A/N:: thanks for all the support and reviews. updates will be a little less frequent now, unfortunately, i'm finally medically cleared to go back to work and school as of last thursday morning. being a full-time student, full-time manager, and full-time mom has maybe overpacked my plate just a little, but i still got enough updates stored up to keep us afloat for a while. now, time to unmask our hooded stranger...

SWAN QUEEN SWAN QUEEN SWAN QUEEN

The girl's name was Peyton and her beloved was going to kick Regina's ass. Or at least that was what she repeated to Regina the whole ride back to the clearing. When they got there, Regina dismounted and pulled the girl down with her. She was gorgeous, though like most eighteen year olds, she had no idea how to best accentuate her beauty. Her hair was a deep black that made her complexion seem paler than it actually was, and it tumbled down to the small of her back. Her eyes were so light of a blue that they almost appeared to be white. She was fit, but had gentle curves and hips good for child bearing. She was quite the specimen. If this were a time before the curse, Regina might have whipped her into submission and kept her. But those days were behind her and she smirked at the girl's continued defiance in the face of danger. Whoever this hooded stranger was, he was very lucky to have tamed something so beautiful.

"Why did your beloved try to murder the Princess?"

The girl crossed her arms and raised an indignant eyebrow at Regina in response.

"Don't try my patience child. I'm not someone you want to defy."

"I'm not a child; I'm twenty. I'm a woman grown. I'm to be married within a fortnight."

"Fine. Why did your beloved try to murder the Princess?" She repeated her earlier question.

Peyton narrowed her eyes at Regina, still defiant. But finally she sighed. "She wasn't supposed to be in the way! He never misses; his aim is always true. Until now. He was sent to kill an evil witch."

"Sent? By whom?"

"I don't know." She could tell from Peyton's expression that the girl wasn't lying. "There's a tree in the woods north of the village. It has a hole at its heart. He gets his orders there. I don't know who sent it."

"He's a Green Cloak." It made sense now. "Your betrothed is an assassin?"

"For good!"

Regina chuckled dryly. "Believe me dear, I've learned the hard way that doing bad things for the right reasons still counts as doing bad things and people treat you accordingly. His arrow was true that night. The Princess stepped in front of the intended target, protecting what you have referred to as an evil witch. She saw value in life, even a wicked one. What is she? Collateral damage?" Regina frowned. "It is never noble to kill someone with poison, whether you consider yourself to be on the side of good or evil.
