Here's chapter 4 for you ! Please let me know what you think ! :3
When Gold arrived at the queen's house Emma had been waiting already. "Miss Swan. Nice to see you. How was the night ?"
Emma just gave a frown in returned and he followed her inside and right up to Regina's bedroom. The brunette looked at them with a grin when they entered the room.
"Hello there. Time for me to go, right ? Aww.." She added a pout and Rumple raised a brow and gave the blonde a look.
"Oh I see..you couldn't make her silent..Well. Let's do it then." He said and approached the queen with the liquid in his hand. "Alright your majesty. Please don't make it even harder and just drink that." He said in a warning voice and handed it over to her. "We don't want to keep your son away from you, do we ?" He added and Regina gave Emma one last teasing grin before drinking the potion.
She was covered in a red cloud of magic and seconds later on the bed was sitting the mayor with her eyes closed and her free hand on her temple.
"God..thank you. She made my head feel like it's exploding and I've forgotten how tight and uncomfortable those dresses were." She said before opening her eyes and giving them a glare. "So what now ? Will you just stand there and stare or would one of you be so kind and finally free my other hand ?" God, Emma even missed her snappy words and harsh tone in her voice when she thought back to the queen's mouth.
"Well, nice to see you back, Regina. I'll give you some days to rest before we're gonna have to find out who did this to you. My job is done for now." He said and Emma thanked him with a nod before he left.
"Now what, Miss Swan ? Do I have to drink coffee with you again or will you finally uncuff me ?"
Emma rolled her eyes before approaching her and freeing her other hand.
"Everything alright ?"
"Well, I've been better. I'm gonna send who ever did this to me right down to hell." She hissed before rubbing her wrist.
"Hey show me your wrist." Where the cuffs were around her wrist was now a little wound.
"I need to clean that before it gets inflamed." Emma said and Regina snorted.
"Miss Swan, I'm fine. Don't worry that's nothing." But the blonde just rolled her eyes and took her by her other wrist to pull her downstairs. "Just stop being that stubborn and let me help."
"Are you out of your mind ?"
"No. Bandages ?" She asked and let Regina go who just rolled her eyes and went to get one. She came back after a moment while Emma leaned against the kitchen counter with a wet cloth.
"You act like I broke my leg or something worse." The brunette mumbled and gave her the bandage before adding a frown.
"A 'thank you' would be appreciated.." Emma told her while she cleaned her wrist with the cloth.
"Because you cuffed me to my own bed ?"
"No, because I held you back from doing something stupid, Madam Mayor."
"Well, it's not my fault that I somehow turned back to my old self."
Emma looked up at her, fire in her eyes as she placed the cloth on the counter and narrowed her eyes.
"Listen to me. I was the one who stopped you from hurting Henry because he was right here ! I was the one who even took care of you instead of just let you die in your own house like many other people probably would have done. I took care of you even though you told me that I'd take Henry away from you ! I saved our town from your royal bitchiness. You could only for once appreciate what I did for you." They were dangerously close and Regina bit her lip to stop herself from snapping back but she knew Emma was right and so she gave in. Partly because she was really not in the mood for a fight.
"I'm sorry." Emma's expression softened because what she heard was not what she expected Regina to say and she slowly leaned back and took the bandage.
Silence until the blonde finally asked the question that was in her head the whole time.
"Was that how you showed people that they were no longer free ? You just took their dignity and self confidence away by.." she couldn't finish before Regina interrupted her.
"Yes that's how I did it, Miss Swan. But it was just one way..to seduce.." Emma felt a shiver run down her spine by her words.
"Why ? Did you like it ?" It was the low voice and the teasing grin that made Emma swallow but she tried to stay in control.
"You were trying to kill me.." She answered with a frown before finishing her wrist and crossing her arms before looking up at her. Regina raised a brow and there it was again. That grin. "I tried to kill you before. But you didn't answer my question, Miss Swan." She hissed her name in a whisper while slowly stepping closer. "Did you enjoy it ? The taste of the evil queen's lips against yours..It was dangerous..to respond the kiss. You could have lost controle.." She warned her in a whisper, her lips almost touching Emma's ear now.
The blonde didn't move for a moment and just closed her eyes.
"It was not you. I knew that. But..you know you didn't have to do it. Why did you then ? All you needed to do was to finish me with your magic. So..why did you kiss me ? Did you enjoy it ? To know that you had the power to do anything you wanted.." Emma decided to play her game and whispered back at her while leaning a bit into her.
Suddenly Emma's phone rang. Regina cleared her throat and took a few steps back before Emma picked up. "Yes ?"
"Emma. It's me."
"Ruby, everything alright ?"
"We're at Granny's. The lights went out..seems like the rest of the town is fine.."
"Alright..I'll be there in 10." She hung up and Regina gave her a questioning frown.
"Power failure at Granny's and you're coming with me cuz I think I won't let you alone after what happened not even two hours ago. And we both definitely need a drink."
They arrived a few minutes later at the diner. There were Ruby, Belle, Tinkerbell, Will Scarlet, Grumpy and Sneezy.
"Hey there." Emma greeted them and Ruby smiled when she saw her. "God finally you're here. Nothing works here and Grumpy you know..gets even more grumpy when he doesn't get his food." She rolled her eyes and looked over at him.
"Sorry sister but we have work to do." He said after seeing her look on him before he and Sneezy left.
"Hmm.." Emma frowned. "Let's see..Where's the power box ?"
Ruby shook her head "We already checked on it and Grumpy said it was okay so..it has to be something else.."
Suddenly there was a loud thunderclap outside and the rain followed right after it. Like a few minutes ago it was nothing and now it rained like hell.
Wind blew outside as if a strong storm was coming. And that it did. After a few minutes it was dark outside like late at night.
Everyone just stared outside and watched the storm always get closer and louder.
"Great." Regina was the first one who broke the silence.
"Well..let's make the best of it. Drinks ?" Ruby smiled and no one had a better idea at the moment.
"Where's Granny actually ?" Emma asked after a while.
"She went to the grocery store but I guess she'll be there for a bit longer.." Ruby answered before taking another sip of her drink.
Time passed and everyone had their second or third drink already while they all sat together at a table when suddenly Ruby took a bottle and spinned it on the table.
"Truth or dare, Belle ?"
"Seriously, Miss Lucas ?" Regina frowned at her. If she hadn't had a few drinks already she would have stared a hole inside her.
"What ? Do you have a better idea ? That's funny." Ruby then smiled at Belle waiting for an answer.
"Truth." She said and Ruby thought for a moment.
"Alright..uhmm..Have you ever been with a woman ?"
Regina rolled her eyes. Oh god...she thought but suddenly she felt a bit hot with the blonde woman beside her.
"No..and I think I probaby won't." She answered with a smile. Yes, after all she was very happy with Rumple.
"Okay Belle. Your turn."
Belle spinned the bottle and of course it had to be no one else than Regina.
"Regina. Truth or dare ?" Belle asked and the mayor frowned after taking a sip of her drink.
"Who said I was playing ?"
"Regina, come on. Please, that's gonna be funny. What do you have to lose ?" Ruby asked with a grin.
Regina raised a brow and with a roll of her eyes she gave in.
"Fine..Truth." She finally said.
"Okay..are you in love ?"
The mayor gave her a frown but suddenly the question kind of made her feel a bit weird.
"Not that I knew." She simply said before raising a brow at Belle who gave her a smile and then Regina spinned the bottle.
"Well, well, that's great, isn't it ? You take dare and bring me another drink, thank you." She said to Will who just got up and did as she said because he wasn't really hoping to be asked one of those questions.
When he came back with her drink he handed it over to her and spinned the bottle. "Well Ruby again ! Right..I've got something cool for ya. Until the bottle chooses you again you have to add to every sentence you say 'in your bed'."
Ruby frowned. "Alright, my turn, in your bed." After spinning the bottle there was a huge grin on her lips. "Emma..."
"I'll take dare." The blonde answered.
"Alright wait, let me think..in your bed." She said and Will smirked at her words.
"Kiss Regina...in your bed."
Emma stared at her by hearing what she wanted her to do before she felt herself blush.
"What, Seriously ?" She heard Regina say.
"Are you a bit of a coward, in your bed ?" Ruby asked the mayor with a grin.
Shit..Emma thought
tbc ;3
