The Regal Ships

Part 8: Save You (EC)

  Robin was still laying in the grass,  the Fury had thrown Regina into the lake behind them.  Snow, David, Leroy, and Arthur were all in shock. David's instincts swept in and ran towards the murky water.

"David?!" Snow yelled.

"Someone has to save her!" He told her as she checked on Robin.

Regina was slowly sinking down to the bottom of the lake, the water was so murky little of the dull moonlight even passed through. David jumped into the water. He could see hardly 2 feet in front of him. Regina was at the bottom on the lake it was quite a ways down.

Snow could barely contain herself she was so worried she'd be loosing two people she loved in one night. He continued to swim farther down. Until he reached the floor. His hands grazed the soil as he looked for her, he was starting to panic.

He felt something different than the gritty soil and realized it might be her. Please be alive, c'mon Regina!  He felt around and found her shoulder.  He picked her up by her shoulders and made his way upwards.  Then something snagged.  Her pant leg had gotten caught on a stick poking through.

   It was taking way too long for them.  "Regina!!David?!"  Snow yelled edging the lake. 

   He reached down for the twig and untangled his pant leg.  He was running out of time and oxygen.  Things were staring to get blurry, yes, even more blurred than murky water.  He swan upwards which wasn't easy carrying more weight. 

   He crashed through the surface of the water and took her arms and wrapped them around his neck.  Snow gasped and trudged through the shallow water and helped them to dry land.  He laid Regina down gently; panting.  She was not moving.  She had a slow heart beat.  David braced her arms and shook her.  C'mon Regina! Wake up!

   There was a silence for about ten seconds then Regina abruptly say up and started coughing up water.  David's hand found its way to her middle back as Snow's held her hand. 

   "You saved me."  Noticing that he was all wet and he smiled brightly back. 

   "I couldn't just let you die, Regina." He said and he helped her up.

   "Regina!"  Robin shouted and grabbed her arm and kissing her passionately.  "Try not to die." He teased against her lips.

   "I'd say the same for you."  They kissed again. 

   "So shall we go?"  He insisted lightly.

   "I-I'll be a minute."  Regina said shivering a bit, Snow noticed and offered her coat, which she declined.  Robin nodded and walked off.

    "Thank you...David.  Thank you for saving me."  She hadn't said Charming, odd.

   "It was the honorable thing to do."  He said looking at Snow. 

   Regina walked closer to him and placed her hands on his shoulders, she stepped up so she could kiss him on the  cheek. She let it linger for hardly two seconds.  Then she offered a smile and he just blushed. 

   "Congratulations Charming you managed to woo my step-mother."  Snow teased as she pulled at his collar. 

   "They don't call me Charming for nothing."  He smirked and kissed her.

   David was brought back by the kiss on the cheek, when Regina had tried kissing him before the curse broke.  If I wooed her then there's no wonder why I wooed her now.
