Chapter 10...

"So where it is?" Hook gritted as he tore the whole clock tower apart.

"She lied to us" Regina snarled.

"No...she didn't" Cora stood holding Ava smirking towards the clock hands that ticked every minute.

*evil cackle*

"Hold her will you dear" Cora passed baby Ava to Regina who stood there with an incredible evil grin on her face.

She carefully pulled a piece of the shaded glass away revealing the arm of the clock. To her amazement there it was.

The jagged, dirty coloured silver dagger, ticking around in time with the arm of the clock.

"Clever hiding place for a very clever man" Regina snickered.

"Indeed" Her mother looked straight towards her with an evil grin.

"Now...Let me stab him straight through his heart and take my vengeance" Hook began to grab hold of the dagger, but Cora quickly swiped it away from his grip.

"All in good time, First there's something we must do"

"I am fed up of this!, You've used me, you're never going to let me do anything are you?!" Hook said angrily and stormed out of the tower.

"If I can't kill him with his own dagger, I'll find another way" he gritted his teeth as he mumbled to himself.

Cora and Regina stood in the tower. Cora held up the dagger and glanced at it, twirling it in her fingers and admiring the markings.

"Isn't it amazing?" Cora said gleefully.

Ava began to cry, "Don't you think we should give her back to Belle now?" Regina said as Ava started to wriggle in her arms.

"All in good time Regina, We've come this far, We can't give up now"

Regina nodded, but something inside of her was building up.

Guilt?

Anger?

Sadness?

Guilt?

Cora held the dagger up in her hand and began to speak, "I SUMMON THEE DARK ONE"

Emma drove the car back to Storybrooke. Henry reading his little fairytale story in the back seat, But Bae was no where to be seen.

"Why didn't Neal come with us?" Henry questioned innocently.

Emma looked at him through he rear view mirror.

"I guess he just didn't feel up to it" Emma tried to explain but not going into too much depth.

"Miss Swan why don't you just tell your boy the truth, The reason he didn't come back was because of me" He gritted through his teeth, revealing his sparkling golden tooth.

Mr Gold gripped onto the handle on the side of his car door. He gripped so hard his hands turned Blue from the blood no longer circulating.

The whole car fell into an awkward silence.

"He'll come back" Henry assured him, but Mr Gold only snarled quietly.

"Miss Swan, do you think you could drive a little faster?" he said in a sarcastic tone. He knew something was wrong and he wanted to immediately get back to Belle and his daughter. At least they still loved him, he thought in his mind.

Emma leaned her arm towards the radio to turn up the music to get rid of the horrible silence of the journey until she noticed something. Something wasn't right.

"Gold?!" She looked at him, then back down to his hands.

"What the hell's happening?" she questioned him again.

He hadn't even realized himself what was going on.

His eyes widened at the sight.

His hands were becoming opaque...and then transparent.

"What the hell?" He seethed.

"You're being summoned, It's in my book!" Henry said leaning forward into the front so he could get a good look at what was going on.

Mr Gold closed his eyes tightly. The power of the dagger pulling him like a magnet towards it.

"It's my dagger, someone has it" his voice was now angry with a hint of worry.

"They're in Regina's house, I can already see it...they're summoning me...Drive faster!" he spat at Emma, who suddenly stepped her foot down on the gas.

They were only 10 minutes away from Storybrooke but His figure was disappearing until suddenly he was gone from the car all together.

Belle sat alone and afraid. What were they going to do to her?

What were they going to do to Ava?

Belle breast fed Ava so How were they going to feed her?

What were they going to do to Rumple?

She sobbed in the basement on the extremely uncomfortable floor.

At one point she had even witness a huge rat run along in front of her feet and she squealed with fear.

she looked up to the tiny shimmer of sunlight that shined through and it made the tears that run down her face glisten. Her dress was becoming dirty from sitting on the dirty floor for days.

Her face was still stained with blood from where she had fallen against the wall because of Regina's magic, as they wouldn't even give her a wet cloth to wash herself with. Her dress had somehow been torn and she simply couldn't stop the tears from forming in her eyes and sending streams down her face.

Regina and Cora had finally returned back to their home with the dagger of Rumplestiltskin. Cora couldn't believe her eyes, and she couldn't stop staring at it.

Mr Gold had suddenly appeared in front of Regina and Cora. He glared at them, but then his eyes softened at the sight he saw before him. He would have witnessed that tiny delicate dress anywhere, he bought it for Ava himself. A laced Blue one, size 0-3 months old, but it was too big for her, and that's when he remembered that it was the same dress Belle had dressed her in the day he left to find Bae.

"Is that?" He gestured to the little baby.

"My...My...My...Rumplestiltskin, not so mighty anymore are you?" Cora said sarcastically with a chuckle in her voice.

"Cora" he gritted.

"After all these years, I can still get you whenever I want" She teased him and it made his blood boil.

"You really know how to grind my gears dearie...My daughter if you please?" He began to walk towards Ava and Regina until suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks.

"I command you to leave your daughter alone"

He tried to fight the overpowering of his own dagger to retrieve his daughter from the evil Queen but he couldn't fight it.

Cora cackled and chuckled for ages at the sight of a helpless Rumplestiltskin.

"Where's Belle?" He seethed in her face.

"Oh don't worry, you'll see her soon enough" Cora smirked.

Belle sat with her knees tucked up into her chest and her arms wrapped around them tightly.

She heard footsteps approaching her door, but they weren't the normal kind of stilettoed footsteps but she didn't look up anyway.

When the door was pulled open, she heard the sound of a tiny baby cry and it made her heart break every time she heard it.

She slowly lifted her head up to the innocent high pitched sound and her eyes widened with amazement.

"RUMPLE!" She jumped to her feet and ran to him wrapping her arms around his neck tightly, but he was distant.

"How did you?...Where...When?...How did you know?...Urccchhh I don't care! I knew you'd come for us" she said looking directly down at her crying baby.

"Hello sweetheart, my baby" she sobbed with happiness.

"Well isn't that sweet my dear" Cora and Regina approached side by side.

"Rumple?" Belle muttered as she tried to take Ava from his but he wouldn't let her go.

"Rumple what's going on...whats wrong?" She said worryingly.

"I'm sorry Belle" he whispered as he gazed into her teary blue eyes.

"I command you to give the baby to Regina" Cora said with a huge smirk on her face.

Being commanded, he couldn't stop himself.

Regina looked to her mother confused, but with the assuring nod from Cora Regina willingly took Ava from him.

"Good..." She smirked and ran her knuckles down his face, and it made him cringe and made his stomach curl up into itself it turned him physically sick...

"Oh we had some fun back in the day my dear Rumple" She smiled at him and placed a kiss to his cheek, leaving a bright red lipstick mark on her cheek.

"Rumple...what's she talking about?" Belle asked anxiously, but she was positive that she probably didn't want to hear the answer.

Mr Gold creased his eyes shut, wishing everything would stop and hoping it was all a dream.

"Well my darling...you see me and your true love had a past" Cora turned to smirk.

"Maybe we should show her how we used to seal our deals?" Cora bot down on her lip seductively as she took another step towards him, but it turned him even more sick.

She cackled and chuckled and snarled.

Ava began to screech and cry and sob. She needed the comfort of her mother.

"Now...Kill her..." Cora gestured her finger over his shoulder and pointed directly at Belle.

Belle glared with confusion.

"What?" she said worryingly. "Rumple?"

"NO!" He gritted. "NO" he repeated.

"Rumplestiltskin, I command you" Cora said ferociously.
