Killing Them Softly
Regina and Daniel stood at the stable entrance stunned. Their faces dropped from there happy smiles to a fear. Regina knew here mother, and what she could do with her magic, that was as bleak as her soul. Regina was worried for her and her baby's life. If her mother knew she and Daniel were running away together, her mother would use her dark magic for horrible things. However, the consequences would be greater if her mother knew about her pregnancy.
"Well? Where are you going?" Cora asked again with more anger. "You, my dear, are marrying the King, tomorrow" Cora looked at Regina's guilty face. "So, where are you going with this, stable boy?" Cora said in disgust. Regina said nothing as she didn't know where her and Daniel where headed. Cora walked towards the loving couple. She stared into Regina's eyes which gave everything away. " You where running away together." She bellowed. "How dare you?" and with a flick of her hand Daniel and Regina where flung onto the stable floor. Regina held her stomach tightly as to check her baby was ok. Daniel whispered softly into Regina's ear "Is the baby ok?" Regina nodded to reassure him. Cora picked up Daniel by the collar and lifted him into the air. Regina quickly scrambled to her feet and pleaded with her mother. "Mother. Please don't hurt him" Regina cried out, but Cora was having none of it. She pulled Daniel in close and plunged her hand into his chest. She pulled out his heart in a slow motion. Daniel fell to the floor and Regina screamed a heart shrill scream and fell beside Daniels limp body.
"This is for your on good" Cora crushed Daniels heart in her hand and it crumbled to the floor. Regina's eyes flooded with tears and they started to flow like a tsunami. Her love was dead and her baby had no father. Her whole future shattered in a few seconds right in front of her eyes. Cora walked out of the stable only turning back once to her daughter and she calmly said "See you in the morning. Your majesty." With that Cora disappeared into the dark grounds of the estate leaving Regina sobbing next to Daniels lifeless body.
