        it was unintentional. a strategic move on her part but it had quickly become something more. something, to the queen's surprise, not at all one-sided. for she had been alone for so long, with only company that was chosen for her rather than by her. is this what friendship was like? true, genuine friendship?

             she'd offered red safe passage. to leave regina's side and rejoin her grandmother's. oh, she knew what a toll a life with regina had taken. blood had been spilled, most by the queen, and she had long ago become accustomed to such horrors but red.... red had not. and regina had done what she had said she'd never do.

                                                 she'd let red go.

            for with every day spent in each others company, regina's resolve was weakening. her determination to see things through, alone, had begun to fade. she'd come to rely upon the young wolf as a shoulder to cry on, despite assuring herself that no tears would spill. oh, she was still a monster. still full of hate and heartache, still thirsty for blood but a part of her had taken solace in the company red provided. and that, alone, was dangerous.

                     they were friends now. it was a strange concept to understand but they were, well and truly, friends. upon the realisation, regina had spent a good sun's rising throwing what ever she could wrap slender fingers around, had broken one mirror and near broken the genie's. she's couldn't afford a friendship. the very idea was laughable, and worrying. for caring for anyone ensured a weakness the queen couldn't allow, not with so many how many enemies she had made, how many call for her head upon a spike.

                 she had stolen red from snow. regina won't let red be stolen from her.

         but happiness was something that regina coveted. it was something that she craved and sought and she could tell that, despite protests otherwise, red was not happy here. could the queen blame her? she may not have chained the girl to the castle walls, or put bars upon her doors -- but it was a prison nonetheless, one that regina herself was trapped within. the woods were freely roamed, but freely was a term used loosely when guards were to accompany. for red's protection, she'd told herself. that was a lie.

                        she had lied to the wolf's face for the truth was something the queen herself was not ready to admit... she was scared. terrified, of red leaving without warning, without conversation. regina had come to depend upon the girl, had opened up to her in a way she'd not done with anyone else. not even her father. she had told red about daniel, about their plans about their dreams about his death and about her auction. that's what it had felt like. a sale. she'd been handed over to a man thrice her age, with a child but eight years younger than herself and what others had seen has a privilege had felt like nothing but a sentence. regina had confided in the she-wolf and upon realising it, had felt fear grasp her heart in a vice-like grip. daniel had left her. her mother had left her. in a way, snow white had left her too. all she had was her father, but he'd never truly been there to start with.

      realisation struck then, as words slipped from red's lips. 'I'm not the same person anymore. I've changed. I can't go back, I won't. I felt different there, like I didn't belong. And-and I look at you, and I... and I'm home.' red is more than just a mere friend. she'd become something regina had never really had before.

                                              red became family.
