A/N: I do not own OUAT. Though... It would be rather cool.

The snow disappeared completely in the past couple nights. Leaving the grass soaked in its wake. Puddles of melted ice lay in every corner of the kingdom. The bench I sat on had the perfect view of the land. The tree that had dripping leaves. The wilted flowers, once again attempting to bloom. On the field, guards and knights were practicing. The sound of clashing of swords and grunts of pain echo throughout the spring air.

The soft thumping of horse hooves pull me out of my thoughts, as a carriage pulls up along the dirt road. The door of the carriage opens softly, a leather pant clad Regina steps out. Her hair in a high pony tail, her straightened hair falling down. Falling right below her shoulder blades. A smile bloomed on blood red lips when she locked eyes with mine.

"Hello, my dear" She strode over to me, the heels of her boots clicking against the gravel.

"Hello, my Queen." I tease, stretching out the sound of her title. A smirk falls on her lips, as a small chuckle escapes.

She walks over, plopping down on the open space beside me. She shifts her body slightly, leaning into my side. She takes her hand and wraps it around mine, placing it in her lap.

"I have to leave soon.." She whispers into the air, her thumb softly stroking the back of my hand.

"I know. I still do not want you to leave" I grip her hand a little hard, leaning my head down on her shoulder. I looked towards the sunset, watching it start to fall between the mountains.

"You know.." I began. "At this time, I would be waiting outside my house. Staring at that road, waiting for two black horses to pass over the bend. Every time, I felt this flutter in my heart of anticipation. Even if you were not scheduled to come visit, I would still find myself waiting by that bend. Hoping that maybe you will come anyway."

Regina leaned in and placed a small kiss on the side of my head. I could feel her smile softly.

" .. I love you Emma." She whispers into my ear.

The sun set came closer towards the mountains. Creating a soft glow illuminating the earth. I walked along the forest, waiting. Regina has yet to have returned.

A soft rustling in a bush, draws my attention. I snap my gaze towards to bush, it shaking slightly.

"..Hello? Who is there?" No answer. My palms start to sweat slightly, nerves sitting in the bottom of my stomach.

The rustling grew and a branch snapped.

A white ball of fluff flew out of the bush, hopping along the small dirt path.

A bunny.

I laugh quietly to myself.
Oh gods I feel silly for being scared over a bunny.

I continue down the dirt path, kicking small pebbles as I walk.

The rustling starts again.

Twigs snap.

"Okay bunny you need to stop—"

A large figure appears, stepping out of the bush.

His face came into view, a wicked smirk plastered on his face.

He looked familiar.

He stepped out of the shadows, revealing himself. He wore white armor.

Oh gods.

It was the White Kingdom representative.

Rough hands pulled me, a black bag thrown over my head.

I struggled against the hands that were grasping mine behind my back. Like I was a prisoner…..

I am a prisoner.

I trip over my own feet, falling slightly. Stumbling to catch my fall.

"Keep moving!" A strong hand grabbed the back of my neck, pushing me forward.

A light damp smell, flows into my senses. The air chilled a bit, sending a small shiver racking through my body. I feel the floor beneath my left foot disappear. Panic over takes my body and I start to back up slowly.

"It is just stairs!" He growled, pushing me forward.

I trip over the first step, regaining my balance on the second. The steps descended, the White Kingdom representative following behind.

"Why are you doing this?" I whisper, fear evident in my tone. He kept on pushing me until we were on flat ground again. The air slightly warming up, the small sound of a crackling fire erupts in the room. He pushes me to a chair, letting go of my hands. I grab onto the arms of the chair, saving myself from a fall.

"Stay here." He grabs the sack over my head, ripping it off. I get my first glance of the room. The walls were snow white. The only difference of color came from the furniture. Pinks and browns covered the furniture.

The man stood by the door, staring off into space. His posture stiff against the wooden doors.

"Who are you?" I questioned, my voice slightly shaking.

He smirks, looking as though he takes pleasure in my fear.

The wooden doors bang open, revealing a woman dressed in pure white. Her long curly black hair clashing against her pure white exterior. Beside her stood a man, who held onto her hand like his life depended on it. They smiled at me, somewhat warm.

"Bow before Queen Snow White and King James!" The White Kingdom representative made his way over to me, grabbing me by my hair. He forced me on my knees.

"BOOTH!" The White Queen screeched. The man behind me let go immediately.

Booth is his name..

"Yes My Queen." His tone harsh, almost like The White Queen took away his favorite toy… Me.

I look up at the Queen and King, both postures rigid.

"You do not treat our guests like that!" She made her way over to me, holding out her hand towards me. I look at it skeptically… considering taking it just to get off the cold ground.

I decide against it.

She looks taken aback from my response. Pulling her hand back.

The King makes his way over to the Queen and I. He looks down at me with pity, I avoid his gaze.

"What do you want with me?" I question, my tone coming out a little harsh.

I stare down the Queen, not backing down. She looked at me with sympathy, bending down to me. She took my hand in hers, I go to pull it back.. she holds on tighter.

I clench my jaw tight, her eyes baring holes into mine.

"We are saving you….Emma."

My jaw clenches impossibly tighter, my eyes narrow at the White Queen.

"From who..?" I hiss.

"The Evil Queen." She smirks.
