Rumples POV
"GET THE HELL OFF HER!" I scream at Scar.
Just as Belles eyes were about to close, he let her go.
She gasped, coughing and spluttering.
"Belle!" I tried to fight against my ropes.
I so badly need to hold her.
She sat clutching her neck, unable to fight off Scar anymore.
Scar stood up, towering over Belle, panting.
"....what now..." He turned to Mo.
Mo shook his head.
I couldn't help but let a mocking laugh escape.
"It looks like your little plan has failed, dearie," i still struggled against my ropes.
"Oh no, I'm not done yet," Mo wouldn't admit defeat.
Belle struggled up, using the wall for support.
"This is over...." She croaked, making her way toward me.
Mo stepped in front of her, his hand curling around her neck.
"Take one more step and I'll..."
"You'll what? Kill me?" She whispered, looking deep into his eyes.
Mo was silent, staring back into hers.
"Go ahead, kill your only daughter," she wheezed.
She was getting to him. Rotting him to the core.
His hand fell along, with Belle.
She pushed past him and started to undo my hands.
I sigh with relief as she undoes the nots and I'm free.
As soon as I am I stand up and push her into my chest.
"Sweetheart...." I squeezed her tight.
"Rumple..." She whispered into me.
I stick my nose into her hair and take a deep breathe, breathing her in, my thumb stroking the back of her head.
A clicking sound made my head snap up.
Mo had a gun.

Belles POV
My Rumple, I have him back. I have him back.
I squeezed him so tightly. Tighter than I ever have before. How could I have thought he left me? Guilt ran through me as I remember everything I'd said and thought about him.
He held me close and cradled my head.
I was oblivious to everything, until Rumples head snapped up.
I turned around.
Father has a gun.
I gulped and took a step back.
Rumple took a step forward, I gripped his arm that he had across me protectively.
"Stop this now," my shaky voice came out.
"I won't stop until he is dead,"
As I heard this my hands gripped Rumples arm tighter.
"Enough Mr French," Rumple backed away.
"You don't move!" Father shouted, he sounds like a mad man.
"I'll shoot, I, I, I will!" He threatened.
He doesn't fool me.
Slowly I lower Rumples arm and move in front of him.
"It's over," I say.
"If I have to shoot you Belle too - I will!" He carried on, in pure panic.
But me, im calm.
"It's over...." I say again, taking Rumples hand in mine.
I turned us around and with each footstep I was more and more sure he was going to shoot.
But he never did.
At least not at us.
