Seeing her pain
Charmings4ever asked for a oneshot of a prequel to 193 where Snow can feel Emma's pain. Sorry guys, I'm still under the weather (that fabulous wet and cold Scottish weather) and my uni work is piling up so things are going to be a little slow just now :/.
Also, I get a lot of people who get upset if Snow has a moment with Emma and Charming isn't there. Ok, fair enough, you want Charming there. However, I write requests, so if someone asks for a Snow/Emma chapter (which is my most common type of request) that's what I'll write for them. If you want a daddy Charming chapter or a both parents chapter that's fine- but please rather than moan about a previous chapter ask for a request with what you want and I'll write it for you :).
"Are you sure about this?" Charming asked, as Snow got herself settled on the chair. She nodded firmly.
"Charming, there is no doubt here about me doing this. Somewhere our daughter is being held captive and if this gets her back then of course I'll do it." Snow put her head back and kept her eyes open for him. "I'm ready." Charming sighed reluctantly, but took the back of her head in one hand and with the other carefully dropped some of the potion into her eye. Snow blinked in reaction to the sudden intrusion into her eye. She blinked a few more times- nothing. Part of her own and Charming's panic started to ease. Maybe Emma was alright…
But then it started. Pain. Unimaginable pain. Little glimpses came to Snow. A warehouse type environment, straps holding hands down, a strange looking machine…and then finally Emma's face. Clips attached to either side. Features distorted in agony. Snow's own pain from the potion made ten times worse by knowing Emma was going through this.
"Emma!" She cried out, forgetting she wasn't really there.
"Snow!" Charming said, desperately trying to pull her back. Something was very wrong. "Snow what's wrong? What's happening to you both? What are they doing to Emma?" But Snow was unable to answer him. All she could do was scream.
The pain seemed to go on for days. When in reality, the potion's effects lasted around five minutes. Gradually the visions started to fade, and the pain started to ease off until Snow could feel nothing. She couldn't focus on her own feelings right now. Just because she was free from the pain did not mean Emma was. She sat up straight in the chair again and found Charming staring at her. He looked absolutely horrified.
"They have her in the warehouse. They're torturing her Charming!" Snow shouted. She jumped up from the chair. "We have to go right now. I don't know how much longer she'll last under those conditions." Charming nodded, quickly getting up himself. The pair quickly shoved their shoes on and Charming grabbed one last thing- his gun. If he got a chance he would shoot to kill. Nobody tortured his daughter.
