Hey guys I am going for a darker story than usual. Let me know what you think. This is not going to be the happiest of ending. But let me know what you think of this and if I should go on with the story.

David finally let Regina be alone with Daniel. The only thing keeping her apart was the door that was containing her love in a stall. She slowly unlocked the door and opened the door. She wanted to make sure he was really there. She finally saw the Daniel standing there in his burial outfit, and found speech to her true love walking around once again.

Regina was eighteen all over again, as he walked towards her. He reached out his hand as if he were to kiss her like he used to. He touched her neck but he didn't pull her in for a kiss. He tightened his grip on her neck and quickly slammed her against the wall. Regina grabbed his hand trying to get him to loosen his grip which wasn't working.

"Daniel," Regina gasped for air. "ple… sto…" She couldn't finish her words as she was losing her breaths. "I love you." She stated with all her strength she had left in her.

The words hit Daniel's ear causing him to come out of his trance releasing her from his grasp. Regina held on the wall needing to catch her breath. "Regina?" Daniel quietly asked staring at his love. Who was older and with shorter hair.

"Daniel." She sighed with relief knowing he was back.

They quickly hugged each other into a tight embrace. He still has his same smell, same soft hair. She didn't want let go of her love as tears started leave her eyes. She finally broke the hug to look in his beautiful blue eyes. "I can't believe it's really you." She stated needing examine his entire body. Daniel took a step back away from her embrace looking as if he was in pain letting out a groan. "Daniel."

"Just stop the pain." He pleaded.

Regina thought of what she hated with Snow and other enemies, true love kiss can break any curse. Maybe his pain is a curse he responded to 'I love you'. She walked up to him, and pulled him in for a soft true kiss on Daniel's lips. Regina broke the kiss to look at her love once again hoping that true love's kiss worked. Daniel brushed Regina 's hair with his fingers and smiled.

Regina couldn't help but to smile at Daniel's smile; a smile she hasn't seen in the longest time. "Are... are you back? " She asked.

Daniel sighed with relief, "I feel a lot better. What happened? "

"That's great. " Regina couldn't lose her smile, "and I'm not sure but we will figure everything out and I will catch you up to speed." Regina kissed his cheek one more time. "Come on I want you to meet someone important to me." Regina took Daniel's hand and had him follow her outside.

Henry sat in the truck with David staring at the stables. "Do you think she is okay? Who was that?"

David wasn't a big fan of waiting for Regina after many times of her trying to kill him and Snow. "I'm sure she is fine she has her magic."

"But who is he Gramps." Henry questioned David still caring for his mother no matter what.

"He is..." David started but paused as he saw Regina walking out of the stables with Daniel the man who tried to killed Henry. David jumped out of the truck to the couple. "What the hell is going on? I thought you were going to take care of him?"

Regina placed her hand to stop David from coming near them. "David it's fine he is okay. He won't hurt anyone."

"Really if I haven't heard that before he nearly killed Henry." David snapped.

"Get out of my way I would like to speak to my son. Henry, " She called out walking towards the truck.

David stepped in front of the two, "He isn't going anywhere near him."

Regina rolled her eyes and looked at David, "You need to get over yourself." She said walking towards the truck to speak to Henry, "Are you okay" She asked her son after Daniel choked and threw him.

"Yes I'm fine. Are you? Who is he?" Henry asked his mother.

"I'm great and we'll talk about it later. Do you want to meet at granny's for breakfast?" Regina asked really needing to spend time with Henry.

Henry smiled seeing how much Regina has changed. "Yes I'd like that. See you tomorrow." He pulled her in for a hug.

Regina walked back from the truck to look at David, "Have fun charming." she took Daniel's hands and looked in his eyes. "Come on. Let's get you home and cleaned up." Regina smiled walking them to her car.
