Did You Hear That?

9 chapter

A week passed without Regina seeing neither Allison nor Emma. She wanted to meet her former friend but she didn't know how she was sure that there wasn't a chance Emma would want to talk to her. When Zelena got home that night after Emma's visit she had yelled at her sister telling her that she had warned her about entering Allison's life, Regina had told her sister that she wanted to fix things with both Emma and Allison, however, the only reaction she got from her sister was laughter.

During the week Regina started to notice things, belongings like her reading glasses started to get misplaced, doors would slam shut when no one was around, she would feel watched... At first, she thought it was her sister trying to annoy her for the whole Emma situation. Once Zelena went back to her house that thought was put aside since all of those things kept happening. After thinking about it in hopes to find a plausible answer, her mind went back to one day in particular where Emma's grandmother sat the two girls down and explained everything about ghosts to her. It had happened after she saw the girls speaking to someone that she could feel that wasn't alive. She had explained to them that at first, it was hard to tell who was a ghost from who isn't but with time you would be able to distinguish their energy. Then she told them that once a spirit held much energy within them, they would be able to mess with things in the living world, mostly to try to contact someone they cared about. 

It had to be that. Regina couldn't think of anything else, there was no explanation for the things that had been happening. "So... Hi? Hm... I don't know who you are or if I did something to upset you but I'd like it if you'd stop misplacing my stuff. I got an earful from my boss today because I didn't have some really important papers with me and I know I put them in my case. That's it I guess, thanks," Regina said to thin air, "great. Now I am talking to the walls," she huffed sitting on the chair in her father's office. As soon as she sat the papers that were on display on top of the desk were all thrown to the ground, "what the hell..." Regina left the office, grabbing her purse and heading to the car. She was sure that something was going on and she needed help, she needed Emma's help. 

She drove to the bar she now knew belonged not only to her sister but also to Emma and once she got there she was relieved to see Emma's bug parked outside. Regina quickly made her way inside. Inside there were only a few customers, she looked around but there was no sign of Emma.

"Good afternoon, how may I help you?" a brunette asked making Regina turn to face her.

"Hello, is Emma Swan here?" she asked trying not to sound too hopeful.

"She is in the back, want me to go get her?" the other woman asked and Regina nodded. When she was alone she sat at a table getting ready for all the possible outcomes of the conversation she was about to have. Emma could just throw her out and refuse to speak to her, or there could be a lot of yelling, maybe insults even or maybe just-

"Regina? Is everything okay?" she heard the voice of the blonde cutting off her train of thought. Okay, so worry had not come to her mind. She had expected everything from Emma but worry towards her.

"Hi, yeah. Why do you ask?" Regina asked as she watched Emma take a sit in front of her.

"Zelena told me she couldn't pick Allison from school today and now you show up here. I don't know, I thought that maybe something had happened," Emma told Regina. She wasn't worried about Regina in particular after all, that made more sense.

"Uh... No, everything is fine. I just wanted to talk to you if you don't mind," Regina said.

"I actually need to go pick Allison up from school," Emma told her with an apologetic look and Regina nodded, she was about to ask Emma if they could talk later instead when the blonde spoke, "why don't you come with me? We can talk on the way there and I'm sure Allison will be happy to see you."
