"Stop!" Snow screamed as they entered the room, the scene was unthinkable. Regina was wobbling, only slightly conscious sitting upon a large piece of wood, her wrists bound, her ankles weighted, and her neck tied to the ceiling. Her father stood behind the bleeding woman with a metal tipped whip in his hand.
Everyone in the room looked up at the two women.
"Put down the whip Father, now" Snow said in the deepest voice she could muster up.
The king simply laughed and went to whip the already broken woman once more, her face twisted into one of horror. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a flash of white and then a ball of white light went flying at her father. Smashing into his chest and throwing him into the other side of the rooms wall.
Snow looked to Emma shocked at the magic that had occurred.
Emma stared at her hands, stunned at what had come out of them.
After a moment of pause the two women shook it off and went running to the now unconscious woman.
They tried to just pull the cuffs and weighs off of her but that didn't seem to work.
"you- come here and help us get these undone" Emma demanded of one of the guards who had just watching the whole scene.
The young man pulled out a key and first unlocked the weights around her ankles. Then he removed the rope from her collar but he couldn't remove the collar without the special key that Leopold kept on his person. She slumped over when she no longer had the rope holding her upright, Emma caught her quickly and held her, careful not to touch any of her whip lashes. Finally the guard unlocked the ties on the cuffs but left the cuffs on for there was no buckle to take them off from.
Emma pulled the woman gently off the wooden beam, blood sleeping down her thighs as Emma scooped her up bridal style.
"Let's go Snow-" Emma stated pointedly.
"go? go where!?" Snow called running after her.
"I don't know but we aren't staying here- I don't give a shit what happens to that piece of shit but I won't let her stay in this palace with him alive for one moment longer."
"you've never even met her before now!" Snow was utterly lost by the affection that this stranger was showing her step-mother.
The woman simply shrugged and headed for the door with Regina in her arms. Snow followed closely behind her.
"wait!" A man called from behind them. They both froze at the voice. Almost expecting to be arrested and thrown in the dungeon.
"Where will you go? who will lead us? surely you won't let Leopold keep his thrown?" The man spoke again and Snow visibly relaxed at the statement. She turned around to face him and pulled herself into a regal pose.
"We shall leave the kingdom and await my step-mothers improved health. Then we shall return and she will take the thrown until I am of age. Until then you will throw my father in the dungeon and keep him there until I return and I will decide what to charge him with."
The men of the council all nodded and the guards went to arrest the king.
"and in the meantime? what do we tell the people? what do we charge him with now? and who will lead us until your return?"
"you may vote amongst yourself, but keep in mind that it will not be permeant. I will be sending word when we get where we are going. We will notarize an official document then. For now charge him with Treason."
The Council all nodded and didn't stop her as Snow turned around and followed Emma out into the hall.

They had just about made it to the door when Emma realized that Regina was still naked.
As if reading her mind she saw a young brunette woman with red streaks running up with a loose looking night gown and a cloak.
"Ruby!" Snow bellowed and ran to the girl, wrapping her still child sized arms around the maid.
"Oh snow! I missed you so much"
"oh and I as well Ruby, I just don't even know how I made it without my best friend" Snow laughed teary eyed with the slightly older teen.
Ruby wiped at her eyes and handed snow the night gown and cloak. "Let me help you dress her, I've been doing it for a few months now"
Emma nodded and placed Regina gingerly onto the near by bench and watched as Ruby dressed her.
Granny walked up a moment later, a few bags in hand.
"Granny! what are all those?" Snow asked.
"this one is clothes I grabbed from Regina's room, yours and mine and Rubys. Don't worry blondy I got you some stuff too." Granny smiled, then continued, "this one has some food, water and some bandages for the trip to wherever were going"
Snow simply looked dumbfounded. "we?" was all she said.
"well you didn't think we'd let you go alone did you?" Granny almost laughed, but the situation prevented that.
When they got Regina dresses and the warm cloak wrapped around her frail shoulders they once again headed for the door. Emma carrying Regina, Snow and Ruby carrying the supplies.
"We need four horses," Emma told the stable boy and he nodded and ran off to get them.
"I don't really need a horse per say... "She sad looking up to see the full moon above. "and how are we supposed to bring Regina?" Ruby asked.
"Regina will ride with me." Emma stated matter of factly. "why wouldn't you need a horse?]="
"I am wolf." Ruby said and turned awaiting the shame.
"oh." Emma nodded and handed Regina to the teen until she mounted the horse then pulled the woman onto the horse, her legs hanging off one side, as to not put more presser where it was already wounded. She pulled the woman back so she was leaning again her own body and the brunettes head was on her shoulder.
Snow mounted her horse with a little push from the stable boy, Granny pulled herself right up with no trouble at all and Ruby started walking toward the fence.
The stable boy tied the bags to granny and snows horses and they left.

Ruby waited to transform until they were out of sight of the castle.
"I have a Carriage waiting just outside the kingdom line that Regina can rest in until we make it" Emma explained once they started moving a bit faster.
"and can you tell us now where it is that we are going?" Granny asked and Rubys wolf nodded.
"we are going to the kingdom of King Marcus and Queen Lilian. We sent word to them that we would be needing there medical assistance and hospitality. They wrote back of corse." Snow explained.
They rode threw the night and into morning by lunch time they had just about made it to the carriage. That is when Regina began to stir.
"m...n...no..." She whispered into Emma's golden locked, "s...sto...stop..." she moaned and scrunched up her eyes with ever gallop of the horse.
"oh god..."Emma whispered and slowed her steed, trying to be gentle about his steps.
Regina's face softened at this.
"w..who...?" She asked when she finally opened her eyes and found a strange woman holding her.
"I'm Emma, a friend of snows, we rescued you last night, and jailed Leopold, he will hurt you no longer" The blonde explained.
Regina furrowed her brow but just laid her head back down and shut her eyes.
"Emma why did you slow! We're nearly there!" Snow asked.
"Regina was uncomfortable with the bouncing of the beast." Emma gestured to the again sleeping woman.
"she woke up?!" Snow yelled.
"mmm- shh" Regina whispered again.
"Regina!" She yelled again, "I missed you so!"
"m..me t..to..." she mumbled. "whe..ere ... we... go...going..."
"someplace for you to get better"
"n...no ... m..more... ho..rse..." Regina almost whimpered.
"I promise we are almost there, if I go a little faster we can be there in no time" Emma whispered to the woman in her arms.
She simply nodded and closed her eyes tight.
Emma clicked he head against the horse and it sped up and they started moving once again, every few moments Regina was hiccup or whimper. In less than five minutes they made it to the white carriage. Her personal guards still waiting for them.
"John, Robin, come get the QUEEN and GENTLY place her in the carriage" Emma hinted to them quite clearly.
"Robin came over first and listen the small woman into his arms, she moaned and squirmed away from him but didn't put up a fight, while John opened the door and made a small bed, with simply a pillow and an old long coat on the seat.
"Granny, you should ride in the cabin with her, snow and I will ride and Ruby and scout the path to the castle. Robin and John will drive the cabin.
