4 month had passed and there had been no sign of Regina. Robin was starting to loose hope that she was even alive. He needed some kind of closure, he needed to know if she was alive, if she was okay. Belle and her mother Cheryl had moved into the guest room to help with Ava and Roland, who were asking more and more questions as time went by, that's another reason Robin wanted closure, for their children. Robin was sat on the sofa, Ava and Roland were in bed and Cheryl and Belle were at a family weekend away. Robin was watching the 10pm news when something that caught his attention came on.
"Missing mother of two Regina Mills, still missing after non stop 4 month search, police need any information on where about's as survival is getting more limited with each day that passes"
Robin sat and cried. He prayed everynight and every morning that Regina would just come home, so he could just hold her, the he began to loose hope of that ever happening. Robin makes his way to bed when he hears both his children walk in.
"Daddy, can we sleep in here tonight? I miss mommy" Roland said and hugged Robin.
"Of course you can, go and get your covers and we will make a fort bed" Robin smiled, hiding his sadness and both children went to get covers and pillows, the three of them got comfy and soon fell asleep. Robin hadn't slept properly since Regina left. Where was she?

Once again Regina woke up in a dark room, bruises all over her body from the recent event and a headache. She stood up and walked out into the corridor, Regina had been hid out at a camp yard in Philadelphia, 5 hours away from her home. She hadn't been outside in what felt like forever and Regina didn't know how long she'd been in there or what day it was. Regina just gave up. The doors swung open and 4 men came in with Leo.
"This is the girl, Regina Mills. She won't fight you back" he said and pushed her into the group of men. The men started grabbing her and pulled her to the bedroom. Regina knew that if she fought back she would get it worse. After awhile, Regina just cried as the men raped her, hit her, kicked her or abused her in anyway. Regina missed her family.
Regina had tried everyday to get out but has never managed it, Leo bolts the doors shut and doesn't leave her alone. But tonight she has a plan, she will do all it takes to get out of here.

Regina cried after the men left, her whole body hurting. She got up and walked into the large room where Leo was.
"Make me a drink" Leo said and Regina nodded. She had had enough, she had been being abused for what felt like a lifetime. She walked into the kitchen and took out the drugs she had stolen from a mans pocket a few days ago. She put it all in his drink and made him his drink, with the drugs hid well, Regina gave him his drink.
"Now wait in the room, it's mine turn" Leo laughed and Regina walked away, she hid behind the wall and watched as he drank his drink, she waited there for around 15 minutes when he started to passout, Regina then waited until he was completely passed out and walked into the room, she took the phone out of his pocket and rang Robin hoping he would answer. She also took all the money she could find, after all she did deserve it. She rang Robin and hoped he would answer, she didn't know how long until Leo woke up.

Robin heard his phone vibrating on the draws, he picked up his phone and quickly answered it when he saw the name 'Regina💗'.
"Regina?!" Robin questioned.
"Robin, please you have to help me I don't know w-" Regina said but Robin stopped her.
"Babe, ring the police, I'll go to the station now, ring them and they can track you. I love you Regina" Robin said.
"I love you too Robin, I'm sorry" Regina said though her tears and hung up. She then rang the police.
"Police department how may I help you?" A women said.
"Please you have to help me, I don't know where I was or how long I've been here I need help please-" Regina said before her sobs began to get uncontrollable.
"Okay, I need you to calm down okay? What's you name?" The women asked.
"Regina Mills" she replied.
"We have people on the way. Including your husband." The women said
"Thankyou so much" Regina said and hung up. Regina then ran into the bedroom and took off her robe and put on her clothes. She felt disgusting in her clothes but she didn't want to wear the robe. She didn't want anyone to see her bruises.

Robin rang up belle and Cheryl and told them what had happened and they made their way back for the children. They arrived around 15 minutes later and Robin then left for the station. When he got there, there was already police officers getting ready to set off.
"Robin, your wife is in Philly, we are going getting her. Are you coming?" One officer said
"yes" Robin said and they all set off.
After a few hours drive Regina was already with police that were from Philly, it was only one car and there was also an ambulance, Regina was sat in the ambulance with a blanket over her. Robin ran out the car and ran towards her, when Regina saw him she ran into his arms and hugged him tight, afraid that if she let go, she would be taken again.
"I missed you" Robin said.
"I missed you too" Regina said and the couple stayed in a tight hug until they were told to leave. They got into the car and drove away. Robin put his hand on Regina's leg and she flinched, causing Robin to pull away.
"Sorry" Robin said.
"No need" Regina smiled and placed her head on his shoulders. The rest of the car drive was peaceful, they both had each other, and that was enough, but Regina getting back to normal, was going to be a harder task than ever.
