Chapter Nine-Regina POV

Out of everyone in the room, the Doctor, Rose, and Belle looked most worried.

I felt Robin's hand wrap around mine. "Anyone know who 'the Exterminators' are?" He asked.

"That would be the daleks," the Doctor answered. "Not a fun enemy to have. Unfortunately, they are my biggest enemy."

"Something's wrong with Rumple," Belle interrupted. "He's not waking up."

"Is he breathing?" Rose walked over to Belle and Gold, who looked to be unconscious on the couch.

Belle nodded. "Yeah. I think he's just unconscious."

"Was he possessed?" The Doctor asked, walking to stand next to Rose.

"I can ask once he wakes up," Mary Margaret offered.

"My mother's ghost was probably different than whatever possessed Gold," I pointed out.

Robin looked confused. "What?"

"Long story," I waved the question aside. "Right now, we need to figure out how to wake up Gold."

"True love's kiss?" Emma suggested.

Belle leaned down and kissed Gold, but nothing happened.

"It was a good idea," Killian said.

"Unfortunately, we're going to need an even better idea," David sighed.

No one had any other ideas.

"What if you used the dagger and ordered him to wake up?" Killian finally suggested.

Belle shook her head. "I couldn't do that."

"I could."

"Killian!" Emma scolded.

He shrugged. "I could."

"If Belle doesn't think it's a good idea, we won't do it," I interrupted. "Discussion over. Maybe we should wait."

"Yeah." Belle gave me a thankful look.

"Anyways, we hardly know anything about these 'Exterminators'," David reminded us. "What exactly is a dalek?"

"Does anyone have a piece of paper?" Rose asked.

"I'll get one," Mary Margaret volunteered. She returned with a piece of paper and a pencil, which she handed to Rose.

After three minutes of pencil scratches, Rose held up her drawing. "This," she said, showing the picture to everyone in the room, "is a dalek. Very nearly unstoppable, but apparently one of us has the power to stop it."

"Why are you certain it's one of us?" Killian asked.

"How many people are in this room?" Rose replied.

"Ten."

"Out of how many people did Rumpelstilstskin say it was going to be one of?"

"...Ten."

"There you go."

"Well, it's got to be Emma," Mary Margaret said. "I mean, she's the Savior."

"I-I don't know..." Emma stepped back. "I have no idea how to stop these 'daleks'."

"Neither do any of the rest of us," Belle reminded her.

Emma still looked uncertain.

Gold coughed, and everyone's attention focused on him.

"Rumple?" Belle asked.

Slowly, Gold opened his eyes. "I..."

"You're awake!"

"What...what happened?" He asked, sitting up.

"You said something about 'the Exterminators' coming to Storybrooke," Belle gave Gold a quick explanation of what had happened since he was possessed.

"So when are these 'daleks' coming?" Gold asked.

Belle sighed. "We don't know."

"Are you okay?" Robin asked me in a hushed voice. I turned my attention to him.

"Yeah," I lied. I could tell Robin knew I was lying, but he didn't question me about it. I leaned my head on his shoulder. "I'll...tell you later."

Author's Note: I'm sorry for not putting this chapter up sooner. But I'm out of school now, so I might put up chapters more than once a week now.
