Hello!

Welcome to the Hidden Tales of the Black Widow.

This story is a series of one-shots of my OC's adventures in the Enchanted Forest outside the main story The Evil Queen's Black Widow. There stories I've come up with that I can't fit into the main story. They aren't in any order.

Expect slow updates.

Started off this with a couple of flashback from the main story to get it up and running.

The face claim for this story is Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff in the 2012 Avengers movie.

Enjoy!


The curse was coming. The Black Widow headed the Queens Guard on horseback with the Queen in her carriage running from the curse's dark purple clouds. Hooves thundered on the dirt road leading to the Royal Castle. Amelia headed the Queens Guard in a tight V formation as they stormed the castles vast bridge. "For the Queen!" Amelia roared unsheathing her sword as they met the Royal front line ahead of them.

"For the Queen!" the guards roared back at their leader. This was it the final charge into enemy territory. Amelia ran ahead of the guards crouched up on her saddle as her horse raced the last hundred yard or so into the royal couples' guards. Amelia steadied her crouch as her armoured horse charged straight into the awaiting guards. Amelia sprang from her position on the horse to leap up and over the guards and landed in a roll on the other side of the defenders. She reached into her belt and took out the protype explosives. A small black ball was rolled into the middle of the guards while taking out one of her primed flintlock guns and took aim at the small ball.

"Boom" she whispered as she pulled the trigger. The pellet of lead met the black ball that had settled itself in the middle of the guards and exploded creating a large fireball outwards sending the guard outwards over the bridge or those unlucky being burnt. Amelia had to cover her face with her arm as a wave of heat rushed towards her. The explosion created a hole for the remaining Queen Guards catching up to the Assassin to easily pass into the castle grounds. Queens horses thundered passed her as they started their assault on the castle. Amelia saw the Queens carriage coming towards her.

The driver leant down with his arm and Amelia caught his arm making her vault up and over to land on the roof of the carriage as it went further into the castle grounds. Chaos was around the carriage as the guards met those loyal to the royal couple fought each other. As the carriage skidded to a stop, Amelia leapt off the roof to the door and opened the carriage door and held out a hand in front of the open door.

A pale had with dark coloured fingernails was placed in the Assassins hand. The Evil Queen stepped out of the carriage onto the castle cobblestones. "Good work with the guards Assassin"

"Thank you, my Queen"

"I take it the royal couple are in the castle" Amelia turned her to the castle as she opened her sixth sense she saw through the wall many people running from the Queens guards throughout the castle passageways. She homed in one of the towers surrounding the castle. She saw two gold figures huddling together with a third smaller figure. A child. The saviour. She saw Snow White hand the babe to Charming and run from the room where his wife was left wailing in grief. Amelia's vision went back to normal as she turned back to the Queen.

"The saviours just been born. The Prince has taken the babe and is running towards the West tower"

"Good work as always Assassin" The Queen praised the younger woman, she placed a loving hand on the woman's cheek "Soon, we'll have our happy ending, together" she smiled at the Assassin. Amelia mirrored her lovers smile and leant into her hand.

"Now go bring me Charming's head" the Queen sneered at her and took her hand away

"With pleasure, my Queen" Amelia agreed and stepped away from the Evil Queen. Amelia held up her right gauntlet and with her left pushed a button that triggers the rope launcher in her right gauntlet aims for one of the highest windows into the castle. The rope launcher pull her up the side of the castle. Once she reached an open window she stood on the ledge and aim her rope launcher again at the West tower were Charming was headed. Amelia used it as a zipline toward the tower. With 5 tugs at the rope she propelled herself towards the open window and climbed inside.

Once she landed inside the tower, she looked around and saw she was inside a nursery. A large crib stood to one side of the room with a mobile hanging over it. The mobile hung several glass unicorns. Amelia heard shuffling the other side of the room and saw a tree stump sitting. Two wooden doors were cut into it. She approached it and opened it. It had been hollowed out.

Interesting…. This must be the tree my informants told her about

She heard more shuffling and bend down to get a better look inside. She reached out and pushed at the back of it. Surprisingly the back of it gave way revealing a small boy inside.

Amelia knew the boy instantly. It was Pinocchio. Geppetto's boy. She smirked at the boy as he stared back. He looked terrified.

"I guess there are traitors living amongst Snows most trusted. Certainly, an interesting development"

The boy whimpered. To which she only smirked more "Don't worry boy, your secret is safe with me until the royal couple find out about this treason. I'll see to It myself. Put the board back up and you need to be quieter, I don't think even Snow White would forgive your father for this plight" the boy nodded and pushed the fake back up with Amelia's help.

Amelia went back to her task and left the boy in the tree stump and ran into the hallways, she passed several of the Queens guards ran past her. She rounded a corner to see Charming fighting off two guards with his sword holding the baby in his arms. He easily fought them off sending both guards onto the ground even when holding a baby. Amelia saw that he didn't get away unscathed. He was bleeding from the wound on his chest the blood soaked his doublet.

Amelia unsheathed her sword and stepped out from the corner. Prince Charming saw her. "Nasty cut there Charming. Surrender and I'll make your death quick"

"Never" he stated "If you're gonna kill me at least let me see your face Assassin, or are too much of a coward under that hood"

Amelia reached up and pulled down her white hood. To reveal her face to him. Her long fiery hair fell around her shoulders "This good enough for you Shepherd"

"You're a woman, so Snow was right, it was you that saved her as a child" Amelia stepped forward towards the Prince

"I may have saved her once, but I'm not that same woman now"

"I can see that" A rumble if thunder was heard coming closer to the castle

"So are we just gonna talk, there is a curse coming, and I'd say you're running out of time"

"So, fight me"

"Gladly" Amelia swung her thinner sword towards the Prince. He easily parried it. This went on for a time until Amelia took her chance as the impaired Prince who was trying to protect his new-born and slid on her knees as he swings his sword at her a little too high. Amelia used her dagger to deeply slit the back of his calf making him fall onto his knee heavily. He used his sword and uninjured leg to stop him from falling onto the ground.

"Aaargh" the prince exclaimed in pain as Amelia stood back up and rounded the Prince in pain like a predator ready to give him the killing blow. He shakily looked up and saw he wasn't too far from the nurcery and the enchanted tree, he could make it.

"Please" he begged the Assassin "Please I need to get to the nursery, please. I know you're not like the Queen you still have your code. My daughter…she's innocent" Amelia rounded the Prince to look at the bundle in his arms and crouched down. Charming looked her in the eyes "Please I know there's good in you. And something tells me your Queen hasn't fully turned you dark"

"Why would you say that?"

"Because you haven't killed me" he pointed out "Only stopped me. Please I'm begging you" he panted through the pain

Amelia looked at him and looked back at the babe in his arm. She hasn't even cried. "Please" he's a father protecting his child.

'Just like what Romeo tried to do for us' the voice in her head suddenly spoke up

'Just like Henry tried to do for Regina' her thoughts turned back to Henry. He was a good man 'better than you ever will' Amelia had been devastated that his daughter blinded by hatred took her father's heart and life for a damn curse even she didn't want to happen. Even she couldn't convince her to end her vengeance once and for all but even her love for the Queen wasn't enough.

'Just like we tried to do' the next voice told her. The voice she yearned to hear again. Her heart clenched as she thoughts let the memory through.

"Please" Charming begged once again, which brought Amelia back to the situation in hand. A tear escaped from her eye as she looked at the small child.

What the hell was she doing? This isn't how she was raised, what she was taught. All the hate and ager that had imbedded her soul for so much suddenly lifted off her shoulders. A shaky breath left her lips as her world spun around her. her feet made her step away from the injured Prince holding his new born as fresh air entered her lungs for the first time in years.

She found herself she was able to breathe again. As the noise outside of swords ringing out against their rivals reached her ears, she saw the destruction they had left behind as her eyes found the knights that the prince had managed to fight off before she stopped him. So much blood. And for what?

What had she done?

Reaching into her satchel and took out a small medicine bottle and uncorked it and held it out to the Prince.

"I'm sorry" she whispered to him, he almost didn't hear "take it I'll will heal you enough for you to get the tree" he was taken aback that she knows about the enchanted tree stump

He stared at the tears-streaked Assassin in confusion "How do I know it's not poison"

"I guess you'll have to trust me" The prince took it and dropped his sword to take the small bottle from the woman and shot it down his throat. He could feel it take effect instantly he left the wound on his calf knit back together, not fully healed but enough for him to stand on again. She stood to meet him.

"Thank you" he exasperated in relief as the pain ebbed away

"Go, I'll stop any more guards coming your way, hurry" he nodded as he picked his word up and headed towards the nursery with a slight limp, but he stopped and turned back to see Amelia pull her hood back up over her head.

"I won't forget this." He called back "Me and Snow will be forever indebted to you with our lives"

"Run Charming. The Queen will have my head for this, then yours" she told him. Charming nodded and run toward the nursery. Amelia looked back to the corridor an saw several Queens Guard burst through the end door. She readied her sword with her right hand and held out her left unsheathing the lethal hidden blade.

"Let's dance boys" Amelia said as the guards charged at her.

"How did I know you'd do this" the menacing voice spoke from behind Amelia as she pulled out her sword from a guard and faced the Queen. Guard's lie dead or dying around her as she slowly turned around to meet the Evil Queen's dark glare that would kill on any other day.

"Vengeance has consumed you. I won't let it consume me" Amelia readied her fighting stance with her sword

"So be it" Regina conjured a fireball in her hand and threw it at her lover hitting the woman in the chest sending her to the floor. Her armoured chest plate took most of the hit, but she couldn't move from the floor. Amelia stared at the ceiling waiting for the Queen killing blow, her robes wouldn't save her this time. The Queen blocked her view of the ceiling as she stood above the woman she loved.

"Just tell me why now?" the Queen asked from above, the hurt in her eyes made her heart break

"She's innocent" Amelia forced out of her teeth as she felt the Queens foot press into her chest making her groan out in pain

"So was Daniel. We could have had our happy ending in the new world"

"We could have had our happy ending in Monteriggioni, you stopped yourself from it. You are your own worst enemy Regina"

"It's your Majesty" Regina sneered pushed her heel into her lover's chest once more leaving her on the floor.
