Chapter 14 – And All Curse Broke Loose

"Henry, where's your mom?"

Emma asked the boy as she rushed into the mansion.

"I don't know. I think she told me she would pick some apples, but I can't quite remember"

The boy, answered while he watches as his birth mother ran around like a mad person.

"Emma what's happening?"

The boy finally asked after getting tired of just standing there wondering what the hell was going on.

"I don't know, kid. All I know is that I've got a feeling something is about to happen and if it does I'm sure I won't like it"

She explained. She didn't know what she was feeling, she just knew that every time she thought about Regina – which, honestly, the brunette and the kid were the only things in her mind – she felt her chest constrict and she couldn't help but feel that's something was incredibly wrong.

"Her apple tree is on the backyard, right?"

She asked her son, after looking for Regina in the entire house.

Henry only nodded his head in affirmation and followed his mother outside the house.

When she was finally able to spot the woman she loved Emma's lips broke into a relieved smile but it quickly disappeared as she neared the brunette and realized that something was not right.

Regina was sat leaned against her beloved tree's trunk, her head hanging low. Her skin looked paler than it ever was. As Emma's hand made contact with the mayor's skin she noticed how cold the other woman was, and it was then that the blonde finally noticed the offensive wound on the brunette's forehead.

Looking for a pulse she found what she most dreaded. None.

"No no no no no no. Regina, you can't do this to me"

Emma said desperately as she pulled the smaller woman into her lap.

"Mom? Mom? Emma, what happened why isn't she answering me?"

For a moment she had forgot all about Henry, and when she finally looked up at her son she felt her heart break into millions of tiny little pieces.

"She's gone, Henry"

She was able to let out before the first of many sobs wracked her body.

As the words slowly sank into the little boy's mind, he couldn't bring himself to believe it.

"No. This is not how it's supposed to end. We were her happy ending. You're supposed to save her. You have to save her"

He screamed angrily. How could anyone do something like that?

"How? How am I going to save her?"

The blonde finally broke from her crying to question her son.

"Kiss her. You're her true love, just kiss her"

Even though she wasn't sure it could work, she knew that she would try everything to bring Regina back.

Slowly she leaned in and covered cold pale lips with her own. She lingered into the kiss, but nothing happened. She tried again and again, until her lips were sore, but it didn't work. Nothing would work. Regina was truly gone, and there was nothing she could do about it.

She and her son simply sat there mourning the loss of the person they loved most.

Never in the history was Storybrooke known as a loud town, but when the breaking of a curse that stole the citizens' memories and their happy endings happens no one could – nor would - actually expect quietness from it.

The sun had barely gone up when the streets exploded in screams, laughter, hugs, kisses and even a little of crying here and there.

Friends, lovers, family and all kinds of relationships began to rebound at that moment.

The people were so drowned in the happy moment that each one was in that they didn't even cared, not for even a split of second, to think about how the curse was broken. They didn't take it as a really important issue, after all, the only thing that mattered was that everyone was together and reunited with their loved ones.

Everyone, except for maybe one very unique and beloved couple of the citizens, but no one wouldn't have acknowledge it if the petite brunette hadn't asked out loud.

"Has anyone seen Charming?"

SQSQ

As Regina woke up, she was met with hell of a sore back; apparently her couch wasn't as comfortable as she thought it was.

As if that wasn't enough the pang in her heart just would not leave her alone.

Her couple hours of sleep were filled with dreams about Emma, which she couldn't actually say it was bad, thankfully enough she didn't have any nightmare in which the blonde would die, no it was quite differently. The problem concerning it was that once she wasn't sleeping anymore she would have to face the fact that the sweet moments she just lived a few moments prior her awakening were nothing but dreams, products of her imagination.

Even though she knew it was different than when she still hadn't met Emma, and that she had the chance to make things happened, the dreams only remember her that if she got one step wrong down the road she would lose everything, and she wasn't sure she would be able to handle it.

"Regina. Regina."

Emma mumbled in her sleep as her body tossed and turned violently on the bed.

"REGINA!"

As she shouted her love's name, Emma was finally able to free herself from the scaring nightmare.

When she finally succeed in calming herself down and felt her heart rate had decreased to a normal pace she noticed the tears falling from her eyes, she didn't even bother in wiping them away or try to stop the imminent full-with-sobs-type-of-crying that she knew was about to come next.

Ever since the moment she decided to stay away from the brunette Emma had felt as if she had ripped her own heart out of her chest and crushed it and the disturbing nightmare she just had only made her feel emptier.

So the crying was welcomed, and maybe, she pondered, after she had poured her heart out she could think things clearer, since she knew would be surely second guessing her choices, even if she understood why she made the decision she made she wasn't sure how long away from the mayor she could be if this emptiness would be the only thing she would be feeling every day.

Snow White and the rest of the town split in groups to go and search for their oh so charming king.

Every single small group had looked everywhere they could when their beloved queen finally remembered that – if she wasn't being tricked by her feelings – her husband was lying in a hospital bed with a bracelet identification that read John Doe on his arm.

As quickly as she could she made her way toward the hospital, and when she finally got to the room he was, her brightened like a million stars and her face broke into a watery smile as she saw her true love standing near the bed.

"Snow"

He said as they ran to one another.

"You found me"

He said as they held each other.

She smiled back at him before saying

"I will always find you"

The noise coming from the streets of the small town forced Emma to get up from her bed, just when she was readying herself to try taking a nap – one that didn't involve disturbing nightmares in which the love her life died, thank you very much.

As she looked down through her window, she was able to see the commotion outside the Bed and Breakfast and had an idea what was going on.

"I'm so not ready for that"

The blonde thought as she looked down. As she began to distance herself from the window to go back to her bed and try to get some sleep, she heard someone yelling to the crowd down the streets.

"The Queen must pay for this! Let's get justice!"

Agreement yelling was heard, and Emma watched in horror as the angry mob turned to the direction of the former queen's mansion.

Regina stood in her kitchen preparing Henry's breakfast – and trying to act as if nothing, other than Emma leaving her, had happened – when she heard the angry pounding on her door.

She took one long breath, before making her way towards the front door. Peeking from the peep-hole Regina was able to see what she had already expected too. The whole town, guided by Snow White and, her recently awoke from a coma, Prince Charming on her front porch demanding her presence.

The brunette put her Evil Queen mask back. A cold smirk gracing her lips, and she finally opened the door.
