The night before visiting Rumplestiltskin (Jades Castle)

Jade walked about her castle, simply dusting, bored out of her mind. She left earlier to the town and shopped for fabric to make some new dresses, found some things, but didn't have the heart to combine pieces and sew them together. She attempted making a shirt for Baelfire…but to avail, she didn't know his size, resulting in failure. Jade attempted to read, but her mind just wasn't that devoted to a story. After polishing every piece of silver, scrubbing every inch, taking her horse for a nice walk, cleaning the stable, she still felt nothing of an accomplishment… which brought her to the task of dusting. The thought crossed her mind of maybe spinning more gold. There were still bundles of it in her recently finished basket. The one she worked on from the other night when Rumplestiltskin came to visit.

"Wow…am I actually hoping Rum will show up and bother me…am I that desperate for entertainment?"

The door from the front opened. It was Baelfire. Couldn't have been better timing.

"Hello sweetheart…I missed you," he called from the down hall. Well, that's what she made of his echo's.

"I missed you as well, come here, by me," she yelled back. Jade dropped her duster on a shelf when she heard footsteps and a tea tray clattering.

"I brought some tea," he said, setting it down on the dining table. Jade smiled as she walked to him with open arms, holding him, her head leaning into his chest.

"I missed you, how was the journey?"

"Good. I sold them all. I have some not so good news by the way," he said. She sat at the head of the table, him nearest at the right. She took her filled cup, squeezing some lemon into the dark brew.

"What is it?"

"Well, I am going to help a family friend out, he needs help building a fence for his farm." She looked up at him, confused.

"So, what's the big problem about it, it's a favor. How far could he possibly be?"

"Well,my nosy little sweet heart,-" Jade gave him a "I really dare you to do that again" look.

"It is going to involve a week away from you, and it's not a favor." He fidgeted, looking into his tea to avoid her gaze.

"See, I could really use the funds." Jade cleared her throat. That's it; she wasn't beating around the bush no more.

"Bealfire, you don't need the funds anymore, you have me. Let me take care of you. I have more money than a single noble woman could have. My power will keep us in stability as long as I live. You don't need to struggle; we will be husband and wife. Wouldn't you enjoy doing anything you want, no worries? Just think of how nice if will be, to live here with me, you can still sell pelts if you like, heck, I can give you anything you desire."

He looked at her, what he desired at the moment from her didn't cost a thing, only her time and participation, observing how her corset flattered her womanly features, her small waist, big hips, her breasts nearly popping over the edge… but he made himself wait until marriage for that. Secondly, he needed to argue a point.

"But, I am supposed to take care of you, you will be my wife. Why do you think iv'e been doing more work than usual? I will be a laughing stock if word gets out I am controlled by my wife." Jade was taken back, nearly shocked at his light insult.

"Baelfire…" she took a breath. "We will be a team. You can still go hunt, to find food for our meals, you can stay home all day and be with our children, I will stay at home all day as well, if we ever have any, it's up to you really, I'm fine either way. I only want to take care of you, because I love you, and luckily I have more resources then I need. Whoever would say such a thing to damage you self-worth doesn't deserve to be in your life." Baelfire quickly looked up at her, then his tea again.

"Yes, about that my sweetheart, id like you to get rid of your power. I am not content with the fact you have something…of his." Jade couldn't believe it, she felt an emotion she's never felt before with him…anger. Why was he attacking her like this?

"Well, first off, it was a deal Baelfire, not his, rightfully mine. I traded something for it. Secondly, I will not get rid of it. It has helped me survive. Lastly, I get a satisfaction when I give some of my spun gold to others, so they can survive. It burdens me with the thought that, while I am so conferrable, in the nicest dresses and jewels, in this place, others are starving; it makes me feel good to redeem myself. You asked me to marry you; you knew I had this power. Hell, I told you the first day we got to know each other." She did her best to remain calm. She always was a feisty woman, and the egotistic, pig like thinking of his was getting on her nerves.

He pushed his tea away, interlocking his fingers together on the table, looking at her sternly through his big, dark, beautiful eyes.

"Jade, I ran away from evil, and power. I will not be involved with it in anyway. You are connected that…Dark One ." Jade couldn't take it no more, her heart pulsed heavily in her body, seething in hurt and anger.

"Bealfire, do not bring me to what I have to say, it will hurt you."

He stiffened, looked more raptly at her, making her nervous, it seemed he stared into her soul, reading her mind, he did it the same way, head cocked slightly to the side, his big dark eyes gazing intently, his lips tightly together, even his strands laid the same way, just as Rumplestiltskin, like father, like son. Jade began to speak.

"It sounds as if your trying to control me, you are my equal, we just have different views when it comes to power. What I have can't hurt anyone, and you don't have to be so traditional!"

"I do not want my children with even the slightest chance of being evil, you told me where you came from, I remember, hell, you still cry for your Mother to love you in your sleep! The fact you have this power, it could be devastating on the both of us. I don't want that thing, the dark one, coming and terrorizing the two of us, let alone our future! I have spoken."

Jade finally lost control of her tongue, he was speaking to the woman who dealt with the dark one, on a weekly basis. He had no idea what she had up her sleeve, or what she was capable of.

"I am glad you spoken…because it's my turn!" she exclaimed, slamming her fist on the table. Baelfire became uneasy. Her eyes appeared to be turning darker, almost black, no hints of green at all left. Is this what happens when someone like her became angry or provoked?

"That monster, dark one, thing, is your father! Whether you like it or not. From what I concluded, after all youv'e told me the last few months, he caused all of that hell and terror, for you! To protect you! I understand he is not pure and righteous in any way, but damn it, he did something for you! He went so far for you! I wouldn't know of having a parent going to the sky for me, to even kill for me! I don't support any kind of violence, or his practices for that matter! You were shown some love from a parent in your life! I barely saw my father, I was away for years, in someone else's home! Why…my mother did it! When I finally got to know him…he died! At the hands of my mother! I am not fond of your father either, but I know, deep down underneath all that evil, all that hard, callused skin, that sinister smile, the slyness, he holds something in his heart for you! He has to!" Baelfire got up quickly, almost knocking his chair back. As nervous as she was, she still held her ground.

"How could you say such a thing to me," he retorted. "I thought you were on my side?"

"I am Baelfire, I am. If I ever see him again, I will tell him to leave me. But, you have to be able to live with my gift. It is part of who I am, just as he is your father. I love you now, and I will love you until death, but you are being so idiotic right now" She got up, pushing her chair in, so calmly, her iris's still completely black.

"I am going to retire for the night. Pick any room to sleep in, just not mine," she said coldly.

Jade pretended not to see the hurt in his eyes when she mentioned those last three words. She wanted to touch him, to kiss him, to show him she cared, after all, he was gone for nearly a week. But he needed to learn the hard way, she was not a woman to push around and tame. Baelfire still stood in his spot, not even looking her way. He just listened to the clattering of her boot heels until the knocks faded away, then a door shutting.

Jade lade into her bed, to angry to sleep.

How dare he ask, no command such a thing! What on earth has possessed by sweet Baelfire, this wasn't him. Why must he have so much pride? Expecting me, to be his little wife, waiting for him to support everything? If my mother could run a kingdom as a widow, I can certainly run my own household! Perhaps I am rushing into this marriage, this forever bond, too quickly. But I want to be his, and he, mine. If it weren't for my power, I would have never met him.

Suddenly, she had a change of heart.

"I will see that vile, demonic, man, at least he makes me feel wanted and encourages me of having any sort of power! I am going to dress in the tightest, most seductive dress I have, what does that damn boy care anyway!" Thank the god's he is leaving early in the morn! Jade drifted off to sleep, off to nightmares.
