A/N I will do another chapter with Robin's POV.

Story

Regina

"The curse is working its way towards her heart. Once it touches... that's it" I said.

I might hate Marian, wished her dead but Robin would be devastated and I couldn't handle that.

"Is there nothing you can do?" Robin pleaded.

"There might be something. But only if you trust me completely" I told him.

The only thing I could do to break her curse was to curse myself. Transferring it to me would cure her and most likely kill me.

"I do" he answered.

I was the Evil Queen. I did not deserve a happy ending. I thought I had one with Robin but then Marian came back. She was his true love.

"Then I'll send Henry to my vault to get what I need" I lied.

I lied. I didn't need anything from my vault. I just needed time to decide whether I wanted to do this or not. Henry would be distraught but he had Miss Swan. He had Emma.

"Of course. What are you going to do?" Robin asked.

"Something drastic" I replied.

It might very well survive. I had magic. Magic that could very well beat whoever did this. Of course I knew it wasn't Elsa. I only said that to annoy Miss Swan. It wasn't her magic signature. Similar, but not the same.

"Even true love's kiss can't solve every problem. Despite what Snow and Charming say" I said.

True love's kiss wasn't the solution to all our problems. I got revenge and cast a curse without it. Though that did leave me with a hole in my heart.

"Well, there's a reason that kiss didn't work. And it's not what everyone thinks. I'm in love with someone else" confessed Robin.

I scoffed "You are?"

He had Marian. He had a woman who clearly loved him who had a pure heart. Why would he still love the Evil Queen?

"Yes. But..." Robin hesitated.

He did. He still loves me. Maybe I could have a happy ending after all?

"I know. I know you... have to go back to her. She's still your wife" I knowingly replied.

Crashing down, back to reality. He made a vow and was a man of his word. A true gentleman. And who said chivalry is dead?

"I'm sorry I dragged you into this" Robin

"You didn't" I replied.

Then Henry came back with a box I didn't need.

"You really need to clean that vault out. But I found it" said Henry.

In my vault the allure of dark magic was strong. I only went in there when I had to. I didn't trust myself to not use one of my mother's spellbooks.

"You're sure you still want me to do this?" I asked.

Who agreed for me to do something when they didn't even know what it was? Me of all people!

"Yes" agreed Robin.

His unwavering trust in me would get him killed someday.

I'd made up my mind. I would do it. There was no turning back once I cast it. If this wasn't the proof to the whole of Storybrooke that I had changed then nothing would.

"Henry, I love you" I said.

I cast the spell. I fell to the ground with the weight of ice pushing down on me.

"What, what happened?" Marian asked.

Thank god she woke up. I was not sacrificing myself for nothing.

"Regina" Robin cried.

I was cold. I was all so cold.

"You have your wife back" I said.

"She sacrificed herself for me?" Marian asked, bewildered.

"Get over yourself. It was what any of you posturing good guys would've done" I flippantly remarked.

I lied again. I did it for Robin. I did it for love. God, I was getting worse than Snow White!

"You shouldn't have" said Robin.

He read between the lines. He was extraordinarily adept at that.

"You don't get to tell me what I should or shouldn't do, Outlaw" I snarled.

"Mom. Wait, how are you talking? Marian fainted when the curse activated" Henry asked.

My perceptive little boy. He was worried about me.

"My magic is fighting it, Henry. But I fear it's not enough. I use fire magic but my fire has dimmed" I told him.

"I'll get a heater" he said.

I laughed. It was so long since I laughed.

"Not that, Henry. My fire inside. And look at me now, mooning over an outlaw like a lovesick teenager. What would Mother think of me, now?" I said, despaired.

"Regina, you have to fight it" shouted Robin.

"And what's the point? Yes, I have a son who loves me but I have a town who hates me and would rather see I'm dead. You might as well put me out my misery now" I said.

"You still have time. The curse has only just started. The Sheriff could find whoever did this" he said.

"Miss Swan? She couldn't find the culprit even if he was staring her right in the face" I said.

"There is only one way to break the curse and that is true love's kiss" said Marian.

"I have to try" Robin said.

He gave Marian an apologetic glance.

He reached over and kissed me. I felt warmth and fire and love. I felt like I was a giddy teenager again and was light and free.

A wave of power like the one that restored our memories washed over me.

"The ice wall, it's gone" I said, confused.

I could feel it with my magic. The icy power that enveloped the town was gone.

"True love's kiss" said Henry.

"Marian, I'm sorry" Robin apologised.

"Don't be. You're not the same man I married. You've moved on and I accept that" said Marian

I felt hope for the first time since Emma brought back Marian. Could I be with Robin?

"You do?" he asked.

"I love Roland but he views Regina as his mother" she said.

"He does? He does" I said with conviction.

"You're each other's true love's. If you can have a second so can. I should go now. Thank you, Regina" Marian said.

Then she left. I could be with Robin, all because of a curse.
