Belle lay awake in her bed and stared up at the ceiling. She couldn't get him out of her head tonight. She knew it was her decision for them to have space but she couldn't help herself. What the evil queen had said to him, after she had so rudely interrupted their hamburger date, really had her thinking.

She told him that a woman named Cora was coming, and belle could see his expression change immediately. "well that seems to be your problem dearie, not mine." he said as he glared at her.

"but if memory serves you two weren't on the greatest of terms either." she she was almost begging.

" I can handle Cora." he snarled. " I defeated her before and I can do it again."

" yes but now you have a weakness" she said nodding her head to Belle. " this time you have someone you care about"

belle couldn't help but wonder if she was really his only weakness. She knew that he loved her, but to be his only weakness frightened her a bit. She wondered if she should stay away from him. She didn't want anything to happen to him because of her. She stopped herself from thinking such thoughts. She loved him, and they had already spent too much time apart. She had been locked away for years by the evil queen, and Rumpelstiltskin had thought her dead all of those years. So no, she wouldn't, she couldn't stay away from him, even if it was selfish of her. It hadn't even been Cora who came through the portal it was snow-white and her daughter, so there wasn't any reason to worry.

Her mind began to ease and her thoughts began to wander to when she had been locked up in that dungeon cell that the queen had locked her away in. she had missed him so much. He had been so cruel to her before she left though and she had always wondered if he had truly loved her or not. The most painful thing for her to be locked away like that was to know that he thought her dead and she would never know how he really felt.

She knew now that he did love her. He was trying to give up magic for her. Rumpelstiltskin the most powerful being she knew of was going to try to give up his magic for her. He had to love her for her to be his weakness. He would do anything to protect her and she knew it. She knew it would be a long road before they got their happy ending, and she knew how hard it was going to be for him to stop using magic but she loved him and she would be with him every step of the way.

She then starts to wonder why they are still apart. She was being too stubborn she missed him and she knew he missed her. Hadn't he already proved he was changing?she thought about picking up the phone to call him but she had to see him. She wanted to feel his warmth and his touch and his kiss.

She was in such a hurry she didn't even bother to change out of her nightgown into more suitable clothes. She grabbed her shoes and a jacket as she headed out the door to her apartment.

She had only gotten a block down the road when out of no where someone came and hit her from behind. She couldn't make out the face of her hooded attacker as she drifted unconscious
