It was official, another day had passed, and the nightmare did not end. I do not know how much longer I can stand it. I walk over to the railing, and contemplate the possibility, I look down on second, nobody would miss me, nobody loves me, even my mother. She less than anyone!Because of her I'm here! Alone, without my love, without my Daniel. It would be the perfect ending. It would end my pain, my suffering and could be with him, far from everything, away from life. I am determined, I push furiously trying to tear it down, I keep trying with his eyes closed until I succeed, and I'm falling, thousands of thoughts colliding in my mind: "It's better like that Regina, nobody will miss Regina, you do not love nobody, nobody loves you, Regina. " Until somthing stops my fall and I am driven by a familiar strength, yet different. Magic! But not the dark magic that I'm used to, not that magic driven by pain, anger, this was something else, purer, more consistent. Pixie Dust! And just at the moment I realized what it was, the tips of my feet return to the ground, and she appears in front of me, a figure surrounded by a powerful green glow.
"Hello!" I she said smiling at me with her big green eyes and extending her hand.
I do not know what to do, I stop to look at her just a few seconds, until it comes out of my mouth, "Who are you?"
"I'm Tinkerbell, a fairy" is her answer.
"What are you doing here? I do not remember asking for your help"
"Perhaps not with your mouth, but with your heart, Regina"
I remain surprised wondering what could she know about what was in my heart or not ...
"I think you're wrong, I'm perfectly fine. I Don't need it" I say trying to look strong.
"Oh no, then why were you about to jump off the balcony? She replied incredulously.
"I didn't, I fell, that's different! I almost shout feeling threatened.
"Of course, as you say! I replied, obviously not believing a word of what I said.
"I do not care if you believe me or not! Thanks for saving my life, now get out of here, I'm tired and want to sleep!" I said in my queen persona, trying to make her go away.
"I thought you wanted to get out of here, and I came to help," she said, studying me with her eyes.
I watch a few seconds, doubt it, but then I remember that at the end is really what I want, if only for a few hours, be away from this prison, this golden cage.
"Where are we going?" I asked genuinely interested.
"In search of your soul mate," she said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
She walks to the balcony, getting ready to fly at the expense of fairy dust ...
When she realizes that it's been a few seconds and I'm standing right where I was, she asks:
"What, are you not going to come?"
I doubt for one second, but in the end I give my hand to her, and the next thing I know is I'm flying next to her.
Moments later descend gently outside a tavern. She walked a bit forward to the door, and made me a sign with her hands for me to come. When I do, she tells me to look through the door glass.
"That's him, he is your true love," he says pointing to one of the men sitting back to us in the center of the table inside.
"Is he?" I say with my voice filled with emotion.
"Yes Regina. The man with the lion tattoo, go. Be happy"
I'm about to open the door and come in, "I can do it, I can be happy," I think to myself.
"I must go," said Tinkerbell and walked away, leaving me there.
Suddenly I'm afraid to open the door, and I run away from the place, I run very fast without looking back. It starts to rain heavily, then I slip and fall. My head lands on a stone, all of a sudden, everything is black, and lose myself in the darkness.
I don't know how much time has passed, I hear voices from a distance, voices of men. I try to open my eyes, but I can not until someone talking into my ear.
"Milady It's ok, it's ok, everything is fine "
And like a miracle, hearing that voice makes me come back and when I do, I find the sweetest eyes I've ever seen, blue as the sky on a summer day looking at me, and I smile.
