The life we always wanted (2)

Chapter Thirty Three: The thing you love most

Freya's POV

I couldn't shake off the feeling that something had went wrong. Did my mom get to my dad? Is Liam ok? What will my dad think of my mom once he's realized she's embraced the darkness? It was too much to think about. Not only that but when was rumple going to come and get his revenge in my mom and what would he do? As I thought all this I stood out on a balcony and stared out at the sunset, forest and mountains in the background.

As I stood on the balcony little did I know that Rumple had walked into my castle through the back way and up the stairs into the library. So as I walked into the library a few moments later to clean up the books I had left before getting kidnapped I hear a book falling off the shelf. I turn around quickly and see someone behind a bookshelf.

"Who is there?"I shouted. From behind the bookcase Rumpelstiltskin appears and has the biggest smirk ever on his face."Its only me dearie. No need to fret."
He pulls out my heart again and I sigh. "Sit." He says into it. I immediately sat down and Rumple puts a black cuff on my arm.

"To preserve your magic." He smiled."You see I'm here to get my revenge. Which I guess you were expecting by the looks of all the closed curtains and locked doors."He explained to Me. He sat a huge pile of books on the table and I go to open one."No, no. What you are looking for can't be found in a book. Its found in here." He points at my head.

"So you need to look inside my head?" I snapped."Sort of. But I can make things simpler by using this." He pulls out a black piece of wood. "This shows you what you can't fully admit to yourself by taking memories from your head." Rumple explains. He flicks his hand and a purple line appeared from my head to the black wood.

On the wood appears all the memories I had with Liam. My dad and even my mom. But I couldn't crush all three hearts? That's not how the curse works. Rumple then lifts it off the table and speaks into it. "Show me who Freya Jones loves the most." He asks.

The back wood it covered in purple smoke and it fades away.
"Look closely dearie. That's who's heart you need to crush. He smiles.

The back wood shows my mom standing out on a balcony by herself.

My mom? I need to crush her heart? But I couldn't do that to her? She just revived my dad.

"I need to kill my mom?" I gasped. "That you do dearie. Sorry. Is that going to cause disruption to your family?" He giggled. "You... You knew!" I snapped. "Well of course I did! But I'm Rumpelstiltskin. My life revolves around tricking people and making their lives misery." He smiles.

"You!" I shouted. I stood up and went blast my magic towards him. But nothing happened. "Hahaha the power of a magic stopping cuff. That cuff on your arm stops every form of magic that you produce to even appear. Never mind make it touch someone." He sniggered. "You find another loophole to trick me and my family." I whispered. "That I did. But its the man I am. The trickster, after all. You could never protect your family with your magic anyway." He replied.

Thats what annoyed me the most. The fact that he thought that I was weak. But I wasn't. I may be right now as I have no magic. But I'm not a weakling. I'm strong enough to protect those I love and I will prove it to him. Once I've found out how to get the cuff off. I think my only way out now is to do whatever he's telling me to do and eventually he will take the cuff off as an act of trust.

"Fine. You win." I lied. He just nodded and stormed back out of the library. I gasped in relief that hopefully he believed me. I stood up and changed out of the red dress Rumple had put on me into a white gown that flowed onto the floor. I made myself a cloak and put the hood up to cover my face from being seen. I then left my castle and began running deep into the forest.

I had to stop a few times to catch my breath. Looking around me to try and make out where I was but it was difficult as it was pretty dark out. Every time I stopped, Memories kept flowing into my head. And they always seemed to be bad ones. The ones I don't want to face ever again.

I kept running when all of a sudden I crashed into someone sending us both to the floor. I sat up and rubbed my head as I tried to make out who it was.

"Henry?"

"Freya?"

It couldn't be. Henry was on a 3 year journey of the realms. Why would he be here?

"Why are you here? I thought you were in another realm?!" I asked as I hugged him.

"I was! But we had to cut our journey short as there was a storm coming our direction. Plus I wanted to come back home for my 20th birthday!" He smiled at me. "What are you doing out here anyways?" He asked me.

I took his hand and began to walk "Its a bit hard to explain."

"I've all the time in the world for my little sister."
