Chapter 31

Snow looked at David but she wasn't sure if he fully would get over it and put it past him. "Can you really?" She questioned before she looked at Regina with wide eyes until she found herself in the hall. She opened the door, trying to get in when she felt the door was locked. "David! Stop!" She yelled through the door since she could hear what was happening inside and since she didn't have her key to get inc she starting kicking and hitting at the door, trying to break the door open. Snow wasn't sure how long it was until she finally kicked the door down knowing they'd have to fix the lock but her body froze seeing the scene although there was a small anger in her towards Regina that she would do this. Put herself in this danger. When Snow saw her bow and arrow hanging, she grabbed it and got an arrow ready, aiming it before she fired, having aimed it so it went through David's shirt and would knock him against the wall. Though she knew it wouldn't do any damage to him but she had to get him to stop.

David had taken the opportunity, he needed to let his anger out and so he did, while he had a fake Killian there. When the door burst open Regina was laying on the floor, she'd changed back into herself, lying on her side, one hand pressed to her ribs, barely conscious, her sleeve torn open from the glass, her face bruises and bleeding slightly and a few more bruises. David panted, he was out of breath and looked down, his anger was pretty much gone, he flinched feeling the arrow tear through his shirt, it pinned him to the wall. He looked up at Snow with wide eyes. "I...I'm so sorry..." He said honestly. "snow....Regina..." He said softly.

Regina laid on her side, she was just glad that Snow wasn't hurt, though she hadn't expected David to come at her so violently. She winced as she tried to push herself up, collapsing back into the floor with a whimper of pain. She closed her eyes struggling to stay conscious, she only hoped that this would let David's anger out and he wouldn't hurt anyone again, like she was hurting now.

Snow looked at David but could tell the anger seemed to be gone from him. But she was angry. She didn't reply to David and instead walked over to Regina, looking her over to see how bad she was hurt and shook her head. "She knew Regina was probably barely conscious but she still spoke. "You shouldn't have gone and done that." She told Regina, though there was a hint of anger. "What if he had killed you?" She asked her before she stood up and walked over to David, pulling the arrow from his shirt, tossing it onto the counter before she spoke. "Lift her up and put her down on the bed." She told him and turned, heading to the bathroom to grab bandages she could need to be able to help her knowing it would have to work until Regina could heal herself.

Regina groaned on the floor, her head pounding, she'd never felt so weak and beaten, she never let anyone get the better of her. "I'm strong" she said weakly to Snows question, smiling a little, almost trying to joke through the pain. "He was angry....and...not letting him...hurt you" she mumbled slowly slipping unconscious.

David bit his words and picked her up, he felt bad as she whimpered in pain, he laid her down on the bed and he finally took in what he had done, she looked an absolute mess. "Thank you..." David whispered into Regina's ear. Now he wouldn't have to hurt his daughter, he only had energy to beat up someone once. Regina coughed a little and winced holding her ribs slightly coming back around. He saw the bruises on her face, her split lip, he dreaded to think of the injuries under the clothes. "Snow hurry please" he called out holding Regina's hand as she was shaking a little.

Snow glanced at Regina hearing what she said and understood why she did it but she still felt angry that Regina had put herself in this type of danger. She heard David call and grabbed what she needed and walked over, beginning to clean up any blood she had and putting medicine on the cuts, bandaging the worse ones. When she got Regina bandaged she laid ice against her ribs. She covered her up. "Rest." She told her before she turned to look at David, her eyes studying him like she was thinking. "If you were to see Killian now, would you attack him? Or would you let him be?" She asked him

Regina winced a little, letting out a few whispers as Snow placed medicine on her cuts and such. She groaned, she honestly didn't know why she'd done this herself. She almost regretted it. She heard Snow tell her to rest and she couldn't fight it anymore, she closed her eyes, passing out immediately unable to deal with the pain.

David was biting his lip nervously, watching as Snow tended to her. He stopped and heard her question, he stopped and thought about it for a moment. "I'd let him be" he said with a small nod. "I saw this Killian, and I just....let go" he said. He looked over at Regina and then Snow. "is she...is she going to be alright?" He asked, he hadn't held back. He reached out and took Snows hand. "I...I'd never hurt you..." He said.

Snow looked down at Regina with a small sigh before looking at David. "I don't know.. she might just need rest but when she's able to she should be able to use her magic to heal.." she said and nodded hearing his answer. "Good." She said but tensed slightly at first feeling his hands before she relaxed and nodded. "I know." She said before she motioned David to the couch so they could talk without disturbing Regina and closed the door behind them as they walked out and looked at her husband. "I'm still angry with you. So I want you to listen since this is how things are going to go, okay?"

David nodded, he was ashamed of the anger that had taken over him, how Regina was covered in bruises and unconscious within seconds. He didn't want a telling off again by Snow so he followed her outside and sat on the couch. "Okay" he replied, though he didn't know if Snow was angry at him for what he'd done to Emma, or for nearly quite literally beating the life out of Regina.

Regina woke up a little, she looked down, she had no recollection of anyone bandaging her up, she saw the bandages around her arm and her ribs were sore, making it hard to breathe, she was alone in the room and could only hope that Snow was okay with David. She shifted a little and let out a small pained cry as her ribs felt like someone was stabbing her, even Leopold or her mother hadn't hurt her this badly. She looked down at her hand trying to use her hand but she could barely lift it off the bed, she dropped her head back onto the pillow, starting to go unconscious again, struggling to keep her eyes open.

Snow looked at David though she stayed standing. "What's going to happen is you are going to lean up all the broken glass and whatever else is on the floor." She told him. "And then, you are going to go down to the docs and talk to Emma and Killian. Apologize to them or even just let them yell at you or hit you. Whatever it takes but you need to apologize to our daughter and you can see for yourself how she is." Snow told him but could hear a pained cry from the bedroom and looked at David before she put a hand on his shoulder and gave it a squeeze before she went back to the bedroom and walked in to see Regina having woken up. "Don't try and move. You need to just rest." She said

David frowned and looked at Snow, he didn't want to argue but he doubted he'd even be able to get onto the ship. "Snow....I don't think they even want to see me..." He said. But he sighed, he knew he had to make this right, he got off the sofa and started cleaning the glass of the floor, some coated with Regina's blood, he heard Regina's cry and felt a little more guilty, but he thought it was just best to follow his wife's instructions right now, he could tell that she was still angry.

Regina groaned, opening her eyes a little more to see snow. "T...told you..." She coughed a bit and winced, her whole body tensing, her cut lip making it difficult for her to speak. "You wouldn't like my plan" she groaned and gently held her ribs. "How bad do I look?" She mumbled blinking in pain, she'd never felt so weak but she guess she deserved it.

Snow nodded some knowing he probably wouldn't be but since that anger seemed to be gone, she wanted him to go try to apologize if he could. "They probably won't but you need to try." She told him before she walked into the bedroom and looked at Regina. "You still shouldn't have done that." She told her. "You're lucky he did stop or it would have been much worse and then what was I supposed to tell Henry?" She asked her before she sat down on the edge of the bed. "You.. don't look very work but I think right now all you need to do is just rest." She said.

Regina nodded a little, she groaned, her entire body ached and she wanted to stretch but she could barely move. "Thank you but I should be getting home now in case..." She sat up a little and winced sharply, her head was pounding and her ribs screamed at her to lay back down but she kept trying to sit up, she only resulted in nearly making herself throw up from the sudden movement she closed her eyes a little in pain, she could feel her arm throbbing and her head pounding and all the different bruises. "don't go...?" Regina whimpered weakly.

Snow looked at her before shaking her head. "You aren't going anywhere." She told him. "You need to just lay there and sleep." She told her knowing she wouldn't be getting up to go anywhere anytime soon. "You can stay here as long as you need." She told her and sat down on the bed. "I'll sit right here with you." Snow said gently and reached out, putting a gentle hand on Regina's. "And I'll still be near incase you need anything but you should just lay here and rest till you think you are strong enough to heal yourself.." snow said softly and gave a small smile.

Regina had laid back down and given up trying to move. She nodded softly and closed her eyes, she moved her hand so that she held Snows. "thank you" she said softly. She opened her eyes once again when she heard the door the the room open and David stepped in, he reached out to take her hand and Regina instantly flinched, her body turning towards Snow for protection, she was only half awake. "I'm sorry mother...I'll be good" she mumbled under her breath, she was seeing Cora, her body shivered and her eyes were barely staying open. Her voice now belonging to the sweet innocent girl she was before her mother ripped out Daniels heart and crushed it. She trembled in fear turning on her side a little delirious from the pain, she regretted moving but it was better than having her mother beat her. She heard the door shut again and she calmed a little but not a lot.

David had finished picking up the glass and had wanted to see how his wife and friend were doing. "Regina? Snow?" He asked sliding the door open, he reached out for her and he didn't miss the way she flinched and began to tremble, he couldn't blame her for thinking he was Cora, with a small silent nod to Snow he left the room and began to walk to the pirate ship, wondering if his daughter was still pulling through, he had no idea what their reactions were going to be.

"You're welcome." Snow whispered softly but she was concerned and knew Regina would just need rest but looked over when she heard the door and saw her husband but saw the way Regina flinched and gave a small frown hearing what she said. Snow returned the nod to her husband knowing he was heading out before she reached out and gentle stroked Regina's hair. "Shh.. it's alright." She said soothingly but knew it had to be the pain causing this but was trying to soothe her the best she could, she didn't know how much she could do for her but she would try. Snow kept stroking her hair gently as she fixed the blanket around her so she was comfier. "Just sleep." She whispered but she didn't make any move to get up. She wanted to be here to help her calm down the best she could.

Regina let out a few whimpers of pain, she slowly returned to her original position to lay on her back, she closed her eyes, screwing them shut for a moment. She leaned into Snow's touch slightly, pushing her head against her hand, she was still shaking a d grabbed the hand with one blanket when it was fixed around her, she let out a small sigh, her shoulders dropping from the lack of tension in her body as she fell asleep, hoping that she wouldn't move that much.

Snow smiled a bit at Regina as she watched her but couldn't help but wonder how it was going at the ship. Snow moved and laid down next to Regina, keeping a few inches of space as to not hurt her but just laying there so she knew she was there if she needed anything.
