Chaos. That was the only appropriate word to describe the situation in the room. After Belle declaring herself as Rumplestiltskins wife, Elsa had sent a zip of magic at her and shortly after explained that she had frozen a piece of Belles head and that she would freeze completely before dawn if Rumple didn't take her to Elsa himself. Only then would Elsa melt away the ice in Belle. With those terms, she'd left the room just as dramatic as she came in and only a minute or so after that, chaos bursted out. Belle was really scared, crying with Ruby and Snow White trying to comfort her. Some people asked where mr Gold or Rumplestiltskin were, but most people ran Emma and David over with questions that they didn't have any answers to. Eventually, Emma had enough so she climbed the chair on which Elsa had recently stood on so that everyone in the room could see her, it was time they got some sort of order.

"Can everybody just shut it! It's obvious she's not going to help Belle unless she gets to see mr Gold, so let's do it this way. Belle, you're going to tell me where mr Gold is and then Ruby and Snow are going to take you home while David, Killian and I go find Rumple. And Granny, you're watching Neal, I think my mom should focus on Belle now and I'm not bringing my little brother out with that woman around. The rest of you can just go home!"

It was a fairly good plan and everyone agreed to it since they had learned that when it came to finding people and solving this kind of stuff, the Saviour really was their best hope. David gave Neal to Granny and then they went after Belle who had already been walked out by her comforters. She told David that Rumple had been working on a spell similar to the one he did on the urn that Elsa was held in, he had figured that the dance would be a good distraction since he didn't want anyone to find out incase that lead to Elsa finding out. It was a good plan, really, except that it had lead to Belles head being slowly freezed from the inside and out, but who could have forseen that?


Granny stayed with her and Rubys car at the town hall and since they'd given Belle a ride there, she, Ruby and Snow had to take Emmas car because Snow and David had walked to the dance early. This lead to David, Emma and Killian having to run all the way from the town hall to mr Golds shop which was hard enough in a suit and pretty much the most annoying thing ever to do in a dress. Emma considered to cut it off by the knees, but then again, it had been really expensive and she liked the dress very much so it seemed like a shame and so she let it be.

Finally they arrived at the shop seeing that the lights were on back in the office so they didn't bother to go through the regular entrance. In the office, they found Rumple seemingly hardworking on something that anyone could see had something to do with magic.

"Rumplelstiltskin!"

David skipped the nice part about asking what Rumple was doing or why he didn't come to the dance, he never did when he was stressed and why should he care about that stuff now? Although Rumple, who didn't know what was going on at the moment got a bit annoyed because when he turned around he had just that look in his eyes and that pitch in his voice that said that they had interrupted him.

"What do you want?"

"Elsa came to the dance, she froze Belles head."

"She did what? Is Belle okay?"

Now that they mentioned Belle getting hurt, Rumple didn't care about them interrupting him anymore, something that all of them knew he wouldn't. All it took now was to get him to calm down a glimse.

"She'll be alright for the night, at least that's what Elsa said, but she will only remove the ice if she gets to talk to you. Now."

"But I'm not done with this spell. Once I am I can capture her, I can..."

"Yes mate, well even if you capture her the spell won't most likey disappear."

At first, Rumple looked at Killian as if he wondered where he came from. Then with a little bit of hate until he finally realized that he was right. Even if they did capture Elsa, the spell on Belle wouldn't break unless Elsa wanted it to and she certainly wouldn't if she was locked up. He sighed.

"Fine. I'll go, let's go get Belle."


It was a tense silence in the car from Belle and Rumples house. Emma drove quietly while trying think positive things, but that only reminded her of Pan and that whole 'think happy thoughts' thing that they had said in the Disney movie from when she was a kid. Not that anyone else in the car seemed to be having such a good time. David felt extremely uncomfortable in the back with Rumple and Belle who were currently sitting close together, he trying to warm her. Killian sat in the front seat next to her not saying a word and therefore gifted them with an awkward silence. She didn't blame him for not saying anything though, she probably would have stayed silent too if she were him. There wasn't really that much to say in this situation that wouldn't come out wrong or be inappropriate. She couldn't hold his hand either since his only hand was on his right, the only thing she could hold was his hook and that would just be strange.

Fortunately, it didn't take that long to drive out to the spot closest to the barn and soon they were walking through the woods. Well, everyone except Belle was walking because she was too weak at the moment, David was carrying her. Rumple had wanted to do it, but Emma had strictly said that he couldn't, cause' if Elsa would try to freeze some part of him it would most likely hit Belle and she would get even worse. Therefore, David was carrying her. Now they were at the edge of the circle of snow that surrounded the barn and Rumple stopped to take a breath. Then they walked straight in.
