SwanQueen one-shots

An untold story

Have you heard of Queen Regina? Of course you haven't.
Have you heard of the Evil Queen? Yes you have but that's not her.
This is her story and I'll be more than happy to tell you how Queen Regina got her name the Evil Queen and why only few that know of her refuse to talk about her.

Some time ago Regina was about fourteen when her mother Queen Cora told her that she must grow up and act like the future queen.
"But mother I don't want to be queen!" Regina complained as she sat down on the plush chair next to her mothers desk.
"You will and shall. Now go get ready you are to be at the ball on time for once." She nodded sadly before walking to her chambers. Regina hated being royal some days. She was expected to do and be things she had do desire or want.
She once snuck out dressed in rags and visited the village that was close by. She loved how everyone was kind and willing to be her friend until she had to return and never was able to get out again because a maid had reported it so now every evening and early mourning there is a guard stationed on her balcony.
She opened her door enough for her to slip in before having to sit it behind her to make sure the maids didn't just walk in after her.

That night Regina danced with many boys. Some younger and some older. Some nasty and some she didn't mind.
Non of them stood out to her so she danced with anyone that offered. Talked with them giggled if their joke was worth it.
But Regina didn't find them to be what she was looking for in a partner.
This went on for many years. Till her seventeenth birthday party.
She was wearing a baby blue dress with her hair lightly curled. She loved the dress she was wearing.
"Regina I want you to meet Queen Snow and King David. And these are their children. Prince Killian and Princess Emma." She held her hand to Killian and let him kiss her hand.
The brunette looked at Emma to see her wearing a red dress and her blonde hair up in a bun. Her emerald eyes reminded her of some one.
"Would you care to dance Princess Regina?" Regina looked back at her mother and excepted his hand as the music started.
"Tell me about yourself Killian." The princess said getting in tune with the best.
"Well I am eighteen. My sister Emma is nineteen. I love the seas and wish to one day sail them." She nodded and smiled.
"What kingdom did you come from?" Regina asked trying to take her mind off the blonde that was watching intensely.
"We come from the White Kingdom about four days ride from here." She took a deep breath.
"That is interesting I've never been there." Killian smiled and bowed as the song to the ended.
"Then you shall visit in the near future I hope?" He straightened his posture.
"Maybe." Regina walked over to the punch table being followed by the rapscallion.
"Happy Birthday by the way." She gave small smile before pouring herself a cup.
"Thank you." They talked for a moment before Prince Robin walked over.
"Excuse me milady but would you care to dance?" Regina was glad for the intervention.

When everyone was enjoying a piece of the birthday cake Regina was sitting at her place at the table.
"Happy birthday Regina." She looked to her left to see the blonde holding a small box.
"Thank you." She replied.
"I would like you to open this not in front of people. But I want to see your face when you do." The blonde smiled shyly making Regina smile mischievously.
"Alright. Fallow me then." Regina placed her fork down and qued her mother of her departure.

They walked down to Regina's room and entered closing the door behind them.
Emma turned the oil lamp up higher.
"No need dear." Regina concentrated and let her body flow. A moment later all the lamps or torches were lit.
"Whoa how did you do that?" Emma asked amazed.
"Magic." She shrugged. "Okay let's see it." She held her hand up as Emma placed the box in it. She went to work undoing the bow before she lifted the lid and furrowed her brows.
"It's called the heart of the sea." The blonde reached inside and pulled the stone out showing that it was about the size of her palm. "It's said to bring good fortune and can cure anything. It's a form of magic that sailors have been looking for, for years. I want you to keep it." That's when Regina noticed just how close her new blonde friend was. She took the stone and placed it back in the box and on her vanity.
"Thank you not many people got me gifts so meaning full." Their faces neared the others as their heart beats went faster.
Regina could feel Emma's breath on her face and kept glancing at her lips. Neither knew who closed the gap but they shared a short sweet kiss.
