Fire and Gold

Russian Roulette

Henry walked around the first floor trying to notice anything amiss. Nothing had been taken so he thought maybe Robin had left the window open on accident. Nevertheless he closed it and went about his day.

Robin held Regina's hair back gently rubbing her back and holding a cool cloth against her neck. She found the action soothing and closed her eyes gently "You don't have to do this you know." She whispered softly still unable to understand why he was so caring to her. No one was nice to her unless they wanted something... or they were Henry... and even Henry usually wanted something.

"Regina I want to take care of you."

"Yes I know that, but why? I don't understand why you want to take care of me. What's in it for you?" She pressed and he shrugged. "Not a whole lot if I'm being honest, but at the end of the day, I get to come home to you, and I get to love you, and I get to take care of you. That's enough for me Regina. Being able to be there for you and Henry and Roland is my life and I love it, and I love you. I love our family and I want to be there to take care of you."

She sighed softly in defeat. Here was this perfect man, willing to take care of her and love her despite her antics. She couldn't help but feel loved. She nodded and rested against his chest gently. She sipped at the sprite he had gotten her and it settled her stomach relatively quickly. She got up slowly with his help and made her way back to bed. Laying down and taking a nap.

Robin tucked her in and let her be. He closed the curtains so it was easier to sleep for her and went downstairs. Unbeknownst to him, Leopold was in the room right next door, waiting for his moment to strike.

————David————

He had fallen asleep sometime in the middle of the night and stretched lightly. He had texted Emma to get him some coffee and got out of the car and went inside the mansion. His body ached and he missed Snow's company. He decided to call her. He put the phone to his ear and Henry asked robin to take him to soccer practice.

It was a sport he had recently picked up and quite enjoyed. It didn't involve catching a ball, which had always been an issue for him. He had never been able to play a sport other than baseball in which he didn't get hit in the face. Baseball was nice too, but it wasn't in season right now.

Robin agreed to take him and he got ready to go. They left and Emma was out to get coffee. Snow had wanted David's company so of course he snuck out figuring that Regina would be fine by herself.

Leopold smirked at the timing.

When charming left the ex king snuck into Regina's bedroom. He had locked all the doors to the outside and put doors behind them so even if people unlocked the doors, they couldn't get in. He planned to go down with the ship.

He slowly shut the bedroom door and stripped naked. He was going to enjoy this.

He slowly took Regina's hands and tied them to the bed. In her sick state she didn't register what was going on. She just let it happen assuming it was just Robin moving her hands. She didn't feel the rope cut into her skin until it was too late and he was on her.

She opened her eyes slowly and widened them when she saw Leopold. "Help!" She screamed immediately. He laughed deeply "no ones home my pet. It's just me and you now." He whispered laughing. He ripped open her blouse and she pulled at the ropes. "Someone help please!" She yelled. In her sickness her voice was muffled and she coughed loudly. He put a hand over her mouth and told her to shut up. She couldn't breathe.

Her legs were tied as well and there wasn't a whole lot she could do. She focused her magic on him.

The force caused him to be thrown across the room and hit the wall hard. He groaned loudly and got up "you're gonna get it now." He growled and got on her once more slapping her face. He pulled down her pajama pants and she screamed loudly in discontent. For obvious reasons she felt very violated. She focused her magic on the ropes and they quickly came untied. She punched him breaking his nose. He pressed his hands to his face and she hurriedly got out from under him. Quickly pulling her clothes in the correct spots as she ran to the door. It was locked from the outside. That bastard.
