Chapter 11 life of the queen
"Rumple, please tell me?"
Belle tried to move away from Rumple. It was the only way she knew to get his attention; she knew he always had to be near her, he had to hold her. When she started to move away, he spoke then, Belle came back so he could hold her hips. He said "Belle, what you must understand is that in the future, something's are written and something's just happen".
"How does that tell us not to protect Snow?" she was confused she wanted to protect her.
"Belle something's such as Snows life was written, before she was born. In the future, she will find out about the Queen but not by us. She has a destiny that must be completed". Belle continued to look so Rumple continued "one day, she will meet a prince, while she is in hiding from the Queen...their journey will be tough but they will defeat the Queen and will conceive a child. A child that has one of the most important prophecies of all...This child will save us all". Rumple knew he was telling her too much knowing this information could drive someone mad and knowing that Belle is friends with Snow it could mess up the future.
Belle was in shock and said "what do you mean save us all?"
Rumple took Belle to her bed, where they both sat and Belle put the rose and the book down. Her hands were on Rumples. He said "in the future, the Queen will release a curse that will send us all to another land, where we will not remember who we are...the child would get to the land another way and on her 28th birthday, she will break the curse but she would grow up with no parents".
"Rumple I don't understand, why don't we just stop the Queen from releasing the curse then we will all stay here and Snow can raise her baby?"
"Because, Belle, this land we will be going to it is where Bealfire is".
Belle remembers at the dark castle rumple telling her about Bealfire and that he lost him. Belle smiled and said "you are going to find you son?"
Rumple nodded and Belle leaned over to embrace him again. Rumple said "Belle, in order for this to happen, you must not tell Snow, if you do, she might never meet the prince or have her baby, promise me that you won't tell her".
"I promise...so can you tell me my future?" Belle said with a smile on her face.
Rumple pulled away from Belle so he could look at her eyes then he said "Belle, if I could I would but for reasons I don't understand, I can see everybody's future except yours. You are the only mystery to me."
Rumple put his hand on her cheek and Belle said "maybe you can't see my future because your apart of it". Belle smiled at the possibility of that. Rumple smiled too, he hoped that was the reason. Belle then said "Rumple who is Daniel? The Queen said that Snow killed him but she would never do that, who is he?"
"It is a long story Belle".
"Please I need to know why she said that about Snow".
"Well it all started before Regina was born...I knew her mother I taught her magic. She was evil and she cared for no one but herself. She was a miller's daughter, who dreamed of the life where she didn't work for royalty, she was royalty. One day she snuck into the ball held at king Xavier's palace and was caught she told the king that she could spin straw into gold when she couldn't".
Belle held one hand on her necklace at this point knowing that her necklace was once straw. He continued "they threw her into a tower and told her to make all the straw up there into gold. I came and taught her then, she married Prince Henry Regina's father. Nine months after, they were married, Regina was born. At this point Cora, Regina's mother, ripped her own heart out so that she would love nothing, so she would have no weakness. By this point, I had stopped teaching her. Regina grew up with that mother. Her family lived on an estate, where they had stables. Growing up Regina was nothing like her mother she had kindness in her. She fell in love with their stable boy who's name was Daniel".
"Wait, the Queen fell in love with a stable boy?"
"Yes he was her true love".
"Carry one please".
"Anyway, Regina found her true love but she knew Cora would never allow it, so she never told her mother. One day, Regina went to the top of the hill where she would meet Daniel, then they heard Snow having trouble with her horse and Regina saved her". Belle nodded she knew this part Snow told her. "A few days, later King Leopold came to Regina's house and proposed, she didn't want to marry him but her mother accepted. That night Regina ran to the stables and told Daniel everything, they decided to run away together. That night Daniel asked Regina to marry him and she said yes. They kissed and Snow saw. She ran to tell her father and Regina ran after her to tell her the full story. Snow understood and promised not to tell anyone the secret but that didn't last. The next day, Regina gathered her things and didn't see Daniel at all. By night fall, she went to the stables and she and Daniel were ready to go. They were running and by a flick of Cora's hand, she threw them onto the floor. She tried to make it look like they could stay together but then Cora ripped out Daniels hearts and crushed it right in front of Regina, till it turned to dust".
Belle held a hand over her heart and said "that is what she is planning to do to me, isn't it...she wants my heart and then she is going to crush it in front of you".
Rumple pulled her close and said "no...No she will not, I will make sure that doesn't happen, I promise, no harm will come to you".
Belle smiled and pulled away, so he could continue with the story "after Cora did that, she told Regina she was still going to marry Snows father. A few days later when she was being fitted for her dress, Snow told her that she told her mother, Regina was angry and this is when it begun. She came to me asking me to bring Daniel back but I told her I can't bring the dead back to life. I taught her magic because I saw her future but now all she really wants is for me to be broken. She wants Snow dead because of Daniel and she wants you to get back at me". Belle was in shock at what Rumple had just told him and he said "Belle, are you okay?"
"Yes I am fine" Belle kept on shaking her head she was clearly not fine. "Its just I have always thought that how much evil there was in her, she was born that way. Now I know it is because she had her heart broken by her true loves death. What happened to Cora?"
"I don't know, Regina sent her through a mirror, that would have taken her to another land. Regina is getting revenge on everyone now...the only one left is Snow".
"Are you sure there is nothing we can do"?
"I'm sure" the only thing Belle wanted to do was to help Snow and that was the one thing Rumple couldn't do. He would have given her the stars and all the jowls in the world if she asked but interfering in Snows life, he could not do.
