Emma runs up the stairs, the first thing she sees is the front door. A thought passes threw her mind to run to it, to see if she could get out, she knows she can't. She runs up the stairs and into her room. She runs to the bed and lays face down on it. It's just as she remembered. Exactly the same. Even her school skirt is still thrown upon the floor. She remembered when she liked spankings from Regina. She didn't like this one. The sting reminded her of how painful it was. She was also embarrassed, and poor Mary Margaret. Emma didn't know if she should be happy to be back or not. Oh, and poor Mary Margaret.

Emma thoughts are interrupted by a knock on her door. She turns around and Regina is standing there. "May I come in?" She asks as if Mary Margaret was not downstairs and as if she did not just give Emma the most painful spanking she had ever received. Needless to say, the question confused Emma but she nodded her head anyway, make no move to get up.

Regina walked over to Emma's bed and sat down beside her. Regina ran her fingers threw Emma's hair. Emma couldn't help but lean into the touch and Regina smiled sadly. "I'm sorry Emma, but I had to do that" Regina states.

Emma looks into her eyes. "You hurt me" She whispered.

"Spanking are supposed to hurt" Regina nodded in agreement.

"No...yeah, the spanking hurt, but I wasn't talking about that. I'm talking about when you told me to leave. You promised me you wouldn't send me away, and then you did. You...you broke my heart" Emma stated. "I don't know if...I don't know if I can forgive you...if I can trust you like I did" Emma looked away from Regina and at her dresser.

"I've explained that to you Emma" Regina states, a little defensive. "And, I don't know if I can trust you either. I can't trust you not to run"

"I only ran because I was afraid" Emma states angry as well, but she quickly remembers her place, mainly due to the sore bottom. She adds more quietly and with less attitude. "I thought you only wanted me to come home so that you could punish me then send me away again"

"I wouldn't do that. I would never do that. I explained the first time was only to protect you" Regina states.

"You know I don't believe that story" Emma states.

"I know, which is why I am going to allow you to spend time with Snow downstairs, everyday for an hour. She's here because of you so you have to take care of her. You have to feed her, supply her with clean clothes. You're not leaving this house for a very long time"

"You're keeping me locked in the house?" Emma asked in disbelief.

"Yes I am" Regina states. "It's apart of your punishment. The only person you can talk to is me, and Snow"

"Please let her go Regina. I'll stay here with you forever, but please let her go, it's depressing down there, she's done nothing wrong" Emma argues.

"That's where you are wrong Emma...She and I have a long history, I'm sure she will tell you about it, but remember, she's the one who gave you away...I realized my mistake and will never do that again" Regina states. She bends down and kisses Emma on the cheek. "I love you Emma" Regina adds.

Emma should be angry...maybe a part of her is. She can't help but sit up on her sore bottom and throw her arms around Emma's neck. "Please don't send me away again, I love you too" Emma cried.

Regina hugs her back. "I won't" Regina hugs Emma for about 5 minutes until she pulls away. "You have to go feed your mother"

"She's not my...please let her go, it can be just the two of us, like it once was before" Emma pouts. She really wants Mary Margaret out of the basement. She's afraid for her. She decides that she's going to break Mary Margaret out. This time, Mary Margaret will be the one who runs, and she will stay and take her punishment from Regina. Regina loves her, she'd forgive her right?

To be continued...

Please tell me what you thought :)

I know that some of you may want Emma to fight harder, but guys, she's 17. Her whole life she has been alone, by herself with no one to love her, and it just so happens that she gets into an abusive relationship with Regina. It happens all the time. If you look a little bit closer you can see how Emma is changing Regina, they will get it together :) I hope anyway...I want to hear your thoughts so lets rant together :)
