Regina & Queenie
"Take her away.. and hurry her along... the stench of peasant is overwhelming." Said the Queen in a disgusted tone. Right now she was in control, Regina's consciousness was taking more of a backseat at the moment. "The smell isn't so bad. Why must you say things like that?" Regina asked, looking at her twin. All of this of course taking place in the faction of a few seconds and in her own mind. "We shouldn't do this. She probably doesn't know where Snow White is anyway. What would killing her accomplish?" Regina protested though her darker side kept hold. The young peasant woman shouted out how she felt sorry for the Queen, that she pitied her, that if she had someone to look out for, to love she wouldn't do this, she'd understand. Moving closer to the peasant woman the Queen smirked. "You know nothing of what I understand. Everything I do has a purpose. She dies, tomorrow. And each day another subject of mine will die until someone delivers Snow White to me, alive." The peasant girl was ushered off by the knights. Regina looked away, overcome with guilt. If it were only her, she wasn't sure she could do such a thing. Filled with doubt about what had just happened the Queen took Regina's hand and smiled confidently. "Let's go dear. We should get back to the castle." Regina far too weak at this moment to argue only nodded and was led away by her twin. Of course, Regina and the Queen were the same person, one person, one body. But two very different minds. Regina was gentle, kind, level headed. The Queen was brutal, direct, and hot headed. Together they made one very interesting person.

Heart Failure The new heart that Regina and her son had been trying to create for Graham had failed. To create a new heart was simply beyond both of their abilities and without a new heart Graham was at the mercy of fate. While he had returned to the land of the living his current heart was weak, since it had been the cause of his death previously. While he had the best medical care that modern medicine could offer it wasn't enough. At any time his heart could fail and there would be nothing to save him from having a massive heart attack and dying again.
He and Regina had received this news only a few hours ago. While it was discouraging for Graham he didn't seem to be outwardly upset about it, not like Regina. At home together they sat in the living room on the sofa. Graham was reading while Regina sat silently or at least she attempted to. Occasionally she couldn't help a soft sniffle and a quick wipe beneath her eyes. It didn't take Graham long to notice.
Turning his head to look at her he did just that, staring at her for a few moments before he finally spoke. "What's wrong?" He asked. Regina turned her head to look at him for a moment before scoffing softly and turning her head away, again wiping a few tears. "You're going to die.. and I can't stop it." She said quietly.
"Regina.." he began. "We're all gonna die one day.." he began before Regina cut him off quickly. "Right. Except your heart is going to fail you sooner or later and again you are going to.." tearing up more she frowned. "And it's my fault. It's all my fault." She said shaking her head.
"Regina I was given a chance to return. To make amends with you.. find my son... reunited with Henry and meet Adrian." He said moving to take her hands. "I was here to see the birth of our children. To know we finally had not one but two children. I've gotten to name them and know them. Even if I die tomorrow.. again... I have more than I could ever ask for. Shouldn't we make the most of whatever time we have?" He asked.
Regina knew he was right, they shouldn't be worrying and she certainly shouldn't be grieving something that hadn't happened yet however, she couldn't help but worry, she couldn't help but feel guilty. Giving her hands a gentle squeeze Graham smiled, Regina returned his smile with a weak somewhat sad smile of her own. She knew they should make the most of whatever time they had. She just couldn't stand the idea of losing him again.

The King Regina's marriage to King Leopold, she rarely spoke of it. At this point in her life, why would she? The man had been dead and gone for years. And while she had a hand in his death and showed no outward, genuine grief in his passing things between them hadn't always been so terrible. The King had his good moments however, his marrying the child of his former fiance, that was something that would never quite be right.
The night before Regina's wedding there had been lots of tears from Regina. She begged and pleaded with her father and mother not to allow this wedding to happen. She didn't want to marry the King. She didn't love him and that aside he was a year older than Henry! Regina begged and pleaded, she promised Cora she'd marry a young aristocrat, someone of high standing, anyone of Cora's choosing. Just not the King!
Regina's pleas had fallen on deaf ears. Cora refused to stop the wedding and Henry? He was powerless to stop any of this. He wanted to rescue his daughter from this fate but he knew neither he nor Regina could stand against Cora and her plans. This wedding was happening whether Regina wanted it to or not.
Alone in her bedroom Regina stood on her balcony, crying quietly. Her cries could be heard through the castle since her room had no door. She was startled from her grief when she heard a voice, a soft voice. "Regina?"
Jumping a little Regina stepped back and turned. Seeing the King she instantly bowed in respect to him. "Your Majesty.." she said quickly and began sniffling back her tears and wiping her eyes. King Leopold simply stared at his young bride to be for a few moments before holding out his hand. "Come with me." He said in a gentle tone.
For a moment Regina was hesitant however, what could she do? She couldn't deny him. So reluctantly she took his hand and allowed him to lead her through the castle and outside to one of the many gardens. These gardens were in somewhat disrepair.
"These parts of the gardens.. none of my servants can get anything to grow." He said glancing to Regina. "I've heard you like gardening. Perhaps.. after we marry these can become your personal gardens?" He suggested. Regina was surprised by the offer but gave a slight smile. "Thank you." She said softly.
Regina stopped when they reached the center of the garden, there stood her apple tree, the tree she had left back at her father's home. The tree she had met Daniel under so many nights. Beneath this tree she and Daniel had shared so many moments. Moments she couldn't ever tell anyone about.
Once again Regina teared up and began to cry silently now. The King seemed uncertain to see her crying again. "I know you are hesitant to marry me Regina. But I am trying to make you happy." He said, his tone perhaps a bit gruffer now but still not angry.
Quickly Regina nodded, she couldn't be unappreciative. She was sure moving the tree here took some doing and she did appreciate the gesture. She was still just so sad. But she couldn't show that now. Forcing a smile she nodded "thank you, your Majesty. These.. are happy tears. No one has ever done something like this for me." She said softly.
She was surprised when the King kissed her. She wanted to pull away but she knew better. The kiss had been a surprise but surprisingly it wasn't awful. It just wasn't what she wanted. She returned the kiss though and this made the King smile. "You will be the perfect Queen." He said sounding certain in his words now.

mother Despite how Regina often recounted her life married to the King, mothering Snow White it wasn't always awful. Yes, it was awful a lot. Mostly to do with the King, occasionally to do with Snow White. But there were rare occasions where Regina and Snow White had maternal moments. Between the two there was a sort of connection and understanding. But with it always being forced it so rarely showed itself naturally.
At the moment Regina was in bed. She had fallen down some stairs and she was recovering from the injuries she got in that accident. Most knew the truth, the doctors, the servants, the King. But the truth would never be revealed. Nothing that would tarnish the beloved King's reputation would be brought to light.
Laying alone in bed Regina cried quietly. Something she often did when she was alone. She no longer liked giving the King nor his servants the satisfaction of seeing her cry when they were around. Her soft sniffles were all that could be heard in the room until the sound of footsteps.
The steps were light so Regina knew who it must be. "Mother?" A soft voice called out. Quickly wiping away her tears Regina forced a smile. "Snow.. uh... what do you want?" She asked. With concern, Snow White moved to Regina's side. "You're crying? Are you in pain? Should I get the doctors?!" She asked hastily.
Quickly Regina shook her head "no. No Snow I'm okay. I just.. was hurting a little. But I'm fine." She tried to assure her. At the moment Snow White was now sixteen so she was slightly wiser to Regina and her lies. She was sure Regina wasn't alright but she couldn't understand why.
"Mother.. what truly happened?" She asked. Heaving a quiet sigh Regina looked to Snow White. "Stop calling me that. I'm not your mother. I'm not her." The two shared a look for a moment and Snow nodded in agreement. "What happened Regina?" She asked again.
Regina gave a bitter laugh before looking away. Frowning Snow White took her hand. "Whatever happened.. tell my father... surely he'll see whoever did it punished." Regina glanced at her and Snow's hands together for a few moments. She wanted to tell Snow the truth. Wanted to unload years of truths and traumas. But she knew she most likely wouldn't be believed and if she was? Snow White would lose the only parent she had left.
Holding Snow's hand Regina gently and soothingly touched Snow's arm. "Nothing happened dear. I really did slip. You.. know how high I like to wear my heels." The two shared a small laugh before they also shared a sigh. Both felt uncertain about the situation but what more was to be said?

ɪ'ᴍ ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴛ
I'm PregnantQueen Regina, the people knew very little about her. After the wedding day she was rarely seen in public and when she was her beloved husband and stepdaughter were usually at her side. She might have had the title of Queen but truthfully she had few regal responsibilities. Her main purpose was to mother the young princess and when she wasn't doing that she was meant to be a comfort to her husband, Outwardly it seemed she had it all but behind closed doors Regina felt completely alone, imprisoned, and very much trapped by her current situation. Only one thing had recently begun to make it bearable. The Huntsman, Graham. Life wasn't so awful with him around. The King had employed him to protect Regina. By now he had done far more than just protect the Queen. While she was the king's comfort Graham had become hers. But unlike with the King, there was a love between the Queen and her huntsman. One that she felt, that she hoped might be mutual. "I'm pregnant." Regina said simply, Graham stood beside her. The two stared at each other for a moment. Normally this might be considered happy news but nothing about Regina nor this entire situation was normal. Graham's initial thought, and feeling on the matter was excitement! Pregnant. Would he be a father? Or would.. the excitement quickly subsided and was replaced with disgust and anger.
He could possibly be the father of Regina's child. There had been a few moments of weakness between them but someone else could have been the father was well. The King. Regina was his wife and she was still expected to perform her wifely duties on a regular basis, partly to possibly produce a new heir, a male one.
"Is it.. mine?" Graham asked gently in his thick accent. Tearfully Regina shook her head. She couldn't be certain who was the father of her child. The few times she had been with Graham she had also been with the King either before or after. She had no way to pinpoint when the pregnancy occurred.
"I don't know.." she finally said before breaking down into sobs. She had never thought her life would become this. Married to a brutish old man, having a love affair with a king and gentle man. She had always imagined when she had a child it would be with the man she loved, Daniel.
That dream had long since been gone now but here she was pregnant and unsure of the father. She wanted it to be Graham's, at least she loved him and she felt he loved her. There was no love between her and the King. There was regret, unhappiness, misery.
Shaking her head Regina covered her face and cried. Slowly Graham sat beside her slipping an arm around her. "Regina I know it's not your doing... my blood or not I will protect this child and you. We.. can run away. Once we are somewhere the King cannot follow I will claim it as my own."
She knew his words were meant to comfort her. But running away? It never worked! The King always found her. Something he had once told her in anger. She could still hear his words. "No matter what you do I will always find you!"
Shaking her head Regina just clung to Graham and cried. He kept one arm around her, gently soothing her, while he moved the other to her stomach where he could feel the slightest bump beginning to grow."We can run away. Once we are somewhere the King cannot follow I will claim it as my own." Those were nice words and a lovely sentiment however, that is not what would happen. Within weeks of revealing to Graham she was pregnant he had left! The King had told Regina he had abandoned her, not wanting her or her child. This of course was not the case though Regina would believe it. The lost of Graham, the pregnancy would send the young QUeen into a depression. One that would only worsen after the sickly child, a son was born. The King would take this child from her, and tell her it died. Again, Regina would believe this lie resulting in only more anger, hatred, and loathing toward the King and his perfect daughter Snow White.

ʀᴜɴᴀᴡᴀʏ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇꜱꜱ
r u n a w a y P r i n c e s s Princess Snow White, daughter of King Leopold and beloved by all who knew her or rather who thought they knew her. While it was true, that Snow White was a beautiful young girl, wealthy beyond belief, sweet, and mostly well-mannered she could also be an impossible brat sometimes! Spoiled and entitled and often quite oppositional, the only person who saw this side of Snow White was her stepmother, Queen Regina.
King Leopold was often away leaving Snow White in Regina's care. After all, part of the reason he had married Regina was so that she could be a mother to his daughter. A task begrudgingly taken on by Regina.
Regina had many reasons for disliking Snow White, reasons she truly tried to overcome. She tried to not blame her for the death of her fiance, she tried to rationalize that Snow was only a child. A stupid child but a child nonetheless. But being forced to mother this petulant child, look after her daily, and put up with her constantly was beginning to run Regina's patients very thin.
That had been what led to the angry argument between the two. Regina honestly couldn't remember what they had been bickering about. But she remembered snapping at Snow White, shouting at her, telling her she hated her and that she wished she'd run away. Words she mostly hadn't meant but in her fit of anger Snow White took her words seriously and did just that! She ran away.
The King would be home within a few days and if he had found that his daughter had run away, and after an argument with Regina well.. it wouldn't end well for Regina. So instead of telling the guards or anyone who might eventually relay what had happened back to the King, Regina took it upon herself to find Snow White. After all, how far could she have gotten? Regina thought to herself.

ᴛʜɪꜱ ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀɴ ᴡʜᴏ ꜱᴀᴠᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜ
this is t he man who saved You By now it had been more than a week since Regina's encounter with the wolf in the forest. She had tried to tell the King that she had not run away but was simply going after Snow White. Her claims had fallen on deaf ears, the King believed his precious daughter over his wife and after that, the matter had finally been dropped. Regina had been tended to, reprimanded for running away and now it was the past.
At least that's what Regina had thought. One quiet evening Regina was alone in her gardens where she preferred to spend most of her time. She stood under her apple tree just admiring it before turning her head as she heard someone call out to her. It was the King. However, he was speaking much more kindly to her now.
"And this is my wife, the Queen." He said in a content tone. Beside him stood a young man looking not much older than Regina. She stared at this man for a moment before giving a small smile. "Hello. My name is Regina." She said before glancing to the King. "Who is he?" She asked. The King only gave a forced smile. "This is the man who saved you. He will now be your.. bodyguard."
The King moved closer to Regina and looked down at her for a few moments before sighing and kissing her head. "I do love you Eva.." he muttered before excusing himself and leaving Regina and her new bodyguard alone.
Looking confused the man spoke, his voice was light but his accent thick. "I thought your name was Regina?" He asked. Heaving her own sigh now she nodded looking to him. "It is. Eva was his first wife. The one he truly loved. The King is old. Sometimes he calls me by her name."
She gave a shrug and glanced back to her tree. "You're meant to keep me in my place." She said now turning her head to look back at the man. He seemed uncertain of that but gave a slight nod. "The King has instructed me to keep you safe. That is my only intention my Queen." Rolling her eyes Regina just turned to look back to her tree.
At least he didn't hire some older knight to look after me. At least he chose someone... handsome. She thought to herself before she was snapped from her thoughts. "You didn't kill the wolf." Said the man. "In the forest. The one who attacked the Princess and you. You.. didn't kill her. But you could have."
Regina now looked back at the man for a moment. "You saw that?" She asked. He nodded "I did. It was why I decided not to let you bleed to death. I.. think you have a good heart. Most humans are not like that."
Staring at him Regina tilted her head before speaking. "You are a tortured one.. aren't you..." she said before smiling somewhat. "Something we have in common." She said before turning to face him more fully. "Do you have a name?" She asked.
Both stared at each other before the man finally answered. "Graham." Nodding Regina held out her hand, her arm was still bandaged where the wolf had bitten her. "It's nice to meet you, Graham." Hesitantly the man extended his hand and shook Regina's. Both of them quickly pulled their hands back, having felt a spark between them.

ᴘᴜɴɪꜱʜᴍᴇɴᴛ
p u n i s h m e n t It had been only a few days since Regina's injury. The bite, however, was healing nicely and despite the pleading of her servants not to get out of bed, Regina felt better. While she knew the King would certainly not allow her to go riding anywhere she wanted to go down to the stables and see her beloved horse Rocinante.
After dressing she made her way through the castle, down and out to the stables. She had only just stepped inside when she heard the horrible cry of pain coming from Rocinante. Rocinante was Regina's horse she had brought from her father's home when she had married the King. He was a beloved gift Regina had received from her father many years ago.
"Rocinante?" Regina called out as she hurried to his stall. Pushing open the door she stared in horror. Her poor sweet horse lay on his side, two of his legs had been broken. "Rocinante.." without hesitation Regina dropped to the ground and moved closer to her beloved horse, cradling his head in her lap.
"What happened?" She asked softly gently petting his head in an attempt to soothe him. She then looked up hearing footsteps. Her fear quickly turned to anger as she saw the King standing there. "What did you do?!" She snapped angrily up at her husband,
"You continue to try and run away. This is what you use to try and run away." He said motioning to Rocinante. "You now can't run away if your horse cannot run. He will.. most likely survive. But you won't ever be able to ride him again." The King said in a smug and proud tone.
"And if you dare try to use any sort of.. magic to heal him. I will kill him." The King said firmly before leaving. Sitting there in total despair Regina shouted after Leopold, calling him a bastard before she then turned her attention back to her horse. It was true, poor Rocinante would recover from his injuries but he'd never be the same again. And Regina surely could never ride him again.
For now, it seemed the King had won. And again, because of Snow White Regina had lost, lost something dear to her heart. She had been punished for Snow White's deeds, she had lost the joy of riding her beloved horse. It seemed Snow White and the King would not stop taking everything from Regina. There in that stall, holding her horse Regina began to truly consider revenge against the King and his daughter.

ɪ'ᴅ ʀᴀᴛʜᴇʀ ʙᴇ ᴇᴀᴛᴇɴ ʙʏ ᴡᴏʟᴠᴇꜱ
I ' d r a t h e r b e e a t e n By W o l v e s The last clear memories Regina had were of laying on the forest floor, the pain in her arm, the warm feel of her blood flowing against her hand as she tried to stop it. She remembered looking up at the trees around her, hearing footsteps approaching her, and then.. nothing. It all went black and she couldn't remember how or who had saved her.
She had woken up in her own bed, cleaned, and dressed in one of her nightgowns. Her arm had been bandaged and the servants around her bed had clearly been the ones attending to her however, who had saved her? She had asked this question many times though none of the servants answered her. They only suggested that she rest. That she needed to do as they told her so that the bite on her arm did not get worse or infected.
Once all the servants had gone Regina sat up in her bed, her knees to her chest as she tried to think who could have rescued her? Surely if it had been Snow White the kingdom and all the servants would be a buzz with her latest heroic deed!
Regina didn't have much time to continue wondering. She looked up as she heard footsteps approaching her room. Seeing the King she was hesitant. Why was he here? He had returned home clearly though it wasn't in his nature to visit Regina first or at all for that matter after a return.
"Your Majesty." Regina said. The King simply stared at her. His mood wasn't clear at first though after Regina spoke a frown spread across his face. "You ran away again." He said in a firm and angry tone. Looking confused for a moment Regina shook her head. "No. I didn't. Snow White had.. wandered off. And I had gone to get her."
The King scoffed at Regina's words. "My daughter would never wander into the forest alone! She'd never go so far from home! You ran away again! You rather be eaten by the wolves than be my wife!" He shouted angrily.
Regina flinched at his loud tone of voice though glared in his direction. "I'd rather be eaten by wolves than be your wife." She said defiantly. With this Leopold walked over and shoved her off of the bed. Not expecting what happened Regina fell to the floor, crying out as her injured arm hit the floor.
"One day your defiance against me will be your undoing. Maybe one day I'll feed you to the wolves. BUT! Until that time you are MY wife. And now.. since you can't seem to stay where you belong I've decided to hire someone. Someone who will keep you in your place."
With those words, the King left. Regina remained sitting on the floor, crying silently. Within the next few moments, a few servants rushed in. They knew what had happened but said nothing. If at all they just quietly shushed Regina in an attempt to comfort her and gently helped her back up into her bed.
