Sorry this chapter might be short. I wanted to get something up. I just been busy. But the next one should have more.
Heartbreak
" This doesn't make any sense Regina. You never mention him to me or to anyone as matter of fact. " Ruby's said to Regina. Both were standing near the room of David. No one else had come yet and Regina was glad it was Ruby she seen first. She hated to hurt her even more but she knew if her plan went as well as she hoped, she would have Ruby back and they could live happily once more.
" I never mentioned him because I didn't think he would ever come out of the coma. I was trying to move on. Plus I hadn't expected to fall-" Regina was cut of when she noticed people were coming toward them. She groaned and looked at Ruby. " We will finish this later. " Regina said and marched over to the people coming.
" Regina this is crazy. Ruby told us that , David was or is you fiance'. But how? Why did you ever say anything?" Mary Margret asked as Emma stood beside her. Emma was confused. How could this be true? Henry never said anything and she over heard the doctors saying he had been in the coma for years, thirteen to be exact.
" I shouldn't have to tell you anything. But here is the story. Thirteen years ago we got in an argument. He stormed off and cashed his car. I found him, brought him here and waited three years for him to wake. When he didn't I decided to move on. I never really mentioned him. But seeing him last night made me realize my mistakes. I have never stopped loving him. So when he seen me I guessed him remember a little bit of our past. " Regina explained the lie so flawlessly. She knew she had to sell the idea for all of them to believe.
" I gotta go. " Ruby said as she rushed passed Regina but Regina could see the hurt. As much as it broke her own heart to see Ruby upset she knew this was the only way. She looked back at the two in front of her. Mary Margret looked confused, not even sure what to say.
" Don't you have something better to do. " Regina said walking around the two and leaving them there to deal with whatever else. She didn't want see the man if she didn't need too. She didn't love him. That was far from the truth. She walked the hospital.
"Um hello?" a man called from behind Mary Margret who was still standing there shock. She turned to face him and noticed him looking at Emma. Emma faced him as well and turned her head a bit curious of who he was. He ran his hand through his brown hair." I am Graham, I am Ruby's deputy. She went home not feeling well and sent me to speak Emma. " he said smiling at her.
Emma crossed her arms not really caring to speak to him but it was Mary Margret who spoke up. " Why? She already explained what happened with David. " Mary Margret placing a protective hand in front of the girl. Emma pushed pass her to face the man.
" That isn't why I am here. Ruby and I have been talking. We need someone willing to help us with some small things like picking up orders for lunch. She feel Emma might enjoy being helpful and doing some voluntary so she could really be part of this town. Ruby liked how her and Henry were able to find David. We would want Henry too but Regina already said no. So what do you say Emma?" He asked leaning down to be eye level. She was surprised. Did this really mean she find a place she could call home.
Slowly she nodded. " Yes thanks. That is the nicest thing someone has ever done for me. " She said and he reached his hand out. She took it and at the same time they shook hands, something crashed in the distant. Everyone looked at each other.
" Something is wrong and we need to go check it out. Come on my helper." Graham said and both Mary Margret and Emma followed him. It didn't take long to find the source, a old mine cave seem to exploded in place. Emma gasped. How come this happened the minute she agreed to finally be part of this town. She realized this might be the proof she would need to finally believe of this. Without letting anyone to see her, she slipped away to where she seen Henry standing. She tapped his shoulder.
"Hey we need to talk. " She whispered to him. She nodded to the place behind his mother car and he followed her over there. " I think this cave came as soon I agree to be part of the town by being the cops' little helper. Could this be proof?" She asked and Henry just starred.
" You are saying right after you decided on that, that this happened? Oh my! Emma you know what this means?" He asked in excitement. Emma covered his mouth.
" Calm down before they hear you. " She warned and moved her hand.
"Emma this mean that the curse is weakening we need to find proof. " He said and she wanted to say that this didn't mean anything but he was right about one thing. They needed to find proof but she wanted it to finally believe this crazy mess. Her head began to hurt once. It was too much to deal with sometimes. She nodded walked over to the cave where no one could see them.
" We need to sneak in, come on. " Emma said grabbing his hand. She ran inside before anyone could stopped them. It took only a second for her eyes to get used too the darkness. She smiled at Henry. " We made i-" Her voice was cut off when walls began to crumbled and fall. They tried to run out but it was too late the entrance was covered and they were stuck.
