"You knew," Emma stated.
"Knew what?" Regina asked.
"You knew they were coming. You had me take Henry to protect him."
"Not just him," Regina looked into Emma's eyes. At that moment the two women felt so connected. Emma's heart skipped a beat. Regina actually wanted to protect her. Emma couldn't help but smile. Knowing Regina cared about her made the blonde extremely happy. Though out her life no one had really cared about her, now someone does.
Emma walked back down stairs after she was satisfied that Henry went to bed. She could not stop herself form remembering the night. Despite Regina's mental and physical wounds Emma felt like they had grown closer tonight. Maybe it wasn't despite her injury, maybe it was because of it. Maybe this is what they needed to bring them together. Maybe almost losing life was what they need to see what really matters.
As the sun rose lay in the middle of the sky it covered Story Brook like a warm blanket. Everyone was being to fill the streets.
"Where is she?" Red nervously asked. She was staring at the blood stained pavement, like everyone else. They had left Regina here overnight thinking she was too weak to go anywhere.
"What the hell!?" Leroy screamed, "I told you we should have locked her up! Now she is free to come kill us all and you know she will!"'
"We need to find her, she couldn't have gone far," stated a worried Snow.
The community all looked upon each others' faces. Everyone wore a look of worry. They were aware that they had pissed off the Evil Queen. Everyone thought she would kill them for sure. She was Evil what else would she do to them? No one had ever considered that Regina had any compassion. No one ever took a moment to think about how she became evil. No one ever cared to think much about her.
"We just have to find her before she finds us," David suggested.
"Come on guys let's stop wasting time and kill the bitch," Dr. Whale yells. He speaks so calmly. His tone would never show he was talking about taking someone's life. He did not give her a second thought. None of them did. None of them realized that she was a person, just like them. None of them wanted to believe it.
The gang decided to go to the mansion. No one really thought she would be stupid enough to stay at her house but maybe she left a clue as to where she would go. The magical vault was also a place of interest. The Evil Queen might be there coming up with a curse to use on them. All of them thought she would want revenge, but oddly enough they were wrong. They never thought about Regina not wanting violence.
"Looking for someone?" Regina asked as she stepped onto her porch.
