"Stop! Please stop!" Regina pleaded, "Haven't we hurt each other enough?"
They didn't stop. Maybe they didn't hear her, but maybe they just didn't care.
Emma was woken up by Regina's cries. Emma was expecting Regina to have nightmares again and was just waiting to go upstairs and comfort the other woman. I could hear Regina thrashing around and pleading, she knew what she was thinking about. Emma could not get the image of a hurt dying Regina out of her head. She could not comprehend how her "friends" viciously broke the strong woman.
Emma opened Regina's bedroom door and rushed to the sleeping woman. She grabbed Regina and held her in her arms.
"It's okay honey, you're safe now," Emma whispered in the brunettes ear.
Regina held onto the other woman with a strong grasp. Regina felt so safe in Emma's arms.
"I'm sorry, I just want to be okay," Regina told Emma.
"Don't apologize, I'm here for you. I will always be here."
Regina had her head resting on Emma chest. The two lay across Regina's bed in each others' arms. Regina soon fell asleep and Emma followed her. Neither of them had ever slept better. Just being near each other was the best feeling in the world.
"Why was Emma there?" Grumpy asked. "What the hell did the Evil Queen do to her?"
"Do you think she was brainwashed?" Dr. Whale added.
"Well I think she was there because she wanted to be," Granny said. Granny was not surprised that Emma came to Regina's rescue. She always knew they shared something; something special.
Everyone looked at Granny and gave her a weird look. They were all confused. It never crossed any of their minds that someone could love Regina, the Evil Queen.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Red asked.
"You know the way they look at each other; it just doesn't surprise me Emma came to her rescue,"
The dinner was quiet for a moment. Everyone had a face that shone a mix of confusion and disgust. They could not picture the Queen happy and especially not with Emma. Emma was the savior. She was supposed to get rid of the Evil Queen. Little did they know that Emma did get rid of what was left of the Evil Queen. When Regina was with Emma she was only Regina. There was no evil left in her.
"Umm okay anyway I think we need to get Emma out of there," said Red changing the subject.
Grumpy moan, "She doesn't need our help, she is with the enemy."
"Come one guys she is our savior, it's time we return the favor."
