Rumple's PoV

"You're under my control now..so do as I say, kill them.."

Resist. Resist this command. Don't kill them. Don't let this dagger make your family fall.

"I can't."

"You're not allowed to say no."

"Run..run all of you!"

"Wouldn't it be a shame, to lose three generations..."

"Rumple...I love you."

Let them get away..

"Run! Run get away from here!"

"Daddy?" Belle took our son, Rose and Felix took theirs, I was left here alone. So I'd thought.

"Now...Papa.." Bae? Why are you doing this? How are you here? "You promised. You'd said you would avenge me, start your new life with Belle without a lie..you haven't kept up with your promises now have you?"

"How are you-"

"Alive? You shouldn't be thinking about that, more so the generations you should be eliminating. Starting with the youngest. Let Belle see you slaughter the family you've built on a lie.."

"I never lied! You took it from her! What's happened to you Baelfire?"

"Perhaps I did. But you've allowed this to happen, giving so much power to a girl such as her. Shame to lose such a good wench. Good servants are quite difficult to find nowadays, especially with you so widely known.."

"What reason do you have for this?"

"I was your son. You promised to take care of me. Yet when there was a chance for you to be free you let me go. I went into a world alone. I was scared Rumplestiltskin, you let me grow up without a father, as if it wasn't enough you fell in love again, and had a new son. You've been there since his beginning. You haven't left him. I promise you'll be there for his end.."

What was he talking about? Chip was nowhere near death. Bae I'd thought dead. What isn't he understanding...

"As I said before..kill them.."

Belle's PoV

What's going on? Who'd taken the dagger from me to control Rumple? I couldn't make sense of anything..

Rumple's PoV

My family. Standing there awaiting the finale, the children began to whimper.

Linnea looked more like Felix in her hair and eyes, Adam had the same brown hair as Rose's side, though his eyes were like his father's. Chip, Chip had the mischievous brown eyes of myself, and the brunette of both me and my wife. Felix had his gray eyes and blondish hair, his hands had run through it recently. Rose, her green eyes now showed defiance, she's trying to defend them..My darling Belle..her blue eyes became watery, her smile was now gone.

"Start with the girl. Then the boys, Felix, Rosaline, and to top it off "your" Belle."

The dagger's command was forcing my hand. No, no, listen to the whimpers, look into your family's eyes, they aren't supposed to die..

"Father...stop..please.." Linnea was held tighter. "You're not under his control, no son of yours would do this.."

"If the bitch won't let you do what I've told you, show her I mean what I say. Hit her. Knock her down so that she'll kiss your boot.."

No. I can't lay a hand on her.

Do it. Raise that hand of yours..now a fist, see her face..land it right there on her head, knock her flat to the ground, a beggar at your feet.

Fist connected to skull. My Rose..

Was that so hard Dark One? Bet you it felt good didn't it. Taking out pent up emotions on her fragile being..

"Rose! Rose I didn't-!"

"Ha! See that wench? He's not changed for you. He's still weak from the dagger's power! If he truly loved you.."

"What the hell would you know of true love!? You abandoned yours!"

"And look at what you've begun to do..Killing the entire family you "built out of love". Right in front of her.."

Rose coughed, blood spurted forth. This being who looked the same as my passed away son took her head in his hands with a force that could have no good intention.

"Shame I'll have to start with what you've just given a bond to.."  He took Linnea, who Rose coddled in an embrace. "Care to join me? You'll do much worse than this if you don't.."

"What could be worse than slaughtering my entire family?"

"I'll have you do what you've done to me..abandon them forever. Even before then you'll see the struggles they've gone through, especially this whore here. Stealing the heart of Belle's betrothed. Then going to bed with him, no resistance..."

"He attacked her.."

"She could've fought him! She possesses magic does she not!? Is that why you prefer her over me? She has magic..that's your fixation. If that poor Gaston fellow hadn't been murdered he would've made a handsome father. For Belle or Rosaline's children. Not you or that. Why you would allow a scarred barbaric being into this family I never will understand."

"If you were truly my son you would accept the decisions I've made."

"I will be your son once more..so get on with it. Kill the barbaric being's spawn. In front of him, in front of her.."

A snap. A scream. Blood dripping down my hands..

"Next..."

¤¤

My entire family..gone..murdered by my own hand..their eyes shut..their blood down my body..

"Light Magic isn't your strong suit Rumplestiltskin. I don't think that'll ever change, especially since your wench and defiant harlot are gone.."

"You are not my son.."

"Well..good riddance then."

My own dagger went through my heart..

********

I still don't know what to say....
