Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 34

*shorter chapter*

Regina's POV:
Robin was able to come home a few days later, which is good because I didn't want to be at that hospital anymore. He has been doing perfectly fine now and is back to his normal self. Not that he wasn't his normal self.

Right now we are in the living room and Henry and Roland are here. I still don't talk to them but Henry understand. Roland on the other hand is still a little confused.

"So mama is hurt?" He questioned.

"Yes little man, mama is hurt right now so we have to be careful. Ok?" Robin said. Roland gave a nod.

"Will she talk?" He asked in a soft voice.

"One day lad," Robin tells him looking up at me.

"Ok. Can I go make a card?" He asked excitedly.

"Sure little man," Robin tells him.

Roland runs upstairs and then comes back down with paper and crayons before sitting at the table to draw a card and to watch the movie we put on earlier.

I smile a little at this. After Leopold, happiness was nothing. My only happiness looked like Snows head on a plate. But if I did accomplish that. Where would I be right now? Still out destroying villages for nothing? 

The more I thought about it, the more guilt I felt.

Leopold always said that I was 'stupid' and 'a dumb teenager.' I would always ask him why he would marry a teenager if this is what he was going to do.

~flashback~
I was laying on my bed. Tears streaming down my face. He did it. He took it. He took my innocence from me by force. It was painful. Really painful.

I had blood on my legs and bed. But I was to weak to move and getting into the bath. I could already feel the soreness between my legs. I knew this was going to hurt later and even worse in the morning.

I finally got up and slowly walked to the bathroom. Every step was painful.

I just wanted the pain gone.

As I sat in the bath I thought of everything that just happened.

It finally 100% hit me. Leopold took my innocence, yes I know he raped me. But it is all just hitting me and I'm finally comprehending what he did.

I'm 17. And lost it to a man 3 times my age. This made me cry again.

I get out of the bath after washing my body really good. I felt disgusted. And used. And dirty.

When I had put my night gown on I heard the bedroom door open. So I walk out thinking it was one of the maids but I was wrong. It was Leopold. I immediately tense up.

He walks over to me and pulls me by the hair.

"Please your majesty, you are hurting me," I whimper.

"Shut up!" He yelled before pushing me to the ground causing me to hit my head on the floor.

"Why most you do this to me?" I asked. Tears coming down my face for the 3rd time.

"Because you are just a stupid girl. I can do whatever I want to you!" He basically screamed. I flinched. "You are just a dumb teenager!"

"Then why marry me?!" I yelled back with tears. I soon regretted yelling at him because he then slapped me. Before grabbing my face.

"Do something like that again, so god help me. I will have every part of you body hurting so bad you won't be able to walk or move for a week straight," he said harshly. Before grabbing my hair and pulling me to the bed. "This will teach you something,"

"Please no Leopold, it still hurts!" I cried. I didn't want this to happen again.

"I don't care. This will teach you not to yell at me," he tells me.

And just has I thought things couldn't get worse. He pushes himself into me and hard. I screamed out in painful and tried to get away.

It hurt. It feels worse than the first time.

"Next time don't yell at me," was the last thing I heard before blacking out.
~end of flashback~

I look over to the table and both Henry and Roland were gone. I look to my side and Robin had a worried look on his face. Panic filled me.

"Where did you go?" He asked.

"W-what a-are you t-talking a-about?" I asked.

"I said your name a good amount of times but you just kept staring into nothing, so I sent the boys go to the park," he tells me. Tears threatened to come out. And Robin noticed so he rubbed his arms around me. "What happened?" He asked.

"L-l-leopold," I said through the sobs.

"Hey, it is ok." He said. "I know you are scared but we can't lose hope."

"B-but Hyde is s-still o-out t-t-there," I cried.

"I know," he said.

"P-p-please d-don't l-leave me a-alone," I cried gripping his shirt.

"I'm not leaving you alone," he said rubbing my back softly. This wasn't a good idea because it made me tired. "Go to sleep, I will wake you when the boys get back from the park," he said.

"O-ok, I-I love you." I tell him.

"I love you too baby. Now sleep," he said. And just like that I was asleep.
