The Shadow of a Swan

Part 1

     She looked right in her green orbs, but there wasn't that light anymore... just eyes full of darkness... darkness and obsession. It was horrible... from that sight Regina lost any hope... Emma looked right through her soul and it made her to shiver; an unbearable feeling of fear flew through her veins and made her limbs to froze, or it was just a spell... When the entire essence of the Queen filled up with grief and despair, fear and hopelessness, a tear slide down her cheek... Something clicked at that moment in Emma's head, but Regina had not time to understand that sudden change in her look, because with faded smirk on Dark One's face, faded everything in her sight, as her vision blured everything got black.
     When she woke up, there were no signs of the blonde, just a thin gleam of light made its way from the window to the bed, where she was laying and the feeling of loneliness engulfed her... somehow she realized that this was the last time she saw Emma... 

                   Earlier...
     When the Savior sacrificed herself for the first time, saving Regina from the Dark One's curse, she lost that strong connection with the light magic, that represented her entire essence... Emma didn't realized that she was losing herself more and more with every second... being invadied by the dark magic for long enough time she might disappear for ever, her personality will be vanished... and the Darkness will take over her body...

     Horrible, unbearable screams echoed through her ears and there were no source of those sounds, it was in her head... That was the sound of despair and pain... hers and thousands of Dark Ones'. She was losing her mind and not being possible to control it made her crazy and mad, fearfull and lost. There were no one to hug her, to support and show the right way from this Darkness, which surrounded her. The limbs went numb, she was crying and fell on the ground on her knees, covering face with her hands, trying to silence the sobs escaping her throat, but then the level and pressure of her feelings increased and she let out a scream. At the sound of this sorrow anger the Enchanted Forest was engulfed with deadly silence.
     Emma just laid there for days, seeming emotionless at the first sight, but inside of her heart there was a battle between Light and Darkness. She didn't even closed her eyes for a second, but her vision was blury and all she saw was the Imaginary World, where she found a save place being a child. This place helped her to find peace and save the good part of her personality, the part which was able to love.
     But this Imaginary World was different now from that one from her childhood. The people were different, their faces... now they were real: her real parents, her real son and Hook... they were so happy together. And her friend... Regina. Something clicked in her mind at the sight of those brown eyes and reality crashed on her... she realized what happened, where she was and what she was gonna do and where to go. Emma overstepped the influence of the curse and let her good emotions and feelings guide her...
     Different dark voices filled her head on the way home, they whispered horrible things, but the blonde was trying her best to not surrender to them.

-"Kill them! Kill them all! Make them suffer! Like you suffered! They leaved you... they abandoned you, just using their Savior for their benefit. You are just a weapon in their hands, not more... just weapon used against their enemies, against Evil Queen. Kill Her! She is a reason of your pain, of your loneliness. She pretends to be your friend, but Regina is using you, like everybody else! You are just a means to an end. Parents used you. Your own son, Henry, used you... your friend, Regina, used you! Look where you are now! You keep sacrifising yourself and what? Where are they all now, when you need them? The world is rotten, the hearts are frozen; selfishness rules here and there... you are doomed to suffer from your blindness... Open your eyes! You lived enough on this world, no matter with or without magic... You just need to see the truth, don't be afraid! It is not pleasurable feeling, but at least real and you will be ready next time, you will be prepared. PUNISH THEM!..."

-"STOP"- echoed through the forest...-"I don't want to hear this crap anymore!"

"I need to get home faster..." Emma thought "I am going crazy... I should stop it! They love me! They Love Me! THEY LOVE ME!..." she repeated and repeated and repeated this words in her mind, to drown out the unbearable, evil voices.

-"Love is a weakness, my dear!"- singsonged the rough, hoarse voice in her head.

-"If it would be SO, we were not be talking, and you were not convincing me to do it, I would have done it by myself, without your annoying whispering in my ear, so shut the fuck up and don't bother me anymore, you stupid, faint-hearted coward, full of anger because of yoyr own mistakes, looking for comfort in misserable, meaningless revenge!"

-"Oh, I seeee.... I see now... that darkness in your heart, it is increasing... it will be funny! To watch you slowly losing your mind... oh, this transformations always are so entertaining! You should control your anger better, dear..."- he laught

-"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"- She screamed out of her lungs, and that made a flock of birds fly away...

     Then the temperature fell under 0 degrees, the air became cold, heavy and reaching the lungs it spread through entire body, filling it up with fear, grief, loneliness, sorrow. Grey clouds appeared in the sky, absorbing all the light, preventing sun rays to fall on the ground. Thunder and lightning reveald themselves. Emma stood steal in the center of this storm, boiling up with anger and dark aura was spreading from her. It became hard to breath and all lifebeings left these surroundings...

"Everybody will leave me too, when I will return home... they will leave me, because of their fear, of who I am now..." she thought, letting her darkest fears out from the deepest places in her heart and mind, where they were hiding all this time, from when she was just a child... lost, unloved girl...

     Her eyes were dimming and fog filled her eyes, making them look like holes leading to nowhere and pulling your sight inside of this emptyness, at the same time filling your mind with hopelesness. Her skin became paler, losing its healthy color to almost white shade as and her hair. She felt dizziness, her body was losing weight and outlines of her bones appeared almost in seconds. Emma lost control at all and was transforming into something horrible, she was becoming the Grief and Sorrow, that were taking an upper hand in her soul. Her vision was blury and she was losing her consciousness, when some flashes of memory appeared in her mind... the warmth and love spreading from her parents' bodies when they were hugging each other... the smile of her son and the touch of his little hand against the skin of her arm... Hook's loving eyes, and then again those brown irises... and the shadow of the smirk on the lips...
     Emma fell on her knees, exhausted, lost in her thoughts because of these mind games and just cried and cried...

     At the same time in our world Regina woke up in the middle of the night. Her eyes full of fear and her pillow was soaked with her cold sweat... she was trembling and just a word escaped from her lips...

-"Emma"...
