The Bombshell

Part 21: Rumplestiltskin's Pov

   Now that I had Lily's blood, The Author and I could get on with writing me my happy ending. "I'm back, Dearie." I automatically stated as I arrived back in my shop surrounded by a cloud of purple smoke. Then I heard it. "What's that noise?" I asked, expecting an answer from the idiot with the pen... and he gave me one.

.

   "Outside! The Savior and two others have been trying to get in here since right after you left." So, Miss Swan had found me, but I could guarantee that she wouldn't get what she came for.

.

   "Well then, why not have some fun?" Once again, Isaac looked bewildered, but instead of trying to explain it to him , I thought it best to just show him instead. I raised my hands and removed the protection spell just in time for Will to come crashing through the door. An added bonus.

.

   "What the bleedin' 'eck?" Will yelled as his body hit the floor and Emma and Belle rushed in behind him and helped him to his feet.

.

   "Ah, how nice of you to join us?." I exclaimed sarcastically. Emma flashed me an unimpressed look that told me she wasn't here to mess around. "How can I help you, Miss Swan?" I chose not to acknowledge Belle in any way more than a smile because the hurt of our separation had not yet subsided.

.

   "We want you to tell us how exactly you plan on getting the Villains their happy endings." Straight to the point as always; Emma had a knack for that.

.

   "Oh but Dearie, then it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?" Clearly a rhetorical question; I turned and slipped the vial of Lily's blood to Issac and gave him the nod to start writing.

.

    "Rumple, please tell us?" Belle was my weakness and they all knew it. I tried my best to avoid her gaze as I also knew that if I didn't then the part of me that loved her would take over. "Rumple, look at me." She was good, but I know better than most that love is weakness and I managed to stay strong.

.

   "It's too late." The Author declared which meant that the ink was ready and the story was almost complete.

.

   "What do you mean it's too late?" As usual Will was a little slow on the uptake. It took him a while, but the penny finally dropped.

.

   "He means, Dearie, that while the three of you were focused on getting information from me, he was busy rewriting all of our stories. It's finally time for the Villains to get their happy endings." I took pleasure in seeing the looks on their faces become ones of desperation. " Let me ask you... Are you ready for what's about to happen?" That was Isaac's cue and I made it clear to everyone in the room that there was nothing anyone could do to stop this.

.

"The End." Isaac stated as he wrote those final fated words of what was to become our new reality. This was it. I was finally going to get the happiness I deserved all along.
