Rosie's POV
I ran into the forest where I quickly saw Ruby waiting for me, I heard a branch snap and I quickly listened in "are you okay Rosie? You seem a little... On edge" Ruby commented as she walked over to me, I looked at her and nodded "yeah I'm fine" I said but I continuously looked around in search of the thing that made the noise. I turned and it wasn't long until Red did the same. I sniffed around in the attempts to try and figure it out "okay there is definitely something wrong Rose" I heard Ruby snap, my ears flicked up as I heard a rustle "quiet Ruby" I growled, she let out a low whimper but stayed silent unable to resist Alphas orders. I picked up a new scent and let out a low growl "what's wrong?" The other wolf asked, I started to pace back and forth. It was a wolfs scent, an omega? A rogue? Either way, both were a threat, I let out a low growl "Rosie! What's wrong!" Ruby yelled, I looked over at the silver grey wolf who eyes were drowning with worry "there's a wolfs scent" I barked, Ruby nodded and podded over to me. I heard a loud howl off in the distance but it was in the direction of town, I let out an ear bursting growl. Ruby took the hint and started running towards town, I found the wolfs scent again and began to follow it. It led me through the woods and away from town, this confused me since the howl came from towards town. I followed it and there I saw it, it was a dark wolf much like my own and its golden eyes shine towards me. I couldn't help but feel like I'd seen it before, then I realised I have. Those are the eyes I saw on the way to Zelena's. I let out a low protective but yet threatening growl, the wolf took one look at me and it laughed "I knew you couldn't resist sending your little Beta off to town" a male voice growled, I narrowed my eyes "your a rogue, what do you want?" I snapped, the wolf chuckle "you should know better than to snap at people child" he scolded, I let out a growl. He has no right to call me a child, he has no right to scold me. I was about to put him in his place when he spoke "or more importantly, a former Alpha" he said, his voice was low and threatening, my eyes narrowed "my pack was wiped out, much like your mothers" he played, I straightened my posture from the hunting stance I was in. I stiffened "you knew my mother?" I questioned, he let out a deep chuckle as he inched towards me "oh I knew your mother very well Rosie" he said practically hissing my name, I pounced and quickly pinned him to the forest floor "how do you know me?" I growled, when he tried to move I pressed my paw against his neck. He laughed "now where's the fun in just telling you? I want you to figure it out" he snapped playfully, I growled "see if the stupid child I left can figure it out" he played, I was off him instantly. I stood a few yards away from him as he got to his feet, he chuckled "so she figured it out then" he said tilting his head to the side, I tried to shake the thought from my head but there was nothing I could do "hello Mikael" I hissed, he shot me a dirty look "that's some way to greet your father girl!" He hissed, I growled "you are no father to me" I threatened, he left me! He told me he didn't love me and that he didn't care! He told me I was a waste of space and that he wished I was never born! Why in the hell did he expect me to see him as my father?! He chuckled "oh I see you've gotten a new family now" he played inching towards me "Belle is it?" He growled, his voice low and threatening. I let out a growl and was prepared to attack "you touch her and I swear to God your gonna wish I killed you when I had the chance!" I threatened but all he did was laugh "is that a threat?" He asked inching towards me a bit more. He sat down suddenly as if he had forgotten everything that had just happened, he studied me carefully "your a lot more like me than you think Rosalinda" he said in a soft voice much different than the tone he had used when we first encountered each other, I growled "don't you ever call me that" I snapped, I hated the name nobody had called me it in years. He let out a soft chuckle "it was your mothers idea to call you that, I thought it was a bit long and frankly a bit strange" he commented, I found it strange how he spoke to me. He spoke to me as if he never left, he acted as though I've been his daughter all these years. I growled "you speak to me as if you never left" I snapped, he shrugged and inched towards me "well who else do you have?" He asked tilting his head to the side slightly, I hissed and was about to speak when he cut me off "don't be a fool girl! Do you really think the people here care for you?" He questioned, I muttered something under my breath and covered it with a low growl. He chuckled "I mean think about it" he said standing directly in front of me "that Zelena, you foiled her plans" he grumbled "you stopped her from doing what she has wished to do her entire life" he continued, I laughed slightly "that was her own choice, I simply have her a little nudge in the right direction. She could have gone back if she pleased" I played, he eyed me carefully. I knew his games and I know not to fall into any of the pits he creates. He shrugs "and not to mention your Beta, Ruby is it?" He questioned, I gave him a slight nod "she's my sister" I corrected. I don't refer to Ruby as my Beta, never have and probably never will she is much more important to me than my second in command "half-sister, she has no relation to me whatsoever" he snapped correcting me, I scoffed. He smirked "do you really think she likes taking orders from a thirteen year old? It's kind of embarrassing at her age, she's 31?" He offered, I gave him a swift nod "get on with it will you? What's the point to all this anyway?" I growled but all he did was chuckle. I watched him carefully "what about Stiltskin? He probably doesn't care less about you, you act as a constant reminder to him as the son he's lost so many times" he growled, I froze. I guess that could be true, he lost Neal so many times and I'm a similar age to what he was when Rumple lost him. I shook my head as I tried to shake the cloud of doubt from my mind "and what about Belle" he said hissing her name, I let out a fierce and protective growl. He flinched and laughed "I knew when you threatened me the first time that you had strong feelings towards her, she's a mother figure? Am I right?" He questioned, I didn't answer. I watched his every move ready to attack if needed "do you really think she returns the love you have for her?" He questioned, I growled slightly "do you think she wanted you? Your a teenage wolf, your half human. Your dangerous, you pose as a threat" he snapped "if you lose control your wolf will take over and kill everything. Do you really think that Belle can love something like that?!" He growled, I let out a small whimper. I never really thought of it that way... I felt as my wolf tried to use my doubt to its advantage and started battling it out for control, I whimpered again as I felt my legs buckle beneath me but I stayed standing. I growled "I will kill you Mikael" i threatened, he chuckled and shook his head "I think you and I both know that if you want to keep the girl safe, you wont touch me" he threatened, I growled "you have a death wish" I barked, he chuckled and shook his head. I watched him, i'm pretty sure Rumple wont let him touch Belle "The Dark One cant hurt me Rosie" his voice was low and intimidating, I looked at him slightly confused "I made a deal with him, I helped him out with another deal that he was doing and in return he wasn't allowed to hurt me or do anything to hurt me from then on" he hissed. I growled "but in order for me to help him, I needed to be able to turn at will" he finished, I stopped and stared. I jumbled about with my words trying to figure out what to say "Rumple knows you?" I whispered, he nodded and inched towards me so that he was literally and inch in front of my face "he knows you as well Rosie" he whispered sinisterly, I whimpered. I snapped out of my thoughts and growled "how?" I snapped, he stepped back and watched me for a moment "how do you think you survived the Black Knights?" he played, I flinched. What? Sure I always wondered how I escaped, I went to sleep and I woke up in the middle of the woods with my entire pack missing. But Rumple? This was one of the rare times that I was human and it happened less than a year before the curse "that means..." I trailed off, Mikael chuckled "that's right Rosie" I couldn't take this anymore, I was finished listening to him "Rosie!" I heard Ruby yell from somewhere, I turned to find that Mikael was gone. I watched as the silver wolf came through the bushes, I took one look at Ruby and everything that Mikael had said flooded through my head "Rosie you okay?" she asked, I shook my head fiercely.
Ruby's POV
I watched Rosie carefully as she shook her head, I podded over to her and a loud growl erupted from the small wolf. She looked up at me and saw her eyes flash blue and back to gold and next thing I know she was gone. Morning was coming closer and I began to feel really weak and tired so I settled down and fell asleep.
When I woke up I was human again, I quickly gathered my thoughts and grew concerned about Rosie. I made my way to Granny's where I found Belle sitting in her usual place with Gold, she looked over to me and frowned. She got to her feet and made her way over to me "where's Rosie?" she asked, a small hint of concern lit up in her eyes "something happened last night and she freaked out, she ran off and I haven't seen her since" I explained, Belle nodded "do you have any idea where she could be?" she asked, I shrugged and shook my head. I've never seen this happen with Rosie or well any of the wolves that I've come across "i'm going to go and see if I can find her" she said, I nodded.
Belle's POV
I walked back over to the table where Rumple was sitting "where's Rosie?" he questioned, I sighed and shrugged "Ruby doesn't know, I was going to go and see if I can find her" I mumbled, a small smile crossed Rumple's face "you worry too much Belle" he said with a caring smile, I gave him a small nod "but i'm not stopping you" he chuckled, I looked up at him and smiled. I got to my feet and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before walking towards the door. I felt a hand on my arm which caused me to jump, I turned to see Ruby "you okay?" I asked, she shook her head and brought me outside. "Be careful Belle" she whispered, I looked at her slightly confused "i talked to Granny about what I saw, she's not in control Belle" she explained slowly. Not in control? What does that mean "something has happened and her wolf is now in control, she's dangerous right now" she finished, I sighed "thanks for the warning Ruby but Rosie won't hurt me" I said giving the brunette a reassuring smile, she frowned and shook her head "she's young, whatever happened it was enough to get her to spiral out of control. You have to be careful" Ruby pressed, I sighed and nodded. I refused to think that Rosie could hurt me but if Ruby is this concerned about it "okay Rubes, i'll be careful" I said quietly, she smiled and wrapped me into a hug "thank you" she whispered pulling away. I nodded and made my way off to find my daughter.
