A/N: ive decided to make this story G!P, there are going to be triggers within this story so heads up on that one. I don't know if anyone is reading this story so I'm not sure if I'm going to continue it or not, if you wish for me to do so then please let me know, if not then ill be deleting it.
in this chapter we see part of Emma's story too, an mistakes are my own (I'm writing this after being awake for 21 hours so apologise if any mistakes)
It has been two weeks since that day in the hospital and Henry hadn't stopped going on about how he met a real life policeman, with his lady prisoner and her brother who apparently is a pirate in the young boys eye. Everyday he would mention one of them which at first wasn't so bad but now two weeks later it had started to grate on Regina, so when she had a visit that morning from the police officer Henry was obsessed with you could understand her shock at it all. They had barely finished breakfast when the door bell rang, Regina looked at the clock and it was barely 8:30am, stepping away from the table she asked Henry to finish his cereal whilest she answered the door.
"Good morning Miss Mills, im sorry to bother you so early but I have a message for you" The officer seemed nervous as he danced on the balls of his feet clutching an envelope in his hands, Regina wrapped her dressing gown tighter around herself and looked down her pathway to see a dark BMW with blacked out windows parked waiting for the officer, one of the windows had been lowered slightly obviously giving whoever was inside the car a chance to listen in.
"And what is your message?" she asked looking back at the officer, nodding his head he held out the envelope with a very shaky hand waiting for Regina to take it off him and read it. Taking it from his hand she looked at the car again before opening it up and reading the note inside,
' Dear Miss Mills, after meeting you at the hospital and learning of your identity I did some research on you and it turns out you are of the same Mills family that helped my family for many years, Your father helped to try and save my parents life and your mother was a fantastic lawyer to our family, I was deeply sorry to hear about their accident which as you may or may not be aware of was avenged for by my sister herself, she was very fond of your father…..he taught her a lot. It is because of this connection between our families that I am requesting your help, as you know from our meeting at the hospital the rumours of my health are true and my life could end any day now which would not only leave everything in my families name to my sister but it would also make her alone and vulnerable. I know that before you became the mayor of your little town you were a lawyer like your mother, im hoping you could use that to help Emma out. You and your son will be taken care of and have the families protection no matter what your decision. Killian Jones'
Regina read the note and looked between the officer and the car before folding the note up and placing it in her dressing gown pocket, she remembered her mother being involved with the Noland family it was the power my mother always wanted but she didn't find out until her parents had been killed that her father was also their doctor on the side and that he had been the one to save Killians life after he lost his hand in a gang attack when he was younger, she never actually registered the fact that some of Emma Swans victims had been the ones to cause her parents death though. She fought back tears as she thought about her parents and how scared they must have been being trapped inside their car as it sank into the frozen lake, shivering at the thought she was brought out of thoughts by the tugging of her leg by her son
"it's the policeman mummy" he tried to whisper although he wasn't very good at it as he could still be heard by the two adults, she laughed slightly and picked him up and held him close, if it was well known that her parents were known associates and part of the extened Nolan family it wouldn't take long for others to realise who they were and where they were if they wanted to finish off the job by terminating all the Mills
"Tell him…..Tell him she wont be alone" Regina spoke so softly that the officer barely heard her reply, but he understood by looking at her eyes and seeing her hold her son closer than he has ever witnessed a mother holding their child. Nodding he turned around and headed back to the car climbing into the front seat next to the driver, the window in the back closed and the car drove off without another word, Regina couldn't figure out what would happen now or what she had even agreed too, she had nothing in common with Emma Swan apart from the fact bother their parents had known eachother and hers were killed for that very reason, which filled her heart with hatered towards the younger blonde yet she had just agreed with her brother that her she wouldn't leave Emma to be alone. And what did he mean when he said Emma avenged her parents? She needed answers from Killian but he was gone now and she wasn't sure if or when she would see him again.
Taking Henry back inside she put him in his playroom and allowed him to play whilest his favourite film 'the lion king' also played on the tv in the background, she headed across the corridor to the room opposite leaving the door open to her study so she could see what her son was doing, logging onto her computer she began to research Emma Swan to try and find out if there was anything she didnt already know , as she read different articles most saying the same things and other seemed to be reaching just a bit too much on what the truth really was Regina started to get fed up. The film had ended about twenty minutes ago with Henry running in and asking for something else on, he wanted to watch Paw Patrol which Regina agreed to just because she loved listening to him running around shouting 'Chase is on the case' with so much excitement in his voice. As she sat back down at her desk she noticed she had an email off an address she hadn't recognised, opening it up there were files attached to it aswel as a message off Killian letting her know that he was grateful and that he was in the processes of arranging everything that needed to be done before it was too late, he had sent her copies of all of Emma's court documents aswel as everything the police have on her and even a file that had her fathers name in the subject line, opening it up Regina saw that her father had many meeting with Emma when she was in her early teens dealing with her mentality at such a young age, the photos that Regina was now looking at where completely different to the woman she had met, there were no tattoos and she was a small scrawny thing that looked like she hadn't eaten in weeks, her eyes were also empty compared to how she looked at her brother with such love and respected and the scars and wounds that covered her body made Regina feel uneasy, what had happened to Emma… Closing her computer down she headed into the play room to see Henry had settled on his small sofa was having a nap, smiling she walked over and sat on the floor next to him and watched him sleep still amazed that this tiny human being belong to her.
Miles away in a small cell Emma Swan sat on her bed reading the latest rumours about herself, she couldn't help but laugh when reading about how scary people found her as she seemed to be emotionless, people branded her a psychopath and all thought that they had they right to have an opinion of her because of what they had heard but no-one was even close to knowing the real her, to most people she went on a rampage and after killing four people from the rival gang she got a lust for killing and couldn't stop resulting in the death of eight more people seven years later, most people say she shouldn't of even be allowed out of jail to appear at the Mills funeral as they weren't her family which would have prevented any more deaths but the truth is Emma would have found a way, when she had found out that the Mills had also been involved in an accident she knew that she would avenge them also, she didn't have real parents so when two more people who had shown her what family meant had been killed it was too much for the now 25 year old to see their daughter crying into her lovers arms reminding her of herself and her brother, once she has found out what really happened and that it was no accident she made sure to find out who had done it and easily slipped past her security detail to go and make them pay, after she had killed them all she walked back to the police station and handed herself in telling them she had gone to pay her respects to her parents as she hadn't been able too in 7 years. She had agreed with the DA that she would give them information on people they had been trying to catch for years on the agreement they dropped everything against her brother which was just small drug charges and a DUI and a slightly reduced sentence which they had agreed to 12 years total and then another 5 years with an ankle monitor on the outside aswel as being told she had to stay out of Boston for those 5 years also, after handing herself into the police station they added an extra 3 months onto her sentence resulting in her now having to serve 2 years and 1 month left in this place.
Many thought that sentence was too light and there was even a mass protest demanding longer but the deal was made and the judge agreed as all he saw in front of him was an 18 year old girl who had just lost her parents and mixed with the drugs/alcohol she had been on leading up to the killings he thought she couldn't be held completely accountable….how wrong Judge Hopper was made Emma chuckle every time she thought about it, there was some truth in the whispers about her being mentally unhinged, cold hearted and psychopath but she had stayed on her meds the doctor had given her and most of the time they worked….the word being most as today she was once again taken to solitary confinement due to a fight that broke out in food hall, the problem with prison is too many people want to be 'top dog' so they pick a target to show how tough they are and they always choose Emma Swan 'the killer who cant be tamed' as many had said after no-one had managed to best her in a fight and this newbie was no different. So here she was sitting on her bed reading an article that had been snuck into her with her food by Tink, her closest friend in this place. They had become close three years ago when Tink arrived here after being found guilty of smuggling drugs hence her nickname Tink….she called her drugs pixie dust an the young kids loved it, on Tinks second day they had been outside in the yard and the 'Top Dog' Maleficent decided she wanted a new toy to play with but she didn't count on Emma being there to help the newbie out, the two blondes had a silent agreement before that day to stay out of eachothers way but when an 18 year old got started on for no reason Emma couldn't sit back and watch and the result wasn't pretty for Mal and her crew…..as prison rules go that also resulted in Emma being seen as 'top dog' after she beat the entire crew and word soon spread and everyone was suddenly weary of Emma all over again, with newbies starting to latch onto her if they didn't fit in anywhere else.
"Swan you've got a phone call, stand with your hands against the wall so I can come in" Emma looked from the article confused she hid it under her blanket and did as she was told so the guard could come in, she was sure this was some sort of set up though as you don't get phone calls when your in solitary, you don't get any luxuries at all. She was lucky to even be allowed her food after kicking off in the food hall. Being cuffed and lead to a side office that belong to the prison councillor she was sat down in the chair and had her cuffs removed and placed into the railing attached the table to stop her from running.
"Hel….hello?" she asnswered the phone trying to keep her voice strong but the bad feeling in the pit of her stomach wouldn't budge and now being in the office she knows that she isn't being set up being allowed a phone call wasn't good
"Hello Miss Swan, my name is Sydney Glass im an associate of your brothers, im sorry to inform you but your brother Mr Killian Jones passed away not too long ago. He wished for me to be the one to inform you and to tell you that he has arranged everything so you don't have to worry about any of it, he asked that I tell you to not do anything to risk your sentence. You don't have long left and you will be out and free finally, he understands that you wont be allowed back in Boston so he has left the family business in the hands of a trustworthy friend which you both know…a Mr August Booth I believe his name is….." Emma couldn't believe he was still talking to her when she wasn't paying attention since he said Killian had died
"Killian is dead?" she asked hoping to god he was wrong, she had heard him wrong he seemed to be doing ok two weeks ago at the hospital. He cant be dead he was all she had left, he was her only family she cant be alone…her biggest fear is being alone. She felt sick, she could feel herself getting worried and feeling trapped, the anger inside of her burned as it grew more wild with every word he spoke
"Yes Miss Swan im afraid he did, it was peacefully. He didn't want you to have to see it after what happened with your parents which is why no-one had spoken to you until now. As I said he has arranged everything, Mr Booth will be running the business until you can go back to Boston yourself and do it but you will have a say in matters. Killian has bought you a place in a small town called Storybrooke where you will be safe and no-one will hurt you.." Glass continued although he wasn't even sure if Emma was even listening anymore but he was told he had to tell her even though he couldn't stand her, he himself was in storybroo and had known about the deal Killian had made with Regina Mills
"Storybrooke…the place he was in hospital?...why is that place so important to him?" she asked, this was all too much right now, Killian was dead and someone she didn't even know was telling her how she was going to live once she was out of prison
"It was Killians wish for you to be here Miss Swan, I am just relaying information that I have for you, I will give you a call in a few days to let you know the funeral arrangements, until then Miss Swan im sorry for your loss" with that Sydney hung up the phone leaving Emma just staring into space in complete shock, the officers must have sensed something was wrong as they slowly made their way back in to take her back to her cell….Emma had never been so happy to be in solitary, the last thing she wanted was to deal with people right now. Allowing herself to be taken back to her cell without fuss, she sat on her bed and waited….what she was waiting for she didn't know but she needed to wait because something good needed to happen in her life surely.
