I would love to hear what you guys think of the story. I hope you enjoy it.

Regina sat underground, she was in hiding. The whole town believed she killed Archie. She hadn't of course. She had been helping them. She was trying to be good, but now that was ruined.

She couldn't figure it out. Who had killed Archie. It couldn't have been herself, she knew it wasn't. But she couldn't think of anyone who would want to kill him. Gold wouldn't, not so cheaply whereas belle could find out. He didn't have a reason to kill him anyway.

Regina heard a voice through the mirror, she came closer to the mirror and she heard Henry's voice. He said "mom, mom are you in there?"

Regina quickly made her way to the mirror and let Henry inside. She quickly embraced him. Henry hugged her back as he said "we know you were framed."

Regina said "you do, that's great news. Now I can leave this vault."

Henry evolved and his small body became taller. Regina let go of him and stepped back to find her mother before her.

Regina stepped further away and said "what have you done."

Cora said "I had to show you they didn't believe in you my sweet Regina. They knew you could never be good."

Regina said "you framed me, what else were they suppose to think."

Cora said "I only did that to show you the truth."

Regina said "why are you here."

Cora said "I have came to reunite with you, we didn't leave things very good."

Regina said "you killed Daniel mother, I don't want you here. We are going to the sheriff station, and you will tell the two idiots why you have came and that it was you who killed Archie."

Cora said "now why would I do that silly girl, we are not going anywhere. Not yet."

Regina said "you can't stop me, now let's go." She went to leave out the door but Cora grabbed her arm roughly. Regina felt a million shocks of magic going through her body, and then she felt nothing but deep sleep.

Young Regina sat up from the bed she had been sleeping on. She didn't remember where she was. She felt very strange. She made her way out of the room she was in and down the stairs.

She looked around the big house for a very long time. When she walked past a mirror she suddenly stopped. She didn't have any idea what she was wearing, she knew it was a dress but she had never seen one like this before. On her feet were black sandals, which were also very strange.

Regina wanted to cry, she had no idea where she was. There wasn't even anyone to tell her. She wished her mother were there, Regina knew she would have the answers.

Regina made her way to the front door, and down the street.

After walking a while she found a small colorful building. A tall woman with black and red hair said "who are you sweetheart, are you lost?"

Regina said "yes actually I am, my name is Regina and I don't know how I came to be here. Have you seen my mommy or my daddy. They must be here."

Ruby said "your name's Regina? What's your mother's name?"

Regina looked puzzled, she could tell this woman didn't believe her as she said "my mommys name is Cora, but don't you tell her I said her real name. She would be angry with me."

Ruby said "my name is Ruby, how about you come inside and I will fix you something to eat while I talk to some people so they can help us find your mother."

Regina nodded excitedly and said "it feels like I haven't eaten in days. That would be great thank you."

Ruby smiled her way and they went inside the diner. Ruby called Emma and her parents before preparing young Regina a hamburger. But she wouldn't eat it. When Ruby had tried to feed it to her she said "I will not eat that, what is it suppose to be."

Ruby laughed as she said "it's just a hamburger, it will do nothing to you. It's good just try it." It was weird for Ruby talking to the evil queen as a child. It was hard for her to take in.

Regina said "no, I will not. A princess does not eat rubbish."

Granny came over then and pointed her finger at the little girl and said "there is no need to be rude, my granddaughter has made that for you. You should be great full. Would you rather not have anything?"

Regina shook her head, granny scared her a little. But Regina knew to listen to her and she said "I will eat the... Hamburger. Do you think I can have myself something sweet afterwards. My mother isn't around and I am never allowed to. My daddy allows me to sometimes when mommy isn't home. That's not very often." The little girl looked down sadly.

Granny rubbed the girls back and said "I am sure Ruby wouldn't mind making you something sweet."

Regina looked up excited and said "thank you, Ruby!"

Just as Ruby left the door opened and Emma walked in followed by her parents. When Ruby saw her she ran over and said "something bad has happened to Regina, she is a child."

Emma looked over at the girl and said "who has done this to her."

Ruby said "my guess is Cora, why I don't know. She doesn't remember anything. It's like she went back in time."

Emma said "I'll handle this from here, thank you Ruby for keeping an eye on her."

Emma walked over to the booth and said "Are you Regina, my name is Emma."

Regina looked up from her hamburger that she was eating with a fork and knife and said "my name is Regina, who are you. I miss my daddy, have you found him yet."

Emma shook her head and noticed the little girl's expression turn saddened. Emma grabbed the girl's hand and said "don't worry Regina, if he is here I will find him." Of course she wouldn't but she couldn't tell this little girl that she had killed her own father. Even if it was Regina, because she did. Emma didn't understand how such a sweet little girl had turned so evil.

Regina said "thank you Emma, you all are very nice. I give you my gratitude."

Emma could have laughed, this was definitely Regina. Emma said "you are welcome, I am going to ask you some questions. How did you get here?"

Regina said " I couldn't tell you, I don't remember anything."

Emma said "that's ok, how old are you? Where is your mother?"

Regina said "mommy is not here, when I woke up in the odd building she wasn't there. I am 8."

Emma said "what building was that?"

Regina said "it's down the street a little, I walked here. I didn't know what else to do. I thought she might be somewhere different."

Emma said "do you think you could take me to the house Regina."

The little girl nodded as she said "yes but granny told me I could have a treat first. Mommy doesn't allow it, I have to have it before we look for her."

Emma nodded with a smile and said "I will go check on it ok?"

Regina nodded. Emma made her way to her parents and told them what she had learned.

They both couldn't believe it at first but they soon did after she told them about how much Regina talked about Cora.

Snow wanted to talk to the young Regina, so Emma sent her over there while she herself went to talk with Ruby again.

When Snow reaches the table she gave the little girl a smile and bowed. Regina did as well and said excitedly "you must be from my world. What's your name? Do you know where we are?"

Snow said "my name is Snow and my husband over there talking with my daughter Emma, his name is David. We are in a different realm. You will find a lot of things here are different, but don't let them scare you. They are harmless."

Regina liked this woman, she reminded her of a princess. She was so pretty and nice. Regina had found during her short life that, people were either like her mommy or like her daddy. Snow reminded her of her daddy.

Regina moved her long black hair from her eyes and said "thank you lady Snow, do

You think you can come to castle when we find my mommy. I would love for you to visit. I would have to ask permission first."

Snow said "I don't think we are going back to our realm. But that's ok, it's lovely here and I'm sure I will see you when you come back after you visit the house you woke up in."

Regina looked down, upset. She said "my mommy might be there, she wouldn't like me talking to you."

Snow said "oh, why wouldn't she like that? Either way I'm sure we will see each other again. I promise."

Regina smiled once again as she said "I do hope so, my mommy isn't very nice."

Snow said "I have met her sweetheart, and no she isn't nice."

Regina looked wide eyed at Snow and said "you have!, she wasn't nice to you either. I have never understood why she doesn't love me."

Snow said "of course she loves you, she must just not show it very well."

Regina shook her head and said "you have no idea, my daddy tries to stop her. But she doesn't listen to him."

Snow said "stop her from what sweetheart?"

Regina put her hand over her mouth and said "I shouldn't speak about my mommy in the manner that I am. I would be punished."

Snow said "that's ok, you don't have to tell me. We wouldn't want that."

Emma walked over to the booth with a cookie and said "Ruby made you something special."

Regina literally jumped from her seat in excitement. Emma sat next to her mother at the booth and put hot chocolate in front of Regina as well.

Regina put it to her lips and sipped, she was a little afraid. It smelled funny but Snow gave her a reassuring look and she drank some more. She drank it until it was gone and when she was done she had a brown mustache. Snow took a napkin and wiped Regina's lips to clear the chocolate.

Once Snow was done Regina said "that was the best beverage I have ever had!"

Snow said "eat the cookie next, it's even better."

Emma watched as her mother interacted with young Regina and it made her wish that she had grown up with her mother. She was such a sweet and loving human being. She also felt bad for Regina, she knew living with Cora must have been horrible.

Charming came over while Regina was eating her cookie. He kissed the top of her hand and told her his name. Regina was very excited to meet him since he was a prince. He sat in the booth next to her and said "how was the cookie."

Regina said "it was very delicious, when I get back with Emma could you tell me a story from when you were a prince?"

David nodded and said "I might even tell you two."

Regina said "oh thank you, Prince Charming I would love that."

Everyone suddenly looked towards the door after hearing the chime. Regina quickly jumped out of her seat and into the arms of the woman who just entered. Regina said "mommy!"

Cora lifted her daughter in her arms. Regina was afraid she was in trouble now. Cora never held her like this.

Emma said "put her down Cora, you are not taking that child anywhere."

Cora said "she is my daughter, we will be going now."

Emma said "after what you did to her, she isn't going with you."

Regina knew not to speak, she didn't want to interrupt her mommy. That would definitely make her angry. It always did.

Cora said "I didn't do anything to her, it was an accident. I'm taking her, and if any of you try and stop me I will kill you."

Emma went forward towards Cora and Regina but was sent flying back. While everyone rushed Emma's way Cora left with Regina.

Once the were outside Cora said "those are bad people, you will stay away from them."

Regina proudly said "mommy they are not, they were very nice."

Cora gave Regina a stern look and said "looks can be deceiving my child."

Regina said "you're just saying that because you don't like them."

Cora said "stop arguing with me Regina, be a good girl for mommy. Can you do that for me dear."

Regina nodded sadly and said "yes mommy." She hugged her around her neck. She liked when her mother held her. It soothed Regina, she put her head on her shoulder as the duo walked back to the house Regina had woken up in.
