The Queen's Prisoner Chapter 4: Busted, an once upon a time fanfic

Chapter 4 peoples! Hope you all are enjoying it as much as we are :)

Oh and we own nothing but the words on this page.

Regina's patience with the blonde was waning. She was so much like her father. It was perturbing. No one came to Emma's room until it was time to leave, Seifer swinging open the door with a grin. "Come now, Princess. Let's go see daddy."

Emma's fingers were covered in blood when he opened the door from when she had taken out her anger on the wall. Standing up she walked passed him and followed Roran to where Regina and her father were. Seeing her father she smiled softly then shook her head. "Leave. I'm not going anywhere."

The group was off castle grounds, in a neutral area, some of Charming and Regina's men surrounding them. James' smile turned into a frown when his daughter spoke. "I'm not going to leave you with this woman, Em. It's for the best. You have a lot of time left on this earth. Go home and enjoy it."

Regina rolled her eyes and spoke up. "I never actually agreed to this trade, Charming."

Emma shook her head. "I can take anything she throws at me. You need to go home and lead. I'll be fine." She looked over at the queen when she spoke then rolled her eyes. "See she didn't even agree."

Charming looked at Regina with rage filled features. "You will give me my daughter back. We came out here for a reason, Regina."

The evil queen smirked as she strode right on up to him. "You're right. We did. I wanted to give you two a chance to see each other one last time." She pricked him with a needle, the prince falling to the ground immediately as Seifer and his men quickly began to dispose of Charming's.

Emma watched and ran up to her father trying to wake him but when Seifer pushed her back she glared up at Regina and charged her, gripping her throat and holding the bitch in the air. "WHAT DID YOU DO!? YOU FUCKING WITCH!"

Unable to breath to say a word, Regina just used her best asset. With the flick of her wrist, Emma was pushed back by magic and the queen hit the ground, gasping for air as Seifer raced to her. She waved him away and then laughed as she set her eyes on the blonde. "Such fire. I like it. He's merely asleep, dear." She stood and brushed herself off before looking back to the princess again. "I imagine your parents told you about the sleeping curse." She looked over at Seifer. "Gather James and his daughter. It's time to go back to the castle."

Emma was furious. The queen would die the first chance she got. Once back in the castle and in her room she tucked the sharpened bar against her leg, in her shoe then sat on the side of her bed.

Regina gave Charming a glass coffin similar to the one his wife had been in and stuck him in a safe, hidden room in her castle. Then she went to pay Emma a visit to see if she'd cooled off any. Another dazzling smile in place, Regina opened her door and stepped inside, not going any further than the doorway. "Still boiling with hatred, Princess?"

Emma was back in her sleeveless shirt and at the window the way Regina found her the morning before. Not looking to see the queen she practically growled. "What do you think?"

"I think you'd stab me through the heart if you had the chance." Regina said calmly as she clasped her hands together and took a few steps forward. "I could have killed him, but I didn't. You have to remember, this is war. And as you've so nicely put it before, I am the evil queen."

"You think right. I would choke the life outta you. To wrap my hands around that royal neck of yours. Mmm" She turned around and leaned against the wall. "You put him to sleep for a reason. You're keeping me here for a reason. If you're going to kill me, just do it already."

"Now, I don't think that's the only thing you'd like to do to me." Regina smirked. "But you're right. I did put him to sleep for a reason, and I am keeping you here for one. But I don't have any plans to kill you."

"Yeah, I did want to fuck your brains out. But now? You repulse me." Em crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Regina. "Oh you don't? You shouldn't. I've never done anything against you. There's no reason for you to kill me. Now, what about my father? Are you going to kill him?"

Regina's smirk faded and she marched right up to Emma, getting in the blonde's face with a sneer as the princess had done to her before. "And until today I had never done anything against you personally, yet you still saw me as an evil monster. I have no plans to kill your father, Princess. But I most certainly don't have any plans to wake him either."

Emma didn't flinch when Regina stormed up to her. She stared into her eyes, into her soul. "You will wake him if its the last thing I make you do. Now, I started to see you as something besides an evil monster but then you do this shit. You piss me off and you come into my chamber alone. So my question is, do you have a death wish or are you hoping to get me so pissed off I'd take you right here in an angry heat of passion?" Gripping the queen's wrists tightly, she spun them, slamming her against the wall. Bodies pressed against each other. Em held Regina's hands so she couldn't do her flicky magic thing. "Answer me." She growled, her breath on her lips.

"I can't wake him." Regina snarled and tried to squirm out from under the weight of Emma's body pressed to hers. "I'm not afraid of you, Princess Emma," she said the younger woman's name with disdain, "or death. You could kill me right now if you so wished, but it'd be idiotic. The guards would kill you before you even stepped foot out of this room." She looked right into those green eyes, her own dark with a mixture of anger and lust. "And I don't want you. You touch me and I'll scream." She wasn't about to give into Charming and Snow White's daughter; admit that she wanted to be ravished by the beautiful soldier.

"Can't? Or wont?" She asked through her teeth. "There is part of you that is afraid of me. Afraid of giving in. Afraid of what you'd allow me to do to you. If I killed you right now, I don't think it would be very idiotic. It'll be just like cutting the head off a snake. Behead it and the rest of it slithers until it dies. And if not, I am my father's top soldier. I know how to fight with or without a sword." The blonde let out a chuckle. "I'm touching you now, Queenie." Her lips centimeters away from Regina's as she whispered, "Scream if you don't want me."

"I can't." Regina hissed. She wasn't about to tell Emma the only way to do it, either. "And I won't let you do anything to me." She spat. "You kill me now and you'll never find your father, never get the chance to wake him." She rolled her eyes as Emma chuckled. "Still childish, are we?" She whispered her next words against the blonde's lips. "Let me go now or you'll regret it."

"Oh I will huh? The only thing I regret is not killing you the first chance I got." Emma let the brunette go roughly then pointed at the door. "Get out."

Regina was stunned into silence by Emma's response and it was clear on her face. She knew she had no right to ever think the blonde could see her as anything besides the evil queen. She had, afterall, just cursed her father right in front of her. But she didn't expect such hate filled words from the 'product' of true love. She looked down as she quickly slipped past Emma and disappeared out the door.

Emma was the one to slam her own door a moment after the queen left her quarters. She was very surprised Regina didn't say anything and abuse her power as to why she didn't have to leave when the soldier commanded her to do. Going back to the window, Em crossed her arms on the window seal and rested her chin, staring out once more to freedom.

Regina headed straight for her chambers and was now standing alone on her balcony. They'd done her wrong, but Charming and Snow White were kind to their people and known for their compassion. If their union could breed such hate for her -Emma had displayed more hatred for the queen in her few, short days at her castle than Snow had in decades- then maybe there really was no saving grace for the sorceress anymore.

It wasn't until early afternoon the next day that someone tapped on Emma's door, Roran's voice flowing through from the other side. "Are you decent, Princess Emma? I have a meal for you."

"Yeah, come in." Emma moved up on the bed and sat back against the wall at the head of it. When he stepped in she smiled softly. "How's life on the outside of this bedroom?" She asked then reaching to take the tray of food.

Roran's brows rose in questioning. "You seem awfully pleasant today after that hateful display toward the queen yesterday." He stood at the end of the bed. "Life is as good as it can be with a war raging on outside the walls."

"Only to you. You haven't done anything against me since the day we met or to my father that I know of so I have no reason to bite the hand that feeds me." She smiled slightly. "I think I actually managed to hurt the queen's feelings yesterday."

"Well, I only dislike you because I have to." He said with a slight grin. "You? Hurt the queen's feelings? I don't think Queen Regina has any feelings to hurt. She's always been a tough woman. What makes you think that?"

Emma chuckled. "Yeah same here. Other than being my enemy, you're not so bad. Regina needs to give you a raise." She smirked. "Well for one I told her she repulsed me and to make a long story short I got pretty hateful with her and told her to leave. To my surprise she actually did without fighting back."

Roran chuckled and then raised both brows again as Emma finished her story about her and the queen's interaction. "Queen Regina just let you talk to her like that and walked away? Wow. You must've really hit a nerve. That or she truly cares what you think of her. I've never seen anyone get to her like that. And repulsed? Really?" He cocked a brow in questioning.

Yeah, so I as wondering how she was acting and is she really eating the same meal?" She smirked and took a bite. "Want some?" With a nod she explained some more. "The queen is very sexy and I would love to get her in my bed but seeing what she did to my father and she can't wake him up... she pissed me off."

Roran thought for a moment about his morning interactions with the queen. "Well, she did seem a lot quieter than usual. Almost like she was bummed out about something. She's usually very charismatic." He smiled and leaned forward to take a bite off her plate, popping it into his mouth. "Thanks. And I understand the being pissed off thing. She is your enemy and she did kidnap your father."

"Bummed out huh?" She shook her head and took a bite. "If she were anyone else I'd apologize for what I said but, not to a woman that will never change. She'll always be the evil queen in my eyes."

Your kingdom may always see her as such, but that's not how we view her." Roran stole another bite and then headed for the door, stopping right beside it and tilting his head in the direction of the hall. "Would you like to go for a walk?"

"Then maybe I need to stay here a bit longer. Get out of this room and allowed to wander to see how she really is." She covered her food and nodded. "I'd love to." She smiled sweetly and left the room with him.

"If you really want to see how the queen is... I could probably hide you in amongst a crowd." Roran stated cautiously. "But you'd have to stay within sight at all times." He sighed. "I can't believe I'm saying this. Come on." They headed down the hall together.

"I'm not leaving. My father is here. I won't leave him." She smiled and followed Roran to the hall.

He looked over at her as they walked. "That is true... you don't seem the type to just run away. So, what would you like to do on our walk, Princess?"

"Show me around. I want to see your kingdom for what it is." She smiled. "Now, will get in trouble for doing this? What if The Queen or her knight find me gone?"

"Alright. We should probably disguise you a bit. One of the guards may recognize you otherwise if we don't." He led Emma down to the soldiers' barracks and tossed her some of his clothes. "There ya go. If they find you gone... I may be in a bit of trouble. But I'll think of an excuse."

Emma put on the clothes and smirked. "Ahh other than the seal on them I feel right at home." She laughed. "I'll gladly let you act like you caught me and bring me back in shackles."

Roran leaned against the wall, crossing his arms, and laughed. "You look good in them too. I bet the queen would swape Seifer out for you right away." He smiled. "Oh I'll say you conked me right out and took off, stealing my clothes."

Emma laughed. "She could, however I wouldn't be a very good knight to her." She chuckled then slapped his shoulder lightly. "Alright. We'll go with that." They walked around the castle for a bit until Emma stopped, getting a bad feeling. "Hey...maybe I've been gone from there long enough. Wanna take me back?" She was worried about Roran, not herself.

"Oh the queen uses Seifer for a lot more than his fighting skills." Roran winked and pushed himself off the wall. "I imagine you'd have the skills she's looking for too." He grinned and walked with her.
When Emma got her bad feeling, Roran stopped walking and glanced around. "Take you back?" He smiled and shook his head. "Nah. We've hardly checked anything out. It'll be okay. Wanna go see what the queen's up to?" He waggled his brows.

"I'm sure once she has me she'll never wanna go back." She grinned.
"Okay, If you think its fine and yes I do want to see what the woman is up to." With a chuckle, Emma followed her new friend.

Roran laughed and led Emma to the Great Hall, where a group of people were lined up in front of the throne. Regina stood in one of the long black dresses she was known for, her crown upon her head and her cleavage ample, as she talked to a peasant. Roran leaned close to Emma and whispered. "Now watch your evil queen in action."
The woman Regina was talking to walked with a limp, and the queen bent down to run her hands over a leg, purple energy emitting from her hands. Then she stepped back as the woman shifted from leg to leg and then jumped up and down, laughter pouring from her lips and a smile covering Regina's.

Emma could see that the peasant was a poor one, one that didn't even look like she could afford to even look at the castle. Seeing what Regina did, brows that were once furrowed, raised. "Wow... That I never would have suspected."

"She hates your parents, your kingdom." Roran said softly. "But she's been good to this one." He crossed his arms and stood to watch for a moment. "The people like her better than King George." He leaned closer to Emma. "But you didn't hear that from me."

"Well King George doesn't have magic to heal people... or kill them for that matter." She smiled softly. "There may be hope for her yet."

"Yep!" Roran smiled. "How about we head back to your room now?"

She smirked. "Sounds good." Once they walked back to the room she stopped seeing Seifer sitting on Emma's bed holding her sharpened pole. "So, the two of you have a nice meal and stroll together?" He asked.

Emma looked at Roran. "I escaped, he was better than me and caught me."

"Captain, I-"

"Hush!" Seifer stood and moved right in front of them, waving the pole in Emma's face.

"Planning to assassinate our queen with this, were you?" He looked to Roran. "Leave. I'll deal with you later."
"But-"

"Now!" Seifer yelled, Roran glancing at Emma with sympathy and then scurrying out the door. Regina's personal knight grabbed Emma by the throat and slammed her into the wall. "You I'll have fun dealing with."

Emma looked at Roran and sighed. "I'm sorry." She whispered. But she didn't get much else out before she was slammed into the wall. She gripped his wrist and tried to fight him off. Em couldn't breathe, she could barely think. But that was when her instincts kicked in. As well as her foot to Seifer's manhood. The moment he weakened she punched him in the side and slipped away toward the door.

Seifer moved quickly though and hit Emma over the head with the metal bar before she could walk out, grabbing her and dragging her back over to the bed. With the blonde barely conscious, he dropped her on the bed and grinned with victory as he stood over her. "You may be a princess back home, but you're nothing but a wench here. Let me put you in your place."

The soldier winced, her head pounding as she tried to stay awake and fight the knight off. "All you are... is a man whore." Emma strained to get out as her eyes grew heavy. Feeling his hands on her she did her best to push him away but it wasn't good enough.

Seifer yanked the blonde's pants down, exposing her ass, and then began to unbuckle his own. He had just dropped his pants when the door burst open and Regina stepped inside. "What the hell are you doing!?" Her voice dripped with rage.

Emma heard the queen's voice but couldn't move. The princess passed out in those brief moments.

Seifer jumped and bent to pull his pants back up and turned to face his queen. "I uh.. The prisoner escaped, I was merely going to show her who was in charge."

"Oh? To teach her a lesson? And yet even you forget who it is that's truly in charge." Regina approached him menacingly, stopping less than an arm's length away from him. "No one touches her." She sneered. "And I will not tolerate men behaving in such manners in my kingdom." Regina plunged her hand into his chest and removed his heart.

"Are you defending your prisoner?! Are you mad?" However when Regina's hand went into his chest, Seifer's questions stopped. Looking at her then his heart wide eyed with so much pain inside. "My Queen, please, you don't want to kill me. I'm your right hand."

Regina smirked at him darkly. "Perhaps I am a bit mad. But you, you're dead." She began to squeeze his heart. "There are men lining up to take your position, Seifer. I most certainly won't miss you." She squeezed until there was nothing but dust left.

Falling to his knees he gripped the front of Regina's black dress. "Please!" He begged and gripped his chest and fell to the concrete floor and passed away.
Emma groaned lightly, feeling the trickle of blood across her forehead as she laid on her stomach, not yet noticing the breeze across her exposed bottom.

Regina clapped the dust from her hands and then quickly moved to Emma, pulling her pants back up around her waist and taking a seat next to the blonde. She brushed her fingers over the cut on Emma's head gently and healed it.

"Dont..." She started in a groggy voice. "..be angry with...Roran. He wanted me... to see you." She opened her eyes and looked at the queen as she slowly rolled onto her back. Her hip on the small of Regina's back now as the brunette sat on the mattress. "You.. healed the poor woman with a limp."

"I'm not angry with Roran. I've decided to make him the new captain of the guard, actually. I already took care of Seifer." Facing away from Emma, Regina stared at the wall. "You saw that, huh? My magic isn't just for destruction, Emma."

Emma sat up next to the queen and looked down at the man that almost raped her. "Thank you." She then nodded. "I did see that. And I hated you a little less afterward. And a little less now, too."

"You're welcome." Regina said kindly and then looked down at Seifer with disgust. "Well I'm glad you hate me a little less." She turned to look at the blonde. "Are you feeling better now?"

Emma nodded. "Yes, a bit." She looked into Regina's eyes. "I... I also apologize for what I said yesterday. I wasn't exactly out of line but, I didn't... I just apologize." She smirked

Regina tilted her head slightly and smiled, her hands resting in her lap. "I never expected to hear those words slip out of your mouth. And you didn't what, Princess?"

"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. And don't try to deny it because I witnessed how you reacted. I'm usually a pleasent person but if you piss me off, hell, itself, will fall on your head."

Regina hated it when someone could read her so well. She was a very private person. So she decided to just deflect Emma's observation and looked away from the blonde as she stood. "Yes, I can tell you're just a darling." Her smile faded and she waved in Seifer's direction. "I'll have the guards come clean this up."

"Yeah thanks. I'd rather not have a stinky, rotting knight in my chambers." She looked at Seifer. Regina had killed her personal knight for her. It was impressive and touching rolled in one. Emma could tell the evil queen was holding back so many emotions but she decided to let it go.

Regina left without another glance to the princess and headed back to her own chambers after issuing orders. Roran walked back into Emma's room after she'd left, two guards slipping past him to collect Seifer. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry I didn't stick around to help you."

Emma shrugged. "It's okay. I didn't expect you to." She sighed. "My head hurts a bit but thanks to Regina that's all that hurts." She watched the other guards take Seifer's body.

"I couldn't disobey an order from my captain." Roran said quietly, ashamed. "You know that just as well as I. But... I couldn't just sit by while he hurt you, either. I ran to get the queen, and I'm glad she got here in time."

"You got help. That's all that matters." She smiled and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Now I have to somehow make up with the queen. She did save me after all."

Yeah, hmm..." Roran rubbed his chin as he thought. "The queen really keeps to herself. Besides tending to our kingdom's needs, trying to destroy yours," he smirked slightly, in a teasing manner, "and rolling around in the hay with Seifer, which is no longer an option, I don't really know what she does or likes."

Emma shrugged. "I guess it's time to me to find out huh?"

Roran laughed. "Yeah, I guess so. But how do you plan to do that? Spy on her? Sneak into her chambers and go through her stuff?"

"Just talk to her." She smiled. "All the other stuff is too exhausting."

He chuckled. "Yeah, but, really?" He raised a brow. "Do you really think she'll just tell you what she enjoys?"

"I don't know, to be honest. After what I said to her yesterday, I doubt she'll want to speak with me at all."

Roran nodded and rubbed his neck. "Maybe not, but you'll just have to try. Would you like me to take you to her? At this point, there's only two places she'd be."

"Yeah, if you would that would be great."

Hmm what do you think? Good?

Let us know, its like candy! :D
