A/N: Well, here ya go! The last segment of Once Upon a Oneshots. I have really enjoyed writing these and I really hope that people will enjoy reading them too. I am sorry, but I will not be making a oneshot for the finale. It was just too mind-blowingly awesome to compare, so this is it! Hope you have enjoyed them all and please review!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the epic characters (and David/Charming) in the television series Once Upon a Time, those belong to the creators, writers, and ABC. these characters were brought to life by the amazing actors that play them (and Josh Dallas; just kidding) :)

"Well congratulations, Regina. You finally won." And with that Snow took a huge bite of the apple.

It tasted bitter, the chunk choking her as it slid down her throat. The choking intensified as she swallowed the bite, her vision blurring and her heart racing. Snow fell to the ground, the apple still in her hand, Regina's laughter the last thing she hears before everything goes black.

After a moment of darkness images began passing by Snow in a whirlwind. Regina when she first met her, her father's funeral, meeting Charming, taking the potion.

Stop! Snow thought with all her might, jolting from where she had been laying. What had just happened? Snow looked around to get a grip of her surroundings.

She was in a very nice bed, an embroidered blanket covering her body. Pulling the blanket away, Snow sat up and turned to the edge of her bed so her feet were dangling on the side. As her eyes became adjusted to the darkness Snow stood up and began walking. She wasn't sure where she was going but somehow her feet knew where to take her.

As she moved along the stone walls of this strange place, Snow began to figure out where she was, and the thought filled her with dread.

She was in Regina's home, or rather, old home. As she passed a window she could see the fields surrounding the estate. Snow finally made it outside, the cool night air making her shiver.

Where was she going? She got her answer a few seconds later when she saw the stable up ahead. Just outside was a little girl, a small saddle in hand, approaching the stable doors.

"Don't open them!" Snow wanted to yell to the little girl, to warn her. But her child self paid no mind, entering the opening and freezing, her eyes wide in shock and confusion.

Snow shook her head as she saw little Snow running into the nearby woods, Regina calling out to her.

Oh, how different she looked, her voice even sounded different, no evil or malice behind any of her words, only fear.

And you were the one that ruined it for her, a voice seemed to hiss to her. Snow turned to see where the voice had come from, but couldn't find its source.

Then, all around her the world began to shift, turning and turning, sunlight invading and she found herself inside Regina's house again, gazing at the sweet little flowers in the room.

Snow watched with tear filled eyes as Regina's mother spoke to her, tricking her younger self into giving her the information she needed.

"Then don't make her marry my father," her younger self said, the words filling Snow with despair.

It's all your fault, the disembodies voice hissed at her. Snow didn't even bother whirling around, uncaring of where the voice came from. All you had to do was keep a simple secret, not say a word, but you just had to play right into the old crow's hand didn't you! The tears Snow had been trying to keep at bay began to flow as she heard this.

"I didn't know!" she yelled, falling to her knees as the scene began to change again. Now she was in the stable, Daniel, Regina and her mother there. Her mother was speaking to Regina and Snow knew all too well what was going to happen.

She screamed and cried as she saw Daniel's body fall, lifeless as Regina cried and held him in her arms.

A man is dead because of you, Snow White, all because of you.

"I didn't know! I was just a child!" Snow screamed and shouted, yelling at the unseen voice. The scene once again began to shift and change, Snow steeling herself for what would come next.

She saw herself, older now, listening to her father's speech. She hugged him and everyone cheered, except Regina and Leopold's guest, the genie.

Snow watched again, unable to prevent the images or stop what would come next as she saw what had happened to this poor genie, falling for Regina's con and standing there hopeless as those snakes bit into her father, standing there sobbing as he drew his last breath.

Another life you have ruined and destroyed, Snow White, another death all because of you. Snow cried and weeped, her shoulders heaving as each sob brought a new wave of pain.

"How could I have prevented this?" she asked the voice, hoping for some solace in her haze of grief. All that answered was another change, the world shifting again as she stood and watched herself meet her best friend.

"Red," Snow moaned, watching as she followed Red into her home. She saw as her and Red traded cloaks and as Red hurried away. Snow watched as Red talked to Peter, as she chained him up, and then was forced to stand there as the Wolf ripped the helpless man to pieces. Snow wasn't sure she would ever stop crying, the pain she saw in Red's eyes when the cloak was put on her too much.

"Why are you doing this!" Snow screamed into the sky, her face looking up in anguish. "What have I done to deserve this? Haven't I suffered enough!" Her pain and heartbreak was only met by another memory, another horrendous outcome.

It seemed that these images would go on forever, always changing, always becoming worse and worse as they wore on. Snow was unsure how long she had been forced to sit by and idly watch things happen that was out of her control. Her pain never lessened, only increasing as the eternity wore on.

Death will always follow you, you are a curse to everyone you meet, the voice hissed in the whirlwind of images. The only way you could ever achieve happiness is by destroying everyone else's.

"That's not true," Snow wailed into the void of memories, long since giving up any hope of relieving herself from this torture.

As time passed, months, years, decades it seemed, Snow gave up all hope. She soon succumbed to the darkness, hopelessness and self loathing invading her very core. No matter what she did, the images and voice kept coming, turning even happier memories into ones of pure misery.

It had been years since Snow had ever felt happiness, grief and despair encasing her like a tomb. She never ate, never slept, just watched these horrendous things come and go, come and go. One memory, though, filled Snow with something else.

When she looked upon this new change, Snow was ready for whatever pain came her way, so used to the pain she had caused she almost didn't feel it. She looked up and gave a gasp. Even though she was sure this instance would bring some new unfound pain, Snow let any other thought leave her head, filling her eyes with the one person that mattered.

Charming stood there, looking up at her from the net in the tree. Snow drank in every part of him, her cold numb body starting to warm as she focused on him. She could hear the voice hissing something at her, but she was too occupied to notice.

He was here, for the first time ever, Charming was here and she couldn't be happier. Gone was the voice from her head, warmth now flooding every pore of her being.

She managed to stand, drying her tears with her hand, rushing up to her true love, a smile slowly beginning to form on her lips. Even though he couldn't see her, Snow stood and gazed into his eyes, reaching out to touch his face.

"I will always find you," he whispered, not from the phantom standing next to her, but inside her head, inside her heart. "You have to keep fighting, Snow, for us," he said.

"I will, I will, Charming," Snow whispered, a new strength beginning to build up inside of her. Yes, she had to fight, to help all of her friends.

The pain was ripped from her body, the warming glow she felt for Charming all that was left. Her memories began to change, to shift into one's of happiness, delight.

"We're all waiting for you," Red said to her.

"Yea, come on, Snow, you can fight it!" Grumpy yelled at her, a fist raised in triumph. Everyone, her friends, her loved one's, everyone she ever cared about surrounded her in a loving circle. Snow beamed at all the smiling faces, knowing that she was never the problem, that this was the curse Regina had put on her.

When it seemed like Snow's heart would burst with joy, she opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

Looking up, Snow met the blue eyes she feared she would never see again.

"Charming," Snow said, a smile coming to face. Charming gave her a smile and for just that moment, Snow knew she was safe.
