Rumpelstiltskin`s Choice.
She had them both- in her grasp. He could feel his heart being torn in two opposite directions. Tears rolled down his cheeks, like waterfalls. Making their way down his cheekbones.
He pleaded with her, even begged her to let them go. He would give her anything; do anything- if she would put them down.
"Father!" he screamed "Please help me father!"
The boy, was hanging 15 feet off the ground. Ready to plummet into the abyss; into the darkness that she had created around them. Clashes of lightning, striked down on the earth around them. Massive winds enveloped them.
The desperation and fear apparent on his son`s face, broke his very soul.
To the left, also suspended 15 feet off the ground, was the woman he loved. Her soft brown curls blew across her face. Their time spent together in both worlds had been so short- they had loved each other more in the last few months than most people do in a lifetime. She was his world, and yet here she was- her life literally hanging in the balance.
"I love you Rumpelstiltskin" she mouthed, careful as to only convey her message to him- and him alone..
In between the two people he loved most, was the Queen. Her vacant and emotionless eyes, matched the darkness around them. She sent out a sharp thrill, which made Rumpelstiltskin leap forward.
"Let them go!" "Please!" he begged "If you want me, than take me! This is between YOU and ME! Do whatever you want to me. Just let them be!"
"You fool! Did you ever think you could beat me? Did you ever think you could win?" said the Queen "This is my game! No one will beat me!"
"Please don`t"
Rumpelstiltskin fell to his knees, and gave the queen one last pleading look. Hoping to awaken any last part of humanity left in her soul.
"Make a choice!"
"No! I won`t!" he yelled, defiantly.
"Make a choice, or lose them both!" said the Queen. She dropped them both, five feet from where they originally where. She gave Rumpelstiltskin, once last hardened look; her last warning and coldly said, "Choose"
"My son! My boy! I choose my boy!" Cried out Rumpelstiltskin.
He sobbed hysterically as he gave his true love, one last glance. This was the last time they would ever see each other.
A soft smile made its way across her face.
"I love you, Rumpelstiltskin" she said, and Belle fell. Their love, his life, his Belle- forever lost. Swallowed by the dark. Her light, extinguished, for all time.
Sorry love.
I was in a bad mood and in a bad place when I wrote this.
