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

Coven's Curse

Another curse is said to be cast upon this realm. Rumple has returned to his enchanted forest personally of scales and riddles. Henry's has an eight year old daughter. "Rumple we have to try something to prevent the curse from being cast." I thromp around in my orange cloak, brown tunic shirt and pants with black combat boots.

"Y/n. Fact follows your mind, Dark Curse cannot be stopped. 8 ingredients stands in the way." He spoke in riddled tongue but it's clear to me. Mother Gothel from Rapunzel's story and Drizela from Cinderella are wanting to make everyone pay.

Running my hands down my face in frustration I engulfed myself in orange smoke teleporting. "Fact or not. I can't just let this Realm face what we did." I end up in front of Henry and Lucy.

The pair smiled. "Y/n!" I nod conjuring up Geppeto's axe that was used to cut down the enchanted tree of the original wardrobe. Henry's backup plan for the two to escape like my golden necklace. It has to work, both of them.

"This is the oldest part of this Realm. The original Enchanted Forest. This tree has the same magic that took my mom to Storybrooke." Henry explains to the young girl who asked. "How did you find this one tree with some many other regular trees around it?"

Stepping up I hand Henry the axe seeing Lucy get concerned. "Why are you cutting it down!" I bend down on my knees to her. "Lucy. Remember the wardrobe-" She cuts me off panicking at my words. "No, no!"

Henry comforts his daughter after setting the axe down. "Hey, it's okay. This is a last resort. If the curse happens you and I go to the land without magic before it hits. Then we find our people." He pulls out the brown leather storybook. "With this book we can help them believe again."

"It's okay. It's okay. Just believe in me." Lucy hugs her dad after he said those words. Taking my hand in hers I engulf us in an orange smoke to appear inside a cave outside the castle. I settled her into bed but I sense a dark preference. Drawing some fire in my hand I walked outside. "Who's there. Show yourself!" I called out but hear no reply. Instead I feel a dart get launched into my neck. Resting a hand to the injection I closed my eyes falling into darkness.

Rumple's POV
Y/n's body lays in a hospital bed hooked up to tubes and wires. Jacinda called me late last night saying Lucy and her had suddenly collapsed in her apartment. Anastasia was awakened the same night. Sitting down on her beside I brush the hair from her face whispering softly. "Don't worry lass. I'll break the curse on you and Lucy...I'll find the Guardian."

Getting to my feet I slipped her necklace into my jacket pocket from the side table heading to see Rapunzel watching her awake daughter. "I never would have helped you, had I known Lucy and Y/n were gonna pay the price." She turned her head my way in defense. "But you did help me. . . Because you were desperate to find the Guardian."

"And I did find her." I point my finger to the girl in the bed. "She's right there in this room." She snaps back at my assumption. "No, my daughter is not your Guardian."

I scoffed not wanting to waste anymore time, knowing the girls don't have much time. "Gothel believed she was. . . and I'd like to find out for myself. And if I'm right, her magic, may be able to save Lucy...and Y/n. But not if she dies today. Drizella and Gothel are still out there...and I very much doubt they're given up. You have no choice but to let me protect her." I'll save you, my love.
