I DO NOT OWN : SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN.

A/N: Hallo guys. How are you doing? Thank you for reading, for following my story, for putting it as your fave, for following me and for the AWESOME reviews! You guys are THE BEST! And LOVELY of course! :D I love you loads. Here is chapter 29. I hope you like it. Tell me what you think in a review?

Hold on to your seats, you guys. Eric is taken to the hospital, while Snow waits for him to wake up. And Snow's dad, Tom, will have another visitor but this time at work.


It was 11:30 at night, when Snow woke up from an uncomfortable nap and looked at her watch. She was sitting in a chair and fell asleep sideways. Her neck hurt very bad, so she rubbed it with her right hand. It took her a couple of moments to realize where she was; then her eye caught the hospital bed. Eric was lying in it. With a huge lump in her throat she walked those three steps towards him. He was still unconscious, but it looked like he was asleep. His lip was busted and he had a black eye. The doctor said that he was beaten up badly, but he was going to be fine in a couple of days. With enough rest, he was going to be his old self in no time. Snow acted fast into calling for help; the owner of the Bed and Breakfast helped her also.

She stood next to his bed and looked at him with pain in her heart. This was all her fault! If she hadn't dragged him with her, he wouldn't be here right now! She grabbed his right hand and took it in hers. She intertwined their fingers and brought his hand to her lips. She then closed her eyes and kissed his hand, while tears rolled down her cheeks. He looked so vulnerable in that hospital bed. She felt very guilty and wished that she didn't ask him to come along with her.

Right after they arrived at the hospital, she called his mother and his boss. His mom wanted to come to see him right away, but Snow told her that it wasn't necessary. She told her what the doctor said; that he was going to be fine in a couple of days. And Snow promised her that she was going to take good care of him. Eric's mom was worried sick, but she trusted Snow. So she promised Snow that she was going to stay home.

When Snow called the Captain, he was shocked to hear that Eric got into a fight but didn't ask her more questions. She was glad about it, but she knew that he was expecting her to explain what exactly happened when they were back home. Donnie and Patrick were outraged and immediately wanted to come to get those men who attacked Eric, but the Captain ordered them to stay put. The local Police was handling the case. She was at the hospital, when they questioned her. She gave the local Police their description and told them how they had attacked her and Eric.

Snow sighed deeply and still had his hand close to her lips. She decided right then that they were going to go home, the moment Eric was able to. She had enough of her own selfishness. Knowing what was inside of the safety deposit box wasn't worth people she loved getting hurt. Mr. Ward, the man who gave her the key, told her that the contents of the deposit box had something to do with what happened 12 years ago. He also mentioned that she had met him then, but she really cannot remember. She had a creepy feeling that it had something to do with why her memory was erased and also about Joseph and that teenage girl. The key was stolen and Eric was injured badly; she was at the end of her rope and accepted the fact that she will never know about what happened 12 years ago.

She let out a breath and let go of his hand. She then caressed his face and looked at him with loving eyes. In the last months she had fallen deeply in love with him. When he was in her arms unconscious, her whole world fell apart. In the ambulance she begged him not to leave her, because she couldn't live without him. She told him that nothing else mattered as long as he stayed with her. She has given up to find the key, but she has gained so much more. As long as Eric was with her, the whole world could crumble around them and still it would be okay. She just needed him to be with her. She loved him so much that sometimes the idea of losing him, made it hard for her to breathe.

She then leaned in, cupped his bruised face and promised." It's just you and me, sweetie. Nothing else matters."

The next morning, she was woken up by feeling a warm hand on her face. She had fallen asleep on the chair next to Eric's bed with her head resting on the bed. She looked up and gazed into his sparkling blue eyes. Her breath hitched in her throat, when she saw the loving look in his eyes.

Her eyes welled up, so he smiled at her even when it hurt like hell to even smile. But he wanted to prevent her from crying.

"It's okay, sweetie. Don't cry, I am fine now. There's no need to cry over me." he said softly.

But hearing him say that, was the last straw to her so she finally let her tears flow. He whispered sweet words to her and held her in his arms. His whole body ached like crazy, but he was so happy that she was unharmed. It didn't matter that they beat him up. As long as they didn't hurt her, nothing else mattered to him. He needed her to be safe; he couldn't live without her anymore.

"I love you so much, Snow. Do you know that?" He pleaded.

Through the tears she nodded and said."Yes, I know. And I love you too, Eric. So much. Don't ever scare me like that again, okay?"

He nodded, while squeezing her so tightly that she almost couldn't breathe.

"Eric, I can't breathe." She pleaded.

He loosened his grip on her and began to chuckle. She too couldn't hold back and began to laugh out loud. There they were, like they didn't have a care in the world holding each other and laughing. It was a beautiful sight.

After staying for three days in the hospital, the doctor gave the permission for Eric to leave. They were both overjoyed. At the moment, they were back at the Bed and Breakfast in his room. She was packing, while he went to the bathroom. He came out of the bathroom and asked.

"What are you doing, Snow?"

"I am packing your stuff; we'll be on our way home within 2 hours. When I am done with yours, I will pack up my stuff." She said calmly.

He shook his head and said." I am not going home. I promised you that we were going to get your key back and that's exactly what I am going to do. And after you have the key in your possession, you can explain everything to me. From beginning to end. I do not want to know yet. Four puny men are not going to scare me away, sweetie. This time I will be prepared."

Snow looked at Eric and saw something in his eyes that terrified her. He sounded determined; she was afraid that she was not going to be able to persuade him to change his mind.


Tom Wilson was sitting in his office at work, when he heard a knock.

His secretary walked in and said." You have company, sir."

He was busy trying to finish his work. It was almost 5 PM. He shook his head and said.

"No, Kelly. I don't have time for that. Schedule an appointment for next week."

He didn't even ask who it was. She was about to walk out to do as her boss ordered her, but without hesitation the man walked into Tom's office.

"Sir, you can't come in here!" She shouted.

Tom looked up and saw who it was. He stiffened and said firmly.

"It's okay, Kelly. Leave us, please."

Kelly left the office and closed the door behind her. She wondered who that man could be. Her boss never accepted company without an appointment first. This man must be very important! She thought.

"Aren't you going to offer me a seat, Tom?" the man said.

"Do as you please. I didn't invite you and still you barge into my office." Tom said with a cold tone in his voice.

The man took a seat and looked around the office.

"What do you want? I told your partner a couple of days ago, that it would be better not to make contact with each other! Why are you here? " Tom said; he got very impatient.

The man took something out of the pocket of his coat and placed it on Tom's desk. Tom's eyes widened with disbelieve.

"Is that what I think it is?" he whispered. Still looking at it, like it was something holy.

The man began to laugh out loud. His whole body shook.

"Yes, this little thing was supposed to cause our downfall. But as I have told you before. We are powerful men and can do anything we want. We can make things disappear and get anything we desire. As long as we have money and power, the rest can fade." He said coldly.

Tom looked at the thing the man put on his desk once more and wanted to take it in his hand, but his visitor grabbed it and put it in his pocket again.

"Now you can sleep peacefully at night again, Tom. You don't have to be afraid to lose your lovely wife. No need to thank me." He said mockingly and walked out the office, leaving Tom behind with mixed feelings.


A/N again: Hey guys! What do you think? Will Snow and Eric go back home? Or is Eric seeking vengeance? What in the h*** did the man put on Tom's desk that seemed so important?

Please review and tell me what you think.

Thank you. Have a very good day!

:D
