Hey second chapter up already. Didn't think I'd be able to update this story so quickly. I should also have other chapters up sometime soon, likely this week. I found my hand written copies of chapters 3-5 and just have to type them up and edit them.

I have no beta so any and all errors are my own. I do all editing myself and it's easy to miss things. Please let me know if i need to correct anything. Thanks you berry much.

Disclaimer: I still don't own OUAT or Emma and Regina. If I did they would have magic/True-Love babies by now, and be married. But their not, soo... DX

-Chapter 2-

I woke up the next morning, with my eyes still closed from, and wishing that yesterday had just been a dream. I wanted to go back to how everything was before the accident, before my life was stolen from me. I felt a deep ache begin to build in my chest, the threat of tears becoming too much for me to handle.

"I just want my freaking life back, Is that too much to ask?"

I never knew that I could want something so badly. I felt a few tears escape my eyes and fall, unable to contain the pain and sorrow that I was holding inside of me, yet unwilling to let it go.

When I finally decided to open my eyes I saw Regina sitting on the coffee table watching me. She wore a dark blue tank top and a pair of gray short shorts.

She gently touched her hand to my shoulder in a comforting gesture, as if she knew of the pain I was feeling. She stood and smiled down at me. Unsure of what to say I closed my eyes and tried to think of a reason to explain my tears. I partially opened my left eye courious to know if she was still there.

She wasn't.

I sat up wondering where she had gone, whan in the corner of my eye I saw something orange, glinting in the dim light. I looked, and sitting on the table was a pack of Reeses peanut butter cups and a Coke, along with folded a yellow sheet of paper with my name on it. I carefully picked up the peice of paper and gently opened it.

It said:

Emma,

I had a feeling you would need some cheering up. So, here is some chocolate and a soda. I hope they help. I know that you're having a tuff time adjusting. But know that I am here to help you, contrary to what you may believe.

- Regina

I sat there for a minute or two staring in disbelief at the note in my hand. "Why is she trying so hard to make me feel better?"

"Jeez, who would give chocolate to make someone happy. How stereotypical can you get?" I muttered in case she was listening. But on the inside I was thankful to her for noticing that I was hurting, and for attempting to make me feel a little bit better.

I leaned back against the arm of the couch, picked up the package of Reeses and tore it open. I sighed expectantly as the sweet smell of chocolate and peanut butter filled the air. I bit into one, and then another until all of them were gone. I then reached over grabbed the Coke and popped the top open. I brought the can to my lips and poured a gulp of fizzy goodness into my mouth and held it there savoring the crisp, cool taste.

I looked at the can and realized that even though I was dead I could still eat and drink. Wasn't stuff- like food and drinks- supposed to go right through me, like in movies?

"Note to self: ask Regina how it's possible that I can eat and drink stuff."

The entire place started to shake. The sound of wood breaking and stone crunching echoed throughout the basemment, followed closely by a girl's screams.

"Regina."

I jumped up, dropping my soda all over the floor. I headed up the stairs as fast as I could. I burst through the door that opened into the hallway on the first floor. Dust hung thick in the air to the point that I could hardly see. But I could tell from the rays of light that were reflecting off the dirt that at least half of the house had collapsed.

The ground stopped shaking.

All was silent.
