Isle of Storybrooke

Sneak Attack to the Heart

Mal's POV

So if any of you are wondering, I came up with the plan, as usual.

Evie does not really scheme, she's more go with the flow. If it works out, great; if it doesn't, oh well.

So anyways back to the plan... we were walking to diner, by we I mean Ben, Carlos and I. Evie and her aunt poofed in. While Jay decided to use magic carpet to fly in.

Ben and I entered the diner hand in hand, just as Mr. Rumple threw a fireball at Ms. Regina. What is with these people and fireballs?! Like really?! I chuckled to myself, "Is everyone in town a pyrophilia?"

Then Mr. Rumple came face to face with me and he took my heart out, "Girl, you have no idea who you're dealing with!" He squeezed my heart.

I felt as if I couldn't breathe. I gasp for air, as my vision blurs. Then I heard Ms. Belle scream, "Stop it!"

I snapped my eyes open to see Lily looking down at me. "Oh good, you're awake." she sighed in relief.

I got up trying to remember what happened, then it hit me I clutch my chest felt my heartbeat and sighed in relief. "Ben," I asks, "where's Ben?"

Lily looks down, "On his way to the Enchanted Forest."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, "What?!"

"I'm sorry, Mal. Ben made a deal with his father. He'll leave if it meant Rumple would spare your life."

"No!" I screamed. "No!" I cried, How can he do this to me?!

"Mal," Lily said in a comforting voice, "calm down."

I ran outside and saw Evie holding her baby cousin. "Where is he?!" I demand.

"In the library." Evie replied.

I burst the door open and saw Ben. "Mal, what are you doing?"

"I can't... I can't let you go through with this."

"Too late, dearie." Rumple smiles, "Ben has made a deal."

I turn to face him, "What if I make a deal?"

"What does the daughter of Malificient have in mind?"

"He stays but we will break up." I said desperately.

"Dearie, I don't think that is your call." He states.

"Do we have a deal, or not?" I extended my hand.

"Deal." he shook my hand.

"Mal?" Ben sighs.

"No, Ben!" I snapped, "It's over."

As I walked away, I felt my heart breaking.
