Belle's POV:
🎶🎶 Tale as old as time... mmmh, Neither One prepared, ... Beauty and the Beast 🎶🎶
After singing my favourite lullaby my mother used to sing to me when I was a baby in distress, I carefully placed Emma on her wooden crib. As a new experience I was terrified on what will happen if I can't take care of her, but turns out, all I needed was patience to show her love and care and they instantly bonded to you. Of course as I read in the books, a newborn will recognize and will need their own birth mother, therefore it was difficult to try and stop her cries.
I carried a short wooden stool and placed it besides Emma. I softly brushed the end of my fingers to her wet, chubby cheeks and sigh, it did took a while to calm her down. If I am a stranger to her, I would say she looks like an angel while she is asleep. So far from the truth, but it is weird that when she is hungry, I have to mix her milk with some cinnamon or some cocoa. I wonder if she got it fro, her birth parents. I smiled knowing it will be one of her quirks as she grows up.
Loosing tracks of my thoughts, I didn't hear the door open and notice Rumplestiltskin walking in and tapping my shoulder to get my attention.
"What is it you need Rumple? Isn't bad enough to know that the two person who lives here are just part of you're wretched deal'' I courageously said.
"If I were you I will be cautious on the words that comes out of that mouth of yours, You forget, YOU accepted this deal meaning YOU had a say in it. I will admit that it doesn't count for the infant for she cannot even say a word.'' He demanded
"of course, forgive me'' I said with a little remorse. It is true that he has been a little forgiving with me that past days Emma has arrived, but it doesn't exactly mean I will forget the ability he has to kill me in a flick of his wrist. (A.N: I sung this part :D)
"Now I want you to listen, and listen carefully. No matter what happens you and that baby will stay here inside, unseen and protected by my magic.
"Do we really have a choice?'' I questioned him
"No, just do what I say'' he replied
"How kind of you. But, why inside a dungeon? Why the sudden change of you wanting us to hide?''
He sigh and mumbled '' You and that curious mind if yours''. Preparing to leave, he turned around to open the door.
"Let's just say an angry and powerful enemy is about to do their monthly visits with little old me'' He giggled and left not forgetting to lock the door so I know I can't escape.
If I didn't know any better, I would say he's trying to protect us. despite his appearance and wrong decisions, I notice he always has a good reason, but he didn't want anyone knowing. I wonder how long it will take for him to open up and finally free himself from his manipulation. I caressed Emma's cheek and took her little tiny hand with mine and rub my hand with hers.
I sighed. Is it wrong to think that I want to save him? Right at this moment I believe he only sees me as a piece of one of his deals, but yet I still want to try. I believe everyone deserves a chance, if not, a second chance.
CHARMING'S POV:
"I'm glad you can join me'' I said facing a gray wolf, though I will appreciate it if she can reply.
She hid behind a tree large enough to cover her body and shifted. She came out wearing a brown dress with a corset and a red long hood as a cover.
"What happened?'' Noticing that I'm alone, she asks ''Where are the royal guards? Are you okay?'' she continually asked.
"slow down Red'' I said
"SLOW DOWN!? Robin came by saying you were in trouble and here I though something bad is happening to you, so I came here as soon as I could... " she shouted '' But now, I can see that you're just fine''
"I apologize, and speaking of Robin, where is he? I told him to come back with you.'' I asked
"I thought you were in trouble so I ran past him" she replied glaring her eyes at me.
"Again, I apologize, but I need you're help to save Emma. I don't think Granny will appreciate me using you and well, you're wolf to save her." I reasoned
"I'm sure Granny will agree. After all, Emma is kind of like Granny's granddaughter" she smiled
"Yes, but if she hears my plan she might just change her mind."
"I think you and I know, Granny and I will do whatever we can to save Emma, not only she's the princess, I am also her aunt, her best Aunt. I wont let anything bad happen to her."
" thank you. Lets go inside to warm up while we wait for Robin''. I said
"Of course, but do tell me you're plan. I am intrigued to know on how you think you can trick the Dark One."
"Well, of course,... after Robin,... I can always use another person to shout at me saying I'm out of my mind.'' I laughed
30 minutes later...
I went outside my hide out and saw a Robin in the distance. "it's about time'' I said and smiled. I went outside our small shelter in the middle of the woods to meet him.
"You sure took your time" I teased.
"trying to beat a wolf to a running contest is another word for accepting defeat'' he said panting. "in my opinion, I say outrunning a wolf is way worst than trying to sneak past the Evil Queen's guard''
After seeing Red behind me, Robin immediately flushed and lowered his head while scratching the back of his head.
"I greatly apologize m'lady, it was not on purpose for me to lie to you, but it is behind good reason. "
"No need to apologize Robin, King here explained to me everything. But don't forget next time you even think of lying to me, well let's just say you will get a chance to meet my impatient, violent and crazy wolf''.
I saw Robin gulped and I quickly got it between them. "Now that were all here, let's take shelter inside and I tell you the plan on how I think we can rescue Emma. And we're going back home, together''.
REGINA'S POV:
Can I just say, I am travelling with a bunch lf idiots who has gotten lost in the middle of the road. Not only lost, but stuck as one of the wheels in my carriage is in the middle of a deep mud puddle. Well, they're stuck in these forest till they actually learn how to be strong guards like I want them to be. I waved my hand till a smoke of purple took me away from that rotten place and into my castle to retrieve a ''special item'' for a spell, just in case things doesn't turn the way I want them too.
Who am I kidding, it's Rumplestiltskin, the Dark One. Making a deal with him means an eternity of bad luck and mischief.
Originally I was planning to have a grand entrance and show my wrath to the Dark One, but as usual my plan,... well, it didn't go as plan. Way worst is that he actually won and didn't even put any effort to stop me. It seems like fate has cursed me to never win against anyone.
I poofed myself to the Dark One's castle, which he likes to call, ' A place to eat even though I don't need to eat'. It is a large, spacious, room with only a long table and multiple chairs around it.
"Rumplestiltskin! Rumplestiltskin! Where are you'' I shouted hearing my voice echoed into the empty hallways.
"You arrived later than I expected. What's the matter this time, Dearie? Another problem? Another deal? " He smirked knowing I need something from him.
"straight to the point I see '' that's unusual I thought to myself, sitting on one of the chairs
"Some of us actually have something to take care lf rather than plotting my never ending revenge to a certain couple.'' he relied sitting on the other end.
"You're the dark one, you can get anything you want, so don't even try comparing ME to YOU!''
"Well, I can't have everything now can I? Despite being the dark one, I still have things that I badly want but can't keep.
"Don't think I don't know what you did. You place a spell on them so I couldn't hurt them.''
"that is true, but the part where I don't get is, why didn't you use the Dark Curse I gave you.''
"'Its simple, the pleasure in succeeding will not be so much fun. You should know. How many people exactly did you take revenge on?'' I tease. I waved my hand and a tray of hit tea appeared in front of me.
"Now, do I mind telling me why you are trying so badly for me to curse this forsaken kingdom. Don't forget teaching me magic so I can destroy them only for you to protect them. I think I deserve some explanation.''
"I guess you do, and may I suggest, make yourself comfortable... this will take a while.'' he gestured while smirking.
