Hi! I am so sorry for the lack of updates. I moved about three months ago and just recently got wifi. Let's hope this is a good chapter. Thank you for the awesome reviews.

Emma sits at the edge of the tub, staring blankly into space. Regina watches her silently as she cleans the blood that got on Emma. She wanted to ask what happened but also knew it was best to not push. She finishes up and hangs the cloth up so it will dry off.

"You should lay down for a bit Em."

The blonde's emerald eyes land on Regina's brown ones. There's a distant look in them. Emma only nods and lets Regina lead her to the brunette's room and to her bed. They reach the bed and the brunette helps her into bed. Sitting beside her she runs her hand through blonde tresses.

Meanwhile in the living room Belle couldn't believe what was happening. She couldn't believe that Rumple was gone. She covers her face and lets out a choked up sob. Her shoulders shake as she tries to cry silently. All this was supposed to be was a nice little goodbye before graduating and getting the hell out of that hell hole they call home.

Instead she's sitting on the loveseat at the cabin terrified. Her boyfriend was killed; one of her friends is borderline dead while one of them is actually dead. She will be lucky and forever thankful if she makes it out alive. She looks up when she hears someone enter the room and sees Regina heading to the opposite set. A tan hand runs through thick, almost black hair.

"We're going to die out here aren't we?" asks Belle in a choked whisper.

"No. We are not" says Regina with conviction.

She will not die in this damn cabin. She had plans and dying in this cabin at eighteen was not one of them. She rubs her face and lets out a deep breath.

"We are going to make it" she whispers.

She doesn't know who she's trying to convince, herself or Belle. Ruby stirs and whimpers in pain. Both Regina and Belle are by her side in no time. Ruby was lucky to be alive. The son of a bitch made sure Ruby felt the pain during her torture and afterwards as well. Light brown eyes flutter open and frantically look around the room, trying to get her bearings.

"Shh Ruby it's us. It's okay calm down" Regina rubs her arm.

Ruby's eyes water as she feels pain and terror. She grips Regina's hand tightly; her breathing labored and the tears fall freely.

"Ruby we need you to calm down please. I know you're in pain but please." Regina looks at Belle. "In my bag I got painkillers could you go get them?"

Belle nods and stands quickly. She makes her way to Regina's room; entering said room she noticed the bed was empty. She walks deeper into the room and to the bag at the corner of said bedroom. She opens it and starts to rummage through it to find the painkillers for Ruby to take. She finds them and sighs, taking a second to breathe before she turns and gets startle.

"Oh Jesus! Emma you scared me" she places a hand on her chest.

Emma stares at her and tilts her head. She didn't speak which started to freak Belle out.

"Right uhm nice chat" she mumbles and starts to slowly move around her.

Emma followed her ever step with her eyes. There was such intensity in the act, a suspense that made the hairs on the back of Belle's neck stand up. Once she makes her way around her she turns quickly and starts to speed walk to the bedroom door. She was just about to reach it when it shut close on her face.

The brunette froze and her body trembled in fear. She turns slowly to look at Emma once again. She's still on the same spot, looking at Belle. The light flicker and then shuts off leaving the room completely dark. Belle whimpers and starts to cry silently.

"Please don't kill" she whispers.

Silence.

"Emma?"

"Emma isn't here" it's right next to her ear.

Before Belle can even react her neck was snapped. Her body falls on the floor with a loud thump. Regina snaps her head to look at the hall and frowns. What was that? Why is Belle taking so long? She's freaking out. What if the murderer got in? Oh god no. She stands quickly and looks at Ruby before she runs to the kitchen and grabs a knife. She runs back to Ruby.

"I'm going to look for Belle okay? I'll be right back."

Ruby shakes her head desperately as she tried to speak.

"Sh its okay I'll be back in the blink of an eye."

She speaks as she walks backwards. She turns and her heart leaps out of her chest when suddenly Emma is there.

"Jesus fuck Emma! You can't just sneak up on me like that" she sighs.

Emma tilts her head and takes her hand out from behind her. She shakes the bottle of painkillers.

"I hear you need these."

"Yeah thanks" replies the brunette.

Regina reaches for them and stops. She looks behind Emma and sees no sigh of Belle. She steps back and looks at the blonde.

"Emma where is Belle?" she asks softly.

"She's lying down."

There's a silence in which Ruby's desperate breathing can be heard. Regina steps backwards.

"Huh…Okay uhm… w-would you get some water for Ruby please?"

She grabs the bottle of painkillers from Emma walks to the brunette lying on the couch. Emma stands there for a moments before she turns and walks towards the kitchen. Regina watched her go and once inside the kitchen she looks at Ruby quickly. She's so afraid to ask, afraid of the answer.

"Ruby… Ruby focus" she whispers.

Ruby looks at Regina with the terror still evident in her eyes.

"Was Emma the one who did this to you?" she chokes out in a whisper.

Ruby's hand shoots out to grip Regina's once again. There was a pause, moment of suspense. Then she's noding desperately at the question.

"y-yyesss"
