Summary
[Set during 3x21 where Emma is caught and taken prisoner by the Black Guard.]
What was Regina's former self like?
Sure, she has heard the stories, the pain and death caused by the hands of the Evil Queen, is aware of all the darkness and burdens Regina carries around day and night, all her remorse and guilt.But, to Emma they were just that: stories, tales she never stopped assuring Regina about meant nothing anymore since she tried her best to make up for the pain she once caused.
But it's easy to forgive if you weren't the one at the receiving end of Regina's wrath, wronged or destroyed, fallen prey to this evil ruler.
Regina was just a victim herself, so she could not *really* have done unforgivable things -- or could she?
How will Emma cope if her captor is far from the woman she thought she knew, a queen still trapped inside her own twisted hell.
And what will the Evil Queen do if this blond girl defies her? Won't cooperate?Series
