Regina smirked at Rumpelstiltskin, and tilted her head. "It appears your little friend has...vanished."

His eyes went dark, "Regina...where is she?"

"She's somewhere in this castle..." she smirked and suddenly, she was gone.

He widened his eyes, clenching his fists, "Regina!"

Inside a dark room was a little girl, with long ginger hair, she was scared and was hugging herself.

Rumpelstiltskin ran throughout the castle, calling out Kierah's name. He couldn't lose her again, his only friend.

Kierah, now thinking she was Belle took no notice to the calling, instead she sat down and started crying calling out for her father. The froglike man continued calling out for her, slowing down his running to a slow walk. He had lost her...and this time, he didn't think he could get her back. He swallowed thickly, leaning against the wall as he sighed. Well wasn't this just perfect?

Belle got up slowly, knowing that crying wouldn't help her situation as she wiped her eyes and left the room she was in. "Father?" she called out, scared.

The man lifted his head up, looking up and down the hallways as he heard a small voice, "Is that you, dearie?"

Belle recognized the voice as the man she had met. "Rumpleshiltskin!" she called out looking around for the man.

His eyes widened as he stood and began walking, "I-I'm here!"

She smiled and ran where she heard the voice, but stopped upon seeing him...he didn't look the same. He smiled, kneeling down to her height. She seemed...shocked? Yes, that was the word for it. He didn't want to frighten her so he remained silent.

"Who are you?" She asked looking at her feet, and shuffling them.

"I'm Rumpelstiltskin," he rolled the 'R', hoping she would remember

Belle giggled, this had to be her friend, she smiled, and hugged him quickly. He hugged her back, tightly but not too tight. He was happy that she remembered him.

Mo widened her eyes and smacked the man as hard as she could, "Oh hell n..." she trailed off blinking as she tilted her head, feeling a strange sense of dejavu.

Hook, smirked and rubbed his cheek, "Huh..? remembering are we love?"

Her eye twitched, "I don't know what you're talking about..." She looked away, cheeks pink.

Hook laughed "You can't lie to me...I spent a year being your friend, I know what you look like when you are lying..." he said with a smirk. "You remember~"

She leaned away, "A year? I think I'd remember having an eyeliner wearing pirate as a friend..."

Hook laughed "Well, the evil queen did take away your memory, love..." he said kind of sadly, but anyone could tell he was trying to cover it up...

"My memory? Really now..." She said in a sarcastic way. Hook scoffed and looked away.

"...I'm actually supposed to bring you to her..." He said pulled her out of the water by her upper arms and leaving her on shore for a moment.

Her tail disappeared, her legs back to normal once more. Strangely enough, her pants were dry and she immediately patted her pockets, looking for her phone.

Hook watched her. "...I...I don't think I can bring you to the queen darling...but I can bring you to somewhere safe..."

"Crossing me are you?" Regina scowled from behind the two...except she looked like Ursula

"Holy shit..." Mo blinked, staring at the dark queen, eyes wide, "She looks like an octopus!"

Hook looked at Mo, "Really, love? Really?" he shook his head, "Regina...she belongs here in the enchanted forest..."

Mo hid behind the taller male slightly, not at all liking the way this was turning out. Not only was she confused out of her mind, but she was a little worried. If the queen really did intend to take her away...

Regina raised an eyebrow. "What makes you think, you can decide that...she'll ruin everything...she'll stop my curse." she scowled.

Hook glared. "I don't think it's that bad."

Mo glanced between the two before quietly picking up Baloo, who had been sitting next to her, and turned around in the opposite direction, getting ready to leave.

Hook grabbed her arm, and looked at Mo. "Don't leave...she'll get you." he whispered quietly as Regina stared at him.

"I'll kill you Hook." she scowled.

Rumpelstiltskin sighed softly, still hugging the child. If he still had a soul he'd probably be crying out of happiness.

Belle yawned, "How did I get here?" she asked innocently.

He pulled her away, holding her carefully, "You...got lost."

"Are you going take me back home?" she rubbed her eyes, holding her arms up to be carried.

"You're parents are out on business, dearie, they asked me to watch after you..." He lied, Belle nodded, and kept her arms up to be carried giving him a look that yelled 'carry me'. He sighed and set her on his shoulders as he began to walk again.

Belle covered his eyes, and giggled. "What are you gunna do?" she asked.

He merely continued walking, "Oh no! Whatever shall I do?" He chuckled

Belle growled playfully, "Nothing!" she giggled.

He laughed lightly, bouncing her lightly. Belle giggled and hugged his head. He snickered, continuing to walk. Belle let go of his head so he could see.

"Thank you, dearie," He hummed lightly as he made his way to the main room.

"What are we gunna do?!" she giggled. "Play outside? Play in the flowers? Read!?"

"Let's go outside, dearie, I know of a wonderful flower patch not too far from here."

"Yay!" she giggled, and noticed her clothes were baggy. "But why don't my clothes fit...?"

"You were outside for too long and shrank." He said matterafactly

Belle rolled her eyes, "No, I didn't stupid!" she giggled.

"Oh, but you did, didn't you know that you shrink when you're in the water for too long?" He asked

"You were in the water too long," she giggled.

He laughed lightly, going outside and walking down a small dirt path. Belle looked around, and smiled at the cool breeze.

Hook looked at Regina as she disappeared, and looked at Mo, who was staring at the ground, eyes locked on her boots. Regina reappeared behind them with a dagger.

Flounder looked at Regina. "Go away Ursula!" he screamed, and splashed water at her.

Regina looked at the little fish and scowled. "Let this be a lesson to you both." She said with a wicked smiled, as she waved a hand over Flounder and he withered into a decayed fish...Hook looked at Flounder sadly, and looked at Mo, hiding her head in his shoulder.
