Emma sat at the table on her Tenth birthday enjoying her party, a lovely party it is, but she couldn't help but feel lonely, she loved her mother and father dearly, but she doesn't have any friends, no one her age, the only people she talks to are her servants, she wants friendship, someone to talk to, to care about her, she wants a true love some day, though she knew she was much do young for that now.

Regina had given her father the poison all those years ago and for that she was so grateful, because she had no idea how she would have lived without him. Everyday she did the same things, wake up, eat half of her food and give away the rest. Go to her meeting with the lords of her kingdom, looks at the laws to be passed and the taxed and such, then she goes back to to her chambers where she sits the rest of her days with her father and sometimes her mirror as company.
"You told me I could be happy father... Help me be happy... I want to be happy..." She whispered to him one day, about eleven years after the exile.
"We are growing Regina, we have a kingdom again, loyal people whom have come to live in your kingdom of there own free will, they chose here over kings midus!" He spoke to her, looking into her clouded over eyes.
"And that is supposed to make me happy?" She whispered, looking past him toward the setting sun. The sky turning a golden orange as the day faded away.
"Yes regina, the people are learning to love you..."
"I don't want to be queen... I don't want to people to love me just because I don't let them starve... I want to be loved... I want to be in love with someone... But I never will..." She said quietly, the end a whisper for only here to hear.
"You will my queen, of this I promise."
She stood then, and walked to the balcony, "don't make promises you cannot keep" she mumbled and motions for him to leave the room.

"I wish to ride to the poorest village" she commanded suddenly, her head knight flinches at the harshness but abides nonetheless and marched off to fetch her carriage.
"And I want all the extra food from the pantry to be brought along!" She called after him, before she marched back up to her chambers to change. She ridded herself of the sheer black dress in exchange for a thick velvet one, and black cloak and riding boots. She then puffed herself down to her carriage.
"Put all the spare food inside, I wish to ride." She said, mounting her horse alone and starting in the journey.

They arrived at the village only half a day later. The village people cowered before her as she dismounted her black steed.
"I am not going to hurt anyone..." She says softly, letting a small smile grace her lips before she turns to her knights, "take out all the food and start to distribute it, and be kind to these people, I shall talk with them." Then she walked toward to closest family. They knelt before her, but she softly instructed them to stand.
A small blonde girl peeked out from behind her fathers legs and looked at the queen.
"Hello there..." The queen smiled.
"You're the queen..." The small child said, coming out slowly, "are you going to hurt us?" She asked, not accusingly, just curious.
"No sweetheart, I was just bringing you all some food..." Regina said, holding out her hand for the girl to take, she does and walked forward a bit, Regina knelt in from of her.
She could hear the parents both gasp at the sight of the queen on her knees, but said nothing.
"Hold out your hand sweetheart, I'll show you a magic trick"
The girl did as she was asked and held out her hand.
Regina wove her palm over the girls and suddenly a cupcake appeared in the child's hand. The girl beamed at the sight of it.
"Oh thank you your majesty!" She said, suddenly wrapping her arms around Reginas neck, hugging her tightly.
"You're very welcome, and you may call me Regina. What is your name?" She asked, smiling at the girl.
"I am Abigail, but most people call me Abby."
"Well Abby, you, and your family," she smiled at the parents, "are welcome at my castle anytime, perhaps some day you may visit me, even stay if you need a place" she said and kissed the girls forehead before standing and brushing the dirt from her knees, she takes the extended hand of the father as she pulled herself upright, thankful for the support for her recently weakening body.
"Thank you..." She mumbled not looking him in the eye.
"No, thank you your majesty, for all the kindness you have shown us... And our daughter..."
She smiled at that, looking between the man and woman, she took off her brackets, both covered in diamonds and handed them to the couple. "This is for you, use it as you will, and please, feel free to join me at the castle anytime..." She said, then hesitated waiting for a name.
"I am John, and my wife, MaryEllen" the man answered.
"Join me when you wish to, I will enjoy the company" she smiled.
"thank you so much your majesty, for the food, and the jewels, and the kindness for our dear Abby. We shall visit you soon" they knelt for her. She smiles and patted Abby's head before returning to her horse. The village thanked her as she left.

While her majesty is thankful for the invitation she regrets to inform you that she will be unable to attend, she sends her best wishes and a gift for your newest arrival
Queen Regina
Attached with the letter to Snow and Charming was a beautiful blue baby blanket with the white crest on it. Snow had heard about all that Regina had been doing for her kingdom, giving away jewels and food, giving shelter and anything the people needed, her kingdom was the most peaceful and let, the most lonely, she made no alliances, yet no one attacked, not only did she now have the most loyal subjects but she had the largest army of all the kingdoms.
X
She was 21 now, and curious, she wanted to know about the world, learn about other kingdoms. About this Regina her parents were constantly talking about, either, about how she was evil and just hiding it, or she was good and had let go of the past, they couldn't seem to make up their mind about it. The people of the dark kingdom all loved there queen, never once saying a hateful word against her, only saying things of how wonderful and kind she was. Yet she had never been to any of the balls or alliance meetings that her parents had held.

Regina had stopped going out, for 10 years she had been going out to the villages and giving away food, money, things they needed, using her magic to heal the sick or injured. But she couldn't do it anymore, she didn't have it in her, she was just so done.
So that day, she never even got out of bed. She just stayed, in her white night dress, covered in the large blanket, the drapes covering the sunlight. When Henry entered she simply informed him that she was ill.
"Regina dear... Are you alright?" He knelt by her bed.
"I'm feeling sick father, you should go, wouldn't want you to catch it..." She mumbled not at all convincingly.
"Regina I think that you and I both know that I can't catch what you have" he said, brushing the hair from her face.
"I want to be alone daddy... It'll
pass, it always passes..." She shut her eyes at the emotional pain the washes over her.
"Talk to me sweetie..."
"I don't want to be here..." She whispered after a long moment of silence.
"where do you want to be, I'll take you anywhere..." He said.
"I want to be dead." She looks at him coldly, "I want I be gone, put me out of my misery..." She said, then started sobbing.

For about the next six year no villagers saw there queen, very month a carriage of food was brought to the poorest villages, but she didnt leave her room, trying, and failing more than once to end her life herself. She hardly ate, only what was stuffed down her throat. Henry wouldn't let her die, she wanted so badly to just have it end, but he wouldn't let her leave. He took on all the responsibility of kings, though the people still call to the queen as the leader, having no idea what was happening with her.
Regina stayed in her bed all day, only getting up to bathe and on occasion sit at her apple tree and pick apples.
One cold day in March she laid in her bed, wrapped in the thick blanket, staring into the nothingness when she decided. Today she would get up, today she would be alive again, start to run her kingdom again, she needed to, she needed something to live for. She needed a reason, and she would need to find out herself, because one wasn't going to just fall at her feet. So she pushed the covers away from her body and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. She placed her feet firmly in the ground and stood, but the moment she did, she regretted it, because she felt herself sway as the lack of food and proper exercise caught up with her. She stumbled and fell forward, slamming her head into the tiles and the world went black.
