It's been a day since Regina woke up, and Whale wont let anyone visit her. Emma had protested several times, but he wouldn't give in. Whale hadn't told anyone any information about what had happened which concerned Emma. Whale is definitely hiding something, and Emma knows it.
Emma paces in her room, biting her nail. She still has so many questions. Why did Regina pass out? Why wont Whale let anyone see her? Is Regina ok? Snow comes up into her room and opens the door.
"Emma, stop pacing its making so much noise downstairs." Emma looks up at her.
"Oh, sorry." She says quickly. Snow stands there for a moment and then goes back downstairs. Emma sighs and falls back onto her bed, tired from all this stress.
She tries to think of something else, but she can't. She wants to go back to the hospital, but that would be her fourth attempt to see Regina just today. Henry hasn't been taking things to well either, but right now him and Charming are out probably sword fighting or something. Emma has tried everything to try and get Whale to let her see Regina, but he wont give in for some reason. If Regina was still the Mayor right now she could make him. Emma closes her eyes and pictures the last time she saw Regina. It was the day she had stayed with Regina through the night. She had woken up and seen Regina peacefully sleeping, her face was calm and she looked beautiful. Emma is starting to loose details in that image, and she is afraid that she'll forget what she looks like entirely, even though that's unlikely. All she's been able to think about is Regina ever since that day, and she hasn't gotten much sleep. Nothing makes sense, why wont Whale let anyone see Regina? She shakes her head and sighs. The smell of whatever Snow is cooking starts drifting up the stairs, but Emma isn't hungry, as a matter of fact she hasn't eaten much of anything since Regina was put in the hospital. Emma feels like a piece of her is missing, like there's a hole in her heart. She wonders if this is what Regina felt like for all those years when Daniel died. That must have been terrible for her to live that that for so long.
Regina slowly opens her eyes, squinting from the light that's shinning above her. She wants to speak, but she can't get the words out. Her throat is dry and she has a headache. She tires to sit up, but she can't move. She grows scared, not knowing what to do. All she can move is her eyes so she looks around at what little of the room she can see and she decides that she's probably in the hospital, although she doesn't know why. No one appears to be in the room with her, but she doesn't know for sure. She hears a door open and she quickly looks around.
"I see that you're awake now." It's Whale, she knows that now. He walks into her line of sight and she can see that he is holding his clipboard and he appears to be writing something on it. He walks over to a piece of machinery that Regina is hooked up to and begins to look at the data. He jots down some things and then he turns back to Regina. "Interesting." He says under his breath. She wishes she knew what he's talking about, but she has no idea. He turns around and picks something up from a tray. He holds it up to the light and Regina can see it. Its a syringe. She doesn't know what he's going to do with it, but she's scared. She tries to move, but she still can't. He fills it with some sort of liquid and then he turns around again. He looks at her for a second and then looks down and picks up her arm. She can see her pale skin, and she watches as he puts the needle into her wrist. He pulls it out and sets it back down on the tray. She starts to feel tired and her eye lids start to droop down. She tries desperately to stay awake, but no matter how hard she tries she can't. The last thing she sees is Whale standing above her. "Night night." He says to her as she closes her eyes.
Emma eventually starts to get hungry so she gets up and walks downstairs.
"She's alive!" Snow jokes as she sees Emma coming down. Charming and Henry are sitting at the table eating and Snow is setting Emma's plate at a seat.
"Hey." Emma says, running her fingers through her hair. Henry looks up at her and smiles.
"Grandpa is teaching me how to ride a hose." He says happily. Emma would say some thing like 'I'm sure Regina would be very proud.' but she knows that's a sensitive subject right now.
"That's awesome." Emma says, walking over to sit down. "Thanks." She says quietly to Snow as she walks by. She sits down and starts eating while Henry tells her all about his day. She tries to focus on him instead of worrying about Regina, but its not easy. Tomorrow she's not going to go easy on Whale.
Sorry that was so short guys, but I've been really busy with school, and homework. I'll try to post more, but I can't promise anything. Thanks for all the support in this story, I never thought it would go this far.
