Chapter 1 – 405 words
A creaking noise, the sound of a cellar door opening and slamming shut again.
Rumplestiltskin stood up from his seat behind the spinning wheel and began walking towards the front of his cage when he heard her.
"Hello?" a gentle voice whispered, and with that a flash of light entered his view. He recognized her beautiful voice as if it were the last thing that he had heard. It was his Belle.
"Belle," he choked, desperate for her touch as he reached his hand past the confinement of his cage. Belle used her flashlight to locate the chord hanging from the ceiling and pulled it, turning on the light bulb on the roof and placing her own flashlight on the ground.
Her eyes met his. "Rumple?" she asked, clearly shocked at the raggedy old man staring back at her. She rushed up to the cage wall, letting his hand caress her cheek. In turn, she threw her hands between the bars and softly placed them on his cheeks. "Is that really you?" She felt his hot tears hit her hands as her own eyes welled up.
"My beautiful Belle," he murmured, his voice cracking with each word, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry my love."
"Sorry for what?"
"That I have to send you away," he said, and then shrieked, ripping his hand from her cheek and gripping his own head. Belle jumped, pulling her hand back. She didn't know what was going on with her true love.
"Belle," he said, scrambling to the back of his cage and screaming, "Belle you have to go. She has my dagger."
"Who? Rumple I'm not leaving here without you!"
"Belle you must go right away. I don't want her to hurt you." Belle began to look around the room, saw a shovel, and picking it up, she slammed it against the lock keeping Rumple in the cage. After a few hard slams, the lock was broken and fell to the ground. She pulled open the cage door and ran to Rumple, kneeling beside him. He looked bleak and weary, like the world was spinning and it wouldn't stop. Caressing his cheeks, she kissed him hard, shocking him, and he looked at her the same way he had when they had first kissed.
"Rumple, I'll help you through this. We can do it, together."
And with that she grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the cellar.
