Rumpelstiltskin's Heir

Let's do this then.

Aldara's POV

"I need a moment alone Aldara, could you please go get some wood or something?"

"Yeah, sure dad." I frowned as I walked into the forest. My father has been acting weird and won't tell me what's wrong which worries me. I thought we were in that trusting relationship. I guess I was wrong. Or maybe it's that he thinks I'll abandon him like Neal? I shook my head and sighed as I began to pick some good dry sticks. 

"Here this one's good."

I turned around to find Peter with a branch in his hand.

"I can do this on my own Peter. Why don't you go back to your camp and worry about your own plans."

"I don't need to. Everything is going according to plan."

"Oh well good for you" I said sarcastically

"How has your father been?"

"What do you care- wait. I never told you who my father was."

"No. But he is Rumpelstiltskin isn't it?"

"How-"

"Please Aldara I'm not stupid. This is my Island. I was bound to figure it out."

"I-I. I should be getting back to my father."

"Why don't you two leave Neverland? Didn't you see how your brother treated him?"

"It's just...he doesn't understand."

"That's because he doesn't want to understand Aldara. Don't you see your father will never be forgiven by Neal. You have to forget him. Go back to Storybrooke. Be the family you deserve to be with Belle. Give life another shot, instead of trying to help someone that doesn't want to be helped."

"You're just saying that because you don't want us to save Henry." I said trying to convince myself more than actually believing it

"We both know I'm saying the truth Aldara. Go back to your father and go home."

With that he disappeared leaving me more confused than ever.

~Skip to when they call for Ariel~

My father and I followed Regina to the water, wondering what we were doing. My father had already tried using squid ink and we all know that ended up exploding in his face. I zoned out for a minute until a saw a mermaid appear in the water. I stared at her mystified. She was amazing.  And most important....her name was Ariel.

"Wait....did you know a crab named Sebastian?" I asked enthusiastically

"Sebastian? I haven't heard that name in ages. Did you know him? Is he alright?" asked Ariel with a hint of sadness in her voice

"Of course she doesn't know him. I killed him that same night." snapped Regina

Ariel seemed at the verge of tears.

"You didn't kill him. He survived."

"That's not possible."

"Yes it is. I knew Sebastian....he saved me."

We all stood in silent until my father reminded us that Ariel was here for a reason. To help us. 

~When Ariel came Back~

Regina gave Ariel the bracelet once she had used her magic and Ariel had been successful in bringing the box for my father. Before leaving Ariel swam close to me.

"How is Sebastian?" she asked quietly

I blinked, not knowing what to answer. How could I tell her that he was dead? Tell her that I'm happy for her, and I wish her to be with her true love. Tell her I regret nothing. 

"He's happy that you're ok, he wants you to be with your love and he wants you to know he doesn't regret anything."

"Thank you. Tell him I'll never forget what he did for me." she smiled before disappearing under the water.

~Episode After that~

I giggled at Regina's shocked expression when my father told her my brother was alive. I smiled thinking of my father's words. We were going to save Henry. 

I bit my lip as we ran into the others and Neal started saying all those things about my father. Everyone turned on my dad. He stayed calmly staring at him, knowing that they wouldn't believe him, but of course I'm not as calm as he is. I summoned the flames in my hand and stared at them, the anger inside me making the flames stronger. Really was it that hard to give him a second chance?

"Your making a mistake."

My father tried to convince them, in the end he handed Neal the box. UGH! Neal you're such an ignorant brother. I followed close behind, not trusting them with my father's life. I listened to my father's option for saving David's life. Stupid brother ruining my dad's deal. 

I giggled when y father said "...But I'm not walking in with only my good looks" I love my dad's humor.

"Help!" called a small voice. She ended up being Wendy.

We all sat down to ask Wendy where Henry was. I was ready to slap Wendy when she lied to us. Everyone was able to convince her to talk, she explained Pan's plan. My hand wrapped itself tightly on my dagger as I listened. If we don't get our act together...Henry's dead. Everyone started to plan out what we were going to do. As usual I stuck to my father and went with him, Emma, Regina, and my brother.

~At skull rock~

"Dad please be careful. Don't let him do anything to you ok?" I said nervously as my father crossed through the force field. 

"Don't worry about me Aldara. I'll be back with Henry in no time."

I gave him a weak smile as he left to face Pan.

"So you knew Sebastian?" asked Regina

"Yeah...um he was...my boyfriend."

"Was?" Regina crossed her arms

"Sebastian?" Emma asked confused about our conversation

"Wait you had a boyfriend?" exclaimed my brother

"I'm eighteen don't freakout on me Neal. And he was because well...he was killed saving my life."

Everyone fell silent.

"I'm sorry to hear that." said Regina barely above a whisper. I found her apology ironic because she had tried to kill him, but I also felt that it was sincere. 

~They block the moon~

Regina, Emma and I raised our hands and concentrated. I took a deep breathe ans the clouds began to cover the moon. As our shadows disappeared in the dark walls, my brother passed through the force field. Next was Emma, the Regina and I was last. I couldn't wait to find my father, help him save Henry and get the hell out of this place. I never want to be on the evil devil world every again.
