The Light Guiding Me To You

Chapter 6

(Emma's POV)

My eyes slowly open but I struggle to keep them so. I am so comfy as I have not been in such a long time. It is almost too unfamiliar. I move my limbs to stretch them out and they slide through silken sheets. Where am I?

I eventually open my eyes and look around. The large room is enlightened by the sunlight shining through the balcony. I push myself into a sitting position and prop my head up on the headrest. There is a large vanity sitting beside the balcony and a large wardrobe sits near the door. There is a large floor to roof mirror. I see another 2 doors, one which is open and I see a full bathroom, the other is closed. I wonder what is through there?

I get up and my hand almost makes contact with the handle of the mysterious door before the main door opens and I hear 2 familiar voices.

"Emma. Where are you?" Regina and Zelena call out.

"I'm right here." They come in with happy smiles and a tray full of food. My eyes can't believe it. I don't think I have ever seen such delicious looking food. "What is all of this?"

"This is breakfast. Now eat up!" They drag me over to the bed and set the tray in front of me before starting to go through my wardrobe.

"What are you guys doing?" I ask as I plop a few blueberries into my mouth.

"Picking out your outfit for the day." Regina says simply. "Zelena, do you think she would look better in blue or green?"

"Blue! Definitely blue. Green is my colour." They laugh.

"You guys do know that I can get dressed on my own right." I argue back.

"Yes, we know. We are your new handmaidens." Zelena says.

I almost choke on the food in my mouth. Handmaidens?! "What?!"

"Yep on order of the prince we are to attend to your every need and make you feel at home." Regina says as she sets an ocean blue dress on the chest at the end of the bed. "Speaking of, I believe you have a note from yours truly." She points to the platter and I see a small note under the strawberries. I slowly open it.

Dear Emma,

Hopefully you are enjoying your breakfast. I do hope I am not too up front with asking you this but I would love to talk with you down in the palace gardens. Regina and Zelena will tell you where to go if you wish to meet me.

A light blush falls over my cheeks and I try to contain it. I know I shouldn't be falling for him but part of me just can't contain myself. He has this weird effect on me that I can't describe.

"Are you going to go Emma?" Regina asks as she walks over to the bed with a pair of heels.

"Should I? I don't even know how I feel about him!" I say with a little bit of frustration.

Zelena joins us. "Honestly Em, I think you might have something extra special here and I don't think this is an opportunity you would want to miss."

"I guess you are right. I should give him a chance." I say quietly.

Regina grabs my hand and pulls me off of the bed. "Great! Now let's get you ready so you aren't late."

I laugh as she drags me into the bathroom. "Your bath is all nice and hot. There are a bunch of scented scrubs for you to use. The towels are on the rack. Just don't take to long, your prince is waiting for you." She quickly shuts the door and leaves me to my business. I slowly slide into the bath and the warm water feels so good.
