Rumplestiltskin's Daughter

Ep 2 - A World Without Magic

"Papa" Bae shrieked as we barged through the door of our little cottage, papa was spinning on his spinning wheel sat down on a small wooden chair, he didn't acknowledge us when we barged in or when we sat down in front of him but he knew we were there.

"Papa" this time I yelled his name trying to make him look at us but he still didn't, he just carried on spinning, "you're never going to believe what we found" I enthusiastically shouted hoping he would reply or at least look at us, but nothing, just nothing.

"We found a way for things to be how they were" Bae insisted, a way to get rid of our fathers magic for good.

"We want you to come with us" I blurted out but he still didn't acknowledge us, the whole point is that he comes with us so he has to.

"We can make things right" Bae exclaims, make things go back to normal, or at least try, once papa doesn't have his magic we can try to be normal again, "have you heard of the Ruel Ghorm?" As soon as the last two words emerged from Bae's mouth our father instantly stops spinning and shoots his head up towards us.

"The blue star? The blue fairy?" Papa snarled almost worried from what Bae said, is that what she's called, the blue fairy, that seems more innocent than the Ruel Ghorm, "children, please tell me you didn't" why wouldn't he want us to go to the Blue fairy, "fairy magic doesn't mix well with what I am." No he can't back out now, he said if we find a a way to get rid of his magic he will take it, he can't back out.

"But father, you promised" I hissed loudly, he can't break his promise.

"She can help us" Bae insists, she already has helped us, all we have to do is use the magic bean to go to a different world, one without magic.

"She can take us to a place without magic" I stated, we can get to this world by the bean although I'm not sure how the bean works, Bae has the bean so he's the one that's figuring that out, it can't be that hard, if only the blue fairy would of evaluated, but she didn't give us much instructions so if we want to go somewhere without magic we'll figure it out ourselves.

"A place without magic!" Papa howls not looking at us before lifting himself up off his small wooden chair to walking a few steps around the room, "I'd be powerless!" this time he stares right at us whilst he shouted, "weak!"

"Like everybody else, it wouldn't matter" Bae snapped, everyone in this world is going to be powerless and nobody would know us, it would be a fresh start in a new not magical world, this is what we've wanted ever since father got his powers.

"We'd be happy" I tried to reassure our father but it wasn't working, he was breaking our deal, we've been waiting for this moment to have a fresh start, our father has to come with us, if not at least me and Bae will have a chance at a new life.

"We can be happy here" papa declared smiling, trying to persuade us, but we can't be happy here, we're not happy here and we won't be, as soon as the words emerged from his mouth I quickly replied to him.

"Were not!" I yelled not realising how loud I really was yelling, papa looked at me glaring into my eyes, "were not happy here papa" this time instead of shouting I objected softly.

"We can be" father soothingly assured, doesn't he get it, we can't be, he promised if we find a way he would come, he promised.

"No" Bae roared loud enough to break something, "father please, you're getting worse, and you promised, this can work, it can"

"and it will" I exclaim, it can work and it will work, i know it can, all we have to do is have hope.

Bae stands up from his chair before speaking, "you made a deal with us, are you backing out?" When he finishes speaking I stand too placing myself next to him, both stood tall in confidence as papa glared at us sadness filled eyes.
