“My mother tried to kill you,” she said. “But she is dead…I have spent so many years without you and without her. But now you’ve returned to me. Fear not, my love, I will not let anyone or anything come between us again.” 

♞ @madammayorregina​

He could see the happiness in her eyes. They were practically glowing. There was also some excitement in her voice. He could tell the woman was more than happy to see him. “Um...” Things were hard to process. Clearing his throat, he looked up at her. “Y-your mother? Aren’t parents supposed to wish the best for their children? Unless...” He wasn’t sure what kind of man he was before the loss of his memory. “Was I good to you?” It was a legitimate question.

“I was your fiancee, Daniel. We were engaged to be married,” she said. “They…were trying to kill you because they wanted me to marry someone else, not you. But it’s okay, my dear. I’m here with you - you’re okay. We’ll be okay.” 

♞ @madammayorregina

Fiencee. Engaged. The words repeated themselves in his mind while Daniel was trying to wrap his mind around the new information. Swallowing he closed his eyes at the sharp pain that ran through his skull. After it was gone he was able to look straight in her eyes. “So, um... We were to marry but your parents didn’t approve of me so.. who tried to kill me?”

"That is—ugh. I’ll have to think about what that is." 

"You need to run." 

"This day started bad, and it does not appear to be getting better any time soon." 

"You can guess what happened, I think." 

"I know that there is more coming, as always. This is what I know."

"You know, it would upset me if it weren’t just who you are."

"Denying that you are guilty is a major sign of guilt." 

"Ask me what?"

"I wish I did not know." 

"You know, I don’t want to talk about it just yet."

"These days, the world seems to never be ending for some and not others." 

"The world is a worse place now than it ever was before, but far better than it ever will be again." 

"The past is always better than the present. And the future is the worst of all." 

"I extend my deepest sympathies. Not that my sympathies will do you any good." 

"Have you ever remembered a life you did not lead?" 

"It was a better day earlier. Back when I hadn’t heard that story." 

"This present, this now, is no good. No good at all!”

Regina frowned. “Someone…tried to kill you to keep you away from me,” she said softly. “But don’t be afraid, we’re together now. Nothing can stop us. You’re okay. I’ll protect you.”

♞ @madammayorregina 

We? Why there is a we in her mind? She did knew something he didn’t and wasn’t telling. Why was she hiding the reason? Something was off for Daniel even though she seemed like she is not lying. “Who are you to me and why they are trying to kill me?” He wasn’t bad person or at least it was what he remembered.

          She just couldn’t help but be amazed how out of everyone she had in her life, David was the only one who seemed to look at her, and see her for who she was. He didn’t want to hurt her, he didn’t want to change her, he simply loved her for her and that was the most precious thing she had, he was the most precious thing she had.

          Regina smoothed out her clothes as she sat down, head tilting and a smile growing on her lips as she looked over at him. Even then, when she was talking about how later on, they’d have to go back to playing their roles. Him the stable boy, and her, better than him, he was so kind and understanding about it, not for one moment did he ever seem bitter.

          “You know… Unlike my mother, who seems to want me to have everything and more, I’d be happy with just you. I don’t need anything else.”

♞ @herocsandvillains

Daniel crossed his legs and opened the basket offering her strawberries and apples. “I am sure you would like to have luxury in your life. You are accustom to that and life as poor person is not suiting you. You deserve way more than that.”

“She is not right to control you in that way but at least you have things you love.”

❝Mother, she–❞ Regina’s words were cut off with a sob as she looked up at her love’s face. Really, she didn’t have to explain the exact circumstances as to what had made her so upset: the word mother should be more than enough. Cora was a constant terror in Regina’s life and the source of most of her pain. Instead of elaborating on what she was originally going to say, Regina merely shook her head and buried her face back into Daniel’s shoulder as if the action alone comforted her. ❝Why is she so cruel…?❞

♞ @regalisqueen

He wished he could say anything to make it all go away or to actually reply to her question. But his mind could fit the idea why a mother could be this cruel to her only child. He could never grasp that concept. “I wish I knew, my love.” Daniel kissed the top of her head and ran a hand over her hair and then her back. “I wish I know...” He repeated, barely a whisper. If they could only be somewhere else. “Why don’t we go for a ride? Hm?”

Regina commanded the nurse leave them alone. “I know him. I claim him,” the mayor said. She sat on the edge of the bed. “I don’t expect you to remember me.” She smiled sadly a him. “I think you have amnesia and I only just…now…realized you survived the…accident.” It was too hard to explain now that she thought Cora had killed him - he had died in her arms years ago, hadn’t he? By some miracle or some magic he was here again, alive. Accident was a good enough term for now. “I know you because we were engaged, Daniel.” 

♞ @madammayorregina

The voice of this woman was soft like velvet and he wanted to hear it more and more. Daniel? His name was Daniel and he was engaged to her? Nothing came out of that explanation. “Why… Um… What kind of accident?”

@danielgarciocolter || starter

❝Daniel!❞ Regina cried as she ran into the stables, tears streaming down her pretty young face. Mother had been so cruel! She had berated the girl for her “piggish” eating habits and compared her to the local hogs. No matter what Regina seemed to do, she was never good enough for mother. When Regina was upset, she always ran straight to her love. He listened to her and comforted her, and disliked her mother almost as much as she did, and actually supported her unlike daddy who was too weak-willed to stand up to the abusive woman even behind her back.

♞ @regalisqueen

He was quick to detach himself from the horse and wrap his hands around her. Her voice sounded like something bad happened, so Daniel was careful not to squeeze her too tight.  “What happened, love?” He asked, while detaching his upper part of his body so he could see her face, wet from tears. It broke Daniel’s heart to see her like this and he wished he could do more.

          There’s a warm chuckle that leaves her as her gaze stays fixed up on his. Even though both of them knew that they couldn’t stay together all night, that tomorrow he’d be back to being the stable boy and she’d have to pretend that that was all he was, right now, they were able to be what they wanted. A couple, in love, happy. And it did make her happy, just being here with him. Not living up to her mother’s expectations that only served to make her miserable.

           “Eat fruit, talk, just spend time with you. That’s all I want.” There’s another smile to pull at her lips, one that seemed to be saved for only him, and she raised up onto her toes so that she could press another kiss to his lips. “I just wish that we had more time than we always do.” Her words were but a murmur, soft.

          The times like these, she lives for them. A chance to be truly happy and be who she really wanted to be, but she always felt so awful when the next day would roll by, and she’d have to be extremely careful about interacting with him when her mother was around. “I’m just sorry that things always go back to… You know…”

♞ @herocsandvillains

He smiled into the kiss because Regina was always so open with this. Usually she would just lean in and wait for him to connect their lips. Occasions like this, right now, were rare and Daniel cherished them. 

“Then it’s what we are going to do, my love.” Daniel smiled and pulled away from her, missing her warmth already. He motioned to the blanket he had set up for them. “How about we sit and chose the fruits?” 

“And don’t worry about that.” He said after he helped her sit down. “This is just life and as long as we have those moments I am ready to live it.”

Regina sniffed softly and lowered her head at his words. She knew what he meant. She knew her mother better than he did but she couldn’t help but hope that things would just change one day. She sniffed softly as she replied. “I know she does.  I can’t help it. I just..I just her to realize that I’m not who she thinks I am.”

[danielgarciocolter-blog]

♞ @twelvestep-reginamills

Daniel smiled and cupped her face. “You are beautiful, smart and amazing person.  If she doesn’t see it... Well, it’s her lost, Regina. Every mother should see her children for who they are.”

@danielgarciocolter

          Though admittedly, she had no idea what they were going to do, whether he’d planned anything or not, but earlier on, her and Daniel had arranged to meet later on tonight. When she was sure that her mother would be either sleeping or busy not to notice, she’d head down to the stable to find him. It was hard, it wasn’t exactly ideal, having to keep such a thing a secret. Her mother had plans of making her Queen. Finding a suitable man for her to marry, teaching her how to be powerful and proper and everything that she believed a Queen should be. The stable boy who worked for them? He would never be good enough in Cora’s eyes for her, yet despite that, for Regina, he was perfect. She loved him, more than anything and she was almost certain that it was true love, that she would never want anyone else.

          When the time came around, she headed out from the confines of the castle walls, and headed down the vast grassy field, making a beeline right for the stable. She didn’t care if her mother had bigger plans for her, she didn’t see herself as any better than Daniel, in her mind they were equal. Stepping through the stable doors, she quietly, carefully closed them behind her before turning to look into the dimly lit stable.

          “Daniel? Are you here?” A smile pulled at her lips, full of hope and happiness and excitement over what the night may hold.

@herocsandvillains

Daniel couldn’t believe any of this was happening. He and Regina were actually managing this. They came up with the time - late at night when Cora was attending her night routines, and when the stables were always empty except for the horses. The place was the stables of course because they met there for the first time plus it was large building that held many secret places. 

So this night was just like any other. Daniel had set out a blanket in one of the old stables that weren’t used, fruits in a basket. He wanted candles too but the straw wouldn’t allow it. His hands were starting to sweat and when he heard her voice, he wiped them down and welcomed her. 

“Never doubt I would.” He cupped her face and placed soft kiss on her lips. “Would you like to eat some fruits?”

It was Daniel’s voice too. Perhaps he was cursed too? Did he not remember, like the rest of the town? “You..you are. Aren’t you?” she asked. 

She nodded. “I do. Where did you find him? What have you been calling him?” It seemed as if she were in some strange dream. This wasn’t real; it couldn’t be. Daniel alive again? Could she really have found him here in this cursed town?

♞ @madammayorregina

Jane blinked few times. “Well, I don’t call him anything. Just guy sometimes.”She shrugged. 

“How do you know me, milady?” Daniel asked. This woman... There was something familiar about her but he couldn’t place it. He was way calm now and his mind was set on her only.

Regina sniffed softly at his words and she rubbed her face not wanting to start crying once again. But then his hand his cupping her chin and he was caressing her cheek. 

Gods above how she loved him. She sniffed softly. “The usual. She doesn’t think I’m trying with my lessons. She just doesn’t understand that want anything she wants for me.”

♞ @twelvestep-reginamills

Robin could see her struggle and nodded. Cora could be strong minded and once she had something on her mind it was hard to let go. “Regina, you know your mother is like that. She prefers things to be her way and every time that you defy her she starts doing this... She pushes you even further.” He wasn’t sure what else he could do.

Regina knew that there truly wasn’t any point in lying to Daniel. He knew her far too well for her to lie to him. He always knew when something was wrong with her. She sniffed softly and wiped at her face once more as she whispered. “It was mother..”

♞ He swallowed hard and nodded. Daniel could completely understand  why Regina was holding back. His desire was nothing more but to help  her deal with this. Cora was no match for him because she had magic and it would be useless to talk to her. She would never listen to a simple stable boy. But he could make Regina feel better. 

“Why don’t you tell exactly what she did?” He cupped her chin and caressed her cheek. “I am here for you. Always.”

“Daniel…I don’t care. I don’t care about any of those things. The only thing that was bearable at home was my father.

I care about love.”

Regina nodded. “I’ll follow you anywhere.” She assured him. She led Rocinante in the direction he had pointed. “I don’t think I’ve ever been out this way before. My mother always seemed very adamant that I stay away. Of course, Cora was adamant about a lot of things. I always used to think she was just extremely overprotective, but now I’m not so sure.”

♞ Daniel steered his horse Joe and the animal, who was well trained, kept the straight line. “I’ve been here and there. Not so much but it is enough to know few people.” But he kept his mouth shut at the last sentence. Cora was anything but a mother in his mind but he would never start talking badly of Regina’s mother. He was raised better. “I must warn you. I can’t give you the comfort you’ve use to in the castle. I will try my best, I could work at two places but in the beginning we would have to live... modestly.”

Regina retrieved the saddle and put it on Rocinante. “Alright, that’s done. Can you help me up?” She asked, holding out her hand for a boost. With any luck, if they were spotted out riding, it would just be seen as a riding lesson. Nothing out of the ordinary. Still, Regina would be lying if she said her heart wasn’t pounding nervously. She wouldn’t relax until they were safe.

♞ “Of course.” Daniel was quick to help her on the horse, before getting on his horse as well. “Let’s head that way.” He pointed to the direction where the White kingdom was. “We can hide there. I know the stable boy there.”
