Author's Note: This idea has been in my head for a while. I wanted to throw it out there and see what happens.
If you don't know who Regina/The Evil Queen is...she's a fairytale character from the ABC show Once Upon a Time created by Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis.
Chapter 1
Britt sat in her apartment watching Once Upon a Time. She didn't think she would like the show but she felt drawn to the character of Regina/The Evil Queen. They were a lot alike. If she was real, Britt would probably be friends with her.
They had a lot in common. Especially when it came to their mothers. Their mothers were mothers from hell. Always interfering and using them as pawns for their own agendas.
They weren't bad people but they did impulsive things. Both of them craved love. And they never got it from the way they wanted it.
Britt shook her head. "I'm seriously comparing myself to a fairytale character. Ugh, I really do need a life," she muttered. She prepared for bed and clicked off the tv. She feel asleep.
Britt woke up surrounded by trees. "What in the world?" she muttered. She quickly got up and walked to the road. "Where the heck am I?" She went to try to flag a car down but none came.
"Great, now I have to walk to the nearest town," she thought. She was still confused on how she ended up in a forest. She saw something approach and she waved for it to stop. However, the carriage came fast and she barely had time to get out of the way.
Britt groaned in frustration and yelled, "Don't you see someone standing here? You could have killed me!"
The carriage stopped and a woman got out. Britt froze. Her eyes glued on the figure before her. "No, no, no. This cannot be happening. How did I end up here? How did I end up in the Enchanted Forest?"
She saw Regina walk up to her. She saw how Regina eyed her suspiciously. "Who are you?"
"Britt," she replied nervously. Regina hummed. "Britt. Why were you in the middle of the road?"
"I was trying to catch a ride until your stupid driver nearly killed me!" She shouted the last part to the driver. Regina chuckled. "Isn't this your lucky day?"
"Why?" she asked suspiciously. "Clearly you are lost. I have room for you in my castle. I'll be nice today and let you ride with me. Now, what do you say?" Regina asked.
"Thank you," she said. Regina waited for her to say your majesty as anybody should but she didn't. "Do you know who I am?"
Britt debated whether to tell the truth. How do you explain that five minutes ago you were in Port Charles watching her on TV and now you are standing in her presence? "I want to keep my head. I'll just lie and figure out a way to wake up," she thought.
"No. I don't know who you are," Britt answered. For a second,she could have sworn she saw relief in her eyes. "Regina, the Queen," she said not fully understanding how this woman could not know who she was.
"Your majesty," Britt said curtseying. "Come," Regina said walking toward the carriage. Britt stood there for a second. She really just talked to the Evil Queen. "Are you coming or should I leave you to get hit by another carriage?" Regina asked noticing that Britt hadn't moved.
Britt walked toward the carriage and got in. Regina stared at the woman. There was something about her that felt relatable.
"What kingdom do you hail from?" Regina asked. Britt wracked her brain for a suitable answer. "Um, the kingdom of...Port Charles." Regina tilted her head. "I've never heard of it."
"It's really faraway. Not worth looking for," Britt said. Regina nodded. "Are you married? I'm sure your family is searching for you."
"I haven't been so lucky," she muttered. "And my parents...we don't see eye to eye."
Regina looked out the window making a mental note to ask this Britt about this Port Charles and her parents.
Britt was relieved Regina stopped talking. She needed to wake up and fast. She glanced at Regina before turning away. "God help me. What did I get myself into?"
