Invisible String - Regina Mills x OC

Chapter 3

Feline was sitting in the office with Regina when Regina got a call from doctor Whale. Feline waited patiently until the mayor put down the phone.

"Grab your coat, we're going to the hospital." Regina said while standing up.

Feline stood up too and grabbed her coat. "The hospital? Why?"

Regina grabbed her coat aswell. "John Doe woke up."

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Feline walked into John Doe's hospital room, and not much later Emma, Henry and Mary Margaret also enter the room.

Regina approaches the three. "What the hell are you doing here? And you," She turns to Henry with disappointment, "I thought you were at the arcade. Now you're lying to me?"

"What happened to John Doe?" Mary Margaret asked, "Did someone take him?"

"We don't know yet." Feline said giving Mary Margaret a small, reassuring smile.

"His IVs were ripped out, but there's no sign for sure there's a struggle." Sheriff Graham added.

"What did you do?" Henry asked Regina, which made Feline's heart ache because she knew how much Regina cared for Henry.

Regina looked at Henry in schock, "You think I had something to do with this?"

"It is curious that the Mayor is here." Emma said suspiciously.

"I'm here because I'm his emergency contact, and Feline... Is my... Emotional support." The mayor said, unsure of why she brought Feline with her.

"Emotional support?" Feline scoffed, "And I'm the mentally ill one."

The mayor raised her eyebrow and turned to Mary Margaret when she spoke, "You know him?"

"I found him." Regina answered, "On the side of the road years ago with no ID. I brought him here."

"Mayor Mills saved his life." Doctor Whale said.

Mary Margaret looked at him, "Will he be okay?" She asked.

"Okay?" Doctor Whale answered, "The man's been on feeding tubes for years on constant supervision. He needs to get back here right away or, quite honestly, 'okay' might be a pipe dream."

"Well then, let's quit yapping and start looking." Emma spoke

"That's what we're doing?" The mayor said with a stern look, "Just stay out of this, dear. And since I clearly can't keep you away from my son, I guess I'm just going to have to keep my son away from you. Enjoy my shirt, because that's all you're getting. Sheriff, find John Doe. You heard Dr. Whale. Time is precious."

Regina looked at Feline, signaling her to follow. She grabbed Henry's arm and the three walked out of the hospital together.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Later that night Feline found herself drinking a cup of tea while reading a book under a cozy blanket. As soon as she finished her team she felt the sudden urge to take a late night walk, so thats what she did. She put on her shoes, grabbed her coat and walked out her apartment, into the woods.

As she walked through the beautiful woods of Storybrooke she heard familiar voices in the distance, so she approached them. She walked close enough to see who it was, and to her suprise she saw Mary Margaret, Emma, Sheriff Graham and Henry.

"Henry!" She said with a hint of disappointment in her voice, "If your mom finds out you're here she'll kill you."

Henry looked down at the ground, Feline wasn't the one to get mad at anyone. She was always understanding when anything happened, so when she does get mad you know that you are in big trouble. "Please don't tell her." He said in a scared voice.

Feline sighed, "Don't worry. I won't, but please for your own sake, stop sneaking out."

Henry nod his head innocently before Graham yelled out, "Guys!"

Everyone looked at where Graham was shining his flashlight and saw John Doe's hospital bracelet covered in blood.

"Is that..." Mary Margaret asked in a scared tone before Emma replied.

"Blood."

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

A few moments later they are still searching for the coma patient and Feline was getting tired. When they arrive at the T(r)oll bridge Graham is shining his flashlight on something.

"Where is he? Can you see him?" Mary Margaret asked curiously.

"The trail dies at the water line." Graham says before shining his flashlight further into the water and everyone sees John Doe's unconscious body floating in the water.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" Mary Margaret quaked before running into the water to move his body to the shore.

Graham pulled out his walkie talkie to call help. "I need an ambulance! At the old Toll Bridge, as soon as possible."

Graham and Emma walked into the water too to help Mary Margaret move the body to the shore while Feline stayed next to Henry and put an protective arm around him.

Once he is at the shore Mary Margaret starts to freak out at the sight of his lifeless body. "No, no, no, no, no! No, no, no! I found you!"

"Is he going to be okay?" Henry asked is a small, concerned voice.

Feline quickly turned Henry around. "Henry, don't look. Okay? Don't look."

"Come back to us. Come back to me." Mary Margaret said before starting to do cpr on him. But as soon as her lips touch his he starts to breathe again and he coughed up water.

"You saved me." He said, still catching his breath.

Henry turned around again when he heard John Doe's voice. "She did it. She did it! She woke him up." Feline smiled down at him.

"Yeah, kid. She did." Emma said, also smiling at him.

John Doe thanked Mary Margaret, "Who are you?" She asked.

John Doe pauses for a second, "I don't know."

"It's okay. You're going to be okay." Mary Margaret looked at him with a reassuring smile.
