Dance macabre, Op. 40
As the dust settled around what was downtown Storybrooke there was an eerie silence. Emma Swan looked around, her family looked safe, mother and father seemed to be unharmed, the two lovers had a few scratches here and there but nothing serious, Regina looked battered and tired but held their son Henry in her arms and then there was what looked to be Rumpelstiltskin and the Blue Fairy in front of her practicing some kind of magic, it looked like a barrier but she couldn't tell. All she could see of them was cuts, some looking nastier than the others but they were closer to the epicenter than she was.
Walking closer towards where the two great powers of magic stood she released a sigh of relief as she saw the body of Peter Pan, the strange teenager who nearly killed her son. He was dead and her family safe, Storybrooke was safe and so was its residents, it was true there needed to be sacrifices to win wars and she would not be guilty if that meant that her son and her family was safe.
The Dark One and Blue Fairy began to slowly relieve the barrier they had put up only minutes before, it had to be slow or else it would kill her. The former Mother Superior could tell it was becoming harder on her companion, she could feel his anger and his hatred running through the magic and even though she herself remained calm her magic was filled with sadness. Finally as the barrier was fully taken away, Rumpelstiltskin moved bring her head into his lap as he checked for a pulse, there was one she was alive.
"Do you feel that?" the Blue Fairy asked.
All the Dark One did was nod, he felt it, Belle's body was being protected by a barrier that was not of their own, it was something else, somehow she had managed to put a barrier up to protect herself from Pan. He wasn't sure if the barrier was created on it's own and intensified with the help of the two creatures of magic, he was just grateful for Regina's honesty of what the Royal Family did to protect themselves by using someone to destroy and could have destroyed herself in the process.
What seemed like hours, which was only, really minutes between the two as they looked over the beauty, Victor ran over as he bypassed others injured yelling at nurses to look at those people. Nearly skidding into the ground he moved between Blue Fairy and the Dark One looking over Belle in her current state.
"Doctor, she," the Blue Fairy started to speak but couldn't.
"She's in some kind of sleep state, I need to get her to the hospital.
The Doctor demanded, he knew that Mr. Gold was deny that right to him and understood why but he needed to get Belle there to insure proper health, to make sure they were okay.
"I know you don't want her there, Rumpelstiltskin but I need to get her there."
The Imp merely nodded and stood up as two medics came running after being signaled by Dr. Whale. He followed them as they carefully put her in the ambulance.
