Chapter 1 Runaway Bride.

Set in a alternative universe were Cora never killed Daniel.

Young Snow kept her promise to Regina and told Cora nothing about Regina's plans to marry Daniel and run away.

Today is the day before Regina and her family are meant to set off to Leopold's castle.

Then it would be three weeks before Regina and Leopold are to be married.

Regina is more desperate than ever to run away.

Regina already hates her mother Cora having control over her and being queen would only give Cora more power!

Regina, knowing this is her last shot at freedom she talked with the servants of her estate the night previous.

Regina begged her servants to help by stealing some of her family possessions and coins and to give what they stole to Daniel who would hide it until today.

The servants who have seen and witnessed acts of Regina's kindness agree to help her as long as she promises to never look back.

But having the servants steal wasn't enough.

Oh, no Regina needed a way to keep Cora from finding her and dragging her back to marry Leopold.

Regina needs the Dark One the only one who could possibly prevent Cora from finding her!

Regina summoned the Dark One begging for his help and he agreed to help her.

However, he would only do so if in return she learns the basics of magic by him.

Regina agreed believing that after those lessons she would never practice magic again.


Now with her plan set in motion, Regina sneaks off to the stables where Daniel is waiting.

Daniel upon seeing Regina runs up to her and passionately kisses her.

"Regina, you came," Daniel said.

"Of course I came Daniel I love you I want to start a new life with you," Regina replies.

"Do your parents know about this,"? Daniel asks.

"No and we have to leave now before mother wakes up," Regina says.

"We shall but how do we stop Cora from finding us,"? Daniel asked.

"After we're off this estate I have a magic map that will lead us to a place where my mother has no power," Regina explained.

"Time to start our new life," Daniel spoke before he and Regina get on Regina's childhood steed and the two young lovers ride out the stables and ride off Regina's parents' estate!
