Deadly Eyes - Swanqueen

Part 19

The women I met a few months ago when I was taken away from Lily's seems to no longer exist in this world, it was as if she never existing in the first place. She has been replaced with a woman I knew and loved when I was growing up.

This past month has been incredible of sorts, we have trained like there was no tomorrow, I feel the fittest I have ever done in all my life. My wounds have healed, my leg is stronger, I hardly feel any pain. I have reconnected with Ruby again, having her back in my life has given me more strength to move forward than I thought possible. Seeing Ruby and Robin grow closer was a good distraction, everything seemed right. But there was one thing still missing and in order to get this back in my life we all knew what we needed to do.

The closer it came, the more nervous I became, Regina also. She wondered off every day for an hour to be alone, she never told me where she was going, and I never thought to ask. It was the night before we were due to leave when I heard arguing in the hall. I walked out to see what was going to find Regina and Robin in a heated discussion,

"what's going on here" I said as I approached

Both of them turned towards "nothing" Regina mumbled, I saw Robins eyes widen and turn back towards her as if he was shocked that what she said

"Regina" she said in a warning tone

"what is it Regina?" took a step towards them" why are you guys arguing?"

"Regina, you need to tell..." Regina cut Robin off

"Robin don't" I saw his shoulders slump looking defeated "I need to be alone right now" she went to walk away but I quickly grabbed her wrist, she looked down at my hand "don't" she whispered, she pulled her arm away and walked out the house

I turned to Robin, searching for answers but he just looked at me and sighed "Robin tell me"

"I can't Emma, I am sorry" I knew he wouldn't say anything so without wasting anymore time, I walked out the house following Regina

--

When I left the house, I didn't see her, but I noticed that the cars were still there, she mustn't have gone far so I decided to follow the trail into the woods, I knew from when we were younger she loved walking through the woods and there was only one trail I remembered so I took the chance took that route.

I must have walked blindly for a while as I ended up on the boarder where the town is. I slowed my pace when I saw the silhouette of Regina sat on the bench next to the fence. She had her head down looking at something in her hands. I stepped on a branch which caused her to turn around so quickly.

The next thing I noticed was the barrel of a gun pointing straight at my face, quickly looking past it, I saw those deadly eyes I only saw once before, in her office. I inhaled a deep breath as fear rippled through my body, not a second later did she quickly lower her gun and engulfed me in her arms

"holy shit Emma, I could have fucking shot you" I let out a breath closing my eyes

"S-sorry" I struggled to speak

"Emma, I'm so sorry please forgive me" I heard the plea and what seemed like fear in her voice, my heart broke at her vulnerability, I quickly held her hand

"it's ok Gina, I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that" I kissed her cheek and pulled her again

"I'm sorry" she whispered again, I felt her squeeze a little before she let go "why are you here"

I laughed a little "I could ask you the same question" I saw her sigh and look to the floor, reminding me again how much she has changed since I first saw her again "what's wrong Gina, I know something is bothering you"
