CHAPTER 1

Regina sighs looking down at her drink swirling it before drowning it down. She finally cursed snow white and got her happy ending but after 5 years of the exact same thing over and over, she feels empty. She decided to finally explore this new realm she took them too,going to one place that seem interesting on the internet : Atlanta.

She sits in some bar she found looking around at the interior of the place. She orders another drink deciding this would be one of those drunk nights the bass of the music floating through the speakers. She looks down at her empty tumbler not noticing someone watching her from afar. The bartender sets the drink down with another one. Regina looks at it with confusion looking at the guy "I only order the smaller drink" she says with an raised eyebrow.

He nods "I know but the other one from the man over over there" he points to the booth in the back where the guys and two girls are at.

She hums taking it mouthing a ' thank you ' to the guy getting up with the drink going towards the table. She gets there the two guards surrounding the table moving closer to block her. She breathes an air of annoyance looking at the guy "i just want want to give the person who order this back" she says looking at the guy with an raised eyebrow.

A man chuckles watching her and the guard "let her through" he says looks up at her his features hard to make out in the dim lighted bar "I take it you got my gift" he says.

She nods putting on a fake smilie "yes and I have you know I'm not one of those girls who you can buy a drink for then get them in your bed" she says putting the drink on the table in front of him.

"you have to try harder then that" she says turning around walking back where she was her hips slightly swaying. He bites his lips watching her. The men with him humming "she a tough one man why don't you get one of these easier ladies?" He ask looking at him pulling one of the ladies at the table closer.

He shakes his head watching Regina at the bar drinking "no her. She the woman I been looking for " he says bringing his drink to his mouth drinking some of it.

The guy looks at the girl also "Mhm if you say so but she will be a little difficult" He says to him.

He nods "good I love a challenge" he says looking at her seeing her pay for her drinks walking out. He makes eye contact with her smirking. Regina looks at him seeing him looking at her rolling her eyes walking out calling an uber to her hotel. He watches "oh yeah...She perfect" he says smirking.

Regina looks through her window checking to see if the town was outside her house. The curse finally broke. The one thing that was suppose to give her happy ending finally broke and now everyone memories are coming back. She sighs pacing Henry's condition on her mind.

She wish she could see her baby boy but she knows with everyone waking up it will be bloodshed if she leaves. She moves to her liquor cabinet needing a drink to take her mind off of the stress of things. She pours herself a drink going outside to her apple tree. She sits beside it holding her drink smiling the memories of her tree going through her head.

She raises the glass to her mouth stopping hearing a rushing sound coming from the woods seeing a purple cloud come towards her. She smirks putting her glass down whispering breathless "magic" she says to herself smiling "Oh I miss you" she says as the cloud moves over her.

Regina sits in the corner of a bar in a small restaurant. She peered down at the menu in front of her realizing it looked just like granny. She sighted putting the menu down glancing up at the bartender "I'll take a coffee,black with pancakes" she said passing the menu to him "and hurry it up".

The bartender nods hurrying to the back to get her order. She looks down at her nails suddenly hearing a bell ring over the door. A handsome, masculine guy walks in going to the bar counter. He looks around looking for the bartender sighing. He leans against the counter glancing to his left seeing the woman from The club "well well, look who we have here" he says to her smirking.

Regina turns to the guy seeing it the guy from the club. She groans rolling her eyes "its you, Come to have round two of ordering for me to try and get in my pants?" She ask.

He shakes his head "no i came to order like everyone else but seeing a beautiful woman is just a bonus " he says winking at her. The bartender comes back with Regina stuff looking up seeing Michael sucking in a breath of air . He starts moving back to the back rushing to get his stuff.

Michael looks at her "so what's a woman like you doing here ?" He ask. Regina looks at him with an raised eyebrow "like me? " she says.

"Yeah someone who is obviously new here in atlanta" he says to her. Regina narrows her eyes at him " how did you know I was new here?" She ask him with an raised eyebrow.

He hums looking down for a second looking back at her " let's just say if you weren't, YOU would know who i am" he says looking at her smirking.

The bartender comes back out with his food giving to to him. Regina hums looking at him grabbing her coffee drinking it. "you know I never got your name" Michael says taking his stuff

"and you will never get it" Regina says moving her coffee from her lips glancing at him before going back drinking it.

He chuckles "well till I see you again, my angel" he says winking at her walking out. Regina watch a small smile on her face. She chuckles turning back to her coffee and food.

She picks up her fork shaking her head "well this will be interesting " she says starting to eat a small smile still on her face from the mystery guy.

Regina breaths in the air feeling the buzz feeling of her magic beneath her skin. She looks up at the mirror seeing a faint sign of her magic in her eyes. She smiles a small smile seeing it feeling strong again. She hears noises and her name being yelled outside her door. She hears someone bang on her door recognizing it being Dr. whale.

She rolls her eyes putting on her evil queen facade walking towards the door opening it "Well isn't this sweet? Everyone here to see me" she says smirking walking towards them watching them back up.

Dr. Whale steps forward hands balled looking at her "all we want is to see you dead" he hisses.

Regina looks at hum putting on a fake pout " aw little ol' me?" She ask before smirking rolling her eyes sending her magic out to him to send him flying. She looks seeing him not affected her shock and surprise showing "this is not possible" she whispers looking at her hands seeing small fragments of her magic showing.

The town see nothing happening coming up with the conclusion-she has no magic. Dr. Whale laughs looking at her grabbing her neck pushing her to the wall. She gasp hiding her fear looking at him. He chuckles "who in charge now bitch?" He says squeezing her neck slightly.

Regina chokes slightly feeling him squeeze harder. He grins watching her squirm not noticing Emma and her parents show up. Emma runs up pushing whale off of Regina looking at him "she lives" she says to him standing slightly in front of her "in fact she arrested" she says says grabbing Regina cuffing her.

Regina grunts from the pressure walking down stairs with her head high passing by the looks of everyone. Emma puts her in the squad car ignoring everyone looking at her parents sighing "let's talk later" she says before getting in driving off.

She gets to the station putting Regina in a cell looking at her "oh and Henry fine if you are wondering" she says walking to the coffee station.

Regina sighs in relief moving to the back of the cell turning towards the wall rubbing her red neck. Emma sighs drinking the nasty coffee " I can't believe Henry was right" she mumbles moving towards Regina cell standing in front of it.

She drinks her coffee sitting on the edge of the desk oblivious to the group walking in. Michael walks inside the police station looking around. He finally got to the place where his fiance phone tracker went off 10 years ago. He looks around seeing the blonde woman "excuse me, I'm looking for someone?" He says looking at her.

Emma turns around confused "who are you?" She ask him . He looks up at her eyes with his brown ones crossing his arms "my name is Michael and I'm looking for Regina".
