I Will Always Find You

Chapter 10

A/N: This chapter was hard. I had always intended on this happening this way and it was one of the first scenes I imagined when I first thought of this story. But it was hard to write because I didn't want to.... Well, you'll see. 

Roni's

Emma sprinted into the bar after August. Bursting through the door her eyes adjusted to the darkened lights. She spotted August just a few yards in front of her standing by the bar. She bared her teeth as she prepared to pounce until the face behind the bar stopped her cold.

Regina.

There she was. Emma stood straight up, arms dropping limply to her side. Her eyes glistened and a smile spread across her face. "Regina." She breathed softly. Her eyes took in the vision of beauty before her. Regina's beautiful brown hair, now hanging just above her shoulders in thick curls. Regina's lovely eyes, wide open and showing the deep brown color that Emma could get lost in for days. Regina's wonderful lips with her cute scar, lips that she had memorized and could almost feel their softness on hers. All brought together on that gorgeous face, that face that she just wanted to hold in her hands again.

August saw the look Emma was giving her and it made his stomach churn. It was time. "She's here Roni! That's her! That's Emma Swan!"

The brunette behind the bar had not moved since August had burst through the door looking frantic. Seconds after he entered a woman followed behind him. Now her eyes were glued on the blonde woman. Blonde hair. She had never seen this Emma Swan before, she was certain she hadn't. But there was something about her. The way she tilted her head when she looked at her. The grin from those pink lips. Those big green eyes that seemed to look right into her soul. Suddenly her whole world became this Emma Swan.

"Regina, babe, it's me." Emma moved a step closer and raised a shaky hand toward her.

"My, my name is Roni." The words came out of her mouth without emotion. Like they had no meaning, as if she didn't believe them herself.

"No, your name is Regina Mills. He's fucked with your mind somehow." Emma pointed her finger at August and threw him a scowl of pure hatred. Looking back at her love all the hate drained from her face and was replaced by adoration. "And I love you." She added softly.

The brunette bar owner backed up a step. The words this Emma Swan was saying to her hit like hammers to her heart. "I, I don't know you lady. August told me you were crazy." Again the words fell flat and felt false coming from her.

Emma knew that something like this had occurred. August had screwed with Regina's memories, but hearing her deny that she remembered her hurt like nothing she had felt before in her life. Tears spilled from her eyes. "Remember our life together! Storybrooke! Henry! Our daughter!"

"Daughter?" She felt for the gun under the bar and held it out of sight. "Now I know you're crazy! We have a daughter?"

Emma whirled on August and grabbed him by the throat. "You did this to her! Change her back! Lift the spell right now or I will kill you right here!" August gave her a smirk, now was the time.

"Roni! Help!" He pleaded and the gun was instantly pointed straight at them with shaky hands.

"Let, let him go!" She pleaded, not wanting to pull the trigger. "I, I mean it! Step away from my fiance!"

"He's not your fiance!" Emma cried. "I am! I'm your true love and you are mine!"

What was this woman saying? Why was it scrambling her thoughts to the point that she couldn't think straight?
