Family Broken In Two [OUAT || RUMPELSTILTSKIN || Crocodile's Love #6]

Chapter 12

Mr Gold, Calista and Naomi were in shock to see Gideon standing in front of them and all grown up.

"H-How? How is this even possible? How... How are you here? How are you grown?" Mr Gold said.

"I've lived a full 28 years. I was in a place where time moved differently, where the Black Fairy raised me," Gideon said.

"Did she hurt you?" Naomi asked.

"Depends on what you mean. She toughened me up," Gideon said.

"What did she do to you?" Calista asked.

"She did many things, trying to make me evil, but she failed. Because in all of those dark years, I always remembered you, Mother. I tried to follow your example," Gideon said.

"So, you're not here to kill the Saviour?" Mr Gold said.

"No, of course, I am. Because once she's dead, I will gain her power. I will be the Saviour," Gideon said.

"Why would you want to do that?" Mr Gold said.

"Because there is another land in need of a Saviour now. I want to finally free it from the cruel reign of the Black Fairy," Gideon said.

"Defeating the Saviour won't be as easy as you think," Mr Gold said.

"I've seen it in a vision. I've seen her death at my hand. And I will kill Emma Swan, I will finally become a hero," Gideon said and he disappeared in smoke.

"C...Can he do that? Become the Saviour with Emma's power?" Calista asked.

"It's complicated, without the correct weapon he won't succeed, but he gets the sword, he can take her power and in a way become the Saviour, but almost an incomplete version," Mr Gold said.

"Incomplete?" Naomi asked.

"Saviours... They're... They're chosen before they're born, they're not made," Mr Gold said.

"Right... Okay," Calista said and moved away from them.

"Mum?" Naomi said.

Mr Gold motioned to Naomi to stay still, "It's not your fault," He said.

"Isn't it? I sent him away, I sent him to Will," Calista turned to them with tears falling from her eyes, "In what world isn't this my fault? Our son is out to kill my best friend, my brother's girlfriend... When Killian finds out, he and David will be out to kill him, no matter who he is to me or Naomi," Calista said.

Mr Gold walked to her and looked at her before hugging her, "We can't blame ourselves or each other, we need to stop our son, together," Mr Gold said.

"What?" Calista pulled away, "Pirate and Crocodile?" Calista said.

"No, parents," Mr Gold said.

"What do you suggest, dad?" Naomi said.

"You two talk to the heroes... I'll go to our son," Mr Gold said.

"Gideon..." He looked at Calista, "H...His name is Gideon Gold," Calista said.

"I like it," Mr Gold said with a small smile before he disappeared.

Mr Gold appeared in the woods and soon found Gideon, "Lonely here, isn't it?" Mr Gold said.

"If you're here to talk me off my path, you can't. This is my fate," Gideon said.

"Well, fate's a tricky business. It still requires work and planning," Mr Gold said.

"I see what this is," Gideon looked at his father, "You don't think I'm strong enough," Gideon said and he tried to walk away.
