The citizens of Storybrooke turned to face the dark green smoke that was about to return them to their old home, their real home, the Enchanted Forest. Regina couldn't make herself turn to face the smoke, all she could focus on was the small yellow beetle that was driving over the town line. Her son, her baby boy, her whole world, was leaving her. She could never see him again, if she did everyone would be put under Pans version of her curse, which would be irreversible. Tears fell down her cheeks as she watched the car go over the line, knowing that now he wouldn't even know who she was.

The green smoke reached her back and her whole mind seemed to go blank. It was as if she had no feeling in her mind. What was happening, she asked herself. Is this what was taking them back to their home? She had no idea, but when she finally felt her mind feel whole again she forced her eyes open. The bright light from the outdoors around her was blinding to her eyes, as she used her arms to prop herself up. Am I here? The Enchanted Forest?

As she sat up she could see she was in a large open field. The more she looked around she could see all the others from Storybrooke had landed in the same area. They were all waking, getting up after they had been put here. "We're here," she heard a voice say. It was a voice she knew all too well, that innocent sounding voice. Snow White.

"We're here!" Snow said again as she stood up.

"We all know that. You don't have to say it a thousand times," Regina snapped. Her mind still couldn't stop thinking of her son who could be anywhere at this point, that was all she cared about. All of these people she was with, she didn't care about them, she hated them. Turning around a young woman wearing a heavy coat was coming towards them, along with a group of people following her.

"Snow!" the girl yelled as she ran to Snow White. Regina couldn't make out who this girl was, she hadn't lived in Storybrooke, she would know her if she had. Behind her came a man, who had to be around the same age. He held onto her arms like he was trying to protect her. This was something Regina hated seeing, couples all over each other, she had never been able to stand looking at that.

"Aurora! You're here. We are all back, the curse, it was reversed," Snow started to explain as Regina stood up, stepping closer to the group of people.

"If you're all back…" Aurora paused looking back at the group behind her. "You will all have to get settled back in. Fix your castles back from the damage of the curse." Her castle. Regina hadn't even thought about it since she had opened her eyes to see her old home land. How nice it would be to get back to her castle, where she could be alone, so she could think about things. Maybe if she got some time alone she could get her thoughts together about Henry so she wouldn't start to cry every time she thought about him.

"Yes. I'm going back to my castle," as Regina started to get ready to head out for her castle she looked down to see herself in one of her Queen dresses.

"Wait, Regina, things aren't like they use to be here," Aurora interrupted her thoughts. "The ogres have taken over the land again. It's too dangerous to go out by yourself in these lands."

"I can protect myself!" Even Regina was shocked by how snappy her voice sounded. "I don't need any help I can show myself back to my own castle."

"Regina, please," Snow turned to Regina, her eyes soft, almost pleading. "It's dangerous, you can't go alone. Even with your magic you're not safe."

"I will be fine! It's not like you care anyways. I'm going. Where's a horse? Or must I walk?"

"No, Regina you're not going all by yourself."

Aurora interrupted this bickering, "Some of our group can assist you back to your castle, Regina."

"I don't want anyone with me. I want to be alone," Regina insisted, she wasn't going to deal with this. She wouldn't be told what was going to happen, she would say what happened. Snow started to say something against this, but Regina gave her a dangerous look.

Robin was watching these two ladies bickering, he hated the sound of it. One of them he knew, Snow White. An old friend that he had helped back in her bandit days. This other lady, this beautiful woman that he couldn't seem to take his eyes off of, he didn't really know. Regina was her name, he knew that from listening to the argument, but he couldn't remember what he knew about that name. After a few moments of thought it hit him… That was the name of The Evil Queen. This beautiful woman was what everyone called The Evil Queen.

Regina could see him as he stepped to the front of the group, short light brown hair, blue eyes, very well built, handsome. She felt herself freeze and go quite as he started to speak. "Ladies, we can all tell Regina doesn't want a bunch of people with her on her journey to her castle. We need to respect that. However she does need at least one person," he turned to look at Regina as he continued. "I will go with you, and as soon as we get you back to your castle I will come back here. Does that seem like a better plan to you?"

Regina could hardly speak, she didn't know what to say. This man knew she wanted to be alone, he knew she wanted to get away. She finally got herself together and nodded, "Yes that's fine."

"Good, you can come with me and we will get a few horses ready for our journey," Robin turned motioning for Regina to follow, which she did. She could see the look on Snow's face as she started to walk away, irritated that I'm getting to leave Regina thought to herself as she walked away.

Robin waited for Regina to get to his side before he continued walking, going toward Aurora and Phillips stables where he kept his horses. Seeing her beside him he remembered, "I haven't given you my name yet, Robin, Robin Hood."

She gave him a gentle smile at the name, "My name's Regina Mills. It's nice to meet you Robin, but you know I can protect myself. You don't need to travel with me, I'm sure you would much rather stay here."

He couldn't help starring at her smile, but he looked up to meet her eyes. "No, it's just fine. I don't mind traveling with you, and I wouldn't want you alone out in this forest."

Regina was about to interrupt his talking, but they both turned when they heard yelling that they could hardly make out. "Daddy!" Regina saw a little boy running after them and when Robin smiled she realized this must have been his son. The little boy ran up to Robin and jumped into his open arms. "Daddy, Ms. Aurora told me you was leaving. You no leave me, right daddy?"

Regina heart nearly melted with his words, she hadn't heard a little boy talk like that since Henry was that little. The little boy who looked very similar to Robin, and held onto him, begging him not to leave without him. "Roland, I have to go out for a little while. I'll be back very soon, I promise." With those words small tears began to form in Roland's eyes.

"No, Daddy! Bring me wif yous," Roland buried his head into Robins shoulder and Regina began to feel sorry for the little boy. She didn't want Robin to have to leave him here just for her. "Roland I have to, I have to take Miss Regina to her home…"

Regina interrupted him, "Robin, why don't you let Roland come with us? He won't be any bother, and I would hate to keep you away from your son." Was he hearing her correctly? The so called Evil Queen seemed so nice, he didn't understand why she had that label, other than the stories he had heard about the things she had done.

He smiled, "If you're sure about that, Regina," When he saw her nod he set Roland on his feet. "Very well then, let's get the horses ready."
