The price of Love

CHAPTER I: 'Origins'

— Days went by, months went by, and soon, years went by as well, Regina was no longer a teenage girl and still not a single mist of hope, that one day she'd manage to wake up her dear Daniel from his tragic, but oh so eternal sleep.
Asking for Doctor Frankenstein's help was most certainly one of the biggest mistakes she has ever did, along with telling her precious secret to a reckless and carefree, twelve years old girl.
Anyways, that is not the point, the point is that, just like her virtue, her innocence was ripped away, when all she ever wanted was to do the right thing, all she managed to do was to make things worse, no wonder why The Dark One relied on her that much, she believe that after all, they had some very similar flaws.

[ A year before the Dark curse]

They say, 'the end justifies the means' but Regina will never forgive herself for what she had to do, sacrifice her own flesh and blood in order to satisfy a sick revenge.
Indeed, The evil queen let the pain and the feeling of powerlessness consume her heart and darken her soul. She realized that she would never be able to bring back her lover from the dead, so she held onto the last thing she had. The thirst of revenge she had towards Snow White, and Charming.
She expected that destroying their happiness, would help her to finally find a certain peace to grieve Daniel and have her 'happy ending' , but little did she know, that it was only making her sink into a vicious circle of everlasting sorrow and deception, that she was slowly getting used to.
