Chapter 1

"I'm sorry...she's gone.."

The four short words that had left the mournful doctor's mouth rang through the blonde's ears like an echo. Slowly every sound that had surrounded her had become silent and she stared vacantly at the man in the white coat. She felt numb because honestly, she didn't know what else she was suppose to feel.

She was gone.

As if someone had flicked a switch on inside of her, Emma Swan's expression changed from a look of being lost to a look of hatred in a matter of seconds and that was it. The last thing anyone had witnessed, the doctor, even her parents, was the blonde turning on her heel and storming out the hospital looking for someone to blame. Looking for revenge.

Walking along the quiet, blissfully unaware street, Emma headed towards one place she knew could help her. Someone who had recently came back to town to make amends with her daughter and no one else as the evil still lurked inside of her. Emma was looking for Cora.

The relationship between the blonde and older brunette was rocky to say the least. The moment Cora had found out her daughter was in love with the Savior, the woman who destroyed everything that Regina had worked so hard to build, the scorned woman tried desperately to persuade her daughter to return to her old ways and reunite with her mother to bring together a powerful front. Regina of course rejected her mother's attempt of a reconciliation because she was finally happy and in love, which is exactly where she wanted to be.

Regina had tried so hard after her curse had broke to change, to redeem herself and mend her evil ways the best she could. Thankfully for her, this behaviour was what lead Emma to fall for her. Her determination to be good, and, she succeeded because two months later, the blonde sheriff had asked the mayor of Storybrooke if she would like to go for a drink.

Then dinner.

Then an evening in which lead to further exploration of each other in a more physical way. They had tried to take small steps, but that became impossible for both women has they had fallen for each other. Not long after that, the first declaration of love was spoken by Regina herself, finally taking a chance on a new beginning or a happy ending depending on how you look at things.

They had been together for a year, then it happened. The devastating night that was to end one life and change the other for forever.

Without a second thought, Emma had allowed herself entry into the older brunette's house and went in search of the woman, finding her in her study surrounded by books. Spell books, which the blonde had no doubt was being used to find some ridiculous way of keeping her and Regina apart, except the woman was too late.

Sensing a presence, Cora glances up from her position behind her desk and raises an eyebrow intrigued as to why the idiotic sheriff would even darken her doorway. "Sheriff Swan..what may I ask has brought you here at this late hour?"

Emma glares not for the sake of Cora standing there, although her feelings towards the power driven woman is very clear, she glares through her anger, through wanting a way to end the pathetic existence of who caused Regina's death. Her Regina's death.

"I want your guidance..I want you to teach me how to use magic..how to use dark magic..and fast"

Cora lets out a disbelieving chuckle and stares at the serious looking woman. "Oh my dear..you cannot be serious?..there is no way Regina would allow you to-"

"Regina's dead"

Pausing mid sentence, the older woman's eyes widen as she searches Emma's eyes to tell her what she had just heard was not true.

Emma merely blinks, staring back emotionless. "Now, are you going to help me? Or am I going to have to kill the person with my bare hands?"

Cora looks down briefly to the book she was reading still trying to process what she was told but also to hide a sign of weakness, one being a tear threatening to escape her eye. Clearing her throat, the older woman returns her gaze back to the blonde in front of her with cold, darkened eyes. "I will teach you but first, you tell me exactly what happened to my daughter?"

The blonde takes a shaky breath. "Gold, who else...now I know you are more than capable of dealing with him yourself but I also know that you like to be in control..teach me like you wanted to teach her.."

The older brunette watches curiously and makes her way around her desk to stand before Emma. "Then what?"

Emma grips her hands, balling them into fists by her side. "Then I kill him"

Cora purses her lips and squints her eyes at what Emma had just said. "..fine but you do exactly what I say"

Emma shrugs. "Whatever, he needs to pay..I'll be back tomorrow"

Going to protest, the older brunette is prevented as the blonde filled with hatred turns and leaves at a quickened pace.

Approaching the room that she had only left maybe an hour ago, Emma takes a deep long awaited breath, wiping the tears from her face wanting to stay strong to get the revenge Regina truly deserves. Gulping down a lump, she pushes the door open and slides through the gap instantly connecting her eyes with the fragile, pale brunette laid flat on her bed.

Walking slowly over, the blonde looks down at her, stroking her hair back into place with a teary smile that turns into a lip tremble. "Why did you do it huh?..." Kissing the silent woman's forehead, Emma sniffles again as a tear drops down onto the brunette's cold face. "Why..did..you leave me?"

Pressing her own forehead against Regina's, the blonde closes her eyes taking in the last of the apple scent that drifted off from the brunette while placing her warm hand over a cold one igniting a shield over the woman. "You think I'm letting you go that easily...think again.." Lifting her head, Emma looks at Regina's face wishing that she could see those beautiful chocolate coloured eyes shine again instead of being met by stiff eyelids that stay firmly shut. Pressing a final kiss but this time on the woman's lips that are turning blue, the blonde whispers her final words. "I will always love you"

Standing tall, Emma touches her face and makes the former mayor disappear from the hospital bed having sent her to the brunette's own vault for safety. Staring in a daze at the now empty bed, the blonde reaches across to the chair taking hold of the woman's suit jacket before leaving the room behind her clutching the prized possession to her chest.

A/N: anyone else need a tissue? And should I continue?
