Ella Stiltskin-Winter (1st book)

Scarlet Hunt

It was mid day afternoon and Ella, Mr.Gold, and Belle, were taking a walk, down StoryBrooke, Main Street, "Hey, Rumple, could we ah, make a stop at the library?" Belle asked. "Of course, sweetheart." Then Rumple kisses Belle, with passion, they break apart and she looks up at him with a smile on her face.

As they got, closer to the library, "Who's that?" Ella asks as she looks at a man, dressed in a black leather jacket, he was breaking in. Rumple then glared at the man, started walking faster up to him, as Belle soon saw the anger and hurt look on his face, Belle sprinted up to him, with her clicking heels brushing against the road. Belle then grips a hold of his shoulder and turns in front of him. He met her gaze. Once she put his hand on his face, he calmed down, but then looked at the man again. "Hey. Sweetheart, I got this, let me talk to him, I'll be fine." Belle said. Rumple whispers, "But, he's a thief, who's breaking in to your library. You don't," Rumple then put her finger against his lips, that paused his sentence. She then kissed his cheek and walked up to the man.

"Uh? What's you doin there? Breaking an entry? Isn't that illegal?" Belle asked him. The man looked up with brown hazel eyes, and smiled. "So. It's okay, I do it all the time, I never got caught. It's how I make a livin. What your the cop or somethin?" He asked her. Belle smiled. "No, but I am, the owner of this library." She says. "You have got to be kidden me. You serious? Uh?" He asked. "Belle French, and uh don't worry, I won't turn you in." She smiles. He nods. "You ah, your welcome to stay? If you love to read, your always welcome here." Belle says again. Belle then unlocks the library and turns on the lights. "Will Scarlet." The man says. She looks at him with a confused look. "My name." He says. "Oh, it's nice to meet you, Will. Hey, I got to run a few Arends. Watch the place? I'll be right back." She says. "Sure." Will replay. While looking at her desk.

Belle walks out and walks up to Rumple and Ella. "Now, to the sheriffs office." Belle said. Rumple nodded, and Ella walked behind them.

They soon entered the building, to not find Emma, but a man, sitting next to Emma's desk. He goes by Gram. The deputy sheriff. "Hello, Belle, Gold and who's this?" Gram asks. "Ella, she's my daughter." Gold replied. "It's nice to meet you Ella Gold." He said. "Winter." Ella said. "What?" Gram asked. "My name is Ella Winter." Gram nods.

He gets up and goes searching through his desk for the rent money. He turns around and says, "I'm so sorry, Mr.Gold, but I don't have the money, Emma has it, ah." He shutters. "It's alright, um we aren't here for the money, a man who goes by the name Will Scarlet, was breaking into Belle's library." Rumple said. Gram nodded, and shared a glance with Ella. "I'll see what I can do, and I'll contact Emma." He said. "Thank you, Gram." Belle said, then they all walked out. Gram watched Ella turn around and walk out with her family.

"Let's go home." Belle said, while her husband, wrapped his arms around her, while they walked, and Will on the other hand had a chance to steal, the thing that he needed, Robin Hood's Bow.

They walked home, and Ella sat down on the couch, Rumple and Belle on the other. Belle sat on Rumple's lap, as Rumple put his arms around her and rested his nose against her shoulder. He stared at Ella, watching her tap her foot against the surface. Belle kissed Rumple's forehead, and Rumple nuzzled his face into her neck. They rested like that for the longest time, and Ella soon became tired, she fell into a deep sleep, on the leather couch.

Belle could soon feel how tired Rumple was as he was resting on her shoulder, his eyes were closed taking on her scent, "Sweetheart, hey. Hey." She placed her hands on his face lifting his head up from her neck, and then she rested his head back down on the pillow, she hasn't realized how tired her boyfriend was. Then, Belle heard Ella, talk. She was talking in her sleep. "Father!" She yelled. "Father?" She said, quietly. She watched Ella twist and turn, she remembered having night mares when she was younger, and she hated it.

She looked down at Rumple and then rested next to him, she knew it was hard for him to sleep alone, so she stayed their all night listening to the patterns of Rumple's breathing.
