Rumpelstiltskin's Heir

Numb (Part 1)

It was early in the mornig, like around six. Ever since the fight my father hadnt let me out of his sight. That also ment I had to stand Lacey. I hated every second of it. I knew that this wasnt the real her, but I cant help hating Lacey. Ofcourse the whole not letting me go anywhere didnt go unpaid. I dont talk to my dad, and since hes the only one who talks to me I might as well be mute. After the fight I was able to text my brother explaining everything and telling him I wouldnt be able to hang out with him, but before he could text back, my dad took my phone (might I add at Laceys suggestion). I was currently leaning against my fathers car trying to ignore what was going on. Dr. Frankenstein or was it Dr. Whale? Whatever his name is, he looked at Lacey and my dad got jealous. So now my dad was going to beat the everything out of him. I thought it was so silly, he was making the guy kiss his shoe for goodness sakes. Obviously Lacey was enjoying the attention, since she was smirking as my father delt with poor old Dr. I shook my head I couldnt believe she was ever the wonderful person (Belle) my father had told me of. Some one passed by me and pulled my father off Dr. Frank (Im to lazy to call him Frankenstein so Ill call him Dr. Frank for now on.) I moved from the car suddenly intrested, I didnt know much people that had the guts to go up against my father in this town. My eyes widened as I saw brother.

"What are you doing!?", asked Neal as he held our father

"Stand aside this doesnt concern you." said my father angrily

"No."answered Neal, " Now go!" he yelled at Dr. Frank, who quickly got up and walked away.

"Let go of me son!", yelled my father pulling away from Neal.

"Surprised you didnt turn him into a snail."

Lacey giggled, "A snail? W-what are you talking about?"

I almost hit slambed my head with the car. Was she already drunk?

"Lacey uh why dont you go wait for me in the shop with Aldara. Ill be along shortly."

Lacey didnt seemed to please about this and seemed a bit confused. Non the less she did as she was told. She walked over to the door and shook the keys in my direction as if to say Come on. But I crossed arms and stood straight. I wasnt going anywhere. Lacey got the message, rolled her eyes and went inside.

My brother laughed, but it wasnt real laughter it was more like Im pissed off right now and all I can do is laugh kind of laugh.

"Youre unreal you know that? You spend years looking for me, I come in town you disapear. You havent even bothered meeting Tamara."

My brother beggins to walk away.

"Why should I concern myself with her?"

"Were getting married!" My brother yells as he comes back.

"Its never going to last. Not as long as you carry a torch for Emma."

Ouch. I knew it! So Im not the only one who thought so.

"You havent changed one bit! For a second I thought you might have. I started to think maybe you were worth my time. I guess I was wrong."

"And yet youre still here!"

"For Henry. For me. Even for Aldara. Not you. As far as Im concerned you can stay as far as hell from me." With that my brother stormed away.

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Did he say even for me? He cares about me? I am one of the reasons he stayed? I couldnt breath. I stood there processing my brothers words. Then I heard the bell of my fathers pawn shop door ring. I turned around just in time to see my father walk in his shop. I kicked a rock and tried to hide a huge smile that was trying to grow on my face. I walked into the shop silently, thinking about how I finally had a brother, not by blood, but bond. He was my family. I sat in my usual corner, and took out my book. Its a Charlie Bone book, I know it was in the children section but I really want to know what happens to the Red King and Charlie. I barely open my book when I hear someone clear their throat.
