Dark Days

Chapter ten

*knock knock knock* After several minutes waiting. Emma knocked on the door again faster. This time it was a matter of seconds before she was hammering on the wood. "OPEN THIS GOD DAMN DOOR! I KNOW YOUR IN THERE!" Foot steps grew closer to the door but then stopped. "I just wanna talk" her voice softens. The footsteps grow closer to the door until they stop right behind the door. Then they go away. As the distance grows further away the sound becomes fainter. Emma gets angry. "FINE IF THATS HOW YOU WANNA PLAY IT. I'LL BLOW THE DOOR UP!" The lock clicked. The door knob turned. The anger drained from Emma's face and fear took its place. The door slowly slid open.
"Emma?" David whispered. She took a deep breathe and stepped through the door.
"Please talk to me?" She said, her voice shaky.
"About?" He raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Anything?" A moment of silence filled the air. "I want my dad back?"
"I'm here."
"But your not. This isn't you. What's going on?"
"I'm the dark one, Emma!" He jumped to his feet. Emma flinched.
"I'm not going to hurt you, I'm trying to protect you."
"How?"
"I... I... It's hard to explain... I..." He trailed off.

"Open the door Regina? Let us talk." Snow banged her head against the door. Regina opened it and Snow looked startled. "What?" Regina asked. "Let me guess. Expected to see make-up smudged all down my face from tears and a bunch of snot-filled tissues all over the room? Well your wrong, I've cried enough tears over that man to realise it's not him there." She walked over to her dressing table and sat looking into a dark-grey, dusty book.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"What's that?" Snow leans over shoulder and jumps back. "Is that-"
"Dark magic? Yes" Regina finished.
"I need find something, this can maybe help. It involves dark magic and light magic."
"But who will do that?"
"Emma can do the light magic... And I can do the dark magic." Disappointment spread across Snows face.
"Regina-"
"Don't. I can do it if I have to. I'm the next thing to dark magic this town has. Besides, it might not come to that. Not if we can figure out-" she stopped.
"Figure out the plan of what... What is it?" Snow leaned back of Regina shoulder and gawped. "Is that-"
"What the HELL does he want with my sister!?!?" Regina grabbed her jacket and stormed out the door. Snow picked her phone up. She pressed a button and it dialled Emma.
"Hello?"
"Emma, it's me, Regina figures something out and she's on her way over, now! I think you should leave."
"What why?"
"It involves Zelena, just give them a minute or two."
"Meet me at grannies in 5" Emma dropped the line.

Regina burst through David's door like a bull ready to kill. "What do you want with Zelena?" She asked.
"Regina?" David started to rise.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
"You hate her, I'd be doing you a favour!"
"I MAY HATE HER BUT I DON'T WANT HER DEAD. IF I DID IT WOULD ME MY DECISION NO ONE ELSES, NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU."
"I'm trying to help you" his temper rising.
"HOW?"
"Maybe I can explain that." Zelena strolled through the door with a cheery expression.
"How did you get out?" Frowns David.
"Your still new to this, Dave!" She joked. "Your good, powerful, dangerous, but not that good." He went to cast a spell on her but she used it against him and it was cast in David freezing him to the stop only allowing him to speak.
"Zelena don't!" He cursed.
"Watch this." She faced Regina and held a dream catcher in her face.
"Why would I trust you?" Asked Regina abruptly.
"Oh come on, Gina. We may despise each other but you know you want to find out what happened." Zelena explained.
"Regina... Regina... Regina look at me... Don't do it... You'll only get hurt. If you love me, you won't watch it." Begged David. Regina swung her head to the dream catcher avoiding eye contact with David.
"I love David Nolan. But I don't know where he is, and I want him back." She wiped a tear from her cheek before it hid the floor. "Play it!" She demanded. Zelena gave her the dream catcher and stood back to watch all the events back in Camelot form as memories in her head. Her face shocked she dropped the dream catcher. "I told you, darkness is a tempting thing, it eats inside of you, you can't resist it. If you were once dark the temptation is harder to resist. I've... IVE BEEN THERE I KNOW THAT AND NOW... NOW I HAVE THE POWER OF THE DARK ONE! I AM MORE DANGEROUS THEN I COULD EVER BE! IM WORSE THEN RUMPLESTILTSKIN!" Regina screamed.
"Then embrace it." Smiled Zelena.
"Your free to go, leave!" She looked towards Zelena giving her a knowing look. Regina looked into David's eyes as she heard the door smack closed behind her. "I will never forgive you for this. I would rather have died."
" I couldn't let that happen." He cried.
"Yes, yes you could. You know that me being dead would mean I'd be less of a danger to ANYONE in the town, but you gave me more power, more magic, and now... I'm going to get what I always wanted..." He spiteful tone frightened him.
"Love?" He asked hopeful.
"Revenge!" She sneered as she stormed out. When she left the spell broke, freeing David. He grabbed the phone in the side and dialled Emma.
"The shed..."
"What?"
"The shed, all your memories, your new back garden, the shed. Get them... Fast, we gotta problem and we gotta help each other."
"What's the problem?"
"Darkness..."
