Hi, here it is another chapter, a little bigger than the other 2. Please remember that I don't know anything about the prison system.
As you can see, in this fic doesn't exist a curse or magic.
The italicized words are Emma's thoughts.
- *S.Q.*-
Next day Emma was awakened by a loud horn. Where the hell am I? Ah yes, in prison.
- Rise and Shine sleepyhead, you have a long day ahead of you - Red said to her with a big smile as if it was the best day of her life.
-Good morning Red - Emma said still a little stunned with the way she was awakened – Well, how it's the schedule in this place?
- Well, in fact, is very easy. At 8 am we have breakfast. Then, you go to work until 12 am . . . - She started to explain but was interrupted by Emma.
-Wait a minute, what work? - She asked with curiosity.
- Everyone here has a job. I for example work at the laundry. But don't worry, you'll quickly know what you will do! Today before the breakfast you will have a meeting with the director where he will give you your work.
-Hum . . . Ok! And in the afternoon, what do we do?
- As I was saying, at 12 pm, we ate lunch, then after that we have freedom to do what we want. You can play sports, workout in the improvised gym, go watch TV in the TV room or go to the library. Then, at 6 pm, we have shower time, at 7 pm, we ate dinner and after that we are put in the cell again. The lights are turned off at 9 pm.
- It is not so bad, I can work with that.
-Now let's go, I have to go eat breakfast and work, and you need to go speak with Gold.
They left the cell and begin to walk down the corridor with Red explaining to Emma whom is in each cell along the path. When they arrived at a ladder on the right-hand side Red stopped and said:
-Well, here you are. At the end of the hall, after this stairs its director Gold's office. Sorry, but I cannot go with you or wait because I have to eat and I can't be late to work or I will be punished.
-It is all right. I'll be ok! But what I have to know about Gold?
-Gold is sneaky don't let him affect you, and do whatever you do, never, but never, make a deal with him, do you understand? - She said emphasizing the word never, with a face so straight that Emma has started to have a feeling that Gold is a very dangerous person - Now go, see you later, stays out of trouble.
-Ok, good bye, I'm going to try.
Emma waits until that Red was out of site and began to climb the ladder and walk down the hall where she found a door with a name tag that reads Director Gold in bold golden writing. She knocked at the door.
- Come in - shouted someone behind the door.
The blond opened the door and sees a man with the hair by the shoulders and wearing a black suit with purple stripes, a black shirt and a purple tie sitting behind a desk where she saw a cane, leaning.
-Excuse me. Good morning, I'm Emma Swan. I'm here to see director Gold.
-Ah, yes Miss Swan, please, come in.
Emma entered the office and extended her hand to the man and he shakes her. When he touched her hand she had a really bad feeling about the man.
-Welcome to our humble institution, dear - said Gold with a predator smile, that shows his gold tooth - take a seat - she sat in the chair in front of the desk - Let me guess, you are here to know what it is your new job, am I right?
When the man begins to speak, when he called her dear and smiled that scary smile, a shiver raced down her back.
-Yes Sir, you're right.
-Let me see what we have prepared for you - the man began to look for something in a stack of papers - Ah! Here it is. – He exclaimed when he found what he was looking for - Oh, you are very lucky. You will work in the library with Regina Mills. - When Gold said the name of her new colleague, Emma saw something in his eyes that she couldn't identify and his voice lowered and became even more frightening. The hair of Emma's arms was on end - this is to your liking Miss Swan?
Emma didn't expect that question and answered a little shocked with eyes wide open.
- Yes Sir, it is. I love books.
-Good, we want everyone happy in our prison - he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. - Now go Miss Swan or you will be late for work and your colleague may not appreciate.
The blond stood up so fast that she almost knocked the chair where she was sitting
-Yes Sir, excuse me.
-Bye Miss Swan. - She was almost at the door when he spoke again - Ah, before you go, I will give you a free advice. Beware of Regina, she may be a little ... - he made a pause, as if he was thinking - ... difficult. Bye, dear, go now.
- Hum... Thank you, Sir. Bye. - Emma said she didn't know what else to say or do after that advice. Oh God, what a strange and creepy man. And what I'm going to do with Regina if even the director of the prison warned me about her? I'm screwed.
She left the office without another word and starts walking fast trying to put as much distance as possible between her and the director. At the end of the stairs Emma stopped and looked to both sides of the hall, confused. Where the hell is the dining room? Red forgets to tell me. I need to find a guard.
Emma began to walk to the right to find a guard not looking where she was going, when she banged against a blond with curly hair and a very scary face.
-Hey bitch, look where you're going! - Cried the woman.
Emma begins to become irritated with the woman, because of her calling her bitch. I know that I knocked into her, but whom she thinks that she is to call me names?
-I'm sorry, but you don't need to be so rude and call me names. - Despite her irritation, she was polite and calm.
The other blonde looked at her with murderers eyes and began to laugh very loud as if Emma had said the funniest joke that she had ever heard.
-Who do you think you are? I call you what I want… - the other said looking her in the eyes, pocking her chest - ... bitch.
Emma was now seeing red and slapped the other woman's hand away from her.
-Stop with this - she shouted.
-Or what? You'll beat me? - The other asked and began to laugh again. –She is really funny don't you think girls? - She asked the other 3 women behind her.
Emma hadn't seen the other 3 women. Ok, now I'm dead, they are 3 and I am only one. But I will not give up without a fight.
The 4 women began to round her and shove her one to each other; the blond gave her a punch in the stomach making her fall. I'll die on my first day in prison. Red warned me to stay away from problems. Where she is when I need her?
Suddenly, she hears a scream and the shoving stopped.
-LEAVE HER ALONE - someone that she couldn't see cried out.
-But my queen she hit me. - The blonde stuttered.
-I don't care what she had done, I said leave her alone, Maleficent. - Said a woman. A beautiful woman, with dark hair at shoulder, deep brown eyes and red lips with a small scar that make her even more stunning. Emma, was speechless, her Savior is one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen.
-Yes, my queen. I'm Sorry - the 4 women left with their tails between their legs.
Emma began to rise from the ground, with one arm in her stomach because of the pain. She looked the woman in the eyes, and stretched out her hand that hasn't in her stomach.
-Thank you very much for your help, I'm Emma Swan. If it weren't for you I would be dead.
The brunette looked at her as if it she was a bug and ignored her hand.
-You should go to the infirmary for them to check your stomach. - The woman said with disdain in his voice. What a deep and beautiful voice.
The blond collected her hand, embarrassed, blushing as a little girl. Do not be stupid Emma, you are not a child, it is only a woman, and she is very rude.
-I can't I need to go to the library to meet my new work colleague. The director said that she is very difficult.
-He said that, huh? Don't worry I know her; I will talk with her. - The woman said with a dangerous gleam in her eyes when Emma spoke about the director.
-Ok, thank you once more. - Emma said and looked down really shy. - Can I know your name? - When the other woman did not answered she looks up and realized that the other woman had already disappeared.
What a strange woman. It seems to me that in this prison no one is normal. Emma shakes her head and began to look for a guard to guide her to the infirmary.
Here is our queen, it seems that she is very powerful within the prison, and Emma will work with her.
