Chapter 7 - True Loves kiss can break any curse
Regina runs inside the house, trying to escape the pouring rain. When she closes the door and walks up into the kitchen, Rosalie comes out of Regina's study.
"Mom! You look like you've seen a ghost." Rosalie walks towards her mother, who is staring right at her but it's not like she is really there. She tries to get inside her mother's head, without luck at first, because her mother had started to try to close her brain. But after a minute she can finally get out some of what Regina is thinking.
"That's not possible.." Rosalie stares at her mother when she realise that Regina actually have seen a ghost. She takes her mom into her arms to comfort her.
They don't speak a word that night. Both of them being very confused.
The next morning Regina leaves the house telling her daughter that she have some things to do. But Rosalie is smarter than that, she knows it has something to do with what Regina saw last night. So she follows her, she jumps into her own car and drives after her mother, keeping the distance.
Her mother drives into the graveyard, and gets out of the car and walks towards the her family mausoleum. Rosalie parks her car behind a bush so her mother won't she it. Then she get out of the car walking after her mother. After a minute her mother shows up running to her car, looking scared. Rosalie hides behind a tree.
Rosalie see her mother drive off. She walks into the mausoleum and starts to put her grandfathers grave a side, so she can walk down the hidden stairs under it.
When she gets down to her mothers vault she walks through the rooms until she gets to the room where she know her mother keeps her father's body. She haven't been aloud in there, but know the door is open so she looks inside. She can she that her fathers body isn't inside. What on earth can that mean? She thinks. Is he really alive?
Rosalie had been driving around town looking for her mother when she heard some people talking about that had been attacked. So she rushed to the hospital. While there she asks if they have seen her mother and a nurse told here she heard Regina and David talk about the stables.
Rosalie run to her car jumps in and drives off. Please God, please let me get there in time.
The same time at the stables.
Henry had been brushing his horse when a man shoved up. The man had almost strangle him until Regina and David had arrived and Regina had shout.
"Daniel! let him go!" Daniel looks at Regina and than he lets the boy go.
David helps Henry up from the floor and drag him out of the way.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Henry answer startled.
"Go! Go!"
Regina is staring at Daniel, can't really believe he is there.
"It's true. You're really here."
David closes the door into the box, where Daniel is, pushing Regina out of the way. And locks it, but Daniel is trying to get out by pushing the door.
"It won't hold for long. Can you cast a spell to subdue him?" David asks.
"No, I won't use magic on him." David takes out his gun.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"He's a monster Regina. If you don't put him down, I will."
"David please! Just let me talk to him."
"It's to big of a risk. There's no telling what he'll do."
"You''ll have to at least give me a chance!"
"Out of the way Regina, now!" David pushes her away.
Regina runs back and start to hit him. "No, I won't let you hurt him. He'll listen to me!" Regina screams with a cry in her voice. "Please!" Regina begs.
They stand there looking at each other, David is conflicted.
"Let me talk to my fiancé." Regina says a little more calmer in her voice.
David nods and leaves the stable.
Regina opens the door slowly. Daniel is standing by the opposite wall, when the lights comes across his face he looks up at Regina who stands in the door way. Daniel start to walk towards her. She smiles happy at him, crying. Daniel higher his hand up to her face and then he takes a jump towards her and put his hand around her neck, to strangle her.
Regina is pushed up against the wall with Daniel in front of her with his hand around her neck. She can feel how her air start to disappear.
"Daniel. Stop. It's me." Regina try to make out with almost no air left in her lungs. "I love you."
Daniel walks up like from a trance and lets go of Regina's neck and back away.
"Regina."
"Daniel." She says running into his arms. "I can't believe it's really you."
Daniel twitch in pain. "Daniel?"
"Just stop the pain."
"How?" Daniel puts his hands on her cheeks.
"Let me go."
"No. No I won't lose you again. Without you I'm lost."
Daniel breaths out in pain. "Daniel. Daniel come back to me!"
"Can't…"
"But i love you."
"Then love again." Daniel twitch in pain, backing away. His look is going back to crazy. He walks towards her again, but Regina holds up her hand hand mobilize him. She lets out a sob, tears running down her cheeks. That's when Rosalie finally have mange to find the stables and runs inside.
"MOM STOP!" Rosalie screams out as she finds her mother. Regina turns around.
"Rose, what are you doing here? Leave." Regina says through her sobs.
"No! I won't. I know a way to save him." She says smiling at her mother. Regina looks at her in disbelieves.
"How?" She asks.
"Kiss him. True loves kiss can break any curse. Don't you believe in that anymore?" Rosalie says with a sad face. Regina looks at her daughter so sure of what she's talking about. She looks back at Daniel and then she kiss him.
A rush of air blows through the stable, breaking Daniel's curse. And it didn't just break the curse. Thanks to Regina's kiss, his heart got restored. Instead of the heart Whale had given him, his own heart came back replacing the other one. He would never turn into the monster Whale had created again. He was just Daniel, a boy who had fallen in love with a beautiful girl.
And now he was back.
