All the magic (OUAT Peter Pan)

Chapter 70: Story Time

As soon as Hope walked through the enchantment cast on the ship, she froze at the nightmare in front of her. Killian was lying on his back covered in blood, while Gold slammed his cane into Hook, and Belle just stood there. Clutching the shawl and watching with a sad look.

Rumple screamed with rage as he hit Killian with his cane again. "Do it! Do it kill me." Killian shouted at him. He let out a chuckle as he looked at Belle, "He has to show you how powerful he is."

"No rumple. This is what he wants. To destroy every bit of good in you." Belle begged him to stop.

Killian glared at his crocodile as he said, "Rip my heart out. Kill me like you did milah. And then I'll finally be reunited with her."

Rumple dropped his cane as he looked at Belle. "He has to die, Belle." As he lunged twords Killian Hope was unfrozen.

"Stop it!" She screamed at them as loud as she could while tears spilled down her face making everyone look at her. Everyone yelled at her at once,

"Hope, get out of here."

"Songbird, run!"

"Dearie close your eyes."

Hope pushed past Belle as she tried to stop her. She pulled Rumple off of Killian and stood between them. "Enough! Look at him, he's down." She told Rumple. "Don't give him the satisfaction of being able to tell you what to do." She turned to look at Killian. "And you. don't aggravate the person who is trying to kill you. Is it not better to live to fight another day?"

Belle walked over and stood in front of Rumple. "You still have good in you. I've seen it, I've always seen it. Please. Please show me I'm not wrong."

Rumple glared at Killian as he told him, "You take your little ship and sail till you fall off the edge of the world. I never want to see you again. Let's go." He said as he took Belle's hand and she pulled him off the ship while Hope stood there looking at how hurt Killian was. "Hope." Rumple called to her.

She wiped a tear from her eye as she nodded. "Please, stay down," She whispered to Killian quickly as she flicked her wrist and healed him before running after Rumple and Belle.

"Well. That was fun." Rumple told them once they were off the dock. He held out his hand, "The shawl, Belle."

She handed it to him. "I hope you learned something today. Your daughter and I can help you, and we are going to anyway even if you try and stop us." She turned on her heel and started walking back to the house.

"Let me go after her. I have my car. We will meet you back home." Hope told him as she ran after Belle. "Hey wait up!"

Belle stopped and took a deep breath. "What aren't you telling us? You clearly knew your way around that ship and you tried to save Hook from Rumple. Why?"

Hope sighed at the question. "It's a long story. But if you swear to keep it to yourself, I'm willing to explain some things." Belle nodded and Hope took them to one of her favorite spots in Storybrooke. It was a bench just inside the forest with a view of the water. "Before I say anything you have to promise not to tell Papa anything."

"I promise. You can trust me." Belle told her.

Hope nodded "I hope so, or it's gonna start a lot of problems for me. I don't even know where to start."

Belle held her hand as she said, "Try at the beginning of the story."

"Alright. I'm- I'm not from the Enchanted Forest like everyone else is. A small part of the curse came to another land, my home. I let myself be taken by the curse so everyone at my home would be safe. Papa knows where I was from, but nothing about it. Or not as much as he thinks he knows at least."
