The Curse

Chapter 4

She's troubled

Chapter 4

Regina slowly drummed her fingers simultaneously on the cushioned bed. It was her way of making time until Katherine arrived. She was not sure if she wanted Emma to come, but when the tall dirty blonde hair women entered the room, Regina breathed a sigh of relief.

Katherine politely smiled. "Hi dear, sorry for running late". The blonde squeezed and pushed the clipboard to her chest, while shutting the door. Regina watched her carefully as if she was a hawk, gluing her eyes and studying her every movement around the room. Katherine walked over to the other side of the room, and pulled the chair that was sitting in the corner. She dragged it over to the bed and sighed out loud as she took a seat, setting the clipboard on her lap.

"How have you been Regina?". Katherine asked. Regina still had her eyes focused closely on the blonde. She leaned her head forward just a little, her legs cris crossed. "You have been crying". The brunette simply stated and she was right. The dark color of red was shaded on her cheeks, whom moisten with dried up tears. Her dark blue eyes seemed thick and had light, faded circles beneath them.

"I apologize. It's been a rough morning". The blonde brushed the bridge of her nose, making a "SHH" noise when she inhaled. "Now enough about me dear". She paused for one second before continuing. "Are you doing okay?".

Regina casted her eyes downward to her hands clasped tightly together. She slightly tilted herself to make herself comfortable. "I'm okay". The thickness of her voice matched the temperature in the room. Cold and Dark in her eyes. It almost sounded like a question. She was unsure whether she was okay or not. She couldn't remember when was the last time she has ever been okay. Where everything was perfect, where in a world she could smile and the bright yellow sun reflected on her face. She could not remember when the last time she has felt alive.

Katherine nodded. "Did you have any visions of Emma? Any new ones?". She pressed her pen to the piece of paper, getting ready to record. There was a moment of hesitation that cracked through Regina's body. She straightened up her back, squeezing her thighs tightly, while rubbing them with shaky hands. Regina took a moment to close her eyes and inhale the bitter fresh air.

"I-I, well, I uh, I saw her in a wedding dress and then I saw us getting married". Regina blushed, her cheeks blistering a light shade of pink. She nervously brought one hand up to rub her arm slightly before shrugging. "But something else happened". Regina shockley said. "A women appeared". The brunette looked at Katherine, who seemed baffled with what was going on.

She watched as Katherine wrote down what she had told her and than Katherine looked back up to her. "Who was it?". The blonde anxiously said, curious about Regina's strange visions. Regina turned her head to up toward the ceiling, calculating all the pieces of her vision. She pressed her pointer finger to her chin, waiting, waiting, waiting, and then it finally hit her. "That women was my mother!!!". The brunette screamed in agony as she started panting like a drooling k-9 Bulldog, ready to pounce on its prey. She clenched the sheets tightly, her face now flared up with red all over.

"Did your mother do something to upset you?". Katherine said, keeping the tone of her voice soft and steady. She watched as Regina struggled to uphold the words that wanted to come out of her mouth but deceived her from trying. "Regina, it's okay". She cooed. The brunette slammed her hands on either side of her head, practically pulling out her hair in the process.

"it's not okay! It's not okay! I hate her! I hate her!". Regina screamed as her veins on her forehead began to show. Katherine gently put one hand on Regina's knee, squeezing ever so softly. Regina's breathing went from irregular to withstanding a calm now beating heart. The brunette looked at the blonde for a brief second. "I'm sorry". Her voice cracked beneath the pressure she was feeling.

"it's okay we can talk about what ever happen with your mom when you are ready".

Regina only nodded her head slightly before changing the subject to her asking the questions. "So um". Regina blushed, playing with her hands on her lap. "How is Emma doing?". She had recalled in the beginning when Katherine got here, something had happened with the couple.

Katherine sighed lightly as she set the pen on the clipboard. She smoothed her hand through her long, dirty blonde hair. "Emma is doing okay. She is applying to get a job at the police station. Emma sure does love to solve crime". The blonde chuckled. Regina smiled, knowing that was her Emma: the brave White Knight.

"That sounds like my Emma in my visions"

"Do tell dear?"

"She was the White Knight of the white kingdom. Brave, noble, and very sexy".

"It seems we are both lucky women. I just hope you find what you are looking for Regina"

But I already did, Regina thought. The curse was keeping her and Emma a part and there was nothing that she can do to stop it. The illusion of this miserable life made her so tired. She was so tired and she doesn't know how much she can take until she reaches the breaking point and she was afraid, it will be soon.

-Sheriff Station-

Emma clasped both of her hands tightly together, moving her thumb on top of the other, repeating the gesture over and over. She had her chin tucked into her chest and her knees buckled up as she waited for sheriff Graham to confirm that she got the job. The blonde was nervous all together, although, she was a nerve wreck at a lot of things. She did not know why she ran out on Katherine like that or what she saw when her wife kissed her. The image was a blur to her, but she swore she could hear someone calling out her name from the distance.

Could it have been just a dream? The blonde thought. Why do I feel that this marriage is all fake? Emma tried to flush a way all her thoughts, shaking her head. "Breathe Swan It could be nothing". She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in.

"Emma Swan, congratulations, you got the job"
