The Enchanted Forest-Past

Snow and Charming, wearing cloaks, follow a guard through the dungeon.

"When we reach the cell, stay out of the light. And whatever you do, do not let him know your name. If he knows your name, he will have power over you." The guard explains to them.

"Rumplestiltskin. Rumpelstiltskin! I have a question for you." The guard yells.

Rumplestiltskin appears from the dark part of his cell. "No, you don't. They do. Snow White and Prince Charming... you insult me. Step into the light and take off those ridiculous robes."

Snow and Charming reveal themselves.

"That's much better."

"We've come to ask you about the.." Charming starts to say before being interrupted. "Yes! Yes! I know why you're here! You want to know about the Queen's threat."

"Tell us what you know." Snow demands.

"Ooh tense, aren't we? Fear not! For I can ease your mind. But..it's going to cost you something in return." Rumple smiles.

"No! He's just a waste of time." Charming says about to walk away. "What do you want?" Snow asks, not wanting to leave without an answer to her questions.

"Oh..the name of your unborn child?" He wiggles his fingers. "Absolutely not!" Charming shakes his head. "Deal! What do you know?" Snow chimes in before Charming says anything else.

"The Queen has created a powerful curse. And it's coming. Soon, you'll all be in a prison. Just like me, only worse. Your prison, all of our prisons, will be time. Time will stop, and we will be trapped. Someplace horrible, where everything we hold dear, everything we love, will be ripped from us while we suffer for all eternity. While the Queen celebrates, victorious at last. No more happy endings." Rumple explains.

Snow furrows her brows and shakes her head, "what can we do?" Rumple moves closer to the bars of his cell to see them. "We can't do anything."  Snow looks at Charming then back at Rumple, "who can?"

Rumple reaches his arm out and points to Snows stomach, "that little thing, growing inside your belly." Charming slashes his hand away with his sword. "Next time I cut it off." He warns Rumple.

"Tsk, tsk. The infant is our only hope. Get the child to safety. Get the child to safety and on its 28th birthday, the child shall return. The child will find you and the final battle will begin!" He says with a smile.

Charming grabs his wife's hand, "we heard enough. We're leaving." They start to walk out but hear Rumple yell behind them, "Hey! No! We made a deal! I want her name! We had a deal! I need her name! I want her name!"

Charming turns back, "her? it's a boy." Rumple reaches his hand out again, "missy..missy.. you know I'm right. Tell me, what's her name?"

Snow hesitated before replying, "Demi. Her name is Demi."

Rumple repeats, "Demi.."
