This is the sequel from my first story called 'What Could Have Happened'. Regina decided to save Emma by taking the darkness into herself. That one sacrifice didn't come easy, the price was one that none expected. Or maybe, she did.

Spoiler of season-finale for those of you who haven't seen it. What if the Charmings and Hook had stopped Emma from reaching Regina? What if Regina became the Dark One?

The sequel to "Broken", Regina has finally come to accept the Evil Queen and has to deal with all the obstacles that come with that. Disclaimer, I own none of the Once Upon A Time characters, rights go to the creators and producers!

With the Evil Queen's returning threats, how will Regina handle these as a newly redeemed hero? Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters except for the ones I have created and written in.
