Snow's POV* 

                          "Remember his powers," the guard informed us leading us down the hallway to the prison cell where Rumple was being kept. It was like cruel deja vu to be led down this dark pathway again. "He may seem human sometimes but he is just a heartless cowardly monster!" The guard pulled back the curtain blocking the Dark One's prison cell from view. "Isn't that right, Rumplestiltskin?" 

                                 Rumple was hanging from the bars of the cell when we walked in and he flipped over and landed on his feet. "Yes, except I do have a heart dearie," Rumplestiltskin corrected pointing his fingers. "I loved many, but every time I loved the dark evils of the world managed to rip them away from me! First Milah and then Belle! And my son too, gone! Poof! Vanished through a portal," He smiled wickedly. "But you didn't come here to learn about my past histories, did ya dearies?"

                                    I shook my head.

                                   "Well then why did you come here!" Rumplestiltskin shouted maniaclly shaking the bars of his cell making a loud rattling. 

                                      Charming pulled out his sword and braced himself protectively in front of me. "Stay back, demon." He spat at the Dark One. 

                                     Rumplestilskin giggled crazily. "Oh, threatening are we? Well then I don't feel like helping you." He turned his back to us. 

                                        "Rumplestiltskin!" I shouted indignantly. He did not move. "RUMPLESTILTSKIN YOU TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT ME THIS instant!" I exclaimed with a huff.

                                       "Yeeeees?" He asked slowly spinning around on his heels. 

                                        "I need your help and you are going to help me, do you understand me?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

                                            "Oooh! Feisty I like it! Go on," Rumple encouraged me, much to Charming's distaste.

                                           "The curse, it didn't work-"

                                           "Well, clearly dearie, who put this one in charge! Queen Obvious-" he was teasing.

                                             "I WASN'T FINISHED!" I shouted with monster mom anger. Rumplestiltskin and the others, cringed away from me. "Thank you," I scoffed trying to gather my calm. "The curse may not have worked but the chamber my husband put our daughter through did. I want my daughter back! And I think you know how.." I left my sentence open ended for him to step in.

                                                Rumplestiltskin rolled his eyes. "You should be happy, now your daughter has her best chance at a good life." He sneered. "We all know what type of mother you'd make and it isn't a good one, dearie."

                                                          I lunged at him, stealing Charming's sword and grabbing Rumple's head. I held the sword against his throat and whispered in his ear. "I know where Belle is and I will make sure you never get her back unless I get my daughter back!" I hissed in his ear. "Anyway, tick tock, I know there's a clock deciding how long she has left. Your choice, Rumple.."
