                The snow almost covered the entire town, everyone was cold. The forest have seen so much for the day and it was bound to see some more. The Outlaw first met the Evil Queen in the woods when he helped her from the Wicked Witch’s flying monkey. He smelled like forest but little did she know, she eventually wouldn’t care about it. And then they were there again, in the woods, only now, the Queen isn’t as sassy as she used to.

Robin held Regina closely to his chest as he pressed his lips against hers, again, but her eyes were shut still. He laid her head on his lap, waiting for her to wake up. “Milady, wake up,” he whispered to her ears as his tears went streaming down his face, finding escape for another time. But she remained motionless and unconscious on his arms. “Help her,” he begged looking up on the persons with magic around him.

The most knowledgeable of them leaned closer to them placing the palm of his hand few inches away from Regina’s face. As Rumplestiltskin seemed to scan her head with magic trying to find out what’s wrong, he shook his head and doubted, “It isn’t sorcery.”

“Then what is it?!!” Robin yelled out of anger and desolation. Gold and Zelena just looked at him not having any further explanation.

“Hospital,” someone finally suggested. Of all the people in the group, Emma knows best that hospital could help anyone who had lost their consciousness regain it. No matter how evil Regina was, she was every bit of a human, only, magical and regal. Emma closed her eyes trying to concentrate and use magic to bring them to the town’s infirmary, but couple of seconds passed, nothing happened. She was failing.

“Oh snap!” Zelena blabbered. “Just think of the place!” She commanded Emma, feeling terribly worried of losing her sister, her only true ally in Storybrooke and in all the realms. She touched Emma’s shoulders and in an instant, they all disappeared from the forest, leaving no trails other than ashes of the trees and the melted snow.

They emerged from green smoke and found themselves inside Storybrooke’s only hospital. Zelena grabbed Elsa by her arm making sure that she’s close to her while Robin was carrying Regina, still unawake in his arms. “Whale!” David called on the doctor. The nurses went to get him and in few seconds, he was with them.

“What happened?” Whale inquired, feeling important that the powerful people and the royalties went to seek his help.

Robin laid Regina’s body on the stretcher as Emma spoke, “She was hit by Elsa then she fell unconscious, twice.”

“And you need science for this?” He asked dubiously.

“It’s not a result of magic,” Zelena glowered. “Just get her to wake up!” Damn it! Zelena thought angrily. I’m not gonna lose my sister now. Not now, not ever!

Whale pushed the wheeled bed towards a private room as he and his medical team started hooking Regina up to tubes of fluids and oxygen. Robin observed from outside the room, his hands slightly pressed on the clear glass just watching Regina and Dr. Whale and his staff. After few seconds, the frames closed prohibiting Robin to see even the least of Regina from outside the room. He doesn’t understand anything but he could only wish for the best – that Regina would soon wake up. Emma stayed by his side looking every bit of worry as well, she constantly tried to check what’s happening inside to no success. Although Whale reassured them that they will do everything they could, the Outlaw never left his Queen, even from a far, he was watching and loving her.
