Girl Meets Once Upon A Time

Chapter 22

A tavern somewhere in the Enchanted Forest. Lucas, Killain and Milah were playing a dice game with some pirates.

'Ahoy, my three!' Milan yelled.

''Ah!' A ship crew member yelled

'Milah. Milah. It's time to go.' Rumplestlkin showed up.

'Good. So go.' Milah told him.

'Who's this?' Killian asked.

'Ah, it's no one. It's just my husband.' She told him.

'Oh. Well, he's a tad taller than you described.' Lucas smirked.

'Please. You have responsibilities.' Rumpelstilskin told her.

'You mean like being a man and fighting in the ogre wars? Other wives became honored widows while I became lashed to the village coward. I need a break. Run home, Rumple. It's what you're good at.' Milan told him.

'Mama?' Balefire entered.

'Bae. You were supposed to wait outside, son.' Rumpelstilskin told him.

Milah got up and took Baelfire home.

The Enchanted Forest docks. Rumplestiltskin is hobbling towards the Jolly Roger. He climbs the stairs to get on the ship and falls down on the deck.

'Uhh!' Rumpelstilskin yelled while falling.

'On your feet for the Captain.' Lucas ordered.

One of the crew members hauled Rumplestiltskin to his feet and thrusted this walking stick at him. He stood in front of Killian.

'I- I remember you, fr- from the bar.' Rumpelstilskin stuttered.

'It's always nice to make an impression. Where are my manners? We haven't been formally introduced. Killian Jones. Now what are you doing aboard my ship?' Killian asked not really caring.

'W- well you have my wife.' Rumpelstilskin told him.

'I've had many a man's wife.' Killian smirk.

'No, you... you see, we... we have a son, and he needs his mother.' Rumpelstilskin told him.

'And see, I have a ship full of men who need... companionship.' Killian told him.

'Ah!' The crew members agreed.

'Huh?' Killian  smirked.

'I- I'm begging you. Please let her go.' Rumpelstilskin begged.

'I'm not much for bartering. That said, I do consider myself an honorable man, a man with a code. So... if you truly want your wife back....' Killian threw a sword in front of Rumplestiltskin.

'Alll you have to do is take her. Never been in a duel before, I take it?' Killian asked

'Well, it's quite simple, really. The pointy end goes in the other guy.' Lucas smirked.

'Go on. Pick it up.' Killian told him.

Rumplestiltskin does nothing

'If you won't fight me, fight my little brother.' Killan gave his sword to Lucas.

Lucas pressed the sword against Rumplestilskin's neck.He whimpered.

'Pathetic.' Lucas chuckled and dropped his sword.
