This is an AU where Regina never married the king and Robin saved her with the true love kiss. No warnings this time. The idea came to me and I decided to share it with you. hope you like it. Reviews are appreciate...

Regina held Daniel's dead body on her arms and cried loudly. Her mother had just killed him in front of her eyes, erasing every hope she had to be free, happy and loved. She didn't share her mother's dream to become a Queen.

Her dreams were far from it. Regina wanted to explore the world, to ride her horse and run without any royal guards to follow behind her. She wanted to visit every small village and help the people who live there.

And she especially didn't want to marry an old man who was older than her own father. The King was kind with her but she couldn't bear the look in his eyes every time he stared at her. He looked at her like a hunter ready to devour his prey. Regina shuddered at the thought of letting him touch her.

Her father was on her side comforting her about Daniel's death. She begged him to help her escape, to cancel the wedding. But he was so afraid from her mother. He couldn't go against Cora's wishes. He tried to change Regina's mind and accepted the King as her future husband.

Before she realized ,they were on Leopold's castle and they prepared the wedding without asking her permission. One morning the door had opened and three women ran to her with wedding dresses. Regina felt lost and she stood frozen as they worked around her.

The wedding was on two days. Every minute closer to it, Regina felt like she was drowning. She needed air. She needed a way to escape. She preferred to die than be Leopold's wife.

One night , she heard the maids to talk about a new sorceress in the village. They said she was powerful and dangerous. Regina was afraid of magic but she decided that if she wanted to defeat her mother she needed to have some magical help. And she was determined to do everything.

That morning Regina went to the stables and took one of the horses. Before she had the chance to leave Cora appeared in front of her.

"Where do you think you are going Regina?" she asked serious.

"For a walk. I need fresh air. I haven't left the castle the last week. " Regina replied coldly.

"You can't escape Regina. I putted a spell around the Kingdom. You won't be able to leave." she said composed.

"I remember mother. Don't worry. I will be back in a few hours." Regina replied and she climbed on the horse and left without giving a second look at her mother.

Regina found the sorceress's cabin easy. The sorceress was popular to the villagers and they helped her found it. Regina arrived in less than an hour. She stepped down and tied the horse in a tree. Without losing time, Regina knocked the door.

A few seconds later , the door opened and a young boy appeared. He let her inside and Regina saw the sorceress. She was sitting having her back on her. Before Regina had a chance to speak the sorceress spoke first.

"It's a honor to have the Queen in my house. "the sorceress said amused.

"I'm not the Queen yet." Regina responded nervous.

"But you will be in two days . How can I help you my dear?" she replied and moved around to look at her.

"I need your help. I don't want to be Queen. I don't want to get married. My mother casted a spell around the Kingdom and I can't escape. I need your help to low the shield." Regina said anxiously. The sorceress was her last hope.

"I'm afraid I can't do anything about it my dear. Her magic is powerful and stronger than mine." she responded softly.

"Please. Is there anything you can do to help me? I prefer to die but I won't go back. It is a fate worse than death." Regina said tearfully.

"I can do something. But I want something in exchange. Magic comes with a price dear." the sorceress replied seriously.

"What do you want?" Regina asked immediately.

"A need one of your tears. The tears of true love's lost are powerful. " the sorceress replied.

"And what will you do to help me?" Regina asked gentle.

The sorceress moved to the edge of the cabin and took something from her chest.

"You said you would do anything to avoid the wedding. This..." the sorceress began and showed her a needle "is filled with a sleeping curse. If you use it, you will sink into a deep sleep. Nothing will be able to wake you up except the true love's kiss. Do we have a deal?" sorceress added and Regina nodded.

Regina returned to the castle late that evening. Her mother waited for her and when she saw her , she dragged her to the dining room. After a long and unpleasant dinner, Regina asked permission to leave. Giving a last long hug to her father ,Regina went to her chamber and locked her door.

The next morning her father knocked her door but he didn't received an answer. He began to worry and he asked one guard to break the door. As soon the lock broke, her father ran inside and found Regina on her bed. He went beside and he began to shake her. She seemed to sleep but he couldn't wake her up.

Cora with the King were at the dining room and having breakfast. Henry ran inside and informed them about Regina's state. Cora ran to her daughter and examined her. After a few minutes Leopold saw the letter on the table and read it aloud.

Dear father and mother,

I tried to change your minds. It wasn't my dream to be the Queen. All I wanted is to be free. I know this is going to make you sad and angry but I had no choice. It all happened so sudden and I had no idea how to escape. Please forgive me about my decision. I wanted to make you proud but I can't give mother what she wants.

I will always love you,

your daughter Regina.

"What did you do stupid girl?" Cora screamed to Regina with tears.

"It's your fault." Henry yelled to Cora. "You pushed her and she reacted."

"Do you think I wanted it?" Cora hissed to him. "All I wanted for her is to have a nice home and life."

"No. You wanted her to live YOUR dream." he replied irritated.

"ENOUGH!" Leopold stopped them. "This is the new reality now. I will send a messenger to the fairies. They maybe can help." he added and left without looking at Regina.

Somewhere deep in the forest:

"Robin!" little John yelled running back to the camp. "Robin."

"What's going on little John?" he asked worried coming out of his tent.

"The royal wedding is off." he explained. "The whole kingdom speaks about it."

"The King changed his mind?" Robin asked confused.

"No." little John replied breathless. "The future Queen is under a sleeping curse. She took it herself because she didn't wish to become a Queen." he added

"That's new. I would never imagine there is a woman like her." Robin said amused.

"There is a rumor she was in love with someone else. He was a stable boy and they tried to escape." Little John continued.

"And what happened ?" Alan asked curious.

"I don't know exactly but he died before she moved to the castle." little John answered.

"She has guts. I will give it to her." Alex said laughing.

"Okay. Enough with the gossip. We just lost a great opportunity. Let's go back to our jobs." Robin stopped them and the merry man nodded silent.

Robin looked at the blue sky and his only thought was the almost mysterious young Queen.

Two months later, Cora and Henry moved Regina back to their house. Snow asked her father to keep her in the castle but he disagreed. He was mad with the Mills family about everything had happened. He felt humiliate and his proud was hurt.

Blue had visited them after King's request to examined Regina. She said there wasn't anything she could do. Only a true love's kiss could wake her up. Cora blamed herself for Regina's state. She spend many hours holding her hand, whispering apologies. She had regret her actions. She swore if Regina wake up one day, she would respect her decisions and she wouldn't be a barrier. If only...

With Daniel died Cora and Henry lost every hope for her daughter. How would she find true love in her state? They couldn't let everyone to come and kiss her hoping one of them to be her second chance to love.

And the solution came by a green blonde fairy named Tinkerbell. She would use some pixie dust and along with Cora's magic ,it would lead them to her soulmate.

Tinkerbell with Cora began their journey to find him early the next day. After Tinkerbell released some Pixie dust over Regina's body and Cora casted a spell , the green light began to show them the way. Three days they were walking until they found themselves out of a small tavern. Cora and Tinkerbell looked through the window and the light stopped at a man with blond hair. They couldn't see his face but they saw he had a lion tattoo on his left hand.

Cora didn't waste time and entered the tavern. She went and introduce herself to the unknown man and she sat with him explaining him everything. Robin was speechless while he was listening Cora and Tinkerbell and he agreed to go with them and try to help.

Cora was grateful about it. She wanted Regina to be happy and loved. She wasn't happy about Robin. He was a thief and it made Cora upset. But she had promised to stay out of Regina's life. It didn't matter anymore the titles or the money. She only wanted her baby girl back.

As soon they arrived back to the house, Cora took Robin to Regina's chamber. Cora stayed anxiously on the door as Robin made his way to her side. He looked for the first time the sleeping woman and his breath caught in his throat. He never saw a more beautiful woman in his life. Her face was peaceful and she looked like an angel. He was falling for this woman and he had just met her.

Robin stared at her and he sat beside her. He found himself leaning to her. His eyes were drawn to her marvelous face and her red lips. He pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and ran his fingers on her face as he leaned to connected his lips to hers. He didn't kiss her to wake her up. He kissed her because he wanted to feel her lips against his.

Robin had closed his eyes during the kiss and he missed the blue light around them. When he pulled back, he watched Regina to open her eyes slowly. Regina took a big deep breath and opened her eyes and saw Robin. Robin's eyes were glued to her face as she looked at him puzzled. Before she had the opportunity to speak, her parents were in the bed and pulled her in a tight hug.

Robin moved away from the bed giving them some space. He couldn't take his eyes from Regina and he saw her smiling to him.

Robin and Regina spent their time together. Regina felt relaxed and happy around him. She felt like she wasn't alone anymore and that was still place for love in her heart. Regina left her life and parents and followed Robin on his mission. She was thrilled to travel and help as he did.

It took two years until Regina admitted her feelings and gave a second chance to love. Six months later they were married and fifteen months later they welcomed their first child. A beautiful boy named Henry Daniel Locksley and five years later a second boy named Roland and a baby girl named Destiny.

Until today, everyone speaks and recounts stories about the brave and kind thief and his beautiful family who stole from the riches to give to the poor. Until today they inspired many people giving hope for a better world.
