Emma opened her eyes realizing she was clinging on to Regina's dress, Regina chuckled lightly peeling Emma off her.
"Don't worry we're safe now" Regina soothed stroking her hand down Emma's back, Emma nodded stepping away from Regina and smiling nervously.
"Did you really mean that?" Regina asked clasping her hands together nervously, Emma grew silent and nodded.
"Of course" she whispered, Regina couldn't help but smile.
"Listen Regina" Emma whispered, Regina dusted off her dress ignoring Emma.
"We need to set up defences if we want to remain safe" Regina said turning and walking away to the study, Emma pursed her lips as her heart wretched needing to speak to her.
"Regina" Emma said again as Regina disappeared into the study. Rolling her eyes she followed Regina and slumped down into a leather chair, Regina was now flicking through a book, she came over sitting down on Emma's lap smiling softly as she flicked through the book. Emma adjusted herself feeling a pang of guilt hit her as she recalled the events of the previous night.
"Here" Regina said pointing to a spell in her book,
"Why did you need to find this? I thought you already had magic" Emma said feeling herself lean into Regina as she looked at the beautifully inscripted pages of her book.
"Well I do know protection spells, but this is a spell on a much larger scale" Regina explained running her fingers across the inscriptions, Emma nodded and watched as Regina lifted the book to her face and blew on the pages, a thin layer of what looked like dust drifted off the pages, Regina then inhaled the peculiar dust. Emma watched intently as Regina's eyes flickered purple and her shoulders rolled as a power seemed to travel throughout her body.
"There" she whispered turning and looking back to Emma as the purple faded in her eyes. Emma stared in silence, she knew that in ways magic could be feared, but could this really help them?
"Are you going to cast it?" Emma asked breaking her silence, Regina shrugged slightly.
"If it needs to be, it's a big spell. It would drain a lot of my power very fast" Regina said as if it was matter of fact, "Though I doubt they'll be stupid enough to follow"
"You're doubting them? When I'm with you?" Emma replied raising an eyebrow at Regina's attitude, Regina pursed her lips and nodded.
"I suppose" she said, Emma sighed taking Regina's hand.
"Listen Regina, I've got something I should tell you" Emma began looking away from the chocolate brown pools that watched her curiously.
"Last night, i.." Emma stuttered focusing on a spot on the floor, why was this hard for her? After all she and Regina weren't even dating. She looked back up to Regina and studied her beautiful face, Regina's lips were slightly parted and her eyes were filled with warmth. Emma could help but smile slightly at Regina's brow that furrowed in confusion, she was perfect.
"Emma what is it?" Regina asked bringing Emma back to reality.
"Please don't hate me…but I" Emma continued until a loud bang was heard from outside making Regina jumped of her like a cat on a hot tin roof.
"Shit! They're here" Emma gasped jumping up to stand next to Regina who was listening carefully to the loud bangs from outside. " We've got to get out of here" Emma hissed in Regina's ear pulling her arm. Regina retracted her arm from Emma her face darkening, her lip began to curl into an evil smile she then with deadly silence left the room,
"Fuck!" Emma sighed running after her; Regina was beginning to worry her, those idiots might well be trying to kill the woman she loved, but they were also her parents, and it would be better not see them as piles of ashes.
