Enchanted Forest : Before The Curse
Fifteen year old Regina stood staring into the mirror, she did not recognize the girl that was staring back at her because this girl only had sadness in her eyes where they once shown happiness. Daniel was gone, killed by her mother and now standing here in a wedding dress she couldn't help but wish that she too was dead because she definitely knew that she didn't want to be king Leopold's wife. Silent tears started to make their way down her face as the maid put the final touches to dress, Regina felt her mother's presence before she saw her and quickly wiped the tears in hope that Cora didn't see them. You look beautiful... Thank You mother... In a few short weeks you shall be queen and all of our dreams will have come true... Our dreams, don't you mean yours... You will thank me for this, once you are queen... I don't want to be queen... Regina head snapped to the side by the force of her mother's slap against her face. You will hold your tongue before I cut it out because I have given you a chance to be great and I swear if you ruin this I will do to you what I did to that lowlife stable boy... He wasn't a lowlife and his name was Daniel... He was scum, who though he could get with you to higher his status... He was not scum and I loved him mother... Love is weakness Regina, hasn't his death already showed you that or shall I show you again how weak is love for you was... and with a wave of her hand, Daniel's heart being ripped from his chest was playing on the mirror repeatedly. Sobbing uncontrollably, Regina begged her mother to stop but Cora just laughed and added See how much that the love you talk about helped him, he's now rotting in the ground... Crumbling to ground shaking with sobs, Mother please, make it stop... You foolish girl, get up before you ruin your dress... Please, I can't watch his death again... I'll make it stop but you got to promise me that you will be good... Mother... Promise me... I will be good... Waving her hand towards the mirror the images disappeared, stepping over to Regina she took her face between her hands and used her fingers to wipe her daughter's tears away saying You will thank me one day... then placing a gentle kiss upon her forehead. With her mother exiting the room, Regina looked to her father hoping that he would put a stop to this marriage but she sadly learned that was not going to happen as her mother's voice rang out calling her husband to her side. Bowing his head unable to look his little girl in the eyes, knowing what he would see there and it killed him that he could not stand up to Cora so without looking once at Regina he too left.
Regina's Bedroom
Regina was asleep in her new bedroom at palace as she would soon be marrying the king, it was a large room with a balcony that looked over the kingdom and it was a grand room definitely fit for a queen but too Regina it was nothing more than a glorified prison. Shooting up abruptly Regina scanned the room briefly trying to figure out what had woke her, unable to see anything she lay back down but her head had barely touched the pillow when a maniacal laughter filled room. Fear overwhelming her, Regina jumped up and rushed towards the door but a unseen force pulled her back and slammed her upon the bed. Shaking completely she watched as a figure emerged from the shadows and approached her slowly, opening her mouth to scream but unfortunately too late as a hand closed over her mouth and the person spoke No, I don't think so we can't have you letting everyone know I'm here... Looking down at her he could see the fear so addressing her once again he said, I'm going to remove my hand but you must promise not to scream, nod your head if you understand... Nodding her head vigorously to convey that she understood and also that she would not scream, he finally removed his hand from her mouth and Regina frighteningly said Please, don't hurt me... I'm not here to hurt you dearie, I'm here to help you... Help me... Yes with this awful predicament you find yourself in... Who are you and why would you help me... I'm just a friend and I don't agree with what your mother is doing... You know my mother... Of course I do, everyone knows the power hungry Cora... My mother just wants me to have the best in life... So you want to marry a man old enough to be your grandfather, she was right to have killed your true love since he was just a stable boy... No I didn't mean that... You don't need my help... and getting up pretending he was going to leave knowing that Regina would cave into him. She did just that when she spoke, No, don't go please I want help... I knew you would come round... Can you stop my marriage to the king... First thing first dearie, we have to deal with your mother... My mother... With Cora in your life, you will never be free and that's what you want... I want to be free but I don't want to hurt my mother... You won't be hurting her just sending her somewhere that she can never interfere with your life again... Sending her, I don't understand she has magic I could never get her to go... That's why you need to access your own magic... I don't have magic... Oh dearie, you definitely do... and invading her space with a creepy smile added, So powerful and I'd even say that your are more powerful than your mother... Really... Yes... People say I look like my mother... Mmm I don't see it... Bowing her head down she whispered, Will I become like her with my magic... No, you will be so much more... I don't want to be dark like her... That will be up to you dearie and I will happily offer my help in training you... Debating whether it not it would be a good idea to agree, Regina thinking of her upcoming marriage decided Ok, I accept your offer to train me... Clapping his hands together, happy that everything was falling into place he added Good, now we just deal with your mother and training shall begin... How... Tomorrow you will receive a mirror but this is a special one and all you have to do is push your mother through it... Where will it take my mother... A little place called wonderland but that's not what matters... It isn't... No, the thing that matters most is that your dear mother will not be able to get back and you will be free to live your life... Ok but... No more buts, you need to sleep because you need to be at your best tomorrow if it's to work... Embarrassed as if on cue, Regina let out a big yawn and sleepy layed her head upon the pillow but just before he made his exit she asked Wait, you never told me your name... My name is Rumplestiltskin...
As promised the next day a full length mirror was delivered to the palace for Regina and right now she was currently examining it, trying to figure out how this would help get her mother out of her life. Too engrossed she didn't hear Snow enter till she spoke, Hello mother... letting out a sigh before facing Snow, she answered back with Please don't call me that... Why not, you are my mother... It makes me uncomfortable and I'm not your mother... You will be my mother, are you not happy about that... Of course she is, isn't that right Regina... Yes mother... and looking at Snow she bitterly added, It's a honour to be your mother and one that I'm grateful for... Appeased by Regina's answer Snow said, Yes it is a honour and I will be a amazing daughter... I'm sure you will be... Come play with me... Aww little Snow if you don't mind I need to have a word with your mother but if you hurry I believe more gifts have been delivered and I'm sure your parents won't mind if you open them... Aww presents, I love presents... and with that Snow ran out the door calling over her shoulder, Goodbye mother... Goodbye Grandmother... Cora physically recoiled at being called Grandmother and spat out, I'm no grandmother, spoiled little brat... before looking at her daughter who was secretly trying to hide her smile. Taking notice of the mirror Cora added, What is this hideous thing... It was a gift... Staring at the mirror as her mother spewed on about how she must to better and gain the support of the people, Regina saw the mirror beginning to ripple like a wave and Rumplestiltskin appeared also encouraging her to push. Turn her back to her mother she turned quickly and flung her arms towards her but Cora quickly reflected the spell back at her. Hands tightly stuck together because of the spell she watched as her mother went into a rage but even more surprisingly Regina could suddenly feel her magic within her building and with that she flung her arms once again at her mother and watched as she was pulled into the mirror. Glass flew out towards her and quickly covering her face with her hands she turned away from the flying shards but suddenly the guilt hit her as she stared frighteningly at both her hands. The following day upon her horse Regina tried to escape but was stopped by Rumplestiltskin and he convinced her to go back by telling her if she left now it would only end in her death.
On the day of her sixteenth birthday Regina stood upon the altar, becoming a mother and wife when she was still a child herself. The people of the kingdom where disgusted as they watch their king take the hand of his child bride smiling, almost all of them wanted to protest against this marriage but fear of what the king would do made them stay silent. Her wedding night was brutal and Regina could barely walk the next morning but she held hope that Rumplestiltskin would help her to get out soon. Unfortunately Regina would be within the palace for years before she finally is able to escape and during that time she will suffer greatly.
