Rumpelstiltskin's Heir

Broken heart....broken leg

Aldara's POV

I woke up slowly from a dreamless sleep. All I can say is 'EVERYTHING HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' They don't joke around when they say, 'that's going to hurt in the morning'

I laid awake on the hard ground for a long time, to tell you the truth I'm not quite sure how long, only that it was a very long time. Then hunger beat me and I slowly sat up, wincing every time that I moved. I opened my backpack and brought out a granola bar, which I enjoyed as if it was the most wonderful meal in the world. I had an apple and an orange and then drank two water bottles, but I was still hungry, I didn't know why. I slowly crept up out the cave. The sun light blinded my eyes as I came out. I wondered how long I had slept, it felt like for ever, but it also felt  like I had been asleep for a few minutes. I took a few pain killers that I had in my backpack...they helped, but not much. I sat on the boulder that I had sat on yesterday well at least I think it was yesterday. I took out one of those electronic clocks that tell time and date. My eyes widened with surprise, I dropped the clock. I quickly picked it up an looked at it again making sure I hadn't read the date wrong. According to the clock it had been 3 days since the day I had come to the forest, no wonder it had felt like forever. I searched my pocket for my other clock. This one wasn't new, it was from the other world, but it was very important to me...I was once told that it had been my father's so I carried it with me all the time, I was amazed to know that it hadn't been lost when Regina cast the curse. I looked at it once I had found it, it wasn't much but to me...there was no better clock in any world. This clock was the only thing of my father's that I owned. I know what you might be thinking 'Wait you have something of his? Do you know magic? 'Cause if you do then you can you it to find your dad!'. I already know that, and I do know some magic, but that's advanced stuff...and I'm not that good. I moved my left foot slightly, that was a mistake. I immediately felt a horrid pain in my entire leg and body. I winced, causing me to  drop my clock. I tried to kneel down and pick it up, but I couldn't. My entire body hurt, but nothing compared to my leg and head. I slowly rolled my pants up to see how bad it was. That was when I realized that my leg was completely bruised purple. My leg was at least twice it's normal size. Even though it hurt like hell I began to rub my leg, to see what had happened to it.

Auxiliator's POV

I drank the water that Milah had given me. I watched Rumplestilskin  hugging the baby. When I had told him that the baby had been born dead he didn't want to believe me, but in the end he did. I could see tears running down Rumplestilstkin cheek and he held tightly on to the baby.  I felt a strange feeling in my stomach, I wasn't sure what it was. I turned to Milah, who was standing next to me.She was also watching Rumplestiltskin...she was frowning.

"He seems to be very upset about this", I whispered to her

She nodded then turned to me.

"Shouldn't you leave?", she whispered so quietly that only I heard, "what if baby wakes up and cries? Then what do we do?"

I  smirked, "The baby doesn't wake up until 7 hours after it's birth"

"Oh", she said

I shifted my weight from one foot to the other.

"May I ask you something"

"What?"

"Well", I started, "um...it just seems that your husband loves you very much and that he loves your children, so why do this to him?"

Milahs narrowed her eyes on me,her fist turning white.

"Look I'm not a bad person if that's what you mean", she spat

"No no I just-"

"Just nothing, you have no right in judging me or my decisions...he's a coward"

"Um.. I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way I was just curious, but your right I'm sorry", I apologized, even though I still didn't understand how she could do that to her husband. Don't get me wrong if he were a bad man then I would be fine with it! But this guy, he didn't seem like a bad person. 

"May I ask another question?"

Milah stared at me  for a minute, then she sighed.

 "Fine, what do you want?", she said sternly

"What was the baby's name? I know it had something to do with an 'A', but I can't remember"

Milah turned back to look at Rumplestilstskin

"Aldara", she answered

"Aldara?"

Milah nodded slowly, not taking her eyes off Rumplestilstskin.

"It means 'Winged Gift', Rumple was the one who chose it" 

I nodded slowly and turned my gaze back at Rumplestilstskin. I  had done a million jobs like this one and worse...but for some strange reason, this was the first time that I felt the pain in my stomach. I now understood what the pain was...guilt, for I watched as this poor man's heart broke.

Aldara's  POV

Well even from my unprofessional work, I knew that my leg was broken. I made a homemade cast to fix it up with some off the things that I had 

from my backpack. I sighed. This wasn't good at all. I would probably not be able to get to town, because of how much it hurt. And even if I could walk all the way to town, some one would probably ask me why I  was limping and take me to a hospital or something. Your probably thinking 'Wouldn't that be good? You could get treated for your injuries.'. Well no. See if I end up at the hospital they'll ask questions I won't b able to answer and then, they'll call my parents...not the real ones, but the ones I had in this world. 'Great! More time wasted!'I punched my backpack, I was angry at my self for messing up so bad. Now I was going to have to wait to heal a little so that I could look for my father...because of a broken leg.
