I don't own Once Upon a Time.


Prologue

I've been believing in something so distant

As if I was human

And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness

In me, in me

All the promises I made

Just to let you down

You believed in me, but I'm broken

I have nothing left

And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time

And now I'm lost in paradise

-Evanescence "lost in paradise"


Prologue

"Please!" A queen begged the Dark One. The King pleads to take him instead. Rumpelstiltskin stood and laughed at their pitiful attempts to make him change his mind.

'No, I cam here what I was promised.' His face shows much smug about it. He is near the 8-month-old twin babies.

A girl and boy.

"You know my deal. I give you the blessing of a child that you so desired. I just collected my end of the bargain. This girl is your first-born that I will take." He sneered at her twin brother in the same crib. "You already have a son and heir. So why should you need a girl that would make a fine dearie queen?"

"If you do this," The queen snarled at him. "If you take my daughter, I will return with an army that will defeat you."

"HAHAHA!" The Dark One laughs at the Queen. "Your power upon this kingdom means nothing compared to my power!"

He mocked them by gently taking their daughters into his arms and making her little arm wave at them goodbye.

He disappeared into a cloud of black taking their only daughter with him.

"I will find you, Rumpelstiltskin!"


Present~

9:00 pm Storybrooke, Maine

Rumpelstiltskin or rather Mr. Gold sighs as he looked down at the old portrait drawing of his beloved girl. For all his time in this world, he still needs her even now.

For someone cruel or a beast. She looked at him with such devotion and love.

Regina cannot keep them apart after all.

Ding-Bell

He looked up and saw a beautiful auburn wavy hair that is down to her shoulders and dressing DEVAN JACKET that says Rock N' Roll in her back. Rip jeans and a black tank top shirt.

He smirked at her typical teenager taste in music style.

"Hello, love," He said to her.

Mr. Gold stood up and walked up to her as she locks the door, and he grabs the string to pull the window curtains down to block their outside viewers. In this ridiculous timeline, it is illegal to court underage maidens, but he is a perfect gentleman and would continue to treat her like a queen as she deserves to be.

"Did anyone follow you?" He questioned his darling. They must be careful with which anyone could spot them a mile away.

"No, she didn't even suspect a thing." His love answered him as he brings her into his arms.

He holds her and kisses her on top of her head.

"Good," He looked at her beautiful green eyes that could melt anyone's heart.

"I wished I am an adult already." She sighs at the disappointing thought.

"My dear, you are sixteen. In this state law, you need parental consent if we do wed."

"But she hates you and you hate her. We both know that she rather locked me up in my room than seeing each other."

"That will never happen." He said to her and looked down in hesitation. "I love you, Isabeau. I cannot imagine my dark world without you brighten up my days."

Isabeau kissed him and he returned.

Rumpelstiltskin still loves his princess Isabeau as Mr. Gold loves Isabeau Mills. He will not let her go again. No one. Not even her beloved guardian could stop them.
