Disclaimer: My first try at a Once Upon a Time fanfiction. I do not own Once Upon a Time, if I did a whole lot of season 4 wouldn't have happened. This little scene is what (I my opinion) should have been said after Belle confronted Rumpelstiltskin on the clock tower.

Strength- Belle and Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold

The two feet between them might as well have been a hundred miles.

Rumpelstiltskin held out his hands toward her in a pleading gesture "I love you. More than anything."

"Then why did that gauntlet lead me to your dagger?" Belle asked bitterly, hiding her pain under derision. "You said it would lead to what someone loved most"

Rumpelstiltskin shook his head, "No, I said it would lead you to their greatest weakness, which is often the thing they love most, but not always, not for me. You were never my weakness, Belle. You have always, always been my strength."

100 words. Please review (no spoilers please, I've only watched through season 4). Side note: I didn't know until today that it was spelled Rumpelstiltskin, not Rumplestiltskin.
