Chapter 5: And So the Game Begins
Alice suddenly appeared next to Killian while he and Emma were talking. "Oh? You want to get rid of me so soon?"
The couple looked at her.
"What do you want," Killian asked while glaring at her.
Alice gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, Captain," she said with a smirk. "I'm not here for arguments." She sat on his desk.
"Then what are you here for," he asked, still glaring.
"It's a private matter," she said, glancing at Emma.
Emma glared at Alice. "There's nothing you can say to him that you can't say to me."
Killian sighed. "Love, you'd better go."
Emma looked at him. "Why should I?"
He looked at her. "You bloody well know what she could do to you."
Alice smirked. "Or maybe I'd do something more fun."
Emma glared at her. "Fine." She walked away.
Alice waited until Emma was far away before speaking. "She seems a bit too clingy for your taste, or has your taste changed?"
He glared at her. "Shouldn't you be at the diner with your kid?"
She smiled. "I am, but that's not your business."
"Then what do you want," he asked with a suspicious look.
Alice stood up and walked to him. She stood so close that their noses almost touched. "I'm interested in a little information," she seductively whispered.
"I'm not interested in what you're trying to do," Killian said.
"Oh, but I think you will be." She smirked. "I just need a few bits of information, and I won't tell her about this."
"What," he could barely say before she pulled him close and pressed her lips against his, kissing him deeply.
Killian pulled her closer, kissing back for a minute before ending the kiss. "I told you that I'm not interested."
"I can't wait to see her reaction when I tell her about our kiss," Alice said with a smirk.
He sat on his chair and looked up at her. "What do you want this time?"
She walked over to him and sat on his desk. "Tell me about this town, and your experience here."
Killian rolled his eyes. "What's the point in me telling you when you already know everything?"
Alice leaned forward. "Just tell me and I won't hurt you or her…today."
He narrowed his eyes at her. "Fine." He sighed and leaned back, knowing that she could hurt him if he lied. "Is there anything specific?"
"I want to know everything," she said with a mischievous smile.
"Fine. I s'ppose you want me to start with the curse." Killian told her the story of how Story Brooke came to be, and everything that happened before Alice's arrival.
At Granny's Diner, the Charmings, Violet, and Alice were still eating lunch together, though Violet was doing most of the eating.
Snow looked at David as he sat back down. "Is something wrong," she whispered to him.
"No, we were just talking about the past," David replied while glaring at Alice.
Alice looked at Violet. "Would you like to explore the town," she asked her daughter.
Violet smiled. "Yes! Let's go!" She excitedly hopped off of the seat.
Alice smiled and stood up. She looked at the Charmings and said, "we'll see you later." She then looked at Violet, saying, "let's go, little witch."
Violet smiled back as she grabbed Alice's hand and pulled her towards the door.
Alice laughed and opened the door. "Calm down, we haven't even gotten to the interesting parts of town yet."
As they walked down the street, Violet looked into the windows of each store that they walked by, asking her mother about them.
At the end of the road, Alice stopped outside of Mr. Gold's shop. She looked at Violet with a smile. "Wait here. I'll let you know when you can come in."
Violet nodded.
Alice stood and her smile faded as she turned towards the door.
When she walked into the shop, she looked around and smirked. "Some things never change," she said to Rumplestilskin, who was polishing a dagger.
Rumplestilskin looked up. "I knew there was something terrible here," he said while narrowing his eyes at her.
"You're one to talk," Alice replied while walking towards him. "You even brought your little toys with you."
"What do you want," he nearly growled.
"Well, I see that you've decided to skip all the pleasantries. How bold." She smirked as she spoke. "Actually, stupid is a better word for it."
"I'm not interested in your threats or deals," Rumplestilskin said, glaring at her.
Alice smiled mischievously. "Perhaps I should be speaking to someone else. Someone who can get me what I want."
He knew exactly who she meant. "You're not getting anywhere near her," he said.
"How sweet; the powerful little coward has found another love." She smirked, finally reaching the counter. "This one might actually last longer, though you were always reckless with your relationships. First your wife hated you and left you, then your little student betrayed you. Honestly, you should have seen that one coming, but now you have a pretty servant who fell for the pathetic little beast that you are."
"Get out," Rumplestilskin nearly growled while glaring at her.
"You don't seem to be understanding your situation." She smirked and grabbed his collar, holding something sharp up to his neck.
To his surprise, the sharp object she was holding was his dagger.
She smiled. "Such a pretty little knife. It would be a shame to ruin it with your dirty blood, but you already ruined it." She let go of him, but still firmly held the dagger.
"What do you want," Rumplestilskin asked, hiding his fear beneath clever thoughts.
Alice held the dagger upright, turning it around with her finger on the end of it. She carefully examined the dagger. "Yes, this is a lovely blade. I think I'll keep this for a while." She smirked. "It might come in handy."
He glared at her, but looked up when he heard the bell on the door ring. When he didn't see anyone, he looked down and saw a little girl who looked exactly like Alice.
Violet looked at Rumplestilskin. "Mama, is this loser really supposed to be the dark one," she asked.
Alice didn't take her eyes off of him. "Unfortunately, yes." She looked down at Violet. "Would you like to have a little fun?"
The girl smirked. "Of course."
Rumplestilskin looked at the two. "She's just like you," he said in a displeased tone.
"Thank you," Violet said with a smile as Alice handed her the dagger. "Let's have some fun now." She smirked and held the dagger towards him. "Bring me the most powerful item you have here, aside from this dagger."
Rumplestilskin suddenly walked to the back room then walked out with a small vial filled with a light pink liquid. He placed it on the counter for Violet.
Alice picked up the vial and looked at it. "A bottle of true love…this is the most powerful thing you have? You've gone soft." She smirked as she dropped the vial on the floor, causing it to shatter. "Try harder."
Violet looked at her mother. "This isn't as fun as I thought it would be."
"He's very dull for a Dark One," Alice said as Violet handed the dagger back to her. She looked at Rumplestilskin and smirked, saying, "This never happened," as she and Violet suddenly disappeared in a black cloud.
Rumplestilskin paused, feeling like he missed something, then continued to shine what he thought was his dagger.
