It seemed Rumple was either fooled or didn't care because he went back to his peppy annoyance and asked us again, "Is there some deal to be struck?"

"Not exactly." Emma says now, wanting to find the easiest way home as fast as possible. "We are in need of crossing worlds."

Rumple raised an eyebrow now curious of what these strange people were wanting from him. "Crossing worlds? And how exactly do you do that?"

Emma furrowed her eyebrows not understanding what Rumple was asking. After all, he was the one that knew how to cross worlds. But, before Emma said anything Aurora was the one to speak. "We don't know how to-that's why we have asked you."

Rumple chuckled out condescendingly playing with her words telling them with a crooked smile, "Don't lie Deary! I am not fond of liars. Especially, from Princesses like yourself." Rumple looked straight at Aurora as spoke his eyes lowered as cunning as a double edged sword.

"Then tell us, Dark One!" Hook finally snapped annoyed with the continuous banter. Rumple darted his eyes toward Hook looking from his hook hand to his face narrowing his eyes.

"Prince? Hm..." Rumple snorted shrugging not caring anymore about his appearance. He obviously noticed Hook was either a fallen Prince, or a badly turned Prince, either way, he didn't question anymore. "To be able to cross worlds, one needs powerful magic." Rumple said twirling his hands in the air as purple and black swirls of magic steamed off his fingers.

"It seems you are efficient enough." I finally speaks out a hint of lingering annoyance in my voice.

"I would be, if I had possessed light magic." Rumple says a bit bitterly towards me looking at me up and down.

"But, I do." Emma finally speaks up this being the one time she was actually proud of her powers. Rumple raised an eyebrow intrigued with her words.

"A Princess possessing magic? Not the first time." Rumple laughs out with his repetitive condescending laugh. My lip slightly twitched from Rumple's stupid game of acting coy. Rumple had noticed when his gaze came toward me and asked out, "You seem very motivated to get back." Rumple smiles out stepping toward me giving me another good look. "Is it a Prince you're so desperately trying to be with?"

I rolled my eyes looking away from him, already fed up with him. Rumple laughed out again and looked at everyone now telling them, "I will strike a deal. If this Princess claims to be magical, I will help you all cross worlds. Under one condition." Rumple speaks out his finger pointing toward Emma.

But, before Emma could ask, we were all surrounded by the purple smoke, and somehow we were in Rumplestiltskin's castle. We all looked around noticing his luxuries and even some trinkets from the shop within his lair.

Then, I spotted someone from the corner of my eyes I glanced over and saw Belle. Before she had met any of us. Before she had met me actually. Belle looked at us surprised that Rumple brought us and waved at us.

"Hello." She cooed out with a bright smile. It seemed she was cleaning the bookshelf behind her, or putting away the books, either way, she was occupied with a chore. Aurora immediately waved back smiling saying a gentle hello as well. I smiled knowing Aurora would see brightness in any situation. Belle smiled even bigger as her white teeth showed, but before she could say anything Rumple cleared his throat to make his deal he talked about before.

"You can leave-any day now." Rumple spoke out shooing Belle away. I just noticed the way he had looked at Belle for the short time he shooed her away, this is the time they had probably began falling in love. Too bad Ruby would sweep Belle off her feet. I chuckled under my breath until Rumple caught me and asked sneering his words, "Why are you laughing?"

I shrugged my smile trying to hide away telling him, "Irony."

Rumple narrowed his eyes doubting our truth now, but Emma chimed in asking, "The magic?"

"Ah, yes." Rumple smirked pointing at some sort of stick that was sitting on a pedestal. "Take that and use it."

Emma walked over awkwardly, having everyone watch her intensely, even Belle was curious on what was happening in front of her. Probably because she wasn't allowed to leave, but also that many people probably never came inside the castle—and lived. Emma picked up the object examining it asking out, "A wand?"

"A fairy's wand." Rumple added watching Emma with excruciating detail. Emma furrowed her eyebrows downward not understanding the wand's significance, but then proceeded to close her eyes to concentrate. I was nervous for her, but I felt Aurora's delicate fingers slip into mine unnoticed by Rumple, but I was pretty sure Belle had caught our small display of affection. And I could swear she smiled warmly, but that was over when Emma made the wand glow out with tremendous light.

Rumple's eyes widened slightly impressed with Emma's abilities and pointed toward a dusty mirror sitting to the corner of his castle instructing Emma on what to do.

"I want you to use that light magic to open a portal within the mirror."
