Regina removed herself from the rest of the group, retiring to the spot previously occupied by Rumple. She thought of her son. Where was he? Was he hurt? Would they be able to get to him on time? These thoughts began to get to the queen, she tried her best to hide her emotions as she always does but when it came to Henry this wasn't unusually the case, she couldn't control herself! Regina then thought about how she had treated Henry over the recent years. Ever since he had brought Emma to Storybrooke, she had clung to him tighter, not even realising that it had only pushed him further away. The more she had tried to change Henry's mind about her being the, Evil Queen, the more he hated her. Everything had that underlying scheming that couldn't possibly come of anything good.
When he was a little boy all that mattered to him was him mommy. But as he grew up and got older he began to pull away from her after discovering the truth that she wasn't his birth mother. Thinking to herself, I should have known it was too good to be true, how could anyone love me? The evil queen! She was unwanted by everyone. Yet they still saved her! Twice in fact! In the last few days and here they were on a boat together. Snow white and her prince had saved her from Greg, she couldn't understand why, but she was grateful! An emotion she never thought she would associate with snow. Then they saved her from the diamond. Something that charming said struck her "we're family". What did that mean? Had they forgiven me for everything I had done? She doubted it, though she still felt something she couldn't explain.

Greg and Tamara had tied Henry to a tree but no even this could diminish his hopes. He was thinking of his family in particular his mom, Regina. He realised that no matter what she did and what people told him about her, everything she had done in the recent years was because she loved him and he had finally realised this, he saw this in the mines, when she was willing to die to make sure he wasn't alone. His thoughts were interrupted; he was forcefully pulled to his feet by a startled Greg. "Come on kid, we need to move now!" The alarm in his voice worried Henry. He thought what could be so terrifying? He did as he was told; he knew it was best to just comply with their wishes for the time being. For he knew any sign of rebellion against his captors would lead to some cruel act.

Regina had now retired to her cabin below deck, just before she allowed herself to be overwhelmed with the emotions she was feeling. Once in her cabin she and into the bed and let herself be fully absorbed by her emotions. Once she had cried herself out, she sank into a deep sleep, dreaming of times gone by.
...
The young girl was out riding on her horse, enjoying her youth and being 'free'. There was her dear father, the prince, how she loved him. She was savouring this moment while she could, knowing it wouldn't last. Knowing that it would be disturbed by her… She was terrified of her mother and what she was capable of. As she expected right on cue there she was, strolling down the hill full of her own self importance. The only thing I can remember her saying was, "you ride like a man, a lady never rides without a saddle." How angry I felt. I couldn't take it anymore. Proceeding to leave I was engulfed in magic and subjected to her cruel heartless magic! I vowed that I would be good, for I knew it was the only way to end this treatment.
Then she was in the stables with her dear…
...
Regina was awoken by a noise above deck, she didn't care what it was now absorbed by more tear reminiscing on the lift she could have had and the life she had. She had lost everyone she had ever loved! Daniel; sweet, sweet Daniel, her true love. Snow had as good as ripped his heart out and crushed it herself, after she told my mother about our love and plans. My father, I had sacrificed him to enact the curse. My mother, snow tricked me into killing her myself by placing her cursed heart back in her body, and now Henry. Her little prince was lost and her only thought was would she ever see him again?
