Tortured

A guest asked for a oneshot of Emma being taken and tortured by Owen and Tamara instead of Regina and being saved by her parents.

"This is what we do to your kind here." Owen said savagely as he hooked Emma up to the machine.

"My kind? What the Hell is that meant to mean? What do you think you're doing?!" Emma asked, struggling against the bonds.

"People with magic, Swan. That's why you have this cuff on. It will stop you using it so I can get the answer I want. You don't belong here. As soon as you agree to leave, we'll let you go."

"I can't leave. My whole family is here. They can't leave without forgetting they're my family. You're being ridiculous!" Emma stopped when the bolts hit her. Her whole body writhed in agony.

"Wrong answer." Owen said coldly.

Emma refused to give him what he wanted. No matter how much it hurt. Emma was vaguely aware of someone coming into the room.

"Nobody suspects anything." Tamara. Emma cursed herself, she was right.

"You are in on this." Emma said weakly. I was right." Tamara rolled her eyes.

"Well done Sherlock. But that doesn't matter now. You'll be leaving soon. Magic is unholy, and so it anyone who wields it." Tamara looked up at Owen. "How are things going with the saviour?"

"You know, she's not exactly cooperative." He said, clearly frustrated. He went over to the machine and turned the voltage up. "But, that's all about to change- right Emma?" When Emma didn't answer him, Owen hit the button, causing Emma's body to once again scream out in pain. But that didn't mean she'd go down quietly.

"You have no idea who you're dealing with." Emma said quietly. "My parents…they'll find me."

"Actually no, you have no idea who you're dealing with." Owen responded, getting more and more irate.

"A couple of idiots." Emma answered. She would take them for all they were worth. "My ex's sloppy seconds." Tamara went to slap her, but Owen stopped her.

"No need to bring yourself to her level."

The torture continued for what felt like forever to Emma. She would not agree to leaving though. She'd just got her parents, she wasn't losing them again. Emma was slightly aware of Tamara tapping on the window of the room.

"They found us." She heard her hiss. Emma allowed herself a slight smile. She knew her parents wouldn't leave her.

"Who Neal and the kid?" Owen asked. "I thought that you took care of that."

"Not them." Tamara said quickly. "Her parents. We need to go."

"No, no. I need more time with her."

"Greg if you get caught this whole thing is blown-"

"We can't leave with her still here! She's too powerful! I'm not leaving until she promises to go." Emma saw Owen walk back to the machine, but knew she would be safe soon.

"Fine. Meet me at the rendezvous point when you're done." She heard Tamara tell him before she left.

"I think we're running out of time." Owen growled, turning the dial right up. "I'm going to give you one last chance. Tell me you'll leave this town and never return. Emma only gave a slight shake of her head, unable to speak anymore. "Ok, time's up." Owen said impatiently. He slammed the button, and Emma screamed out, in more pain that she felt was humanly possible. Then, there was gunshots. The pain stopped growing.

"Don't move!" That was her father's voice. Emma allowed herself a small smile. She knew they'd come. Then Emma blacked out.

Charming had a death lock on Greg. He'd heard the way Snow screamed after feeling what Emma was feeling. He'd done that to his daughter. Greg saw Charming momentarily glance at Emma. He took his moment and knocked over the machine, fleeing. Charming went to run after him, wanting him to feel the pain he'd put Emma through.

"Charming!" Snow called him back. "You can't leave her, not like this!" He turned to see Emma unconscious, Snow starting to untie her. Snow looked horrified. But of course she'd felt a slight bit of the torture their daughter had gone through. He knew Snow wanted Greg and Tamara caught too, but first they had to make sure their daughter was safe. "She'll die if we don't get her help." Charming could hear the panic in her voice. He rushed to the other side to help untie her. They would not lose her. Not their baby girl.

"We've gotta get her to Blue." He said. They knew Emma's magic had been stopped. Blue would be the best person to check if Emma was alright. When she was untied, Charming carefully scooped Emma up into his arms. It frightened both of them to see how limp she was. Snow was extra concerned after feeling the pain. They'd put her through so much. If she could have, Snow would have taken in instead of Emma, and she knew Charming would have too. But that wasn't an option just now. All they could do was take her to Blue and pray that she would be alright.
