Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 38

*TW: mention a little of eating disorder and maybe other mental health issues*

Regina's POV:
I didn't want to do this. But Robin said it will help put Hyde away. Right now we were all going over the plan one more time.

"Ok, David go spread the word," Granny said. And with that David left.

"Can Regina and I get a minute please?" Robin asked them. They nodded before leaving my home office and walked to the living room. I whimper. "You're going to be ok, I promise I couldn't let him take you from me for long," he said. "Do you want to change before we do this?" He asked.

"N-n-no. I w-want to keep y-your h-hoodie o-on," I whisper. I didn't want to take it off if this was going to be the only comfort I'm going to get from him when Hyde takes me.

"You will be ok," he said. I wrap my arms around his neck. He then leaned his forehead against mine.

"W-where are t-the b-boys?" I asked.

"Tuck took them a little bit before we went over the plan again," he said softly. I nodded.

We heard a knock on the doors. We look up to see Granny.

"David texted," she said. I whimpered.

"Ok," Robin said. She turns and walks away.

"Kiss?" I asked. He smiled before kissing me in the lips.

"You got this, ok?" He said. I nodded. We walk into the living room.

"You ready?" Snow asked. I shook my head. Robin kissed my head.

"Look we have to hide before Hyde gets here," Granny said. They agree. They go upstairs and out of view.

I had tears in my eyes. Robin was going to have to leave me and I didn't want that.

"No. Don't cry," Robin said.

"I d-don't want you t-to g-go," I cried.

"I know," he said.

"What if h-he h-hits m-me?" I asked crying, I hid my face in his chest.

"Regina look at me," he said. I shake my head no. "Come on beautiful, please." He said. I finally looked up at him. "Hyde isn't going to have you for long ok? We will be right there and if he does hit you. I will probably kill him," he said. That made me laugh a little. "There is that little laugh I die to hear everyday," he said. I wipe the tears and nod. "You ready?" He asked.

"Y-y-yup," I said softly.

"Ok I love you beautiful," he said leaning his forehead against mine.

"I love you too bubba," I whisper.

He grabbed my hand before letting them go. I whimpered. He gave me a sad look before going up the stairs with the others. My heart started to race when he was out of view. I just wanted to cry.

The door swung open and I jumped. Hyde stood there for a minute before walking over to me and grabbing my arm tightly. I whimpered.

"Is anyone else with you?" He asked. I shook my head no. "Good let's go," he said. Before dragging me out of the house.

I look back at the house, I just wanted Robin. He took my to a cabin I don't even know where it is in Storybrooke.

Mr. Hyde's POV:
I had Regina back. I take her and drag her to the room Leopold was in before pushing her to the ground. She whimpered but I could care less about hurting her.

"What is she doing here?" Leopold asked.

"To do something's for me," I said. Rubbing my hand up her thigh. She had tears in her eyes but I just keep pushing my hand further up her thigh. "You are mine now," I said.

She shakes her head.

"You don't have a say. You are my mine whether you like it or not," I asked getting to the top of her thigh and squeezing it.

She whimpers. I just squeeze it again. Causing her to pul it away from me. I grab her by the chin.

"You do not pull away from me," I said before pushing her back. Her head hit the ground pretty hard but I didn't care.

I grab the cuff out of my pocket and put it in her so she couldn't use magic. I walked over to the table and grab a knife.

Regina's POV:
He walked over to the table and grabbed something. I don't know what it was. But I know it probably isn't something good. My heart started to pick up because I was scared what he was going to do.

He then walks over to the fire he had going. A knife is what he had. He put the blade in the fire to heat it up. He then pulls it out of the fire and walks over to Leopold, he looked at me smirking before cutting Leopold's thigh.

Leopold screamed making me cover my ears, bring my knees up to my chest and rocking back and forth. I hated when people screamed or yelled around me.

My mother would always yell at me for being "too fat." So I stopped eating. And if I were to eat is would be a salad. My mother would also yell and say I was ugly and I needed to wear make-up so that men actually liked me. And Leopold only made it worse. He would yell at me for just going out to the garden. Or if I spelt past 8:30am. Or even getting out of bed to use the bathroom. And then they both would hit me afterwards.

So now when people yell or scream at me or around me I get scared. Scared I did something wrong and that I'm going to get hit again.

I had tears streaming down my face, whispering Robins name under my breath.

"What are you whispering over there?" Hyde asked. But I didn't answer. Whenever this happens I get lost in my head I can't answer and I can't do anything except whisper things and fidget.

I didn't even know that Hyde was standing in front of me until he touched me making me scream and move away from him. He takes my arm again and I screamed at the top of my lungs. I didn't like people touching me when I was like this. Especially when I was unaware that they are going to touch me.

He then slaps me making me cry. I couldn't breathe. So I started to hyperventilate. Just then I heard a bang causing me to jump and cry even more.

I hated loud noises.

"Leave her alone," I heard someone say.

"No," I then feel arms around me. So once again I screamed as loud as possible.

My voice was raw from all the screaming and crying. I could feel it going away.

"Let her go please," I hear Robins voice. I calm down just enough to say his name.

"R-Robin?" I question in a whisper.

"Yes, do you think you can calm down for me?" He asked. Before I could say anything Hyde put his hand over my mouth.

I kicked and screamed in his arms before he dropped me and I landed on the floor hard hitting my head again. I cried out in pain. I covered my ears and cried.

I could hear Hyde hit the floor with a groan. But I didn't move.

"Baby, can you hear me?" I hear Robin.

Robins POV:
She looked so terrified and scared. I was honestly worried.

She looked up at me with her hands over her ears and tears streaming fast down her face. I knew I had to make her aware that I was there before touching her. She throw herself at me and cried harder.

I could tell by her cries she was losing her voice from crying and screaming.

I wrap my arms around her while she still was covering her ears.

"He isn't going to hurt you anymore. I promise," I tell her. "Come on baby, I know you hit your head pretty hard." I said.

She doesn't make any movement. So I went to turn her body so I could carry her. But the moment I did she freaked out and wrapped her arms around my neck as tight as possible.

"Shhh baby," I said rubbing her back.
