Granny knows her stuff, I finally calmed down and completely full as I transform back into my female form. She kept feeding me until I was happy and free again. Emma covered the breakfast tray once again with the towel and lifted it off the table. She glanced at Granny, who smiled at her while she was cleaning potatoes in the sink, "welcome back, Princess." Emma left the kitchen but was stopped by Granny. "Remember calm and control yourself, okay?" Emma silently nodded slowly and then slowly made her way back up the steps. This time the soldiers were standing to attention, one at the foot of the staircase. The guard gave her a cursory glance. Emma was sure he had winked at her, but she made sure to keep her eyes forward and not look back.
At the top of the steps, the guard Emma had nicknamed Goliath, was standing to attention. He and been missing from this morning's antics, but he was back in his usal post. He nodded as Emma passed him.
Emma stopped midway down the corridor and leaned to the right. The door was open. Well, they must have finished. She looked back at James, who was staring at her. He was smiling, which surprised Emma. His features changed and he looked so young that she almost forgot he was the enemy.
Emma turned her attention back to her task at hand. Her job for the morning was bringing breakfast for Regina, cleaning Regina's room, and then helping her bathe, Lord help me. Please control yourself, Emma, speaking to herself quietly. She took a moment to force herself to be civil and clam, although she wasn't sure how successful it was going to be.
"I have—" Emma entered the room and stopped dead.
King Leopold was fully dressed in his uniform, and the two lovers were kissing, but Regina's robe was open. King Leopold had a possessive hold of the back of Regina's head, his fingers entagled in her black hair. His other hand was obstructed from view by Regina's robe, but there was no deny what he was doing to his wife. In the seconds, Emma from entering the room while mentally telling herself to control herself repeatedly and shutting her eyes and turning around just then she saw Regina's perfect breasts, bare stomach and one very long leg. Emma closes her eyes when she felt her male form transforming. Don't. Do not do it, Emma.
The two lovers stopped immediately as soon as they saw Emma, who had turned her back on them and was staring at the floor and wondering how easy it would be to kill both of them if she had a weapon.
"Ah, this is my cue to leave," King Leopold with a slight laugh. Emma had heard him kiss his wife. To her utter amazement, King Leopold ruffled her hair in passing her out of the door. For another long moment, Emma did not move, unsure of what to do next and afraid what will happen next if she failed to control herself. Emma forcedly turned away and scowled, "ever thought of using a lock on the door?"
"Ever thought of waiting to enter before you enter?" Regina replied and tightened the sash around her robe. "I have my breakfast in the next room, never in my bedroom," Regina said and walked out, leaving Emma to stare at her retreating form, so sexy and hot if I have to admit it. I hate you, Regina. Emma mocked with a salute at Regina's retreating back and shook her head. "Idiot" she muttered to herself as she followed her into the drawing room, where she had initially met Regina as her new maid.
The room had lighter than the bedroom. Emma spotted the table nearby and put Regina's tray on it. Regina paid no attention to her at all. She stood by the window looking out while Emma arranged the plate. Emma looked up to see Regina's reflection in the windowpane. The mid-morning sunshine caressed her black hair, which cascaded down her back. Emma was transfixed by the colors of the dark blue and black, how beautiful Regina is to the sunshine reflection.
"Do you have to stare at me?" Regina asked, not bothering to turn around.
Emma was not embarrassed at being caught. She merely shrugged off Regina's vexed question and was about to answer when Nurse Blue walked in. She glanced at Emma for a moment.
"Do I know you?" Nurse Blue asked.
Nurse Blue who is in reality is Mother Blue, the head of the fairies, who inserted herself into Evil Queen's table to become a nurse and ears for us. They have no idea about the true identity of Nurse Blue, "No," Emma replied.
"This is my new maid. Her name is Emma Swan," Regina said as she come away from the window and took a seat on the sofa.
"Ah, yes, King Leopold did mention you. I'm Nurse Blue, I'm the personal nurse to the White Kingdom and Queen Cora of the Dark Throne. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Emma gazed at Nurse Blue's stern face and then looked at Regina, who had slightly turned away, but Emma could see her grim look. She turned back to Nurse Blue and nodded.
"Good," Nurse Blue turned away from Emma and took Regina's arm. I leave for one day and I come back to some happy news!"
Regina nodded and brought up the paperwork to revel another conquest, "we did it."
"King Leopold is perfect for you, Emma." Nurse Blue said as she gazed at the papers.
"He is," Regina replied, "I am thankful for his hard work. Regina looked briefly at the nurse without acknowledging anyone's presence. Emma didn't like what is going on, "what happened?"
Nurse Blue and Regina looked back at Emma but Regina looked more ashamed that she didn't want to look into Emma's eyes. This is not what bothered her, Regina's eyes betrayed her true feelings, and Emma wasure sure why Nurse Blue couldn't see Regina's contempt for her. Emma clearly could see sit. Regina is in a lot of pain, and she definitely don't like Mother Blue, I wonder why. She was intrigued by the way Regina was standing. It was apparent to her untrained eye that Regina's body was giving her a lot of problems.
"Did you forget to take your medication?"
Regina sighed and shook her head, "No, I didn't forget Mother's medication."
"Did you run out of your medication?" Nurse Blue asked Regina as if she was talking to a child.
"No."
"You just didn't want to take your mother's medication?" Nurse Blue took Regina's hand and held it. Emma's eyebrows lifted at her actions because she was still oblivious to Regina's behavior, or she simply ignored it.
"I don't like how they make me feel," Regina whispered.
"We've had this conversation before. You rather be stubborn than to help yourself?"
Emma immediately hated the way it sounded; Emma stood up knowing that Nurse Blue will stop when she glances at her. "It's okay, Emma," Regina settled her down.
"An old friend of yours will be dropping in this week," Nurse blue said as she set out a syringe on a towel on the sofa. She looked up to find Regina staring at her, blinked rapidly and her eyes ultimately betrayed her rising panic. Emma noticed her shoulders slump and all that too brief defiant act was gone. This old friend terrifies her.
Regina took several gulps of air, her distress clearly evident to everyone in the room, although Nurse Blue was not reacting to it. "Regina, darling, she is just coming to see how you are. That is all. It won't involve any treatments. I promise you that. Your mother is sending your old friend in her stead to check on you."
Emma's gaze never left Regina's face, which was quite ashen. Who is this person she doesn't want to see. It is clear that this person is making her uncomfortable, and Nurse Blue is not seeing this. Regina softly spoke in magic that no one hears in the entire caste to tell me what is going on. "Satan's lover."
Emma's eyebrows rose at Regina's words, and she glances at the Nurse Blue to see if she heard it but did not hear anything. Where is she?" She did not want to give away Regina's honest answer. One look at Regina's anxious demeanor was enough to tell her little Satan terrified her still. Nurse Blue picked up the needle and without a word, she pushed up Regina's sleeve from her robe and gently wiped a patch on her upper arm with white cloth. Regina tried to pull her arm away from Nurse blue's grasp momentarily, but she held on tight without a word.
"I know you hate injections and would do anything to get out of them. I could get your mother to give them to you if that's what you want?"
Regina shook her head at Nurse Blue genuine threat, "No!"
"No, I didn't think you would," she slowly pushed it in, causing Regina and Emma to wince in unison. Emma's gaze remained with Regina, who had closed her eyes. Emma noticed Regina's hands shake, as whatever she had been given was cuasing her distress. Emma was about to say something when Regina's fists clenched. Nurse Blue looked down and didn't say a word. She merely prepared to leave as she stood up and poured Regina a glass of water. She come back to help Regina sit up to drink some water. For a moment, their eyes meet, and all Emma could see was Regina's scream for help and surrender in her eyes. Emma wondered, what are they doing to you.
"What did you give her?"
Nurse Blue gazed down at the maid and brushed Regina's dark hair from her eyes, "Nothing you should concern yourself with." Nurse Blue wasn't sure if she cared for her patient or not, but whatever was going on, it wasn't what she was expecting and I am doing to find out.
