Chapter 1

The Attack Of The Snow Monster

Regina left the diner abruptly and Emma followed her out "Regina".

"Not now" Regina replied.

Emma carried on anyway "I'm sorry, I had no idea who she was, I just saw this poor woman and I wanted to help her. I didn't intend to cause you pain".

Tally came out and asked "mommy what's wrong, who's that woman inside".

Emma said "turns out she's Maid Marian".

Tally asked "but isn't Robin with Regina now"?

Regina said "was, not anymore, I'm always the villain, even when I'm not and like Gold said villains don't get happy endings".

Tally said "but you and Grandpa Gold aren't villains anymore and he and Belle just got married".

Regina said "how nice for him but it seems fate isn't planning on being as kind to me. First it gives me a shot a true love again and lets your mommy go to the past so she can bring back his dead wife"

Emma said "I said sorry for bringing her here, but I'm not going to apologize for saving someone's life".

"Well, maybe she was deserved to die".

"Well you would know, I saved her from you".

"That was the person I was not the person I am. I worked very hard to build a future, a future that's now gone, thanks to you".

"You don't know that".

"I know it's complicated enough that his dead wife is back".

At that moment Robin came out the door with Marian and Roland "just meet her, she's not at all how you think" Robin went up to Regina and said "Regina I want you to meet Marian, I was thinking we should talk".

He was being discreet but Marian still saw what was going on "wait, were you two, are you two together"? Before Robin could explain properly she ranted "you and the Evil Queen, did you let her near my son? Do you have any idea what she's done, the terror she's inflicted".

Mary-Margaret and David came out, Mary-Margaret asked "is everything okay"?

David commented "no one's been incinerated yet so that's a good sign".

Mary-Margaret asked "Regina is everything okay"?

Marian turned to see her "you're Snow White, why are you talking to her, she wants to kill you".

As Killian, Neal and Henry came out Mary-Margaret replied "in the past, but now we've settled our differences and made peace".

Marian asked "how can you make a peace with someone like her, don't you know who she is"?

Neal said "well you don't, you know who she was, but not who she is now".

Marian yelled "yes I do, she's a monster".

Henry asked "Mom, are you okay"?

Regina seemed to be boiling and rather than retaliate and prove Marian right she walked away. Emma was going to go after her but Killian pulled her back. Tally looked at Marian with Roland in her arms and could have sworn she saw a hint of a smile.

The next day as the Swan-Cassidy family walked down the street with David, Mary-Margaret and baby Neal Emma tried to call Regina. After the seventh time of her calls going to voice mail Henry asked "she's still not answering any of your calls".

"Sorry kid" Emma answered "looks like Regina does not want to be disturbed,...But that doesn't mean she's doing anything evil".

"That woman was mean" Tally said determinedly.

Emma said "we know Regina can be mean but..."

Tally replied "not Regina, she's turning good. That other woman was mean, she called Regina a monster".

Neal interjected "it's also hard for Robin. He's torn between the woman he vowed eternal love to and the woman who has recently found her way into his heart. He went to see Regina earlier to tell her he still loves her but as a man of honour he must honour his vow".

Tally asked "what's a vow"?

Neal answered "it's a promise that should last forever".

Henry said "let me try calling her, maybe it's you she doesn't want to hear from".

Emma said "you may have a point"

Neal added "if Regina will talk to anyone it will be you, you are her favourite person Henry".

David went to talk with Henry and Neal while Emma and Tally walked up to Mary-Margaret who said "I hope for his sake she doesn't give into what she usually gives into"?

Tally mentioned "she walked away last night and didn't hurt that woman".

Mary-Margaret replied "that's right, that's a good sign and shows she trying to be better which is as good as being better. You're a very wise little girl".

Hook came up and said "Emma, the mausoleum's clear, Regina's not hiding there".

"Thanks" Emma said.

Leroy then came running up with Walter yelling "we're under attack".

The men came over as Emma asked "okay Leroy what happened"?

Leroy answered "we were just driving home when we got blasted with magic. The whole van's iced over, we woke up in a meat locker. Who has that kind of magic"?

Emma saw a trail of ice and said "perhaps the same person who made that".

Emma, Hook and Neal rushed and followed the ice trail to a warehouse. A flurry of snow appeared out of nowhere inside the warehouse and created a snow monster.

Hook commented "well that's new".

Neal asked "what is it"?

Hook asked "how should I know"?

Emma put her gun away and said "we don't want to pick a fight"

Neal muttered "Emma, are you sure that's a good idea"?

Emma answered "we should at least see what it wants first".

The Snow monster roared knocking them over, they got up and ran out of the warehouse with the snow monster following them.

When Leroy saw it he yelled "EVIL SNOWMAN, RUN" causing a panic.

Neal ducked to the side to his children for a moment "Henry, Sugar Plum..."

Henry asked "you want us to stay here with Mary-Margaret"?

Neal answered "you got it kid, your mom and I will be right back". Neal followed Emma, David and Hook who were following the Snow monster into the forest. They had to reach everyone living in the forest and get them out of the snow monsters path.

They reached Robin Hood's camp before the Snow Monster Robin asked "what's wrong"?

David answered "some sort of monster".

Neal added "made out of snow".

Robin replied "no monster will cross our path".

Suddenly they heard the snow monster approaching Hook yelled "it's coming from the North.

When the Snow Monster came into view Little John grabbed a crossbow and fired it as Emma tried to warn him not to.

Hook mentioned "he only attacks when he feels threatened".

"Our best plan was to get everyone out of his way" Neal mentioned. "This creature is too strong for any one of us to take down".

David said "no, maybe Emma can".

"Me"? asked Emma.

Hook said "yes, with your magic".

Emma prepared herself and shot a blast of magic at the Snow Monster which only made him angrier and produced ice spikes on his shoulders. He threw Emma out of the way knocking her out and with a frosty breath all the men were too. Only Marian was left, in an effort to protect herself she got a bow and arrow. When the Snow Monster saw it he swotted it out of her hands and Marian at the same time.

The noise the Snow Monster made had attracted Regina. She walked out and stood between the Snow Monster and Marian. When she saw who the Snow Monster's prey was she was faced with a conundrum. She wanted Marian dead but was faced with the problem that if Marian turned up dead everyone would suspect her. Now here she was, a Snow Monster was about to kill Marian, she could just stand back and let it happen with everyone knowing it was the Snow Monster and she would be guiltless in Robin's eyes. But she had worked so hard to become a new person, a person who did the right thing, and to let someone die when you could prevent it was the wrong thing. She looked over at Marian, "please help me, please" she begged. Regina disappeared appearing to allow the Snow Monster to kill her. He was about to step on her when he shattered and Marian saw Regina was behind him. "You saved me" Marian said surprised.

Everyone started coming to after Robin made sure Marian was alright she said to Regina "maybe I was wrong, maybe you're not a monster".

Regina replied "I can live with maybe, welcome to Storybrooke Marian".

Happy 2018 everyone, lets try and make this a good year
