First off, thank you guys for all the support, I love it! Seconndly, I am happy to announce one of my favorite fairy-tale characters will be joining us for this chapter, and possibly the next. For the chapter you will get a little insight on "Mr. Gold."
After, his Belle was dropped off at her home, he drove back home. When he pulled into his driveway, there was an all too familiar car, with that same damn bumper sticker. He grimaced, and dreaded going back into his home. He checked his hair in his rear-view mirror, and decided it would be approved.
As he walked into his house, he was greeted by an, oh so friendly woman, with a slick black dress on that hugged her curves perfectly.
"Oh, darling, I'm so glad you're home!" The woman, cheerily stated as she gave him a hug.
"Leave, you are no longer needed," Mr. Gold replied with the most venomous voice he could muster.
He shrugged off her hug, and scowled at her. Why the hell was she here? She is going to ruin everything! That thought raced through his hate clouded mind, and all he could think about was how he could get his vindictive revenge.
"Now now, that's no way to treat me. You should be thanking me! I've done so much for you, and you just stand there, acting like I'm nothing to you," she exclaimed, with narrowed eyes.
He glared right back at her, and did not feel the least bit guilty. This woman was pure and unmitigated evil. She abandoned him when he needed her most, and for that he could never forgive her. He could look past all the murders, all the crimes that she had committed, and sure, even a little of her deadly spells, but he could never get over how she left him.
Still, her eyes sparkled like she was exactly happy to see him…what a joke. She seemed to tower over him, even though she was only about three inches taller than he was.
"Leave Theodora, I do not wish to see your ugly face anymore."
"Now Rumple, is that anyway to treat your me, after I raised you?"
He glowered at her, and was tempted to use his powers to throw her out, but he knew better. She was even more powerful that he was. Instead, he would try and make her leave.
"Raised me? Ha! You raised me; just about as well as you rose you damned flying monkeys!"
"Rumplestiltskin! That is no way to talk. You are no monkey," she responded playfully.
"I will ask you politely one more time, leave."
"No."
"No?"
"Yes, I did say no. I quite like it here, and I would love to meet your new concubine. What was her name again," she paused to think, "Ah yes, Belle."
She knew how to get under his skin. How dare her! Come into his home after all these years and insult his precious Belle! No, he would not have it. Somehow, he would make her leave.
"So my dear, why don't you show me around your lovely home?"
He nodded, and suddenly became submissive. He had a plan, and he was damn sure it would work. All he needed was a few enchantments and he would be fine.
"You know, your father and me were discussing how much you've progressed. I'm sure you know that he is still an irrelevant coward to me, but you, you have grown so much since I last saw you," she said, with tears in her eyes.
"The last time you saw me was when I was fifteen. Of course I have grown!"
"You know I don't mean it like that. I mean that you have grown physically, and have gained power. So much more than what I or your dastardly father could have given you."
"Mother I didn't care about power back then. All I wanted was a mum who cared enough to ask me how my day was, or hell, even stick around!"
"Get over it that was years ago love! This is now, and I am going to be sticking around , at least until I figure out how to get rid of that girl. She is making you soft, and we both know that isn't in your nature. You were born insidious, and you will stay that way until you die. You and I both know that, and no girl will ever change that," she told him, cruelly.
He thought about his father, his loving father. He would have never suspected that his father was a demon. He was so kind, and he always cared about him. That is, until his mother had sent him back to hell. He was what Rumplestiltskin wanted to be like, powerful and strong, yet compassionate. Then again, a small part of him knew his mother was right. He was evil, and he could never change. Although, the one thing keeping him sane was Belle, and if she planned to get rid of her, he would plan to get of his mother. It was strange, when he was just a lad he expected that when his mother would return she would be remorseful and loving again. He gave up on that dream a long time ago. Now, all he wanted from her was her to say goodbye.
The following morning, Annabelle had awakened, and she resumed her daily chores. She helped her father, and cleaned. Her father seemed to be doing much better since Mr. Gold had put that mysterious spell on him. Maybe she would go see him and give him a proper thank you.
While she was dusting, all she could think about was him. His warmth, being in his arms, and the love he made to her. She got chills just thinking about it. She would definitely have to pay him a visit. Annabelle told her father that she had to go to work, and that it was going to be a long day, so after she would hang out with Ruby. His left brow raised and he must have realized that she was lying.
"Alright, but you better not be seeing any boys!" He laughed.
She sighed, like it was a breath of fresh air. He didn't suspect that she was going to see Mr. Gold, and if he did he certainly did not say anything. She practically sprinted to her car; she was so excited to see him. She felt like a kid at Halloween, and she was going to get the mother lode. Wetness already started forming beneath her, as she thought of all the things he was going to do to her.
When she pulled into his driveway, she ground her teeth. Someone else was here, and it wasn't a car she recognized from town. If he was seeing someone on the side, she would be pissed, but most of all, she would be devastated. She debated if she wanted to go into his house or not, the curiosity in her won.
