Disclaimer- I don't own the show or any of the character, just the idea for the story.
REVIEW! :) Please
"You have got to be kidding me right? You don't actually think of all people on the island that Tinkerbell would help us? Have you all lost your mind?" Regina spat harshly while sitting on a log resting her aching feet.
"If there is chance that she can get us into Pan's camp and out safely with Henry then I am willing to take a chance." Emma retorted just as forcefully as Regina earning her a look of loathing from the brunette. "Help us? Please all she will do is get us killed!" Regina tried again knowing that the infuriating blonde wouldn't let this go. "And you know this how?" Ema spat back, unbelieving that her son's other mother would be so against seeking out someone that could possibly be the key to saving him.
"I just do okay! I know Tinker Bell, and I know that she isn't what you're expecting her to be, she isn't a good fairy." At this point Regina was beyond frustrated and she was losing her patience with the blonde along with anyone who thought this was a good idea. "What do you mean you know her?" Emma asked curiously.
"That part is irrelevant, the point is that although you think she will help us, I know for a fact that she isn't any good and will be more than likely the cause of one or more of demises." Regina finished her tirade bringing her hand up and running it across her forehead, rubbing her temples trying to relieve some of the pressure. Spending as many days as she has with the particular group of people was slowly killing her.
Between precious Snow White and her sickeningly sweet husband with their, I will always find you's, and Hook with his stench of alcohol and lust full eyes always watching the blonde of the group, and of course there was the blonde herself. Emma, she was enough to make the once Evil Queen want to become evil again just to rip out her heart and crush it to dust before her eyes.
Regina's lips quivered at the thought trying to fight a smile. That would make her life so much easier; to have Emma nowhere near herself or Henry, to make sure that the blonde could never again interfere in her life. But even if she could do it she wouldn't, knowing the pain it would put Henry through was too much to even think about.
"No, what is irrelevant is that you know her, she doesn't know me, therefore I will find her, and she will help us get our son back." Emma was done arguing with the brunette because it was futile, no matter what, the brunette found something to argue about with her. It was exhausting having to spend so much time fighting with her, Emma just wished they could get along, all Emma wanted was to be in her son's life, but as soon as she entered the town the feud between her and her sons adoptive mother started. Regina feared the worst, that Emma was there to take Henry away from her, but in truth that wasn't what Emma wanted at all, all she wanted was to be a part of his life.
Regina had a look pure hatred on her face and if looks could kill Emma was sure that everyone in their little group, apart from Regina herself, would have been dead. Emma huffed and turned back to Hook signalling him to continue discussing hot to get to Tinkerbell's hut. Every couple of seconds the blonde would glance in the Mayor's direction only to find the her staring at the ground with look of distaste and something else she couldn't decipher.
Emma shook her head trying to clear her thoughts and trying to listen to Hook, but by the time she actually tuned back into him, he was done and they were starting their journey. Emma sighed internally hoping she didn't miss anything too important because knowing her luck her did.
-Flash back in Fairytale land-
"The darkness likes the way you taste dearie, and once it gets a taste, it wants the whole thing, you chose this life, now you're stuck with it." The imp of a man said as he sat upon the great table in the dining hall of the castle. Regina was glaring down at her plate, her appetite long lost. She didn't want this magic anymore, it made her feel wrong.
Regina left the table without warning leaving the dark one alone and the last thing she heard from the room was his high impish laugh. She made her way up the grand staircase into her bed chamber and out to the balcony where she leaned against it looking out over her land. She never wanted to be the Queen, to rule all these people, all she ever wanted was love and freedom but that was taken away from her at the small age of 18, the age when your life is truly suppose to begin.
Tears welled up in Regina's eyes as she took breaths trying to calm herself. 'Do not cry you weak girl, you are the Queen!' she could hear her mothers voice in her mind quite clearly but she pushed it away, she didn't care what that horrible woman said to her anymore, what she was doing wouldn't be considered living but just existing.
Regina leaned up again the balcony look over the edge and closed her eyes, she wished there was a way to get of this miserable life, a way to be able to run and be free without the fear of being found and drug back to this life. Unbeknownst to Regina, the railing she was leaning against started to wobble and before she knew what was happening she was falling over the side, but as she fell she thought that at least this way all her misery would end, she wouldn't have to keep living this life that wasn't hers.
She closed her eyes preparing herself to hit the ground, but the impending death never came, she opened one eye and looked around herself, she was floating in mid air only mere inches from the ground and as she looked up she saw a small fairy before her floating, with a wave of her hand Regina flew back up into the air and right back up into the room that she had fallen from. The fairy followed her up into the room and with a blink the fairy turned into a life size person.
"Hello Regina." she said kindly as she walked towards the brunette. The fairy herself wore green clothing and she had blonde hair that was thrown up into a messy bun. "Hello" Regina answered back smiling kindly at the fairy. "You know you don't have to try and kill yourself to be happy dear." The fairy said as she stepped forward towards Regina more, "I'm Tinkerbell by the way." The fair said and bowed in respect.
Regina's face held shock, she shook her head back and forth, "No! I wasn't trying to kill myself... the railing… it just gave way… And I'm Regi..." Tinker Bell cut her off with a hand in the air, "I know who you are my Queen, and if you say so."
"It's true." Regina said glancing over at the railing. She moved to sit on the end of her bed, "Look Regina, I know that you're unhappy here… I know that you don't love the King." Tinkerbell started and Regina hung her head in shame. "I can help you though." Tink said as she sat down next to the Queen. Regina's eyes widened but she didn't let her hopes get too high for she knew that her only true love had been killed by her own mother a few years previous.
"But how, my true love is dead?" Regina asked in a voice so small she wasn't even sure it was her own. "Oh dear, when one true love dies there is always another one out there for you, you just have to find them." The brunette looked down at her hands in her lap and played with her fingers for a second deep in thought, when she glanced back up into the fairies eye's she whispered, "And you can do that? You can find that person for me?"
Tinker Bell only nodded and smiled before standing and dragging Regina to the balcony once more. Tinkerbell through pixie dust into the air and a green stream of dust flew like path through the sky, "Are you ready?" the fairy asked and before Regina knew it there were both flying high in the air above the tree's in forest and the came to a tavern just on the other side of the forest. Regina was so nervous, she didn't know what she was going to find here, or who would be on the other side of the door with a green trail of magic leading right to them.
"Now, your true love is just inside that door, go on." Tinkerbell said as she slightly pushed Regina forward and the brunette took a deep calming breath and before she could talk herself out of it she pulled open the door and entered the the tavern. She glance around inside surveying her surrounding before she notice a person off in the corner, around the person there was the green magic, but as she glanced around she found out that she was the only one who could see the magic.
Hesitantly Regina moved forward, trying to see the person behind the black cloak but as she kept walking she realized that the persons hood was up. Not wanting to give herself away to the person just yet, Regina backed herself into a dark corner and transformed herself into a different woman completely and she crept forth from the shadows and again began her journey through the slightly crowded tavern until she reached the table. With a shaky hand she reached out and touched the persons shoulder.
The person turned slowly and when they took their hood of she gasped at who was behind it. "Hello." She said kindly smiling that sickeningly sweet smile that she always had on her face. "I… Sorry I thought you were someone else." And with that Regina ran out of the tavern back into the night, back towards the safety of her castle, and away from the girl that had turned her world upside down, the girl that had been the cause of her true loves death, Snow White.
A/N- so what did you think of the first chapter?! I know its different from the show but thats a good thing. I'm slightly altering the timeline in the to fit my idea so it won't exactly match up to the show.
