Hey thanks for all the reviews! I... uh nothing much to say. But this is goanna be an interesting chapter! SQ interaction a little and HOOK'S REACTION AND MUCH MORE!
HERE WE GO!
Zelena and Regina not so regally traipsed over the barrels that had travelled with them through the portal as they returned back to the vault.
"You could have opened the portal somewhere barrel free, sister," Zelena grumbled to which Regina glared at her.
"So we are in the future, Storybrooke?" Milah asked, her brows furrowing.
"Yes dear. Now let's not waste any more time and proceed to the next step," Regina impatiently eyed her sister. Zelena smirked before turning to Milah.
"Where's my boy? Where is Hook?" Milah queried, suspicion written all over her contorted face.
"Baelfire is currently...elsewhere... Let us go find Hook shall we?" Zelena leered.
"Swan, love, I adore how you got a pirate in you but you need to show up sober next time, aye?" Hook gently grabbed hold of Emma's waist and brought her to Grany's.
Ever since Zelena's defeat, the Charmings, Ruby, Henry, Emma and Hook had had 'Together Thursdays' whereby they'd have a family dinner together. Regina would come along to but with her disappearance...
Ever since then 'Together Thursdays' turned to 'THROW UP THURSDAYS' for Emma, who habitually drank the night before and arrive the next day with a massive hangover. Henry hadn't spoken to her at all and it hurt, it hurt so badly for Emma who couldn't construct a plan to find Regina. But she knew she wouldn't give up.
"Emma! You're still alive! OH..I mean...I made honey roasted turkey!" Snow exclaimed before scurrying into the kitchen. Emma slumped onto the seat beside Hook and Ruby opposite Henry and David and Snow.
"So Emma and Hook, how have things been?" David feigned a smile, obviously trying to change the subject. Hook smiled and placed his hand on Emma's before talking to David about his 'unconditional love for Emma...' & 'How lucky I am a man to fall in love with her and how lucky you are a dad to have such a brave, beautiful daughter'.
David resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Hook. He didn't really approve of someone like Hook to be with his daughter especially with what happened to Neal. But he knew Emma had made this choice and he did not want to oppose it.
The room permeated with the aroma of sweet honey sauce and lemon and they tucked into their dinner. Hook's and David's voice filled the room with their really boring adventurous stories while Emma and Henry stayed mum, Snow furtively glancing at them. Ruby on the other hand kicked Emma lightly and asked her what was wrong. Emma simply shrugged and shook her head.
That was when Belle unceremoniously trudged into the Diner's. The violent ring of the bell and the frantic gasps cut Hook's conversation and everyone stared at Belle.
"Belle?! Belle what's wrong?!" Ruby immediately shot up and grabbed hold of her best friend's shoulder. Belle simply burst into tears and crumbled into Ruby's embrace. Ruby hugged her tightly and rubbed her back with her hand comfortingly while shooting Snow a worried glance.
"She's...She's here!" the voice was muffled but audible to Emma's ears. Emma immediately jolted up, surprising Snow who flinched and clutched her chest.
"Re...Regina is here?!" Emma's voice croaked.
This time Henry stood too, all eyes and ears.
"No! It's..."
"Come on love, spill it,"
And that was when the tiny bell hanging on the door tinkled again gently.
And that was also when Emma's eyes widened in surprise, her heart shattering yet building up again as she spotted...
Regina...with Zelena?
Oh no
"Well since our dear friend cannot be much of a help, come outside and we'll show what she has failed to announce," Regina smirked.
"Mom?"
Regina flinched, her evil facade thrown away in that instant. She didn't dare look at him.
What have I done?
The question drilled into her head as everyone from the Diner made their way out to find out what the hell had cause Belle to cry. The family exited the Diner with a disturbed Regina and a grinning Zelena.
And there it went for Emma; from a cold fragile heart to a burning chipped one in a nanosecond. She could process it all the moment Regina entered the diner; when Regina stared into her emerald green eyes. It was like a hunter had shot his best arrow at a sleeping beast.
The emotions all came encroaching every single fibre of her body and it was confusing and terrifying and thrilling and it brought Emma Swan back to life. She felt light, she felt like she could breathe again until she realised everyone was staring and gasping at a brunette beside Regina and Zelena and the first name that came into her mind was...
"Milah?"
No
"Killian!"
NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNO
"Milah? Milah! Milah! Milah!" Hook quivered and wobbled and stumbled before heavily colliding into Milah where they fell into a lover's embrace. And then a Lover's Kiss. Milah was crying and Hook was panting and everyone else stared at Emma. Regina stared at Emma.
She felt it.
The sting caressed itself against Emma's heart before piercing into her deeper and deeper.
Hook's expression...
The way his brows had furrowed, his pale blue eyes crinkled at the sides, chapped lips parted and tugged at the ends...
The look of hurt and uncertainty and happiness flashed across his face...
She was replaced.
This...was uncomfortable in so many ways. It hurt more than it should have for Emma.
And she realised this very little drama had happened not too long ago...
Regina
Releasing a cold and shaky breath, she forced her legs to function and when they did, she stalked towards Regina and mercilessly grabbed her hand with a tight grip.
"You did this,"
Oh, the déjà vu!
Regina did not respond. She was still fighting the inner battle in her when Henry had called her. She regretted it, she made a mistake and she cannot change it. She couldn't travel back in time to undo this madness because the spell could only work once on each person. How could she have been so blinded by revenge? How could she let all her hard work slip away? Let Henry slip away...
"Why is everyone crowding around here? Has anyone seen..?"
Oh hell no, not that voice
"Rumpel?"
"."
"What on Earth is going on here? You say there is a curse that will end my boy should I not come back with you but now I highly believe you've tricked me! Where is Baelfire?! Where is my boy!?"
Silence.
"Killian where is my boy?!"
"Milah..."
"Dead," Emma murmured.
"My...My boy is dead?"
Emma couldn't take it; couldn't handle the situation anymore, it was too complicated. She wanted to run, wanted to run away from this madness she always had wanted to.
Ruby had her arms around a trembling bell. Snow and David were sympathetically gazing at her. Henry was peering at Regina. Rumpelstiltskin stood as still as a statue. Hook held Milah close. Regina was glancing at Emma. And Zelena was the only one with a wicked smile.
Everyone was too shell shocked to even realise the glowing hues of purple, white and green clouds above them. The rumbling of thunder was enough to cause everyone to look up into the skies. The clouds grew bigger and swirled and lightning strike the ground, metres away from them.
There were screams and cries but all Emma could do was stare at the looming clouds above her. The number of thunders that strike the ground increased and it hit Snow. It hit David, Ruby and Belle, Henry, Hook and they turned into ashes and it was coming closer and closer to her until...
"Get us out of here," A very frightened Regina had grabbed hold of Emma's wrist and Emma noticed Zelena had too. She knew what they meant; she knew what she had to do. There was nothing she could do about her family. She didn't want her brain to register what had happened right in front of her eyes a few seconds ago. Closing her eyes and using all of her strength left she channelled her magic and felt it surround her and in an instant she was gone from Storybrooke.
She opened her eyes to find a dishevelled Regina and Zelena panting beside her and they were on an old fashioned train, in a cabin. Then it hit her...
"Henry..."
"They're not officially dead if that is what you're wondering," Zelena said in a croaked voice as she unsteadily got to her feet from the floor.
"Then what the hell happened back there?!" Regina eyed her sister.
"The spell we casted,"
"What about it?!"
"We've disrupted the Laws of Time. We've ceased everyone from the Fairytale Land to exist. The lightning temporarily ceases their existence and now I suspect we are in another Dimension and unless we do not find a way to fix this we will be stuck here forever,"
"It's my fault..." Regina sunk into her knees.
"Damn right it is!" Emma yelled.
"Stop it you twats and be more productive!" Zelena groaned.
The windowed cabin door slid open to reveal a plum old lady with short grey hair in a pink polka dot dress with a trolley full of goodies...
"Anything off the trolley, dears?"
How is it? Did I make you cringe D: I hope you like it, any suggestions? I know that everyone is kinda dead but CAN YOU GUESS WHERE THIS 3 TWATS ARE? ;D
REVIEWS GREATLY APPRECIATED! More SQ interaction and POSSIBLE LOVE for ZELENA! Stay tuned^^
