Chapter 5: I'm right here.
The last thing she sees is the Chernabogs hand retreating.
The last thing she hears is Regina's voice.
She doesn't feel the pain anymore, something that she's greatful for.
It returns everywhere at once. There's no warning and no release, nothing she can do but give in to it. An inhuman scream tares from her throat, her muscles straining against the onslaught. Thrashing and wild as her body breaks, crumbling once more under the influence of another. The blissful darkness disappearing, giving way to chaos.
She feels it then, the rush of magic as it reverberates through her. Not her own but familiar all the same. Feels the warmth of the arms clasped around her, clinging to her broken body tethering her to the world. 'Emma?' Its distant at first but she hears it, follows it.
'...gina' she tries, fighting to find her voice under the blood that has collected in her throat, smothering her. Struggling again, to move, to breathe. She is upright at once, pain radiates through her at the abrupt movement. Blood painting the cold surface of the road beneath them. Gasping for air, her trembling hands clutch at Regina's anchoring them together.
'I'm right here.' she hears the panic in Regina's voice, feels a change in the magic that flows through her, no longer pulling at her, no longer piecing her back together. The constant stream altering, overtaken by something weaker. Pulsating before coming to a hault.
