I know I have been a Little late in the updates lately, but it is only because of Christmas witch is over now, so I will try to post everyday :D Enjoy

"Mother," Regina said coldly and didn't bother to turn around when Robin gasped as he realized who the woman was. She had to keep her eyes on Cora. Had to protect Robin.

"My sweet, sweet daughter, happy birthday," Her mother said and took a step closer. Regina stood in front of Robin to protect him.

"Don't take any steps closer," She said and tried to sound like she wasn't afraid. She was, she was scared of her mother, she knew she'd stop at nothing to get what she wanted, power and the only way to get it was through Regina. And She didn't care who died or got hurt in the process. "What do you want?" She asked.

"I just wanted to see my sweet daughter on her 19th birthday. I can't believe you have grown so much" She said and took one more step towards them. Regina swallowed a lump in her throat. She was trying desperately to control her magic. But there were so many emotions right now. sadness, anger, loss, fear.

"How did you find me?" She asked. If Rumpel had told her, she would kill him her self. He knew how much Regina hated her mother.

"I knew were you where since you ran away. I just didn't want to bother you. We have had our misunderstandings, and i thought time would do you good. But now I'm here," regina shaked her head the tears threatening to fall.

"Misunderstandings?" She said in disbelief. How could her mother try and make herself seem so innocent after what she had done. "You ruined my life. You killed the man i love. Took away my happiness," Regina cried.

"I didn't," She said. And Regin shook her head. "I didn't kill him," Cora said and for a moment everything froze for Regina. Was she telling the truth? Was Daniel really alive? She had never actually seen his heart turn to ashes. She had just assumed that was what happened after she ran away.

"You are lying," Regina whispered and started suffocating her mother with her magic. But in an instant Daniel was standing beside Cora bound by ropes. Regina gasped. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. It couldn't be true. She had mourned him, moved on. She had cried, she had ached for him. And now he wasn't dead? "Daniel," She gasped. The tears streaming down her face.

"Regina you need to…" Before Daniel got to finish he was poofed away again. Regina took a step closer as if trying to reach him before he slipped away again. And her heart ached she was losing him again. So without realizing she made the tree's fall around her. One hitting herself and Robin, but she removed them just as fast as they hit.

"Mother please," She pleaded. She needed to see him, needed to get solish. She had so many questions inside her. So many things she needed to now. And she needed to feel his arms around her, just one more time.

"You can have him back." She said. Regina's heart started beating again when she heard what she had said. "If you become queen, and if not. I will kill him " Cora added.

"I will!" Regina yelled not giving it a second thought. She couldn't lose him again. It would be too hard.

"Tomorrow you will come to the castle and take the crown," Cora smirked before disappearing like she appeared. For a moment Regina stood there trying to process everything that had just happened, until she heard Robin shift behind her. Robin.

"Robin I…" She said turning around. She didn't know what to say, she didn't even know what to think a believe. She was so confused, so split. "I'm sorry, but I can't let him die. Not agian," She said.

"Don't be sorry, I understand Regina," He said with a sad smile. She could see the pain so clearly in his eyes. And it made her sad, she was hurting him. Even though it wasn't her fault. But this was hard for her to. She had just found out her first love wasn't dead. The man who had given her freedom. But she had mourned him, she had learned to move on, with Robins help. And Robin had been there for her, made her have feelings for him. And he had been so good to her. But still Daniel had given up his life for her. Even if he wasn't dead, he would have.

"I didn't know, I swear, I was so sure he was dead," She said looking down. Her head was spinning everything going around at once. When she noticed the beautiful bracelet around her wrist. He had given it to her a moment ago, told her he wanted to be with her till he died. And now everything had gotten so messed up. And her heart ached.

"Are you sure there is no other way to stop your mother, without you having to be a queen?" He asked formally, not looking into his eyes. And she knew why, he was to hurt.

"There is one way," She said. The dark curse. It would be the only way to stop her mother from controlling everyone in the kingdom through Regina and to keep the people she cared about safe. But the price, was she ready to pay that?

"What way? Regina if there is a way it will be worth it. If it means you don't have to go through it again. That your mother can't destroy the world," He said. She nodded. He was right. Sne needed to start thinking about other people then herself. Needed to think about Robin, Daniel, Mulan, the merry men and the rest of the world here. Cause as long as there were magic there would be evil. Including herself. She couldn't control her magic either and she had already killed someone with it. It needed to be destroyed whatever the cost

"The dark curse. The one that will give us a world without magic." She said. Robin looked confused at her.

"But you said it didn't work, that you didn't have all the ingredients," He said confused. She nodded.

"it's just not going to be easy. I have to give up some important things," she said taking a deep breath before taking the bracelet off. "Thank you Robin, but you should give this to the woman you are going to be with forever. And that's not me," She said sadly. She knew what the cost would be. But when she saw the hurt in his eyes she realized how this must have looked to him.

"I'm sorry, but you are right. This is just something I need to do," She said a tear falling down her cheek. She smiled sadly before planting a loving and desperate kiss upon his lips. If this was the last time she was going to see him, she had to make it count.

"I love you," She breathed when she broke the kiss. She had to tell him. This wasn't the right time, but she had no more time. Her mother was a danger. She was a danger, everyone with magic were a danger.

"What is the cost? Is this going to hurt you. Take away your memory or something?" He said holding her wrist as she was trying to leave.

"Robin you have to understand, I don't want my mother to harm you or Daniel. I love you both to much. And I am tired of hurting people with magic, I have hurt you with it to many times, I don't like who I've become and I need to chance this, not just for me, but everyone here. My mother is dangerous as long as she has magic she will stoop at nothing until she is the ruler, understand that this is so important to me" she Said trying to be strong. Trying not to break down.

"What is the cost Regina?" Robin tried agian completely ignoring what she had just said. She swolled a lump in her throat.

"My life," she whispered and robin eyes widend. She could already see him panicin.

"Regina I will not let you do this...think of all the..." She cut him of by crashing her lips on his. The kiss was warm and passionate, her tears falling down hitting his face. She placed the bracelet in one of his hands.

"I'm sorry" she whispered freeing their hands. "Please forgive me someday and please find happiness," she said before poofing herself in a cloud if smoke.

"Rumpel, i will do your curse," she yelled as she appeared were they used to meet in the forest...
