WARNING THIS CHAPTER IS VERY DARK. IT CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND RAPE. I UNDERSTAND IT MIGHT MAKE SOME READERS UNCOMFORTABLE BUT THIS IS NECESSARY IN THE STORY PLOT.

DON'T WORRY THE LIGHT ALWAYS BREAKS THROUGH THE DARK.

Regina stayed in the water for so long that she startled herself when the hard leather brushed against her thigh. She lifted her hand urgently out of the tub eyeing the leather cuff angrily. She had been in such shock that she forgot that Sidney had placed it on her to be extra safe from her magic.

She reached for some enchanted scissors she had borrowed from Gold's shop and ripped it off throwing it into the air and blowing it in smithereens sending her magic coursing through her veins. He would pay for what he had done to her but in this moment in time all that concerned her was Emma.

Regina struggled to hoist herself out of the tub. She was fragile and in pain but she had to call Emma. She held onto the side of the bath as her legs and thighs burned. She winced as she eventually stood up grabbing her dressing gown from the back of the door. The smell of burning fabric filled her nostrils as she quickly put out the fireball that had started the flames. She gazed into the mirror as the anger was swallowed and she walked with purpose to her bed.

Regina picked up her handbag along with the disc and placed them on her nightstand. She began to empty the bag contents in search of her phone which was nowhere to be seen. Another fireball began to expand as she remembered where it was. She shivered as her mind flashed back.

"You're not expecting any calls are you Madame Mayor?

Regina shook her head as his voice creeped up her neck. She could still feel his breath whispering into her ear. He grabbed Regina's phone and dropped it into the fish tank

Regina threw her bag against the wall as the tears fell again. She found herself limping to the study downstairs to get the house phone. She didn't care how late it was she had to call Emma Swan. Picking up the receiver with a shaking hand Regina dialed Emma's number from her phone book by the lamp. It rang ten times before she heard a barely audible reply.

"Hello?

Mumbled a clearly intoxicated sleepy Swan.

"Emma?

Regina's voice was just as low but filled with so much pain. Emma turned over and turned on her bedside lamp.

"Regina? It's nearly 3am…

Emma sat up wiping her eyes and smearing the eye make up onto her cheek.

"Yes I'm sorry… I just had to call you."

Emma cut her off.

"Well it's a bit late for that isn't it?

Regina scrunched her face.

"Emma please don't be angry with me, I know it's late. I need to…"

Regina found herself stumbling over her words.

"Angry at you… Regina look you obviously forgot about our plans tonight or actually maybe you didn't and spent the night with the person you actually wanted to be with. Frankly I don't care"

Emma was slurring.

"Emma what on earth are you talking about? Have you been drinking?

Regina's hand was shaking.

"No shit Sherlock!

Emma yelled out startling herself. Regina jumped at the reply.

"Emma… I know you are upset with me and I'm so sorry for not coming over... I wanted to meet you tonight. I really did. But something happened...umm "

Just then Regina had a flashback

Regina had awoken with fright in Mary Margaret's classroom. She jumped to her feet to inspect her surroundings and held her hand tightly onto her throbbing head which was bleeding. She went to heal the wound and gasped when she realized she couldn't use her magic there.

Sidney emerged from the doorway and walked over to the panicked Mayor.

"Hold still"

Regina retaliated and ran for the door. Sidney stuck out his foot and Regina toppled over it. Sidney pulled Regina's arms behind her back and tied the leather cuff.

"This is just back up in case you find a loop hole on the magic protection spell"

Regina thrashed kicking her legs and hitting him in the chest. Sidney picked her up and smiled a cold smile and held Regina by the neck against the notice board. The fresh blood trickled down her left eye as Sidney shoved her roughly hitting her head against the wooden frame. Regina fought with herself not to give into the pain she merely laughed.

"What do you want?

Sidney smirked.

"I'm afraid dinner just won't do...Very well I'll just have to show you won't I?

A look Regina knew all too well flashed in his eyes as he threw Regina violently onto the cold tiled floor and got on top of her. Pinning her hands over her head Sidney smiled.

"I took inspiration for Mr Hook's attempt"

Regina squirmed under the man as he began to caress her face.

"You truly are a Queen"

Sidney kissed Regina on the mouth hungrily. When he broke the kiss Regina glared up at him with such hatred.

"Sidney… Please you don't have to do this?

Regina's strong persona was starting to break.

"Oh yeah right, as if you would look at me twice if I took the gentle approach!

Regina winced.

"Sidney… I care about you I do I just…"

Sidney held her hands down harder.

"Look we can do this the easy way or the hard way"

Sidney smirked as his arousal made Regina flinch when she felt him against her waist.

"Sidney please don't…"

Regina was scared and she knew her confident exterior was crashing down faster and faster with each breath.

"You know what you have to do!

Regina blinked hard as a single tear fell.

"I don't know what you want me to do Sidney?

Regina yelled at the man. Sidney slapped Regina hard across the face. Regina almost passed out from the welt.

"Okay I'll explain… The only way I am giving you your proof for that whore of yours is if you make her believe that you and I are in love… simple as that. You make her believe that and I'll give you what you need"

Regina spat in Sidney's face with such force that he let go of her hands. Regina sat up and pushed him off and ran for the door. Sidney pulled her back by the hair and bent her over the teacher's desk. Regina coughed as she caught her breath.

"Why are you being so stubborn Madame Mayor? Look at you so helpless, can't fight back eh?

Regina grinded her teeth as she took a swing at Sidney's face. Sidney ducked and Regina tripped forward landing on her knees. Regina yelled out.

"You are sick… Do you hear me? You are a sick pathetic man! How could I ever love someone like you?

That's all it took for Sidney to push her roughly forward and flip her to face him as he got on top of her again. He ripped off her blouse and unhooked her bra and licked down to her breasts. Regina screamed and thrashed as hard as she could. Hissing at his touch.

"Stop it please Sidney… Please"

Regina was trembling under his weight as he flashed her a dark look.

"Why can't you you tell her you love me Madame Mayor?

Regina gulped swallowing hard.

"Because...I love her"

Sidney's eyes turned black as coal.

"If you do not make her believe that you love me… I will kill her."

Regina's heart shattered on the spot.

"No you wouldn't do that… You monster! Sidney please if you hurt her You will pray that you have never been born. Please Sidney"

Regina couldn't stop the tears cascading down her face.

"You know I want you… You know I do"

Sidney pulled up Regina's skirt. Regina yelped as he tore away her underwear.

As Regina heard him unzip his pants she shut her eyes.

"Please Sidney! You don't have to do this. Don't do this…"

Regina screamed out in intense pain as the man forcefully entered her. With his free hand he held her mouth. Regina couldn't breathe with the pain. Sidney wispered into her ear.

"You know what I want you to do!

Regina choked back the tears as his voice echoed in her head.

Sidney picked her up and placed her ontop of the teacher's desk.

"You wanted to act for me… remember… make her believe and I won't go near her. I promise you"

Regina was shivering as her breasts were now exposed and her legs were spread as he prepared to enter her again.

"What do I have to do?

Regina sobbed.

"Look at the cameras Madame Mayor… and act like you want me"

Regina struggled to grasp his words as he pulled her towards him. But she understood that he was a man so desperately in love with her that if she couldn't love him naturally she could act instead and with that realization Regina inhaled as she humored him.

"I want you Sidney… Take me now"

Sidney smiled wider than the cheshire cat. He whispered into her ear.

"That's it, keep going… Moan for me"

Sidney entered her and Regina gasped as he turned her to face the cameras.

"Oh Sidney"

Her voice was raspy and shaky but believable and that's all that mattered in that moment. Regina went numb as Sidney neared his climax and as he shook Regina let out a loud moan in response. Sidney shook hard as he came down from his high. He climbed of the shaking Mayor and fetched her a towel from the bathroom at the back of the classroom.

"Here clean yourself up"

Regina caught the towel and wiped her face and head.

Regina stood up quickly and lost her balance as her thighs throbbed in pain. She sat up straight against the desk and eyed the door.

"Wait you can't go out like that"

Sidney lifted her black coat off the hook on the wall. He removed the Mayor's torn blouse and handed her his shirt. He waited until she had readjusted her bra and put it on.

"I never wanted it to be like this"

Sidney buttoned up the coat on the zombie like Mayor.

"Sidney… I'm in love with her"

Regina's brown eyes were puffy and swollen and Sidney in that moment saw his reflection in her eyes.

Sidney walked the Mayor to his car.

"Oh and one more thing if you decide to tell her that you didn't want to be here tonight and what happened between us I will be forced to show her this tape"

Regina's heart sank as she clutched onto the car seat.

Regina cried all the way to her house. Just as she unbuckled her belt she whispered.

"Emma knows when I'm lying… she'll believe me I know it."

Sidney smirked throwing the footage of her and Hook on her lap.

"Yeah she might… but if you tell her I'll kill her. So you better act the part Madame Mayor because if you break character it's the final curtain. It's showtime in two weeks. You want to make your son proud of you and not know what a slut his mother was tonight. If you come after me in any shape or form I will not hesitate in killing Henry as well."

Regina screamed internally as he escorted her out of his car. She kept her head down as he walked her up the path.

Regina clutched to the phone.

"Regina I don't have time to listen to your guilt trip right now. Some of us have plans tomorrow and I plan to stick to mine"

"I.. got the proof for you Miss Swan"

Regina's voice was shaky as she wiped away the falling tears on her sleeve.

"Great... Make sure you tell your boyfriend thanks from me"

Emma's tone was cold. Regina held her hand over her mouth as she cried with force.

"Emma..."

"Goodnight Madame Mayor"

Regina slumped onto the floor and the dial tone grew louder in her ears.
