Ch4
"Hello, princess"
Emma turned quickly to where the sultry voice came from, almost snapping her head in the process.
There staring like a predator stalking it's prey were a set of chocolate orbs nearly glistening with the poor light the torch gave. Those orbs and voice were familiar and Emma didn't felt fear, so she straightened up, lifted her chin and jumped of the window sill.
A dark chuckle arouse from the shadows as the tiny princess strut forward and halted in front of the bars placing her hands on her undefined hip.
"My, my, you are quite brave aren't you? Little princess" said the voice taunting Emma. The girl huffed.
"That I am, and who might you be?"
"Why you don't remember?"
Emma shook her head.
"Well..." The voice paused in thought before it continued.
"I'm The Wicked Witch!"
"No you are not! She's in Oz! That's what the books say!" Emma exclaimed playfully, with the naiveness that a child always has.
The voice chuckled again
"Smart girl, I'm the Evil witch?"
"Are you asking me or telling me?" Asked Emma narrowing her eyes at the orbs.
This time the voice laughed making butterflies flutter in Emma's belly and a grin flourish on her face.
"Telling you princess, I'm the evil witch!"
Emma giggled and said.
"Well evil witch come out of the shadows! You know how I look is only fair for me to know how you look!"
The witch chuckled and Emma heard footsteps approaching. A beautiful brunette appear from the shadows and sat on the ground beside the magic fueled bars.
"You're beautiful!" Emma blurted out not really thinking it over. Her tiny cheeks tainted pink as the witch laughed in the response.
"Well aren't you the charmer? You are beautiful too young princess"
The witch's chocolate orbs widen for a split second before returning to their size. It made Emma think that the witch hadn't thought that over too. It also made Emma blush deepen.
"Thank you" she said shyly. Emma stared at the witch's face. Memorizing and bathing in every detail.
"Hasn't your mother told you, staring is of bad manners"
Emma snapped from staring and hung her head in shame and shy. She muttered a low apology.
"Sorry"
"There's no need to hung your head"
Emma looked up to her and smiled.
The witch was nice to her it made Emma wonder.
"Why are you evil?"
"Well I am a prisoner aren't i?"
Emma frowned in thought.
"May I ask you a question tiny princess?"
"I'm not tiny! I'm almost 7!" Said Emma firmly lifting her Chin.
The witch chuckled.
"How foolish of me, forgive me, oh big princess, may I ask you a question?"
"You may.."
"How did you get up here?"
"I climbed" Emma said like if it was the easiest thing and most obvious thing. The witch blinked a few times her gaze drifting away in thought before repeating.
"You climbed?"
"Yup" exclaimed the blonde.
"May I ask you a question now?"
"Of course princess"
"What's your name?"
"Why! It's the evil witch!" Said The witch leaning forward, smirking wickedly.
Emma burst into a fit of giggles.
"No silly! Your real name!"
The witch stayed in thought. After a pregnant pause she said.
"My name is Regina"
The princess smiled.
"Hi Regina! I'm Emma!" She said cheerfully waving her small hand.
Regina smiled at the girl.
"Hi Emma"
Emma grin widely. She liked how the brunette said her name. She saw a great friendship potential in the witch.
Someone who needs a second chance she thought happily. She was going to help Regina.
"May I ask you another question?" Said the girl cautiously. The witch smiled and said.
"My, aren't we full of questions?"
Emma laughed and nodded.
"May I?"
"You May Emma"
"Can we be friends?"
Regina's face went serious and Emma started to get nervous.
But then Regina smiled and said.
"It would be an honor, princess"
With a yawn Emma realized it was late.
" I need to leave, bye Regina" said jumping to the window sill.
Regina stood in a flash.
"Emma" she called as the child was disappearing from beneath the sill.
"Be careful"
Emma smiled and disappeared leaving Regina to hope she got to her room okay.
Okay?
Why do I have thesefeelingsover this child.
Why did I accept to be her friend?
I'm i really that lonely?
Snow WhiteandPrincePrance-a-lotCharming'sChild!
What'swrongwith you Regina!
You even told her your name! Now the princess is going to tell her mother and the brat will order her be heading!
All these thoughts rumbled through Regina's mind. But deep down, in her darkened heart, she didn't seem to care about the princess meeting.
Worst!
she hoped for another!
Plopping down in her cot Regina sighed.
She was desperate.
-PPPPAAAAGE BREAK!-
The prisoner hoped and waited for the princess to return. Days passed.
Weeks. Months.
On the third night after month 3, Regina heard noises by the window and she hurried to the bars.
Green eyes appeared and the princess jumped down to the area just like before.
"Regina!" She exclaimed happily running to the bars.
"Oh Emma!" Said the witch smiling, lowering to the princess level. A genuine smile.
"Regina! Oh I have so much to tell you! I've missed you" said the princess shyly.
Regina surprised both by saying.
"I missed you too, princess"
She meant it, she really meant itRegina thought.
"I'm sorry I couldn't come before, my parents have been tough on me" said the princess drawing invisible lines on the floor boards.
Regina narrowed her eyes.
"The Queen, tough?"
"I don't want to talk about it" said the princess sadly looking at Regina.
The pained look on the princess face made Regina's chest constrict. She wanted to hold the princess close and see the girl smile that beautiful smile of hers once heart ached for the first time after Daniel's death. Anger flared, those idiots she thought intently, her magic fueled by her anger, flowing like waves. The bars crackled with dark purple sparks as her magic hit them.
"Regina?"
Said a small trembling voice snapping the witch. Emma had scurried away from the sparking bars and was staring a Regina in horror.
"No,No,No, Emma, it's okay... I'm sorry princess, please don't be scared"
Said the witch, her voice desperate and full of concern. The bars stopped as the magic ceased and Emma sensing the change crawled forward, sitting back in front of the bars.
Regina smiled fondly at the girl.
The girl smiled back. Emma's eyes widen and the girls smile grew.
Regina's breathe hitched.
What was wrong with her?!
"Oh Regina! Today was the best day! My parents spent all day with me! And my godmother Red came too! We horse ride and ate cake! And made preparations since 'The Great Fire' is coming! And I got to spend time with you and I'm 7 now!"
Regina who had been smiling to the princess ramble got confused.
"Wait Emma... Was today? Was today your birth day?" She asked worried.
The girl smiled and nodded. Regina sucked a breathe, it was Emma's birthday and because of her deed that now held her prisoner she had nothing to give the princess. Her anger flared stronger than ever but she controlled it not wanting to scared her princess again. She wanted to give everything that the princess wanted.
"Regina? Why are you sad? I wanted to share this special day with you" Said the princess frowning surprising the witch.
"Emma I'm sad because, I can't give you anything, I'm imprisoned" Regina said sadly looking at the blonde for reactions.
"But your presence is enough, Gina" the girl smiling.
For the first time in a long time Regina's heart swelled with love and tears gathered in her eyes.
"Oh happy birth day Emma!" Said Regina extending her arms through the bars. Emma run to the witch's weird embrace.
They held each other of a second before there was a loud explosion of magic and everything went white.
