A/N: Hi all, hopefully you all enjoy this story. Obviously there's more to come still. I haven't decided just how much more yet. But i've got a few chapters already written that i'm editing. Leave me comments with what you do/don't like. It's been a while since i've written anything substantial.
Prologue
Regina awoke with no recollection of how she had gotten home the previous night. She remembered Hook trying to step into that vortex of darkness and then nothing. She stretched out, straining her memory to put the pieces of the evening back together. She'd stepped into stop him. He was crazy if he thought he could handle the power of the dark one. And then nothing. Damnit, she must have been sucked in with him.
What did that mean? She strained to remember what she knew about the Dark One. They always spawned in the Enchanted Forest, that would explain the stick poking into her back. She wriggled to try and get comfy. Something felt off though, her arms just wouldn't do what she wanted them to. Great she was paralyzed and trapped in the Enchanted Forest with Guyliner as the new Dark One.
She sighed and opened her eyes. No time like the present to deal with her impending destruction. Except. There was no one there. She was surrounded by trees yes, but there was no Dark One. Her eyesight was also a thousand times better than before. And there were so many sounds. One of which she was sure was a car revving, maybe she wasn't in the Enchanted Forest at all. She looked down, maybe she wasn't human either.
What Regina could see of her nose was completely black and covered in fur. She rolled to her side and realized, she wasn't paralyzed at all. Her body just worked differently than normal. She was a dog. She sighed, why did these things always happen to her? You try and do something good, and you get turned into a dog. Always the way.
