Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 18

Regina's POV:
It has been 2 months since Robins death and I haven't moved from my bed unless I'm going to the bathroom. I feel numb to everything. I want to cry but nothing comes out anymore, I want to yell but my voice doesn't want to work anymore.

Granny comes over every day since, to take care of me. She knew if she didn't, I would lay in bed all day and watch tv and do nothing. Snow, Emma and Henry come over as well and try to talk to me but I don't say anything. They also bring Roland. But they don't come over as much. David comes over to every day about the time Granny does in the morning to make sure I'm ok.

I still don't talk.

-another month later-

Granny's POV:
3 months now and nothing on Robin. I have never seen Regina so lost before. She so quiet, and lost, it scares me more than when she was the Evil Queen.

I was walking to her house when I seen David. David always is here in the morning when I first come, he makes sure we are ok. He also comes over around his lunch time and then after he gets off work. This all happened about 2 weeks ago. But it is ok. It will get Regina use to having a man besides Robin around, if Robin ever comes back.

"Hey David," I said walking down the path to the door.

"Hello Granny," he said knocking 3 times loud enough for Regina to hear before opening the door. He holds it open for me and I tell him thank you before heading up the stairs. David right behind me.

We head into Regina's room with a soft knock. I peak in and see her watching tv, so David and I walk in fully.

"How are you feeling today, sweetheart," I said in a soft voice, and sitting down on the side of the bed next to her. What she did next shocked both David and I.

"G-g-good," she stuttered barely above a whisper. I think she is still scared to talk, which it why she stuttered.

"You talked," David said soft with a smile. This caused Regina to look up scared. "No, no, no. It is a good thing. Great actually," he said.

"R-r-really?" She stuttered again.

"Yes, Regina you are talking again it might not be much but you are talking." I told her.

'Gold used magic that made me stop talking after I wouldn't listen. It would wear off sooner or later I just didn't know it would be soon.' she wrote.

"And the stuttering? Is that because your scared or because of the magic?" I asked.

"M-magic, and b-because I'm a-a-also S-S-scared," she said. I look at David a smile, he smiles back.

"It is good to hear your voice again. Now what do you want for breakfast?" I asked. She shakes her head. "You need to eat," I told her.

"N-n-no," she said.

"Ok, I'm going to ask a question," I told her, she nods her head. "Why do you not want to eat?"

"B-b-because l-Leo-" she stop because she got frustrated, so she wrote the rest of it down. 'Because Leopold would rape me and then let Gold torture me after I ate every time. That is how I knew something bad was going to happen.'

"Nothing bad it going to happen. You just need something in your system I don't care if it is just one bite of something," I told her. She just looks at me for a second before nodding her head.

"I'm going to head to work and check on Leopold and help Emma with the whole Robin thing. Hopefully we can find something today, that will lead us to him," he said. We said our goodbyes before I went into the kitchen and made her a sandwich. I make my way back up the stairs and I to her room.

"Here sweetheart," I said handing her the plate.

"T-thank y-y-you," she said.

"Ok, I'm going to leave now and come back later," I told her. She looked up at me scared before shaking her head. "No? Regina we do this everyday. Why act weird all of a sudden?" I questioned. She pointed to her head. I looked at her confused for a second. "Nightmare?"

"Y-y-yea. G-gold S-s," she got frustrated again because of the stuttering.

"You will get the hang of it again. The magic will soon wear off like you said," I told her.

Robins POV:
There was a bright white light then it all fade, and it looked like we where in normal Storybrooke. We were definitely back in normal Storybrooke.

"Here we are," Facilier said.

"Thank you, for getting me back home." I told him.

"I know how it is to lost family. Just doing a favour to get you back to yours." He told me.

"I appreciate it,"

"If you need any more help find me," he said before use magic to disappear.

Regina. I have to see her and make sure she is ok. So I ran to her house. When I got there I stood outside for a second before running inside. I looked in the kitchen, living room, the bathroom, and her home office. I looked through the whole house and nothing. So I ran to the sheriffs station.

David's POV:
Another week, and Regina has been missing again for 3 of the days. We where all that the sheriffs station.

"When need to find her," Granny said.

"I know but who do we even start?" I said back.

"With Gold," we all looked at the door. Robin stood there, alive.

"You're alive," Emma said shocked.

"Yes I am but when need to find Gold," he said.

"Gold a cell locked by magic," I stated.

"But he could get out with the dagger," Belle said as she walked in.
