*****Chapter 5*****
Red stood in the dining room of the cabin she had lived with Emma. She looked around at her surroundings; happy memories filled the entire place. The tears started to fall again; she tried to push them away she had to be strong for Henry, James-and for Emma. Looking over towards the door that leads to Henry's room, she made her way peering through the crack of the door. Henry was curled up into a small ball in the middle of his bed. He had his Mother's black calfskin jacket gripped tight in his little arms.
She would fix this however she just did know how just yet. She moved to the next room where James laid in bed the wound on his shoulder would need to heal before they could do anything. She just prayed to the Gods that the Queen's men would not return. She walked her sore tired body to their bedroom, laying down on Emma's side she curled up on her pillow letting her tears over take her, her grief could not be contained. She fell in a dreamless sleep as exhaustion took over.
The Blue Fairy made her way into the sleeping household, and into young Henry's room. She watched him as he slept, moving closer she called out his name.
"Henry...Young Henry..." she called in a soft voice. He slowly stirred looking up towards the Fairy.
"Hello, my child." she said softly as he blinked his eyes a few times. "Sit up, young one." She gentle ordered.
"Who are you?" Henry asked as he pulled his little body into the upright position, his eyes full of wonder.
"I am The Blue Fairy, I am here to help young one"
"Are you going to bring my Mama back?" he asked excitedly.
"Yes Dear one, but not just yet. First I need to help her and I can do this with your help." she said softly as she flew closer to him. Her blue sparkly wings shined bright in the room casting a small glow.
"Yes, I can help!" he exclaimed. He always loved to help, especially his Mama.
"I need a strand of your hair child."
"My hair?" he asked as his face contorted in confusion.
She smiled at his little confused face, "Yes, one small strand my dear."
"Okay!" he said standing up.
Taking her wand she waved it over as a small light brown strand fell, she picked it up putting it into a vile she held in her other hand, "Now young Henry you must remember your Mama loves you and I will help you and her find your happy ending." she said softly, hoping he understood.
"I know my Mama loves me, and so does my Mommy and Grandpa!" he said.
This took her by surprise how did this boy know his other Mother?
"Your Mommy?" she asked.
"Yes Red! She is my Mommy too!"
"Oh my dear boy, I'm sure Red love you a lot, but Henry she is not your Mommy but don't worry you will meet her very soon." she said in a sad voice. She could see how much this child was like Emma at his age. It warmed her heart.
"My real Mommy?" he asked softly. His small hazel eyes growing big with excitement.
"Yes, but Henry you must not tell anyone. Okay?" she said softly.
"Like a secret? He asked.
"Yes!" she said laughing lightly.
"Okay! I won't tell anyone," he vowed.
"Good, now lay down and get some sleep, soon you will see your parents," she promised softly.
He eagerly laid down pulling her Mother's jacket close again as she covered him. He closed his eyes quickly drifting to sleep. She watched him sleep for a few moments before she left. She knew his happy ending wasn't too far now.
*****SQSQSQSQSQ******
Blue flew towards the castle; just outside lay the campground where Emma was being held. She made her way inside to the small medical area where Emma was being held. Next to her was a black-haired woman, watching over her silently. The healers quickly moved around the woman working on her broken body. Blue shifted into her human form, and dressed as a healer making sure to look as plain as possible. She made her way into the room, tears threatening to fall from her eyes as she looked at Emma's bloody broken body. She was laying on her side with only a small sheet to cover her private areas.
"Who are you," asked a small woman
"I was sent to help with this young one, she is in much worse condition than the rest," she gave vaguely.
"Okay, lift the sheet please. We must work on her brand, when she blacked out and fell to the floor dirt entered the mark. We must clean it and help it heal properly so that infection does not set in." the small woman said
Blue simply nodded as she did what she was told. The mark was a crown with wings of a bird. 'Why would the Queen choose this mark?' she thought to herself as she watched the woman pour water and herbs over the blood crusted wound.
"Hold her," the small woman ordered.
Slowly the burn mark began to bleed red blood, they wiped away the excess that fell. Covering the mark with a cotton cloth. They slowly wrapped the woman's ribs with the help of Mulan and the rest of the healers. Emma was laid on her back, still clearly passed out from all the pain. The healers left one by one. Leaving only Blue and Mulan in the room.
"What is your name young one?" Blue asked as she turned to the woman next to Emma.
"I am Mulan, What are you called?" she asked the older woman.
"I am Blue." she said
"Blue?" Mulan asked in question.
Blue looked at the other woman, peering into her heart. She liked what she saw, white light was present in the middle of the woman's heart. That was good, that meant she could be trusted. So Blue took a deep breath and began to speak, "I am the Blue Fairy, I am here to help Emma. She is the savior of us all."
"The Blue Fairy!? Where have you been? All this time? My people have been dying, magical creatures have been dying and you decided to just help now?!" She said in a harsh whisper.
"I could not interfere with prophecy," the woman looked down at Emma and began to pet her hair softly, taking a strand of hair from her.
"Prophecy?" Mulan questioned.
"Yes, and I can not say more, but I am here to help Emma and her True Love." She said as she took out her wand. With a simple wave, she healed all of Emma's wounds. Angry purple bruises became milky white skin once again. Mulan let out a sigh of relief to see her friend healed.
"Thank you." she said softly to Blue.
"I am here to help them get her happy ending like they should have had before it all went so wrong." Blue said cryptically.
"Then I will help too. My sword is yours to command" she vowed gently.
"Thank you young warrior, we will need it." Blue said firmly as Emma began to stir.
Emma let out a soft moan as she woke up, looking around the room taking in her surroundings as she turned onto her back. "Where am I?" Emma asked softly. Looking down at her body seeing the small sheet covering her. Her body felt amazing! She could breathe and move freely.
"A Healer's Hut," Mulan said as smiled at her friend.
Emma looked up at the two women one she knew, but the other she could not place even though she seemed familiar. Emma sat up a bit; she then felt a pull on her lower back. She hissed in pain, as she remembered the mark, the burn, the brand that was placed onto her lower back. Her mark.
"Why didn't the mark heal too?" Mulan asked the woman next to her.
"I'm not sure."
"What is going on? Who are you?" Emma asked the other woman.
"I am a friend, and here to help." Blue said, "That is all you need to know for now. I have healed you, but it seems I was not able to heal the mark of the Queen."
"So it does seem...Thank you" Emma said pulling the cover over her chest to hide her body.
She waved her wand again as bruises appeared on her body, all in different stages of healing. "So no one will be suspicious, we do not want to draw attention."
"Thank you. What is your name?"
"Call me Blue" Blue said to the woman. " I must go, Mulan will help you dress. Stay strong Emma." she said as she walked out of the room. There were many things that needed to be done.
"Let's get you dressed Emma," Mulan says as she picks up the small shift and armor that is similar to what she is dressed in. "You have been out for a few days, in the camp we are free to move around, but I have learned you never want to be caught alone with one of the guards." Mulan said with a dark look on her face as she continued to explain everything she learned in the last few days. "We eat at dawn, high noon and sometimes dusk. If we are good, or no problem arises they leave us alone. We have a training ground where you can learn new moves. Everyone is ranked by colors red being the highest yellow being the worst." Emma looks over to see a red cloth tied around the women's bicep. As Emma puts on the short shift as Mulan helps with the breastplate tying it into place.
"We sleep in small cells that are left open, so we can go and come as we please, however outside the grounds we are cuffed." she says grimly. "The worst of all the guards is General Graham, he is a vile creature. Stay away from him if you can." Emma listens to the woman as she puts on her leather trousers tying the front closed. Looking down she looked at her armor, with only a small breast plate that reaches down to her belly button, her back is chain mail that she knows will do little to protect her body. Her mark is visibly seen, not covered by any of the clothing.
"So we are free slaves in the camp only?" she asks sarcastically.
Mulan laughs shaking her head in an affirmative notion. "Yes my dear friend that would be correct."
After helping Emma get dressed they walk around the camp, Mulan shows her where everything is as well as the cell she has chosen for them to share. Two small cots and a small desk are the only things in the bare room. The floor is made of hard dirt and patches of grass that still try to grow in the dark room. The walls were made of stone covered in dirt and blood.
They make their way to the meal area where they take a seat on wooden seats. With their meal in hand they eat. Emma feels famished as she eats the small portions given to her by an overweight cook named Milly. Her cheery disposition leaves Emma confused as to how someone can be so cheerful in that dreadful place. They finish their meal and head to the cell, which has now been deemed theirs. They both lay down on their hard cots and cover themselves with small scratchy blankets, after they remove the steel from their bodies. Emma looks off into space, she peers out the small window seeing the full moon shone high in the sky and thinks of Red and her Son. She wonders if her family is okay. Her Father is a strong man, she know he will be okay. She closes her eyes and as soon as she does she sees the sweet honey brown eyes she used to love to get lost in. Her mind drifts away to a time where she was truly happy.
*****FlashBack*****
(Suggested listening: A thousand years by Christina Perri)
She laid back on soft green grass, watching the clouds pass by. Regina was resting her head on Emma's shoulder with the blonde's arm wrapped tightly around her. They both were silent, enjoying being held by each other. They had been seeing each other for the last few weeks and they loved every minute they spent together. Every day they would see each other meeting at the river they first met at. It was their place. Emma didn't know this happiness could even be possible.
They had shared several kisses, hugs and even a little touching, but never had gone all the way. Either one would pull back, wanting to wait. They wanted to make it special. They needed it to be perfect. In a way it had seemed they were moving so fast, but it was too slow. Neither had spoken about their feelings each afraid to scare the other off.
She reached down and kissed the side of Regina's head. The dark-haired woman gave a small hum of approval as she snuggled closer into Emma. With a quick move, she moved her legs and hips as she straddled the blonde woman. A smile broke across Emma's face as the woman she cared for perched on top of her. Regina quickly gave the woman a bright brilliant smile. She leaned down and captured the younger woman's lips in a soft kiss. Emma's hands quickly moved to her lower back squeezing it as she pulled the woman closer to her bring her flush with her.
"Emma..." Regina whispered softly against her lips as she broke the kiss. Her heart swelled with emotion and she locked eyes with the other woman.
"Yes darling?" Emma asked in a soft whisper to match Regina's.
"Emma...I...I...Love you..."Regina said as emotions filled her soft voice.
A large bright smile broke across Emma's face as she pulled Regina into a toe-curling kiss. Her tongue swiped across the brunette's lower lip demanding entrance to her mouth. Regina let out a soft moan as she opened her lips giving Emma access. Her tongue snaked out to reach Emma's as they twirled and twisted their tongues around the others in a lover's duel. Emma let a moan escape her throat as she pulled Regina closer by her hips rising automatically to press into the hot core of the woman above her.
They broke apart both panting; Regina gave a low moan as she pressed back down into Emma arousal shooting through her core up into her belly. Both women were panting hard as their need for each other grew.
Emma closed her eyes for a moment trying to still her hormones as she opened them she locked eyes with Regina's. "I love you, Regina Mills." she said softly as she lost herself in honey brown eyes. "I always have, I always will" she vowed.
"Oh...Emma," Regina said softly as she felt her heart swell. Part of her was afraid her heart would burst, shatter in her chest. It would be worth it as long as she had this woman with her.
They kissed again, but this time their kiss was a promise of love. They moved slowly against each other, rubbing their bodies together. Emma moved her hand to cup Regina's breast over her shirt. She squeezed the woman's breast softly electing a low heavy moan from the woman above her. Emma grinned into the kiss as she heard the moan escape deep red lips. They slowly broke apart, Emma began to kiss down the brunette's jaw, reaching her ear she gently sucked on it.
"Emma...My Love" Regina moaned softly as she moved her head to the side giving Emma better access.
"You are so beautiful" Emma says quickly before going back to work kissing and sucking on Regina's neck.
"Oh!" Regina squeaks as Emma bites down on her collarbone. "Mmmm... Oh...Em..ma," she lets out as she feels Emma pull her top open. The cool air around them makes Regina's hard nipples even harder.
Emma sits up a bit to have better access to the tanned flesh of the woman she loves. They have never gone this far. Emma's hungry eyes map Regina's tanned breasts. Looking up into dark eyes, Regina sees Emma's eyes dilate in arousal. She swallows heavily as she feels her mouth go dry by the look of hunger on Emma's face. Regina reaches down and picks up Emma's hands guiding her to her breasts giving her permission to touch. Emma cups both breasts in her hands and she cannot believe how soft and silky Regina feels. With one last look into the brunette's eyes she leans forward and captures one of Regina's hard nipples into her hot open mouth.
Regina moans loudly as she feels her passion for the woman soar high. She reaches up, tangling her fingers into blonde locks as she pulls Emma into her breasts. Her hips rock forward into Emma, while Emma rocks back. They both can't seem to stop their bodies. Emma moves from breast to breast sucking, kissing, and nipping softly. She can hear Regain moan loudly and it spurs her on. She wraps one arm around Regina waist pulling her closer. They kiss again the dark haired woman's hard sensitive nipples rub against Emma's tunic and vest.
They are both breathing heavily as they rock together as one. As Emma breaks the kiss she, reaches down to undo the knot at Regina's hips. She is stopped by a slightly shaking hand, looking up into brown eyes she knows its not time yet. She smiles giving a small nod them moves her attention back to Regina's breasts.
"Oh.. Emma, Yes!" Regina moans as she rocks her core against Emma's, her clit is getting the right amount of pressure that she needs to come. But she wants Emma to come with her. She moves her hand inside Emma's shirt and begins to play with her nipples; rolling the hard nubs with her fingers.
"Oh...Gina!" Emma moans as soon as she feels the brunettes warm soft hands touching her hard nipples. Her body flushed with wet heat as their movements become more desperate.
They kiss again and it seems that's all it takes as Emma feels warm hot pleasure shoot through her core as she comes undone screaming Regina's name. Regina is right behind her as her body stiffens as she screams Emma's name loudly for all the forest to hear. They both slow their hips to a stop, Regina slowly moves off Emma as she curls up into the woman's strong arms. They both sigh happily in unison.
"I love you." Regina says as she kisses Emma's cheek.
"I love you, Gina" Emma says as she pulls the woman closer into her arms turning her so that they are on their side spooning. They both drift into a light sleep feeling so happy and complete.
