Hey! Even though it is clarified in this chapter I thought I would just mention that the potion that Henry took is different than the one Mary Margaret took in the actual show. It allows him to see and hear what Regina does, but not feel anything that she does, so he doesn't feel her pain.
Also depending on the feedback I get I might post the next chapter later today.
"Henry!" Emma screamed as she lunged towards him.
"Relax Miss Swan, Henry will be fine, but he only has 100 seconds now so be quiet" Mr. Gold said restraining Emma.
The three adults looked at Henry hopefully as he stood transfixed staring blankly at the space in front of him.
Regina screamed with the most recent shock. Allowing all the pain that she had tried to keep hidden for these past hours to escape in one blood curdling scream.
"Anything to tell me now Regina?" Owen said as he walked over to her.
"No" Regina responded through clenched teeth.
"Look Regina. I have to give it to you. I didn't see you getting this far. But Tamara already found your beans and I am starting to get impatient so I think I am going to go ahead and speed things up a little." Owen responded before walking back to the machine and turning one of the knobs all the way to its maximum.
Regina swallowed and stared at the ceiling.
"So Regina, I will ask you again, where is my father."
She stayed silent for a moment, "fine" Owen said as he hovered his hand over the button.
"Wait" Regina replied.
Henry blinked and stepped back, his time was up, he found that he was crying.
"Henry are you okay are you hurt?" Emma asked.
"Yes I am fine…I didn't feel anything. But my mom…she was screaming…I've never heard anyone scream like that. We need to help her." Henry pleaded.
"And we will. Do you know where she is? Who took her?" Mary Margaret asked.
"Um…the man Greg, that came to town and visited Mom in the hospital before she had her seizure is the one who is hurting her now, and he mentioned Tamara, he said that she is the one who took Mom's beans."
"Tamara…Neal's fiancé Tamara?" Emma asked.
"I think so." Henry answered.
"Well do you know where she is? Did you see anything helpful?"
"She is in the cannery, they have her hooked up to this machine." Henry replied, sure of himself.
"The cannery…are you sure Henry that is pretty specific." Mary Margaret replied.
"I spent a lot of time hanging out by the beach, sometimes I would explore some of the buildings over there. And the cannery always kind of creeped me out, I recognized it, she is definitely in the cannery. We have to go now!" Henry insisted.
"I'll call David, we may need all the help that we can get." Mary Margaret replied.
The look on Henry's face had gone from one of being worried about his mom, to being scared.
"Yeah, call him, but we need to head over there now. Owen said something about speeding things up and then he turned one of the knobs all the way up on the machine."
"Henry we are ten minutes away." Mary Margaret replied solemnly.
"Well, we better hurry up then" Henry replied anxiously before running out the door to the car.
"So Regina…are you finally going to tell me where my father is?" Owen asked.
"Yes" Regina replied.
"Where?"
"He is dead…I killed him, the minute you left town."
"No he can't be" Owen said angrily as he stomped around the room overturning a nearby table.
"Don't believe me…see for yourself, I buried him at your old camp site." Regina said.
Tamara entered the room at the sound of the overturned table, "Hey is everything okay in here?" she asked.
"Yeah" Owen said as he took a deep breath, walking back over to the machine, "we are almost done here." He pressed his hand down on the button and let it linger as Regina's body spasmed and she screamed out in pain.
When he released his hand her body feel back down onto the table, her breathing was swallow.
"Do you feel that…that is the end of you!" Owen screamed as he pressed down on the button again sending more shocks through Regina's body.
When he released his hand she fell limply onto the table again, her head rolled to one side.
Tamara walked over to where she lay and looked down at the woman. "You did it now come on let's go" Tamara said, walking over to where Owen was standing.
"She killed my father, she has to pay." Owen said angrily as he pressed the button again, Regina's body arched up but she made no sound.
"And she has…now come on let's go, you can pay respects to your father and then we can finish our work here." Tamara said, placing her hand comfortingly on his back.
Owen took a deep breath and allowed his arms to fall to his sides, before walking out of the room and out of the cannery.
Henry leaped out of the car before it had even come to a complete stop and ran inside the cannery.
"Henry, wait for us" Emma called as she and Mary Margaret chased after him after putting the car in park.
Henry ran through the hallways calling for his mother, but no sound came. He came to a door that was open slightly and pushed it open before running inside, "MOM!"
"Henry!" Emma called as she turned the corner and went through the door as well, Mary Margaret only paces behind.
"Mom" Henry said a little more feebly as he walked over to where she say and tried shaking her, but she didn't respond.
"Emma?" he looked up at his birth mother with pleading eyes, "can you help her."
Emma walked over and put two fingers gently on Regina's neck, looking for a pulse.
"I'm so sorry Henry" Emma said.
"NO, she isn't gone. This isn't how her story ends. Mom come back to me" Henry begged.
Mary Margaret stepped forward and started unhooking the wires from the electrodes that Greg and Tamara left on Regina when they left. Letting Regina out of the straps when she came to them.
"Mary Margaret…she is gone." Emma said, watching her mother with a puzzled look as she went determined from one electrode to another.
"But we don't leave her like this….not like this." Mary Margaret replied, looking up at Emma.
David ran into the room, his gun drawn and lowered it once he saw the state of everyone in the room. He walked over to his wife and tried to pull her into a hug, she was practically shaking and tears feel freely but she simply shook David off and continued disconnecting the electrodes.
"Is there anything I can do?" David asked helplessly.
"Find a first aid kit. I would like to have something to put on her burns." Mary Margaret replied. David looked at Emma confused. They both knew there was no reason for treating a dead woman. "Sooner would be better than later" Mary Margaret replied and David left to get the first aid kit in his car.
Emma moved forwards and put a comforting hand on Henry's shoulder, as he clung to his mother. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead lightly whispering, "Please Mom you can't die, I love you."
Reviews are appreciated, let me know what you think. If I get enough people asking I might post the next chapter later today instead of tomorrow night.
