Once Upon a Time- Regina's daughter: Part 2

Mallory

Amber hasn't come back yet, and I'm getting really worried. I've tried calling Regina to see if she's there, but she hasn't answered. I decide to go out and look for her. I first go to Regina's house. From about 100 ft away I hear screaming coming from inside. That's not Amber's scream. Having caused it so many times myself, I know it well.

I think about how stereotypical I am. "Evil" stepmother, locking up her daughter, making her a servant. I think about how not stereotypical Amber is. She's been through so much, yet she continues to sacrifice herself for those she loves.

I walk so long I reach the woods. I debate whether or not to go in. If I do, I might get lost. But there's always the possibility that Amber's in there, so I go in.

I'm pretty deep now, and I wonder if I should go back. And that's when I hear a soft moan. I run towards the sound. "Belle," I say, "what happened?"

"She's dead. Amber's dead. But there's a way to save her. I slipped a potion into her food. Basically, she can be brought back with true love's kiss."
