The Bombshell

Part 31: Rumplestiltskin's Pov

   Being a Knight and The Ogre Slayer was tiring work. I couldn't wait to get home to Belle and our son. It wouldn't be long now and all I wanted to do was kiss my wife and our boy. A few minutes passed and I could see my home in the distance. As I approached, the smell of Belle's home made meat pie filled the air.

.

   I rushed inside the house and took Belle in my arms. "I've missed you." I exclaimed before I kissed her. A moment later, she pulled away and I heard coughing behind me.

.

   I turned to see who was there. "And who exactly are you?" The stranger was sat on the chair furthest away from us.

.

   "His name is Isaac. He said he was a friend of yours." Belle answered, but I didn't know this man and I sure as hell wasn't going to let him stick around here. He could be dangerous, or evil.

.

   "I've never seen him before!" Belle was shocked at this revelation. "Get out!" I yelled at him. "Get out of my home and stay away from my family!" I grabbed hold of his shirt and dragged him towards the door.

.

   "Stop!" He shouted. "Stop, or risk losing your happiness forever!" What was he talking about? No one wanted to destroy my happiness; everyone worshipped me. "There's a boy. His name is Henry and he's teamed up with the bandit Regina in a plan to overthrow you and become the hero of this land." What? I couldn't have that. I was Rumplestiltskin; a Knight, and I was the people's hero. No one else. I wasn't going to let some stupid kid and a wanted criminal take that away from me.
