SwanQueen "To love a Dark heart"

Chapter 17 "A castle build from lies"

Nothing could bring down a castle with strong bricks and gold ceiling but a castle that was build with lies well that can easily crumble down by bringing out the truth. Knowing that death was close regina's father wanted to come clean and finally let his soul rest in peace with no heavy weights on his back. He lays on his bed, candles,  windows closed the room filled with sorrow. Regina got down on her knees next to her father holding his hand tightly, her father has trouble speaking and breathing "R-Regina sweetheart" he forces his voice to speak "you must know something before I go" he coughs. Henry could not bear to leave this world knowing his daughter is unhappy "I don't understand you should have been cured, this doesn't make any sense" Regina cried "you're right nothing makes sense dear and I'm going to tell you why". He holds a letter on his hand, Henry suffered from the same thing Regina had and that was fear. He never was brave enough to make his voice be heard or make his own choices like for him to marry someone he truly loved. An arranged marriage and stolen rights was Henry's suffering he didn't want his daughter to go thru the same problem as his. In the letter Henry wrote everything he knew about cora all her death's and plans, since he could never talk to anyone about his issues with cora he would write every night. Henry decided to only give regina the letter where he knew everything about swan "im so sorry my dear, I should have told you this sooner". He hands the letter to regina she seems clueless about the letter but she takes it "what are you talking about father?" Regina's voice broke and her tears streamed down her face one after the other "please father don't leave me, your all i have" she cries. Henry nod's in disapproval "you love someone I know you do, don't make the same mistake I did sweetheart" he hushed "you still have time for your happy ending, you still have a chance at finding paradise don't let it go" he  holds Regina's hand tightly. His last words come out of his mouth "let that be my last will, your happiness" he slowly lets go of Regina's hand closing his eyes and letting out his last breathe "I'm sorry your majesty hes gone" a servant says to regina. Her eyes filled with tears, she leans over to cry on her fathers chest "Daddy.." she sobbed with deep pain hugging him tightly. Over at swans palace the people rejoiced as they had found their lost princess and they finally had hope that things will now get better. The castle was huge but it needed some serious work, spider webs in every corner and dust all over the furniture this was actually the best swan has ever had in her life. She walks into what was suppose to be her room it was quite beautiful but it needed cleaning, her room had a huge window it looked similar to the one on Regina's room she looks out and she had a stunning view of the village. swan slams the window closed leaving the room with darkness "this room makes me sick" she expressed in her face leaving the room and locking the doors furiously. James swans uncle made the big announcement to the whole village tonight is the night they will all celebrate for Emma's return, the people prepared food, decorations and many more for the celebration. Swan had no reason to celebrate shes never been good at hiding her feelings "Emma your dress and accessories are ready for tonight you should start getting ready" says James walking into the guest room "you didn't like your room?" he asked "yes but i need to make some changes in it" she explained "well now that you will be our queen you can do whatever you want with this castle" he says smiling, swan forces herself to smile to be polite. The night is here and everyone is at the castle celebrating with food, wine and dancing everything looked splendid but where was princess swan? as the people got drunk they didn't notice swans absence, she was hiding from everyone sitting on a bench in the back of the castle alone staring at the moon and stars as her depression toke the best of her "why regina? why did you do this to me?" she asked herself as she sighed with pain. Too many questions where still not answered swan didn't pay attention to anything that was going around her she only had regina on her mind and her broken heart, the music and people laughing were loud enough to hear swan was annoyed by it. All those people celebrating for her what was there to celebrate for swan? "there you are" says killian walking towards the bench swan was sitting at "we thought we had lost you again" he jokes around handing a glass of whiskey to swan. she takes the glass with a smile "you should've brought the whole bottle" she says "you could get the whole bottle if you joined the party" killian sits next to swan on the bench admiring the moonlight sky. Swan takes a sip of her drink "you know it would have been great if someone had warned me" she speaks her heart out "i wish someone would just had saved me all this trouble" she continues. Her words were filled with depression and gloomy tone "you think this was all trouble?" killian asked "what else could it be? only darkness and melancholy thats all it brought me" she sorrowed "or what do you think it was?" she turned to killian waiting for his response. Killian has not had too much luck in his love life hes a pirate so he has never wanted to settle down with anyone "you know i may not really falling in love in my life but the love that you and regina have for each other that's true love" killian smiles taking a sip from his drink "why don't you come to the party with us?" he asked "no I'm going to sleep I'm exhausted" swan said. She hands the empty glass to killian "enjoy the party" she says "indeed i will" he walks in back to the party. Swan walks in the castle avoiding the party she walks towards the back where no one can see her "where was my room?" she thought. Anyone could get lost in this huge dark castle, swan makes it to these weird side stairs "where do these stairs lead to" she says to herself. They looked dangerous anyways as soon as swan turns her back she stops "Emma-" someone whispered, swan turned around frightened "who's there?" she yells "Emma" someone whispered again. There was something about that voice that sounded so familiar it was very hard to hear but swan knew that voice "Regina" she yells "is that you?" swan walks slowly up the stairs, the whispers continued but they got quieter and quieter as swan kept walking thru the stairs. Swan makes it a wide mysterious door it felt like she was on the very top of the castle "Regina?" swan whispered, she slowly opens the door and it makes a loud squeaky noise the room was dark and cold "Regina..?" she asked again with a more frightened tone. Swan bumps her foot into something it was so dark she couldn't see where she was walking "Ouch!" it was something made out of wood "what is.." she says trying to get a better view of the object. Suddenly a floating small light appears in the middle of the room swan feels distracted by the light she expands her hand to reach over the light, shes hypnotized by this mysterious magical glowing light. Could this be a good sign? swan finds herself captivated by this what could it be? Swan touches the light and it expands into a human, a human with a hooded cloak the persons face was unclear  "Emma take this" the person says handing swan a apple "what is this? who are you?" swan asked "if you eat this you will have a wish, anything you want" swan takes the apple she glazes at it with mystery. We all knew what swan will wish for but who is this person handing her a apple in the middle of a dark room? "I'm a fairy godmother that wants to help you get your happy ending, just take one bite and your wish will come true" swan was so heartbroken she needed something to believe in something that could get her back to regina. Swan bites the apple and while she chews the apple in her mouth shes making her wish, the wish of having regina back to her. Swan smiling swallows the apple and starts to feel a burning feeling in her throat making its way quickly thru her whole body. Swan looses sight and her balance, she falls to the ground unconscious letting go of the apple in her hand.
