AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hello! This is my first story. I am new to . This story is about how the brave little tailor from the Grimm fairy tale makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to help him destroy the evil queen. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: The Pilot Chapter
Rumpelstiltskin sat at his spinning wheel turning straw into gold in the Dark Castle. He once told his love, Belle, that spinning the wheel helps him forget things. Guess it worked since no one can remember what he forgot.
The big doors to his castle flew open. Entering was a young man, about 21, named Timothy. "I was wondering when you would get here," said Rumpelstiltskin. "Why did you send for me?" asked Timothy. Rumpelstiltskin sat down at his dinning table and poured some tea. He gave a cup to Timothy and drank a cup himself. "You're here because I need a favor from you," said Rumpelstiltskin. "What is it?" asked Timothy. "The evil queen is going to enact a dark curse. My curse. I gave it to her as my ultimate revenge and I need you to help me destroy her. Can you do that?" explained Rumpelstiltskin. "Of course. I have taken 7 at one blow," said Timothy, proudly, "But what will you do for me? If the queen finds out about this plot she will kill us." "My favor in return, will be to protect you from the queen so long as you agree to help me," said Rumpelstiltskin. "So do we have a deal?" he asked. "Well what exactly does this curse do?" Timothy questioned. "It will take us...all of us, from this life to some place horrible where everyone's memories are erased and we have to suffer forever with no memory of this life," explained Rumpelstiltskin, in the very creepy voice of his. "Will the witch remember?" Timothy asked. "Of course and we can only hope that someone who can blow away seven flies will also remember," Rumpelstiltskin taunted.
Timothy didn't like this deal at all. "I don't know Rumpel. This sounds like too much. Well look at the time I must get going now. There's a special order for the duke that I need to deliver," said Timothy, anxiously. He sipped his tea which had a very strange taste and began to leave. As he walked out the door Rumpelstiltskin said, "Fine then, but just think about how your life will end. While the queen dances victoriously you will be hastily stitching and hemming with no memory." Timothy left without another word.
Sometime later...
It was the biggest day for the entire kingdom. Prince James and Snow White were getting married today. Timothy was invited to the wedding personally by Snow because after all, he stitched together her beautiful white dress that she was wearing for her wedding day.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," said the Pope. The kingdom cheered and the prince and princess shared a passionate kiss. But it only lasted for a minute because bursting in the doors was the evil queen. "Sorry I'm late," she said. Doc, the dwarf cried, "It's the evil queen! Run!" Snow drew Prince Charming's sword. "Shes not the queen anymore, just an evil witch!" shouted Snow White. "I have a wedding gift for you," said the queen. "We want nothing from you," said Snow White. "Yet you shall have it," forced the queen. "My gift to you, is this glorious, happy day. But tomorrow, my real work begins. Everything you love, everything all of you love, will be ripped from you," the evil queen said.
The whole kingdom was abuzz with the queen's threat. Rumpelstiltskin's words echoed in Timothy's mind. He decided to pay a visit to Rumpelstiltskin who was now locked up in an underground cell where his powers could be contained. He walked up to the bars that locked Rumpelstiltskin in. "Well if it isn't The brave little tailor. Finally coming to accept my offer?" he said as he laughed his insane little chuckle. "We have a deal," said Timothy. Rumpelstiltskin smiled a very sinister smile. "I knew you would eventually warm up to me," he said, "But I will not require your favor until 28 years have passed." "28 years? Why so long?" asked Timothy. "Because it will be 28 years before the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming comes back to save us and break the curse," Rumpelstiltskin explained, "the curse that is on its way here right now." At that moment the grayish blue cloud which was the curse blew into the cell and engulfed Timothy and Rumpelstiltskin. After a few moments, the smoke cleared and Timothy, now known as Asher Thread, was standing in his tailoring shop and Rumpelstiltskin, now known as Mr. Gold, was standing in his pawnshop. It was the first sunrise ever in Storybrooke, Maine.
