Regina was floating on the line of consciousness. She didn't know what was going on all she knew was she was in pain.
"No, please stop, Leo your hurting me," a disoriented Regina mumbled.
The crowd around Regina did not notice her plea. No one cared. The Queens subjects continued to beat their ruler. Every citizen took of years of angry out on the woman's limp body.
Snow Whites ears rug at the sound of her father's name. She had stood away from the crowd. Snow was conflicted. She wanted to cause Regina so much pain but part of her could not bring herself to hurt another human. Snow knew she must have heard Regina wrong. Her father was a very noble courageous man. He was always so sweet with his family. Snow needed to know how her precious kings' name could come up at such a violent time. Maybe Regina wanted him to protect her. She couldn't, no wouldn't face the obvious truth, even as it hit her across the face.
The knock interrupted the silence of the cold evening. Emma was holding Regina in her arms. Regina has never felt safer. The two were beside Henry watching a movie. It was a truly beautiful family moment. Another bang hit the door. Emma rolled her eyes with disgust.
"I will get it," Emma said in her pissed of tone.
Regina's stomach flipped over, knowing one of her attackers was behind the door.
"Oh my god, what part of I never want to see you again don't you understand!" Emma sternly yelled in a whisper. She did not want Regina to see who it was. She wanted to protect her from any more hurt.
"Okay Emma, I know you hate me, and you have every reason too. You need to know that I love you and I always will. I hope one day you can forgive me and we can be a family again."
Emma interrupted her mother, "There is no way in hell I will ever forgive you now please leave."
Emma's voice frightened Snow. She did not speech in angry, her voice was calm. She was too calm. Emma didn't act like she was spiting hatful phrases at her own mother. Snow swallowed her hurt and presided hoping to get what she came for.
"Even though you don't want to talk to me, is it possible that I could talk to Regina?"
Emma started laughing. She laughed so hard she almost cried. Snow just looked back at her with confusion and worry for this crazy display.
"Sorry, it's just that you are too funny. If you think that I will ever allow you near her after what you did you are sadly mistaking. Now will you please leave us alone and be a dear and go to hell?" Emma smiled and closed the door on Snows face.
As Emma turned around to go back to her family she found Regina standing directly behind her. Regina said nothing but reached over Emma and opened the door. Snow and Regina simply stared into each other's cold eyes.
