A/N, Im sorry I excidently posted a chapter from another fanfiction as chapter 3. This is the right one, I hope you like it!

Chapter 3, Regina POV

I sat down next to the bed and held her hand. I swallowed away the tears that welled up in the corner of my eyes, I had to stay strong. The girls body shivered in her dreams. "I'm sorry"I told her, even though no one could hear me. "If I had known, I would've gotten you away earlier." I heard footsteps coming closer from down the hall. a few moments later Dr. Whale came in. "Madam mayor" he greeted codly. I nodded at him in response as he walked to check on the girl. Machines beeped as he wrote down the information on his noteblock. I looked up at him. "Will she be allright?" I asked him.

"Physically, she will be perfectly fine. But we can not tell you anything about her mental state"

"Let me worry about that" I replaid rather harshly.

"She appeared to have stabbed herself multiple times with a pair of ciccors"

My eyes widened "What?"

"She tried to take her own life"

I bit my lip and looked down at the little girl in the bed. She looked tiny, fragile. One can only guess what mother would do to her and what she had done. Whatever it was it had been worse enough for her to see no way out but death. "Well I dont blame her" I said. I heard my voice had softened.

"Then who do you blame, if I may ask"

"My mother."

I stayed by the girls side for hours to follow. I couldn't leave, I had to be there when she woke up. The doctors had said it could be any second now. A movement drew my attention to the bed. The girl had been lying motionless untill now. Her body moved to the side, her face in my direction. Her eyes flickered open, the little girl gasped as her brown eyes met mine. "Don't be scared" I whispered to the girl. she didn't answered. "Do you know who I am?" I asked her for silence to follow. Why didn't this girl speak? I sighed "You can talk to me, I wont hurt you" the girl opened her mouth like she wanted to say something, but closed it again. She bit her lip and looked down. "I promise I wont hurt you. I dont hurt family" The girl looked up at me with a suprised look on her face. "Yes, I am your sister"The girl backed a way from me, a scared noice came out of her troath. "Hey, what's wrong?" I asked. She didn't answer. I reached out for the scared girl and gently laid my hand on her shoulder. Her body froze under my touch and the girl gasped slightly. I looked into her eyes "I promise no one will ever hurt you again, Dakota"I said softly. That seemed to calm the girl down and she nodded.
