Chapter 6: Guilt Trip
A/N: I AM SO SORRY I HAVN'T UPDATED BEFORE NOW! But here is a kind of filler chapter….but lots of info on what Kathleen actually did in fairytale land…hope you like!
Thanks guys soooo much for all the reviews! This is the most I have ever got for such a short number of chapters. You guys think we can reach 20 with this chapter? It would mean the world to me is we could sooooo…..
"Henry, what can I do for you?" The false cheerfulness in my dad's voice made me tear my eyes away from the incredible important, amazing, awe inspiring, math homework.
"Is Kathleen here?"
"If you have a good reason to talk to her, why do you want to see her?" Way to suppress that deal-making urge dad, no one will ever know your Rumplestilskin… especially with that book of Henry's!
"I need to talk to her about something important." His innocence is overwhelming…how is he Emma's kid?
"About what?" Dad you're done. I got up and walked to the front of the store.
"Hey Henry." I used the same false cheerfulness my dad had, mostly to mock him.
"Can I talk to you?" He smiled at me.
"Umm, here?" My dad shot me a look.
"No, my castle." The irony of that place!
"Sure, let me get my jacket and I'll meet you outside." I went back to my stuff, but was barred from leaving by my dad.
"Your not telling him about..you know what are you?"
"With your subtlety and that book why do I need to?"
"Then why would he want to talk to you?" I didn't show it, but that hurt.
"Maybe he actually likes my personality!" With a newfound fury I pushed passed my dad and tore out of the shop.
Henry chased after, having to sprint just to catch up.
"Kathleen….slow down…..KATHLEEN." He panted, but I ignored his continued shouting of my name. "Baeltiasi!" I stopped so quickly that he nearly ran into me.
"DO NOT EVER CALL ME THAT!" My voice was deadly.
"But it's your name."
"Never!"
-Five Minutes Later-
I sat down on the castle ladder. Ignoring the more comfortable platform two steps above me.
He opened his book and pointed at a picture, "Can you explain that?"
It was a picture of the queen and the huntsman, I was spying from the corner.
"What is there to explain?" I felt a weird sensation; know that someone had known I was spying on the queen.
"Why didn't you do anything?" He pointed again at the picture, then flipped the page, turning to another picture, again with me spying on the queen, doing something pivotal in someone's life.
He flipped to another, then another, all with the same theme.
Why didn't you do anything?" He repeated the question.
"What would you have had me do, who would you have had me tell?"
"Your father..."
"I didn't know who he was."
"What about Snow White or Charming?"
"Snow was banished, and without calling attention to myself, I couldn't have seen Charming."
"You could have told-"
"Henry stop! You don't understand how could you. If you don't trust me then say it out loud!"
"I don't trust you."
"Then why do you talk to me." I jumped down form the castle.
"Because no one else remembers."
"Henry leave me alone!" I ran away from the castle, and away from the one friend I thought I had.
A/N: Again please review! Hope to get 20 so please help me reach my goal! And who can tell me the similarities in Rumple's kids names?
