A/N: Finally it is here! It's been a long time to get this chapter to be done. My writer block absolutely went crazy. I know that my English grammars sucked. Anyway, I'm promising you to have this story to be continued. I'm sorry to make you wait for a new chapter. I know it was my fault. My ideas went on Regina's Coffee Shop, The Beauty of The Ballet, Roommates and The Music of The Romantics. All these stories had to be thoroughly in my own ideas of the visuals for the stories. I hope these stories entertain you more. I love you and you love me.
Here is your chapter 2. I will shut my mouth up. The song is Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson. All mistakes are mine. Disclaimer: Grammars sucked. OUAT and songs are not mine.
Chapter 2: Dark Side
During the day in Storybrooke High School, the young blonde lady walked in the hallways. The students were chatting and laughing except the brunette girl, Regina Mills stared at her while she was with her best friend, Kathryn Nolan. Emma finally got in the classroom, sat down in her usual spot in the front row and read a book. Until, she heard Regina and Kathryn chatting about the Halloween party at her house then looked up at her and winked. Regina was out of the blue when she saw Emma winking at her and went to sit on her seat. The class went to work on their own science project for a half hour until their teacher decided to announce a new science project with two people to be pairs. They were excited about it and can't wait to start it.
Before a teacher spoke up for choosing the partners in each group, the class didn't know that their teacher already have a list of the partners and assumed that the students went ahead to pick their partners. Regina was the first one to say in the class and everyone followed her lead except Emma to be silent.
"I want Kathryn to be my partner!" Her teacher laughed and shook his head then continued.
"I already had a list here so I am going to pair you all with your partner. It's not your choice that I'm not going to approve for your science projects. Sorry, buddies. Now, we can move on to pair you guys." The class groaned. Regina scoffed, crossed her arms and narrowed at her teacher for a while. She found out that Kathryn was with her new partner, Fredrick. Until, the brunette lady heard her name pronounce and discovered that she was paired with a weirdo nerdy, Emma Swan.
Kathryn gasped in shock, whispered toward her best friend, Regina and scrunched her nose while they were looking at Emma in the front row.
"Eww. I can't believe that you are partnering with that deadly nerd. So, I wish you good luck with her." Regina glared at her best friend, smacked her bicep then looked away at the blonde lady who was focusing on her project. She didn't know that Emma heard a whole thing and hid her face away from her.
For Emma, she was excited about working with a partner on their new science project. She can't wait to start it until she heard that she was partnering with the only and one Regina Mills, her crush. She hid her smirk until she heard Kathryn talking about her and went frowning.
When the class was over, their teacher dismissed them and the students went to pack their bags then left the classroom except Regina and Emma alone in the classroom. The brunette lady strode toward her and spoke in a bitchy tone. Emma whisked to look away at her and winced at every word Regina spoke at her.
"Be there at 7 pm. Be on time. My house. Here is my address. Is that clear?"
"See you at 7 pm." Emma walked away and Regina scoffed then continued.
"Is that all you said?"
"Yep, have a good day."
The brunette lady rolled her eyes, left with Kathryn, who was waiting outside and went into her classes all day. She didn't know that Emma went to the music room and practiced on the guitar chords for Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson. The blonde lady smiled at herself when she got her new partnership with Regina Mills for science class.
The school finally went to be over for the students to leave on their way to whether to go. Kathryn already left early because of the soccer practice. Regina went to her locker to pack her homework in her bag and got ready to leave school. But in her mind, she remembered the questions that she planned to ask the figure in the music room, strode toward the music room and opened the door. No one was there in the room and Regina decided to wait there on the bench. The brunette lady didn't know that Emma was there the whole time to play a song.
The music heated up in the room, Regina looked around in the room and went confused until she heard the lyrics coming out from the mysterious figure. The sounds of the guitar started to play and the brunette lady looked away at the guitar in front of her. She gaped in shock when she saw the strings played by itself and no one actually played it. It was spooking her out and the door went shut. Regina jumped in a tingly shock when she heard the door slam. The song went daunting but yet dark.
There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away
Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know
It can become
If you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Will you love me? Ohh
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Emma chuckled when she finished her song and finally faced her crush then spoke in a velvety voice. Regina shivered under the chills the blonde smoothed her voice and felt tense when she was alone with a figure in front of her. The blonde didn't show herself and stayed in the dark shadow so Regina can't see her. The brunette finally remembered her questions, pocketed out her paper from her backpack and smoothed the crinkle of the document. Emma tilted her head while she was watching her carefully.
"Hello, Regina." The brunette lady cleared her throat and replied.
"Hello."
"Do you want to know who I am?"
"Yes, please."
"I can't think of anything, but I can't reveal myself. Also, I can give you hints to figure it out for yourself."
"Oh, please don't tease me. I wanted to know who you are right now."
"The first hint: I'm always in the front row in your classes."
"Front row?" Regina figured it out when she was looking at the figure in the dark shadow. Emma giggled, put her guitar away in the box and spoke again.
"Yes, front row. Any questions?"
"You played beautifully. What made you play these sorrowful songs?"
"These songs made me that who I am. You have a few minutes left."
"How did you learn how to play guitar? I know it is a dumb question."
"It is ok. No one like to know about me. When I was a young girl, I had a family who was in the music business and one of the parent taught me how to do that until I finally was a master of it."
"No one wanted to know about you?"
"Yes. I think that it is time for you to go home."
"I have a lot of questions."
"Save it for another time."
"Ok. Thank you for letting me stay here and I hope to see your face again."
Regina finally left the music room to get home before 7 pm. Emma smiled widely and zoomed back to the cabin in 3 seconds flat. The blonde lady finally arrived in the lounge and found her supervisor waiting on the couch. She rolled her eyes and went into her bedroom to get changed while she was hearing the redhead woman raising her voice in the living room.
"Hello, Emma. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing wonderfully. So you?"
"Fantastic."
"What are you doing exactly?"
"I'm checking on you, is it too much for you?"
"Really, Ella? Did that douchebag send you here to check me up?"
"Yes and don't call him. He saved your life."
"Yeah right. He literally saved me by sucking my blood and gave me a fucking vampire cure!" Emma strode out from her bedroom and yelled back at her. Ella rolled her eyes and remembered that day when Emma was going to die on her own then continued.
"You were dying on your own. You almost died in the fatal accident."
"What about my parents? I haven't been with them for long. Did he save my parents? I didn't fucking think so. Now, you got to get out of here and I don't want to see you."
"Ok, you've been doing well. I will inform him about you, but you should be thankful that you are alive. I'm sorry about no warning."
Emma gestured her to get out of her cabin and glared at her until Ella finally whisked to run in 2 seconds flat. The blonde lady groaned and went to the kitchen for making her liquid dinner before on her way to Regina's house for the science project. She grabbed the blood fluids, poured it in the thermal bottle and it was full. Emma sighed, grabbed her backpack and locked it up then zoomed toward Regina's porch few minutes early before 7 pm. The blonde lady checked on her appearance before knocking on the door. She nodded at herself and knocked on it.
Few minutes later, the door opened to reveal the old man in the business suit, Emma smiled politely and he started to open his mouth for speaking his polite language at the blonde lady.
"Hello, may I help you?"
"Is Regina Mills here?"
"Ok, hold a minute." He smiled and turned around to yell at his daughter from the bedroom. "Regina! You have a visitor here." They heard the brunette lady's footsteps on the stairs until she arrived to meet her father and Emma in the front door. Emma waved her hand to say 'hello.' Regina rolled her eyes and spoke in her silky voice.
"Daddy, this is Emma Swan, my science partner. Emma, this is my father, Henry Mills."
Emma nodded, shook her hand with him and replied.
"It's pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mills. I apologize that we haven't had ever properly met and it's finally to be here in person to make my acquaintance with you. By the way, you both have a beautiful home." Henry was surprised, but Regina was dumbfounded at the blonde lady's polite manners. He smiled widely, stepped aside to let her come in and spoke in his gentle tone.
"Well, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our home. Thank you for your beautiful compliment. I hope to see you again next time if you like to come around to have our dinner together. Unless your parents allows you to do that."
"I would love to stay for dinner but right now, I'm not really hungry. Another thing is that I have no parents. I'm already past 18 and on my own."
Regina was still shocked as she stared at her science partner until her father shook her shoulder and looked away at him. He smiled sheepishly and nodded for them to come in the dining room to do their science project and informed them that he would be in his office if they needed his help with their science project. The ladies nodded, went into the dining room and Emma pocketed her textbook out from her bag. The brunette girl already had her homework on the table and waited for Emma to get her thing out. They went to work on their science project and they decided to present about the musician's hearing and nonmusicians hearing. They researched for few hours to test their ears. Emma is an expert at hearing the music sounds but won't let Regina know that she was the one to play the guitar, but she immediately picked the piano instead of having a guitar. It would cause Regina to suspect that the blonde lady in the music room.
After few hours later, Regina went to get her late dinner then brought her plate with her in the dining room to finish their touches on the science project. She offered the dinner for Emma to eat it and the blonde lady shook her head then told her that she already had her dinner before arriving here. The brunette girl nodded, ate in silence and watched Emma gather everything to put on the project in the order.
Finally, they finished their science project and decided to have their night to be done. Emma cleaned it up with her things in her bag, got ready to leave until Regina spoke in a gentle tone.
"Wait! Emma, you forgot the notes. Let me get it for you." Emma nodded and waited at the front door. Regina ran toward her bedroom to get the notes then went back to the front door and gave it to her. Emma packed it in the bag and walked to the front door then opened it until they heard Henry yelling. Regina turned around to yell at him back and Emma knew it was a cue to leave then zoomed back to the cabin in 2 seconds flat.
"Regina, Have you ate your dinner?"
"Yes, dad I did. I think that you should finish your dinner. I have to let Emma out."
"Ok!"
Regina sighed and turned around to see Emma, but the blonde lady was gone. She went confused and walked out to search for her. The brunette lady checked on the sidewalks and driveway then turned around to get back into her house and closed the front door. She muttered to herself.
"It's weird. Emma was there then few minutes later, she was gone. Maybe I'm dreaming."
"Who are you talking to?" Henry came upon her and rubbed her shoulder.
"I just talked to Emma about the notes, I got them to give it to her and you called me then she was gone few minutes later. I had no sight of her."
"Maybe, she was in the hurry to get home before midnight."
"I know. Well, good night."
"Good night sweetheart." They decided to have their night out to get sleep.
Emma arrived in the cabin, stayed awake until the early morning and went into the shower and got ready for school. She drank two blood liquids and wiped the remaining of the blood on her lips with her tongue. The blonde lady smiled and went to lock it up and zoomed back to the school. She finally walked into the hallways until she arrived at her science classroom and waited for the teacher to come.
The teacher came in time to unlock the door, let Emma come in and prepared for the presentations. The students went to fill them in the science classroom and Emma decided to go first and waited for Regina to arrive. Kathryn raised her eyebrows at the blonde lady and texted her best friend to inform her that they were going to be first to present.
Regina arrived 10 minutes late, showed up in the science classroom and went dumbfounded when she saw Emma standing in the front of the class and heard her speaking.
"Finally, you are here. So we are going to present now. Are you ready?"
"Umm. Yeah, you go ahead." The brunette lady looked away at Kathryn who was mouthing 'Tell you later'. She nodded and dropped her bags on her desk then stood beside her. Emma gave her presence to show everything on the powerpoint and Regina demonstrated it and explained what things stands for. Everything went perfectly until they finished their presentation. The ladies went to sit down and waited for the bell ring. The teacher lectured about the science stuff and gave them homework. Regina looked away at the front row and remembered from yesterday's music room. In her mind, it echoed in a beautiful voice and it went 'I'm in the front row in your classes.' She looked away at them and found out that the front row had four boys and one girl in each class she attended. She knew that it was impossible that the boys pulled it off with that voice she heard. The brunette lady realized that it was Emma all the times and went in shock. She decided to put it away in her mind and heard the bell ring. She went toward Emma and spoke in a warning tone.
"You should tell me that we're going to present our project first last night. Don't you realize that you made me embarrassed."
"I apologize. But you should be thankful that we made A plus for this project. I think that you would be thrilled." Emma smiled and left her in awe. Regina opened her mouth and closed it then decided to go for her classes all day with Kathryn. On her lunch break, Regina decided to search for Emma and apologize for her rudeness but can't find her somewhere and went to check in the music room if she was there. She knew it was her all the time. She went frustrated by not finding her in the school and decided to end her day to go home.
In the cabin, Emma arrived at her front door and found Neal there. She laughed and embraced him then let them come in. Neal was her best friend and they grew up together to be friends since their parents knew each other until it died in their memories. Neal went to sit down on the couch and spoke in his scruffy voice.
"Emma, how have you been?"
"I'm doing great. I'm living here on my own. So what about you?"
"I'm good. So, how is the vampire cure treating you well?"
"It sucks to be a vampire to drink blood twice a week. So what about you too?"
"I know man. I'm getting there. Well, did you find Regina Mills?"
"Yeah, she's a fucking gorgeous. I have a crush on her."
"You know humans…"
"I know. It sucked."
"Tell me about her."
"She's a fucking loaded off. Her father is Henry Mills. You know what? She's a fucking class president in Storybrooke High School and has been my science partner for two days."
"Wow, it has been indeed, to be excited."
"Fuck yeah. Do you want blood?"
"Yes please, I'm low on my doses."
"Ok, Let me get it for you."
Emma went to the kitchen to grab the blood and strode back to the living room to give it to him. Neal went sucking the liquid and wiped it clean then dunked in the trash can in the lounge. The blonde lady chuckled and remembered the memory of her last day with her biological parents then continued.
"I remembered my last day with my real parents. The one person that I knew was Cora Mills murdered them. I found the picture of her in Regina's house last night. It was confirmed that it was Regina's mother."
The brunette man rubbed his eyes, nodded and spoke lightly. "You should be not thinking about taking out their family's heart out?"
"Are you kidding? I can't. Because it is too much to watch them die."
"I know. What will you do with The Mills?"
"Leave them alone."
"That's all?"
"Yeah, I wanted to move on and live my life as a vampire."
"All right. Thank you for letting me stay here and I have to go."
"Tell your parents that I said hi."
"Go fuck yourself for Regina Mills."
"Ha. Hilarious. It's great to see you, Neal."
"You too. See you around."
Neal left in 2 seconds flat. Emma smiled widely, looked away at the mirror that was enchanted Regina Mills in her home. She whispered to herself.
"Regina Mills is the unique student I had ever seen." Emma chuckled.
A/N: Chapter 3 will be A Kiss Good Night by Ariffin. It would be coming in my mind any second as I write it away on my notebook. It will be posted in few weeks. Don't forget to review on this one!
