Hi people. One more chapter and the book is finished!
Enjoy!
Chapter 30: Peter.
I sensed someone I loved next to me.
"I thought Rumple was going to kill me in my sleep," I said, opening my eyes and sitting up. Mia sat on a chair, her short hair framing her face.
"Did i ever tell you how much I like your hair?" I smirked. Her face remained emotionless.
Something pinched my arm. I looked down and saw the black cuff. I didn't have magic.
"Ah, so that is why," I said.
"No," she whispered. "You are alive because I want to say goodbye."
"He will kill me," I said.
Mia nodded.
"I have to know," She said.
"Know what?"
"If you… If you…"
"If I love you."
Mia nodded, standing up, and sitting next to me.
"I do, and will always."
"What about-"
"Felix? He was my best friend. My first real friend. So, in a way, there are two people I love the most." I said, putting my arm around her.
"Why did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Cast the curse." She said, looking at me.
I took a breath. "No matter what, they will never forgive me. I did it so we could get a life together. I know," I continued before she said something. "It would be worth it to grow old with you, but they won't let me."
She leaned in. "No matter what, I will always love you."
I closed the gap. She wrapped her arms around me. I depend the kiss, placing one hand on the back of her head, and wrapped my other arm around her waist.
Suddenly, a blue light went around Mia. She gasped, the fell to the bed unconscious.
"Don't worry, she will live," Rumple said, strutting into the room.
"You've taken away my magic," I said. "Thats why it's so easy for you to, strut around and pose now."
Rumple glared at me, and withdrew a knife.
"You know, our father never set a good example for us," I said, stoking Mia's hair. "So, as a lesson from eldest to youngest, never make a cage you can't get out of!"
I grabbed my the cursed cuff and pulled it off my arm.
"I made this cuff, you know," I said, watching Rumple step back in fear. "It doesn't work on me. But on you," I used magic, and the cuff was not on him. "Lets see how you do without magic."
"Now," I said. "Down boy!" I thrusted my hand foreword. Rumple flew backwards, hitting the wall.
I walked toward him, and kicked his face. His nose started to bleed.
"I have come too far for this. For them," Rumple gasped.
"For your son?" I asked "No. Because soon that fine green smoke will fill their lungs, and fog their brains. Well, at least some of them. I can't kill Hook, and Mary Margret was kind to Mia. Oh, and I know how Henry tried to spare my life, so, as thanks, I will let him live. The rest of them, because they mean the most to you, I am going to take there lives. And you aren't going to do a thing to stop me. You know why?"
Rumple shook his head.
"Because without magic, you are right back where you started, the village coward." I got up, picked up Mia, kissed her forehead, then carried her, bridal style, out the door.
Walking down the street, I noticed Regina had the curse.
I summoned it. They all looked in my direction.
"Mia!" Mary Margret shouted.
"He had the-" Hook started. I waved my hand, and they all froze in place.
"Curse?" I asked. "That I do."
"I should probably warn you," I said, looking at all of them. "Most of you are going to die. Well, Hook," I said "You are lucky Mia loves you. And Mary Margret," I said, turning on her. "You were very kind to Mia. Oh and Henry," I said, smirking at him. "Thank you, for trying to convince your parents to spare me."
I heard a gasp. Mia woke up.
I placed her down on the ground. She wrapped her arms around my neck to stable herself.
"Lets go," I said, taking her to the clock tower.
"Peter," Mia said.
"What?"
"I want to forget." She said, looking up at me. "I don't want to know the pain."
"But-"
"Give me new memories," She begged. "Give me a family. But, don't make me forget how much I love you."
I nodded. kissing her.
The smoke filled the room, and we vanished.
