Chapter 11.
After Baelfire and Belle regained consciousness from the Vault drawing powerful magic from them to save Gideon. Everyone present in the sea cave pocket realm fueled by the Vault of the Dark One returned to their respective homes. In the Gold family house in the living room to be exact we have Belle, Gold, Baelfire, Henry, Laurel and Lucy with Gideon. Belle and Gold are sat down on one couch while Baelfire and Gideon are sat on the one opposite couch. While Laurel and Henry sat on the floor with Lucy.
"Talk Gideon," Gold said.
"I have no idea where to start," Gideon replied.
"The beginning," Belle says.
"A few weeks ago I started having what I believed to be random nightmares of me and deceased Dark Ones, and every time a Dark One visited me, they would show me their past and sometimes the lives of their children," Gideon tells his family.
"Wait other Dark Ones had children Rumple, you never told me," Belle spoke.
"Honestly the voice in my head never told me, I don't why tell us more about these children of the deceased Dark Ones," Gold told his youngest.
"The children were like me strong and just like me, had another half in the form of a voice, some were good but others were mostly bad and in one of my recent encounters with a Dark One, I learned that there was a Child of Darkness that loved a Mills man and I now know how the Werewolf species came to be," Gideon explained.
"Wait, a Dark One created the Werewolves why," Henry asked not able to let his curiosity get the better of him.
"A Dark One called Ben cursed his wife and her friends after one night she left with their daughter Hope they took Hope to the fairies wanting protection instead the fairies killed Hope in fear of what she could become that was Ben's vengeance since the wolves played a major part in Hope's death," Gideon says.
"That is beyond cruel a child is innocent," Laurel commented.
"Not all children are innocent but Hope was a baby maybe toddler at least but the fairies didn't give her the benefit of chance," Gideon replied.
"Then what happened,"? Belle asked.
"I learned that the Dark Ones wanted me still want me to make the Vault whole since the Dark Curse struggled to bring it over here it split it into multiple chambers," Gideon said.
"So you thought you would be reckless Gideon by going in it alone," Belle lectured.
"I didn't want anyone to get hurt mom, I thought I could handle it by myself that I could do what they wanted and be left alone afterwards," Gideon spoke.
"That doesn't matter Gideon, you're a kid you can't just go around and try and make something as big and dangerous as the Vault of the Dark One and you almost died" Gold lectures.
"If I came to you guys you would insist on helping me and when I went to Prue and Robin for the blueprints of the town and then they almost died because of me they almost died," Gideon cried.
"Family help each other and Robin and Prue helped you because they love you so much they were willing to put their lives at risk," Baelfire says.
"That's it though isn't if they didn't love me then they wouldn't have been hurt," Gideon said.
"Nevermind about that Bell and Bae are you two okay after what the Vault did to you,"? Laurel questions.
"I'm not sure but what I do know is that whatever the Vault did to me, now I feel so weak like all the strength, speed and agility Gideon gave us is gone," Belle replied.
"So do you think's possible that the Vault drew the spell out from within them to for the dark spell to feed on,"? Henry asks.
"Maybe and since we know the Dark Ones have a connection to the Vault does that mean Gideon has a connection," Belle asks.
"Yes," Gideon said before anyone else could reply. This comment made everyone turn and face Gideon once again.
"You already know you have a connection to the Vault," Gold says.
"I found that when I was dying Colette well Grams came to me, she explained that the Meadow and Sea cave pocket realms I created are fueled by the Vault of the Dark One and the reason I felt so safe there is because of my connection to the Vault and being a Child of Darkness I guess the Vault thinks that I'm its responsibility and will try and protect me at all cost," Gideon replied.
"It's going to take a lot of power to bring all the chambers belonging to the Vault closer together then a lot more to actually make them whole," Gold tells his family.
"It looks like we have a lot of work cut out for us then," Laurel said.
