From The Beginning..

Chapter Three.

Regina's POV

I wake up to birds chirping outside my balcony. Then I remembered that today I was actually free! I didn't have to be stuck in this mansion with my witch of a mother anymore! I did not like thinking of my own mother like that but sadly it is what she has become with all that magic. Then I suddenly remember I will soon begin magic lessons as well...but I will never allow myself to become my mother.."I WILL NEVER TREAY MY DAUGHTER LIKE MY MOTHER TREATS ME". As I say that to myself out loud I realize I said daughter..I have never in any way thought of myself being a mother. Obviously me saying that ment that if I ever were to become a mother, I would only see Daniel as the father...to our daughter. I had never thought of Daniel's and I relationship this far because I was always worrying about my mother catching us, but I could now see us together happily living in our little cottage together with our baby...

I snapped out of my day dream and quickly realized that had to get up quick and change before my mother came in my room and began to yell at me and maybe even change her mind about my punishment.

As I was looking through my clothes to find something that would please my mother so she would think I am still going along with her plans. I end up choosing a long tiffany blue blazer, with a beige high neck line blouse, some tan pants, and riding boots. As I was was finishing my braids my mother walks in and i could see her through my mirror. She is smiling while watching at me get ready.

Cora's POV

As I walk in to Regina's bedroom, I see her finishing up her hair and realize how much she reminds me of myself when I was her age, just so innocent looking. Without noticing I begin to smile and just stare at her. I soon realize Regina has been calling several times but haven't realized it.

Regina: Good Morning mother...Mother?...Hello??

Cora: Huh..O-oh sorry sweetheart i'm sorry. I was just admiring you. And Good Morning as well, I just came to see if you were up and to let you know breakfast is going to be served shortly. I will be waiting for you downstairs at the dining table

Regina: Oh okay, I will be down shortly as soon as I am finished.

Cora: Just make sure to hurry darling, we have a lot to discuss.

Regina's POV

As my mother said that to me and walked back downstairs I already knew what she was talking about..and sadly I knew I was going to have to go along with everything she was going to be telling me at that dining room table. I suddenly preferred to go back to bed than to go downstairs and have to listen to my mother speak of her ideas and plans for me.

I decided to take my time finishing getting ready for the day, until I honestly did not have anything else to do in my bedroom. So I had no other choice than to go downstairs for breakfast.

As I was walking down the stairs I could hear my mother yelling at one of the "Servants", I've never liked or found it right the way my mother treats the people that work for us. It always saddens me the way she yells, calls, and throws things at them for the smallest reasons. So when I listen to her begin to yell I immediately quicken my pace to see what the problem is.
