Chapter 8: Dancing in the Dark
During the morning, the blonde girl was working on the paperwork and felt her magic tingly through the house. She knew that Regina would come in the room any minutes now and paused her writing until the door opened, and Emma looked up at the brunette girl. Regina was in a blank state while she walked into the room and sat down on the couch. The blonde girl knitted her brows and heard the redhead woman's voice from the doorway then looked away at Ella.
"Regina's exhausted from the magic lessons. She's been practicing awful good. I think that she needs some break from doing work with Rumpel. Now, I am leaving her to you for the rest of the day."
"Oh thank you, Ella. But you have to stay here because we have some questions for you to answer. Also, I'm not sure if Regina is up to it."
"I'm all right." The brunette girl said with a blank stare. Other ladies looked away at the brunette girl then knew that Regina need some rest and shook their heads at the same time. The brunette girl found herself narrowing at them who shook their heads. Emma rolled her eyes and raised her tone. Ella winced at the harsh tone and felt bad.
"Regina, you need some rest. You practiced the magic with Rumpel for three hours. Go back to your room or you will disobey my orders."
"She's right. Come on, let's go before it cause her to get angry." The redhead woman said. Regina was silent and found the twinkles in the emerald eyes then knew that it was a bad gut to not get a harsh tone on her and decided to leave the room with Ella for her rest. Emma was satisfied with Regina's silent treatment and waved her dismissal hand to Ella to leave her alone with the paperwork.
Several minutes later, Rumpel barged in the office, the blonde girl growled and whipped to look at him with a glare. The gray-haired man mocked his surrender and spoke lightly. Emma gestured him to sit down on the couch and got up then walked around to lean against her desk and snapped the doors to shut it with a silence spell.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you with your paperwork. But I like to be first to inform you. Good news or bad news?"
"Bad news," Emma said with a commanding tone. The oldest man nodded and explained right away.
"Cora and her army are coming to attack the full town of Storybrooke."
"What's else?" The blonde girl nodded and continued. Rumpelstiltskin looked away at the window behind Emma and spoke in a concerned tone.
"The army is full of the villains included Maleficent and Cruella De Vil. But Ursula is on our side."
"Shit. This can't be good." The blonde girl growled and crumbled her hands in the fists.
"Indeed, dearie. What can we do?" Rumpelstiltskin asked.
"Send the emergency calls to the districts and tell Ruby to gather her wolves to be prepared," Emma commanded him to do the errands. The oldest man understood her orders and replied back.
"Yes, your royal highness."
"Oh, please tell Snow White and Prince Charming as well. Back to the good news." The blonde girl nodded with her dismissal wave and continued.
"Good news. Regina has been practicing her magic, and I observed on her powers. I am sure that she could beat her mother with her powers. No one did it that before you, of course." Rumpelstiltskin smiled at his good news and explained right away. The blonde girl was satisfied to hear and asked.
"When will she be ready for that battle?"
"As long as she finds herself to be prepared. No doubts." The oldest man shrugged and had no doubts about the brunette girl and said.
"Great. As long as you train her in the advanced training with no hesitations." Emma continued with her nod. Rumpelstiltskin nodded with a response.
"Yes, your royal highness."
"What's else to tell me before I dismiss you?" The blonde girl arched her eyebrows and asked. Rumpelstiltskin shook his head and heard Emma's voice again to command him.
"Notify me when the leaders of the districts come up with a meeting. Let them come in the living room immediately. Tell Ella too."
"Will do, your royal highness." The oldest man nodded while replying to his boss.
"You are dismissed, Rumpel. Thank you for being my supporter." Emma smiled at him and said. Rumpelstiltskin waved his hand to dismiss the compliment from her and continued with a wink.
"No. I owe you a favor once enough since I saved your life."
"Wrong answer. You showed me who you are to me, and I respect you enough with a purpose of powers." The blonde girl arched her eyebrows and said with a confirmation. The oldest man smiled and bowed out with a response.
"Thank you, Emma. I need to go do the errand before the battle begins."
"Very well. Oh, send Mr. Mills on your way." The blonde girl informed him right away before she let him leave her office.
Rumpelstiltskin nodded and left the room to find Mr. Mills in the backyard with Ruby then told him to come see the blonde girl. Ruby smiled at him and waved her hand then left with Rumpelstiltskin to get information from Emma.
Meanwhile, Ella sent Regina back to her bedroom and felt something's wrong then walked inside the brunette girl's bedroom and looked through the windows. Regina tilted her head and walked beside her then heard the redhead woman's voice. It startled her enough to know what's going on.
"Something is coming."
"What do you mean?" Regina asked.
"It's a bad news. I can tell. I have to go find my husband. Will you be ok here?" The redhead woman shook her head and continued.
"Yes, for once. I need some rest like Emma said." The brunette girl sighed and replied with her rolling eyes.
"She's right, Ella. She needs some rest, but I will stay here until one of you call me for an immediate meeting. You need to find Rumpelstiltskin, and I gave him the orders. Go now." The blonde girl stood behind them and spoke lightly. The redhead woman looked away and nodded then gave a small smile at Regina and left the bedroom to find Rumpelstiltskin.
"What's going on?" Regina asked with her concerns. Emma looked away from the window to her and frowned with a response.
"It's your mother."
"What? What did she do?"
"She is there with her army to attack the full town of Storybrooke. I think that she is searching for something important to her."
"Is it me? Or is it my father?"
"No. I can't explain that I could tell you. But I think that your dad know what Cora wanted."
"Emma is right. I knew what she wanted is absorbing the magic powers from you both. Completely. But the problem is that she couldn't have access to Regina's powers at all because I already asked someone to bind her out." Mr. Mills came in while listening to the ladies' voices from the bedroom and replied back. The blonde girl looked away at the oldest man and went impressed with his knowledge. Regina went dumbfounded when she heard her father's response and looked away at the dark clouds on the sky. Emma felt her magic be tingling right away and continued.
"Regina, do you feel your magic to tingle?"
"Yes. It stings."
"It's from the dark magic that causes you to absorb the powers. Don't worry, it will fade away once it stops."
"How did you know?"
"Because I found myself to be a witch. No one knew that my family had two sisters who were witches long time ago. It skipped the generation to pass it to me. I have their powers to restore the magic but now, you know that I'm a vampire. It's impossible to be both at the same time but the powerful teacher, Ursula, trained me when I was 18."
"Wait a minute, Ursula The Sea Witch, comes by Vanessa Johnson?" Mr. Mills asked with his widened eyes. The ladies raised their eyebrows at him with a shocked expression. Emma wondered how Mr. Mills knew her well and continued.
"How did you know her? Yes, she came by Vanessa Johnson-Dames. She just got married few months ago."
"Long story. But for a short version, we came to be the college buddies. Well, we technically were the bar buddies from time to time."
"Oh, will I get any hilarious stories from you both?" Emma smirked and asked him. Mr. Mills chuckled and shook his head with a small reply.
"No."
"What the fuck!? Ursula taught you how to do magic too. What's else do I need to know about the supernatural?" Regina glared at both of them and others gulped by her outburst. Mr. Mills scratched his bald head and sighed deeply. The blonde girl swallowed a lump in her throat and replied carefully.
"There are a lot of the supernatural out there. Witches, Werewolves, Vampires and others."
"Others?"
"Trust me. You don't want to meet them." Rumpelstiltskin spoke in a commanding tone. Emma nodded in agreement with him. Mr. Mills went silent and pale when he heard the words, 'other'. Regina was not sure that if she could trust the oldest man and looked away at the blonde girl who was having her straight face.
"I think that I got a lot of information today. I need some rest." The brunette girl said while rubbing her forehead. Others nodded except the blonde girl who was still staring at her with a wondering thought. Rumpelstiltskin smiled at her and nodded at others then left the room. Mr. Mills looked away at the blonde girl and asked right away.
"Will we be safe here?"
"Yes, you both are. You are exactly under my command when someone come to tell me when the battle come closer or arrives."
"How did you do that if we are under your command?" He asked with his curiosity. Regina looked back and forth at them with her confused state.
"Easy to say it to you both. I'm a ruler of Vampires and Illusionists. Mr. Mills, I'm sure that you know their famous names are Snow White and Prince Charming." Emma said.
"Oh my God," Mr. Mills said with his widened eyes in a shocked expression. Emma nodded and continued.
"I'm much in a second co-captain to them, but I am considered as their general captain of the army as well. I control overseas to the districts and werewolves. Ruby is under my wing woman, Ella, and she is in control with the wolf pack because her father is an alpha with Ruby's grandmother, Granny."
"It meant you are their heir to the White Kingdom and it is full of the vampires?"
"Included Illusionists," Mr. Mills replied with a nod.
"Father, how did you know Snow White and Prince Charming?"
"They are my father's side of the family. I think that you need to get some rest. We will tell you everything after you had your rest. Trust me." The oldest man said with a concerned tone. Emma nodded and gestured her to the bed. Regina exhaled in the air and walked back to the bed then crawled on the mattress then knocked her out. The blonde girl stared at her for a while and spoke lightly.
"Mr. Mills, I'm sure that you know what to do before the battle arrives. Don't you?"
"Yes. I think it's time for me to train my supernatural. Please look at my daughter with your protection."
"Will do. Notify me when Snow White and Prince Charming arrives."
"Yes, your royal highness." Mr. Mills bowed out and kissed on Regina's forehead then left the bedroom to find Ella to get some information in the lounge. It left Emma to stand in front of the brunette girl on the bed and exhaled in the air then looked away at the glass windows. Her magic started to tingle through the day, and she felt like she vomited the food from the morning.
For Regina, she heard every word from her father and Emma's conversation while she was pretending to sleep and wondered what her father had in his supernatural. She remembered the conversation with Rumpelstiltskin about the Illusionists and thought it was ridiculous but found out it was true all along. She has been feeling scared when she comes to fight against her blood relative, Mother. Cora Mills was the death of her thoughts when she struggled to remove her face away in her dreams.
Meanwhile, Ruby, Ella, Rumpelstiltskin and Mr. Mills sat down on the couches and went to discuss the plans about the battles with Cora and her army in Storybrooke. The redhead woman cleared her throat and spoke lightly. Others looked away at her and wondered what they had done on their plans.
"Is it dangerous if Regina protect the town while she is alone with her magical powers?"
"It's the possibility but if she needs some help, then it would be going to be Emma for once," Rumpelstiltskin confirmed right away. Ruby gulped and widened her eyes then took a glance on Mr. Mills, who was nervous and spoke in a concerned tone.
"Will Emma know that it was Regina's fate to defend her mother?"
"Of course. It's part of the prophecy." Mr. Mills said with confirmation from the oldest man next to him. The ladies looked away at each other and hesitantly nodded. Rumpelstiltskin exhaled in the air and looked away at the oldest man in the business suit then asked.
"Will you be ready to train yourself with your supernatural? I'm sure that Regina didn't know that you are a Hybrid Wolf."
"Trust me. I grew up in the wolf pack until I became the human when I fell in love with a witch." Mr. Mills spat back. Ruby went dumbfounded when she found out that Regina's father is a Hybrid Wolf. Ella paled at the thought when she concluded that he was the famous Hybrid Wolf after Graham Humbert.
"Aren't you the infamous The Son of the Ruler?"
"Yes, I am."
"Wow. I couldn't believe that I met the son of the ruler!?" Ruby exclaimed. Ella hesitantly nodded with her widened eyes. Rumpelstiltskin arched his eyebrows and continued with his discussion.
"Mr. Mills, are you going to train with Ella or Ruby today?"
"I am going to train with Graham's good friend, Silverberg in three days' time."
"I know where he lives. He moved out a lot because of Cora's army." Ella said. The oldest man smiled at the redhead woman and nodded. Ruby looked away at Rumpelstiltskin and spoke lightly.
"What can I do while Ella and Mr. Mills are away on the wolf business?"
"You stay here to rule your wolf pack in a week while I am with Mr. Mills in the enterprise. Don't worry. I will get your call immediately if it is the emergency." The redhead woman responded. Rumpelstiltskin nodded with a small smile. Mr. Mills looked away at the brunette woman and spoke in a soft tone.
"I can trust you with my loyalty to look at my daughter's safety as long as Emma is with her. If you lose her out of your sight, then you will be known for my punishment."
"I wouldn't do that to you, sir. I respect your wish."
"Thank you," Mr. Mills said. Ella looked away at Rumpelstiltskin, who was thinking about their plans and spoke in a concerned tone.
"Rumpel? Are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm good. Something is up in Storybrooke. I can tell by a smell of the essence."
"What's it?"
"Someone got killed." He responded with a blank stare and looked away at Ruby then spoke again.
"Ruby, get your wolf pack to be prepared and go see what's going in Storybrooke. Notify Emma or me immediately."
The brunette woman nodded and left to the backyard porch to demand several men on the way to Storybrooke. She looked up at the glass windows that she can see the shadow of Emma, who was watching the wolves in the open field.
Rumpelstiltskin watched the brunette woman to do her errands and looked away at his wife, Ella then spoke lightly.
"I think that you, Emma and Regina need to talk soon when Snow White and Prince Charming arrives for the emergency meeting."
"Yes, Rumpel. I will do it before Mr. Mills, and I leave on the wolf business tonight."
"Good. The plan is settled. Mr. Mills, I believe that you need some rest before you go on with your full energy. The full moon is coming up in two days."
"Thank you for everything."
"No problem, Mr. Mills," Rumpelstiltskin said. Mr. Mills waved his dismissal hand and continued.
"Please call me Henry if you insist."
Will do, Henry." The oldest man smiled and nodded with a response.
They knew that the conversation ended and went with their flows around in the estate for a while. Ella smiled at him and nodded then left the lounge to find Emma in Regina's bedroom in seconds flat. The blonde girl was standing by the glass windows and heard the footsteps behind her then spoke lightly.
"Is the plan settled?"
"Yes, your royal highness. Is Regina sleeping?" The redhead woman said while looking away at the brunette girl on the bed.
"She is resting well. I can tell her magic started to recharge the energy. Since she finally knocked her out on the bed after having a conversation with her father and I. It's been a difficult time for her to absorb the information in a week." Emma nodded with a reply.
"Yes, I believe so. Regina have been pleasing herself around in your estate since she arrived here." Ella looked away at the blonde girl and spoke lightly with a smile. The blonde girl looked around to see her and continued.
"I know, Ella. Last question before you leave."
"What is it?" The redhead woman started to pay attention to her and asked.
"What are the bounded dreams?" Emma looked away at Regina on the bed and spoke in a concerned tone. Ella understood and explained right away.
"Bounded Dreams are the two people who have magic or not, and they're once connected by a True Love's Act. They can share the memories through their dreams if they are willing to show another person."
"Regina and I have the bounded dreams lately." The blonde girl narrowed her eyes and spoke lightly.
"It meant you found your true love, but I'm sure that Regina would get more information on the bounded dreams if she is interested in reading the books I can lend it to you guys." The redhead woman was surprised with Emma's response and confirmed it right away. The blonde girl looked away at the redhead woman and asked.
"Please do it."
"Sure, will be right back." Ella nodded with a response and turned away until Emma spoke lightly.
"Do it later before you leave with Mr. Mills."
"Will do. I'm going to cook the dinner." The redhead woman turned back and nodded then said.
"Ok. Get me soup." Emma asked with her permission.
"Yes, your royal highness." Ella nodded and left the room after looking down at the brunette girl who was still sleeping. The blonde girl sighed and looked away at the glass windows for a while.
On the bed, Regina was still dreaming about in the ballroom. It was different than she had seen Emma in her memories. The brunette girl felt odd when she arrived in the big castle with her red evening gown and the black lace belt around her waist. She walked in the high stilettos and entered gracefully. Her brunette hair was in updo look with the regal flowers.
The castle was full of the lanterns everywhere on the brick walls. Regina looked away behind her and found that she was alone on the red carpet then took a glance in her eyes. It was the masks on the table. The brunette girl was confused and looked at the message board, 'pick one'. Regina looked down at the variety of the colors of the masks. The brunette girl chose the stunning silver and black Venetian half mask and tied the knots behind her head. It fitted her total appearance to be a belle of the red.
She felt nervous when she left the table to enter the big engraving flowers on the metal doors with the vines everywhere. Regina came in from outside and found herself in a big masquerade party with the masked people in red, black and white formal clothes. The brunette girl looked away to her right to find the beautiful variety of the food on the long table and took a glance on her left side then found the masked people sitting around in the round tables. The lights were on the ceiling, beaming everywhere on the motion and it was red and white.
Regina found the party to be interesting while she was looking around at the people who were having their blank faces and dancing to the song that she didn't recognize it at all. Until, she got something in her eye and looked away at the blonde woman in the black tuxedo with the white handkerchief and the ECS engraved on it. The blonde curls were in updo hair with braids. The brunette girl blinked several times, and she was sure that it was Emma in the black tuxedo in the safe distance. The blonde woman was in the corner chatting with few people Regina didn't recognize, and it made the brunette woman walking closer to see her. But someone caught her arm and turned away from Emma to the dance floor.
The brunette girl growled at someone who dragged her away from the blonde girl and turned around to find her half-sister, Zelena Mills. The redhead woman in the emerald dress with the white feather mask and the black heels was sneering at some people that they were dragged away then spoke lightly.
"Regina, do not come closer to Emma Swan."
"Why?" The brunette girl was confused when she was dragging by the stranger in an emerald dress then continued.
"She is busy." Zelena was carefully walking around to look out for Cora and the black guards to hide them from the attention then spoke lightly.
"Tell me how. We are at the party." Regina scoffed and said with her sarcasm. The redhead woman rolled her eyes and continued with a soft tone.
"This is Emma's Masquerade Party. So what are you doing here?"
"I am coming to talk to her." The brunette girl pulled her arm away and confirmed right away. Zelena shook her head and confirmed back.
"You can't."
"Why?" Regina sneered with a growl tone. Zelena sighed and spoke in a whisper while looking out for the black guards and Cora.
"Because our mother is watching us. By the way, my name is Zelena. I am your half-sister."
"How did you know my name?" The brunette girl asked with her concerned tone when she barely know the stranger to drag her away from the ballroom.
"Because I knew you well since you were born in our mother's arms. I've been watching you for a while. I made a promise." The redhead woman looked away at her and spoke lightly with a smile. Regina arched her eyebrow and said.
"What promise did you make?"
"I'm promised to not kill you and Emma based on our mother's orders," Zelena growled at her mother's antics and spoke in a harsh tone.
"Are you a prisoner of Cora Mills?" Regina asked with a suspicious tone.
"Shush Regina! I'm not a prisoner of hers. I'm never hers at all. I came to save you from the chaos. Just dance away and mingle until Emma leaves here." The redhead woman glared at her and shushed with her whisper. The brunette girl shrugged and asked again.
"Oh, why?"
"Because of Cora, she is here right over the drinks." Zelena pointed to the oldest woman standing in the purple evening gown with her fruit punch. Regina looked away at her and widened her eyes when Cora caught her eyes. The redhead woman gripped the brunette girl's hand and dragged away from their sights of Cora. The brunette girl felt scared and whimpered when Zelena gripped tighter. Regina looked back at the spot where Emma stood, but the blonde girl was gone. The redhead woman stopped and looked everywhere to see Cora there, but she found nothing and sighed in relief.
"What about Emma?"
"She is under the control of Cora. We couldn't do anything at all to save her out from her. Trust me." The redhead woman shook her head and spoke in a harsh tone. Regina winced at her voice and whispered.
"How do you know that Cora control her?"
"Because Cora is a Queen of the Vampires Cliché. She formed her group to build an army against us, the heroes." Zelena sighed and rubbed her forehead then continued.
"Oh my god, I need to see Emma, please." Regina went to panic and half-screamed.
"No. I can't let you go." The redhead woman gripped the brunette girl's arms tightly and spoke lightly. The brunette girl started to tear and asked.
"Why?"
"Because you can't get out with her unless –" Zelena caught someone in her eye and froze. Until she looked away at the black guards coming on their way then dragged them away to the safe place. The brunette girl widened her eyes and ran faster with Zelena toward the mystery place. They were safe once, and the redhead woman breathed in a ragged pace then looked away at the brunette girl who was closing her eyes and asked.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm all right. You?" Regina nodded and continued. Zelena looked away at the room and spoke lightly.
"I think I am good. We are safe."
"Who are they?" The brunette girl knitted her brows when she remembered the black guards coming on their way and inquired with a concerned tone. The redhead woman looked away at her and continued.
"They are Cora's black guards. They are dangerous."
"What do they do?" Regina tilted her head and asked with her curiosity. Zelena sighed and explained right away.
"They produce the dreamshade arrows."
"Dreamshade?" The brunette girl was confused about the term and spoke lightly.
"Ask Rumpelstiltskin. He knew that one." The redhead woman nodded and confirmed right away. Regina was shocked that Zelena knew him and spoke in a concerned tone.
"Wait a minute? You knew him?"
"Yes, he is my father." The redhead woman gave a small smile and replied with a soft tone. Regina was surprised and replied back.
"Oh."
"Yes, so you can't go with Emma to get out of here. Trust me. Please don't take Emma unless you broke the contract."
"What's the contract?" The brunette girl was curious about the contract and hesitantly asked. Zelena froze and spoke in an amused tone.
"No one knew that the contract was Cora's, but it is more powerful."
"Like what?" The brunette girl knitted her brows and quipped.
"Blood Magic," Zelena said.
Regina wrapped her thoughts in her head, felt dizzy and held her hand on the redhead woman's forearm then exhaled in the air for several minutes. Zelena was concerned about her half-sister's state of well-being and swallowed a lump in her throat until she felt the chill blowing on her neck and looked away at the red eyes. The brunette girl heard the exhale from somebody in the room with them and looked up at the red eyes. She immediately knew that eyes and spoke lightly.
"Emma? Is that you?"
"Yes." The blonde girl nodded with a response.
"Your eyes gave the creeps on Zelena. Turn it off please."
Zelena was shaken when she was staring at the red eyes and found out that she was attracted to the transformation from the red to emerald eyes. The redhead woman went dumbfounded and looked away at Regina, who begged Emma to get back to the average person. The brunette girl went into a relief and looked away at the redhead woman who was still shaking then back to the blonde girl.
Emma stepped back three times away from them, and the song started to echo in the room. The redhead woman was confused when she heard the music. Regina looked into everywhere to follow the sounds until she looked back at the blonde girl who was opening her mouth to sing the first verse.
Come on I wanna dance in the dark
Come on we gonna light up the night
Come on I wanna dance in the dark
Come on we gonna light up the night
The redhead woman grasped on the brunette girl and looked at her with a glare, 'that is a trap.' Regina shook her head and mouthed, this is not a trap. I know her. Emma tilted her head, turned away to walk back to the door and looked over her shoulder then opened the door and came out in the hallway. The brunette girl looked back at Zelena and gestured her to get out then followed the blonde girl on the way. The second verse came out from somewhere, so Regina and Zelena heard through their ears.
Underdogs dance in the middle of the night
Can see the night skies in the mirror of your eyes
If you don't dance make sure you got the rhythm
Make sure that your heartbeat beats with the rhythm
I wanna run wild in the middle of the night
Right under the moon, bodies glowing in the night
Nothing in between our skins but the rhythm
Make sure that your heartbeat beats with the rhythm
The night-time is the right time
Emma led the ladies to the ballroom where they entered for their arrivals. Zelena walked farther to look at the people who stared with a blank face to them. Regina was absorbing on the blonde girl's outfit and never saw the red tuxedo with the black handkerchief in the pocket. The brunette girl walked to Emma's spot in the middle of the dance floor. The redhead woman was shocked that Regina was in the middle with Emma around the blank faces of the people included Cora on the throne. The third verse came out from the singer on the stage.
I wanna dance in the dark and never stop
We gonna light up the night like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound don't be alarmed
Move move move
Dancing in the dark
The black guards came upon Zelena and gripped her forearms on the force. The redhead woman looked away and struggled to get out of the hold but stuck with it. Regina was not paying attention to everyone and focused on the blonde girl who was leading her to dance in the slow waltz. Everyone watched them in the circle of the dance. The brunette girl hid her shock that she could dance in the professional dance with Emma. The blonde girl smirked at her, and they got in the intense gaze while they waltzed in the circle of the people included Cora and Zelena. The fourth verse came out from the boy's voice who was beside Zelena.
I wanna dance in the dark and never stop
We gonna light up the night like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound don't be alarmed
Move move move
Dancing in the dark
The brunette girl felt a shiver through touching on the blonde girl's hand while she was dancing with her. Regina realized that they were dancing in the air but not touching the ground then looked down below them and gasped. Emma squeezed her hand and whispered in her ear, 'it's ok'. The brunette girl looked at her and nodded with a small smile. Zelena tried to get out, but the black guards gripped her tighter. Cora stood up from the throne and walked through the blank faces of the crowd and sang in the fifth verse. Regina looked away at her mother and widened her eyes. The oldest woman mischievously smirked.
I wanna dance in the dark (come on)
We gonna light up the night (come on)
I wanna dance in the dark (come on)
We gonna light up the night
The blonde girl pressed her chest on Regina's chest and whispered in her ear once again, 'Don't worry. You will get out before Cora catch you. The brunette girl swallowed a lump in her throat and hesitantly nodded then looked away at the redhead woman in the hold of the black guards. Zelena shook her head violently and looked away at her mother who was staring at her back with a glare. The blonde girl went into a flow with Regina in the waltz in the air. The sixth verse came out from the crowds.
I wanna dance in the dark and never stop
We gonna light up the night like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound don't be alarmed
Move move move
Dancing in the dark
The oldest woman walked to the spot where Emma and Regina descended themselves down on the ground. The brunette girl gripped her hand on the blonde girl's hand tightly. Emma felt the magic tingling through their connection together and looked away at the oldest woman who was walking toward them. Zelena gulped and widened her eyes when Cora came to lean forward onto Regina's spot and sang the last verse. The blonde girl slowly touched on the oldest woman's forearm and gave a blast through the magic. The crowds continued to sing with the oldest brunette. Zelena and Regina went dumbfounded when Emma touched on Cora's forearm with magic to break the blood magic.
I wanna dance in the dark and never stop
We gonna light up the night like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound don't be alarmed
Move move move
Dancing in the dark
Emma looked away at the black guards and sneered with her fangs. Her red eyes went glowing. The redhead woman finally got out from their hold and went to grab Regina away from them then ran out from the ballroom. The brunette girl yelled to get Emma's attention and watched the crowd coming at Emma in the tight space. The blonde girl looked away at her and gave a small smile until the group went over to her. Regina screamed, and Zelena heard her bloody scream while they were running away from the castle to the woods.
Until, they finally arrived in the woods, the redhead woman went to embrace her half-sister tightly and shushed at her. Regina cried when she saw Emma starting to disappear in the crowds. They didn't realize that Cora was watching them with her mischievous smile.
The brunette girl finally fell asleep after crying for the blonde girl and felt something dragging her away from the dreams. Regina shot up in the bed and found herself in her room. Emma was standing there near the glass windows. Ella was sitting in the chair and watching her with a concerned look. The brunette girl looked away at the table in front of her, and it was the dinner. Hearing the blonde girl's voice, it made her look up at her and gulped.
"Are you having a nightmare?"
"Yes and no." The brunette girl said. Emma was confused about 'no' then asked.
"What is no?"
"I saw Zelena, you and Cora," Regina spoke in a shaking voice.
"Zelena Mills?" Ella asked with her widened eyes. Emma turned around to look at the brunette girl who was nodding. The blonde girl looked away at the redhead woman who was shocked. Regina twisted her neck and got up to get her dinner on the table.
"It is impossible." The redhead woman whispered to no one. The brunette girl heard her and asked.
"Where is Rumpelstiltskin?"
"A meeting with the army," Emma said while walking to the table and sitting down on the ground. Regina nodded and ate her soup then thought about Zelena and spoke lightly.
"Zelena is on our side, does she?"
"Yes. She is a captain of the Illusionists." Emma responded. Regina tilted her head and asked.
"Did Mr. Mills know that she is my half-sister?"
"No. I didn't know." The blonde girl shrugged and continued. The brunette girl nodded with a response.
