Rosie's POV
I woke up in the same room and same bed that I had woken up in earlier today. I slowly got up, accidentally leaning on my arm sending a sharp jolt of pain from my wrist right up to my shoulder. I hissed at the sudden pain. I made my way back downstairs where I found Emma and Regina cuddling on the couch watching a movie that I recognised as Beaches. It must have been pretty late since the curtains were closed and the only light in the room was a low lamp and the tv screen. They must have heard me come down the stairs since they turned to face me. Regina paused the movie and the two women shot me a kind smile "hey Rosie, how's your arm?" Regina asked kindly. I shrugged "I forgot about it and when I was getting out of the bed was given a painful reminder but it's okay, I guess" I mumbled in response. They nodded "it's pretty late, we sent Belle home about an hour ago. Do you want to just spend the night here?" Emma offered, Regina nodded in agreement at her wife's offer. I smiled but soon shook my head "no thanks, I'll be alright" I said before walking towards the door "wait! Are you sure you you're okay to go out there alone after what happened earlier? I mean, with your arm you have no way of protecting yourself if Mikael tried anything" Regina panicked, her motherly instincts obviously kicking in. I smiled and the brunettes concern for my well being "my father may be a sick, twisted bastard but he's a strong believer in a fair fight during an Alpha duel and I'm pretty sure no one else in town is going to jump me after everything that I've done" I said confidently. My father follows the rules with a strong heart but if there is an opportunity for a loophole, like what happened a few years ago, he won't hesitate to use it and he wouldn't dare jump me while I'm injured and can't defend myself. The couple nodded "okay, we'll see you tomorrow then. I'll need to check on your arm to make sure that it's healing correctly" Regina instructed with a kind smile, I nodded. I hovered slightly in the doorway between the hall and the living room for a moment before turning back to them "can you tell Henry that I'm sorry?" I asked thought the dimly lit room, my wolf whimpered slightly at the mention of his name. They nodded "of course honey, it's not like you really did anything wrong. Everything you've done is in the past" Regina said gently. I nodded "it was mostly wolf instinct to stay alive when you feel threatened and be alone and not able to control your wolf properly doesn't help much either" I muttered "everything will be fine, Henry won't give up on you that easily. He really cares about you, you know" Emma reassured me. Her words made me feel a bit better but not completely and I can only hope that Henry doesn't give up on me.
I left the Mayoral Mansion but instead of going home I headed to Zelena's farm house. I just needed some time alone so that I could think about what I was going to do next. That, and I didn't want to go home at this time of the night. Somehow I don't think Rumple would appreciate me knocking on his door at almost 12am. Mikael needs to know that I'm not going down without a fight and that I'm not going to let him hurt my family or anyone else I care about. I walked in and headed straight to bed. I ignored the growing hunger in my stomach from the lack of food the entire day. I laid there awake for what must have been an hour thinking before sleep finally took over.
I woke up to someone rustling around inside the house. I got to my feet taking care that I didn't lean on or hit my arm when I suddenly remembered that it still may not be healed completely. I looked through the bedroom door and into the living room but didn't see a thing. I slowly stepped out into the living room when I was met by the familiar scent of coffee and lily perfume, I could only think of one person that that could possibly be. I looked around to see the redhead standing in the kitchen. My breathing hitched slightly, this was the first time I'd seen her since her wedding "Zelena?" I gasped out. Her head shot up instantly at the mention of her name. She took one look at me and a wide smile crossed her face "Rosie!" She yelled happily as she practically ran and engulfed me into a hug. I chuckled slightly at her reaction, she hasn't seen me since she gave me the farmhouse to use. I inhaled her familiar scent and immediately felt comfortable. Her grip on me tightened slightly and I hissed slightly at the sudden pain in my arm but ignored it. Zelena jumped back almost instantly "sorry Rosie, Regina told me about your arm this morning" she told me. I looked at the clock to see that it was shortly after 1pm. Wow, I must have been tired but then again, I didn't get to sleep until late last night. "Ruby told me that Gold let you back in town so I went to see Belle but she told me you were at Regina's because you passed out due to your arm. When I arrived Regina told me you had left late last night. Since no one knew where you were we all started to panic that something might have happened to you so me, Regina, Emma, Belle and heck, even Ruby is helping to try and find you" Zelena explained quickly. Regina and Emma must have been controversial about what I told them last night if they worried that something could have happened to me. I shifted slightly "what about Henry?" I asked. Zelena sighed "we didn't even tell him that we thought you were missing" she told me honestly. I nodded slowly but didn't say anything "he feels bad about what happened yesterday, Regina explained to me what happened" she told me. I nodded "why don't you call everyone to tell them that I'm okay while I get showered and changed?" I asked. Zelena nodded in agreement before pulling out her phone.
Once showered and changed I walked into the living room to find everyone sitting in various places, including Ruby and Henry. I made eye contact with him before Regina came up to me "how's your arm?" She asked hesitantly reaching out to touch it. I shrugged as I stared at the tear on my arm that was still healing. Regina wrapped it up again and used her magic to try and numb the pain a bit. I nodded a thank you before she headed back to sit with her wife. I looked over at Ruby who continued to stare at me. She hesitantly made her way towards me before yanking me into a hug "I'm sorry Rosie" she mumbled in my ear. I couldn't help but smile "it's okay Rubes" I mumbled as I returned her hug.
A/n
Well, there it is. I finished writing it last night but by the time I finished it, it was too late to type it up. So here it is. Zelena's back and Ruby is back with her sister.
Also, for those of you that read I am a Headcase, the next chapter of that will be up later on tonight.
I hope you all have a good day/morning/night 😄
