Before we start... this booked is based on many people(characters) but sadly will not involve all of them in one whole chapter. This story will be short therefore no extra events like ball will be happening (not sure). But since it is a short story it is one of my requirements that every chapter contains 1000 words or more.

Therefore, I will not remove any characters since they are all part of the story. Sorry if I failed to mention that earlier.

Now onto the story...

-OUAT-

RUMPLESTILTSKIN'S POV

It was peaceful early morning that crumpled shortly after hearing a deafening sound: the loud whining... and cries of a baby. I sighed, it has been so long that I forgotten how difficult it was to raise a baby. With a bit of magic, I easily blocked the sound until I can only hear my own breath. I sat down in my chair closing my eyes. I knew I wouldn't able to rest so soon while another accompany is, as of now coming to see me.

SNOW'S POV

I have faced so many obstacles in my life and so far this is the hardest. Trying to remain strong while my baby is out there, maybe unprotected is the scariest thing. Charming has also left with some of the guards to Rumplestiltskin's castle and try to get back Emma. To top it off, we haven't talked since he left and I am worried it will be the last. I slumped in my bed and asked one of my birds named, Chirp who is in the palm of my hands a question "Do you think I'm the worst wife and now maybe mother?''

Chirp simple tweeted and flew away out the window.

Great. I'm also a terrible friend.

I snuggled my head in the cushion blaming myself. If only I had let him explain his reasons then maybe we could both reassured ourselves a little that everything will be alright.

I removed myself from the bed and looked outside the window and prayed ''Please be safe Charming. Don't worry my little one, daddy's coming to save you''

CHARMING'S POV

All the plans has been prepared and currently me and some of the guards are taking a rest in some part of the forest where we are hidden enough not to be seen but close enough for us to see them. I'm just waiting for a friend to study my plans and confirm them, come to think of it he is a tad late. I knew the forest enough to walk past it but not enough to use it as a war field for defense. My dear friend however, has lived in these forest for quite some to know it at the back of his hand. That extra knowledge will be useful against someone as powerful as the dark one. Focused on my thoughts, I was surprised when someone pat me in my shoulder greeting me.

"Its been a while my old friend. Or is it King now? You're majesty.'' He quipped

"you know such formalities as a king is not needed for as you have said, I am you're old friend''

I smiled, it truly has been a long time since we have seen each other, most likely it was before I have even met Snow. If I remember it was the time when I was still working in the field with my mother and him living with his pregnant wife, Marian in the forest. They helped as often when we have no silver and gold left. Thus the reason why he is aware of my secrets and especially me being David not my twin.

"what is it you needed then? You wouldn't imprison me now would you? After all you are the King and I assure you I have not stole any of you're coins from you're carriage or even in you're kingdom''

"Relax Robin, I know that you give it to those who needed it. I simply needed you're advice in some of my plan. Would you mind if we discuss it inside one of the tents?

"Of course not! But I will apologize for lying, I may have stolen some coins from one of you're carriages''

"what?'' I asked dumbfounded

"c'mon mate'' Hepleaded putting his hands up ''in my defence, I only took a small amount, so small that you didn't even notice'' he said trying hard not to laugh at me.

I just grinned and guided him inside of my tents.

2 hours later

''WHAT! ARE YOU OUT OF YOU'RE MIND!'' Robin shouted. "This whole plan is suicidal.''

"And that is why you're here to help me make sure that it is not suicidal.'' I reasoned

"You are up against the dark one. He owns magic that YOU don't possess, he can practically kill all of you in one snap of his fingers in just one blink of an eye and you wont even notice it.'' He finished

'''So, what you're saying is that it is impossible to defeat him''

''No. Its possible'' He sighed "' what do you think happened to the previous dark ones before the one we have today arrived?'' I interrupted him and asked. ''how do you know...''

"You tend to hear stories and tales in the end of the town especially at the taverns. But, I have heard someone who is in the same path as you, killing the dark one.''

"Who!?'' I asked

''he goes by his own moniker, HOOK.''

"Captain Hook?''

"the same one''

"As in the vile pirate? What would a dirty pirate like him want with him? I asked

"that no ONE knows, mostly kept to himself and no one dares to approach him and ask. But it is told that he knows a way to kill you're enemy.''

"'where is he now?'' I questioned

"that is the mysterious part , he has not been seen for the past years and many people concluded that he is gone.''

Come to think of it, asking for help and teaming with a pirate is like offering him our coins and maybe worst, our lives.

"meaning there is no way I cannot save my daughter from the dark one.'' I murmured

"I'm sorry mate, maybe you can ask a powerful fairy for help or the worst way is maybe make a deal with him?''he suggested

"No! My wife still refuses to talk to me since I made a mistake of making a deal with him. I'm not going to make it worst for ourselves and easy for him to play us.''

Robin left about 5 minutes ago saying he and some of his merry men are going to take a rest due to their long travel. This might be the craziest thing I will ever had as an idea but it is worth a try. It is stupid and as robin said, hogging to be suicidal, but if its the only way I can reunite with my daughter and make my wife forgive me, then I will do anything. I refused to have thoughts about any of them thinking that I might never see my princess again or my wife never forgiving me nut I cannot help it. I am her father and I was supposed to protect her and I failed. Oh, mother what do I do now?

Early in the morning I asked one of my guards to visit someone important to me and deliver an important letter. I told him to give the letter to a small inn at the end of the town to someone wearing a RED hood. I also told the rest of my guards to return to the castle immediately and protect the queen. Only one I am with is Robin who will be hating me after I told him of my idiotic rescue plan.

I coming soon my princess, so please be okay. Daddy will be coming very soon.
