Chapter 383

• The rain had picked up, pouring down hard, muffled by… Regina wasn't even sure. She just knew that her head ached. Bad. She could feel something warm had trailed down her temple, all the way down to her neck. Had she blacked out? She remembers feeling a sharp blow to the head, but her mind was too confused. It was a loud clap of thunder that flashed its way into the living room windows. That's what woke her up more. The room was warm due to a fire burning inside of the fireplace. She could hear the fire crackling, see the flames dimly dancing up and down. Her vision went black, turning blurry then black again as she noticed she had been placed on a chair. Her ankles felt confined by something that was beginning to cause her pain. So were her hands. But she couldn't see what it was. It was tight around her wrists, but her hands began to move out of pure freeing instinct anyway, when she caught sight of another blurring figure, followed hearing some muffled protests coming from it- him… Regina's eyes turned wide. Sidney!
• Regina hadn't heard anything from him since she left the hospital with Sophia. They had exchanged a few words, and that was of her hugging him and telling him she really did forgive him. That she understood why he had to keep something that monstrous from her. She was a child, and back then there was nothing she could have done about such a delicate matter.
• Regina knew why she was here. She slowly started to remember how she got here. Leopold had surprised her in Belle's apartment. And even though she tried her best to get away, he got the better of her, knocking her unconscious like the coward he always was. But how did Sidney get here?
