When You Remember

Chapter 29- Kayla

I scream and struggle against Robin's grip as he holds me, keeping me from going to my mother. Her beaten bruised body was being taken to emerge because the pain was too much for her.

Her heart was slowing down.

Doctors and nurses yell things to each other trying to keep her alive. They rush her into a room and shut the door behind them, blocking out everyone from her.

That may have been the last time I saw my Mom.

1 Hour Earlier

I scream against the gag in my mouth in my mouth as I hear my moms exasperated screams from the other side. The door bursts open, and in steps mom.

Her eyes were black and her hands had large fireballs in them. This happened in my dream. I dreamt that I was tied up and my mom stood in front of me evil. Everything I'm dreaming is coming true.

Her eyes go soft as she runs and melts the cuffs off my hands. She removes the gag from my mouth. I fling myself on her, sobbing into her shoulder as she tries to sooth me.

"It's okay, everything is going to be alright. I'm here now" she says rubbing my back.

And for once in the past week, I felt safe. I felt like nothing could break the bond my mom and I had, nothing.

"Shhhh, it's okay. I'm here now. Everything is going to be alright" she says continuing to rub my hair.

"I hate to break a mother daughter reunion, but I must be getting to my own" I hear a voice say from the back of the room.

Cora.

I pull away from my mom and wipe the tears from my eyes. "Mom we need to leave now."

"What wh-"

But she was cut off as a cloud of purple smoke clouds my vision, making me far away from my mother.

The smoke disappears and I'm standing in a field right in front of the house.

"No no no no no" I say turning and looking around.

I turn and see Snow's head whip to mine as she looks at me strangely. I turn and see Robin squatted down starring at house, but his gaze turns to me. He jumps up and comes running to me, indulging me in a massive hug. Even though I'm still mad at him I couldn't help but hug and cry back. I grip on to him for dear life for he is on the closest thing I have to my mom right now.

"Kayla honey, what happened? Where's Regina?" Snow asks coming close to me, her bow on her back.

I pull away from Robin, his expression turning into a fave of ongoing at the leave of my touch. I rub the tears coming from my eyes as I say "she's still in there. She's with her. She can't still be in there."

"It's okay Kayla, calm down, everything's going to be fine but I need you to tell me what you saw in there" Snow tries to calm me down.

"It's her" I say through my tears. "She's not dead."

"Who's not dead?" Robin asks.

"Cora. Cora's not dead" I cry.

Snow turns and looks at David, a look of worry in her face.

"Alright everyone, come with me!" David yells walking up to the house. Robin gives me one last longing look before turning and following David.

I turn back to Snow and hug her, sobbing into her blouse as she tries and calms me down. Snow and I have always been close, for Neal and I were childhood friends. We would say that we would get married one day. But now it's an off and on with him.
