Flashback
Enchanted Forest
Day - Maurice's Castle
In the castle, the royal family, Belle and her father, Maurice were gathered with guards and knights, and Belle's fiancé Gaston.
"Sir, there's news from the battlefield" a steward told him "Avonlea has fallen"
Maurice was horrified "Oh, my gods"
"If only he had come..." Gaston trailed off
"Well he didn't, did he?" Maurice replied, crossing the room "Ogres are not men"
Maurice sat down on the throne seat
"We have to do something" Gaston told him "We have to stop them"
Belle crossed the room to Maurice.
Maurice gave him a look, "They are... unstoppable"
"He could be on his way right now, Papa" Belle told him
"It's too late, my girl" Maurice told her "It's just too late"
There was a banging at the door.
"That's him" Belle told them "That has to be him"
Everyone approached the door.
"How could he get past the walls?" Maurice asked "Open it!"
Some guards opened the door, revealing no one standing in the hall.
Rumplestiltskin appeared sitting on Maurice's throne "Well, that was a bit of a let down! You sent me a message, something about, 'Help! Help! We're dying. Can you save us?'." Gaston pointed his sword at him. "Well the answer is..." Rumplestiltskin smacked the blade away. "Yes, I can. Yes, I can protect your little town for a price"
"We sent you a promise of gold" Maurice told him
Rumplestiltskin nodded, "Ah, now, you see, um... I uh, make gold. What I want is something a bit more special. My price... is her"
Rumplestilskin pointed at Belle
Maurice shook his head "No"
Gaston shielded Belle with his arm "The young lady is engaged to me"
"I wasn't asking if she was engaged" Rumplestilskin replied "I'm not looking for love. I'm looking for a caretaker. For my teenage daughter, Keira and our rather large estate. It's the girl, or no deal"
Maurice pointed at the door "Get out. Leave!"
Gaston pulled Belle back with his arm, much to her annoyance.
Rumplestiltskin walked toward the door "As you wish"
Belle walked closer to stop him, "No, wait!" Rumplestiltskin stopped, turning to face her "I will go with him"
Rumplestilskin smiled in delight.
"I forbid it, Belle" Gaston told her, angrily
"No one decides my fate but me" Belle replied, just as angry "I shall go"
"It's forever, dearie" Rumplestilskin reminded
Belle hesitated, "My family, my friends. They will all live?"
Rumplestiltskin nodded "You have my word"
