Storybrooke Scandal - A SwanQueen story

Loss

~*~ Regina's pov ~*~

I banged my fists on the ground where the portal had closed and cried.
"Emma!" I yelled and curled up on the ground. Zelena came over to me and rubbed my back gently.
"I'm sure she will be fine Regina... please don't worry. She's come back from the Enchanted Forest before, hasn't she?" She reasoned and I looked at her.
"She at least had Snow to help her back then..." I whimpered and bit my lip. "That ASSHOLE! I swear when I get my hands on him I'm going to tear him limb from limb if it's the last thing I do!" I growled and got up.

"Open up the portal!" I looked at my sister and she shook her head.
"I can't. The time has past and we need more stuff... I used all the magic that was in those clothes already." She explained and I grit my teeth.
"When is the next full moon?" I asked and she sighed.
"In about 30 days... Regina, please... Calm down. We will be able to get to Emma soon enough..."
"We will be ready in 30 days, but you're not coming with me. I'll be doing this by myself." I said and turned around, teleporting myself to my vault. I was going to be more than ready.

"Sissy... please." Zelena said as she appeared into the vault with me and held me by my shoulders. "Think of Henry. What are you going to tell him?"
"The truth... Robin is an asshole who took Emma with him just to jest us. I sure hope that by now they have life insurance over there because he's going to need it!" I shoved my sister aside and grabbed my old clothes, throwing them into a chest and slamming it shut. I leaned over it and sniffled a little. I was so angry and frustrated that it just became too much. Zelena didn't speak, she just put her hand against my back and rubbed it. I cried more and let myself collapse on the floor, leaning over the chest while sobbing into my arms.

The incredible loss I feel when Emma is not close to me is just devastating. Like someone ripped my heart out and left the hole open, letting it bleed. Zelena sat behind me silently and I could feel her arms wrap around my body. I welcomed her warmth as I was at wits end for the first time since I cast the curse. 

My hands were bound for the next month, until I can finally rescue the one person I love more than anything.

"Where is Emma?" Henry asked and Snow got up as I walked into the house, defeated.
"Robin took her." I said softly and balled my fists. "He dragged her into the portal and took her back there." I said and Snow gasped.
"We have to go back there! We can't leave her alone in that dangerous place..."
"DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?!" I yelled at her before looking at Henry and biting my lip. "I'm sorry..." I said softly. Snow shook her head.

"No... I get it."

Henry slowly moved over to me and held me tight.
"It's OK, mom. Ma will be fine. She knows we will be coming for her."
"There is no we... I'm going alone." I said and looked at Snow with fire in my eyes. "It's better that way... Trust me." I said while putting my hands on Henry's shoulders and slowly moved a few steps back.
"Regina, are you sure?"
"Positive." I said and took off my shoes before going to the kitchen to grab a bottle of wine. The pixie haired woman followed me and sat on one of the stools. Henry took a spot next to her and bit his lip, clearly worried.
"I have to do this by myself. These next thirty days I will prepare myself to go back there, and I promise you, I won't return until I have her and made Robin pay for his actions."
"Sounds like you're going on a warpath." Snow said and I chuckled.
"It's not war when it's a one sided battle. I'm going to obliterate him."
"Mom..." Henry said and looked at me with worried eyes. "You're not going to go back to your evil ways are you?" He asked and I bit my lip.

"I'm going to get Emma back. Whatever it takes."
