✅Rumple's Light Apprentice (Ouat Rumplestiltskin x reader)

Desired Battle

Hugging my arms around my knees I hear the rattle of my metal chains sitting on the cold stone floor of the mines under the clocktower. The elevator gears open for me to see the black fairy dressed in a black pants suit, my necklace dangling from her left hand. My hair is tangled and dusty, my gray tea shirt, blue jeans and white tenna shoes the same way. "Get out of her Black Fairy...I'll never stop believing, never!" I snarl as she bends down on one knee.

"Oh my dear Y/n. I'd treat me nicely if you want to be free of this prison.. to see my beloved son." She smirked waving the necklace in my face. "After all I hold the key to your freedom..."

Scoffing at her I spin the ring from Charming on my ring finger. She doesn't know it has magic inside it that's keeping me from being affected by her curse. "I don't trust you. Because I know the truth. That you put Emma in a nut house and you're keeping me down here because you need to crush my heart once you destroy her belief."

The evil fairy nods grabbing my chains and hiding them with magic. "Right you are. Now come along I think it's time to get fixed as well." She drags me to the elevator and I squint seeing the sunlight in the library. She has us walk down main street stopping outside Gold's shop.

"Why am I here. I thought the whole point is to keep me away from him?" I raise a brow feeling the wind blowing my hair. She reaches for my ring and I gasped trying to grab it, but the invisible cuffs grip my wrists tighter. "You are here so I can have time to enchant this ring...to give you the one thing you truly desire and then take it away."

Opening the shop door I instantly see Rumple shove something in his coat pocket inconspicuously. "Rump - Gold!" I caught myself on my mistake when the cuffs grip my wrists once again. Curse these things! His brown eyes pour into mine as he seems to be holding back his true emotions, knowing his evil mother is here I suppose. "Mrs. Blake, I suppose our Madem Mayor is releasing from treatment. How generous." His mother nodded exiting the shop. "Yes. I'll be back in a few hours to help her get adjusted to society."

Once the shop's bell rings closed I drop my shoulders sighing in relief. "Thank goodness. Rumple I've missed-" I raced to his arms but he rose a finger to his lips ushering me to the back room. Once in the room I take a seat on the back bed, eyeing a table with potions and books of spells. He closes the curtain before he pulling out a blue potion vial, drinking it quickly. Finally his eyes locked onto mine. "Y/n!"

He pulls me to my feet engulfing me in a tight yet loving embrace. My arms wrapped around his neck combing through his locks as he breathed into my hair. "Y/n I went to see you in the nut house but the nurses said you weren't allowed visitors....I'm sorry for lieing, I'm sorry she's hurting you, im-" I cut off his rambling with a kiss to which he happily agreed. His hands rest on my waist once we break for air. "Rumple, I wasn't there...she has something bigger planned for me I can feel-" I cut myself off gripping where my heart should be.

His brown eyes scanned over me for injuries but didn't find anything. "Lass, I don't see anything. What's wrong?" My eyes lock onto his remembering the words his mother had said. 'Enchant this ring, give you what you truly desire, and take it away'.

"Rumple - Charming's ring - my - my heart - she has it!" I cry in terror collapsing into his arms. He grunts carrying me bridal style over to the cot as I gasped hearing Henry's voice. "Mr. Gold?" Trying to sit up I mumbled out. "Hen - Henry" But Rumple gently pushed me to lay down, covering the back table with a white sheet heading to the front of his shop. "I'll handle him, dear. Just rest now."

"Where do you think you're going to, young man? Back room is off limits to customers." Rumple questions as I heard Henry's footsteps halt outside the curtain. "I'm not a customer. I'm your grandson, and I'm looking for Y/n." Rumple coughed out a mistake of words. "You must've hit your head pretty badly, because I believe you mean Marlee. Now, if you don't mind I got work to do, so please leave." But Henry threw open the curtain smiling at me. "You lied, she's here."
