The magic within

What lies beyond the border

Hi guys. Sorry I haven't updated in like four months but MY EXCUSES ARE VALID!! Three of those months I worked a Christian camp where I worked ten to eleven hours every day #Ministrylife.. I also had little to no Wi-Fi, or computer usage. Then I spent eight hours in a plane going from the USA to the Netherlands to meet my beautiful girlfriend (Emina Parrison) in person!^^...  Okay so the fourth month I was just lazy -,- what can I say.. I have failed you!!! Well now that my college semester doesn't start yet, and I'm not working at the moment. Ill be posting again!

All Mara's Point of View:

I yawn and snuggle my face into the soft cushiony material; hiding from the strong evil morning rays, that are trying to wake me from my peaceful slumber. It smells nice, like apples, and cinnamon. I sigh and wrap my arms around the soft object. When I hear a soft chuckle I look up and realize the soft pillow was Regina's stomach. "D did I fall asleep on you?" I blush and look up at the Queens soft sleepy morning features. She nods, and gives me a sweet smile. I give a giggle of my own in response. Then I hear a loud rumble from the Queens stomach, and I laugh. "Was that you?" I say through a fit of laughter.

The Queen sits up and chuckles. "Yes. I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." She exaggerates. "Oh really?" I grin challengingly. "I'm so hungry I could eat an whole elephant." I smile proud. "Well dear. I could eat a troll." She giggles. "Eww. Trolls are stinky." I laugh sand jump off the bed. I stretch my rested body and sigh happily.

Regina's bedroom looks different in the morning light.  It's still very strange being here in this beautiful palace. I'm lucky to be here. This woman took me in when no one else would. I simply don't understand why people could possibly hate her. She's kind, smart, funny... Annoying. All good qualities in a person. Yes she has her angry moments but don't we all? Snow white has killed many of Regina's guards, and people think she's as innocent as a bunny. All Regina wants is revenge for Daniel's death.. So that makes her evil? Yes she killed the king, but he forced himself upon her. I know what that feels like when working at the Brothel. Some nights I cried myself to sleep. But I did what I had to do to survive. I head to the door.  Regina got up as well and started for her wardrobe. "Why don't you go get dressed Mara. I'll meet you down for breakfast." She said through a morning yawn. I nod and exit the room. 

I go down the long hall and go into my room. I go to my closet and pull out a pair of tan leather pants, and a lovely white sweater, with a light blue jacket. I smile as I look in the mirror. I like how proper it makes me look. I French braid my long curly hair, and head to the dining hall. On the way I pass a room I didn't notice before. I go up to the gold colored door and open it. In the cobwebbed filled room was a dusty large bed, a large vanity, with many portraits stacked against the walls. I go to them and look through them.

Most of them were of a young raven haired girl. my guess was snow white. Some pictures where family portraits of Snow, the king, and Regina. She looks unhappy. She smiles in each one, but her eyes look so sad. like a trapped animal. My curiosity urges me to continue looking. I go to another pile of portraits. This pile mostly consists of an old woman. Some of the frames said Cora. I see another with the title Cora, Henry and Regina. Cora and Henry must be Regina's parents.
