Once Upon A Time What If
Chapter 12 Milah
Gaston saw the marks on Belle's neck and scoffed. "Tell your father they are marks from his hand!" Belle's eyes widened and she touched her neck. "Gaston." He held up his hand. "I pray that now you are free from his spell." He turned and walked away. "What are you doing?" He smirked looking at her. "Going after the beast." Belle stood and followed him. "Gaston. Gaston no no he'll kill you!" Gaston stopped and shook his head. "Are you afraid he'll kill me or I'll kill him?" Gaston did'nt wait for an answer. Belle held her head. "Father!" She ran to get her father.
King Maurice looked over his map with his knights. "Father!" He turned his head to see Belle. "What is it?" He walked to her seeing she was shaken. "B-Belle what happened to you?" Belle looked down ashamed. "The beast got away!" They both turned to see Gaston holding his sword. "I am sorry to say it was my fault." The king's eyes grew in anger. "I went to take it some food and when I got there he had Belle my the throat. I-I did what I could to get her free but in the struggle the monster got the dagger from Belle.
I am sorry and I plan on going after it." Belle watched Gaston. "All the matters is Belle is safe." Maurice touched Belle's face. Belle looked down and gulped. "We may not have the protection any longer. Gaston we need to talk." Gaston gave Belle a look and walked to the map. "Go on and rest my dear." Belle shook her head and smiled sadly at her father and walked out.
Belle walked to her mirror and closed her eyes. "I love you Rumplestiltskin."
Rumple looked into his mirror seeing Belle and groaned. "And if you can hear me they are comming after you. Please don't kill them. They think I'm under your spell or cursed but if only it were that easy. I don't think I'll ever truly be over you but if you don't want me anymore so be it. I broke your trust but if you only understood why."
Rumple waved his hand and Belle dissapeared. "Let them come." he sad sadly feeling that he'd lost not onlt Belle but Bae.
"Belle!" Belle turned to see her father. "We need to talk. I know you've been through alot but we have to consider that the beast will no longer hold out on his end of the deal since you are free."
Belle shook her head. "Father I-I don't understand?" Maurice frownd and Gaston came into view smirking. "You and Gaston have much to talk about." The king turned and left.
"Belle no matter what you think of me I do care." Belle took a step closer. "Gaston I-I don't understand you lied and said Rumple got away because of you. Why?"
Gaston smirked."Belle we are going to marry." Belle shook her head. "No-no Gaston I'm already married!" Gaston's face twisted in anger and he hit the table.
Rumple was in his tower with a coldren bubbling. He placed different ingredients into it finishing with an eye ball. Grabbing the cristal ball he held it over the mist and closed his eyes. A picture of Belle fighting with Gaston appeared. Rumple shook his head and dropped the ball shattering it as he hobled backwards.
Belle jumped and moved back. "Belle you have no choice in the matter! You don't think I knew why you made that deal to begin with?" Belle gulped. "You wanted out of our marrage!" Gaston grabbed Belle's shoulders tightly.
"I don't love you!" Gaston scoffed. "You learned to love the monster so you can learn to love me!" Gaston was in her face. "He's not the monster Gaston you are!" Gaston growled and shook Belle violently.
"Do you honesty think I want to be with a whore? A girl who willingly gave in to a monster? You think I'm a fool? I know you shared his bed! It's unnurving Belle! I'm doing this out of the kindness of my heart." Belle looked down at the floor face full of fear. "Now I deserve the best!"
Belle looked into his eyes. "And that is you! From the moment that I meet you I knew you'd be mine. We will marry and we will rule this kingdom together!" He said grinting his teeth. "Your not getting out of it this time!" He let her go and stormed out of ber room. She began to cry.
"Did I come at a bad time?" Rumple turned to see Hades standing in his castle. Rumple waved his hand and his dagger appeard. Hades smirked. "Put the squiggly little thing away. I'm not here to fight. I came to cash in." Rumple gave the king of the underworld a look.
"And what would that be dearie?" Hades waved his and the cristal ball appeared fixed. "See I was watching you like I normally do." Rumple gave him a look. " I do love watching the living and I love to keep up with the dark one. Out of the thoughsands of dark ones you are truly the best Rumplestiltskin."
Rumple smirked. "And I saw you doing magic and looking into your cristal ball. I saw you get shooken by the picture of your former maid slash wife and you being a butterfingers dropped it!" Hades chuckled.
"Now I got to thinking why would the picture of your little wife shock you so. Then it hit me. You were'nt trying to see her but your child!" Rumple blinked. " And insted of a picture of Balfire was it?" Rumple looked down with a sad look in his eyes.
"You saw Belle. Now why would that shake you so much if the cristal was showing you your child. Your unborn child." Rumple shook his head. "No." Hades chuckled. "Yes! And we had a deal." Hades made a scroll appear in his hand. "Now long ago you made a deal with me." He unrolled the contract.
"See you signed your name right there!" He said pointing to Rumple's name. "Saying that I would get your second born child. Now I can cash that in at anytime I want." He grinned wickedly. Rumple gulped.
"Now here's the deal. I want to make a new deal. You help me out and I'll rip up this contract and you don't have to tell Belle that she's pregnant and that the baby belongs to me all in one breath. Do we have a deal?"
Belle stood in the war room with Gaston and her father when the doors opened and a woman walked in. "Sorry I'm late. I just do love weddings!" Zelena smiled. Belle blinked and took a step closer. "I'm sorry but who are you?" Zelena grinned.
"Well dear I'm your wedding planner Zelena!" Belle's eyes widend and she stepped backwards. "No Rumple taught you magic!" Belle pointed at Zelena. "She's the wicked Witch of the west!" Everyone gasped. Zelena rolled her eyes. "Yes well my reputation proceds me I see." Gaston stepped forward.
"What do you want witch?" He pointed his sword at her. She smirked. "This is who your gunna marry? Dear you could do better!" Belle grinned. "What I want is her!" Belle blinked. "No more deals!" The king shouted.
"I'm not here to make a deal! I need her for my revenge on Rumplestiltskin! Word says your his true love and as sickning as that news is to me I need you to get my revenge!" Belle shook her head.
"It will never work Rumple dosn't want or care about me anymore." Zelena chuckled and pulled Belle closer. "Your not as smart as they say!" Belle scoffed. "He dose love you idiot! And I'm going to show him that he made the wrong choice picking my sister to in act his dark curse! She faild him unlike me! I would have given him everything he wanted and more! But now I'm going to take away everything he loves!"
Belle's eyes grew as Zelena poofed them away in a cloud of green. The king scremed his daughters name having her once again taken from him.
"Why did you take me to the underworld? What could you gain from this?" Rumple asked walking around Hades home. "Well many things but we both know a truly great villain keeps things to himself and reveal his plan a little at a time."
Rumple smirked. "Have a seat!" Hades waved to his chair. Rumple walked to it and sat down as Hades picked up a pool stick and started playing. "Now I have a problem. Your ex wife has become something of a hero down here!" Rumple scoffed.
"Shocking I know!" Hades made the shot. "I want you to get ride of her permanently." Rumple gave Hades a look. "Why can't you do it?" Hades grinned and walked around the pool table and pointed the stick at Rumple. "Oh I could but I'd much rather you do it. Think of it as your final revenge on here. Her soul trapped forever in the river of lost souls. After everything she did to you and your son."
Rumple growled. "And then my child is free?" Hades laughed. "No." Rumple stood. "Try and see it my way dark one. It's not everyday I get the most powerful dark one of all at my disposal. I have a few things I'd like you to do. Number one stop the uprising!" Rumple smirked. "And number two?" Hades grinned. "All in good time." Rumple frowned. "Alright were do I find her?"
Rumple left and Hades made the cristal ball appear and saw Zelena and Belle and smirked. "Perfect!" He made the last shot sinking in the last ball.
Rumple walked through his old village and got looks from the people he'd wished he'd never see again. The people he killed on his quest for power and vingance.
Milah stood in the town square sword drawn. "You!" Rumple giggled. "Oh don't worry dearie I'm not dead. I'm just visiting!" Milah put her sword away. "What do you want?" Rumple smiled. "To help you. How would you like to help your old love."
Milah scoffed. "Oh not me Killian Jones!" Milah's eyes grew. "Killian? He's here?" Rumple smiled. "Yes and Hades is having his way with him but we can save the pirate."
Milah gave the dark one a look. "And why would you want to help us?" Rumple smirked. "I'm a changed made dearie. My wife made me that way." Milah took a step closer. "Your wife? You remarried?"
Rumple grinned. "Shocking isn't it but she actually believes in me. Something you never did!" He said harshly. "Yes well I'm sorry about that." Milah said looking at the ground. "Shall we?" Rumple asked outstretching his arm. "Yes." Milah started walking with Rumple behind her.
"Where are we headed? Where is Hades keeping him?" Rumple frowned. "We have to cross the river of lost souls to get there." Milah shook her head as they made there way through the forest. "So whats she like? Your wife? Is it real?"
Rumple growled. "Realer than what we had. She is beautiful, smart with a brave and loving heart and she will be the mother you never were!" Milah stopped walking and Rumple turned to face her.
"Mother? Tou mean your having a second child?" Rumple smiled at the thought. "Yes and I'll finally have a real family!"
"Well about your hu unfinished business if it is the love of the pirate." Milah shook her head. "No my unfinushed buissness was never Killian." Rumple's face showed shock. "Then what?" Milah took his hand shocking him.
"It was always about Balfire. Our son! I should have been there for him. Not punished him because I'd grown to hate his father! I was was selfish and I thought if I did something heroic or good then maybe I could finish what I need to." Rumple sofend up. "So you wanna move on?" Milah looked at him. "Yea. So I can see him and I can tell him son I'm sorry for everything!"
Milah was about to cry. "I was a horrible mother and wife and I'm sorry Rumple." Rumple gulped looking at his hand in hers. She closed her eyes.
"Just to tell him that I love him!" Her lip quivered. "Then you will. I did wrong doings to him as well and I've spent every second since then trting to find him and tell him the same. We will get that chance!" He squezed her hand.
Milah let his hand go and smiled. "It's a wonderful thought. So let's hurry up and save Killian!" She smiled and started walking.
They came to the river with a dock and the boat waitting for them. Milah walked closer to it and bent down looking into the water. Rumple stayed further behind her watching.
"They all look so lost." She gulped. "Yes they do." He closed his eyes. "Milah I lied. Hook is alive sadly not from my lack of trying I ashure you." Milah stood and gave him a look. "What could you posibly gain from lieing to me Rumple?" He looked down. "I made a deal with Hades long ago. Bae was but a lad and very sick. I traded my second born child to Hades in exchange for his health. " Milah had a look of disgust on her face. "So your still a cowered even with all your power?" He smirmed. "I did'nt have it then stupid!" Milah looked shocked. "I did'nt want to loose my son!" Milah hit him. "Our son!" He chuckled. "You left him and me!"
Hades appeared and froze Milah. "We're not having second thoughts are we?" Rumple shook his dead. "Good because we both know whats at stake. Hurry up I have more errons for you to do."
Hades left and Milah became unfrozen. Rumple grabbed her throat. "W-what dose Hades want you to do? You've already killed me what more can you do Rumple?" He let her go and she gasp for breath. "Make sure you don't cause an uprising!" She scoffed "By what?" He grinned and her eyes grew.
"No- no you lied to me! You said I'd move on and see our son! You pathetic lier!" She glanced at an exit. "Milah you have to understand." She shook her head. "Oh I understand perfectly!" She ran but he apeared in front of her. " You should be happy I've become the man you always wanted me to be. The man who takes what he wants!"
She frowned eyes full of fear. He suprised her by pulling her into a kiss. "Rumple please n-" He closed his eyes and pushed her back used magic as he screamed her name. She flew into the river of lost souls forever doomed. "I'm sorry." He feel to his knees and cried.
