Thank you all for the follows and reviews on this story thus far! I'm glad you all like it and hope in the next chapters we don't disappoint.

We own nothing... :/

Emma was light and easy for them to carry, even with all the armor. When they got her back inside, Regina was waiting to greet them with a smirk. One that quickly faded when she realized they hadn't brought back Charming. "Where is James? I wanted more than just this soldier, you fools!"

Roran bowed. "I'm sorry your magesty. They carried him off before we could get to him. But his daughter should surfice." He held his hand toward the blonde woman.

"His daughter?" Regina's smirk quickly reappeared as she stepped forward and grabbed ahold of the warrior's chin, lifting it so she could see her face clearly. "Such a pretty little thing." She turned her head to look over her shoulder at Roran. "Have her taken to the guest chambers and guard the door until my arrival. I have some business to attend to first."

"Yes, your grace." He and one other took Emma to the chambers and threw her on the bed. Bleeding. He didn't care, so he would let the queen decide what she wanted to do with the dying soldier.

Regina went to deal with her second husband. King George's health was quickly deteriorating, but the bastard still wanted to know everything that went on. Once she gave him an update, she headed to the guest chambers where Roran and the other soldier quickly opened the doors for their queen and then shut them behind her. She glided across the room to the foot of the bed. Leaning over, her fingers walked up the girl's thigh and paused over the deep gash Roran had gave her. Magic poured from her fingertips as she healed the wound, stepping back as the blonde opened her eyes slowly.

Emma slowly opened her eyes after being healed. The sight of the queen was breathtaking but once it registered she backed up on the bed and went for the dagger that was no longer on her hip. Getting up quickly she stood tall. "What do you want?"

Regina gave a dazzling, charming smile. How she loved the tough, bravado routine so many soldiers put on. It was fun to break that mentality down. "Surely you must know what I want. You are, afterall, the king and queen's daughter. I imagine they've told you many horrible things about me."

Emma wouldn't be broken easily. "Oh yeah. And how big of an evil bitch you are. What the hell made you like this? Hm? Daddy issues?"

Regina could already tell Emma was very much like her father and mother. The attitude didn't surprise her and didn't upset her pleasant demeanor any. She just deflect the question. "Your parents aren't as innocent as they like to make themselves sound out to be." She turned away from the knight and headed over to a small table where a tea pot and cups sat. "Would you like a cup of tea, my dear?"

"Oh I know they're not but they're a helluva lot better than you." She watched the queen. "Only if you drink some first, Queenie." She stepped closer to the brunette. She was thirsty but wasn't dying for it quite yet.

Regina poured a cup and then turned to face Emma, sipping from it before holding the cup out for the blonde to take. "If I were going to kill you, it'd be in a much flashier manner, dear. I am a sorceress, afterall." She sighed. "And how do you know if they're 'a helluva' better than I? You've never even met me."

Emma took a sip and held back a moan. It was damn good tea. "I"ve heard stories. I've seen what you're capable of, what you did to my men. Why do you even care what I think about you?"

Regina just smiled and shook her head. "I don't care what you think. I'm just not a fan of making judgements based on hearsay." She frowned slightly. "And your men were attacking my castle."

"Yeah, beause your a threat. This war started because of you, but we will finish it."

"We'll see about that." Regina said in a low, dangerous tone with a sneer. "Enjoy the tea, dear. I'll have dinner brought up to you later." She swept past the blonde and headed for the door.

Emma had fucked a few women in her life and she had a feeling this queen would be on that list. Once she left the room, Em walked back to the bed and sat down. Why was Regina treating her well, with food and tea? Why wasn't she torturing the princess? She wondered.

Regina informed Roran that he was to ensure Emma was fed and that no one, not he nor any other soldier, touched her. Then she went off to her own chambers to think about how she'd win the knight over. The princess was beautiful. And the fact she was strong enough to stand amongst men and fight made her even more attractive. Regina would use her to get her revenge.

Emma looked around the room and found a loose vertical small bar in the iron headboard of the bed and silently took it off. Sitting down she started rubbing it on the concrete wall to make a sharp pointy end on it for protection. When the food came in she hid it and looked up at the soldier that brought it in. She said nothing.

Roran set the food tray down on the bed next to her and then stood straight. "The queen wants you in good health, it seems. I wouldn't give you anymore than I'd give a dog. But she insists you have the same meal she's having." He snorted.

"It wouldn't bother me to eat like a dog because from where I'm from, dogs are very well fed." She smirked. "Why the hell does she insist I have the same food as her?" She asked with a raised brow.

Roran shrugged. "Like I'd know. The queen is a mystery to many. I don't think even King George fully understands her."

"He's so old I'm sure he doesn't understand most things." She chuckled. "So how is it working under the queen? How does she treat her men and others?"

Roran had to bite his lip so he wouldn't laugh too. "He is... often unable to leave his chambers." Then he straightened up and puffed out his chest. "The queen treats her men well. But she's not a force to be reckoned with. If you fail her, you pay."

Emma nodded. "I'm sure she's waiting til he kills over to completely take over the kingdom." She smiled. "Well as long as you do your job you're good to go." She picked up her roll and took a bite. "She say how long she's keepin me in here?"

"Queen Regina has, already, basically taken over. As your mother and father have already determined, King George has fallen ill and grown weak. The queen hasn't aged a day since she got here." Roran watched Emma for a moment and then spoke again. "She didn't say. If I were you, I'd just be grateful I wasn't locked away in the dungeon."

Emma nodded her head. Once he left she still pondered in the area of 'Why wasn't she in the dungeon?' She ate her meal then laid the tray on the table before laying back on the bed. She knew James was most likely freaking out by now. If he is awake that is. But she knew her mother would be.

James was pacing back and forth in the tent his men had set up away from the fighting, his right hand man listening to his rant. "What do you mean they took her!? You should have gotten her out of there! You know I consider Emma more a priority than myself."

Sebastian nodded his head. "Yes sir. Yes sir, I understand. We did all we could but the queen was using her magic and they were coming at the men. We didn't stand a chance. We tried!"

James pinched the bridge of his noise as he leaned against a table, still a little disoriented from the earlier blow. "We have to get her out of there, Sebastian. There's no telling what Regina will do to her."

I know, but how do we get in there. There's no way to get the princess out. We shouldn't have let her fight. Women always get in the way and muck things up."

James clenched his jaw and got in Sebastian's face. "Emma is a better swordsman than you are and she saved my life. I don't see how that's mucking things up. Her mother, Red. They're both excellent fighters too. So I don't want to hear another word from your mouth about a woman's abilities."

He snorted and shook his head, walking away from the prince.

A few hours had gone by and Em opened her eyes to see the queen standing above her. "Well hello, gorgeous. You'd be very nice to wake up to if I wasn't your prisoner."

Regina laughed, her hands clasped in front of her. "Aren't you sweet? I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you like the company of women." She took a seat next to Emma on the bed. "Did you enjoy your meal?"

She shrugged slightly. "They can call me a princess but I won't be lady like." She smirked and sat up on one elbow as she turned to lay on her side instead of her back. "Yeah it was good. Your minion said that you wanted me to have the same meals you... why?"

"I just want to ensure you're well cared for, Princess." Regina smiled. "If you weren't the daughter of my sworn enemies, I imagine you'd be a charming guest." Her eyes traveled over Emma's form briefly. "An entertaining one too."

"I'm not complaining." She smirked. "I'm quite comfortable here however I have this nagging feeling that all this comfort is going to end shortly and I'll be tortured like all the rest."

"All the rest?" Regina furrowed her brow slightly. "And what gave you the impression I torture my prisoners? That I plan to rip you from the comfort and make you suffer?"

"Well you have a dungeon for a reason, correct? Why wouldn't you make me suffer? I came here to kill you. To make you suffer. Why would you do all this? You capture me only to make me feel welcome? I don't get it queenie." She said as she sat up next to the brunette.

"I don't know what your parents taught you, Princess, but good and evil isn't so black and white." Regina scowled. "I use my dungeon to imprison men, yes, but I don't torture them. There's no need when I can control them, make them bend to my will if I so please." She leaned a bit closer to the blonde. "And instead of coming here to make me suffer, perhaps you should have looked at both points of view. Maybe I want you to truly open your eyes."

"Ah, so you want to control me?" She smiled and leaned in closer with every word just to whisper in her ear. "Then show me. Open my eyes. Tell me what I need to hear. Show me what I need to see, Queen."

A slight shiver ran up Regina's spine as Emma leaned closer, the queen pulling back. "You'll see for yourself in due time." She stood and turned to head for the door, pausing once her hand was on the door handle. "Sleep well, Princess." She turned her head in Emma's direction. "I'll be by to get you in the morning."

"G'night, Dark Beauty." Emma said in response with a smirk.

Once Regina left, the smirk disappeared off the blonde's face, replaced with a disgusted look. She thought maybe if she could seduce the queen and get close enough she could get what her kingdom wanted. Sweet triumph.

Regina had the exact same thoughts. She could've easily taken the blonde's heart and controlled her, but she wanted to seduce her. Truly win over her affections so she could wave the princess in her parents' face. Nothing would be sweeter than seeing the look on Snow and Charming's face once their precious daughter had taken up with their enemy.

Ahhh chapter 2. There it is :)
