Prompt: Regina has a nightmare and Emma comforts her
"No!" I scream, running forwards, trying to reach Emma before the sword runs right through her. I can only watch as Emma collapses to the floor. "No, Emma!" I cry but spin around as I see Henry cry out.
"Mum!" He cries as the man who just stabbed Emma turns his sword on Henry.
"No, Henry!" I scream, but I cannot reach him before the sword slices through his neck. I can only watch as he starts to bleed out, his blood running out onto the floor.
"Regina," I feel someone shaking me. "Regina, wake up." I open my eyes and take a huge gasp of breath. I run my hand through my hair, I can feel the sweat running down my face. The memory of Emma and Henry being killed in front of me comes back to me.
"Argh!" I cry out. "Emma? Henry?"
"I'm here," I hear Emma's voice. "What's wrong Regina? You were screaming and tossing and turning in your sleep."
"Y-you were killed. You and Henry," I tell her, putting my head on her stomach and she strokes my hair comfortingly. "I tried to stop them but I couldn't. I tried but I was too slow." I gabble.
"It's fine," Emma says. "It was just a dream. It was just a dream, it's not real."
"But it felt so real," I murmur. "I had to watch and I couldn't do anything."
"It's okay," Emma says. "It's not gonna happen, Henry and I aren't gonna be killed."
"You promise?" I ask. I feel like I'm 5, but it's nice to be comforted.
"Of course," Emma tells me. "You're not getting rid of me that easily."
