Chapter One: Found

As Ariel returned back to Storybrooke, Rumplestiltskin noticed someone spying at him and the Evil Queen. He formed his hands into a choke hold as the hooded stranger flew over to them. She took off the hood when the lad pinned the anonymous to the tree. They turned her back to them. What they saw was a young girl, age of 13 or 14, with brown locks, blue eyes, and a scar on her left eye. Rumple had quickly ripped her heart out and she gasped as Regina bound her hands.


Rustling could be heard coming from the bushes as Emma and the others took out their weapons and stood their grounds. Regina emerged from the bush holding a prisoner with Mr. Gold following suit. The Savior and her group looked relieved and lowered their weapons. "Well, if this is your version of a rescue party, we got here just in time."

Snow looked at the both of them. "What are you two doing here?"

Regina's head turned to the latter. "Well, same as you, except we actually have a chance." Regina took a look at the box the Dark One was holding. "Pandora's Box. It could trap Pan simply by opening the lid."

Neal was the first to make a move and turned to Emma. "You didn't tell me my father was with her."

Emma looked at him. "I didn't know." Then Tink interrupted.

"Wait, your Father is the Dark One?"

Bae turned to his Father once more. "Yeah, and he's not getting anywhere near Henry."

"Bae..." the Dark One tried to reason.

Emma's look shifted from him to Rumple. "Why? What are you talking about?"

He began to explain it, "There's a prophecy that says that Henry will be his undoing. He didn't come here to protect him. He came here to kill him."

The Evil Queen took a step back away from Mr. Gold and turned to him. "That's why you didn't want to find Neal before you got Henry back? Because you knew he'd spill your secret."

Rumple turned to the latter. "Everything I did was to protect Henry, to rescue him from Pan."

From looking down, Emma went back to life and pointed her sword at him, eyes wide. "It all makes sense. You left before we even made shore." Snow, Charming, and the others pointed their weapons at him. "You wanted to get to Henry first."

"To be on his own," Charming continued.

"So no one could stop you..." the devilishly handsome pirate followed.

"So you can kill him."

Rumple seemed tensed. "It's not gonna happen, not unless you go through all of us first."

He finally spoke up, looking at Emma. "You're making a mistake. I don't care if the boy is destined to be my undoing." He looked at Hook. "I won't hurt him."

Regina back talked, "Because that sounds just like you."

"Without me, you will fail. I'm the most powerful amongst us."

Neal, his gaze shifted towards his father, said, "That's why we can't trust you."

"If I could give you my dagger, I would. But I can't."

"But you can give me Pandora's box. I don't have to trust you if I could stop you."

Rumple took one look at the box he was holding. "Son..." He took a deep breath and gave Neal the box.

"Look at me, you so much as lift a finger to perform magic, you're gonna spend an eternity in this box."

The girl took so much pleasure in seeing them argue. "Oh, Bae... you impress me. You've changed a lot." She turned to look at Rumplestiltskin. "But I have also noticed that our Papa never seemed to change anything. Always the one caring about power."

Neal took a look at the captive Regina was holding. "You..." His face softened as soon as he recognized the face.

"Is that the way you greet your own twin sister? After you left me for many years?" She chuckled. "Oh Baelfire, you don't know how glad I am to see to people who abandoned me."

"What happened to you, Celindra?" Neal asked, shaking his head

"What happened to me? You dare ask such a question? Papa became the Dark One, that's what happened. You and I tried to convince him to go to a Land Without Magic. We thought that he would choose his family instead of a dagger that holds the powers to become the Dark One. But we were wrong. We were so wrong, Bae. He didn't love us. He was just... a greedy coward who has no means of- of protecting us. All he wanted was power, not family. After he left us at the portal, we believed. We were taken to this island and joined the band. They... they treated us better than our own family did." Tears were building up in her eyes. "And when you escaped, when you decided to leave me... I knew. I knew that I wasn't capable of being loved. I used to think that way... until Peter told me that he will never leave. That's how I knew that my family aren't coming back. And if they ever do, I must prepare to get my revenge."

Rumple looked at her. "No... you- you're wrong. Why do you think I gave my spell to Regina, dearie? It's because I wanted to be with you and Bae."

"Liar." With a flick of her hand, the ropes binding her wrists were taken off.

"Stop." Regina held her heart. The scarred young girl stopped her attempts of escape and sat down.

A few moments later, she looked at them. "The time is near," she said with a huge smirk on her face. "You'll never get there in time." That smile turned to a menacing laugh.


Ooh, what does she mean by "The time is near"? Sorry if it's short BTW. Please review because reviews make my day! :)
