Henry and all the others continued to travel through Sleepy Hollow in search of Emma.
They had walked through the big town in the morning in search of her, only to hear people mention her with another man.
That made Hook suspicious.
And then along the way they were attacked by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse again.
They were able to defend themselves and kill them again, but they knew they would be back.
Now night was falling and the gang was in the middle of the woods.
"We should camp here for the night," said Gold stopping everyone.
"We can't stop now!" yelled Mary Margaret.
"If we stop we may never rescue Swan," said Hook.
"If we don't rest we won't have any strength to search or walk.
"Besides…" groaned Violet. "My feet are killing me."
"Me too," sighed Henry.
Regina sighed and nodded.
"We'll rest here for the night," she said.
"Me and Robin will keep watch for the Horsemen," said David.
He and Robin took their weapons and began pacing around.
"And now for my tricks," said Gold.
He held out his hands and snapped his fingers.
Immediately a camp was made, with tents and a fireplace
"Pretty romantic eh?" he asked Belle.
Belle snorted and walked off.
Gold sighed sadly and angrily.
"She's not going to come back to you," said Regina. "You blew it."
"Not now!" yelled Gold. "I'll handle this."
He walked off to follow Belle into the forest.
Gold followed Belle for a while through the forest.
He followed her until she stood on the top of a small hill staring at the moon.
"Belle listen to me," Gold said walking up to her.
Belle turned and held out her finger.
"Stay away from me you beast!" she yelled.
"You don't understand Belle!" yelled Gold. "It's complicated!"
"No its not!" yelled Belle. "Its obvious! You chose the power of the dagger once again!"
"I did it because I can't let it go!" yelled Gold.
He sadly drew the dagger out from his coat and stared at it.
"The thing is I've had this power for so long, that its so hard for me to give it up, and try to so hard," he said.
Belle's anger went away as she stared at Gold.
"I love you…Belle," said Gold. "I will never stop loving you, but at the same time I can't stop loving my power."
"Why can't you just be happy with me?" asked Belle.
"Because when you've had something for so long, it is so hard to give it up," said Gold.
Belle sighed.
"But know this Belle!" yelled Gold. "I never had any intentions to use it for evil! There was nothing in this town I needed to use the power for!"
"Then you should've given it up!" yelled Belle. "Rumple I love you with all my heart! But I can't deal with this!"
"I don't want to lose you another time Belle," said Rumple. "I've lost you too many times already. I…"
Before he could finish, he froze and looked around.
"Rumple?" asked Belle. "What is it?"
Rumple looked back and forth and then straight at Belle with his eyes wide open.
"BELLE GET DOWN!" he yelled.
Before Belle could hit the ground, War himself appeared right over her.
Belle held her hands over her face to block herself.
War's horse stood on two legs and prepared to bash her in the face.
But then Gold blasted War with magic and threw him and his horse back into a tree.
"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" he yelled.
War was frantically trying to get back on his horse while trying to make it stand up.
From the distance they could hear everyone else yelling out in terror.
"They're all here," said Gold.
He grabbed Belle's arm and got her up.
"Come on we're going!" he yelled.
"Going!?" yelled Belle. "We're leaving them!?"
"We have to get out of Sleepy Hollow if we are to be together," said Gold as he tried to drag Belle but she broke free of his grasp.
"NO RUMPLE!" yelled Belle. "We are not leaving them!"
"You don't understand Belle!" yelled Gold. "These guys will not stop coming back from the dead until we are dead! If we're in a different realm like back home they can't reach us!"
"Or you could actually be a hero and a good guy for once and fight," said Belle.
"What?" asked Gold.
"If you want me to truly love you, and for me to show you that its true love," said Belle. "Then let me see the true hero in you. Go back and fight."
Rumple stared at Belle and then smiled.
Belle smiled too, until War appeared over Gold this time.
"RUMPLE!" she yelled.
War's horse was about to stop down on Gold, but then he took his Dark One dagger, flipped it so he was holding it the other way, and then stabbed War's horse right in the heart.
They both yelled out and immediately turned to ash.
"One down," Gold said.
He then turned to Belle.
"Three to go," he said.
Belle smiled and Gold teleported them back to camp.
At the camp everyone was struggling to fend off the other three horsemen.
Every time they came back they seemed to be much stronger.
"Must be picking up from our previous battles," yelled David as he clashed with Conquest.
"Just aim for the horses!" yelled Hook as he swung at Famine.
Mary Margaret and Robin shot arrows at the horses, but they were much smarter now and moved too fast.
Regina just threw fireball at anything evil that moved, but mostly Death who was on to her and the kids.
But yet to their best efforts they could not easily hold them off this time.
They found themselves losing and down on their knees.
The horsemen all stood over them.
"You're death shall be quick and painless," said Death. "I assure you."
"When you are dead I will feast on your souls and flesh," said Famine.
"We have won," said Conquest. "Now lets kill them."
They all held their swords above their heads preparing to strike everyone.
Everyone gripped one another waiting for the killing blow.
But then suddenly, the sounds of horses screaming was heard.
Everyone looked up and saw fiery spears in the horses, and Mr. Gold controlling them.
"Remember me?" he asked. "The Dark One?"
"No!" yelled Conquest.
"We got so far!" yelled Death.
"I'm still hungry!" yelled Famine.
"Well I guess I'm not so dark anymore," said Gold.
He made a fist and the horses all caught fire and turned to ash.
At the same time so did the other three horsemen.
They were dead again.
Everyone looked up and stared at Gold.
He walked up to everyone with the dagger in his hand.
"Forgive me guys," he said. "I was planning on leaving you all behind and taking just me and Belle out of here."
Everyone stared at him.
"But I realize now that power has turned me into a monster, and now I am going to learn to control it to prevent that," he said.
"Well good for you," said David standing up.
"Glad you finally came to your senses," said Regina.
Gold smiled and then was turned around by Belle and greeted by her lips.
"I love you," she whispered. "You're a hero."
Gold smiled and hugged Belle.
"Uh excuse me Gold?" asked Robin.
Gold looked at him and acknowledged him.
"What is it?" he asked.
"You mentioned leaving Sleepy Hollow," said Robin. "Does that mean you actually know how to leave here!?"
Gold nodded and pointed out at the forest.
"On the other side of the forest lies a cottage where a brilliant sorcerer who enjoys making deals like me lives," he said. "If we can get to him, maybe he can help us find Emma and get out of here."
"Very well then," said Mary Margaret. "That's where we're headed."
"Right after we rest for the night," said Hook. "Then you lead us to the place Crocodile."
"Of course," said Gold with Belle hugging his shoulder. "Now if you'll excuse me I have business to attend to."
All everyone saw was Gold and Belle crawl into a tent, zip it up, and constantly watch it shake and tumble.
Awwww! Belle and Rumple are back together and Rumple is now good. But its not over yet! Who could be this sorcerer Rumple mentioned? Stay tuned to find out because I am not giving any hints.
See you next update! Review please dearies!
