Chapter 1

Regina had a terrible time sleeping. All she could think about was that Robin of hers that she had worked so hard to get to it being a whole new thing once his supposedly dead wife appeared. Okay, yes she was full of revenge and hatred along with some anger. She wanted Marian gone. But she also wantde Robin back. She had to think of someway where she can get rid of Marian but keep Robin for herself. A forgetting potion? No, People would find out. A mysterious curse? No, people would automatically think it was her the way she stormed out of Granny's the other night when Roland saw his undead mom.

"God!" she screamed and hit her fists against the bed. "How could she be so stupid? What someone changes in the past will change the future. If you bring someone back that was supposed to be dead there will be consequences!"

Regina paced her room trying not to wake Henry. There were so many things she could do but none of them had good outcomes. What to do, what to do?

Robin was happy to see his wife back. Over-joyed to see that she was happy and not dead. But some part of him hurt. It felt like a piece was missing from his heart or soul. He couldn't quite place it. He still loved Marian even though he thought she was dead, he held onto hope that one day he would see her again. I guess it worked. He worried more about Regina. How she will/would be handling the situation not that they are not an item anymore.

"Robin?" asked his wife.

His face appeared to hers as he snapped up from his trance. "Yes my darling?"

"I've missed you so much. I cannot believe that person saved me. Without her I might've not even been here in the first place. Finally with you again."

She gave him a small peck on his nose. He felt nothing. It was like the fire had died between them and nothing but darkness sat. He tried kissing back with fire but it didn't work. He didn't know if Marian had felt the same. Why couldn't he feel the fire? He still loves Marian. Why didn't magic happen?

Next Day

Regina woke up with bitterness on her mind and a scornful face as she thought that she would no longer be waking up next to her beloved. No one quite understood the gravity of the situation. Emma had Hook, Henry was there but he has never felt heartbreak, she couldn't talk to the freakin' Charmings because it was love at true sight and all that crap about love at first sight.

"Mirror, Mirror," she commanded.

No response.

"Sidney!"

An exasperated sigh, "Yes, your majesty."

"I've got a plan but you need to keep an eye out."

"Is that all?" he huffed.

"For now. You can go now."

The mirror vanished and Regina was now left alone. She decided to get on with her day and change into something different. More, queeny looking. With the whip of her and she changed into a red and black dress with black heels and revenge in her eyes.

"Hey, kid, have you talked to your mom yet?" asked Emma.

"Sort of, she's been in those moods lately and I don't think she wants to talk to me really," her son Henry responded. "I miss her a lot."

"Yeah I think we all do," she agreed. "But don't worry. Why don't you go maybe to visit her later."

After that Emma caught up with her mother to give Henry his space.

"I really hope she doesn't give into what she has planned, you know?" she asked her daughter. "He seems to be handling it well."

Emma looked back at her son and nodded in agreement.

"I mean he's been through so much since he got here like getting his memories and both of his mom's with new people-"

"Whoa," Emma stopped her. "Hook and I are not a thing. And speaking of that-"

"He doesn't know about you and Hook does he?"

"Well there really isn't anything going on between me and Hook."

Her mother gave her a sarcastic sigh.

"Swan," as voice said.

"Speaking of…"

"I have checked all over for Regina she's not there."

"Thanks," she smiled and looked away quickly.

"Are you avoiding me?"

Her mother pulled back the stroller and fell behind.

The two turned the corner to talk.

"Look, Hook, I am not avoiding you, I'm just dealing with a lot right now between Henry and Regina. There's just a crisis."

"There's always a crisis here," he sighed. "Maybe you should just live your life while they happen or you'll miss it."

"We're under attack!" screamed Leroy and ran to Hook and Emma. They sighed.

"Okay okay what happened?"

He explained something about something blowing them with cold magic.

"Who has that kind of magic?"

Emma spotted a trail of ice. "Maybe the person who made that?"

Hook and Emma followed the trail leading them to an abandoned area that looked like a junkyard. Gun out and sword ready, they slowly crept in the area. They saw the ice patches of course but something stood in the way of them, and they saw it being created. A large ice/snow sort of giant creature stood in their path.

"Well," Hook said. "That's a new one."

Emma tries shooting at it but it wasn't working. It just got angrier and angrier. They ran out of the junkyard as the snow man followed them destroying everything in its path. Back in Regina's vault, she was coming up with another plan. Find the author of the book and make him/her change the story so she wouldn't be seen as a monster. She wanted Marian out of the picture and her in. She wanted her Robin back and she would do anything for him.
