We might fall -Ryan Star, We Might Fall
Time Period: A Series of Flashbacks
Place: The Mayor's Office
Regina's p.o.v
"Mommy, we have visitors" Solomon yells running into my office. I share this office with his
sister Avalon. Recently, Avalon has been working as my secretary. "Please use your inside voice,
dear. Your sister and me are working" I request. "Mommy, we have vistors" Solomon repeats in a
low soft voice. "You can bring in our guests" I instruct my son. Solomon bring in Tristan, Violet, and
Tessa. I am shocked to learn that Tristan and Violet are Tessa's parents. I remember when Violet
miscarried Tessa. Apparently, Henry has given Tessa a second chance at life. Since Henry is
the author, he can resurrect people. Anyhow, Avalon updates their family registry. I didn't have
to ask her to do it. She is just so prompt and organized. I would be lost without her.
Time of Day: After Work Evening Time
Place: The library
Regina's p.o.v
Unexpectedly, Rumple's presence startles me. Even now his silence is not enough. He picks up
the book that I have been reading off the floor. "A great storm is on the horizon. He is coming after
her. You must protect her at all costs" Rumple forewarns. He disappears back into the shadows
of my mind.
Time Period: Regina's nightmare
Regina's p.o.v
Merciless and coldhearted, he burns her at the stake. He casts her voodoo doll into the fire.
I wish I could trade places with her. He would much rather for me to watch her die. Silently, my heart aches and longs for her.
Regina's p.o.v
I wake up from my nightmare quite shaken and broken inside. My loud cries and screams send
Avalon running into my room. "Mom, I am here. How may I help you?" Avalon insists. "Oh my dear
sweet Ava" my voice cracks with emotion. I haven't been in this pain and turmoil since I carried
her and gave birth to her nineteen ongoing twenty years ago.
Time Period: The Next Day-Lunch time
Avalon's p.o.v
Drew and Francis invited Mom, Solomon and me over to their house for lunchtime. While the adults
are talking and finishing their meals, I supervise Dizzy and Solomon play catch with Lucifer in the
backyard. Anastasia is like a flash of lightning, present one moment and then gone the next. I
can barely keep up with her. Anyhow, Lucifer decides to break loose. He sends me on a wild goose
chase through the woods. "Leave Lucifer alone for great danger is on the horizon" my conscience
warns me. I don't know if I am brave or dumb for ignoring my conscience. Lucifer climbs up a
tall wooden tree. "Please come down and let me take you home" I beg him. His creepy stare
and grin gives me a goosebumps. Lucifer's alter ego, The Cheshire Cat, tries to manipulate me.
The Evil Queen abruptly interrupts our fight. She drags me deeper into the woods, perhaps to my
death.
Avalon's p.o.v continued
The Evil Queen's strong grip makes it hard for me to escape. "You are going nowhere. You are mine
now and forever" she yells at me. "You look like my mom, but you are not her. Let Me Go" I demand.
"Shut Up or I will kill you before he gets his hands on you" she threatens me. "Who is he? Why does
he want to hurt me?" I question her. She slaps me and my tears mean nothing to her. "Never mess
with The Evil Queen" she reinforces. She takes me to Dr. Facilier's secret hideout place. "Hello,
Avalon" Dr. Facilier greets me. He covers my mouth with tape so I wil not scream. Dr. Facilier and
The Evil Queen tie my arms and legs to a pole. I fear I am going to be burn at the stake like Joan of
Arc.
Scene 2: Storybrooke-The Woods
Rumple's p.o.v
I can hear Regina and her crew arguing with The Cheshire Cat aka Lucifer in the distance. My
presence restores order and peace. I am the only one that The Cheshire Cat actually helps.
The cat shows us the direction in which Dr. Facilier's secret hideout place is located.
Regina embraces me as a way to express her gratitude. We almost kiss each other.
We enter Dr. Facilier's fortress prepared for a bloodbath. "She is almost roasted
chicken" Dr. Facilier implies in reference to my daughter. This statement sets off
something within me. He is in store for a brutal rude awakening.
Regina's p.o.v
We kept on throwing punches until he shot my heart. By my heart, I mean my daughter Avalon.
He had burned her at the stake as a form of entertainment. She was barely unrecognizable. I
caught her before she could sink deeper into the flames. I cradled her dying body. He laughed
at my pain and sorrow. "You are an evil son of a bitch" I cursed Dr. Facilier. He tossed Avalon's
torn and worn-out voodoo doll at my feet. Then he and The Evil Queen retreated to the shadows.
Time Period: The Present Reality- Avalon's dream (comatose mind)
Avalon's p.o.v
We might fall again, much harder perhaps.
