Sorry this is a little late. Hope you enjoy it! Please feel free to participate in my #fight for Rumbelle. I would really appreciate it. :)
Summary: A look into Rumple's mind while he is in the coma. I have no idea what inspired this…. It kind of just happened
(5x02): The Brown Haired Girl
He can hear her talking to him, can feel her warm hand on his cheek. He longs to reach up and stroke her hair, longs to see her bright blue eyes again. He can't move, frozen in place, frozen in time.
He can't remember her name. It's something beautiful, something… musical. Aria… Cadence… Lyric… no it started with a B, he thinks. But no matter how hard he tries, he simply can't remember.
He just focuses on her hand carding through his hair instead, her soft voice singing a soft lullaby.
The times she is not there are the times he begins to lose. Other people visit him, but they don't matter. Not like she does.
Once, the snappy one with the dark hair visits. She yells at him for a little while, but he doesn't listen.
Another time the pale blonde stops by. He feels a twinge in his chest, a flair of pain. There is something about her, something that reminds him of him…
He realizes after a moment that she has the Darkness. His skin burns and his chest tightens and he tries to move away but he can't. He is held in place, held in the cage of his own mind.
She doesn't say anything, but he knows what she is thinking, can feel the Darkness picking away at their minds.
They are angry, furious at what has happened to them. How dare those so called "heroes" treat them this way. They thirst for something, but are not quite sure what that something is. Maybe it's revenge… maybe it's blood. But someone has to pay for what happened.
When she leaves, he comes back to himself, trembling.
He doesn't stop until she comes back, until the beautiful brown haired girl grabs his hand and entwines his fingers into hers.
