She arrived at the apartment kicking at the door and yelling for MM.
A frightened MM opened the door.
"What happed?!" Emma quickly moved past her and set Regina on the couch. The woman seemed to be moving in and out of consciousness.
"What do I do…clothes, she needs clean clothes, we need to clean her wounds…"
She reached for Regina's shirt but Regina panicked, more awake than either woman realized.
"No!" She screamed. Waking Henry up.
"Mom?" He opened the loft door.
Emma glance up quickly, "Kid, I…" She looked back at Regina.
"Your Mom is hurt kid, really bad, I need your help go get some fresh clothes for her ok?"
Henry's face turned to one of horror, he turned and ran back in the room. Emma didn't know if he would be coming back out.
His mother, here? It was a lot for the kid right now.
MM placed her hand on Emma, she was getting nowhere attempting to remove Regina's dirty, bloody clothes.
"Emma, let me, she'll let me." Snow offered in a soothing tone.
Emma stared at MM like she had lost her mind. If she couldn't get Regina to calm down so they could get near her how could her enemy?
Emma scoffed, but moved aside.
Snow grabbed Regina's shoulder. Regina made eye contact and calmed her movements.
"Regina, me and Emma have to clean your wounds, it is going to hurt, we have to remove your clothes."
Regina went still and limp, eyes passive.
Snow started to take off her pants, then her shirt, and finally her undergarments.
With every new bit of skin, starting to show, were nasty dark purple bruises mixing with blood.
Emma gulped. She lifted the blanket and put it over Regina's body. Snow reached for Emma's hand.
"Call Gold, I will get you antiseptic and wrap."
Emma shook as she dialed Gold's number, it kept ringing.
She looked up and noticed Regina staring at her with curiosity.
Emma's own eyes trying to hold back tears. How could someone have done this to Regina? Sure the woman was a pain in the ass, but attempting to beat her to death?
MM set down the supplies, "Go get Gold, I've got this." She started tending to cuts.
She had bruises forming on her abdomen, she might have broken a rib, her wrist looked swollen, cuts on her lip and cheek. And more bruising was sure to be found on her back, and more places if they looked harder.
Emma ran as fast as she could to Gold's shop. The bell flying off the door as she threw herself into the door, finding it locked.
"Dearie, I hope you know you'll be paying for that…." He glared as he saw the blond intrusion.
"Regina…She's been attacked, I need you to come…"
He shook his head, "And do what? I have no magic… for the moment."
He gave a wicked smile.
"For now?" Emma's face lost any assurance it had.
"Yes dear, I am going to bring back magic. Tonight. See I was just on my way to the wishing well in the forest, I found this little slip the curse was written on you see, and all I have to do, is go send it floating into the well. Then I guess you will find your powers…"
And then with honest hesitation, "and we will see Regina's arise as well…."
Emma stepped forward, "Do it. Hurry." She moved aside for the old man to pass.
"You might want to get back to her dear, magic is a bit different here, it may take longer than I hope for. Make sure she has the time."
A/n: does she have the time?
