POV Rumpelstiltskin

(Written by; Danique)

I'm standing a view inches away from the Jolly Roger. Watching the spectacle that's about to happen. 'I thought you loved me Killian!' Emma yells at him. 'Me? Pft, I don't do love. I only do sex' The crew starts to laugh loudly. 'Captain Hook. In love? Can you imagine?' 'Actually in love?' 'What a disaster would that be!' they all start yelling. Then, I see Emma lifting her hand. I widen my eyes. Oh yes, yes. Perfect! I giggle as I take a picture, the moment Emma's hand reaches Hook's face. 'Ouch! shit. Oh now, come on, Emma?' 'Fuck. Off. Killian!' I grin and flick my hand. Let's go back to the girls

'Stop this bullshit. You know I'm going to defend him. He's not a monster,' Is the first thing I hear when I'm back. I squeeze my eyes. I don't know what Nadine is doing, but I don't like it at all. 'Is that so?' I say. Nadine startles and looks at me with an angry face. I'm not supposed to appear like that, I know, I know dearie. 'I came to deliver another picture of our beloved captain, and this is the first thing I hear when I poof here. That's interesting' 'Oh bullshit Rumpel. If you can read minds you sure as hell can hear our conversations, where ever you are too!' I giggle. She's trying not to grin. Oh, sweetheart.. 'I really wish I could, dearie. But that I'm afraid Is impossible. Even with powers like mine,' She thuds on the grass. I look at her and try to figure out what's going on in her mind, but I'm too distracted. Damnit. 'Do you really think I actually want to see this picture?' Angel says to me. Looking irritated. Oh, man, she really does hate me. Perfect. I grin. 'Oh, I'm sure you do, dearie' I hand Angel the second picture as I chuckle lightly. Oh she sure wants to see this one. Emma. My dear, precious Emma thought the pirate actually loved her. I'm sure as hell not gonna tell Angel that It's not Emma who's being the bad guy here in this story. We're going to have some great fun seeing these two fight. Once she sees it, she starts to freak out. 'Who does this bitch thinks she is?! I'm gonna wre-' I take my mind of Angel's rage and focus on Nadine, as she is thinking something I really don't like "He always calls me dearie!! Why would he... Oh my god. Am I.. Jealous? Jesus, Nadine. He calls everyone "dearie" even men. Oh shit no. Stop thinking Nadine. Stop. Thinking" I hiss. Damnit. Why is she even considering the fact that she could be jealous? I look at her. Could I..? What the fuck am I thinking. '-and that bitch should be punished, right Nadine?' Angel screams in her ear. She looks up 'what? Sorry, I zoned out for a minute' I don't have feeling's for her. Pft, what a ridiculous idea. I giggle softly. 'Look!' Angel is pressing the polaroid in Nadine's face. Time to make her be aware of what she is thinking. 'Would you like to make her pay?, dearie?' saying the last word louder on purpose, so she knows that I read her mind. She rolls her eyes. Oh she knows. And I'm gonna have a little talk with her too. Soon. She cannot be thinking these weird thoughts. 'Yes, Yes I would' Angel screams. Oh, this is going to be so much fun. 'Then, let's pay the Enchanted forest a little visit tomorrow, shall we?' she nods. 'Grab your stuff. Meanwhile, we need to talk, Dearie' I hum angry whilst looking at her. I'm taking her to the king's forest. I wave my hand and we disappear.

'That was weird,' she says 'what was that all about,' I hiss angry. She squeezes her eyes. Really, dearie? 'What do you-..' 'Do you think I'm stupid?! You know what I mean,' I scream. No fucking way. 'Yes. Yes I know what you mean. But what I don't understand Is, why you are so angry about it,' she growls. I walk towards her. I thought she knew my story? Then what is this bullshit? 'You. Can't. Love. Me.' I hiss angry. 'Unlike what you think, I am a monster' 'do you really think I like what is happening!?' she screams. Wait, what? I frown. 'I hate love.' she yells. 'I don't want to fall In love with you. And that's not because I think you are a monster because you heard me, I don't think you are. I hate love just as much as you do. The only person in this world that I love is Angel because she has never hurt me before.' She sighs. Holy shit. Why is she like this? She shouldn't be like this. I'm the monster. She's not? Who made her like this? 'Some people just don't deserve to be loved,' she mumbles. True dearie. Very true. I guess then we're both a mess. She looks at me. Straight into my eyes. I look straight into hers. I never noticed how beautiful her eyes actually are. I want her to keep staring at me. In fact, I want her to stop moving at all. Freezing spell. I'm holding my hand being my back and I flick it. I look at the ground. What am I becoming. 'What the.. Rumpel?!' What am I doing? Freezing her because I want to look into her eyes, and yet I'm looking at the ground. And why do I want to look into her eyes in the first place. Why is this bloody conversation happening?! I hear her gasp. 'R-Rumpel?' I feel her eyes burning 'Okay,' I say. What else should I say. 'Okay? god, Rumpel, why-..' 'It's okay,' I hiss. 'Don't mess with me Nadine' Yes! That is what happening here. Now I know. She's messing with my head! this whole conversation happened because she was having these weird thoughts! 'In what possible way should I mess with you!? I don't like you. Damn.' she yells 'But I like you.' Wait, what? What are you doing? Does she think I actually am In l- 'No. No you can't. It's like you said. I can't love you. Well, you can't lov-..' 'I said like, goddamnit!' I yell. -Yes, she thought love. No. I won't ever love someone. 'I just.. don't want to hurt you,' she frowns. 'I want to protect you, dearie' I sigh. 'Okay,' she mumbles. I walk around her. 'You're a friend' Jesus. I haven't used that word in years. She frowns. 'I thought the dark one didn't do friends' 'So did I' I whisper in her ear, placing my head on her shoulder. 'Then stop doing that, Rumpel,' I giggle 'Does It make you feel weird?' she rolls her eyes. 'Uncomfortable, after we've had this conversation, yes.' I smile and wave my hand a little, so that she can move again. She turns around, then she places her head on my chest and wraps her arms around me. Wow. Shit. No, please Nadine. Don't do this. I want to push her away, but all I can say is; 'Are you.. hugging me?' I haven't been hugged in years. Oh help. She nods. I slowly wrap my arms around her too. This is weird 'To friendship,' she grins. I giggle 'Friendship'

After visiting the girls a view more times that night, I wander around in my castle back in the enchanted forest. Still thinking about mine and Nadine's conversation. How did we even get there? 'Damnit!' It scream. Kicking things that are in my way. How did this happen? Why did this happen? 'Damnit!' I yell again. Even harder this time. Running towards one of my bookcases and push it over. I feel the anger leaving me. It's making place for a feeling I don't feel very often; sadness. I look out of a window and close my eyes. 'What is wrong with me' I whisper to myself. 'We're just friends' I think about that moment she wrapped her arms around me for a hug. I exhale. I don't like hugs. But for some reason I didn't really mind hugging her. What is she turning me into? Nothing probably. She doesn't love either. We're both two fucked up people. I grin. And that's exactly why I need her. Suddenly I feel the need to see her. I smile I flick my hand and open my eyes after a while. I'm standing in Nadine's bedroom. I'm looking at her. She's fast asleep. I smile. I turn my head to see Angel sitting outside. She holding something and staring intensely at it. I roll my eyes and look at Nadine again. She's so peaceful. I shake my head. This is exactly what is wrong with you, Rumpel. Sneaking in to Nadine's bedroom just to see her. You're freaking insane. Suddenly Angel stands up. It looks like she's going back inside. Shit! I quickly disappear again before she sees me.

I'm back in my castle. I smile. I really need to talk to Nadine again soon. Hm. 'Friendship' I crow, whilst closing my curtains.

I've been wandering around my castle all night. Thinking, and preparing things. I grin. 'My dear Emma. You're finally gonna get what you deserve' I giggle. It's time. I flick my hand and l land in Angel's room. I'm looking at the girls, whilst leaning on their closet. Nadine is putting on some bracelet. 'It's supposed to protect us, and so that we won't forget him' 'He's the cutest' 'I'll leave it on' 'Me too' Ugh. I want to puke. 'How cute!, a little braded bracelet' Angel growls. 'Someone just ruined the moment' she turns around, I grin 'The fact that you don't have friends doesn't mean we don't have them either' The little bitch. 'Ouch..' For a moment there, I want to leave, but not before I win this argument with Angel. Oh, I just love to get under her skin 'You know nothing. You didn't even believe in the first place' she squeezes her eyes. 'I'm realistic. We had to survive. I had to get us food,' Food? What food? 'and you did an amazing job I see' I'm glaring at the plates. Food. Pft. Bricks that look like bread, she means. 'Alright. Let's get ready, so we can leave' Nadine chuckles. She grabs Angel's hand and takes her with her, before she wants to attack me. I giggle. I love this. I Flick my hand and appear at the lake. Now all I have to do, Is wait for the ladies to arrive.

'So, I'm going to use this to take you to the enchanted forest' I say. Once the girls finally arrived. I hold the magic bean up in the air. 'A frigging bean? What are we doing? Planting a beanstalk?- ouch!' I grin. It's a good thing Nadine just hit her head. Otherwise I would've done it. She looks at Angel with an angry face. 'No, stupid! It's a magic bean. Made to travel between different realms.' I giggle. There we go. 'Exactly, Nadine! So get ready to jump!' 'Are you not coming with us?' Nadine asks. No dearie. Where did you think I went to every time I wasn't with you? "Not with you".. Goddamn, I'm so glad she cannot ready my mind. Jesus Rumpel, get a grip. 'I have my own ways, But they are useless for you' I say. Throwing the bean in the lake. A big tornado appears, with a wide, gaping hole in the middle. 'see you, ladies' I flick my hand and appear in the enchanted forest. I grin whist looking at the girls, whom are intensely looking around. 'Welcome in the enchanted forest, dearies'
