Authors Note: I was challenged to write my own story in a response to a forum I put up earlier today. Very well, I will do my best to fulfill your challenge. Perhaps I shall even be able to make it bigger than I put in my forum.

Chapter 1

Regina tried hard to keep her face calm and composed as she left the hospital and returned to her home in Storybrooke, Maine. As she drove, she gazed out the windshield at the town her curse had created and seriously considered what her quest for revenge had wrought. The countless lives irrevocably changed as a result of her single-minded determination to punish Snow White for Daniel's death. Realizing that she would no longer be welcome in the town, Regina resolved to look for a new realm in which to restart her life. Hopefully where she would never be found by the residents of Storybrooke. Over the next several hours, the former Evil Queen spent time in her vault going through her spell books and hiding from her angry citizens. She finally found what she was seeking, a spell that would give the caster a fresh start in a different universe. Thoughts about her son Henry plagued her mind tall through those long hours of study and searching. Would he miss her at all, or would he only be happy that he didn't have to live with the Evil Queen anymore? "I hope that your birth mother is able to be everything you want her to be" Said Regina. Regina raised her arms and took a deep breath, "da mihi vitam novam in quodam loco novi" (lat. for give me a new life somewhere new). There was a flash of light and a bang and two hours later when angry citizens stormed in to deal with their former mayor the crypt was empty.
