Hey, I started this fic at the beginning of February and I never finished it, but then I had to write a mystery for school and I decided to continue this one and use it for the class. It got kind of sucky near the end of the story cause I had like a complete mental brainfart XD This is definitely not the best one I've written, but I always start them and never finish them, except this one which I had to finish. So I decided to post it! Reviews are appreciated also; it feeds the muse :)

Chapter 1

Night blanketed everything around him, but the full moon was so bright it gave off an eerie glow. It was so silent; everyone was asleep at this hour. The cool night air felt good on his skin, after spending two days in the hospital. They couldn't have just released him an hour after the girl left, No they had to release him at midnight. Just to be sure. It's not like anyone cared what happened to him, they just didn't want to deal with another murder. He limped on towards the marina, ignoring the pain in his ribs. He couldn't wait to just sit on his ship, and drink a bottle of rum. At least he had that to look forward too. His plan of revenge had failed; damn Belle had gotten her memories back and was now happily talking to her beloved about finding his son. 2 days that crocodile had been in pain from losing his love, as opposed to the many years he had been without Milah. He had his revenge, but was stupid enough to think that blasted crocodile wouldn't find a way to get Belles memories back. Now all he had to show for himself were some broken ribs.

He looked up at the full moon as he walked down a lonely alley. Suddenly he heard something, footsteps? He whipped his bruised head around, expecting to see someone standing there. Your being paranoid he thought to himself and continued walking. Footsteps. He heard them; they were not just a figment of his imagination. He stopped walking and turned around. "Who's there? Show yourself!" he shouted in to the nothingness. He held up his Hook arm, forgetting that it was just a stub. He realized Emma still hadn't given his Hook back to him. "Emma, love, is that you? If you wish to see me, you don't have to sneak up on me in the middle of the night" he said flirtatiously. HOOOOW-OOOOOO! He spun around himself and spat out "what in the bloody hell was that?!" and realized, the noise was loud. It was close. He slowly, cautiously, stepped near where he heard the sound and could hear faint growling. He looked behind a dumpster and saw it. And it saw him. No one could hear him scream as it pounced.

Earlier that day…

Rumple sat outside in the waiting room of the hospital tapping his cane on the floor impatiently. "What is taking so long!" he growled. "Calm down gold, Whale just needs to make sure of a few things," Emma said calmly, and went back to reading her magazine. "I saw her last night when she got her memories back, I don't understand why I can't see her now" he said impatiently, just about to push past Emma and go in there himself. He got up out of his chair and was about to storm in there when Belle came running out of the room, huge smile plastered to her face. They ran up to each other and embraced in a hug, Belle kissing him softly. "I'm so glad you remember me!" Rumple said happily. He turned away from Belle, her arm draped around his shoulders, and looked at Emma. She put the magazine down on the table as Rumple said mildly angry "where is Hook?" Belle got a pained look on her face. Not this again! She thought. Emma stood up and said "do you really think I'd be so stupid as to let out Hook when I knew you would be here?" Rumple opened his mouth to say yes but Emma cut him off "don't answer that. Now take Belle on a magic carpet ride or whatever the hell it is that you do, but don't do anything you'll regret" Rumple got a dark smile on his face "oh no dearie, I wouldn't regret killing Hook" he said softly. Belle tugged at his shoulder, gesturing it was time to leave.

"I'll be right back!" Belle said, pecking Rumple's lips with a short kiss before she got up to leave. Rumple stared at his food, deep in thought, plotting revenge. Poor bell; Locked away in that hospital for two days, sad and alone. Hook needs to die. Belle would hate me. No one ever said not to hurt him…but how do I do it without her knowing? "But I'm worried!" ruby said loudly, interrupting Rumple's thoughts. "You'll be fine" said snow. "It's not me I'm worried about" ruby said, wiping down the counter and swinging the rag over her shoulder. "I can't believe I was so careless as to lose my cloak!" "It's going to be all right" said snow calmly. "It's not! I'm a werewolf, snow. And It's a full moon tonight, what if I hurt someone?" ruby said worriedly. Rumple leered on, listening to every word she said. "I'm back!" chimed belle, returning to her seat. Rumple stopped listening to ruby and continued on with his date, all the while pondering an evil idea that swirled around in his twisted mind.

Ruby's head throbbed. It felt as if there were a million little drummer boys inside her head, pounding, banging, to get out. She opened her eyes to find herself sleeping on the pavement and sat up. She rubbed her head "what happened last night?" she mumbled. She stopped rubbing her head and realized, her hands were covered in blood. Looking down at herself, she saw there was blood all over her clothes. "No, no, no, no, no! What did I do last night?!" She could hear the charming family close by, but couldn't see them. And that's when she turned around. There, lying next to her was the blood-spattered body of Captain Hook. Ruby let out a bloodcurdling scream. Emma, snow, and charming came running from around the corner and down the alley. Ruby, paralyzed in fright about having done this again just sat and looked on in utter horror.
