Storybrooks broken angel

The Deal

Henry is not very Henry like in this book so far, kinda basing his character off of how he acted with Emma after he found out his dad was alive, think the interactions would be similar if not worse.
Chapter 3

Henry PoV

He clearly thinks I'm joking, he just smiled at me and chuckled.

"Well dearie, I don't know what it could be thats running through your mind. But a deal with me really should be saved for more adult problems not just an argument with one of your mothers" If I wasn't angry before I sure am now. He's looking down on me, the way he said that was so condescending. Belle was just standing there behind him at the register looking at me smiling she thinks I'm kidding to.

"Look old man I don't have time for this and the way I see it what I want can benefit you to so maybe you should listen, this isn't just some kid stuff its important." Putting aside that Gold scares me at the best of times and Ignoring the fact that I am never this confrontational, I know this is more important than hurting some feelings. She could be in danger or hurting. " I need you to find someone, your the only one who can use proper magic at the moment and your gonna help me."   

No PoV

Both Belle and Mr Gold where in shock, this was nothing like the boy they both knew, all be it for Belle it hadn't been long. However despite Henry clearly not being completely stable at the time Gold was intrigued to say the least, a deal that could benefit him, what a bold statement to make for such a young lad. How could he back this up?

"Ok boy, you have caught my attention, but heed this warning, I will only help if you are correct in it being mutually beneficial, if not you can run along now and not waste yourself breath" He went into business mode, Belle was shocked he was taking the request of a child so seriously and was about to remind him that Henry was only 11and probably didn't mean any offence by it. When she looked to the boy and stopped. He looked like a man on a mission, like what ever he was about to say was a life or death quest that he had worked his whole life towards. She wanted to hear him out before scolding Rumple, she didn't want to belittle him when it clearly meant a lot to him, whatever it was he was talking about that is.

"I need you to find someone, but I have nothing of theirs, I don't even know there name. But your the dark one you can do anything, you found my dad, you're son after being separated, worlds apart. You found him." The boys made a fair point, but made no sense at the same time. What had they both missed that he was looking for a random person, before even finding out their name?

Gold walked forward hitting his cane against the wooden floor creating an echo through the silent shop." And how does finding this person effect me in the slightest, because as I see it now dearie, this has nothing to do with me, where's my benefit"

Henry then looked the dark one right in the eye, with a new almost unsettling confidence that cause Mr Gold, the Rumpelstiltskin, to take a step away from this small boy. "Well, oh mighty dark one, the person I'm looking for is my twin sister, your sons daughter in turn your Granddaughter. Who got separated from me because someone said that they only needed one child when adopting one of us as a baby. Oh and she was only adopted at about 6 so must have been whoever got me for Regina", Henry then took a bold step forward fuelled by anger, "who was that again, oh wait.... you got me for Regina didn't you Mr Gold"

Rumpelstiltskin PoV

This child, how dare he look at me that way. Regina only wanted one child, a son, she would never have taken a daughter in at that time. Her experience with Snow made that impossible for her, and I needed to get Emma to break the curse so it had to be Henry. " Are we blaming me now for your mothers choices, I think your in the wrong shop maybe you should go home before I get really angry. This child means nothing to me."

But Henry was quick to counter me before I even turned away saying "But your son does, and how grateful do you think he'll be when he finds out you, his dad found her and brought her to at least meet him." I froze at that, the boy had me there, he was convincing I'll give him that, what he said next was the nail in my coffin. "I mean you did abandon her first, and Emma has suggested that to him. Bet he's already upset considering how much effort he's putting into our relationship." The boy had me, how, this is nothing like his usually nosey self, he was bold, it was like he was dareing me to argue.

"What exactly do you prepose in exchange for me finding this girl for you" resigning myself to the fate the boy had set for me.

He continued to smirk at me "Nothing at all. And before you say..All magic comes with a price, or a favour for a favour, not only did I help you find Baelfire and help convince him to come to Storybrook where you are, but if you find my sister that means that Emma and Neal won't have to help me find her. Making him stay here no excuses to leave town. Am I right?" I hate being tricked, always have, but for a split second I saw the resemblance in the boy to me, and the look in his eye reminded me of Bae right before he jumped in the portal and I let him leave alone. I felt almost a sense of pride in him in that second.

Before I even knew what I was saying, the words "you've got a deal" had left my lips, and Rumpelstiltskin never backs out of a deal.

No PoV

The three of them gathered together different bottles directed mainly by the only magic user among them and placed the ingredients in a box closing the lid and heading out of the shop. They then made their way through, then beyond town into the surrounding forest.

"Umm Rumple, I thought you where finding the child, why don't you use the same spell that you used when finding Baelfire?" Belle was wary of the whole situation, she thought that they should have at least told Emma about the idea but both of her companions had been insistent not to involve the saviour in the matter.

Gold took a deep breath walking as quick as he could with his limp, "well Belle, that spell would be useless, as no one in this town own anything that belongs to the girl we have to find her using another spell, a tracking spell based on blood connection" at that he looked a the young boy who hadn't turned around even upon hearing the word blood, he thought it might have at least made him flinch however his mind was unwavering from the task at hand. Not until they made it to their destination, the old wishing well.

The same well Gold had used to restore his magic, it now held strong magical properties of its own and would make the spell much easier. They then watched as Gold poured different measurements from each bottle before pulling out his "Dark One" dagger and turning to face the boy. "All that's left is few drops of blood from a relative. Technically I could but your genetically closer so the spell will work better with yours. And even though I say this I can't promise it'll work I only just got magic back it's not guarantee to work well right now, so are you sure you want to do this dearie" Gold had barely finished his sentence when Henry grabbed the blade of the dagger and pulled his hand back along the sharp edge slicing it open. This action was all Gold needed for assurance as he took the child's hand in his own and allowed the blood to drip into the well around 6 drops before using magic to heal the wound best he could, healing spells not being his strong suit. Then he held his right hand over the well and recited the spell aloud "ex hoc gutta sanguinis quaerimus invenire persona, quae, quaerere."(it's supposed to mean- from this drop of blood we look to find the person of which, we seek.- in Latin got it off a website so could be wrong, sorry)the water rose and floated out of the well creating a small mirror, or bubble that rippled. Slowly an image was formed in the reflection, except it wasn't any of the people there.

It was a girl with long blond hair and big brown eyes. It was her. For the first time ever Henry was seeing the sister he didn't even know existed until about an hour ago. He was now more determined to meet her than ever as he watched the next few minutes of her life play right before his very eyes.
