Emma had just made her way down the beanstalk to find Snow and Mulan fighting "what's going on" she interrupted

"Mulan was going to cut down the beanstalk" snow said with fury in her voice

Emma replied "only because I asked her to"

" no, no you do not get to make that decision we are a family and I will not loose you... not again"

"your right I was just so worried about Henry he's there all alone with Regina"

"no no he's not he has charming"

" your right" Emma said as she smiled at snow

"what about Regina" a man said with curiosity as he walked from out of the shadows. Snow, Emma, Mulan and Aurora swung there heads around when they saw a man. He was dressed in one of Regina's black knights uniforms and his face covered by a helmet. He wore a sword around his belt but not any sword it was a sword given to only the most loyal of Regina's knights. In the middle of the swords handle was a crown that had vines curling to the top of the handle that had Regina's signature honey crisp apple. The same design was was imprinted on the swords blade.

"that's some sword" Emma said she was curious about this man.

"Thank you... I hold it, close to my heart" he replied

"Emma step back that is one of Regina's most loyal guards" Snow said

" how do you know that"

" his sword" Snow replied

Snow raised a sword at the stranger only to lower it when he said " please Snow we both know you don't know how to use that weapon so please put it down, wouldn't want to embarrass you like I did your husband"

"Adolfo is that you" Snow said with excitement

" looks like you caught me out" he said as he removed his helmet which revealed his face. He had nice olive skin with short brown chocolate hair. His eyes were a light blue, he had light stubble around his jaw. He was obviously still in shape. He was just a Snow had remembered him.

" wait use to knew each other" Emma said

" yes Adolfo is a ware wolf like Red he was once considered an out cast until he and I met" Snow responded

" don't need to worry Emma but I am a noble wolf I bring no harm" he said

"your a wolf you are made for killing" aurora interrupted

" no I will only harm one if they attack me, I would never kill an unarmed person"

" that does sound very noble adol... Sorry wats your name again" Emma said

" it's Adolfo but you can call me Andy every one does easier I guess"

" but if you were so noble how did you end up working with the evil queen" Mulan said she was confused.

The words stung at his heart " evil is such a harsh word, her name is Regina and no I didn't work for her I I " " you loved her" snow interrupted

" yes" he replied as he lowered his head

" wow she really did mean a lot to you, what exactly did you talk to her about when you were down in her cell " Snow said

"I think you no who"

"Daniel" Snow said in a whisper andy just nodded at her before telling them the story of how him and snow knew each other. "well you see"

In the past fairy tale land

"Snow, Charming" Andy yelled out

" What wrong" they replied

" we've caught her... We've caught the evil queen" he responded

"are we going to lock her up" snow said her voice so innocent

" no we must do something else she must pay for her crimes" charming spat

" how do you plan on that"

" by a public execution by burning arrows... That will be shot at her while she's blind folded"

" but your majesty thats would not be right she has showed no sign of aggression prior to her arrest" Andy interrupted

" are you on her side" James spat

" no of course not I just don't think its right"

" do you no whats not right...all the suffering she has caused over the years to every one thats not right" James spat

" yes your right your majesty I'm sorry... I will take her down to the cell and give her last meal then prepare for tomorrow" Andy said as he grabbed Regina by the arm gently pushing her to the door way. She just rolled her eyes at him.

He placed her meal of bread and water into her cell. Regina was resting in the upright position on the floor with her body weight leaning against the wall. She didn't even move she just pushed her meal aside then rested her head against the jail cell bars. " you should eat" he said

" why I'm going to die any way"

Andy just looked at her, she wasn't her usual self and he wasn't sure why but he knew he was going to find out so he asked her "why"

"why what" she replied

" why do you hate snow"

" can't and evil queen just hate some one because they hate some one with no reason because that's what every one seems to believe "she said sarcastically.

" no"

" whys that"

" because in my years experience I've learnt there is always more then one side to a story, to many see the world in black and white without seeing the grey, so what's your side to the story"

" you want a story huh'

" yep"

" okay it's simple Snow was prettier than I so I wanted to kill her simple enough"

Andy just looked at her than laughed.

" what she replied you don't believe"

" I find it really hard to believe"

" and whys that"

" because you are very beautiful"

" am I now"

" yes you are so tell me the truth"

Regina looked at him then looked down at her hands"

" what do you have to loose" he said. Regina told him about her mother, snow and Daniel and how his heart was ripped out in front of her

" but she was only a young girl" he said

" I know I didn't hate her at first, i tried to get over it but my mother she was powerful she put thoughts in my head, she made me angry, You don't know what it's like to be forced into a loveless marriage I was just a babysitter to his daughter" her voice started to get angrier as she continued " I had to wake up next to a man who did not love me and I did not love him instead of the man I loved because she told that secret hate it grows on you" she said as she looked down at her hands. Andy moved his hand and placed it on top of hers she flinched and her posture stiffened but soon relaxed as he told her " I promise you I will not let you die" he said then smiled at her. She searched his face for some clues on trying to find out what his true intentions were but she found nothing he seemed genially honest.

The next day Snow, charming and the people of the kingdom gathered around the town square to watch the evil queens execution. She was tied against a pole. She could see the entire towns people but she could only focus on one man, Andy until she lost sight a she was blind folded with a piece of cloth. " on my count" James said " the men raised there arrows as they were set on fire "1,2,3" James yelled the men pulled back the string only for the string to break dropping the arrows to the ground setting the place on fire. Andy ran to Regina untying her setting her free " I told you I wouldn't let them kill you" he said before stealing a kiss, Regina just looked at him confused before he said "go get out of here"

"what about you"

"don't argue I can handle them so run" Regina nodded at him before making her escape. " you you did this " James yelled out

"yes"

" why"

" I told you it was wrong" Andy said in a strong compelling voice. Charming pulled his sword from his waist and started to charge at Andy just when James thought he had Andy pinned down he had underestimated Andy's sharp and fast reflexes. He managed to knock the sword out of James hand pinning him on the ground, his sword at his neck with James at his mercy. " are you going to kill me" James spat

" no I do not kill people who are unarmed instead I'm going to let you live for Snows sake" he said his voice deep with mixes emotions. He moved his sword away from James neck before stepping back. The prince stood up before ordering the guards to arrest him before saying " maybe you should of because you are under arrest for treason of letting a villainous criminal go, you are now considered a public enemy and because the people didn't get what they wanted they'll get second best by executing the person who let her go"

"no you can't do that he is our friend" Snow said

" he chose his side Snow what's done is done we can't change that"

" don't worry Snow I can except this punishment as long as you promise me that I will not be blind folded' because if I'm going to die I want to see the one the one person who's alway stuck up for me" Andy said before he was taken to his cell while they prepared to execute him.

The next day the yanked him against the same pole that Regina was tied to, tying him up in chains so he couldn't break free Snow and James stood beside the men that raised there arrows ready to release the string. " I can't watch" Snow said as she turned her head to face the other way. Andy could feel the chain being tightened around him holding him into place. A million thoughts running through his mind is charming really going to kill me? 3 the arrows fired at him he could feel the heat of the fire that burned on the arrows but suddenly when the arrows were just inches apart he could see world in a slow motion before the arrows just stopped moving then dropped to the ground. A purple puff of smoke appeared that showed Regina standing there laughing. " what are you laughing at" James yelled

I thought that I was meant to be the bad guy but in reality you are just as bad, sentencing an innocent man to death because he was standing up for what he believed, I think you have shown today who you truly are Charming and my dear Snow you didn't even try to save this man huh" she said her voice repeating in James ears "get her" he said his men charged at her with weapons in the hands only to be flung back when she waved her hand placing up a magical barrier from preventing them from passing " you really think you can get to me, I am the evil queen after all" she said then grabbed the hand of the man that saved her before disappearing in a cloud of purple smoke.

Present fairy tale land

" so that was the las time you saw any" Emma said

"yes" Snow replied

"yes maybe but it wasn't the last time I saw you Snow, after all I was at your wedding"

" you were" Snow replied

" yes I wouldn't of missed it for the world" he said before smiling

" so what do you want" Emma said

" I want to go back to your world I can help you, I... I need to see Regina again"

" that's all you want" Emma said as she raised an eyebrow

" I want what best for Regina and that's me she changed while I was around"

" is that so"

" yes she hopped out of her old ways her people weren't afraid to ask her for stuff"

" how did you change her"

" that's a good question but we need to get out of here I tell you story another time so can I come with you"

" yes the extra help will be good" Emma said.
