Taken-

"Yeah! Girls night out in Paris!" Kathryn shouted happily as she tossed her bags down and turned to face the dark haired woman entering the room behind her. "Regina this week is going to be great! I can't believe we are finally doing this!" She beamed and ran over grabbing the bags from Regina's hands and tossing them down beside her own. "I mean Paris today and who knows where tomorrow! We could travel all over Europe and become cultured!" The blonde said with a wink that caused Regina to roll her eyes.

"Are you sure Fredrick would approve?" The dark haired woman teased.

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him." Kathryn smirked and turned, trotting over to the I-home on the counter and popping her I-pod onto the stand. "Come on! Let's celebrate!" She squealed and turned on the loud music, immediately beginning to dance around.

Regina chuckled and shook her head at her friend's teenager like antics. "I'll celebrate with you in a minute, I just need to call Emma and let her know that we got here safely." She shouted over the music.

"Fine, go call you overprotective wife. Tell her I say hi!" Kathryn yelled with a smile before continuing to dance around ungracefully.

Regina laughed and pulled out her cell phone. Wondering out of the living room and through the halls of the house she waited until she was in a relatively quieter room before pressing the contact labeled 'Emma' and putting the phone to her ear. It took only one ring before she heard her wife answer.

"Hello, Regina?" The blonde asked as she got up from the old gray chair that she had been sitting in as she ate Chinese take-out.

"Hey Emma, yeah it's me." Regina greeted with a smile as she walked around the empty room she was standing in. "I was just calling to let you know that Kathryn and I got to Paris safely and we are at the house."

Emma let out a relieved breath of air and smiled, "Alright good, I'm glad you got there safely. How was the flight?" She inquired, wanting to keep her wife's voice on the phone.

"It was long, Kathryn kept on hitting on every guy who walked by." Regina replied with a light laugh. "You might have to warn Fredrick that his wife is going to have to be dragged back home. She really seems to be embracing this girl's week abroad." She said as she pushed a lock of hair behind her ear.

"I will." Emma laughed and couldn't help but feel stressed over not being able to be close enough to help her wife if something happened. "You two are being safe right? You're not taking any unnecessary risks?"

Regina sighed and rolled her eyes; leave it to Emma to start hounding her on safety protocols. "Yes Emma we are. We checked that we had everything at the airport, we…" She paused realizing that she might not want to tell her wife that she shared a taxi with a stranger coming from the airport.

"You what?" Emma asked knowing that her wife wasn't telling her something.

"It's nothing Emma." Regina insisted.

"What is it?" The blonde demanded.

"We just shared a cab with some guy we met at the airport. It was nothing, he was a complete gentleman. He even invited us to a party tonight but I declined." Regina admitted. "Don't worry it was nothing major." She assured, wanting to calm her wife.

"You didn't give him any information right? Did he get out of the cab before or after you? Have you locked the doors?" Emma fired off the questions at a rapid pace barely taking time to breathe.

"No we didn't give him any information. We got out of the cab before him. And yes, I locked the doors." Regina answered with a sigh, rubbing her forehead at the questions. The dark haired woman then looked up through the window that gave a view to the other side of the house where Kathryn was still jumping around dancing. Her whiskey brown eyes widened when she saw movement through the window at the front entry way of the house. Her eyes widened and she inhaled sharply.

"Regina! What! What is it? What's wrong?" Emma demanded when she heard her wife inhale sharply at the other end of the phone.

"There's someone here." Regina replied in a shaky voice as she watched the dark figures move through the house.

"What!" Emma gasped and held the phone closer to her ear.

Regina's eyes widened in horror as she watched the figures come up behind Kathryn and grab the blonde, picking her up and carrying her away as she struggled. "Oh my god! They got Kathryn!" She gasped with fear evident in her voice. She backed away from the window and saw several of the men moving to search the house. "Emma, they're coming." She whimpered.

Emma felt her heart rate increase as her mind jumped into action on how to deal with the situation, she went to the closet and grabbed a hard black briefcase. Keeping her voice as calm as possible even though she was terrified for her wife she said, "Alright listen to me, go into the next bedroom and hide under the bed. Tell me when you're there." She instructed as she moved to her desk placing the briefcase on it and opening it up. She grabbed a small speaker system and plugged it into her phone, placing the device on the desk in front of her.

Regina turned and as quietly as she could, quickly she moved into the next bedroom. She was terrified and trying to hold back tears, covering her mouth to muffle as sob, wishing Emma was with her to protect her. She slid under the bed and tried to move as far under it as she could. "I'm here." She whispered.

Emma took a breath as she sat in front of the phone trying to remain calm and collected. "Now this next part is very important Regina." She stated and closed her eyes, her head bowed slightly as she licked her lips hating what she was about to say. "They are going to take you."

Regina heard Emma's words and her heart dropped. "No." She gasped tearfully into the phone.

"Regina, stay focused babe, this is critical." Emma interrupted quickly, hating that she couldn't comfort her terrified wife. "You are going to have five maybe ten seconds, very important seconds." She paused hearing her wife's muffled sob. "Leave the phone on the floor, focus and yell out everything you see about them. Height, weight, hair color, skin color, any identifying markings. Regina, do you understand?" She addressed firmly.

"Yes." Regina whimpered as she tried to keep her crying quiet, fear rushing through every ounce of her being. She gasped in terror as she heard footsteps entering the hallway outside the room she was hiding in. "Em." She cried softly but desperately.

"They're there, I can hear them." Emma confirmed as she gripped her hands together tightly. "Remember Regina, focus." She drilled.

Regina lifted her head slightly as she heard them right outside the door. She held her breath when they entered, their black shoes moving around the room and opening doors, clearly searching for her. Out of instinct she closed her eyes in fear, wishing to be somewhere else, anywhere else. Then they started talking, she opened her eyes knowing she had to stay focused.

Emma heard muffled voices on Regina's end and calmly instructed, "Put the phone closer so I can listen."

Regina made a soft almost mute sob and did as Emma instructed. Slowly and quietly she shifted her hand with the phone closer to a pair of black shoes standing beside the bed.

Emma listened intently at the silence, then suddenly she heard the voices of one of the men searching for her wife. He was speaking a different language and instantly the blonde began going through her mental linguistics files, Albanian. She recognized it almost instantly.

Regina watched the pairs of shoes and listened to the gibberish the men in the room were speaking in. Suddenly the men were turning and leaving the room, Regina's tear filled eyes watched their black shoes disappear and felt a flutter of hope that they had given up their search for her. Pulling her phone back to her ear she inhaled quickly and whispered to Emma, "They're leaving. I think they're go-" The dark haired woman was cut off when she felt someone grip onto her ankles and pulled her backwards out from under the bed. "EMMAAAA!" She screamed as she clawed at the floor, dropping her phone under the bed.

Emma flinched her heart stopping as she heard her wife's terrified shriek for her. She forced herself to sit still and look at the wall in front of her as she heard Regina screaming and crying, the sounds of her wife struggling against her abductor. "NOOOOOO!" Emma heard Regina cry out her voice filled with fear. Then Emma heard Regina's voice scream out, "BEARD! SIX FEET! BLUE EYES! NO! STOP! STOP! NO! NOOOO!" Emma felt her blood run cold as she heard Regina's screaming become muffled, her fists clenched as she pictured her innocent wife fighting for her life against a ruthless man who dared to lay a finger on her. She could hear Regina's muffled cry of her name as the sound of the dark haired woman being carried away rang through the phone. Then there was silence. Emma took several deep breaths and continued to listen, she sat up straighter as she heard the sound of someone under the bed grabbing her wife's phone and breathing into it.

Picking up her own phone and putting it to her ear Emma continued to look dead set at the wall as she unplugged the phone from the speakers. Taking a controlled breath Emma closed her eyes and and stood up, when they opened the emerald orbs burned with deadly determination and she spoke into the phone with a controlled yet still terrifyingly menacing tone. "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have any money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me the thing of nightmares for people like you. If you let my wife go now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, it will be forgotten." Emma paused and let all her hate and anger seep into her voice. "But if you don't, I will not rest, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." She finished and waited attentively.

There was a steady breathing over the phone that lasted several agonizing seconds. Emma waited with the phone gripped tightly in her hand. Suddenly the breathing changed and Emma knew the bastard on the other end was about to speak. Listening carefully Emma heard a thick accented voice say, "Good luck." Before the line went dead.

A/N: Okay, so here is another little Swan Queen scene. I thought this was perfect for them and was honestly surprised that no one has done a fanfic with them in this situation before. I mean Emma would so totally kick butt to get her Regina back. Let me know what you think and if you have prompts let me know and I'll try and do them. I don't own Once or any of these movies or TV shows. Please comment and review! Love you all!
