Children of The Dark One: Rumbelle

Alone again

Rumple's POV

I forgot a book and had to go back for it. I walked in the door to find Blue. "Excuse me. What are you doing here!?"

"We just.."

"We!?"

Belle came down the stairs, "Belle, where have you been?"

Blue ran up to her and they disappeared.

"Belle? What is going on."

I got in my car and drove to the fairy hive. When I got there I ran towards the house but was reflected by magic.

I smacked the magic shield, "Blue! Let me see Belle and my children now!"

Blue and a couple other fairies filed out of the the house. "We are doing this for their safety."

"What?"

"Belle doesn't think it is safe with you."

"Ugh!" All I ever do is for her! Now she is doing this to me. I don't deserve this, do I? "I'm, I'm sorry Belle. Please just tell me what I did. I want to make things right."

Belle came out. "I can't Rumple. Please just go."

"Wa-what." I fell to my knees. *Makes that one crying face we all know*

"Please leave Rumplestiltskin." Blue took Belle by the arm and gently led her back inside. The others followed.

I didn't move though. After a couple minutes Blue came back out and poofed me back to my shop.

I was sitting on my knees on the floor in the middle of my shop when Marion walked in. "Um, are you okay?"

I tried to hide the fact that I had been crying, and pulled myself to my feet. "Yes, yes of course."

She tilted her head to the side, "Are you sure?"

"Yes. Why are you here?" I demanded.

"Of your gona be rude, I'll take my business elsewhere." She laughed, "I need a necklace."

I walked over behind one of the display cases and reached down, "May I ask, for what?"

"There is this thing going on at Granny's after church tomorrow. I just need something nice." She made her way over to the case.

I stood back up and handed her a red jewel in a golden setting and on a golden chain. "Is this what you were thinking?"

She gingerly took it from me. "Exactly." I walked from that display case and towards the one with the cash register. "So, why are you knees muddy?"

"I got mud on them."

"Oh. Really? I thought you got water on them." She rolled her eyes. "I mean, what really happened? The last time I saw you with dirty cloths was when we first met.

I tried not to show any emotion at the thought of the circumstances of how we met. "Indeed."

She took a second to look at me. I felt translucent, like she could see my every thought. Then she spoke, "Did Belle leave you again?"

"Excuse me?"

"Belle. She left." She looked like she was about to cry, "She is horrible to you."

"She is no such thing." I handed her the necklace.

"I know what I'm taking about Rumple. I expect you to be at church tomorrow, and the lunch." She left.

I was alone with my own mind. That's one of the scariest things I could think of.
