Chapter Eight

Rumplestiltskin wasn't sure which made him angrier…the broken glass lying everywhere, the broken doors hanging off their hinges or the damaged, broken, torn or crushed things scattered on the floors. He never cared much about material things, but having his home invaded made his blood boil. The memory of his house being broke into when they lived in Storybrooke filled his head as he growled and balled his hands into fists.

Belle watched him walking to the pedestal when he picked up the chipped, china cup and held the chipped, china cup in his hands.

"Papa," Baelfire said as he appeared in the doorway and Rumplestiltskin placed the chipped, china cup on the pedestal then turned to look at him. Baelfire had accompanied them home when they saw the large front doors had been ripped off their hinges and he had been searching the castle. "I found something,"

They followed him out of the dining hall as Rumplestiltskin held Belle to his side and Baelfire led them up the stairs. They walked down the hallway when they stopped at the doorway to his bed chambers and Rumplestiltskin walked in the room. He walked to the bed when he looked at the mattress and the mattress had been torn to shreds. He felt his heart slamming in his chest when he closed his eyes then tilted his head back and screamed. He sank to his knees when Belle ran to him then knelt down and held him.

"Hush," she whispered while stroking his hair and rocked him. Baelfire walked closer as he looked up at his son and Baelfire knelt down in front of him.

"Papa…," he said, but Rumplestiltskin shook his head and they helped him to his feet.

"What did you find?" he asked.

"It's over here," Bae said as they walked to the wall where the dressing table was and broken pieces of the mirror were on the floor. Carved in the wall was WHERE IS IT and what appeared to be a drawing of some sort.

"Where is it?" Belle asked as she frowned and Rumplestiltskin held her against him.

"Do you have any idea what it means?" Bae asked and Rumplestiltskin let go of Belle, walked to the wall and moved his fingers over the drawing. If he had his magic, he would be able to detect something, but he sighed and shook his head.

"It looks like some sort of sword," Belle said. Rumplestiltskin took a better look at the drawing when something clicked in his head and his heart skipped a few beats.

"No, it's not a sword," he said then turned to look at them and sighed. "It's a dagger."

"Are you sure?" Bae asked.

"Yes," he said as he started pacing when he came to the window and was careful not to step on the glass. He looked out at the scenery when he thought he saw something and walked closer. He carefully pulled something off one of the shards of glass when he walked to them and rubbed whatever it was between his thumb and fingers.

"What is that?" Belle asked.

"It's…," he said then sniffed whatever it was and his eyes went wide. "It's fur."

"What kind of fur," Bae asked as he looked at the green hairs and Rumplestiltskin sighed.

"I think it is monkey fur," he said and Belle gave him a puzzled look.

"Are you saying we were invaded by monkeys?" she asked.

"Yes."

"But this is our bedroom. How did they get up here?"

"Have you ever heard of flying monkeys, Dearie?"

"Yes."

"Why would flying monkeys come here, Papa?" Bae asked and Rumplestiltskin looked at the drawing on the wall.

"They were looking for my dagger."

"Why?"

"Because someone Wicked told them to," he sighed, balling his hands into fists.

Belle watched her husband pacing back and forth while sitting at the table and Charming sat to her left and Snow White sat to her right. They had returned to Charming's castle and told them what had happened and Charming had called the others for a meeting. Belle wasn't sure if the others would come to help them, but Granny, the Seven Dwarves, the Blue Fairy and some of the others sat around the table and Baelfire stood near her chair.

"Papa, sit down before you wear a hole in the floor," Bae said, but Rumplestiltskin shook his head and kept pacing.

"What I don't get is why someone would want your dagger," Grumpy said.

"Whoever has the dagger controls the Dark One," Belle said.

"But the last time we saw the dagger was when he used the dagger to kill his father," Snow said.

"And his father disappeared," Charming said.

"But the dagger didn't," Bae said as Rumplestiltskin stopped pacing and looked at him.

"What do you mean, Dearie?" he asked and walked to his son.

"It didn't disappear with your father," he said and Rumplestiltskin gave him a puzzled look. "Do you remember lying on the ground after you stabbed him?"

"Yes, I was bleeding to death."

"You had the curse in your left hand…"

"How did you get ahold of it?" Grumpy interrupted.

"I picked the pouch he had on his belt while I was fighting to get hold of him," Rumplestiltskin said, glaring at him.

"As I was saying," Bae said. "You had the curse in your left hand and the dagger was in your right hand."

Rumplestiltskin thought for a few minutes as he replayed what happened and he remembered pulling the dagger out of his father just as the black smoke cleared. He could still feel his fingers wrapped around the handle and he sighed, lowering his head.

"I didn't want anything to happen to your dagger so I took it and hid it in my jacket. When you…when you were healed, I forgot I had it until we went to say goodbye to Emma."

"I remember you hugged her."

"Yeah, but I did something else," he said as Rumplestiltskin thought for a few seconds then his eyes went wide.

"Baelfire, tell me you didn't give her my dagger," he demanded and Baelfire looked at his feet. "Seven hells, you did."

"I thought it would be safer with her."

"You thought it would be safe with a woman who had her memories erased?!" he shouted then growled, spun around and started pacing again.

"Papa…," he said when Rumplestiltskin sighed, walked to him and placed his hands on his son's shoulders. He knew he had all right to be angry, but the sadness in Baelfire's eyes hurt him to the core.

"What do we do now?" Snow asked when the doors opened and a guard walked in, heading for Charming.

"Sorry to interrupt, Sire, but there's someone here to see you," he said and Charming frowned.

"Who is it?" Charming asked when three figures appeared behind the guard and Charming's eyes widened.

"That would be me," Regina said as they turned to look at her and Robin Hood and Roland was in Regina's arms.

"Mister Rumple!" Roland shouted as she let him down then he ran to Rumplestiltskin and Rumplestiltskin picked him up, hugging him.

"What are you doing here?" Snow asked as Regina walked in the room and stood near the table.

"Someone sent word that he was in trouble," Regina said as she looked at Rumplestiltskin and he glared at her.

"I sent for him," Bae said as he pointed to Robin then glared at her. "Not you."

"I go where my husband goes," she said and smiled at the shocked looks on their faces.

"You married Regina?" Bae asked and Robin nodded his head.

"Can't fight true love," Regina said then looked at Charming and Snow White.

"I think I'm going to be sick," Grumpy grumbled.

"If you don't want my help," she said as she turned to go when Charming sighed and rubbed his face with his hands.

"We need all the help we can get," he said and Regina smiled, walked to the chair Rumplestiltskin was supposed to be sitting on and sat down. Robin stood near the chair as Rumplestiltskin started pacing again and Roland placed his head on his shoulder.

"So, why are we here?" Regina asked. Snow White explained while Regina looked at Rumplestiltskin and frowned. "Are you sure it was flying monkeys?"

"Yes," he said as Regina stood up and walked to him.

"Then that means…"

"Yes, Dearie, she sent them," he said and Regina felt ill.

"Who are you two talking about?" Snow asked.

"We're talking about the Wicked Witch of the West."

"But she lives in OZ," Granny said.

"How did she get here?" Grumpy asked.

"She might have crossed over when we came back," Charming said.

"And she wants the dagger to control him," Granny said then looked down her nose at Rumplestiltskin. "Or is there another reason why she's here?"

"What are you implying, Dearie?" he asked as he handed Roland to Regina, walked to the table and slammed his hands down.

"Well, you do have a rep for switching sides at a drop of a hat," Granny said then looked at the others. "Don't you think it's a little odd that those monkeys could just stroll into his castle and…?"

"They broke in!" he shouted then breathed hard and fast through his nose.

"Stand down!" Charming shouted as he stood up and Rumplestiltskin growled, stood up straighter and Belle saw the hard look on his face and in his eyes.

"I knew this was a mistake," Rumplestiltskin growled when he stormed out of the room and Belle and Baelfire ran to catch up with him.

"I knew he hadn't changed. Once a villain…always a villain," Granny said and Regina glared at her.

"Shut up, you old flea bag," Regina said and Roland covered his mouth with his hands, softly giggling.

The wind made the sails of the Jolly Roger ripple as Killian Jones or Hook walked across the deck and the sunlight shimmered off the chrome hook where his left hand used to be. He wasn't sure why he had stayed after everyone was brought back to the Enchanted Forest, but something held him here. He was the only one he knew who could still travel between world. If he had the guts, he would set sail and go find…

"Emma," he said softly when he noticed someone was coming closer and he walked to the top of the gangplank, placing his hand on the wooden railing. Rumplestiltskin, Baelfire and Belle came closer when they stopped at the bottom of the gangplank and Hook looked at them. "Well, what do I owe the pleasure?"

"May we have permission to come on board, Captain?" Rumplestiltskin asked.

"It depends on what you want."

"We have need of your ship," Bae said and Hook arched his eyebrows up.

"You do?"

"Please, we need your help," Belle said and he looked at the sad look in her eyes.

"Come on," Hook said then stood back and they went up the gangplank. He led them to some crates when they sat down and he looked at them. "So, why do you need my ship?"

"We're going to bring Emma and Henry home," Rumplestiltskin said.

"You can't. They were Regina's price for breaking the curse."

"That's true, but something had come up and we need the Savior," Rumplestiltskin said then told him about what happened at his castle and Hook frowned.

"Flying monkeys broke into your castle?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"You don't believe me?"

"Well, seeing that I've never seen a flying monkey, aye, I don't," Hook said and Rumplestiltskin glared at him.

"He's telling the truth, Bae said and Hook sighed.

"If, and this is a big if, I let you use my ship, how are we going to find them? They could be anywhere."

"How did you find me, Papa?" Bae asked.

"I used a location spell," Rumplestiltskin said then looked at the leather wristband.

"Haven't you gotten that off yet?" Hook asked as he looked at the leather wristband and Rumplestiltskin shook his head.

"We've tried everything we could think of to get it off," Belle said as she placed her hand on top of the leather wristband and Rumplestiltskin softly smiled at her. Hook noticed how they looked at each other when he sighed and stood up.

"I think I know a way," he said then walked away and they looked at each other.

"Why do I think he's going to get a sword?" Bae asked as Rumplestiltskin sighed and thought the same thing. A few minutes later Hook returned with someone none of them thought they would see again and Tinker Bell smiled at them.

"Hello," she said when she sat next to Rumplestiltskin and he looked at Hook with a puzzled look on his face.

"How long has she been here?" he asked.

"It's been a few weeks," Tinker Bell said then took hold of Rumplestiltskin's wrist and he flexed his fingers. "I can't believe he used this on his own son."

"I can," Rumplestiltskin sighed and she saw the sadness in his eyes. She gently twisted the leather wristband around his wrist when the leather wristband opened and slid off his wrist. Rumplestiltskin smiled when he hugged her and Tinker Bell giggled. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," she said as he stood up and flexed his fingers. Closing his eyes, he opened himself to the magic in the air when his eyes opened and he gasped. He felt like something had slammed into his back and he fell onto his knees.

"Papa!" Bae said as he knelt down beside him and Rumplestiltskin was on his hands and knees, gasping for air.

"It's…too…much," he gasped when Tinker Bell knelt next to him and slid the leather wristband back on his left wrist. The pain slowly ebbed away as he sat on the deck and Baelfire pulled him closer, wrapping his arms around him.

"What happened?" Belle demanded as she knelt next to Rumplestiltskin and brushed the hair out of his eyes.

"He hasn't used magic for nearly a year. His body couldn't take it," Tinker Bell said as she held his hand and Rumplestiltskin looked at her.

"All magic comes with a price," he whispered and leaned against Baelfire.

"Yes," Tinker Bell sighed.

"Now what do we do?" Belle asked.

"Oh, stop all this whining," a voice said as they looked at Regina standing at the top of the gangplank and she glared at them. "Let's go find Emma and Henry."
