Goldilocks Comes to Town

The Savior and her Destiny

Regina:

"I'm sorry daddy..." Regina whispered as she ripped out the heart of her loving father.

He was everything to her. He was the only one who supported her vendetta against Snow White. She felt that he was the only one who truly understood her and loved her. That's why she had to sacrifice him.

In order for the curse to work, the queen must acquire a heart of the thing she loves most. That person was her father. It seems selfish; to sacrifice your family to get revenge, but Regina needed this. His death will be worth the sweet revenge she will get out of this. She just knew it.

For the first time in forever, tears of sadness streamed down the queen's face as the put the heart in the box of ingredients.

"Go fetch Goldilocks for me," Regina told her guards in a monotone voice.

A couple minutes went by as she tried to look presentable and not like she just cried. Then Margaret came into view.

"You called for me?" Margaret questioned.

"Yes," Regina started to say. "It's time."

Margaret knew exactly what she meant and helped Regina with the ingredients. This is it. The curse that was going to change everything.

Margaret:

Margaret gathered everything on the list and all that was left was a heart. Regina said she already had the heart and reassured Margaret that this was all going to be worth it.

On the day the curse was going to be unleashed, Regina seemed happier than Margaret had ever seen her. When Regina was putting in her ingredients, Margaret told her that she wanted one more thing to be brought with them into this new land without magic. Regina said to get it quickly.

Margret rode a horse all the way to Rumplestiltskin's cell and said to him, "I need your help."

"You need my help now, when our land is about to disappear?" Rumpelstiltskin asked sarcastically.

"There is no time for jokes. I need you to make a book,"

"Whatever do you mean?" Rumpelstiltskin smiled.

"A book with our stories, the book where the Savior could know who she is," Margaret told Rumpelstiltskin. "You know of her, correct? You've seen her in the future, I know you have."

Rumpelstiltskin smiled a smile that told Margaret he knew exactly what she was talking about. Then, turned around. He took a stone from the wall and pulled it out. He took a book that said "Once Upon A Time" on it. He handed it to Margaret, but when Margaret reached for it he said "Ah, ah, ah! All magic comes with a price," Rumpelstiltskin smiled.

"What do you want?" Margaret asked.

"Hmmmmm... I want Regina to make me the keeper of all the things being brought over to this new land," He said.

"That's it?" Margaret asked confused. Rumpelstiltskin nodded.

"Alright," Margaret shook her head.

As she turned to leave, Rumplestiltskin asked a question that made Margaret stop in her tracks. "Why do you want to stop this, dearie?"

She thought about her reason. Truthfully, she hadn't thought of a reason. She just felt as if she needed to. Then she realized.

"I see thousand of different outcomes. There's one where she wins. Everyone forgets and lives their lives, but she's cursed with having to remember everything. She becomes more empty inside because she doesn't have anyone to talk to. And, her plan doesn't really work because SNow White is still happy and joyus.

"Another outcome is that she gets stopped right now. EVerything ends. She's still sad and she gets arrested for endangering the land.

"You see, almost all of them involve Regina alone, empty and sad. Except this one," Margaret says, while holding up the book. "Even though the curse is broken by the Saviour and Regina loses, she eventually becomes good. She eventually has more family than she knows what to do with. She's happy and loses her whole vendetta.

Margaret walked toward the prison bars to where Rumpelstiltskin was standing. She continued by saying, "You know she's my mother. I see you telling her that I'm her daughter in my head. Now, what kind of daughter would I be if I didn't give her her best chance?"

Margaret turned around and went back to her horse with the book in hand. Then, rode the horse back to Regina and gave her the book.

"What is this?" Regina asked.

"It's a book. It was my mother's," Margaret lied.

"Okay," Regina said. Luckily she didn't open it.

Margaret told her what Rumpelstiltskin wanted and Regina agreed. Then Regina cast a greenish fog over the Enchanted Forest and the land became infested. Then everything became blank.
