Jade woke up, as usual, he wasn't next to her. Annoyed at this habit, she got out of bed, walking to her dressing room. Yes…her room without a bed.

She stripped off her petti coats, now completely in the nude, she walked over to her drawers placing on her petti coats, grunting in frustration realizing they weren't unlaced.

As she stood there basking in her naked glory, loosing up her undergarments, she heard his voice.

"You know Dearie, you can walk about the castle like that…I wouldn't mind." She rolled her eyes, keeping focus on her task.

"You know Darling, at some point you need to learn two things…" He giggled as he walked into her room.

"And what would that be my Dearie?"

"Well, learning the word yes…we will chat about that another time…and learning about giving me privacy." He ripped the articles of white clothing out of her grasp, quickly loosening up the strings.

"Well, you do have a good argument my Dearie, but mine is better." She stood there in front of him, shameless, hands on her hips.

"And what would that be," she asked.

"Well, I usually am the one ripping off your cloths, so why bother putting them on in the first place…hhyyymmm?"

"Hahaha, hilarious, I could never beat that," she sarcastically said. He threw the clothes playfully back at her, a tuft of white airy fabric collapsed on her head and shoulders. Rum laughed hysterically watching her claw out of the pile.

"I am glad you so amused darling," she said as she slid her arms though the loosened petticoat and bodice.

"Tighten me up, will you?" Rum gulped. He now wished he knew self-control. He hasn't been able to do anything to her of the intimate sort in two days…this was going to be difficult.

Hands shaking, he took her ties, to avoid touching her soft warm skin; he shuddered when he accidently glided his hand down the sheer fabric in the middle of her back.

"Are you alright, Darling?"

"Ahem…I think so." Jade laughed realizing what a challenge this was for this sex crazed man.

"Come on, you can manage. Enjoy the fact that I am asking you to help me, something I rarely do, Darling." She chuckled again. Her movement made his hand accidently land over her bottom. An agonized groan escaped his throat as he embraced her from behind, laying kisses and nibbles on her neck.

"Please…punish me now," he pleaded, and then continued his affections. Jade turned around, sighing in annoyance.

"Now Darling…you need to learn some self-control….I have." Arms across his chest, hunched inwards, eyes big, his lips tight, brows scowling, was he… pouting? Jade held back the laughter.

"I have you whipped, don't I," she asked as she laced up the rest of the strings, heading to her armoire.

She grabbed her favorite dress, An elegant red velvet one with gold trim on the bodice, sleeves, and hem of her skirt, she skimmed the off the shoulder elbow length sleeves, checking for any damage. He did rip it off to quickly the last time he ravished her in that dress. How she wished he'd trim his nails.

She slide the dress over her, then grabbed her favorite corset, her new leather one trimmed with gold ribbon. Rum appeared to be very unhappy now, he knew at the fact as soon as she slipped on the corset, no more questions asked about getting intimate. It was difficult enough to remove. But then…he was always the spontaneous type.

As they marched down the stair case to the main room, he again begged.

"Please Dearie…I will be gone for a three days!" Jade grabbed him, he became ecstatic, assuming his reasoning worked.

"Wait…what?" He was then again disappointed realizing her grab was meant for something else…anger.

"Well, I need to make a deal, a very good one actually." She didn't like how didn't give her details.

"With whom…speak Darling…now!" He looked at her with a challenging stare.

"You're getting a bit carried away with bossing me around, Dearie."

"If you want anything of the sort from me, I suggest you start talking."

"My rival, Dearie." She scoffed.

"The queen, really? You mean the woman who commands the guards that will probably attempt to take me on a weekly basis as a treasonous prisoner…oh, you men, stupid, dumb creatures! Makes me wonder how you manage to know how to breathe!"

She quickly ascended the stairs, brushing past him. He looked up at the ceiling, then back down…annoyed and frustrated.

"Ugh…she turns me into such a fool sometimes."

From the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of red pacing across the room, the clink of the metal tea set, nearly crashing on the table.

He sat at his regular spot by hers. Furiously she threw in a cube of sugar, angrily squeezing the lemon slice. He felt pity on that splinter of fruit…

She sipped her concoction, giving him a conspicuous stare at him over the rim of the cup. As angry as she was, she did like how he looked so dashing in the royal blue blouse, unbuttoned slightly revealing his chest abit, and his leather vest over his shirt. She already thought about ripping off the leather pants he had on today.

"Goodness, I can be so pathetic sometimes," she thought to herself.

He looked at her with a twinkle in his eye, his classic smirk that could make a sober gargoyle smile back.

After taking another sip she spoke.

"I take it you have something you'd like to share, from the grin you have plastered across your face?"

"Actually, I do Dearie. I was taunting you. I am not going to see the Queen!" He jokingly twirled his arm in the air, Jade wanted to roll her eyes at his theatrics sometimes.

"Well, are you going to leave then, or was that a joke as well?"

"Because I really need some peace and quiet. Staring at a wall in peace is a luxury without that love struck Imp stalking me about the castle…"

He giggled. "Yes Dearie, I am going to call on a few potential clients.

"And it will take you a three days?"

"Yes, a three days, Dearie."

"Alright fine, I can handle that. Anything I should be aware of though?"

"Don't worry your pretty little head Dearie, just if you leave the castle, be very cautious."

"Alright then. So, really, three days?" He looked at her with amusement. He liked where this was going. She got up, and began to unlace her corset, sighing.

"In that case, upstairs…now!" She stalked off; he followed her like a puppy.

Later on…

Jade woke up hearing Rumpel stomping around the room, taking inventory of what was in his pockets.

"You have your quill, Darling?" She asked right before sinking her face into the pillow, he exhausted her to much this time , it seemed as if he literally took three days' worth of lovemaking out of her.

"Yes, thanks for reminding me," he replied.

She sighed as she got out of bed.

"Wait, wait, let me throw on a robe, I will walk you out." He smiled at her.

"Your too kind Dearie."

She threw on her black robe. "So I hear", she muttered.

They met at the doors.

"Well, be careful alright," she requested.

"Of course Dearie." After he spoke, he leaned in , one arm around her grabbing her waist, the other intertwined into her hair, and kissed her. She returned it as well, she smiled as she felt him shudder when her hands slid down his chest.

"I love you, have a safe trip," she whispered.

"I love you as well, I will be back before you know it, Dearie."

Jade watched him walk off, sighing as she closed the door behind her.

"Now for a nice bath and some deep thoughts…"

After the bath

After throwing on her clothes she barely had a chance to wear, thanks to the Dark One, she paced around her room. With every day going by, her powers coming into a completion of a full affect, she was now realizing why her Rumpelstiltskin couldn't stay calm. The energy they possessed was endless. Could it be from the power?

Jade thought about last night, how his reaction seemed so odd about lifting her curse.

How strange of him…why couldn't he give me a chance? Wait…I now realize it, he is afraid I won't care for him. That is probably what will take effect if the curse were lifted. But I could put on an act. Do I really love him? I don't know…blasted curse! Messing with my mind! Considering if I never met Baelfire, and he never cursed me, I would have loved Rum truly. He was after all, there for me when I left it all behind, and he must really care for me after how I treated him so cruelly with my words. Why does he even care for me? From what he told me of that Princess that was his caretaker…she sounds so much better than me. She was a princess helping her family, I…running away from mine. From what it seems, this mystery princess and I are as different as night and day. But he said she did conspire with the queen, but why would a woman do that to him? Oh yes, I know! Because he kills people we love! Oh wait, I am being a hypocrite, I am planning on his demise as well.

She grasped her tea cup, deep in thought, becoming bitter.

Rum, Rum, Rum, you really had a great thing going for yourself, it's unfortunate you had to kill my Baelfire. Oh, how I miss that amazing man. What I'd give to have him call me "Sweetheart," just one more time. We could have had such beautiful children together, the adventures we could have had, imaging it, the gold spinning ex princess, and the Hunter. We could have been so happy. I know I am immortal now, but if I had the choice of living only so long, and to grow old with Baelfire, I would take that choice in an instant. Rum…why couldn't you find another to love you?"

Jade gasped as soon as she felt the cup shatter in her hands, feeling warm, thick liquid trailing down her hands.

"Oh my goodness, I seemed to have cut myself," she said out loud. Nursing her hand with the other, she ran to a specific room done the hall. She recalled a pile of clean rags that sat in there.

Leaning against a table, in deep concentration, Jade wrapped the fabric around her hand, then secured it with some twine she found in the corner.

"I should take off this ring, so it doesn't get caked in blood." Jade tried to take off the ring. Somehow; it wouldn't bulge, as if the thing were permanently stuck to her hand. The more she pulled at it, the more pain she felt in her whole entire body.

Did Rum put this thing permanently on me?

She twisted, gripped, and pulled, until her ring finger felt raw.

"What the heck? Did they Imp actually do it…permanently cement this ring on me…as if I am his? Oh, wait! I am the most powerful woman now in the land…perhaps I can surpass this odd grip sort of a spell and get it off." She flicked her hand towards the ring, then quickly opening her fingers, the after affects were of a light quick shock on her finger. Eagerly, she grabbed the piece, it wouldn't budge.

She decided to take off her engagement ring, Baelfire's ring. If the other wouldn't come off, then perhaps her hands were bloated? Gently tugging at it with care, it slid off effortlessly. She compared her two ring fingers, wondering if one was more bloated then the other…no difference at all!

"Well…that is very strange." Jade decided to move on to other thoughts. Suddenly, she needed to gag, feeling bile in her throat. The nausea was so sudden, occurring without a warning. Strange… ever since she got these powers, she never felt ill from then…

"The blood…I was never good with seeing my own blood…but I never vomited from the sight."

She leaned against the wall, contemplating. "Ugh. I feel like hell, then cut myself, then I lose my snack and tea, oh my…I feel so weak and tired. I must have lost more blood then I thought." She couldn't figure out why her previous experiences were all happing so quickly, lack of a attention span, her moods, the urge to snap at him more than ever, he was often the annoying imp, but lately she wanted to really get her point across for him to leave her be. Then the other problem, her constant exhaustion, everything was a battle lately, even the smallest things like squeezing a lemon, cutting up vegetables and herbs, or even lifting a basket of spun gold, seemed to feel like an anvil. The nausea she just experienced, how odd was that?

Then something he said last week popped into her mind, creating a rising fear within her whole body.

"Jade Dearie…are you with child?" She then lurched over the sink and vomited again. Her heart wanted to explode; she felt chills, tears pooled in her eyes.

"No…no…it has to be from losing so much blood…it was a lot of blood," she told herself.

The Enchantress in denial ran up to the east wing, her sanctuary was there. The highest room, tucked in the top of the tower, it had a small table, and a chair. It was her secret spot.

In her secret room

Jade rested on the chair, fanning herself with her hand. Even though the weather transitioned to fall, it was a very hot day out. She leaned her head back on the chair, closing her eyes, wisps of hair caressing her black brows. Her hair plaited high on her head, a rarity she enjoyed when Rum wasn't around. She always let it hang down; she enjoyed his hands on her tresses. She assumed putting it up wouldn't tempt him to touch her mane.

She drifted back into her thoughts.

"I can't be with child…as much darkness I have within myself…I couldn't create such a sweet, pure hearted child. Look what happened to me…my mother was kind…then she eventually had her downfall into evil. Considering him…the father, it would be to tragic to watch the little thing grow up, constantly fighting to be pure. I fought so hard…and the darkness won. It didn't help throwing him into the mix. It would be unfair to bring a life so innocent into this horrid world, let alone into the waiting arms are parents such as Rum and I…The both of us…don't deserve happiness, I would say only him, but iv'e killed two men already…Imagine it...the Dark One and the Evil Enchantress...expecting.

I have to lift this curse, I have to stop this…I need Bae again. I need him so badly.

I'm feeling so much better, it had to be the bleeding." Jade took off her bandage; her cut was gone, along with the nausea. She smiled, thanking the god's her idea of being pregnant was false.

"Now…who can I go see for advice…that bitch wants me for dead now. Who can educate me in lifting curses and the consenquences?" Jade's curse took over her mind again.

"The hag is probably jealous…being she knows about him and me, and our partnership, then I could only assume how much fun we have together, mentally and physically." A smirked crossed her mouth.

"Oh…again with not being able to concentrate...now…how is as powerful as the queen, knows nearly as much, and wouldn't know who I am?"

One person came to Jade's mind. The sorceress Maleficent. She recalled hearing the Queen mention good things about her. From what Jade remembered, Maleficent was a friend of the Queens she often visited.

A crazy idea emerged…visit the woman? Yes, it had to be done.

Jade stood up, nearly twirling around like a silly young maiden playing with fairies.

"I shall go pay Lady Millie a visit…"

After undoing and brushing out her hair, she ran to the entrance way, grabbing a black leather cloak trimmed in gold, it was her new favorite this month, then her sword.

She ran to the stables and retrieved Midnight.

Owner and steed dashed down the acres and mountains surrounded the castle, then into the enchanted forest. She realized what she missed out on since not riding with her prized horse in so long; the wind in her hair, watching his mane blow about, the speed and excitement of the running creature, how she was so up high, above all.

She slowed down Midnight, she had a long journey ahead of her. She didn't want to overdue the horse. As unmerciful as she was now to others, she could never put stress on her Midnight.

A half hour later

"Whoa boy…slow, whoa there, Midnight." The horse obeyed, slowing its stride. She tugged at the reins. The beast stopped. Jade hopped off, as usual landing so gracefully on her boots, something other woman dared not to do…jump of a horse.

Hearing the creature breathing as if it were tired, she realized it was time for his meal. Clicking her tongue and tugging him towards the right, she got him over towards the desired spot.

Being the obedient, good pet he was, he simply stood there, looking at her. She was tempted to talk to the animal, but she was abit paranoid to being of what she would hear from him. Rumpelstiltskin could…why not she?

She set out a bucket, filling it with oats and hay. The horse glad fully bent down and ate what was put out in front of him.

She felt another presence. It didn't feel very welcoming. She grabbed her sword, turning around. It was a guard from the Evil Queens palace. A very greedy expression on his face.

"Hello Jade, or should I say Rumpelstiltskins whore…I have been looking for you."

He whacked her sword out of her hand hard with his. She stood there, wide eyed, without her sword, she felt incomplete. He was a very large man, so tall and broad. He was way bigger than the last one she turned into a necklace. Before she could raise her arm up, he grabbed her wrist, viciously pulling her to him, her backside landing into his chest. He took his sword, the blade across her neck.

"Now…are you going to cooperate?" Jade did the best she could to wriggle free, this man was worthy to become a chunk of hay, then she would feed him to Midnight, laughing while he grounded the hay down to bits with his large teeth.

"Let me go," she screamed. Midnight whinnied, nearly a scream.

"I said cooperate, either way, the queen wants you dead or alive, you should keep me in good graces, whore!"

Jade suddenly felt a jolt. Then the guard screamed, collapsing on top of her.

It was midnight, he stood up on his hind legs, then kicked him hard in the skull with his hoofs.

Jade crawled away from him, quickly retrieving her sword. She went back to the guard, thirsty for blood shed. Instead, she tucked her sword back into her belt, deciding on magic this time.

With the wave of her arm, and the elegant flick of her hand, silver smoke surrounded the guard. When the smoke cleared away, a beautiful triple tiered necklace, adorned with black and white marquise shaped crystals, the pendant of an elegant blue dragon on the last strand, laid before her.

"Perfect, just what I need," Jade thought. She laughed when she saw her horse munching away, as if he was completely fine with the fact that he aided in the murder of a guard.

Looking down at her horse chomping away at his mane, she began to speak.

"Your such a good boy Midnight, I could never ask for a better pet. It took me nearly a day to spin my gold to pay for you…but you were worth every drop of sweat I put into the labor. When I first saw you, I knew I was meant to take care of you." The horse looked up at her, nose still in the bowl. She laughed.

"I wonder how Rumpelstiltskin treats you…I feel like he has more tolerance to animals then humans."

She grabbed a carrot out of the knapsack attached to his saddle. She bent down to hold it to his dish.

"Actually…he is very kind to me, he sneaks me more carrots then I could possibly eat, I am actually quite sick of them, thank you though Master, if you could kindly save it for later" A higher pitched masculine voice answered back.

Her eyes widened. She looked at Midnight, this time he stood up straight, looked right at her.

"Did you just…so can I?" She was at loss for words.

"Yes master, I can hear you," the voice replied.

"Midnight…is that you?"

"Why are you acting so strange master? You can hear me just fine. The food was delicious by the way; I wished you would feed me at least 7 meals a day. I have been hungrier than ever."

She just stood there, bobbing her head, still having a hard time adjusting to the conversation that took place.

"So….you can speak to me," Jade confirmed.

"Yes."

"Well…Midnight…this is quite shocking."

"Master…could you please scratch my right ear?" Jade laughed as she reached over, scratching the horse's ear. He let out a happy whine.

"Thank you so much master, it can be quite frustrating having an itch you cannot scratch."

"You very welcome Midnight…please, call me Mother instead…Master seems so cold. You are my pet after all."

"I agree to the salutation as well, it seems more fitting…Mother, yes." Jade laughed, she couldn't believe she could talk to an animal. It was amazing!

"Well my boy,are we finished?"

"Yes Mother, we should get going before the sun sets."

"Yes, yes, I agree," Jade said, dumping out the food on the ground for the scavenging hungry animals, then placing the bowl back into the nap sack.

"Are you thirsty, my steed?"

"No Mother, I am content, thank you." She hopped up on the horse, gripping the reins.

"Alright Midnight, after you," she laughed. The horse whinnied back happily, trotting, quickly picking up speed.

"So…can you still hear me," she asked the steed.

"Yes Mother, I can. I'll have to say, I don't know why you can suddenly speak with me, but I appreciate it. It gets lonely. I do like the master's horse, but he is sort of a snob." Jade started to giggle.

"Well, I will always love to talk to you; I am your friend and care taker after all." He happily whined again.

"Indeed you are, Mother. How far are we traveling today?"

"Eh, I believe we have almost a half hour. I am visiting a…acquaintance."

Later on…

Jade and Midnight stood at the long road leading to a vastly large black castle. Conveniently, the draw bridge was set down over the moat, giving them easier access.

"Mother…wait a moment please?" She raised a brow, concerned. Was he alright?

"Yes my Darling?"

"You should disguise yourself, if the Master found you visiting with another magical being…he wouldn't be too pleased. Just a mere suggestion."

"You have a point Midnight, great idea." Jade waived her arm and hand, in the most elegant way as usual. She transformed into a very pale woman, her eyes blue, her hair a platinum blond, shortened to her waist, her dress became a sky blue, her cloak…a green velvet. She didn't like that color combination, but she needed to veer away from her usual look in case she ran into her lover.

"Ok my steed let's move on, shall we? Up that bridge by the way."

"Yes, Mother."

Jade was very nervous, judging by the pulse running through her pet, him as well. She petted his mane, trying to comfort him.

"It's ok my Darling, I will leave you here and I will walk to the door, that way you will be safe."

"I am a mighty animal Mother, it's you I worry more for."

"Don't fear for me, I will be fine. I can do this."

"Alright Mother…if you insist, I shall comply."

They reached the gate, Jade hopped off the horse. Quickly, she gave him a kiss on his nose, as she petted his mane again. Saying goodbye, she turned away and walked to the doors.

She knocked at the door, the large doors opened on their own welcoming her inside.

A older beautiful woman stood a few yards before her. Her hair, so frizzy and blond, in a crazy updo, crowned in a glittering black headpiece, her gown so dark. Jade found the gown so beautiful. She held a staff, topped with a crystal ball like ornament, streaks of rainbow zapping along each other on the inside.

"Hello my sweet girl…what can I do for you?
