Chapter 1
A/N: Hello! So, this is my first fanfic so please bear with me. However, I am a beginner writer and have started writing a book. So, with that being said I hope there isn't to many grammar or spelling mistakes. I wrote this story based on a fan edit, and people wanted it turned into a fic. So, I liked the idea of the story and decided to take it into my own hands. I am a college drama student, I am busy. I will try and update as much as I can. Please be patient with me and review, comment, and all that fun stuff! I own nothing except the mistakes. The characters are all owned by the Once Upon a Time creators, producers, writers. I hope you ENJOY!
Regina glared into the eyes of the Queen, who was lounging in her mayoral chair. "I may not be able to get a hold of that genie lamp, but you're right we are the same person. Which means you're not the only master of the lamp."
Aladdin smiled knowing exactly what this meant.
The queen also quickly realized what this meant. She looked down at the lamp then looked up at Regina. "No."
Aladdin looked towards Regina and smiled a satisfied smile. "Yes."
Regina looked at Aladdin, with dedication on her face began making her wish. "Genie of the lamp, I wish to be sent to the same place as Emma Swan."
The queen quickly started getting up from the desk. "No." She said in anger, hating being defeated by her own game.
Before the queen knew it, the genie put his hand up towards Regina. "Your wish is my command master." Within a second Regina was gone.
Regina appeared in what looked like the Enchanted Forest and was quick to begin her quest: find Emma and bring her home. "Emma." She began moving forward looking for the blonde. "Emma." There was whistling in the distance. She looked toward the sound and saw the dwarves. "Hay!" She ran towards them, meeting them on the road. "Dwarves! I'm looking for Emma. Have you seen her?" She looked relieved to find people she knew. When they turned around but did not respond, she repeated her question. "Have you seen her?"
Grumpy looked at her with hate in his eyes. "The Evil Queen is back."
Regina with concern and worry on her face began to explain. "No, no you don't understand. I'm, I'm not the Evil Queen anymore."
The dwarves quickly began backing up as grumpy yelled. "Move, move! We must warn them! The war is not over! Run!"
Regina watched them leave. She was shocked. She tried to yell after them but it was no use. She was in a land where everyone still believed she was the Evil Queen. She began to think to herself that this task of getting Emma home, just might be harder than she thought.
She began her trek through the forest, she was still determined she would complete her task and everything would go back to normal. She no longer hated the sheriff, and hell she even almost classified them as friends. She knew she would do what it took to bring Emma home to their son.
As she moved through the forest she stopped when she came upon a statue of David and Snow. She looked at it and laughed. "Seriously?" She said with sass in her tone. A humming knocked her out of her mocking. She followed the sound deeper into the forest. Her face brightened when she realized the humming was coming from Emma. But, wow, she looked different. Not her usual tight pants, white tank, and her famous red leather jacket. When she saw the women dressed in a long white dress with a long, white, hooded cape, she became shocked. Her face instantly became slightly judgmental. She couldn't help herself, she looked at Emma with sass. "Emma, what the hell happened to you?"
Regina looked into Emma eyes seeing fear. Her face dropped when Emma said. "You're the Evil Queen."
Regina looked at her slightly hurt, but calm. "You don't remember me?"
Emma began to back away, beginning to hide behind a tree. "I know exactly who you are. My parents banished you."
Regina looked at her. Her voice was calm as she tried to explain. "No, they didn't. None, of this is real. I'm your friend."
Hiding behind a tree, treading with caution Emma fought back. "You're no ones friend. My father says you're a liar."
Still calm Regina answers. "No, it's not a lie. Where we are from, we actually share custody of a son." Her faces moves with the awkwardness of the statement.
Emma's face suddenly calms and she feels emotions she doesn't know how to explain. She looks into Regina's eyes, and not knowing why but she suddenly trusts the brunette. "Are we married?" She asks.
Regina can't help but smile slightly at the question. Intrigued by the blondes new innocence. "Okay so it's complicated, but no Emma we are not married. But, the point is I risked my life to come her to save you because you're the savior. And your family needs you." She had hope on her face, hoping she talked the scared blonde down a little.
Emma's face calmed drastically at the words family. She felt a connection to the brunette. She didn't understand why. Her whole life she grew up hearing and knowing about the Evil Queen. But here, this woman was standing here saying they were friends, they had a son, that they were family. Maybe, just maybe the women had changed? But this life they come from? What was this other life? Emma had so many questions.
The two were thrown from their thoughts as an arrow flew through the air hitting a tree near Regina's head. Thankfully the brunette ducked in time. Regina turned to see Snow and David, her face had many emotions on it. She couldn't help but laugh a little at the aged couple. The two looked like how they would look if the curse never happened and they had all aged as time meant them to.
"You're so old." Regina said with a small smirk.
Snow glared at Regina with nothing but hate in her eyes. "Mock us all you want but you will stay away from our daughter."
The smirk was wiped off Regina's face when snow pulled back an arrow in her bow. Regina turned to look at Emma, concern on her face.
Emma approached Regina and looked in her eyes. She could see the fear, the worry. This woman clearly didn't want to harm anyone. And she really wanted to know about this other land. She stepped in front of Regina and looked at her parents. "Don't shoot, please. Let's just go home."
Snow and David looked at their daughter with shock. "Emma, don't you realize what she has done? We can't trust her Emma."
Emma turned to Regina and then back at her parents. "Enough blood has been shed. Let's just put her in the tower or something. Then we can keep a close eye on her." Emma didn't want to lose Regina she wanted to keep her close. She had many questions, and she wanted answers. She grabbed a rope from snow and began to tie Regina's hands behind her back.
Regina let Emma, seeing Emma had a goal. She hopped that if she got time alone with the blonde she might be able to get through to her.
Emma watched her parents walk away frustrated and angered. When they were out of sight she leaned in and whispered in Regina's hear. "I have a lot of questions."
Regina raised an eyebrow. "As you wish princess." She enjoyed mocking the blonde. And the state the sheriff was in, definitely gave her plenty of opportunity to mock.
With Regina secured and Emma in control, the two headed back to the castle. One Regina missed dearly and was both sad and happy to see it again.
So, I know it's short but I thought this was a good place to stop. It's kinda like the end of a scene, and then fades to commercial. Well, anyways, I hope you enjoyed! I am already getting ideas for this story. I hope you will stick with it as much as I want to continue writing it. Till next time!
