Chapter 21
Regina suddenly became incredibly alert, she froze, knowing why Gideon was in her cell. Her body started to become numb, getting ready to protect her from the pain that was about to come. Gideon advanced on the almost naked brunette who scooted away as far as she could until she hit the cold wall behind her. Her eyes never leaving Gideon's. "Gideon, please. Don't do this" she said, hoping that there was something left inside him to stop himself from going through with his promise he had made a day ago.
"I told Emma, what she needed to do, and she failed." Gideon said shaking his head, approaching the trembling brunette. Regina's eyes widened as they followed Gideon's hand as it plunged forward, roughly grabbing Regina's arm and pulling her up to stand on her feet. Regina winced and yelped at the bruise he will be leaving on her arm. He pulled her closer to him, getting incredibly close to her face. Regina never blinking stared at him, horrified at the crazed look on his face. "Now you will pay" he said before throwing her down on the ground hard, Regina yelled as she hit the dirt and straw covered ground, wincing attempting to get away from the man. He grabbed her leg and dragged her closer to him.
"No!" She yelled clawing at the ground, fully struggling with all the strength that she had. "No!" she yelled louder, as his hands made their way up her thighs. Her eyes welled up with fresh tears. She felt a hand curl it's way around her wrist and the pressure of his body on top of her. One of his hands slithered around her throat and her panic mode went off and she started screaming, startling Gideon for a second, making him pause.
Meanwhile, down the halls of the dwarf mines, Emma was walking cautiously with Zelena and Rumple close behind. "Now when we get there, our main objective is to get Regina to safety, we can deal with the –" Emma's instructions were cut off by a loud terrifying shriek. Emma's eyes widened with horror recognizing that voice. She began to take off but was stopped by Zelena.
"Wait, it could be a trap!" The red head said, grabbing Emma's arm stopping her from walking into a potential hazard.
"What if it's not!?" Emma said, beginning to panic with the idea that Regina is not too far away and she's being restricted from going to her.
"We have to be careful, it's not going to do Regina any good if we just fly in there and get ourselves killed!" Zelena insisted. Emma heard another scream.
"Look, we have to go to her!" Emma pleaded. "She's in pain!" she pulled away from Zelena, taking some caution but heading towards the sounds and screams. Rumple and Zelena continued following her, more cautious about their surroundings.
Re-entering from the other realm, Snow, Henry and Queen Regina entered Emma's home through the mirror. Snow immediately went to her phone to check the messages that Emma said she would be sending her once they found Regina's location. "She's in the dwarf mines!" she exclaimed.
"I can get us there in no time" the queen almost completed her teleportation spell but was stopped by Snow.
"Wait!... Henry… I'm going to go with her and you stay here with Belle and help her" Snow turned to Henry hoping that Henry will accept it as Emma had explained to him earlier he shouldn't see his mother in a state if she were in one. Henry sighed, upset that he was being excluded. "Like Emma said, Henry, please this is for the best. We'll try to get her home as soon as possible okay?" Snow did her best in the little time they had. Henry finally nodded and stepped away from the two as they disappeared into purple smoke. Henry sighed again, and looked around for Belle.
Snow and the Queen poofed right behind Zelena and Rumple in the mines, startling Zelena. "Oh! You're back! That was quicker than I had anticipated" Emma had heard Zelena talking and took a few steps back to see what new visitors they had. Emma looked at the Queen, who looked identical to Regina, and tried not to become emotional. The queen had a slightly different personality and experiences but she was technically Regina.
"Are you okay with the plan when and if we need you to do a performance?" Emma said, watching the Queen shift a little.
"I've done many things that I don't enjoy, I think I can handle a fairy" the queen smiled. They heard the scream again. Emma's blood boiled, Snow almost became ill hearing the blood curdling shriek. The queen winced, just hoping it wasn't what she thought it was. The gang took off, slightly more confident now that they have grown with another witch and an expert archer.
They entered a room with multiple cells, they're eyes all settled on Gideon on top of Regina, slapping her, holding her arms as he struggled with her. Blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, as well as other gashes on her body where it looked like that had fought. Regina turned and saw them, standing there stunned. Her humiliation doubled, just as he had torn off her panties and ripped her bra to shreds. Then something in the brunette snapped and everything slowed down. "Leopold STOP!" Power emitted from her hand, sending Gideon flying off her hitting the other wall of the cell. Yells from Emma, echoed for her slowly in the background muffled. Regina laid there, not feeling anything, naked. Gideon slid down the wall unconscious. Emma rattled the cell doors trying to get them to budge, as Zelena and the queen tried using their magic to open the cell door. She heard the muffled sounds of Emma's whimpers and pleads as she lolled her head to face her. Her eyes unable to focus, unable to understand what the blonde was trying to say. She heard Rumple's muffled voice speaking to the group, but wasn't able to make out what was being said. Emma turned to face them, saying something equally as incomprehensible.
"We can't get her out of there, that cell is sealed with magic only the black fairy has." Rumple said, showing emotion in his voice.
"We have to get her out of there, Gold, we're this close we can't leave her. Do you really want to leave your son too?" she indicates to the unconscious Gideon in the corner. Rumple looks at him sadly, and glances back at the semi-conscious Regina.
"We have to go with the plan, to distract the black fairy" He said, looking the Queen. She nods, looking back at Regina in the cell, knowing what kind of pain she might be experiencing at this point.
"You-…You're…" Regina begins to mutter, eyes fixated on Emma. "You're the bla…black fairy" she said watching Emma. Emma frowns at this.
"No, Regina, I'm Emma, I'm here, we're here to rescue you" Emma says trying to calm Regina down.
"No, you…you're not. You're tric-tricking me…you wanted t-to watch as Emma…" Regina turned her eyes to the ceiling, tears falling down the sides of her face. "You-you're going to kill me, just d-do it" she said as she closed her eyes. Emma sunk down arms, stretched trying to reach Regina's hand laying on the ground as she shook her head.
"Regina, I'm not, I promise…it's me…" Emma said, tears now running down her face, as she watched the brunette tremble slightly.
"Well, well" A familiar light hearted voice came from behind the group. "What have we here? Visitors?" She looks at the group members, eyeing them, her eyes land on the Queen. "oh my, what do we have here now, twin?" the Queen smiles at the recognition.
"Even better" the Queen grins mischievously. "You picked the wrong Regina for your plan, when you could have had a stronger more powerful version of her" the black fairy smiled darkly at the queen stepping closer to her.
"Oh dearie, you radiate delicious power, there's no doubt about that" the fairy sneered, shamelessly looking the Queen up and down. "but, this Emma here, seems to be having some fun with your weaker half" the black fairy pushed passed the queen heading towards the blonde, who immediately stood up in front of the cell door. "What are you doing?" she laughed.
"You are not getting anywhere near her!" Emma warned, light magic tingling her hands. The black fairy laughed, waving her hand sending Emma flying to another wall. Regina's eyes snapped open as she heard the thump of Emma's body, her iris and the white of her eyes had turned completely black.
