Chapter 13 memory loss?
Arya was in hospital for three days and after that, the family tried to help her control her emotions. Two weeks after Cora came to the shop, no one had seen her and Hook still hadn't shown an appearance which only made Rumple think if Cora was telling the truth.
Grace and Arya were at the library with Belle, while Hatter and Rumple were at the shop. All day, the girls and Belle had a mixture of emotion of excitement and nerves; Rumple had told them in the morning that when Belle finishes work he has a surprise to share with the family. The day was going slow but when Belle had finished work, the three of them rushed to the shop.
When they opened the door, Arya and Grace ran to the counter where Rumple and Hatter were. Belle smiled then she closed the door and walked over to join them. When they were all gathered at the counter, Grace said "so are you gonna tell us what the surprise is?"
Rumple smiled then said "we're going to find Bea".
They all had worried looks on their faces then Arya said "papa, we may have the globe to help us but if any of us cross the town line we will forget who we are, just like that dwarf Sneezy did".
"But Sneezy didn't have this" he held up a potion "I've been working on this for a while. You pour this onto an object that is important to you then you can cross the town line with your memories intact".
Belle took a deep breath then said "does it work?"
"We'll find out now. We are going to the town line to test my theory".
Hatter then said "what will you use?"
Rumple smiled then turned around to move the painting from the wall to reveal a safe. He opened the safe then he said "this is Bea's. I'll pour the potion on this and I should be able to cross the line".
They all smiled but then Arya said "we can't go with you, can we?"
Rumple sighed then said "no. I only managed to make enough for one".
There were a few moments of silence then Grace said "well what are we waiting for; the quicker Uncle Rumple goes, the quicker he comes back".
Arya smiled and said "and with my brother".
They all smiled then got into the car. When they got to the town line, and got out of the car, Belle said "are you sure you want to attempt this?"
Rumple caressed her cheek and said "yes. I'm sure it will work".
"But what if it doesn't?"
Rumple kissed her then said "then know that I love you" he then smiles at Hatter and the girls then he crosses the line.
As he turned around and looked at the family, they all had worried looks on their faces then Arya said "Papa".
He smiled at her and said "Arya" he pointed to each family member and said their name.
Belle walked closer to the town line then said "now you can find your son".
Rumple sighed then said "I so wish you were all coming with me".
"It doesn't matter because we'll be here waiting for you when you come back".
"Well isn't this sweet" a deep voice says behind them.
The entire family turns around to find Hook there holding a gun. Before anyone could say anything, he fired to gun and it hit Belle in the shoulder. Belle fell back across the line and into Rumples arms.
As Rumple placed Belle onto the ground he kept repeating her name but then she said "who's Belle?"
Arya looked like she was going to cry then she said "Mama?"
Belle looked at Arya and didn't know what to say. She didn't want to break this little girl's heart but she had no memory of the child.
Hook could see that Rumple was on the brink of tears and said "don't worry, she'll live, she just wont remember who you are or any of your rotten family".
"What you've done can't be undone".
"Now you know how it feels".
The Ground began to shake again and everyone looked at Arya as she shouted "you made my Mama forget us".
Rumple carried Belle across the town line, placed her on the ground then said "Arya, calm down".
"He hurt Mama, he has to pay" and with that Arya's eyes went from brown to gold and Hook went flying into a tree. He landed unconscious and Arya's eyes turned back to normal and the ground had stopped shaking. Arya looked at Rumple and said "Papa, what just happened?"
"It's your powers they're growing, do not fear".
They both saw that Grace and Hatter were trying to calm Belle but it wasn't working. They walked over and Rumple healed Belle. When he finished healing her, a police car and an ambulance showed up and Emma, Charming and Snow came out of the police car and two paramedics came out of the ambulance.
Snow ran to Belle and said "what happened?"
As Snow helped Belle up, Hatter pointed to Hook on the ground and said "he shot her and then she fell across the town line. She doesn't remember who she is".
As Snow was guiding Belle to the car, one of the paramedics checked Belle over then Hook regained consciousness and Emma walked over to him and said "I take it your Hook".
He tried to smile and he said "you go that right beautiful".
Emma bent down and put her hand on Hooks chest to see if he broken anything then he screamed and Emma said "your ribs are broken".
"That must be why it hurts when I laugh" he sat up and then said "you should have seen his face. His one true love gone in an instant, just like Milah crocodile...when you took her from me".
Rumple made his way to Hook and kicked him in the face and said "but you took her first".
As Rumple kicked him Emma shouted "Gold, are you insane?"
As he said "yes I am" he climbed on top of Hook and put his cane to his neck. Charming made his way over to Rumple and tried to pull him off Hook.
Charming said "you can't do this".
Rumple gritted his teeth and said "I can if you let me go".
Emma then said "you don't want her to see that".
"I'm a stranger to her".
"What about Arya?" he calmed down a bit at the mention of her name and Emma continued "I'm sure she doesn't want to see you like this".
Rumple looked in Arya's direction and could see her looking at Rumple with tears in her eyes. He got off Hook and walked towards Arya. Arya started to run to him and when she got close, she embraced him and he was whispering comforting words in her ear.
Hook was loaded into the ambulance and after Belle was checked out, Snow opened the police car door so that they can escort her to the hospital. Arya saw that her mother was being led into the car and she said "where are you taking her?"
Charming then said "somewhere safe".
Arya took a step forward and said "I want to go with her".
Charming looked at Emma and she said "listen kid-"
"No. I want my mama". She started to walk towards Belle but then Emma stood in her way and Arya said "move".
"sorry kid but I can't" Rumple put a hand through his hair because he knows that if Arya goes with Belle, Belle's heart will break as she wont remember who her own daughter is and it will break her. On the other hand, if Arya didn't go it would break Arya's heart.
Arya tried to fight her way past Emma but when that didn't work Arya screamed "MAMA" her eyes turn gold and everyone looked around to see if she had caused any damage.
When everyone looked towards Belle, she was still stood outside the car but she had tears in her eyes and wouldn't stop staring at Arya.
