Let Me Show You How To Rule This World

Chapter 4

Regina's POV:

Henry and I walked inside and Henry immeadiatly went upstairs to put his stuff in his room. I quietly went over to the bookshelf where I had hidden a new zombie game for his gameboy. I walked up the stairs holding the game behind my back and went to his room.

His door was open halfway so I decided to peek in. I smiled to myself. Henry had crashed on his bed with his bags next to him and only one of his shoes off. I waved my hand and his other shoe slipped off his foot and his blanket floated and settled over him.

Tired myself I walked over to my room to get settled down for the night. I walk over to my bathroom and took a nice, hot shower. I changed into some comfortable clothes to sleep in and then walked over to my bed. As I bent down to pull down my covers I thought I heard something by the door. I turned to see what it was and immeadiatly became dizzy and lightheaded. Black spots clouded my vision as I fell on my bed and everything went black.

My eyelids slowly opened and I tried to remember what had happened last night. Struggling to get my memory to cooperate I turned to see what time it was. My clock read 8:30. What happened last night? Did my head hit something? I figured it must have been my imagination considering I felt fine and everything seemed to be okay now. Hoping that I woke up before Henry did, I tiptoed toward his room.

I opened the door slowly and the hinges made a slight sqeaking noise. Wincing I looked toward Henry's bed. He was fast asleep, his chest rising and falling at an even pace. Whatever he did yesterday with Emma, it sure wore him out, I thought.

I somehow managed to close his door silently this time. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I really wanted to make a nice, big breakfast for him this morning before I gave him his new game. I brought out flour, bread, uncooked bacon, uncooked hash browns, and I searched for the eggs. Having no luck I became frustrated and decided that I would have to make a quick stop at the grocery store and come back as soon as possible so I could be back before Henry woke up.

I couldn't find a small sticky note so I settled for a regular peice of paper and wrote at the top that I was going to the grocery store and that I would be right back. I pinned the peice of paper on the refirgerator so if Henry woke up before I got home he would know where I was and wouldn't panic.

I walked down the street with the eggs I had just bought in a grocey bag hanging form my hand. I let the soft breeze slightly brush my hair, and it whispered in my ear. Realizing that it almost sounded like there was actually somebody talking I abrubtly stopped. Willing my ears to hear the noise I held my breath.

Maybe it's a spell or something...

What do we do?

These voices swirled around my head and again I became slightly dizzy. Just as my knees gave out I felt firm hands around me saving me from falling and dropping the eggs. I turned towards whoever had caught me so I could thank them.

Standing before me was a stranger who was tall, lean, and tan. He had brown, misty eyes and thick eyebrows. His face held a sly smile and he was not ashamed to make eye contact. Suddenly flustered, I realized I was staring at him and I looked down for a brief second before looking back up with a confident grin.

"Thank you for catching me there. I was getting a little light headed for a moment." I realized that he was still holding my elbows and I took a step back.

"It's no problem, really." He smiled and flashed pearly white teeth in my direction. "My name is Jafar," he said as he reached for my hand and bent down to gently brush his lips on my cool skin. "My queen," he looked up staring at me. It wasn't a strange expression or the kind of look that would make a girl uncomfortable. It was more of a look of admiration.

"I'm not the queen in this town. Not anymore, anyways," I said not knowing how he knew me or caring at the moment.

"Thanks again, but I really must be going," I flashed a sly smile of my own his way and began walking home not looking back.

I walked in the door quietly not sure if Henry was still sleeping or not. I set down the eggs and since the house seemed quiet I assumed that Henry was still asleep upstairs. I grabbed three eggs form the container and I reached for the handle of the refrigerator door to put the rest away. When I closed the door I noticed that the peice of paper I had left there was missing. Confused I decided to check on Henry to see if he really was still sleeping or not. As I walked to his bedroom, my anticipation growed and I called his name. He didn't answer me back.

When I came to his room I found it empty. I ran to his perfectly made bed, and I found on top of his pillow the peice of paper I had left on the fridge earlier. Underneath my hadwriting was rushed lettering that read:

Missing someone?

I started to become upset. Who could have done this? My sadness quickly turned to anger and rage. Whoever did this is going to regret it, I thought determined to find him and his kidnapper. Closer towards the bottom in written so small that I had to squint to see it said,

Turn around.

I whirled around still furious, and all I saw was blonde hair before I felt something strong, hard, and metal hit my head.

Please note while reading this from now on try not to imagine the Disney verion of Jafar from Aladdin. Just like we don't imagine Hook as the weird unattractive Disney version. The Jafar in my fanfic is a much more atrractice version ;)
