"Belle." She looked at him calmly. "True love can break and curse." She looked down heart broken. "Than I a I'm not your true love?" He smirked.
"No dearie you are!" She looked back at him. "B-but you just said." He smirked and waved his hand making his dagger appear. "Any curse but mine I'm afraid. The only way to end mine is with this dagger."
Belle eyed the dagger with his name on it. "What is it?" He exhauled. "I am not the only dark one there have been thousands more and there will be more long after me." He gulped having her full attention.
"This dagger is what gives the dark one there powers. It also controls the dark one. I would have to do anything the person who had this campanded I'd have no choice no matter what it is. That is why I keep it safe. The only way to ride me of my power is for me to die at the hands of the dagger. Then whoever killed me with this would gain the powers and becane the new dark one."
Belle gulped. "So you can't be freed?" He shook his head and the dagger vanished. "No. Not even by true loves kiss. But I will be a better man for you. I will do the right things." Belle smiled. "I love you Rumplestiltskin!" He smiled and put his forehead on hers. "And I love you!"
" Touching!" They turned to see the queen standing in the door way. "Regina what do I owe this displeser?" Rumple smirked and got of the table. "I need to make a deal imp." Rumple turned back to Belle and smiled at her. "Belle why don't you go to the library why I discus matters with the queen."
Belle got off the table and walked past the queen coususly. Regin giggled as she went by. Once Belle was out of the room Regina rased her hand making the doors close.
"You are in love! Shocking." Regina stepped in the room fully. "What is it you want?" Rumple asked annoyed. "I want my happy end you know that!" She glared at him.
"Well dearie I taught you magic now use it!" Regina chuckled. "I have the dear king is dead and mother is gone now all I have left is to ride myself of the brat Snow White!"
Rumple giggled. "All thanks to me!" He said pointing at himself. "How is she?" Regina growled. "The farest in the land! Awake and leding a revolt against me!" Rumple giggled.
"So stop her!" Regina gave him a look. "I can't that's my proble! I've faught in villiages and." Rumple's face turned dark. "Don't you mean you've torched them? Well isn't that why they call you the evil queen? And it seems you no longer have George's help!"

Regina smirked and shook her head. Rumple waved his hand in the air and the cristal ball Jefferson bought him showed Snow White in the woods. "Where ever did you get that trinked?" Rumple griniced.
"Jefferson." Regina had a displeased look on her face at the mention of the hatter. "Look here!" Rumple pointed at the ball. " Snow white is traveling alone on her way back to her Prince." Regina smirked. "Foulish of her." The picture faded. "Quite now if that's all you require you can leave your magisty."
Regina smirked and turned to go. "Yes well thank you." She turned and waved her hand making the doors open.
Snow White walked in the forest when she heard a horse. She stopped turning to see her step mother. "Leaving so soon dear?" Snow's eyes widend. "Regina!"
Regina chuckled and dismounted the horse. "What do you want?" Regina glared at her step daughter. "I want my happy ending and that is with your head!" Snow took a step back.
"But I see now that I will never have it. I can't kill you and I can't poison you so what's left?" Her eyebrow came up. "Give up this grudge Regina free yourself and find happiness." Regina cupped her hand making Snow raise into the air.
"I had it and you destoryed it!" She made her hand into a fist. Snow hung in the air holding her neck. "N..n..n." Regina released her. "What?" Taking a deep breath she screamed. "Now!" Regina's eyes widend seeing Charming step out from behind a tree and the blue fairy appear using magic to freze the queen.
"This was a trap!" Charming helped Snow to her feet. "Are you alright Snow?" Snow keep her eyes on Regina. "I will be when this is all over."
Rumple watching it all go down in his crystal ball. "Great." He turned hearing Belle walk in."Rumple?" Belle walked into the room. "Yes?" He sofend up. "I finished what you asked it's all clean."
Rumple giggled and snapped his fingers having changed into a nicer outfit. "Thank you Belle I'll be back soon." She bit her lip. "No really this time I will. I promise." Belle smiled and kissed him. "And I'll be here when you get back." He smirked and walked out.
"Dark one?" Belle looked up from her book. "He a he's not here sorry." Belle's eyes widend seeing Robin standing in the dark castle.
"You- your okay!" Belle hugged him. "I'm happy to see are as well." Belle looked him over. "You are a father now?" She asked bitting her lip. Robin smiled and shook his head. "Yes a boy."
Belle smiled. "Congratulations you and your wife must be very happy." Robin looked down. "She - she died." He looked down. Belle gasp. "What? How? I-I am so so sorry Robin!" Robin shook his head.
"I'm afraid my line of work doomed her. I-I made this deal with the dark one so that I would have the weath to run away with my boy and give him his best chance and that means I will no longer be Robin Hood " Belle shook her head.
"Well Rumple is away but he spun gold yesterday. Come I'll take you." Robin shook his head. "I-I don't have what he wanted. I failed." Robin looked down. "Still come." She smiled. "I came to face the beast and make a new deal for my son. Even if it means I die."
Belle took his hand and shook her head. "No. Rumple isn't a beast anymore. True love has change him. Here!" She picked up the gold straw. "Who is love?"
Belle smiled. "You?" She shook her head. "Yes." Robin hugged Belle. "Than you Belle you've done so much for me." She smiled. "Take all you can carry and be safe and happy with your new life."
Cindercella stood outside the castle and gulped. "A little bird told me you wanted to see me dearie?" She turned to see Rumple standing in the sadows. "Yes."
Rumple smirked and steped out looking her over. "My my you are showing arn't you?" She used her cloke to cover her belly. "What is it you want mm?"
She bit her lip. "I wish to alter our deal." Rumple gigled and steped closer. "I don't do that. But out of curiosity what would it be?"
"I'm having twins." He grinned.
"Is that so? Oo lets have a look." The dark one touched her large stomach. "Yes yes.And youd want what? To trade both your children?" She shook her head. "Why ever would you do that?" She gulped.
"My husband is troubled. Our crops are dieing are people are suffering. We are loosing money. We can't suport ourseves the children or our people." Rumple giggled.
" So you'd trade this second child for what. comfort?" She shook her head. "Yes we-we can always have more child but I can not make dead crops grow." Rumple was thinking it over knowing this was a trap.
She pulled a contract out. "In exchange for the second child you will see to it that our land is once again fortal. Do we have a deal?" Rumple gave her a look.
"Yes! Yes we do have a deal dearie." She smirked. "Then sign on the doted line ...Please." She pulled out a red quill.
"Oh what a lovely quill! Where ever did you get it mm?" She blinked. "I- it's from our castle." Rumple plucked it from her hand examining it. "You know the only way to stop me is to use magic and we all know that all magic comes with a price!"
He could feel the magic in the quill. " And if you were to use this to say inprison me. Your det to me would only grow." She shook her head. "Why-why would I want to harm you? Your help me and my kindom?"
Rumple grinned. "Yes your right." He gave her a look. "Just sign it please." Rumple signed the contract and blue magic froze him. "You've made a big mistake dearie!" Cindy started breathing hard. "David! Thomas!" Rumple looked at her. "No one breaks deals with me dearie. No one!"

"He's right. But the time will come when you need something from me." Chaming chuckled. "Not likely Dark one we don't need your help anymore." Rumple giggled making Snow and Cindy flinch. "We will see Charming. We will see." Charming gulped.
Belle passed in the dark castle. "You called?" She turned to see Jefferson smirking. Belle shook her head and quickly walked to Jefferson. "Rumple is missing!"
Jefferson removed his top hat. "And your worried again?" Belle shook her head. "He promised he'd be back this time and he's been gobe merely four days! You have to help me!"
Jefferson smirked. "Look I've know the dark one longer than you and he." Belle gripped his shirt. "He promised me! Something is wrong I feel it." Jefferson licked his lips. "What's in it for me?"
