Troubles in Storybrooke

Chapter 33

Henry went to walk when he passed slightly and gave a small frown, turning to look at him. “Does it have something to do with her knuckles?” He asked. He had noticed the bruises but hadn’t mentioned anything then.

David looked down at his knuckles and Henry's question and nodded a little bit. "Regina..." He swallowed. "she helped me get my anger out...she shifted into Hook, and I...I couldn't stop myself..." He reached out going to grab Henry's shoulder, he hadn't meant for this to happen and realised that he probably shouldn't have waited so long to tell him about something like this.

Henry nodded and listened before his eyes widened slightly when he realized what David was getting at. “Is.. is she okay?” Henry asked. He seemed more worried but then hesitated. “And.. the anger is gone, isn’t it?” He asked. On top of all the worry he felt he didn’t have it in him to be so angry like he probably should have been but he was at least glad David and Hook hadn’t gotten into an argument down in the cabin.

David nodded. "The anger is gone, that was her plan, but...snow had to stop me" he said remembering how he'd gotten carried away. He paused for a moment. "she's hurt....quite a lot" he apologised taking a step towards him. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner" David said to the boy.

Henry frowned some and nodded slowly as he listened and looked down briefly before she looked up at his grandfather again. “Will this make things better?” He asked. He didn’t like the way there had been so much tension in his family and didn’t want anyone to be fighting anymore.

David nodded a little. "It will still be a little awkward...but I promise...all the arguing and violence is done" he said, he just wanted to make things better between them all, plus they all had to focus on getting their memory back. "Come on" he said and pressed a hand to Henry's shoulder leading him towards the loft.

Henry nodded some and gave a smile as she followed him back to the loft but once there he heard Snow and walked to the bedroom when he saw Regina.

Regina mumbled a little under he'd breath, head turning side to side softly. She felt the bed dip and realised that Snow was laying next to her. She let out a soft groan and moved her hand trying to find Snows hand through the pain. Snow glanced over at Regina and saw her trying to move her hand but realized why and reached out, grabbing the other woman’s hand gently. “It’s alright..” she whispered.

Regina groaned a little and squeezed Snows hand back weakly, she coughed a bit and winced, hand flying to her ribs. She opened her eyes a little, unable to focus on anything too much before they closed again, her body going limp as she fell back asleep.  Snow looked over at Regina and carefully squeezed her hand back and watched her with a little concern but smiled a bit when she saw her fall asleep and pushed some hair from her face.

Regina blinked a little, a few minutes waking up again, she turned to look to her side and pressed her lips together before speaking to snow, her voice raspy. "S..snow?" She mumbled a bit confused, she felt someone holding her hand but didn't question it. "I'm sorry" she whispered closing her eyes briefly.

Snow had been looking up at the ceiling before she turned her head to look over at her before she heard her apologize. “It’s alright..” she whispered before she heard her phone and grabbed it as she read over the message. “David and Henry are on their way back.” She told Regina. Regina groaned a little, she tried pushing herself up but she didn't do a very good job. "N...no" she whimpered holding a hand to her side. "Henry....Henry can't see me like this" she whispered, trying to use her magic to get out of there, flexing her fingers and only a small could of smoke appearing for a second before it disappeared completely.

Snow sat up and shook her head. “David probably told him anyways and you aren’t going to be going anywhere for a while.” She told her and gently laid her back down when she saw only a small cloud of smoke.
