Snow and David both looked terrified, their little Emma was gone. Snow looked to her husband with fear and tears in her eyes.
" David our little baby she is gone, Who could be so cruel as to take a baby from their crib their home. Snow had tears running straight down her face.
"I can think of two people who be so evil to do this" David replied. And it is true, there are only two people in the Enchanted Forest could could come up with such a devious plan as to steal a baby.
Snow looked up at David with realization, and her face went pale there were only two people she can think of who would be so evil as to do such a thing.
" Regina" Snow whispered.
" Yes Snow Regina or the Dark one" David replied.
And just like that a second later The Dark one appears in a puff of smoke, with his glittery skin and smug grin.
" Did I hear someone call my Name?" the Dark one replied.
David snarled at the Dark one and spoke with venom in his voice and drew his sword.
" Did you do it Rumpelstiltskin?" David spat.
" Do what dearie, I don't know what you are speaking of" Rumple giggled.
" Did you or did you not take our daughter you imp?!" David yelled.
" Ah yes the young princess Emma, to answer you question no I did not take your your precious daughter that was the evil queen dearie. Although I could possibly help you get the young princess back, but that will come at a price" the Dark one replied.
David growled and gave the Dark one mean look that spoke get the hell away from us.
" We don't need you Help you twisted monster" David spat at the Dark one.
" Suit yourself dearie if you change your mind you know what to do" Rumple grinned. And just like he came he was gone in the puff of smoke.
Both Snow and David stood there afraid to speak, if Regina had Emma then this was sure going to be a tricky rescue. The dark kingdom had well trained guards more trained then their group of guards. Not only that but Regina had magic barriers put up around the castle so that the people she did not want to get to the kingdom's corridors would be flown back a couple thousand feet. Yes getting their baby girl back was going to be real tricky.
" Charming what are we going to do? how are we gonna get Emma back? Snow looked up at David with more tears spilling from her eyes. David himself could barely keep it together he was afraid for his little princess, being held captive by the Evil Queen spoke death trap in it's own. But no matter the challenge he was going to get his little girl back, he will take down every guard that walks in the dark kingdom endure every magic barrier just to get his daughter back safe and sound.
" Look at me Snow" Snow looked up at her husband and in his green eyes fear written all over her face. I will do everything in my power to brig our daughter back, I will make sure that the evil queen pays for taking her I will not fail you my loving wife I will not fail our daughter either not again" Snow looked at David confuse what did he mean about failing me and Emma again.
" Charming, what do you mean you will not fail me or Emma again? Snow asked confusion in her voice.
David looked down sadly and met his wife's gaze. " I promise her that I would protect her from any harm and promise you I'd protect you both with my life. Now Emma has be kidnapped by the evil queen just to set a goal, a plot of revenge against us. What kind of husband and father does that? what kind father makes a promise to his child to protect from any harm and fails to do so? David finishes with tears of his own in his eyes.
Snow felt sympathy for her Husband, she looked to him and spoke. " Oh Charming sweetheart you did not fail us if anything you are doing the best in your power, yes Regina took Emma but that was not your fault. No one could have saw this coming not me and not you. But it happened and now it is our job as her parents to get her back her safe and sound. I have full faith in you that you will bring her back to us. Snow smiled at him and gave him a gentle soft kiss on the lips.
David smiled at his wife gratefully, he knew his wife would always be there for him. To lift his spirits and give him the courage to do the best of his power to do whatever it takes to get their daughter back.
Meanwhile, Regina was in her bedchambers looking through her magic mirror seeing her enemies full of fear and dread of the disappearance of their dear princess Emma. Regina smirked to herself, she was happy to have accomplished making the lovely Snow white and her price charming to their knees of sorrow over their beautiful baby Emma. Regina looked over to baby Emma who was soundly asleep in her crib that Regina magically made for her while she was her in her kingdom. Truth be told she was falling in love with the princess, how can you not? with a face as cute as this beautiful child Regina thought to her self. Then it struck her she can raise Emma as her own assuming Snow and charming don't succeed and getting her back in their possession. Regina smiled to herself that is what she was going to do, she was going to raise Emma as her own daughter.
Regina went in the other room to find one of her most trustworthy guards to keep a eye on Emma while she had a little chat with her favorite mirror. Walking down the hall she approached the guard she had been looking for. sure he was a former pirate in his day, which made him cocky at times. He tries to flirt with any woman that walks by. He even tried to flirt with her after she rescued him from the giant who was going to crush him. As to show his gratitude to Regina he offered his services to be one of her guards. Against her own judgement she agreed. Surprisingly he was a great guard, and proven to be a trustworthy person at that.
" Hook I need you to watch Emma while I have a lovely conversation with Sydney. Hook gave Regina a flirtatious smile and replied.
" Of course whatever you need your majesty" Hook smiled. Regina rolled her eyes at the former pirate and spoke.
" Thank you" Regina replied.
" Hook bowed to Regina and headed straight to the queen's bedchambers to look over the princess while Regina had a conversation with Sydney about who knows what.
Regina went into her library, that her secret place she meets with her magic mirror.
" Mirror! Regina shouted at the top of her lungs. At that moment the man in the mirror appeared.
" Yes your majesty how may I be of service? Sydney asked.
" There has been a little change in plans, instead of just keeping the young princess Emma as blackmail to Snow and charming I have decided to raise Emma as my own" Regina replied.
The mirror looked shocked he knew the queen had a crazy devious plan but this was taking it to knew heights. You see, Sydney's in love with Regina and he would do anything for her. Regina knew this so she used it to her advantage. But he was genuinely concerned for his queen as he like to call her. if this went south it could bring nothing but pain and misery to her, and that is the last thing he would want.
" Your majesty, are you sure that is a good idea? I mean using her as blackmail and revenge is one thing but raising the child now that's another. Are you sure you want to raise the Charming's child?" Sydney asked.
" Yes I'm sure, this child should have been mine and Daniel's I was ripped from my happily ever after with my true love because of that idiot and her precious charming! Regina shouted venom and hatred spilling from her voice.
" Alright if you are sure? Sydney replied.
" I am Regina said.
Sydney nodded and didn't speak another word, Regina was pleased with herself. She would get her happy ending and it will start off raising Emma who she believed should have been hers and Daniel's child to begin with. Regina walked out of her library and back to her bedchambers, upon returning she saw Hook in one of her chairs that was near Emma's crib looking over her. Regina made her presence known to the former pirate.
" Hello your majesty I didn't see you there" Hook said.
" That's quite alright dear. How was she while I was gone?" Regina asked.
" She was an angel your majesty, she slept the entire time" replied Hook.
" Good" Regina said. " You may be excused Hook." said Regina.
" Have a goodnight your Majesty" Hook bowed.
Regina just nodded and looked back to Emma, Hook sighed he knew of the story of Daniel and how he was taking from Regina. Even though he acted like a flirt, he was genuinely starting to really like Regina hopefully in the near future they could potentially become friends compared to just being her guard and her being his superior. Just like the story with Daniel, he also knew of the story of her and Tinkerbell. He knew from what Regina confided with him about. She had told him of how her and Tinkerbell met and of how Tinkerbell used fairy dust to find Regina's superposed soulmate Robin Hood.
Regina sat in the rocking chair that Hook was sitting in moments before her return. She looked down at the sleeping child's face and spoke ever so softly.
" Don't worry my dear sweet Emma, I will be the best mommy to you. I will be a better mommy than the one that gave birth to you, she took my happy ending so I will take away hers. I will tell you of Daniel your father you true father who is sadly not with us anymore." Regina spoke sadly. Regina then spoke again. " As far as you will know as long as I have anything to do about it, you will know me as your mother and not the lovely Snow white. And you will know Daniel as your father and not that shepherd boy who calls himself prince charming.
Regina reached down and stroked the sleeping baby's face, Emma squirmed a little bit but relaxed into the touch. Regina always wanted to be a wife and mother, she especially wanted that with Daniel. But that never happened thanks to her evil mother ripping his heart out. She was in a dark place after that, if she is honest with herself she still is. But with Emma in her life things will be brighter from now on.
Regina remembered the day when she first met Tinkerbell when the kind fairy appeared in her window and said she could find love again in her soulmate. Regina was confused at the fairy's words, she had thought Daniel was her soulmate. But the fairy just explained that Daniel was her true love not soulmate. Regina was even more confused then. She then asked the fairy if Daniel was not her soulmate then who was? Tinkerbell then used her pixie dust and confirmed that her soulmate wasn't very far away. Who is he? what's his name? Regina had asked Tinkerbell. She had told Regina that he was a man named by the Name of Robin Hood. She also told Regina where she could find him, she told Regina to look for the man with a lion tattoo.
Regina had gone to the place Tinkerbell told her too, there she saw the man with the lion tattoo. He was a handsome man with a radiant smile to mach. Regina had wanted to go in and be with him but she got scared, leaving the King was dangerous in it's own. So she never went in and went back to the castle hoping no one especially the king didn't notice her disappearance. Regina remembered that time clear as day.
" Never again" Regina spoke quietly venom dripping from her lips. Never again will she show such weakness especially to a man such as the king. She will rise and be the person she was meant to be in the first place, only difference is she defiantly won't be the person she once wanted to be. The king made sure of that by the many times he abused her while he was alive and they were married. She hated her mother for saying yes to the king's proposal instead of letting her have her happiness with Daniel.
Regina went over to the mirror and showed Snow and Charming lying in their bed, their faces filled with sadness over the disappearance of their daughter. Regina smirked that will show them not to mess with me Regina thought to herself.
" You should have kept you mouth shut Snow. Now your happy ending is getting shut down because you could not keep a secret. Sucks to be you and your price charming. I'm getting my happy is just beginning while yours is disappearing." Regina smirked and laughed. The image of Snow and prince charming faded Regina fell asleep with a smile upon her face ready for what tomorrow will bring.
