*Hey everyone! I hope you are liking this story! Please review and tell me what you think, It means so much! Should I continue?*

The moment Regina plunged into the cold water she lost consciousness but she did feel the break. It felt like she had just fell through 10 sheets of glass one after another with the sharp edges harshly beating her as she made her entrance. She started to float towards the bottom of the deep lake surrounding her castle.

Ariel, a mermaid with bright red hair, beautiful brown eyes, wearing a purple top made from shells and a green tail fin. She was swimming by the castle looking for some new human things to add to her collection when she heard an echoing explosion kind of sound. She swam closer to where the noise had came from to get a better look and saw something that she never would have expected. It was a girl... a young women that was floating to the bottom of the sea heading towards her death. Ariel swam as fast as she could up to her and brought her to the surface. She tried to go over to the land but there were sharp rocks and boulders all around the shore to ensure that no unwanted visitors would make an appearance so she stayed where she was to see if the women was breathing but she wasn't so Ariel decided that if she wanted to give the brunette women the best chance of surviving, she would have to bring her to a place where she was sure they would both be safe. Neverland.

Luck was finally on Regina's side for once, she had just been saved by a mermaid who happened to be able to swim through different lands without trouble, and fast too. It was a matter of 5 minutes until Ariel reached the shores of Neverland. She swam up to the beach and layed Regina on the sand. She could finally have a good look at Regina now. She had lost almost all the color in her face and her lips were as blue as the sky from the temperature of the sea. She had bruises all over her body from who knows what.. Surely some from the impact of her fall but there were far to many for just that and a couple of unfortunate accidents. Someone had to have done this to her. She had a large cut on her cheek which was still bleeding and smaller cuts all on her arms and legs.

Ariel dragged Regina further up onto the beach. The weather on Neverland was lovely and warm today with clear skies but you could expect this from such a magical place. It had glowing white sand and clear water with healthy green flora everywhere, you could even hear all kinds of sounds coming from further in the island, animals, talking, even laughter. Some would say that Neverland is a place of paradise.

As soon as Ariel took out the bangle from her bag, she put it on her wrist which automatically turned her fin into legs. She ran up the sand to try and find the one person that she knew could save the young lady on the beach. Tink bell. Tinker bell's pixie dust could do almost anything! It was much more powerful then fairy dust.

"Tinker bell! Tinker bell?!" She yelled wondering though the jungle where she would usually find the fairy.

"Tink! Where are you?!"

"Right here Ariel! You know there berries are-" Tink appeared from behind one of the bushes holding a handful of glowing pink berries.

"There's no time! There's a women on the beach that needs your help! Do you have your pixie dust?"

"Uhh yeah, what's wrong? You know what the God Fairy would do to me if I used pixie dust without her permission."

"I am sorry but there is no time to explain, you have to come fast!"

Ariel pulled Tink along through the track that she just came and out to the beach where Regina was lying lifeless exactly how Ariel had left her.

"Oh my gosh!" Tink stared in horror.

"Hurry!"

Tinker bell sprinkled the pixie dust over Regina's lifeless body. The pair waited a couple of seconds when Regina finally stared to stir. She opened her eyes slowly, squinting to block out the harsh sunlight beating down on her.

"What happened?" Regina asked, confused.

Ariel let the question pass for now.

"What's your name, sweetie?"

"Re..Regina. Who are you? How did I get here?"

"Nice to meet you Regina! I am Ariel and this is Tinker bell. Could you tell us what the last thing you remember was?" Regina started to sit up as she remembered the earlier events.

"I was in my bed chamber and on the balcony when my step daughter scared me, the railing must have given way and I must have fallen.. I just remember hitting the water and everything going black. Where am I?"

"You are in Neverland." Tink finally spoke up.

"But how did I get here?"

"I brought you. I was swimming near by when I heard a crash and I came to see what it was." Ariels voice became more gentle and comforting. "I found you floating to the bottom of the ocean floor with bruises, scrapes and scars all over you.. I couldn't just leave you there.. I had to help so I brought you here and Tink used her pixie dust to heal you." Regina stared up at them both in amazement at there random act of kindness.

"Thankyou! No one has ever done anything for me like that before. How could I repay you?"

"Don't worry about it! How about we take you to our camp and get you cleaned up. Get you out of that wet gown! This is Neverland for God sakes!" Tink laughed while the other two giggled along as well.

Ariel and Tink helped Regina find her legs and took her to their camp. It wasn't really much of a camp anyway.. It was more like a place to sleep. There was a camp fire, a small tree house and some logs to sit on with the jungle surrounding them. When they got to the camp Regina took a seat on one of the logs as Tink and Ariel went to speak alone.

"What are we going to do with her?" Asked Tink.

"Well we couldn't just leave her there.. I don't think she come from a very good place anyway.. When I found her, she looked peaceful. She looked like she was happy to be dying."

"But what if people from her land are looking for her?"

"Well maybe once we get her settled in she might feel more comfortable with us and tell us about everything and if someone would be looking for her or not.. We will just have to cross that bridge when we get to it."

"Fine.. I guess she can stay for a bit. It would be nice to have someone new around."

They both returned back to Regina who was starring of into the distance.

"Regina?" Tink called.

"Yes?" Regina replied snapping out of her blank state.

"Would you like to stay with us here.. For a little while I mean, until you get back on your feet?"

Regina was delighted by this. This meant that she didn't have to return back to her angry, abusive husband and her ungrateful step daughter.

"I would love too." Ariel smiled at this.

"Ok, well then we better get you cleaned up so you can look like you really belong here!"

Regina followed the pair into the tree house to look for something to wear. They gave her a leather skirt just above her knees with a leather singlet top match slightly showing her stomach with a thin pair of brown, leather sandals with string that was tied up her leg like a ballet shoe. Ariel then did Regina's hair as a braid starting at the top right side of her head and making its way diagonally across finishing half way between her elbow and shoulder with flowers weaved all through it. She looked simply beautiful.

"Welcome to Neverland, Regina."
