There Once was a Princess... (Hook x Reader)

Chapter 12

You who are still in your pajamas, Emma and Ruby follow Pongo to Dr. Hopper's office. You walk up the stairs to his office door.

~It is too dang early for this~

"Archie?" Emma calls as she knocks on the door.

"Archie?" she calls again, she opens the door

"Oh hell..." she gasps

"What is it?" You ask, you look around Emma and see Archie laying on the floor... dead.

~OK, IT'S REALLY TOO DANG EARLY FOR THIS~

"Oh my Gosh... What the crap?!" you exclaim

"No. No." Ruby mutters

"Who would do this?" Emma questions

"I think I know..." Ruby answers, "Regina..." She tells her about how she was on a run and saw Archie and Regina arguing.

~FLASHBACK TO THE ARGUMENT~

Regina is sitting on a bench at the docks, Archie is walking Pongo and notices her,

"Beautiful day, isn't it Regina?"

"Why should I answer you bug?" she spits back at him in frustration, she stands and faces him.

"Because I'm making friendly conversation."

"That you'll just repeat to anyone with an ear." He looks at her confused, "You told Ms. Swan about our sessions." She states

Archie exhales loudly, "I was simply trying to help."

"By betraying my trust?"

"I-I mentioned only that you had come to see me as an example of your commitment to change."

"I came to you. in confidence. How am I supposed to prove to people I've changed when you're there to chirp in their ears and remind them of my past?" She starts to raise her voice slightly.

"I said nothing specific. I would never betray the doctor-patient confidentiality." He assures her

"Doctor?" she scoffs, "Doctor? Need I remind you that you got your PhD from a curse?"

Ruby who was jogging approaches them,

"Hey. Is everything ok here?"

"Private conversation." Regina spits, "Go take yourself for a walk."

Ruby then nods and jogs away. As soon as she is out of ear shot, Archie responds,

"I can be trusted. I assure you."

Regina stares at him for a few seconds angrily, "You're lucky I've changed." Then she turns and walks away

~END FLASHBACK~

After hearing Ruby's story, you and Emma decide to split up. You go back to Granny's to change and then go to pick up Mary Margaret and David. Emma goes to get Regina and brings her to the station. After you change into some jeans,

~I'm not changing out of my sweatshirt. Everyone can just judge me for that. It's my life.~

When you pick up your parents from their loft, they were already waiting for you outside. Yall now go to the sheriff's station, where Emma has Regina.

(Sheriff's Station)

You walk into the station, go through a hallway and arrive at where interrogation room is. Regina is sitting in there alone while Emma waited for yall. Emma and David are about to go in to the room, and you can just tell that it's gonna be tense, so you go with them, in hopes that you could boost morale if you needed to. Walking in, you smile at Regina, and she starts to return it but, she notices David and Emma behind you,
