks.
"Thanks princess" Emma says "You are pretty too, I bet you will find your true love"
"True love, do you believe in that?" I ask her.
"I think I do, my mother says true love is the purest magic ever" Emma smiles "It sounds really cliché"
"I think it is, I know a bit about magic" I say "You know, my mother" Emma nods and smiles. "Hey? What about a ride together?"
"Yeah sure" Emma smiles. We get our horses ready and step up. Emma sits on Shadow. A black horse who nobody dares on to ride. But she does, and she can ride on him as the best. One time I rode on him, he was trying to get me off. Even my dad can't hold him. But Emma can even let go of the reins while putting on her cloves. Really! This girl can do everything with a horse. Shadow walks nicely next to Rocinante without doing anything bad. Emma looks up at me and smiles. "You're staring, princess" she says.
"Nobody can ride on Shadow" I tell her.
"Oh really? But he is such a kind and nice horse" She says "Aren't you?" Emma asks the horse and it looks like he nods. I laugh and shake my head. "So, where are you going your highness?" I blush.
"We could go through the forest?" I ask and Emma nods, so we start to ride towards the forest.
OUATOUATOUAT
We are taking a break in the forest. It is a hot day and we rode for two hours through the forest. Emma bound the horses to a tree and she sat down on the ground. In the dirt… ew… Emma looks up at me.
"Sit down, princess" she says.
"Ew, no" I say and she laughs.
"Are you scared for a little dirt?" she dares me. With that I sit down next to her and she chuckles. "There she is" Emma smiles at me. I roll my eyes and smile back. "Have you ever seen a unicorn before?"
"A unicorn?" I laugh.
"What? They exist!" Emma claims "My parents once saw one when mother was pregnant of me. They say they gave them the first glance of their unborn child. Me. My parents dealt with a lot of magic in the past."
"What di…" "SHHH LOOK" Emma shushes me and points before us. Before us we see a blue wisp. It is whirling before us, like telling us something"
"What is that?" I ask.
"A wisp, they say it brings you to your fate" Emma whispers while staring at the blue wisp with big green eyes.
"Yeah right, another story Emma?" I ask with a chuckle.
"It's true" Emma says and stands up. "Come on, I need to know my fate"
"Emma it could be a trick" I say. Emma jumps on Shadow's back and looks at me.
"I don't care, I need to know" Emma says "What do you say princess? Do you join me on this adventure, or do you chicken out and stay here?" I sigh and step on Rocinante. "That's what I thought" she smiles. "Come on, follow me!" And she lets Shadow run after the wisp. It brings us before a castle. It is a really big one, bigger than mine. I look at Emma who steps of the black horse and bounds him to a tree.
"Wait, what are you gonna do?" I ask.
"The wisp brought us here, there has to be something here" Emma says "I'm going inside"
"Are you crazy?!" I squeal out. "Maybe this is the castle of a villain!" I step of Rocinante and bind him to the tree fast. I run towards Emma and stop her from opening the door. "This is not a good idea"
"Regina, I want to know what's inside" Emma says "You can even stay here, alone, with no weapons…" she smirks at me.
"Fine" I sigh "not too long" I say. She nods and pushes the doors open. She walks in nonchalantly. This hall leads to a big hall with a long wooden table. And a woman. "Emma" I whisper and point at the woman. She looks like a maid. She is reading in a chair. Emma couches and the woman looks up.
"Oh, I'm sorry" she apologizes. "Can I help you?" she asks and walks towards us. "Are you here for Rumpelstiltskin?" my eyes widen. I KNEW IT! I knew a villain lives here! I pull at Emma's arm.
"Emma, let's go" I say.
"The wisps brought me here" Emma explains "Sorry is we bother you"
"That's alright, my name is Belle" she says "I'm the maid"
"I'm Emma, and this is Regina" Emma says with a smile at Belle. I pull myself close to Emma when I feel a shiver going down my spine.
"And we have visitors" a weird voice says. I look up. Rumpelstiltskin… we have to go… this is dangerous.
"Emma…" I start.
"It's alright Regina" Emma says to me. She looks up at Rumpelstiltskin with her chin in the air. "Rumpelstiltskin?" he bows for Emma and takes her hand. He gives a kiss on her hand and she smiles at him.
"Emma" Rumpelstiltskin says. "I was waiting for you two to come" he says and also looks at me. "Look at that, just a replica of her mother" I look away and he giggles.
"You were waiting for us?" Emma asks.
"Yes, yes, yes!" he giggles. "Your parents are searching for a medicine for your little brother aren't they?"
"Yes, yes they are" Emma says "What do you know of that?"
"Oh, just that they will never find it unless they make a deal with me for it" he says.
"You have it?" Emma asks and lets go of me a bit.
"Emma… he is a villain, a bad person, don't trust him" I say but Emma walks over to Rumpelstiltskin.
"Yes I do, dearie" he giggles.
"Why do they have to make a deal with you? I can make a deal with you" Emma says.
"No! Emma enough!" I warn her. She looks back at me.
"This is about my little brother Regina, he could die without a medicine" Emma says and turns to him again. I groan. "I want to make a deal for the medicine"
"You will?" he asks and Emma nods. He giggles and nods. "Good, good, I need… a hair of yours"
"A hair?" Emma frowns "Why?"
"Because, dearie. You are the product of true love" he giggles and strokes through her blonde ponytail.
"Fine, deal" Emma says and shakes his hand. He giggles and Emma gives him a long blonde hair. Belle and I are just watching the deal. I can't stop her. She would do everything for her little brother. She would do ANYTHING. Rumpelstiltskin giggles again and walks towards some desks. He starts on something with his magic after he put Emma's hair inside a bowl. Emma turns to me. "I'm sorry princess, but I have to do this for my little brother. Whatever the cost is" I sigh and nod. "It will be alright, I'm still alive" I look away from her.
"Here it is, dearie" Rumpelstiltskin says and gives Emma a potion. "Let the boy drink this and within two weeks he is all better"
"Thanks" Emma smiles at him and nods at Belle.
"Off course" He says and gives her a kiss on her hand again. "Keep in mind, magic always comes with a price" She nods and we walk out of the castle. When the doors close I turn to Emma.
"That was really stupid and dangerous of you, what if he wanted you to kill someone? I know for sure you would've done it, you would've done everything for your little brother! You are so stubborn Emma! Magic always comes with a price and I…" she lays her finger against my lips and I stop talking. She smirks a bit.
"Shh… I'm alright" Emma says. She bows over and gives me a long kiss on my cheek. I start to blush and… Woah is it still this hot outside? She pulls away and looks in my eyes with a charming smile. "Stop worrying about me, Regina"
"N... I... You… We... he…" I stutter and Emma chuckles.
"Yes, yes, I know" she chuckles. "Now, come on princess" and she walks over to Shadow. This girl is driving me crazy…
