Broken

Prologue

I didn't know what to do. He was gone, for sure, no magic could get him back. So I lied down on his still warm body wishing for him back.
"Daniel?" I said in barely a whisper,
"Come back to me, I need you" I was weeping now I was so angry and sad. My mother! How could she do this to me? I was filled with a hatred so strong it could flatten a mountain.
"RUMPLESTILTSKIN! RUMPLESTILTSKIN! RUMP-"
I sounded physchotic, but he came.
"Now dearie, we don't have to yell..."
he said with his usual "tee-hee"
"SHUT UP. I JUST LOST THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND-" cut off again.
"Dearie, don't take that time with me now, you need me... So, what can I do for you today?"
"Daniel is... Dead" I said breathlessly
"Well I know that!" He said laughing and picking his arm up and dropping it.
"What do you want me to do about that?"
"I know you can't bring him back. No magic is powerful enough,"
"I taught you well, dearie."
"Why," I continued "does it hurt so much?" Then I couldn't bear to look at him I screamed, my chest and my heart burning with anger and sadness. Rumple looked at me with sad understanding eyes.
"Regina," he said, and I looked up because he only really ever addressed me as Dearie,
"It hurts, because it was real." I saw something flicker behind his eyes,
"Your mother, doesn't have a heart."
"And how would you know?" I said curiously
"Your mother and I once were in love. But she knew what was best for her and took out her heart, for me. And now? She doesn't have one. She can't love and she is a monster."
"wow. Okay first of all EW gross, and second of all, I'm sorry. Can you help me?"
"Dearie, I wish I could. I can make you forget but it's not worth it. But I can tell you that one day someone can direct you to the one you truly love. Again. You get a second chance."
"Really? That's- amazing. But one more question..." I said looking into his devilish eyes,
"How could this happen?"
"Snow White of course" he said, vanishing.
Right then and there I knew the only thing I wanted in life,
to kill Snow White.
