Chapter 2

Now, 8 years have passed since the event at the park on the swing was not a one-time thing and events like occurred more and more over the years.

Gideon learned to hide the voice in his head from his parents and pretended it didn't exist when all along it plagued him for 8 years.

Belle and Gold never got back together but remained married although at times they both wanted to be that close again but knew they would always love each other.

Gideon is now fifteen and is walking out the pawn shop with his parents planning on going to Granny's for a family meal.

When a masked figure arrives in Storybrooke through a magic bean that was lost in Camelot.

The figure comes with a bow and arrows forged out of powerful magic to kill a powerful witch in the making.

Who is this powerful witch in the making well I give you one guess Gideon Gold there no other male witch in town apart from Gold?

"How was school," Belle asked

"It was good the day dragged but it was good," Gideon replies

"What do you fancy for dinner scrappy," Gold asked calling his son his favourite nickname

"Cheeseburger and fries oh coffee lots of coffee, Gideon said

"Fine but decaf only," Belle spoke in the tone a mother gives telling their child not to argue back tone if the child is smart enough will follow

"Fine, decaf coffee only," Gideon mumbles the figure that found it's way to Storybrooke waits until the three come into view before loading his bow with arrow and fires but before the figure fires an arrow Gideon is showing his father the latest movie out on DVD so both are oblivious to the arrow shooting towards Gideon but Belle sees the arrow and does the one thing any parent would do protect their child

"GIDEON MOVE" Belle shouts who pushes her son towards his father and turns back to face the shooter only for the arrow to impale her in the chest and falls to the ground in pain

"MOM," Gideon screams upon seeing his mother shot with an arrow meant for him Gold sees the figure holds out his hand and starts to strangle the figure while bringing him closer with telekinesis the figure not wanting this night to be his last grabs glass bottle storing squid ink throws it at father and son temporarily immobilizes the two and disrupts Gold's magic allowing the figure to escape using another magic bean

"Gideon, Rumple the arrow it's stuck in my heart," Belle whispered tears forming in her eyes the squid ink wears off Gold and Gideon the two run towards Belle and kneel beside her

"Hold on belle we need to get the arrow out of you before I can heal you," Gold instructed he stroked Belle's left cheek before pulling out the arrow with both hands

"Gideon look away or close your eyes I don't want you to see me like this," Belle said trying to focus on breathing while shielding her son from her current condition

"Do what your mother told you, Gideon," Gold commands while holding his hand over Belle's chest and releasing a stream of purple light trying to heal Belle but his magic is ineffective

"Papa is she okay what's wrong why isn't she healing," Gideon asks with tears already beginning to fall

"The arrows were made to be immune to Gold line of wizards no one in our family can heal these wounds," Gold explained

"Take us to Emma," Gideon demands while holding his mother's hand

"It's too late Rumple," Belle whimpered but Gold didn't take no for answer and is about to teleport the three to Emma's but Belle sub comes to death, however, she doesn't die without saying one last thing to her husband son

"Rumple I love you just promise me that you look after Gideon," Belle whispered under her breath trying to remain alive long enough to stay her last thoughts

"No Belle hang in there," Gold sobs

"Gideon be good for your father," Belle asked her son

"No, mom don't go you can't go," Gideon begs his mother after his plea Belle dies in front of the two people she loves most
