Gold knows some random crap as always..
"Where are we now?" She sighed, slumping against the stable door.
"A stable, dear." She knew what stable and where but she also knew that Emma was smart enough to figure that part out, and snarky comments were better than elaborating on her pain.
The riding saddle that had held the ring daniel had given her was still slumped against the wood.
This was going to be too hard to get through without bursting out into tears.
"Hey, We can leave, it's your dream, so can't you just change it?" Well, that was one of the most idiotic questions asked by her family.
"No, dear it's not that.." Actually, dreamwalkers could manipulate their dreams so they could find each other, that meant that this wasn't them dreamwalking, Gold- the asshole- had been right but what were they doing? Was it more treacherous than dreamwalking?
"You have an idea?" Emma was so bright and hopeful and god why couldn't they just leave this place.
"Were not dreamwalking." It was a statement that pushed Emma back, her happy and hopeful face fell, and so did her happy and hopeful stance, she worriedly grasped Regina, trying to see what made her more solemn.
"What are we doing then, how bad is it?" She shook her head, she didn't understand. Neither of them did. Why were the only places they visited belonging to their past loves..
Gold.
That.
Freaking.
ASS.
"We have to leave." Emma finally pulled Regina to her and her grip fell as she saw the fear and determination in her eyes.
"What?" She shook her head and pulled Emma through the stable door and kept walking over the green grass and the land that stretched on forever.
"Gold. We need to talk to Gold." How was she supposed to tell Emma this? Who had cursed them? Why would someone curse Emma to the pain of this realm? I mean, cursing the Evil Queen is fine, she didn't care anymore, people hated her and she acknowledged that. Once she basked in the glory of it and used it to her advantage. But Emma? She was their saviour! They all looked up to her, why would someone curse her Emma.
Her emma.
That was something she could definitely get used to. It was the tugging of Regina's arm that got her attention, and then it was the fear on Emma's face that struck the emotion right back onto her own
"What's happened?" Emma's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, what was Regina on?
"Uh, I don't know how do you plan on leaving this place? Why do we have to leave? What's Gold done now?" Emma, her face slightly crumpled in her confusion looked… adorable.
Evil Queens do not think of things as adorable.
Insufferable runaway princesses who galavant in the woods singing to their animal friends and dreaming of happiness found things adorable.
Maybe those princess' daughters could be considered.. Endearing. At the very least.
"Emma, I know you understand what this place means to me, but you don't know what this place means. It's not something we should be dealing with on our own. I think we've been cursed to a fate… a fate we cannot fathom right now, gold may know what has happened, and to leave…"
Words of magic were something difficult to explain to Emma, how do you tell them they had to be cursed to remember their… their. God she didn't even know herself.
"I left fleeing on a horse, the way I came, I also left because you pulled me into that last dream Emma, so you accepted why we were here and pushed me away from it, without intending to. We got here because we fell asleep together, but how did we get into this dream? I only really woke up lying here with you waking next to me, so we have to sleep." Emma nodded and lay down next to Regina, the stable in sight below her feet. This was hurting Regina awfully and the pain she felt was somehow affecting her, she felt it and she saw it on Regina's face, a small faint pain she wanted to rid from her forever.
"Does this curse, make me feel you?" Her words were soft, almost fearful, and Regina understood what they meant but couldn't figure out what she meant.
"What do you mean feel me?" Emma took both her hands in hers.
"Is it the curse's doing that I feel what you feel, in myself. The… pain." And the last word she spoke softly before placing a faint kiss to the hands she held so tightly in her own.
"No, I don't think so. I know you, Emma, and you know me. And I thought it was the connection we shared from the dreamwalking but-" Damn Emma. Why did explaining these simple things make them more complicated.
"Sleep. We need to talk to Gold." She lifted a hand to trace her fingers through the hair that was lying atop an already sleepy saviour, a woman who was drifting away by her side, and though she couldn't notice it she was falling with this woman, falling for her and falling into sleep together.
"Hey." Emma's face was flooding with relief as she looked down at Regina.
"Hey." She whispered back softly, letting her hand resume its place in her hair as it had been before they fell asleep. "What time is it?" She needed to speak with Gold, he let on more than he was seemingly telling either of them.
"Um. like twelve. Do you need to rest longer though? You've been out awhile." Crap how long had she been sleeping for?
"No, I'm fine dear, we just need to go talk to gold, I'll go get ready and then we'll go. He knows something and by now he'll know what he wants from us in order to tell us like the scheming imp he is."
"What do you know, Gold."
"I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about dearie."
"You know something. Are we cursed? Did you help someone? Who want to curse Emma aswell as myself?"
Gold held a hand up to silence the former Queen.
"Enough. I know what the connection is you share- and don't try to deny it dearie I can feel the strong magic at play here- And I haven't cursed you, no-one has. Someone Else needs you both to understand each other, to realise what has happened, or rather what will happen, and they're pulling you to each other's thoughts. To your deepest parts of yourselves and forcing you to know each other. Forcing you to feel."
"Well, who did you assist in forcing us into this. I don't like this Gold and you know what I'm capable of. Tell me who it is and I can destroy them."
Emma watched the exchange aghast. Someone was wanting this? Someone was forcing the both of them to open up old wounds? This was cruel, awful.
"Dear I assure you that you will not want to destroy who did this. They're doing it to protect their future. You're future."
Regina conjured a fireball in her hand like the day at the well, and Emma instantly and without thinking pulled on the arm radiating heat and anger and could feel her magic pulling away Regina's frustration from her, at her questioning glare she gave a swift nod letting her know she was here, and it was all okay.
"Why should I care what they're protecting, this person obviously feels nothing for me if they're forcing me to feel pain. Now, Who. Did. This."
Gold laughed at that.
God that was a scary as shit laugh.
And it was terrifying and awful and both women were glad it was over.
"Dearie they aren't even existing yet. They're strong and powerful and reaching back through the veils of time because they can't exist if this doesn't happen."
"Stop speaking your riddles gold, tell me what the hell is going on. How do we stop the dream thing."
"No, I want to hear about this sorceror, nobody has breached the laws of time, why is this so important?"
And he sighed, at their stupidity, and every one of them felt the anger flare up in the room at is. And all of them felt Emma and Regina's magic pull at it and lock it away, pushing it down was one thing but vanquishing it was another.
"You are bound by strong magic, you will be bound by strong magic, you always have been, because storybrooke didn't have any at the time of Miss Swan's arrival, it drove you to think you hated each other, but quite the opposite dears, now this sorceress, doesn't know what she's doing, but it's working, the dreams won't stop until she is conceived and each of your pain has been banished by the other. That is how you stop it. Now I have business to attend to so if you will-" And he was interrupted by a wave of his hands and both ladies being left dumbfounded in Regina's hall.
Very dumbfounded indeed.
Quite the opposite dears.
Screw gold.
AAAAAHHH! It's short but good, no?
I enjoyed it, and I like gold, he's an ass and it's awesome. X
Review? ;)
