Chapter 1

Meeting

It had been 13 almost 14 years since that fateful day she had been brought to the door of the castle. Many things had happened in those years. She had learned how to use her power. It was a power that she had as far back as she could remember. From what her family told her she had it even before that. She was out riding for a while to clear her head after her training with Rumple. He had pushed her farther and farther lately. She was just a girl and she though she might break. She got angry and told him she was leaving for a while. She would be back but she needed a break. She had a lot to think about. Her family was planning her a grand birthday ball in the coming week so she just wanted some time to be a normal girl for once.

When she got back to the stables Rumple was there waiting for her. She ignored him until she had put her horse in his stall. He told her that his son had gone missing and he needed her help to find him. She reluctantly agreed to help. The only reason she did was because Baelfire was one of the few people who knew that she was very powerful but still treated her like a normal human being. They had followed a trail leading to a small town. They found a group of people standing in the court-yard. They were discussing setting up a search party. He told her to stay there and keep watch. He entered out into the court-yard and began yelling at the people.

"You think you can hide him from me? Where is he? Where's my son?" He yelled angrily.

"He's not here dark one. I Swear." The man standing on the pedestal pleaded.

"Don't Lie to me magic has led me to this rat hole of a town. His trail ends here in Hamilin. I know your hiding him from me." Rumple yelled.

"No..No we're not. Many of our children went missing last night. Lured from their beds by some unholy music.." The man told him.

"What kind of music?" Rumple asked.

"From a piper. Only the children could hear it. Some of them tried telling their parents but no one believed them. They were sent back to bed and this morning they were gone." He explained.

"And who was playing it?" Rumple asked.

"No one saw his face. Only a figure hidden by a pied cloak of multicolored patches. Leading the children from their homes and into the forest. Don't you see it has to be the same man who has taken your son." The man said.

"Then whoever this pied piper is he's about to play his last note." Rumple said.

He came back to her and told her to keep up. She followed.

"What are you going to do Rumple?" She asked.

"It's what we are going to do dearie. We are going to track down this piper and he will pay for taking my son." He said walking off.

She decided to sit down for a bit to figure out a plan. It didn't take long before Rumple was back from wherever he had gone. She never really bothered to ask when he walked off. She just found something else to do to keep her busy. She knew he would eventually be back. He always came back.

The ended up sitting on a roof overlooking a part of the town. They would wait until the music came and the boys left their houses. They would follow the boys to the piper and Rumple would have his revenge. They sat there for a good long while and she drifted off. She was awoken by the beautiful sound of a flute playing.

"Rumple? Do you hear that?" She asked.

He simply nodded and continued watching. She watched too but was distracted by the music. It felt like it filled her soul. She noticed as Rumple did that the boys were climbing out of their windows to the ground. It didn't take them long to catch up to the boys. They noticed a big fire burning and loud tribal like music going on. As they approached they saw the boys dancing around the fire being loud and rowdy. The pipe music had stopped until they got to the clearing. As they started toward the fire the music resumed. She felt it hit her soul again even stronger. She was mesmerized by the sound.

"What are you doing?" Rumple asked.

"I..I need to catch my breath." She lied.

"I will get Bae. If you're not there your on your own. We will meet you back at the house." He replied coldly.

She nodded before backing into the woods a bit to lean against a tree and watch. She watched as Rumple went to the piper breaking the pipe he had in his hands. She felt a moment of relief when the music stopped. But she also felt upset for some reason. He talked to the cloaked man and suddenly had a shocked look on his face as the cloaked man pulled off his hood. She noticed that he wasn't a man at all. He was a young guy. He looked to be maybe 17 or so. She watched as they started to talk. As she watched and looked at the boy she felt something. It was like her power was on over drive. It was coursing through her and making feel different. She sat down to let herself calm down. She still had a view of what was going on. They continued to talk and she had settled her power down. She saw Rumple grabbing boys when she decided she should help. She made her way to the fire but stopped dead in her tracks when she looked up and caught the eyes of the boy. She felt a strange surge run through her body. It was similar to the first but different. Stronger somehow. She didn't take her eyes off the boys eyes. His green eyes staring back into her bright blue ones. He was looking at her like he was trying to figure out what she was. He was confused but she wasn't sure why. She couldn't tell what was going on with her power but before she knew it Rumple had taken a hold of her arm and she was transported away in a red mist.

It took her a minute to realize what had happened. Rumple had transported them all back to his home. Bae and Rumple started to argue almost immediately so she made her way outside to wait. She needed the air anyway. She couldn't seem to shake the feeling she had. The look they shared still in her mind and making her power surge.

She sad outside the window listening to them argue. Before she knew it the door had swung open and Bae came charging out. Rumple came out after him.

"Just leave me alone." Bae yelled back at him.

She stood up and stopped Rumple from following him.

"I'll talk to him. He needs to calm down. I think whatever power that boy was using made him feel anxious. I know it made me feel strange." She said.

Rumple looked at her strangely. He wasn't sure what she meant by making her feel strange.

She wondered what the look he gave her was but turned from him to follow Bae.

"Just keep him safe." Rumple said going back into his home.

She chased after Bae and caught up with him a short ways into the woods.

"Why are you following me Kaia?" He said stopping.

"I just wanted to make sure you were OK." She said.

"Did he send you after me?" He asked.

"No. I told him i would come talk to you." She told him.

"I don't want to talk." He said angrily.

"Fine just listen then. Your father cares about you Bae. He wouldn't do anything that would hurt you. If he thought you were in danger you have to belive that he did what was best." She said. "Why would you think i was in danger? Why would he?"He asked.

"I have been around your family for a long time Bae. As far back as i can remember i have been here learning and training to control my power. I have seen the way he is with you. What he does is for your benefit. I know that to be the truth." She said.

"I don't understand why he wont let me leave. I just wanted some time away and the piper wasn't going to hurt me." He said.

"I don't know about that. There was something up with him." She said.

"What do you mean?" Bae asked.

"I'm not sure. There was something strange about him. I felt a power from him. A very strong power. I can't explain it but it didn't feel right." She told him.

They talked a bit more and she calmed him down getting him to agree to go home. She walked with him and they said good-bye. She told him she would be heading home. She didn't go home however. She transported herself back to Hamlin. She had to see him again. She had still not shaken the feeling that was coursing through her. She once again followed the haunting sound to the woods. She stood against a tree with her hood up just watching and listening. At first it still seemed to pull at her soul but the longer she stood there the more the music soothed her. It was like a lullaby. She was staring into the flame enjoying the music when she felt as though she was being watched. She glanced up to see the boy Rumple had called Peter staring at her. He had the same look as before. It was as though he was confused by her. He continued the music for a short while and then he stopped playing. There were around 10 boys hopping and dancing around the fire. They shouted and whooped not even noticing that he had stopped playing and was just watching her from the other side of the flames. He started his way around the fire not taking his eyes off her.

It wasn't until he got closer to where she was standing that she turned to retreat into the woods. She didn't run but she moved quickly. She stopped when she heard him yell to her.

"Wait!" He yelled.

She stood at the spot not turning around. He heart was racing. She could feel him moving closer to her. His aura was strong. She could feel the auras of people with magic but she had never felt anything like this. He moved closer to her. Talking again she felt shivers down her spine.

"Who are you Girl?" He said. She still didn't move. Still facing away and her hood covering her face she replied quickly.

"No one." She said.

She started to walk away again slowly. He quickened his pace and caught up with her. He was right beside her when she stopped again.

"What do you want?" She asked.

She turned her head and caught his eyes again. There was a feeling in her soul that was so strange to her. It was strong and powerful. It was like her soul was attracting to him. Like her soul knew him. He caught her eyes back and just looked at her not saying a word. He finally broke the silence but not her gaze.

"A name..Just your name." He said.

Stepping close to her. He was a bit taller than her. The closer he got the more the feeling grew. She could feel her power stirring inside her. As she continued to say nothing he put his hand out and touched her arm. She felt a shock from him. Her magic reacting to him. He pulled his hand away quickly realizing he had actually been shocked when he touched her. He kept her gaze.

"Please." was all he said.

"Why would i give you that. I don't even know you." She said.

"I'm Peter." He said.

She smiled at him and then vanished.
