A/N: I'm doing a new thing where I will update weekly, unless I get a favorite/follow, in which case I will update within 3 days, or I get a review, in which case I will update by the next day. Is that good enough motivation? No? Well if I get both at once (not necessarily from the same person), I will update within 2 hours of being notified.
Belle didn't understand why Claire looked so much like her. They were from entirely different worlds. But she liked Claire, and had somewhat become friends with her in the 2 days since the group had arrived. Rumple was repeatedly questioning Claire and the others, but they managed to pass the interrogation every time. Belle really wished Rumple would just let them go home, because that was all they wanted, but he insisted that it was their destiny to come to Storybrooke. This slightly angered Belle, as she believed that no one should decide someone's destiny but them. But no matter what she said, Rumple wouldn't let them leave.
...
"I told you, I don't speak destiny", Emma said, irritated.
"Well, dearie, you heard that woman."
"Kate?"
"Yes, her. She said that it was her destiny to go to that island, and that it led her to believe in destiny."
"It's a self-fulfilling thing. She believed it was her destiny, so she made it happen. Just let them go!"
"No!"
...
"Do you trust them?", asked Sawyer.
"Yeah. That Belle girl is really nice", said Claire.
"She looks exactly like you!"
"So?"
Emma walked in.
"What'd he say?", asked Kate.
"What do you think?"
"Why can't he just let us leave?"
"Because he thinks being here is your destiny. And... he's crazy. But I've got a plan."
"What."
"Below the library, there's a monster."
"What?!"
"Long story. Anyway, if you defeat it, maybe he'll think your destiny is fulfilled."
"Maybe?"
"Worth a shot, isn't it?"
"But how do we defeat this monster?"
"I'll show you how."
A/N: Sorry it's so short! But Emma's got a plan to trick Rumpelstiltskin, so, that's something! As an added bonus, every 10th reviewer gets to suggest a prompt, so, get reviewing!
