Regina had thought a lot about this moment. She was not going to beg for life. That was not part of the plan. They would find her yell and then she would die. That was it, plain and simple. Regina would not allow herself to cry or show any sign of weakness. She wanted to be strong until the end. But she couldn't do it.
"Make sure Henry knows I love him," Regina pleaded. She was talking to no one in particular. She was just hoping by some miracle someone would be decent enough to show her mercy. She just needed one soul to tell her son how much she loved him. He had to know.
"Make sure Henry knows I never wanted anything less than the best for him," Regina continued as she was dragged outside.
"Then you should have stayed away from him bitch," Leroy spat.
"Someone please shut her up! I can't take that voice!" Red yelled with a tone of disgust.
Regina thought about how these people could hate her so much. She had been cruel but that was years ago. She has found a family now. She has finally allowed herself to love and this is where it gets her. Regina is grateful that at least Henry and Emma didn't have to see this. Regina told them it would be best if they travel away from everyone for a while. Emma thought this was odd but Regina was offering her time with Henry so she took it.
Someone came up to follow Red's orders. Before Regina knew it a hard wooden baseball bat made contact with her stomach. It literally took the wind out of her. Regina was in disbelief. The second blow was to her head. Regina didn't have time to think this time.
The town's people all fought over what to do with the unconscious Queen before them. The group as always decided Snow should lead them. Snow didn't know what to do. She needed everyone to stop telling her their torture ideas. Snow was so disgusted by their vile words almost vomit. She decided that they could form a line and do what they like to the Queen. Red wanted to yell and beat her. Graham wanted to look her in the eyes while he ripped her heart out.
The street was filled with so much yelling, so much anger.
"Of course they won't just kill me. That will be too easy. They are going to make me suffer, as I have made them suffer. It makes sense." Regina thinks to herself. She was so naïve until now.
Regina pushed her body off of the ground making feeble efforts to escape her fate. Regina almost got up on her knees before she was hit back down. Leroy grabbed her collar and through her down onto the damp pavement.
Regina looked up at the people, her people. She was suddenly taken over by strength. "I don't care. I don't care what you do to me. You can't take anything, or everything. It doesn't matter. I always thought I wasn't capable of feeling love after I was forced to marry the king but that's not true. I have Henry. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He brightens every single day. He makes me proud. He gives me this joy and I can never stop smiling when I am with him. You can kill me but you won't take my life."
