To Ignite

10

I know it's been forever I was going to post the fight instead of this but I am struggling with how I want that to come out and a few ppl want me to update so here you go

Emma laid down on the bed in the room she was given. It wasn't as comfortable as her Queen sized bed in the castle, but it was better than nothing that's for sure.

The Queen had one of her maidens supply her with a simple nightgown and a cold bath which was not an act one would suspect the ruthless Evil Queen to do.

As Emma thought of the Queen and the beauty she beholds, she drifted into a light sleep in hopes to prove herself.

A knock to her door, awoken the slumbering princess. She was usually a heavier sleeper but her body is on high alert due to the lack of familiarity in these castle walls.

"Miss, the Queen sent me to wake you. May I come in?" The green eyed girl heard a voice come from the other side of the door.

"Oh, yea of course," Emma said sitting up from her spot. As she did, a young girl, most likely a maid, came in holding a tray.

On the tray, there was bread and jam along with a glass of water. But what grabbed her attention the most was a bright red apple.

Emma's stomach began to growl. She never got a chance to eat due to the interruption or maybe her lack of food if she even brought any. As you can probably see, this plan wasn't the most thought out or perfectly executed.

The maid handed Emma the tray.

"Thank you," Emma said. "What time am I expected to be ready?" She asked spreading the jam onto one of the pieces of bread she was given.

"In 2 hours, Miss," the young woman said. She had straight shoulder length ginger colored hair with a pair of blue-grey eyes. She looked to be around the age of 18.

"Do you happen to know where I can wash? Because I reek," Emma laughed as she took a bite of the apple that was calling her name.

" Down the hall. May I be able to take my leave?" She asked Emma.

"Yea. Of course," the young blonde said to the ginger who left with a parting nod.

After her finishing her meal and bath, Emma wandered through the castle searching for where the duel will commence.

She honestly didn't know where the need to defend The Dark Queen stemmed from because for fucks sake she didn't even know her name.

Her thoughts were interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

"Going somewhere Blondie?" The sultry voice said.

Emma's face flushed red, "Actually, maybe you can help me."

The queen raised her perfectly sculpted eyebrows.

"You see, I was searching for the arena that the dual was taking place and it seems I may have gotten lost."

"Painfully so. Because you see," the Queen stalked towards the princess. "You're in the Queen's wing."

"I'm sorry," Emma said highly embarrassed.

"Now, follow me," the brunette ordered.

"Why?" The green eyed young woman asked hesitantly for she was not ready to die.

"You need to go to the arena for the duel. And I as Queen am required to watch the duel for it was made in my honor. Was it not?" Regina said not even looking at the blonde.

Emma stayed silent in embarrassment.

"Exactly."
