 "In two days, you'll be married. You'll be Queen. And everything will be as it should." Cora said, trying to persuade her daughter not to run away, not that Regina could anyway. She was truly stuck here in her mother's grasp and in just two days she'd be stuck at the King's side, practically imprisoned in his castle.
"Mamá.. I don't love the King. I don't want to marry him. I don't want to be a mother to Snow White. I don't want to be Queen. I just... all I want is my freedom. All my life, everything has been done for you. For what you want for me. And it's my life." Regina said. She watched in shock and disgust as Cora only laughed at her very heart-felt, true feelings.
"Silly girl. It's MY life. And you are going to do just as I say." Cora said. Frowning Regina glanced around. How had she gotten this far? Out of the castle, past the guards. Cora had wanted Regina to be distracted. An escape attempt was a distraction. But a distraction from what?
Looking back to her mother Regina spoke. "Where is Daddy?" She asked first. Cora only smiled "at the castle. He is fine.. for now." She said calmly. Regina's mind then shifted from her father to her brother. "Reagan.. where is he?" Regina asked, her voice trembling with concern and fear for her twin brother's safety.
"Reagan? My dear.. you are going to forget all about him. He isn't important anymore. Serves no purpose." Before Regina could protest in an outage Cora waved her hand and Regina fell to the ground. Kneeling above her daughter Cora removed memories, memories of ever having a brother much less a twin brother. She had already done the same to Henry, to anyone who had ever known of Reagan's existence.
Within moments Regina woke and with a terrible headache. Seeing Cora above her she quickly sat up though winced. "What happened?" She asked as Cora gently helped Regina to her feet. "You were riding that beast of yours.. and you fell. Oh, Regina.. you could have been hurt worse than just a bump on the head. This is why the King and I have told you to remain in the castle. We just want you safe."
Reluctantly Regina went with Cora back to the castle. In two days time, Regina would marry King Leopold, king of the Enchanted Forest and realms. She'd be his Queen and Cora would finally have what she always wanted for Regina.
