Chapter 4 – Hallucinations
Snow walks into belle's room, humming a sweet tune but stop's to look at a startled charming looking shocked. His expression across his face was fear and His features read to her confused, shock and fright. "What's happened?" Snow asks herself. She turns the corner of the room pausing herself, now noticing belle's bed was empty no sight of her was to be seen. Snow didn't realize what to expect until her eyes fell down to the floor looking now at a pool of blood in front of her feet. Her mouth dropping in shock she backed away from the blood that stained along the marble floor. "Charming!" snow shouted her voice sounding in horror, like she ran out breath as she backed away bumping her back into his chest. Charming grasped her shoulders, grabbing her turning her quickly away from the blood hiding her face. Snow began to cry into charming's chest, grasping onto his poet shirt tightly. "Why!" She breathlessly breathed against him. "Why has this happened? She's sick!" she wept into charming's poet shirt, holding onto his frame tightly hoping and praying belle is ok.
Rumplestiltskin woke up blinking his eyes noticing blue shade of smoke covering him disappearing, as the atmosphere surrounding him was eerie and this was not like a place to be in right this moment. He looked around noticing he was in a dark forest, opening his eyes shockingly, raising his face to the sky eyeing the black clouds above him. He felt heavy rain landing onto his features and onto the muddy to the floor in front of him that now became a flood patch across the road floor.
The rain belted down onto the road, hitting Rumplestiltskin's body hard when he shivered immensely from the coldness that hit his scaly skin. His eyes squinted in the distance, as he blinked violently guiding his arm to his forehead noticing something lying on the floor. He gazed struggling to see and blinked raising his eyes in horror to the floor, noticing an odd woman laying on the floor in the cold muddy surface. He quickly rushed over to the mysterious woman, as the hard rain came hitting his body hard, he kneeled down in front of her examing her frail cold wet body.
He brought himself back and stopped, backing away tripping over the back of his boot falling heavily onto his side. He raised his face to the covered woman as he shivered his words. "My god!" he shouted his voice shaking in fear. The woman before him was ememsaily wounded, noticing a hunters knife sticking out of her shoulder painfully dug in deeply in her flesh.
Rumplestiltskin rose to his knees sliding himself over to her skidding his boots along the mud, He grabbed his dagger from his pouch placing it before her nose. Looking for breath he raised his scaly features in shock now the blade showed no sign of breath, he sighed placing himself down onto his side, he was exhausted.
He panicked before her bringing his fingers up to her face, brushing away the wet hair away that covered her features, he sprung back in fright his eyes shocked by what he sees now in front of him. "No, no, no, no!" he shouts in a pained voice, falling onto his side looking at his beloved belle in front of him. "Belle, it's really you." he whispers stroking her hair strands from her face. He noticed how fragile she looked and the wound on her shoulder tore him apart as his eyes guided away crying before her on the floor.
He sniffed heavily trying to hold back his tears in front of her when he placed his arms under her waist guiding his left hand under her arm lifting her up into his lap holding her body close to his chest with his face in her hair. "Don't cry Rumplestiltskin." A faint voice spoke. His face rose up quicker than lightening from belle's hair now looking around to hear that same voice in his cell speaking to him. "Go now Rumplestiltskin, the castle is close by you need her inside." The familiar voice *the blue fairy* spoke quietly to him.
"Please," he begged with sadness. "Where are you guiding me?" he spoke loudly through the rain to the voice of the Blue fairy. "Rumplestiltskin, i told you." as she now appears in front of him, speaking warmly to him noticing belle down below her in rumples arms. "Follow the path and continue right. There on the mountain, you'll see the castle with blue flags." She smiles down to him cocking her head to the side looking down to belle noticing rumples hands hugging her tightly to his chest. "You love her, don't you." she says quietly, like a whisper. He raises his eyes to her looking down now to belle who lay softly in his lap when he sighs sadly then looking up to the blue fairy. "I do," he nods. "I love her very much." In a whispered voice he says. The blue fairy nodded then smiled to them both. "Can you carry her there, ill shall guide you both there." she says, beginning to feel the rain growing heavier in the air. She notices Rumplestiltskin nod down to her and she nods back. "Come, we don't have much time." The Blue fairy says flying forward to guide rumple and belle to the castle.
The castle became close by in the near view distance, reaching closer Rumplestiltskin began to get very tired when he needed to get belle into the castle. The blue fairy turned around to him looking at him worriedly in concern for him. "Are you sure you're ok?" she asks him, holding her gaze to him in front of them both looking to belle in his arms. Rumplestiltskin nods tiredly, the rain drenched across his body as he shook some of the rain from his face twisting his face to flick the access hair that drew over his eyes. "Come," he says in panic drawing his eyes away from the blue fairy, stepping forward to continue to the castle making a quick pace along the pebbled path. "We must hurry blue, i feel like I'm losing her." he says breathlessly.
The castle doors got in front of Rumplestiltskin's gaze, when he nodded his head to confirm the blue fairy to open the doors. The large brown gothic doors opened in front of them both, startling them as the doors creaked like the doors had not been opened in centuries. "What is this place?" rumple questions blue. Eyeing the distance Rumplestiltskin's gaze reflects on a painting in front of him of a woman and a man standing together looking lovingly together, their passion for each on their faces is what rumple always wanted with belle, but things didn't seem to turn that way. The woman in the portrait was quite beautiful she had blonde hair, blue eyes, blue flowing ball gown and a face of angels she was indeed a beauty, but as for the man, her lover. He had brunette hair, deep brown eyes, red cloche with a black waist coat and long black leather knee boats, he was indeed handsome.
"Who are these people?" Rumplestiltskin asks looking awe at the portrait. The blue fairy smiles bringing her body forward to the painting to get a better look at the two people he awed in beauty. "These are aurora and Prince Phillip, Rumplestiltskin." She says with a smile, but her face suddenly turns sheet white now in fear by the blood trickling from belles wound landing onto the stone floor. "RUMPLE! Belles blood, we must hurry." Blue fly's off quickly pointing to him to follow her, guiding him to a safe haven in the castle.
Rumplestiltskin's eyes raised by the blood on the floor, the thick content coming from belles back frightened him to death. he rushed and followed blue to this exquisite room, he stops halting himself in this pale, white fortress before him and what lay before him was a large white pool filled with crystallize blue content which appeared to be the blue fairy's magic.
He awed the view it was a breathless to take in everything was made with the finest crystal, purest of silk and candles flickered above them. "What is this place?" Rumplestiltskin turns to face blue, who smiles to him with delight by the question. "Rumplestiltskin." she waves her hand, flowing it around showing him what she shows in front of his eyes. "This is my healing fortress. Everything in this place heals only people who are severely damaged." She says looking to belle. "Place her in this content rumple." She guides her hand to the pool.
Rumplestiltskin looks down to the water in front of him then to belle, he reaches in slowly placing one step in front of the other climbing into the pool in front of him. He slowly releases belle from his grasps as he watches her float before him. A tear streams down his cheek watching belle there, made his heart melt. He leaned over her and kissed belle passionately on her pink lips, when he stepped back as did the blue fairy. A beam of white mist covered the pool area forming an ice barrier over belle. His eyes rose in quick horror watching belle sink under the ice. "What, what happening?" he questions, placing his hands onto the iced surface reaching over, sinking quickly to the floor above belle. "It's ok rumple, she's just in the healing process, it will take awhile for everything to heal but in the mean time, you'll have to be patient." Blue says calmly to him. "Come, Rumplestiltskin come with me." She guides Rumplestiltskin out of the fortress. she flies down the corridor and stops, now feeling a weird vibe in her wings. Rumple stops looking at her. "What is it?" he asks, eyeing her with a confused look. "Its prince charming and snow, they are looking for belle." She says but rumple is quick to interrupt her and cut her off.
"That reminds me, you mentioning them" he pulls his finger to his chin. "I've got matters to deal with, please look after belle for me." Rumple pleads to blue and she nods down to him. "Whatever you're going to do please, think before you take action." She says pleasantly but with reason in her tone. Rumplestiltskin nods to her; he grabs a brown ragged cloche raising the hood over his head and exits the castle to find someone who wanted to get revenge on since the beginning he got locked up.
Charming calls all the guards out one by one, "come on your not moving fast enough, we need to find belle." He shouts urging them to move faster throughout his castle. Twisting and turning and pacing back and forth along his layer, the doors of Charming's castle banged open, stopping Charming in his tracks. Before he could to get a good look at the trespasser, before he could even so much as move, his feet were taken out from under him, suddenly finding himself flung across his quarters and smacking into the far wall, hard.
Sore and disoriented, he gasped for breath, but not because of the landing, but because a hand, a hand emitting from the cloaked figure that stood before him, had a death grip on his throat slowly cutting off his air supply with every breath he took.
The eyes that glinted from the depths of the hood, burned like two balls of fire as the intruder pressed in closer, closing the space between them so tightly Charming could feel its breath, hot and angry, on his face. His tongue lolling forward in the suffocating grip, Charming was powerless as the intruder reached into his pocket, withdrawing a blade that, quick as quicksilver, slashed the blade along the length of Charming's pale blue cheek. Charming averted his eyes, trying to block the blow and any following, blood trickling along his cheek, staining his shirt.
"Who the hell are you?" Charming gasped, trying to free himself from the stranger's grasp but only found the hand enclosing tighter over his throat. Only did he hear the cackling laughter coming from the hood that he went still, petrified as recognition dawned on him. "You," he breathed, his voice nothing more than a whisper as scaly fingers pushed him further against the wall. "You're free!"
"Oh yes," he laughs with a childish glee within the echoes. "It's me, and you! Charming, it's not over you're mine." He pushes the blade further into his face, releasing fresh blood from his wound. "now let's see, where we left off shall we."
To be continued...
