She turned to face them. She saw a man, but not who she wanted. She saw a man in red. He had black hair and blue eyes. He was very muscular and had a large bag over his shoulder.

"Miss, are you alright?" he was was very masculine

"I'm- i'm fine" she stammered, she really didn't want to be around this man right now. She was shaking.

"Are you.. alone?" she began to feel sick, she had to lie her way out

"My uh, my husband and are we're out for a walk and I got lost. He shouldn't be to far ahead."

"Ah typical women, you should learn to stay closer to your man" he grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder.

"Let me go!" she was hitting his back, but he wasn't budging "Help! Help! HELP!" then, she blacked out

Rumple could hear it in the far distance, someone crying for help. He knew that voice. It was her voice. He ran faster. Then the cries stopped and his heart dropped. He ran faster then he had ever before to find her. Then he saw it, a man carrying Belle i've this shoulder, she was unconscious. Her heard seemed to have a bit of blood on it. Near the mans feet was a rock, it to had a bit of red stain. Rumple was angry. The man laid Belle on a large rock and Rumple sprang into action.

"Get the hell away from her!" Rumple roared as he pulled the man back.

"Oh! So you must be the husband. You sure you want her back? She was stupid enough to get away from you" 'Husband?' Rumple thought 'what the-' That didn't matter right now

"She is not stupid, she is intelligent and the best women in the world." he saw her move slightly so finished what he was doing

"Wow, this girl has you rapped around her finger-" his sentence was cut short but a snap as he was thrown into a tree. His neck breaking on impact.

He went over to Belle and picked her up in his arms bridal style. He ran as he carried her through the forest and into the castle. He would have just used magic but that could injure her further. He ran into the castle and into the library. It was her favorite place. He laid her down on the couch and sat on his knees beside the couch. He began to cry as he tried to heal her head. It wasn't working however, he didn't understand why until he remembered something. The price he had to pay when she gave him the tear. Because she had given him the tear, he could never use magic on her. After he thought for a moment, he realized he had never used dark magic on her, at least, no on her specifically. He had held her in a corner by having a heavy wind blast in her direction while he fought Robin Hood. And he made the ground cave in and fill up when he almost shot Robin. And using magic to send them home from Big Hero's Bluff after he saved was him using magic on himself, she was just with him.

"I could've used any person, why did it have to be Belle." He sobbed "I'm so sorry" he cried and laid his head on her stomach. He held her hand which lay limp of the couch "I'm so sorry, I love you"

"So, the dark one has found someone he loves?" his head shot up to see a glowing ball of light. The Blue Fairy.

"Leave." he didn't move from beside Belle

"I'm here to help." he gave her a surprised look

"Why would you help me?"

"I'm not help you. I'm helping her" he gave her a confused look as she flew over closer to him and Belle "She had great goodness in her heart, some of the greatest I have seen in a long time."

"So you'll help her?"

"Yes. But as you know, all magic comes with a price."

"I would pay anything for her." he truly meant anything, he wanted Belle back

"I will enchant you're lips. When you kiss her, she will be healed. It is a kiss stronger than True Loves. But, it's magic is so strong that you will lose most of your powers. You will no longer be the dark one" he knew what a great price this was, but he would do it. Even if it meant he would never see Bae again, at least he had Belle. They would find a way.

"Deal" she was a bit shocked by his response but with a wave of her wand, he felt his lips tingle as they were enchanted. She give a nod and flew away, the room fell quite as he lowered his face to hers and kissed her.
