Storybrooke

During the curse, Goldilocks' name was Chloe Giles. A high school student who was number one in her class. When Henry had told her who she really was, she wanted to believe it. She wanted to be someone who was a hero, and who had someone out there who loved her. In her fake world as Chloe, her parents had died when she was young and she took it upon herself to raise herself. And when she was eighteen, no one could do anything about that. Now, the curse had just lifted and all her memories had swarmed back to her of the Enchanted Forest. Chloe slowly wrapped her hand around the pendant that hung from her necklace and squeezed tightly. Henry had told her many time's that the Evil Queen was her mother. That Regina was her mother.

Snow must have known what she was thinking as she reached over and put a hand on her's, getting her to let go of the grasp on her necklace. "I am so sorry, Goldilocks." Snow said in a tone that had meant that she truly was.

Chloe put her hands down to her side with a small sigh and then shook her head. "What can one expect when their mother is the Evil Queen?" Chloe asked as she tilted her head. "But, you have other thing's to worry about. Like, getting to your daughter."

"So, it's true?" Emma asked from behind them as they turned to look at her.

Chloe stepped out of the way as she looked around at everyone there. While they were busy talking and hugging it out, Chloe knew what she had to do. She needed to talk to Regina and find out exactly why she had took her memories away. Why she wouldn't admit to being her mother. She ran off quickly and didn't stop until she was in the Mayor's front door. Out of breath as she climbed the stairs and Regina came from the kitchen having heard someone enter her home. "What are you doing?" Regina asked.

Chloe just stared at her a moment, still confused on how this woman denied her. It made her want to cry. The only person she could have in this world and she acted as though Chloe was just another member of this Town. Chloe reached up and ripped off her necklace as she threw it at Regina who caught it. "I believe this is yours." She said as she threw it, tears stinging her eye's as she turned to leave but then stopped. "You know what hurts the most?" Chloe asked as she turned to look at her. "That you promised to one day find me and then when you do, you make me forget you? Why?"

Regina put the necklace in her pocket. She didn't intend on keeping it but she knew Chloe would never take it back right now. "You were better off without me." Regina said barely above a whisper as she realized that it had only been a statement that made her sound weak so she added to it before Chloe could say a word, "And I was better off without you."

"What?" Chloe asked, her tears now running down her cheeks.

"How could I ever pull any of this off with you?" Regina asked, "You turned in to exactly what I didn't want you to and you would have stopped my revenge. You are pure. A hero who only fights for good and I couldn't have that in my life."

Chloe got closer to Regina, almost nose to nose. "So you replace me with Henry?" Chloe asked, "Don't get me wrong, I love the kid and I am bloody thankful for him! But was I really that easy to replace?"

Regina's eyes went soft only for a split second as she turned them hard again. She wanted her daughter to hate her because that meant she would have a reason to keep hating the world. "Yes." Regina said darkly.

Chloe had no idea where it had come from. She just felt this bolt of energy run through her hand and the next thing she knew, she slapped Regina hard across the face. Regina grabbed her cheek, and had it been anyone else, she probably would have melted them with or without magic. But Chloe was different. She did love her, more then anything or anyone but she couldn't be that honest right now. "You will get what is coming to you." Chloe said as she wiped away her tears.

Chloe made her way towards the front door when the doorbell rang. She slowly opened it up and saw Whale on the other side, and a crowd of people gathering on her front lawn. "Whale?" Chloe asked, "What are you doing?"

"Chloe." Whale said as he straightened his posture, not really expecting to see the blonde on the other side of the door. "We are only here to speak to the Evil Queen."

"Speak?" Chloe asked.

"Well, more or less." Whale said as Regina walked towards the front door.

Regina gently pushed Chloe aside and looked at Whale. "Speak to me?" Regina asked, "I think we have all heard just about enough from you already." Regina pushed Whale back on to her porch. "Now leave!"

"Not until we get our revenge on you, you're Majesty." Whale said in a sarcastic tone as the crowd went wild.

Regina stepped out on to the porch slowly followed by Chloe. Regina looked over the crowd with an evil little smirk. "Well," she said, "You all wanted to see your Queen? Well... here... she... is!" And with the last word, Regina threw her hands out as if about to cast a magic spell.

The crowd gasped and all moved out of the way for something that never even happened. Whale smirked and grabbed Regina by the throat as he slammed her against the post on her porch. "Looks like your magic doesn't work in this realm." He said.

Chloe went to stop him but someone from the crowd had pulled her back as Whale began choking the life out of Regina. "No!" Chloe exclaimed, just as Emma emerged from the crowd. "Stop!" She exclaimed just as Snow and David came behind her.

David pushed Whale back away from Regina and Snow got the one from the crowd off of Chloe. "You okay?" Snow asked Chloe and Chloe nodded at her.

"I know you all want revenge." Emma said in front of the crowd, "But this is not how to do it."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Someone yelled out from the crowd.

Emma looked towards Regina. "We lock her up." Emma said and Regina couldn't help but chuckle lightly and shake her head.

The Enchanted Forest

Johanna walked along the woods, off of the roads thinking it would be safer. The two guards short behind the older lady who held on to Goldilocks tight. A bag over her shoulder as she walked along. "Where are you taking the child?" One of the guards asked.

"To a dear, old friend's." Johanna replied. Goldilocks cooed in Johanna's arms as Johanna looked down at her with a smile. "It's okay dear Goldilocks. I am not going to let anything happen to you."

No sooner were the word's out of her mouth that she heard a noise. It sounded like something had flown through the air at almost light speed and hit something with a dead stop. She turned to look and saw an arrow in the tree beside the guard's head. "Good thing they missed." The guard said.

Just then Rumplestiltskin came from behind the tree and laughed his trademark laugh as he held up the bow. "Do you even know what this is, dearie?" Rumplestiltskin asked, "This is a bow that never misses it's mark. Had I been aiming for you, you would be dead. I made it myself, you see. One of the many thing's I possess that all people want. Was thinking about sending it to Oz for safe keeping." Rumplestiltskin set down the bow and looked at both the guards and then to Johanna. "Now watch closely."

Rumplestiltskin took out his sword and sliced the guard's throat with one swipe and then kicked him down to the ground. The other guard took out his sword and went for Rumplestiltskin who moved with ease and then stabbed him in the heart. He kicked him off his blade and to the ground, wiping the blood before making his way over to Johanna. "The King must not care too much for the child, if all he sent out for her protection was them and you." Rumplestiltskin said as Johanna held Goldilocks close to her.

"Do what you must." Johanna said, "But the only way you are taking this child from me, is from my cold, dead, hands."

"So you have created a bond with the child, that is good." Rumplestiltskin said as he moved in closer to her, "Because, I could kill you in less then a second, snatch the baby and do with her whatever it is that I want. But what I want is for you to take the child and never return to the castle."

Johanna took in a deep breath as she squinted towards Rumplestiltskin. "I thought you told the King you needed her." Johanna said, "For evil doing's."

"Oh but I do." Rumplestiltskin said, "But not her own. No no. I may have not been clear on that part, trying to steer King Leopold in to the wrong direction. See, I need her to go bye bye, so that I can create something darker then you can ever imagine."

Rumplestiltskin got close to Johanna as he spoke. His nose touched her's as Johanna could feel her heart beating quick and hard within her chest. "And what's that?" She asked, her tone laced with fear.

"Regina." Rumplestiltskin replied.

"The Queen?" Johanna asked as she shook her head, "You cannot!"

"Do not tell me I cannot, dearie." Rumplestiltskin said as he backed up. "Especially when I see the future and know too well that I can."

Rumplestiltskin disappeared in a cloud of black smoke, knowing just by the look on Johanna's face that they had a deal. Johanna would never return to the castle with Goldilocks and Regina would never be any the wiser on what had happened to them both.

When he had poofed, Rumplestiltskin ended up on top of Regina's closet looking down at her as she cried. "Tears never suited you." Rumplestiltskin said as he jumped down.

Regina jumped as she looked towards the imp and scowled. "What do you want?" She asked him.

"Just to be the bearer of bad news." Rumplestiltskin said with a gentle sigh as he put his hand on his chest. "Before I could even get to Johanna, and your little baby, someone else had gotten there before me. Killed every last one of them, including your infant daughter."

"You're lying!" Regina said through gritted teeth as she gave him a dark glare.

"Am I now, dearie?" Rumplestiltskin asked, "Thanks to all of this, I have to go back on a deal yet again! I promised those poor baker's a child. A child who comes from Royalty and now because /you/ had to get rid of her, you killed her! You've killed your own daughter!"

Regina put her hands over her ears and shook her head. "Shut up!" She demanded, not sure if she should believe it all or not. But, seeing how angry he was, she began to. "I killed no one. I was protecting her from you and my mother!" Regina exclaimed.

Rumplestiltskin acted shocked as he took in a deep breath. "It may have been your mother who killed her. You sent her away to get her away from your mother, but you could have sent her straight to her. At least with me, the child would have been safe!" Rumplestiltskin exclaimed.

Regina cried as she sat on her bed. Shaking her head and then wiping her tears as fast as they came from her eye's. "I'm sorry." She said the words in a low whisper to Goldilocks, "I am sorry!"

Storybrooke

Emma locked up the cell Regina was in as Regina sighed. "So, how long am I a prisoner?" Regina asked.

"Until we can figure everything out." Emma replied as she, Snow and David walked out.

Chloe looked at Regina who looked back. She wanted to say something so badly, but decided against it as she followed the rest of them out the door. Regina sighed and walked over to sit on the bed. She didn't get much time to rest on it when Gold had walked in. "Good evening you're Majesty." Gold said as he walked over to the bars.

Regina stood up and walked over as she looked at him. "We all know your visit's are never leisure so get it over with Rumple." Regina said, "What do you want?"

Gold chuckled his dark chuckle as he put some gloves on. "Funny thing, fate." Gold said, "When it knocks on your door. I had a little visit from someone of our past. Someone, I knew to be dead." Gold went silent a moment as he caught sight of Regina's expression. "Belle." He whispered.

"She is alive?" Regina asked, trying to act surprised.

"Now, don't try and act like you don't know anything." Gold said in a dark tone.

"I could have killed her. But I didn't." Regina said.

"No. You did something far worse." Gold said.

"You led me to believe my daughter was dead!" Regina exclaimed as she came up to the bars, giving him a dark glare.

"What you did to Belle was much worse then death!" Gold yelled at her, "I didn't lock Goldilocks up. I sent her off with Johanna, gave her a chance at life. What you did to Belle? You locked her away so that you could wait for the right moment to kill her. The moment it would hurt me most!"

Gold grabbed Regina's hand and pulled her in to the bars as he took out a pendant and put it to her hand. "What is that?" Regina asked, a little afraid of what the Dark One was doing to her.

"This is a fate worse then death." Gold said as he let go of Regina's hand, as she pulled back and looked.

Gold put his hands up, one holding the pendant and his lips in a perfect 'O' shape as he chuckled. Regina rubbed the palm of her hand as she glared at Gold and then looked back to her hand, wondering what kind of curse he had just put on her.
