Chapter 10 decision

Everyone had worried and confused looks on their faces. Emma walked up to Belle and said "wait why does he want her dead?"

Belle walked over to Grace and Arya then she rolled Arya's sleeve up and showed everyone the bruise. Arya was still crying and Belle said "this is why". Everyone looked at the bruise and tuned to the Blue fairy. Belle walked towards her and as she walked further away Henry ran to Arya and Grace and embraced both of his friends.

Charming looked at Arya then Belle and said "when did that happen?"

"The other day when Arya ran into you. After the curse broke" Blue looked to the floor and Belle said "do you remember now?"

Blue took a step forward and said "Belle, I'm sorry I didn't mean too".

Belle placed a hand forward and Blue froze. She said "I'm not accepting your apology...but I know that there is a better way to handle this then blood being spilled".

Red looked at Belle and said "cant you calm him down?"

Belle shook her head and said "no. This is the only time, I can't calm him down. When someone hurts someone in his family, he thinks that blood has to be spilled to make everything right".

Arya walked up to Belle and said "mama, papa's close I can feel him".

Belle looked at everyone in the diner and pointed to Blue as she said "hide her".

Outside the smoke had just cleared and Rumple and Hatter were stood outside. Rumple and Hatter looked at the diner and Hatter said "are you sure she's here?"

Rumple nodded his head and said "yes. The place can be private when it wants to be and it's big enough to fit the council in".

Belle came running out and walked up to Rumple and Hatter as they walked towards the entrance. Inside the diner, everyone was watching through the windows what was going on outside. Belle walked up to them and said "you can't kill her".

Hatter and Rumple moved past her and headed towards the entrance. Belle made her way to the entrance and Hatter said "Belle, you need to move" she shook her head "Belle, that fairy hurt Arya. She has to be punished".

"She does have to be punished but death is not the answer".

Rumple looked into her eyes and said "then what do you suggest?"

"I...I don't know".

Rumple and Hatter sighed and Hatter said "come on" Hatter pushed Belle out of the way.

As he held the door handle, Belle said "so you'll both kill in front of Arya and Grace. What role models you are".

They both froze and thought about what Belle said. After a few moments, the door to the diner opened and Arya and Grace walked out. The adults took a step back and the girls stood in front of them. Grace looked at the men and said "why are your hearts full of hate?"

Arya looked at them both and said "we know there is good in you but if you kill her then you are proving us wrong. Papa, Uncle Hatter, please don't kill her". Arya walked towards Rumple and held his hand in hers and said "please, papa".

Rumple moved some hair from her face and kissed her forehead and said "let's go home".

The girls, Belle and Rumple smiled but Hatter said "wait, we're letting her get away with his".

Rumple tapped Hatter on the shoulder and said "we're finished...do this for the kids, Hatter". As much as Hatter displeased the thought of letting someone get away for hurting his family, he walked away for the girls.

Moments later, everyone in the diner came out. The family looked at everyone and Belle just nodded as if to tell them that it was safe. As everyone stared at the family, some peoples faces there were smiles and other were just blank expressions. Rumple looked at Emma and said "remember, miss Swan, you still owe me a favour". Belle smacked his arm for bringing the deal up. She knew that after Emma made the deal with Rumple in exchanged for Cinderella's baby that it would come up eventually.

Everyone looked between Emma and Rumple and Charming said "you made a deal with him?"

Emma shrugged her shoulders and put on an innocent face and said "it was before the curse broke, I didn't know who he was".

Everyone was too shocked to speak but then Ruby said "you do know his deals are hell right?"

Emma opened her eyes wide and looked at everyone for help then Arya said "don't worry, the favour isn't that bad".

Emma looked at Rumple and said "you already have a deal?"

He shrugged his solders and said "maybe. But at this point in time I'm not ready to cash in the favour".

Emma laughed under her breath for a moment then said "so you're just going to let me think of the worst till you decide when the time is right".

He nodded and said "yes".

Emma rolled her eyes then looked at Arya and said "hey, kid, what's the deal?"

All the family smiled as they knew Arya wouldn't tell her. Arya put on her thinking face then smiled and said "not telling".

Everyone smiled but Emma had an annoyed looked on her face. Snow laughed under her breath and Emma looked at her and said "what's so funny?"

She smiled and said "she's just like her father".

Arya pulled a face and said "is that a compliment?"

Snow smiled and said "in certain aspects...yes" she looked at Belle and said "listen, we decided that the school is going to open again. Will Arya and Grace be joining?"

Belle shook her head then said "I don't think so, were going to teach them like we did in the other land".

Snow nodded and said "okay, just know that there is always a place for them at the school".

Belle nodded but before she could say anything Arya said "were not going to that school. The lessons that we did in the other land were much better".

Henry narrowed his eyes and said "what lessons do you do?"

Arya and Grace smiled at each other then Arya said "dance that my mother teaches us but she started to teach us about books too".

Then Grace said "portal jumping and realm history's that my papa teaches us".

"And finally sword fighting that my papa teaches us".

Henry smiled then he looked at Emma and said "can I have a sword?"

Emma shook her head and said "maybe when you're older you can ask your Gramps to teach you".

Henry looked at Charming as he said "I'll teach you when your eleven" he then looked at Arya and said "well I guess your lessons explain your sword".

She admired her sword and said "my papa gave it to me...right before you put him in prison" as she said the last bit she gave him and evil glare.

Charming put his hands up in surrender but then Rumple said "Arya, we talked about this. You know why I had to be in that prison".

She sighed and said "I know papa".

After a few moments the family left and went home.

When they got home they were all happier then they were this morning. The girls stood in front of the adults and Grace said "when are you teaching Arya magic?"

Arya looked at them as well and they knew that she had the same question in mind. The adults sighed and then Hatter looked at Rumple and said "well I was thinking that Grace could have an extra lesson with me, while you teach Arya".

He nodded and said "I think that is a good idea".

Arya smiled and said "sooo...when's my first lesson?" the rest of the family couldn't help but smile.

Rumple gave her a cheeky grin and said "well why don't we have a picnic in the back garden and...I'll start to teach you".

Arya smiled then she pulled Grace's arm and they both ran into the kitchen.
