Guest Review: "Why would her last name be White? That is a middle name like Mary Margaret. Not her last name. And if it was Emma would have her father's name because they are married not her mothers. Just no."

Well, in this story, Snow White is her full name and David is just a farm boy so they had to keep Snow's full name because she is royalty. Kind of like celebrities. When they marry, they keep their maiden name and not their married names.


Chapter Three: Her Broken Wing

Regina couldn't sleep last night, she stared at her now empty room and all her memories raced through her mind like a canon. She remembered her letter she sent to Emma that told her she was being "sold" to a Prince who was vile and disgusting and that there was no way out of it and she needed saving but her hero, her savior, never arrived. She felt her life being taken away by force and her soul is still trying to fight it's way to freedom and soon, just at the peak of sunrise, Regina will throw on her brown riding suit and run to the stables. She found her horse and ready it for her journey.

"Come on, Rocinante." She urged her horse out of the stables. "We have to leave now before Mother notices I am gone!" She got on the horse and tightened her grip on the reigns and they rode off as fast as he could. "Faster, Rocinante! We must hurry!" He did as he was told and they could see the forest which meant in a few minutes, they would be free of her Mother's fury but just as they were about to enter the forest, vines magically wrapped around Regina's body and pulled her off her horse, leaving her hanging in the air. Regina looked at the vines and they tightened and she winced at the pain.

"Do you really think you could leave without my permission?" Regina recognized the deep, agitated voice below her. "Really, Darling. Why are you making such a big fuss about all of this?" The vines loosened around her body and lowered her closer to the ground.

"Mother, please! I don't want to marry him! I do not love him!" Regina begged to Cora.

"Ha! My Darling daughter. Do you really think that marriage is about love?" Regina looked at her mother, confused by her words. "Don't you want to be Queen?"

"No, Mother! That is what you want! I don't want this! I never did! I want Emma! I love her!" The vines tightened around her body and looped around her neck so she couldn't breathe.

Cora looked at her daughter with rage. "Never speak her name around me! You are to marry the king and become Queen! That is an order! He will arrive in three hours. Make yourself useful and get ready. All of your things better be outside before then." The vines dropped her and Cora vanished in purple smoke.

Regina fell to her knees and punched the ground with the side of her fists, screaming. She knew that doing what she was told to do, she would be handing her life away, never seeing her dear Emma again.

Rocinante slowly walked towards her and nuzzled her hair with his nose and decided to lay down with her. She laid down on the side of his back and cried. The only person that could save her right now is herself.


Rocinante quickly lifted himself off the ground and with nothing to hold up Regina, she fell backwards and awakened.

"Rocinante! Really?" Regina scolded her horse, messaging the growing bump on her head. The horse dug his hoof into the ground and bobbed his head. Regina realized they had fallen asleep and she didn't have much time left so she quickly got up and mounted Rocinante and rode towards their home. Rocinante ran faster for the sake of the girl.

"What am I going to do, Rocinante?" Regina laid her head down on his head, holding onto his neck. "It seems like she is selling me off for the right price! Prince Leopold is scary to me!" She closed her eyes and let him lead them home.

When his running slowed down, she lifted her head and saw all of her bags and belongings are on the steps of her mansion. Her Father came out the door with the rest of her stuff in his hands. Regina quickly got off her horse and helped her Father with the bags.

"Thank you, My Dear." Henry said with a shaky voice. His face was melting from lifting all of her bags on his own and going up and down the stairs far too many times.

"Daddy, you shouldn't have done this! You could have hurt yourself." Regina grabbed his handkerchief and wiped off the sweat from his forehead and cheeks. He raised his hand and slowly got up.

"Your Mother told me what she had done to you this morning and threatened all the staff that if they helped you move your belongings outside, she would fire them...and worse." Henry looked at his daughter and gently placed a hand on her cheek. "My darling daughter, I never wanted this for you. I just want you to be happy."

Regina's eyes released a single drop of tear and her father wiped it away and held her tightly. "I know, Daddy. Thank you."

The sound of horses and a whip made Regina hug her father tighter. The carriage slowly made its way to the two and the driver jumped off and opened the door.

Cora walked outside and stood beside her husband. "That is the White's Royal carriage." Henry looked at his wife then to his daughter who just turned to see the carriage.

Queen Snow and King David stepped out with grace and their audience bowed, except for Regina.

"She is not with us, child." Snow told Regina not unkindly. "But she does wish you the best on this very special day." Henry and Regina looked at each other, confused and heart broken. Cora stepped forward and curtsied.

"Your...Majesties," Snow glared at Cora but bowed her head a little. "Why have you come? Do you wish to stop this marriage?" King David stepped in front of his wife.

"Of course not. You have made the decision. We have come to make peace with the future King and Queen of the nearby Kingdom."

"Perfect." Cora faked her smile. "Prince Leopold should arrive any second now and-"

"Where is Emma?" Regina cut off her mother's sentence. "I wish to speak with her."

"Watch your tongue, Regina!" Cora sneered at her daughter.

"No, Mother." Regina stepped closer to the King and Queen. "I want to see Emma!"

Snow sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Our daughter doesn't wish to speak nor see you ever again." Regina stepped back and felt her heart tighten and squished into dust and felt her body fall into a dark hole. "I'm sorry, child."

Henry grabbed her shoulders gently and walked her to the top of the steps, "Regina, I'm so sorry."

"Are you? Because of the looks of it, you seem proud." Her father retracted his hands and saw hatred in her eyes. "You and Mother have been waiting for this haven't you...Father?"

"Regina, I never meant for this to happen-"

"Right because when The Queen told me that the only person I care about in this pathetic world doesn't want to have anything to do with me, you seemed too peaceful."

Henry sighed, "My Dear, I know you are angry but I-"

"No, Father. I am not angry. I am damaged, mutilated and pulverized. Not because of Emma. No! Because YOU are letting Mother sell me to the highest bidder! Don't you care what I think? Does anyone in this god forsaken world care what I think?" Regina was so angry that her words came out like sandpaper and they scratched her fathers eyes. She held in the truth for so long that her body shook.

"I don't want to marry him! He is vile and disgusting! Didn't you see the way he was looking at me, Father? Do not sell me! Do not throw me away!" Her pleas gravitated Henry and he pulled himself towards his weeping daughter. She grabbed his blazer and pulled him in closer, begging him to never let go.

"Daddy! Please! Don't let me go!" She cried in his shoulder.

"My baby!" He wept as he held her. "My Darling daughter. You are the only light in my life and I never wanted this."

"THEN PLEASE! PLEASE! STOP THIS!" She screamed. They were high enough to where no one could hear them but the smallest sound tore her soul. Another sound of hooves approaching. She looked at the entrance to the woods and saw a brown carriage coming their way. She held her hand against her chest and tried to calm her breathing. Cora walked up the stairs and grabbed Regina's arm.

"It's time." Cora pulled her daughter down the stairs but was stopped by her husband. He reached and grabbed Cora's arm.

"Cora, we should rethink this."

"Excuse me?" Henry pulled Cora's arm away from his daughter.

"We shouldn't do this. Can't you see what this is doing to our daughter?" Cora looked at Regina and saw her red eyes and tear stained cheeks then back at her husband who looked the same. "Cora, think about this. She is far too young!"

Cora pulled her arm free and glared at him. "If you ever disagree with my decision about MY daughter again, it will end with your head on a spike." Henry saw the confusion in Regina's face and stepped back. "I know what's best for Regina. She deserves to be Queen."

"Mother, I don't want this! Please listen to me!" Regina tried to free herself from her mother.

"Oh hush child! You are far too young to make your own decisions. You don't know what you want."

"Mother, listen to me."

Cora pulled her closer, "No you listen to me. You are going to be Queen like you have always deserved."

The carriage pulled in behind the White's and Prince Leopold stepped out, confused that King David and Queen Snow are here.

"Well isn't this a surprise." He walked up to the White's. "Your Majesties, may I ask why you are here?"

King David walked up to him and stuck out his hand, "Prince Leopold." Leopold took his hand and shook slowly. "We have come to see the new King and Queen of the near by kingdom."

"Ah, and here I thought you were going to finally give your blessings for your daughter's hand in marriage." Leopold said loudly. Regina looked at the King then at Leopold suspiciously.

"Wait, you asked Princess Emma?"

Leopold turned his body towards his bride to be, "Yes I did. Why wouldn't I? She is THE Royal princess and we could merge our Kingdoms." Regina was furious. How dare he ask the woman she loves to marry his disgusting ass.

King David cleared his throat and leaned to the side, on the hilt of his sword. Prince Leopold turned pink.

"But of course, Princess Regina is the fairest maiden in all of the land. I'm proud to make her my bride." He smiled and looked at Regina up and down, slowly. Imagining her in the darkest way. Regina felt violated and stepped closer to her father who was glaring at the man.


A little after their conversation ended, Leopold's coachman started to put Regina's luggage into the back wagon and it made her heart sink. She stood in the stables with Rocinante, brushing his back, humming her lullaby. Her father walked in with hands behind his back.

"My Darling. It is almost time." He waited for her answer but was greeted by silence. He sighed and groaned as he seated himself on a bench beside him. "Regina. I know. I know you are upset with me." He scoffed and punched his knee with the side of his fist. "But, my god, I tried!" Regina stopped brushing Rocinante.

"I tried, damn it! I tried to stop this! You do not deserve this...torture." His voice started shaking as he spoke. "Regina, my only daughter, I wish there was some way to stop this madness!"

Regina gripped the brush and threw it aside. "YOU ARE LETTING THEM TAKE ME?" She couldn't feel her legs but they were walking her to her father. Her rage overthrowing her body. "HOW COULD YOU LET THEM DO THIS TO ME!"

Henry knelt before his daughter. "Regina, please! Forgive me! I have done everything in my power to-"

"NO, FATHER! I CAN NOT DO THIS ANYMORE! I AM NOT FOR SALE!"

"No, you are not, my Dear." Cora appeared behind Regina. Henry got up as fast as he could and stood between them and held out his arm to shield his daughter.

"CORA!" He yelled. "Enough of this!" Cora laughed and lifted her arm and moved it to the side which made Henry magically thrown to the other side of the stables and the horses shouted.

"Mother!" Regina backed up into the wall.

Cora walked towards her and caressed her cheek. "I've only wanted what's best for you. I gave you everything. Everything! Everything I didn't grow up with. And now you have the opportunity to become Queen and you act like a fool in front of everyone!"

"I NEVER WANTED THIS, MOTHER! YOU WANTED ALL OF THIS! NOT ME!"

"You foolish, naïve little girl!" Cora looked into her daughter's eyes and saw the fear and hatred in her eyes. "Soon. Soon, you will see things my way." Cora touched her chest and pushed until her fingers were around her heart. "I will make everything better." Regina wailed at the pain. Then Cora pulled out her heart and Regina fell at her feet.
