His other arm was being used as her pillow. Her eyes stared at his neck. Okay, how in the hells did this happen?
"Robin?" she asked a bit nervous and quite annoyed.
He groaned and pulled her closer.
"Robin!"
This finally startled him awake. "Oh, sorry. I don't usually fall asleep when this happens."
"When what happens?" she asked as she gently pulled away from him as much as she could. She propped her arm up, tilting her head to the left and resting her face on her palm.
"You have constant nightmares but you seem to calm down when I hold you."
"I do? You stay with me?"
He looked into her eyes. "Yes. I can't seem to stop myself from helping you."
"I'm not some damsel in distress. Maybe that's your thing - "
She stiffened as he pulled a leaf out of her hair. " I know you are not and it's not my thing."
She crinkled her nose. "It really is though."
"I didn't want you to hurt your leg any further!"
"Well once we get to the lake that won't be a problem anymore. The sooner we get there the better."
"I can still get the wagon."
"No thank you."
Robin got up and prepared for their trip. Slowly he help Regina on his horse and then got on himself. He planned to come back for the other horse on their way home. It took them the rest of the day to reach the lake's location.
He carried her through the forest and past a shrine. He looked at her to explain it, but she looked just as clueless. Finally they reached the lake and he helped her sit by the edge of it. Regina reached her hand into the water and felt a shiver go down her spine. She immediately began to feel this was a mistake.
"Something's off here. Something's going on here." Regina said.
Before Robin could lift her up a woman started coming out of the water. Regina recognized the silhouette.
"Sirens. This lake is protected by sirens." Regina groaned.
Robin rubbed his forehead. He knew this was a bad idea. As the siren made it's way towards them he stepped in front of Regina to protect her.
"What's your name? Would you like to know mine?" the siren said in a sweet soft voice.
Robin stayed on guard as they now stood face to face. The siren continued, unafraid. "Because I can be anyone you want me to be."
"Sirens lure men to their deaths with words and manipulation." Regina informed Robin.
The siren briefly turned her attention to Regina. "If that was even true how would that make me any different than what you or the Dark One do. Hypocritical words, your Highness." She focused her attention back on Robin. "This man here is noble and good, such a rare quality in these times. The power of good is strong in this one, why would I want to destroy that?"
The siren leaned closer till her mouth nearly touched Robin's. "I can think of much more fun things to do."
Robin wasn't falling for it. "Not going to happen."
The siren pulled back and poured water over her. "We shall see." The siren's arms covered her face and when it was finally revealed again it was no longer the siren's face - but Regina's.
Robin looked at the real Regina and then the fake one. What sort of dark magic and trickery was this?!
"They have the ability to turn into what your heart desires the most." Regina informed. "Awkward, isn't it?"
Robin rolled his eyes. "It's not going to work." He told the siren.
The siren didn't change back but stayed as Regina. "But think of how much easier this would be." She caressed his face gently. "You can have what you want without the consequences. No husband to get in the way. You would be my husband." The siren rested her forehead against his. "You know you want to taste me. I've gotten under your skin."
She rested his hands on her hips. "You can have what is being denied to you. Your reward for being such a great man. You've earned it."
He struggled greatly to resist, but the allure of her magic was becoming too strong.
"You just simply have to kiss me. You know you want me. Pixie dust never fails. You know this. You can feel it in your skin."
Regina tried talking to him but it fell on deaf ears. He was too captivated by the lust in the siren's eyes, Regina's eyes. "Not real." he groaned.
"Better than real. Besides you know I want you to. You're my happiness and you do want me to be happy, don't you? Then make love to me." her eyes pleaded for him to say yes.
And with that he was a goner. He kissed her hard and tasted her, finally tasting her. Enjoying every minute and ever touch. Savoring his lips on hers.
"Wanted this...since we met..I...admit..." His teeth nipped at her lower lip tasting salty sweet. He could faintly hear his name being called as he was being led into the water. Then all of a sudden he was being jerked away. He fell backwards into the water as he watched the real Regina throw a fireball at the siren version of her. The siren screamed as shburned and her ashes spread across the lake.
Regina pulled Robin out of the lake and they both laid on the ground.
"I bloody hate magic!" Robin yelled.
"Well that sure as hells didn't look the case when you were making out with it!" she retorted.
Robin looked away from her, embarrassed.
Regina looked back at the lake. " I hope you like your fish well done."
He couldn't help but laugh at her joke, no matter how much it was done in bad taste. He licked his lips, the siren's taste still on them.
It was then he realized she did all this in seemingly no pain. "Your leg?"
"I drank the water while you were - busy."
Robin blushed profusely, knowing she meant while he was he was making out with the siren version of her.
They stared awkwardly at each other before Regina's stomach growled. "We better start our journey back to your camp."
Robin nodded in agreement. "I want to get as far away from here as possible."
"Looks like we finally agree on something." Regina smirked and the headed off, both vowing to themselves never to come back there again.
