Hey guys, I'm not sure how long of the duration between snow's death and when she was revived by the prince. So I am using a 2 week later period of the time bracket. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you so much for the review's. I have a few more chaps, and then I am coming to a close! *wipes sweat off forehead.* lol

Ok…one with Ze Story…nehahahah! Oh, there is a pop up of a very frustrated Snow White.

-2 weeks later-

There was a knock at the door. Rumpelstiltskin got up from his wheel and strode over.

"Knock, knock, knock" again repeated through the door.

"I'm coming, don't have such a fit," he said. His eyes bulged out as soon as he saw a repeat customer of his at his door. This time he knew this individual wasn't here for a deal seeing there was a small army, perhaps 40 of the prince's men standing behind her armed with crossbows and swords.

He looked back at Snow White.

"We need to talk," was all she said. He smiled as he waved her in. He admired the one thing about her she had in common with her sister, she didn't appear afraid of him.

"Come in Dearie, please leave your friends outside" Snow followed behind him.

"Done," she coldly replied.

He led her very near the entrance of the bottom level of the castle…that led to the dungeon. He stopped making her do the same.

"I take it you're here for-"

"My sister you have probably holding prisoner for some time…Rumpelstiltskin." He wondered what thoughts she had in mind. Unlike Jade, she seemed to come off more as a reserved person when it came to her emotions. Thank goodness considering the treatment he got from Jade hearing of the one standing before him at the moment. Snow seemed a bit more…civil.

Perhaps she doesn't know what happened, he thought.

"I didn't hold her prisoner Dearie, she stayed here on her own will."

"Knowing you, she probably had a reason. It doesn't seem like her to be with someone so…different." Snow wanted to say scary, abnormal, evil, sinister, but she didn't want to push her luck. She knew to keep it short with him, and to get the one thing she came for, her sister.

"Name youre price for her, payment is not a problem. I need my sister, she is my maid of honor." Snow flashed a diamond quickly to him.

"Are you still a princess after the marriage?"

"Yes, and my soon to be Duchess Sister… where is she?"

"Well Dearie, she is here,"-he looked down to the ground frowning, the returning to his regular whimsical banter.

"With shades of Gray." Her brows frowning, she gave him a look and tone of accusation.

"Where is she? And what happened?" He couldn't tell if he should tell the found Princess that her sister was out of commission first, or to just show her. He had an idea.

"Follow me Princess." Snow complied and trailed behind him to the depths of the castle. She stopped once she saw him open the door to the room.

She was expecting to see a dingy room with a bed of hay with barred windows. It was the opposite. There were now bars, just a big window with a pair of French doors leading to a balcony outside. The room was a cream color, with the furniture and belongings…it looked like a queens room.

She couldn't figure out why, him out of all people would give a woman, let alone anyone such accommodations.

Then her thoughts stopped once she saw Jade sleeping on the big sofa in the middle of the room. Snow went over eagerly to her sister.

"Jade, wake up, I'm here to take you away from here." She arched a brow when there was no reaction. He leaned into the door way still waiting.

Snow softly swatted Jade's cheek with her palm.

"Wake up Jadie, it's me, your sister. I found you. Let's go home. Your nightmare's over." He clenched his jaw once he heard her last words.

Still kneeling over the sofa Snow observed her waiting for her to wake up.

"Come on now Jade, wake up, you're not that heavy of a sleeper…"- the raven haired princess's eyes bulged out which led her to shake her still unconscious sister.

"Jadie…wake up! You're scaring me!" She shook her harder. Snow then got up and sat in a very small space on the sofa, taking her sister and cradling her in her grasp. She wasn't sure what to do.

"JADIE! JADIE! WAKE UP!" Did he kill her? She began to wonder as she checked her pulse. Her pulse was barely there, but it was beating. Snow held her in close and brought her mouth near her sister's ear.

"JADIE! WAKE UP MY SISTER! WAKE UP, JADIE! No…No…" She looked over to him as he still leaned into the door frame. She stated at him through slitted eyes.

"What did you do, Dark One?" He stood in his spot as he began to speak.

"Question is…what did she do?" She glared at him still.

"What in hades are you speaking of, my sister is literally in a coma and all you can do is speak to me in riddles?"

"She did it to herself. I found her that way. She poisoned herself. My theory is she tried to end her life."

Snow jerked as soon as she accidently pressed her hand across the large swell of Jades stomach. She looked down, a look of horror crossed her face.

"How is she …is she, pregnant? Who's the father?" She looked up at him as he let out a victorious happy laugh.

"Well silly Dearie, let take a guess, seeing her little plaything was dead long before I got a hold of her, and she's had no other suitors besides me…" Snow nearly gaged as she still embraced Jade looking at him.

"Are you saying…" she couldn't finish. It was too hard for accept. She would never go for a man like him. She preferred the gallant, pure hearted hero type. How did she end up with him? What in hell is going on?" How could she even touch a man as feared and evil as him, so full of darkness? Does he even have feelings, or a heart?" She looked back down at her sister moving her strands over her limp shoulder.

"How did you even get to her?" He strode in closer stopped at the vanity a few feet across from the sofa.

"Well, she came to me one day, very bitter over what her mother did to you. She made a deal with me."

"What deal," she asked.

"Well, simple really, the gift to make straw into gold, and for me, a very useful warning. Seems your Queen was planning a mighty attack on my castle. Jade does seem to keep her word. She was right. He pulled out the bench and sat down.

"Well, I took quite a liking to your sweet baby sister. She really was quite a catch, looks, courage, cleverness, always on the run…such a go getter. Thoughts of her couldn't escape my mind. So I started pursuing her, developing quite the intriguing friendship. I needed more. One day when I thought she felt the same…she lied. A habit I've learned that she's had. So I placed a love spell on her, nehahahahihi!" He laughed. Snow glared at him as she braced her grip around Jade. As she attempted to speak, he cut it off.

"Na ah ah ah, not finished my dear. So, as I mentioned prior, things were great. We had a rough start at first. Got rid of the…obstacle. I noticed she doesn't ease away grudges so gracefully. Took her near a month to come around. She stayed here on her own you know, seeing she knew I could find her. But, as you can see,-" he pointed to her small pregnant stomach," she has come around quite a bit, to where she was intimate with me…quite a few times.

"You monster," she uttered. Quickly she held Jade close enough to where she gave her a light peck on the forehead.

"You're with me now Jadie, you'll be safe. I'll get you out of here," she whispered, still holding Jade close, she looked over at Rumpelstiltskin.

"So, let me get this straight, you manipulated her, you tricked her into thinking you were mere friends when you had ulterior motives. Then you curse her! Then you seduce her!"

"Oh trust me Dearie, the curse made it way easier…consensual actually. I could make her do anything I please…"

"My sister is on the brink of death and you have enough nerve to speak of her that way? Excuse me?"

"Aw Doll, did I strike a chord?" She looked at him bewildered.

"How dare you…" she nearly hissed.

"How long has this went on for, how long has she been here? Did she even tell you of her association with me?"

"Hymmm, nearly a year dearie, yes, she spoke of you often."

"Then didn't you tell her where I was?"

"Now why would I do that seeing I had plans with her as an ally?" Snow quickly closed her eyes pushing away the tears. This was all too much to take in. Carefully she set the sleeping beauty back against the sofa.

She got up, hand on dagger and walked towards him.

"You would honestly over look the fact she was in need of family for your power, and her as an ally? What kind exactly? Tread carefully Dark One," she warned.

"Now now Dearie, I know you for you're lady like etiquette, you couldn't hurt a fly. Obviously you couldn't hurt the queen, as I noticed she is still kicking and scheming.

"So, I was in this castle that day, where was Jade?" Her question sounded more of a demand.

"She was out." He actually knocked her out with a sleeping spell. He knew if she saw her sister, she would surely start uproar.

"Out where?" Snow White looked at him accusingly.

"Who knows Dearie, I am not a keeper." She clenched her teeth as she spoke.

"In a way you were…" She quickly took out her dagger holding it at him.

"Who-ho-ho!" He exclaimed as he jumped back.

"Finish the answer please…you would honestly keep her family from her for you own selfishness? What ally!"

"Well dearie, see, it's simple really. She is the Queen's daughter, so she obviously inherited something useful…her darkness. Now, if she harnessed it, it would emerge into something great, and I took a fancy to her, so, I and her. We were unstoppable."

"You speak as if she was unstoppable…"

"Yes, I gave her some of my power, now the queen has two people far more powerful than her."

"You tuned her towards evil…twice. You bastard." He laughed.

"Well Dearie, politics are shady you know!" She turned away speaking over her shoulder.

"How do you sleep at night knowing you think this way…do you even have a heart?" She then furiously strode off.

After a good 15 yards, she nearly jumped as he materialized in seconds.

"And where are you going Dearie?"

"To get some guards to help me carry my sister out!" He grabbed her shoulder; she did her best to not cringe, or let out a scream seeing how dark his eyes were.

"I feel that is not the wisest choice Dearie. She is staying here." Snow became so angry her whole body shook.

"What do you want for her? I will be in power again, I can give you anything…name it!"

"I have what I want. More than I need. She is in her room, with me under my watch."

"No!" She immediately remembered that he could kill her with the snap of her fingers.

"Wait…just, please let me take her, you can come visit her. Please Rumepelstiltskin. She is so dear to me."

"As she is to I…" he said coldly

"I want to take her, so we can awake her. There has to be away, there are so many people who could help…" He gripped harder into her shoulder.

"OW!" He smiled seeing her flinch. She took out her dagger and pointed the tip into his throat. He loosened the grip.

"Please Rumpelstiltskin…I surely don't want to resort to violence. Find it in your heart. If love something…let it go. You're the one who helped me figure that out."

"But I was wrong Dearie…wasn't I? You two found each other," he sneered.

"Yes…but in this situation, you're right. This one involves all three of us now." Snow put down her dagger. She found it strange how no matter how much he angered her, she still couldn't strike him.

Snow kindly gripped his arm and starred at him with kind eyes.

"Please, can't we at least compromise?" He simply looked at her.

"I know foretellers, they can perhaps find her true love," she offered. He shook his head.

"No Dearie, he doesn't exist." She looked at him intently.

"What are you referring to Rumpelstiltskin?" He clasped his hands somewhat together trying to find the words. But he couldn't no matter how hard he tried.

"He…I killed him. He was the "Obstacle". Her jaw dropped.

"Why would you do such a thing?" Her eyes still were wide open indicating her astonishment.

"Because Dearie, love makes you sick…in your head." She held her fingers across her lips not sure how to handle it.

"You really loved her…didn't you. You did all of those horrid things…so she could be with you."

"Yes Dearie. As you said."

"Did she…did she tell you she loved you?" He thought back to when they had that happy day, when they stood in front of that tree, how she seemed to show a legitimate love. How she looked into his eyes and said those three words…yet, she does this, she attempts suicide.

"Yes, she has. So many times." He hated manipulating the woman who would hold so much value to him with this upcoming curse, but he thought lying wouldn't hurt…just this once. Even though he knew deep down his lies caused Jade so much pain leading to her down fall.

Snow sighed.

"She called me "Snowie" you know…when we were young. Now and then she'd slip up when we were older. Were eight years apart you know. We caused mischief together since she learned how to walk. It's amazing how powerful a sister's love, or a friendship could be. We promised to make each other maids of honor when we got married…whether or not we liked out future brother in law. I…I came here in hopes she would be…awake. I really do need her in my life. Finding my prince, and knowing how my life would turn out…that's a good ending. But with my sister in my kingdom…it would be a great ending."

Rumpelstiltskin began to feel something horrible, dark, and some form of disgust at himself. Was it guilt?

"When do you get married Dearie?"

"In two months' time." She did her best not to smile seeing she made a break though.

"Now…I will make a compromise." She nodded her head.

"Ok…please tell me, Rumpelstiltskin."

"Let me have her for two more weeks. Then you can…have her. I need a while to say good bye. And on one more condition…you let me see her. She really cared for me." He somewhat lied, "but what Snow didn't know couldn't hurt her", he thought.

"Well…alright. We have a …compromise. Please don't back out on your deal. If you truly love her, you will understand."

"I do Snow, I do."

"Well..alright. I shall see you 14 days from now at sun set. Good-bye for now."

"Good-bye Dearie." He shut and locked the door behind her deciding to go back to Jade's room.

As he looked down at her, he somewhat smiled. His heart still ached. He really did love her. He knew she loved him as well, but it wasn't as much as his. In a way, she did accept him for who he was, and she did openly admit they knew they weren't destined by true love. He forgot how it felt to be guilty. The Dark One never felt so guilty since years ago, when his son disappeared.

At that moment, he came to the sad realization…you cannot be "The Dark One," and experience any successful form of love."

As he looked down at her carrasing her cheek, he spoke.

"I will find you, and I will have you Dearie…no matter what because I love you."
