Mara's Point Of View:

I open my eyes to see a pale raven haired woman, talking to Red. My curiosity is answered, yes that is in fact Snow White. Why the hell is she so close to Regina's castle anyway? Doesn't she have a palace with her husband Prince Charming? Red glances at me. "Well good morning Princess." She says pouring three bowls of soup. Snow smiles softly and keeps her hands on her growing belly. I..Is she pregnant? "How long have I been asleep?" I sit up and look at Red.

"Not that long" She hands me my soup. "an hour or so. Just in time for my cruddy soup" Snow chuckles. "Oh Red your cooking isn't that bad." She states and takes a bite. "Oh really?" She snorts. "There's a reason I don't work with food." I take a bite and swallow the disgusting liquid, and look at Snow. "So your Snow White?" I ask as I lick my spoon clean. She nods. "I've heard a lot about you." She smiles, and reaches for my hand to shake but I pull away. She still keeps that smile on her face, as she brings her pale hands back to her baby bump belly. "And who are you?" She asks as she takes another bite.

"I'm Mara." I say short and simple. Still she smiles. "Well Mara, what are you doing so close to the Queens castle in such a state? It can be extremely dangerous you know, especially all cut up like that." I laugh at that idiotic comment. "Says the woman the Queens Hell bent on killing." I put my soup down and slowly stand. I feel more capable of walking now that Red wrapped my ankle; but all the cuts still burn, and I'm still sore. Red quickly puts an arm around my waist and guides me back down. "Woah! Your ankles still very swollen. At least let me rewrap your thigh bandage, and give you a walking stick before you go to your castle, Princess." She says with a smile, as she unwraps my thigh. She's so annoying. "I'm not a Princess." I say with a scowl. "Oh that's right. your the Queens Gardener. Sorry my mistake Princess." She chuckles.  I role my eyes

"So, you work for the Queen?" Snow asks. I nod my head. "I'm sure that's awful." I grind my teeth. No body slanders Regina but me! "It's not." I lock my eyes with the ignorant woman. "She's one of the nicest people I know!" Snow furrows her brow. "Is she the one who gave you that?" She gestures to my riding outfit.  I cringe as Red rewraps my thigh. "It.. she was done with it, so I asked her if I could have it." She nods. "That was her favorite riding out fit. Daniel loved seeing her in it." He did? My heart keeps warming for the Queen. She gave me such precious clothes. Clothing that meant so much to her. "It's the outfit she wore when I first met her. She saved me from a run away horse."

"Well yes, as I said she is a good person." She nods. "A person who's slaughtered many villages." She replies. "Well we all do things we regret." I spit. "Who are you really? Your no Gardener. Regina's always tended to her own garden. Why are you with the Queen? Did she take you?" I stand up as soon as Red is done. "So what if she did?! Its none of your Business Snow!" I huff angrily and limp to the door. Red grabs my shoulder. "Wait. Just let me give you a cane or something." She goes to a closet and starts looking for a walking stick. Snow stands.

"I'm sorry Mara, I didn't  mean to offend you she's just not a good person in my opinion is all." Red jogs to me, and hands me a cane. I nod my head to her and turn to Snow. "Well that person is very special to me, and if you think she's bad just wait till you see what I can do!" I growl, and storm out the door.
