The Bandit Mills

Past hurts sometimes

I opened my eyes to see that I was in a room. I looked around and noticed the fish paintings hanging on the walls. The sea bitch? I mean Ursula? Why would she help me? The door was open and I could here faint talking down the hall.
"Snow what if she doesn't wake up?" I heard Emma ask.
"Don't think like that! It's only been two days." Two days? Fuck! I tried getting up but I was on my stomach.
I was about to roll over but the pain on my back stopped me for a moment. Only a moment because I've felt worse pain and had to walk before.
I got off the bed and limped to the door way. I was wearing what looked like pajama pants but my back had gauze and healing medicine on it. I had cloth straps strapping it to my back.
I painted from the effort and stubbed to the living room to see them sitting while drinking cups of what looked like coffee.
"Where's my clothes?" I rasped. Emma jumped from her spot to me.
"Go back to the bedroom." She commanded.
"No I'm hungry I need to pee and I want my damn clothes." I persisted.
"Regina calm down your going to tear open the stitches." Ursula said coming to me as well.
"Fine I'll take you to the bathroom but back to bed." Emma took my hand because the back off my arms were torn as well.
We stumbled into the bathroom I chuckled at the look the blonde gave me.
"Come on." She said pulling on my trousers.
When I was finished I let her take me back to the bedroom.
When I was laid back down she grabbed a bowl of oats and fed me.
"You scared me." She whispered. I cracked a small smile.
"I bet." I teased before taking another bite.
"Did you date her?" She whispered. I looked into her emerald eyes and melted.
"No I didn't date her I had sex with her there's a difference. But I didn't do it willingly if that's what your asking." I said taking another bite.
"Willingly?" I sighed.
"When my mother moved me to the group it was because she thought that I would lead the group like she did before she met my dad. Nimue hasn't always been the leader though. When I got in My sister Zelina." She looked at me confused.
"Sister but I thought you didn't have any siblings." I nodded slowly.
"Half sister. She was the out come of a drunken one night stand. I didn't grow up with her. I didn't even know she was my sister till at my mothers funeral my dad told us. Zelina didn't make me have sex with her because Zelina looked down upon forced sex. Apparently something happened to her. But when she went missing one day the next one into command was Nimue. Nimue loved sex. Highest drive I've ever seen." I paused and took another bite. "Nimue loved when she could tie people up and have sex with them. One night while I was sleeping she had sex with me at gun point." I saw my wife's tears and with the little strength I could muster at the moment I whipped them away.
"I'm sorry. I've just never heard a lot about your past." She whispered.
"Looking back to much distracts the now dear." I caressed her cheek oddly because I was on my stomach. "Speaking off where is the bitch?" She chuckled.
"Well my queen if I told you I'd have to kill you." She mimicked me from our first meeting.
"Well it seams that you learned do I?" I placed my hand back down.
"She's strung up in a tree some where. David did the honors of killing her but Snow and Ursula wanted to get some action in before he put her out of her misery so I'm not sure how many none broken bones she has while she's hanging." She said with slight disgust.
"How's your head?" I asked scooting over as much as I could so she could lay next to me.
"You got whipped nearly to death and you're asking about a small head injury?" She chuckled laying down in the same position as me.
"Yes because I would rather die than see some one hurt you." I whispered. She smiled slightly and kissed me.
I tried to deepen the kiss but she pulled away.
"When you get well enough to walk with out almost passing out and can ride a horse then and only then will I give you, what you really want." She whispered the last part in my ear before lightly kissing my jaw.
"But dear having sex with the person you love does wonders for your health." I husked.
"Nice try dear but I think it will be a lot funnier having sex when your well because then we can make the rest mad." She said smiling and snuggling closer to me.

When I woke up Emma wasn't next to me which made me sad but that also gave me time to read the letter Snow put in my pocket before I left Mexico. I fumbled around with my bag that I found in the closet before I found the letter. I sat back down on the desk slightly out of breath.

Regina,
I know you love Emma with all your heart. I know you would never do something intentionally to hurt her. But I think that also when you're around Emma's seams happy and just a love sick teenager. But I've seen her when you're not around. She's a hollow pit. She yells a lot at people in public that piss her off. Regina she wants a family and the only way both of you can have that is if you stop running and settle down. David and I can help you get to where your past is nothing but a legend. David and I love the thrill that running gives us but we love each other more.
And if you can't put the saddle away then leave for good. It hurts her every time you leave and she doesn't need that. You need to get your priorities straight because Emma's not always gonna wait for you. We both know this.
Think about it.
