A/N: I do not own OUAT. Though... it would be rather cool.
Sorry for the shortness of this chapter
The clearing in the forest stood silent, the trees unmoving … completely still. I lay on the slightly melted snow, staring up at the night sky. I traced the constellations with my fingertips. My head lay on Regina's stomach, my head moving along with her breathing.
"Regina…?" I whisper into the silent air.
Regina hums in acknowledgement.
"Tell me a story… please"
Regina ran her fingers through my tangled, blonde hair.
"Once upon a time….."
… There was a Queen, she had a heart which was not like every other.
It was black.
The Queen ruled on her own.
Though, she secretly wished,
That maybe she will find her true love.
Who will rule with her.
Years passed,
And the Queen grew lonely and angry.
She met many suitors from many kingdoms.
They only wanted her for the royalty, the gold, and the chance to be King.
She turned down every request.
Still searching for her true love.
Slowly losing hope.
One day she was riding through the village.
Trying to put fear into her people's eyes.
The village was empty, except for this one girl.
She stood in front of her home, staring the Queen down.
She did not run in fear, nor did she back down.
This brave girl
Looked The Queen in the eye
And gave her
A rose.
This girl did a simple gesture.
At that moment the Queen felt her heart redden the slightest.
She knew right then and there,
That this girl was special.
That this girl could be her truelove.
But because of the years of losing hope, she tried to push
The feelings aside.
Though, the next time The Queen went to visit the village
The same girl was there.
This time she looked sad.
It broke the Queens heart.
She kept visiting the girl
Slowly falling in love with her.
One day something bad happened..
I could feel Regina stiffen when she said those words. I looked up towards her, seeing a tear make its way down her rosy cheeks. I sit up, taking her face in my hand. Wiping away her tear, she smiles softly at me.
"Please continue Regina…" I whisper.
… something evil.
The Queen being known to cause evil and terror.
Could not stand knowing that the girl, who stolen her heart, was being hurt.
Protectiveness grew.
She promised herself from that day forward
That she would do anything
For her.
She realized
That finally, after years of searching,
She had found
Her true love.
"… and they were on their way to living happily ever after."
I walked along the hallway, towards the main hall. Regina was in a meeting with a representative from the White kingdom. The hall was dark, only lit by the small light shining through the windows. The floor creaked softly, echoing through the silence.
I stop in front of large wooden doors. Regina's voice booming from the creaks, echoing into the hall.
"… You cannot come into MY kingdom and threaten me!" her voiced laced with pure venom.
"Forgive me, your majesty. I mean no disrespect… but" He stressed the word. I flinch, knowing what will happen next. " – the White Kingdom believes that you are holding an innocent girl here hosta—"
A maniacal laugh bursts from Regina's throat.
" You think I am keeping a girl hostage? Against her own free will?!" She screeched.
They are talking about me..
I rip open the door, walking into the tension filled room.
I lock eyes with the Queen. Her eyes filled with fear, anger and… love.
The man was clad in pure white armor. His face was contorted in hatred and persistence. He locked eyes with me.
"So it is true!" He screamed. A smug look plastered on his face.
Graham walked up behind the man, twisting his arms behind his back. The man struggled against the tight grip, he was seething with anger.
" Graham, get this man out of my kingdom.. Or I will be forced to take matters into my own hands." Venom laced her voice, but she kept her mocha eyes trained on me. Trying to stay calm.
Graham left with the man, the anger deflated out of Regina.
She hastily made her way towards me.
"Emma… I am so sorry you had to see that." She whispered. Her hands running along my forearms.
She was trembling.
I pulled her closer to me, placing my hand on the small of her back. My forehead resting against hers.
"… Do you think I am keeping you here against your will? That you do not have a choice?" She whispered, her hot breath washing over my face.
"'Gina… you gave me a home. A real one. One filled with love, a place where I feel safe. You saved me and there is no place I would rather be…" I lean in slightly, placing a small kiss on the tip of her nose.
No place would I rather be….
Then with my Queen...
