A/N: This is a Dark Snow Queen story with a bit of equally Dark Evil Charming. The Regina of this fic is unrepentantly evil and what she's doing is manipulative and evil.


"Charming?" Snow called out as she walked along the roadside near the town line. She'd last seen him heading out of town and with the curse broken she was worried he'd crossed before the end. She needed to find him. Needed to find Emma...

"Perhaps your royal motto should have been 'we'll always loose each other'." Snow turned around to see Regina walking towards her. Her own Mercedes parked behind Snow's truck. The one she no doubt spray painted.

"Regina you look like a mess." She inhaled, as the woman, even in a rumpled suit and eyes clearly red from crying managed to look more regal than she ever did. "What happened to Henry."

She smiled a kind of weird smile, "He broke the curse. He and Emma."

"You... sound proud." Snow said quietly as her eyes traveled along the tree lines to see if there was an escape. "I'm glad he's okay."

"So am I." Regina actually smiled sadly. "Even if I've lost him forever. He's alive."

She was still advancing on her and Snow realized she was backing up now.

"Regina, what do you want?"

"Oh, you see. I want what has always been mine to take." She gave a humorless little smile. "I knew the possibility of the curse breaking was strong. I've known it since Emma arrived. But do you really think I didn't have a backup plan for you?"

She withdrew a vile of greenish liquid from her pocket.

"Regina... you don't need to do anything drastic."

"Of course not, Snow. I don't have to. But really what else do I have left but our old game?"

Snow decided to risk it, she knew woods better than Regina ever did and she was in better shoes for running. She got ten feet before the vines came out of both sides of the woods capturing her around the arms, and legs, and body holding her up in the air. "You... you have magic."

"Yes, I do. One can always count on Rumplestiltskin to need his power. But for him to have his I get to have mine." Regina walked calmly, with a smile on her face. She circles around so she was facing Snow.

"You can stop struggling dear... you won't get free of those. I know I tried once."

"Regina... please, I know you don't want to do this."

That made her laugh. "Of course I want to do it dear. I've wanted to do it since I was 20 and you were shaping into the selfish little bitch you'd become as an adult."

She ran the back of her fingers along her cheek. "You look beautiful like this. Do you know that?"

"Scared?"

"Yes." Regina tilted her head.

"You can't win Regina. You know that villains never win..."

Regina started making little waving motions with one hand, bringing her fingers together with her thumb. "Yap yap yap. So convinced of yourself righteousness. Always thinking you are innocent. But you see, I know you."

She touched a hand to Snow's chest above her heart and Snow could feel herself stop breathing. "Are you going to crush my heart?"

Regina smiled. "You know I don't think I ever wanted that. Maybe when I hired the incompetent huntsman. Maybe. But no. I want from you what you took from me. You and your father made me your playmate and pet and now I'm going to do the same to you."

"Regina... you don't mean..."

"You think I don't know what lusts you hold? But no. I'm not taking that from you. I know you. When I'm done not only will you come to me, but you'll come begging to me."

Snow shook her head, to horrified to answer, but also too embarrassed. She had ... dreams... desires that she never told anyone. "You put a spell on me."

Regina laughed. "Always a way with words Snow. Have you told all the people you want to sleep with that they've cursed you?"

"I ... you cursed me."

"You can't make someone feel the way you do Snow." Regina removed the stopper from the file in her hand.

"What is that?" Snow asked quietly.

"It lowers inhibitions. Just to help your own instincts along." Regina sneered. "I just want to make sure before you find you dear prince that you are ... mindful of your other options."

"You can't make someone love them Regina."

"Oh no. But I can help the darkness in your heart along." Regina squeezed her face hard enough to force Snow's mouth open and suddenly she was choking down the vile tasting thick green liquid. Nearly choking on it but Regina held her mouth shut until she was forced to swallow.

"You ... can't win. You know..."

"Heroes always win? Is that where this sentence is going?" Regina seemed deeply amused. "Villains always loose? Well that seemed to be true in our world. But you see, relying on that would mean that you are a hero, and I'm a villain. The universe doesn't care about villains."

Regina gave her a huge smile, but her eyes were dead.

"What..."

"I know dear, that you, pure as driven snow and your sainted prince. I know what you did." She leaned in close to whisper in her ear. "Being a hero doesn't protect you when you aren't one. You have no idea how much fun I'm going to have with you. That darkness in your heart. That feeling creeping over you. I know it all too well and I'm going to have so much fun destroying you with it."

She kissed her on the cheek.

"I will see you dear."

She turned around and as she was walking away she waved a hand and Snow fell to the ground hard, landing on all fours and looking up as the Queen calmly got into her car and drove away.
