A prisoner long forgotten

Chapter 8: Freedom

It had been two day since the last time she saw Emma and she was in pieces. She didn't understand why Emma hadn't come back. The first day she had been sitting on her bed expecting Emma's arrival every second but nothing came. When night had come she had become rather angry, why hadn't she visited her was it something she had said, something she had done. Maybe it was the kiss on the head, maybe Emma hadn't liked it.

The second day Regina started reading the roman Emma had collected for her but she couldn't focus on the words because every time the lovers in her book kissed or declared their love for each other her thoughts drifted off to Emma, it scared her but it warmth her as well. In the night of the second day she had come to the conclusion that she missed Emma, she needed Emma and she just might be falling in love with Emma.

When the white smoke appeared in the tower followed by a loud cry and a sobbing Emma in a large white wedding dress she jumped from shock.
"I'm not doing it! I'm not doing it! I don't love him! I don't!" Emma cried and sobbed with her eyes shut and her hands running through her hair pulling at the veil.

"Emma! Emma! Calm down! What happened!"

When Emma hears her voice she looks up and pulls the veil of her head and throws it as far away as possible.
"Regina! I'm sorry! I missed you so much!" Emma takes a step forward reaching through the bars and taking Regina hands in hers.
"I couldn't do it!" Big tears were still falling down her face and Regina couldn't help but cry, she was sick and tired of being here and not able to do anything for Emma.
"Emma give me your face again." Emma pushes her face as close as possible just like two days ago. Regina places her hands on either side of Emma's face whipping the tears away with her thumbs.
"It's okay, it's all going to be okay." She does it so slow coming closer and closer until she can feel Emma's breath on her lips. When they touch the sensation isn't from this world. Her lips are soft, wet and salty. And Regina can't get enough of them before she can deepen the kiss a light shoots out of the both of them, gasping they pull away from each other feeling their lips, feeling them tingle.

The next moment they can see the barrier flicker several times before it explodes leaving little sparkling bubbles behind.
Regina gently feels with her hand were the barrier use to be but nothing is holding her back anymore. She summons up her magic and bends the bars making a hole for her to step through. As soon as she is through the hole she enfolds Emma in her arms not ever wanting to let the girl go.
"You did it." She whispers into Emma's ear. Emma shakes her head and looks Regina in the eyes.

"No! WE did it!"

This time it's Emma's turn to enact the kiss and it's with so much passion and Emotion. Emma nibbles lightly on Regina bottom lip, flicking her tongue over the little scar and sucking at her it. Regina moans and let her tongue explore Emma's mouth before they have to separate for oxygen and because the reality of what has to happen next crept up on them.

"What are we going to do now?" Emma asks with a husky voice still recovering from the passionate kiss. Regina pushes a hair out of her face while she thinks about the question.

"I want to leave this please and never come back. I want to take you with me but I understand if you can't do that, you have your parents here and you're the princess."

Emma shakes her head and cups Regina's cheek forcing her to look into her eyes.
"I want to go with you, I want to be free and I feel free when I'm with you. Please take me with you."
Regina eyes sparkled and turn a light purple, she flicks her wrist and they disappear in a purple cloud leaving the tower forever.

They reappear in the heart of the enchanted forest. The birds were chirping, rodents were playing with each other and Emma could detect a deer drinking at a stream.
"Where are we it's so beautiful?" Regina smiles at takes Emma's hand in hers and closes her eyes letting the sunbeams cover her whole face. She lies down in the grass and Emma does the same.
"I use to come here with my horse Rocinante when I was still queen and I needed some peace and silence. This is my happy place." Emma leans closer to Regina and lets her head rest on the brunettes chest.
"Then I think I want to stay here forever." Emma closes her eyes and let the sound of nature roll over her.
