Hi everybody, this is my first Fanfiction, and also the first story I actually ever written. So, I already apologize for my writing. Also, English is not my first language, so there will probably have a lot of mistakes but, I'm trying my best.
When the purple smoke vanished, she wasn't able to move. She stared at the field in front of her, she was back where it all began. She couldn't help but feel broken, one more time, she had lost everything.
Only the people that were at the town line in Storybrooke were gathered here, the others must have appeared somewhere else. They were all dressed up the way they were before the curse hit. After a while, Snow stated "We're back".
As soon as she heard those words, Regina let all the pain and fear fill her heart. She had lost her son, she would never see him again. At that thought, tears began to fall. Snow and Charming were hugging each other and started to cry as well, they also lost a child today. After a few moments, Tink came and hugged Regina. Regina didn't back up from her embrace, she needed it, she needed to feel that someone actually cared for her and supported her in everything she's been through. So she returned the hug and cried even more. When Regina was able to gain some composure, Tink backed away and said : "We need to find a place to sleep, the night will fall soon"
"You're right" said Snow, "How about we head to our castle, there are a few rooms that aren't totally destroyed. We can all sleep there tonight and tomorrow we can start to rebuild what's left from the castle"
Charming and the rest of the group nodded.
Regina heard them talk and fear started to build inside of her. She thought they wouldn't want her with them, what was she going to do? She thought about going back to her castle, but she had to admit she wasn't ready for that. She didn't want to get back to the place where she had been so miserable. She was afraid that she would revert to her old-self if she was left alone in this place.
As if she was reading right through her mind, Snow took Regina's arm and said softly to her "You can come with us if you want, we're family after all'
Regina looked right through Snow's eyes, not knowing what to say or do. She looked at Tink who gave her an encouraging smile. She answered "We'll never be able to get there before the night falls by walking".
Snow understood what she meant by that, she looked at David who nodded once again, and Snow gave Regina an encouraging smile.
A purple smoke engulfed the entire group that was gathered in the field and, seconds later, they were all in front of the Charming's castle. As soon as they re-appeared, Regina fell down to her knees. Because of all the magic she used that day, she didn't have any strength left in her body.
Snow was the first one to see her fall, she asked "are you ok ?", worry in her voice.
Tink, who was standing next to her rushed over her to help her get up.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little … tired, that's all" answered Regina.
"You should rest while the rest of us prepare everything for the night" stated Tink. Then she looked at Snow and David to get their approval.
"Hook, Red and I are going to hunt. The rest of you can arrange something for tonight, find some mattresses, blankets and wood to keep us warm." instructed David.
Some of the dwarves started to contest David's orders, but after some negotiations, they all stayed to help Snow and the rest of the group to set up everything for the night.
After a couple of hours, they were all eating next to the fire, in a room that still had a roof, the mattresses were all gathered in too. Regina was sitting away from the others, they were all discussing about how they could fix everything in the castle and honestly, Regina really didn't care about all of that. After a while, Tink came to sit next to her.
"Are you ok ?" Tink asked, with a soft voice
"I'm fine, stop asking me that !" answered Regina, a little bit annoyed by Tink's intrusion in her personal space. She just wanted to be alone right now. She needed to figure things out. Here she was, with a bunch of people she was forced to work with for some time but who didn't even care for her. They all lost someone they cared about but, honestly, that didn't seem to change anything in their relationships.
"You want to talk ?" asked Tink
"I have nothing to tell" answered Regina, a little harshly
"Come on, Regina, you just lost your son. I know that's hard but maybe talking will soothe you"
Regina she just stared at the fire. After a while, she said "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep". With that she left Tink and went to lie on a mattress. Tink didn't attempt to stop her, she knew in doing so, Regina will just push her away more. She needed to wait until Regina was ready to talk to her.
Regina was lying in her bed, all the others weren't long to do the same. Hook went to lie in the mattress next to her. She could see he was deep in his thoughts, looking at the ceiling. After a while she saw a tear make her way down his cheek. She understood the pain he was feeling, after all they both lost someone they love. He turned his head and found her staring at him, she made a sad smile "I'm sorry for your loss" she told him.
"Thank you … Sorry for Henry, too" he replied.
As soon as he said those words a tear began to fall. She turned her face so he wouldn't see her cry. Soon, she started to fall into a restless sleep.
