Chapter 3

January 8, 3:30 pm, Gold's pawn shop

The bell above the door jingled as the kids entered the shop. Rosie's father, Rumplestiltskin, known to everyone as Mr. Gold, was standing behind the counter, sorting through some papers. "Hello Rosie," He smiled and looked up, but his smile faded when he saw Killian. "What's he doing here?" he asked. Rather rudely, Killian thought.

"He's doing a project on magical artifacts, and I told him you could show him some," Rosie told her father.

Gold looked a little skeptical but he said, "Well you see young captain, this shop is full of different items from all over the Enchanted Forest, Arendelle, Oz, Camelot and of course, Storybrooke." He walked through the shop and motioned to different objects. "Don't touch anything." He directed as Killian reached out to touch a mini carousel. Lillian snatched his hand back.

"Uh, Papa," Rosie said. "I think you should show him the wand that can turn stuff into glass."

"I don't think that's such a good idea." Gold told her. "You know why I keep it in the house."

"Yeah, so people don't get hurt, but we don't have to touch it, you don't even have to show us how it works. Just show us what the wand looks like."

Gold seemed to be thinking it over. He sighed. "Okay, I'll go get it. You two stay right here and DO NOT touch anything!" Then he went into the house part of the shop.

"Okay, go get the pen," Rosie ordered, once he was gone. Killian took a deep breath and crept into the back room.

The room was full of random, but interesting objects. Killian wanted to look around, but he knew he better hurry. He quickly dug around until he found the pen. It looked like any other red ink pen but small inscriptions in cap showed it was embedded with magic. He shoved it into his backpack and made it back into the main area of the shop before Mr. Gold walked in, holding a blue magic wand.

"Did you get it?" Rosie whispered. Killian nodded.

After Gold talked about the wand and it's magical properties, he said to Killian, "You better get home now, I don't need your father pestering me about your whereabouts." To Rosie, "Go get ready for dinner, Gideon and your mother will be home soon."

Killian turned to leave. "Bye, thanks, Mr. Gold!" Rosie elbowed him. "You're not supposed to be nice!"
