NIGHT 1

Angie was escorted to Regina's room in her castle by two guards. As they walked in, Angie saw her reflection on Regina's mirror and noticed that Rumpelstiltskin's spell was still hiding her true face

"Kneel before the Queen" one of the guards said, pushing Angie down to her knees

"The bandit Snow White. Where is she?" Regina asked

"I already told your guards, your Majesty, I have no idea" Angie replied politely

"I don't know what kingdom you come from, Princess Lucy" Regina said "But here, the price for aiding Snow White is steep"

"As I said before, I don't know where Snow White is, but I'd like to know as much as you" Angie said

Regina leaned down a little and sniffed "You're no princess. I know a dirty street rat when I see one and I know not to trust such creatures" she said before addressing the guards "The dungeon"

The guards took Angie away, and after making her change clothes, they took her to the dungeon

"Are you alright?" the woman in the cell next to Angie's asked her when the guard left them alone

"Yeah, I think so. Thanks. I'm Lucy" Angie introduced herself

"I wish I could say it was nice to meet you" the woman replied

"Yeah, but under the circumstances, I get it" said Angie "What's your name?"

"I dare not speak in here" the woman said, looking around "The Queen doesn't know who I am. My silence is the only thing keeping my family safe"

"She's pretty ruthless, huh?" Angie said "Here, are you hungry?" she offered the woman some bread through the bars "I swiped it of a food tray on my way down"

The woman stood and walked over to grab it, allowing Angie to recognize her

"What? What is it?" she asked when she saw the surprised look on Angie's face

"I saw you in the village. With the Queen" Angie explained "I wanted to help but..."

"It's alright" the woman said "If you had tried to free me you'd just ended up in here a day sooner"

"What did she put you in here for?" Angie wondered

"I knew where Snow White was hiding. But I refused to tell the Queen"

Angie knew her mother meant a lot to many people, but she hadn't imagined this much "You gave up your freedom to ensure Snow White's?"

The woman nodded "Yes. I believe her to be innocent"

Angie decided to change the conversation topic "How long are you in for?"

"Same as you. Just one more night"

The other woman's answer surprised Angie again "Really? One night? Why?"

"Because tomorrow everyone in here is to be executed"


DAY 2

Snow White was walking out of her hideout, wondering how she was going to get away from the Queen now that she had lost her ticked out: Prince James' ring. She only made it a few steps out when she got trapped in a net

Prince James came out from behind a tree, laughing

"I told you I'd found you" he told Snow White "No matter what you do, I will always find you"

"Is this the only way you can catch a woman?" Snow White asked him "By entrapping her?"

"It's the only way to catch thieving scum" he replied
