She frowns. “I need to know what paperwork that woman signed. When she put him up for adoption. Didn’t she sign a waiver of parental rights? She can’t just show up and try to take Henry back. He’s my son.” She was honestly terrified of being alone again, she didn’t want to be in this situation.

“I could look up the proper paperwork. I have it filed.” He’d tell her she was being paranoid but really he didn’t know if she was. He hadn’t yet had much of a chance to talk to Emma and this Neal she’d brought with her. So he didn’t know her goals. “Though I am fairly sure she would have had to sign something like that. With the provision that she could change her mind within a certain amount of time, but that time would certainly be shorter than ten years.”

Quality Time || Henry and Gold

[trulybecomedust-blog]

Since Regina was watching him more and his parents in town, it was hard for Henry to do things or try and figure out the curse. He was being watched to closely. So instead, he decided to try and figure out who some of the people in town might be. At the moment, he was working on Mr. Gold. He now he had to be someone important. “Good morning Mr. Gold.” He said walking into the store and started to look around at all the things in there.

And of course the lad ignored his question. He watched curiously as the boy started looking around in interest, not seeming scared of him. Before he’d thought Henry was nervous of him, but maybe that wasn’t true. Or maybe he was trying to overcome his fears by being here. He wasn’t sure. “Like anything in particular?” he questioned in an attempt to get the lad to talk a bit more.

Collecting Rent || Mary Margret and Gold

Mary Margaret opened the door, surprised and a little nervous to see him. “Good afternoon Mr. Gold. You’re here for the rent, right?” She searched her brain, trying to remember if she had already written the check. She usually prepared, but she had been a bit distracted with the visitors in town and the John Doe from the hospital waking up. “Umm…you can step inside for a moment, I need to get my checkbook.” She hurried back into the apartment to find her purse. 

“Yes, I’m here for the rent,” he told her. Usually she was so good about handing over the money, so it was a bit odd that she seemed startled by him. But he supposed everyone had an off day. He stepped inside as she suggested, looking around. It was a small but neat looking space. She really had done well with it, especially since she lived on a teacher’s salary. He found himself slightly impressed. Not that he’d ever say it. Really it would probably just make her confused. So he just stood and fidgeted with his cane a bit, waiting for her to come back with the check.

Snow paused, she wasn’t far from the cage, but she was unsettled by the smile that he gave. It was creepy. “I…I need your help…” She wasn’t sure that this was the best idea. She knew that Charming would never have approved of it, and she was starting to see his point.

“You know about Regina’s curse…don’t you? The one she’s threatened us with? Charming and I are trying to stop it. But we haven’t found anything.” She knew that Rumplestiltskin didn’t care much for her, but he couldn’t possibly want this curse cast, could he?

She needed his help. Well of course she needed his help. No one ever came to him unless they needed his help. Which was ironic given their current situation with him as prisoner and the like, but he didn’t argue. He wanted her to trust him now after all, at least a bit. Enough to believe him when he told her how the curse could be broken.

And of course she thought the curse was Regina’s. He’d be offended if he didn’t want it that way. “There is no way to stop it,” he told her. Technically that was untrue. There were ways to stop everything. But he’d made this as fool proof as possible and with the time they had it wasn’t likly they’d find away. “But don’t forget... all curses can be broken.” He threw in a hand gesture then for good measure. After all, he had nothing else to do for entertainment. He might as well scare the queen at least a little bit.

She looked at him, thinking about it. “I suppose…seeing her happiness gone….if it could really be gone….” She shakes her head. “But how would that even be possible? I’ve never heard of a curse like that.” She thought about it, about all the opportunities she could have, a new life…that would solve everything, right?

He nearly laughed at that. Of course she hadn’t heard of it. He’d been keeping it under wraps for years. He didn’t want some group of well meaning heros coming in and destroying his efforts to get to his son. “There are many things you havn’t heard about, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist,” he pointed out, watching closely to see how she’d react to that.

Quality Time || Henry and Gold

@amagicstorybook

He looked up at the sound of the bell. “Henry,” he greeted, a bit confused. He doubted the lad’s parents would let him come here. Regina certainly wouldn’t and he didn’t think Emma and Neal would either from what he knew. Which left the question: what was so important about the shop that Henry would risk getting in trouble to come here? “What brings you here?”

Collecting Rent || Mary Margret and Gold

@freshfallensnow

He was going about his rounds collecting rent as usually. He did quite like this day of the month. It wasn’t quite so boring and he got to see the fear in everyone’s eyes. Which was of course much better than being home alone. And he knew what he needed was a real friend and that he wouldn’t get one with his cold demeanor but he didn’t dare drop that mask. If he did someone would hurt him, he knew. So he’d have to take pleasure in the outcomes of that, the small things. Like the terror. So that’s what he did.

And here he was, getting towards the latter part of his rounds. He was at Mary-Margret’s place now. The timid teacher, as he thought of her. Though he had the odd feeling that she could actually be intimidating if she tried. Not that he was going to dwell on that. He just knocked and waited for her to open the door.

He was in a very odd place right now. On one hand he was right where he wanted to be. Everyone thought he was completely powerless here in prison. He was weak here, more easily trusted by Regina and Snow both. Which was good. He had to convince Regina to cast his curse after all. And he needed to convince Snow his prophecy was true. So he was where he wanted to be.

But at the same time he wasn’t. He was caged and he was defenseless like they thought. It was a price he had to pay to get what he wanted and he didn’t like it. He didn’t like being locked up alone with terrible food and nowhere to go and nothing to do. He missed his wheel and his deals. He missed his freedom. He hated feeling so trapped and being treated so poorly, not that he’d expected differently. He just… he was ready for the curse to be cast already.

But it wasn’t. Not yet. No instead he heard footsteps. Footsteps he knew. “If it isn’t Snow White,” he greeted, moving to clutch at the bars of his cage, pressing his face between them and offering her one of his creepiest smiles. “To what do I owe this pleasure?”

She sighed, frustrated with that answer. “Tourism has never been our industry. I don’t want tourists coming through here disturbing our quiet life. Especially not them.” She picked a different route of questioning. “When you procured Henry for me, how did you do it?”

Yep, she was just mad because Emma was here for Henry. He’d heard rumors about that of course. That must be why Regina wanted them gone. Well too bad. They were staying and Emma was breaking the curse. That was how things were supposed to go. “I procured your son by filing the proper paperwork,” he said with a look that stated he would tolerate no further questions on the matter. “What does this have to do with anything?”

Regina paused, thinking about it. She was furious with Snow, and that anger had been building over years, but she wasn’t sure that she wanted to hurt Snow, sleeping had been the perfect punishment. But hurting… Regina pushed that thought away, thinking about David, her true love. Snow had killed him. “A worse fate…yes. I can teach her about pain. Give her the same fate that I suffered.”

“Perhaps,” he told her, watching closely. He wanted her to agree with him after all. He needed that curse cast. “Though wouldn’t it be fun to rule over them both. To watch them walk past each other day after day but not know who the other was?” Oh he hoped she thought this would be fun. Because if she did his plan was a success. He’d have a caster for the cure. And then… while then he’d finally, finally be able to get to his son.

She smiled sardonically, recognizing that he never sounded truly pleased to see her. “No need to lie, Gold. I’m not here for a pleasant chat, I’m here about Miss Swan and her companion. I want them out of town. And I’m sure you’ll understand that it’s in your best interest for them to leave also.”

“Well I know nothing about the two newcomers,” he stated with a frown, staring at Regina. “And I thought you’d like having visitors. It’s good for our tourist business.” Even if they didn’t really have a tourist business. After all, the never had new comers in Storybrooke. “Why on earth would I want them to leave, exactly?”

Regina looked frowned at Rumple, frustrated. “If I knew where you were hiding then I wouldn’t have to call you to the middle of the woods.” She hated feeling like she had to prove herself to him. “Snow White found her true love. He woke her. I didn’t actually get my revenge.” She hated knowing that Snow White would waltz away to her happy ending and Regina was left alone and hurting. It wasn’t fair. She had done nothing to the girl, shown her nothing but kindness and still the child ruined her life.

It was all so very petty. Her feud with Snow. The girl had told a secret in an attempt to help. And he couldn’t believe that Regina wanted revenge on her because of something she’d done as a child. But he never spoke of it. After all he needed this if he wanted someone to be able to cast the curse, which he of course did. “Would you have really been satisfied with that anyway? Snow always sleeping, unaware of what was going on around her. Surely you could give her a worse fate then that.”

Regina hadn’t gone looking for Rumpelstiltskin in a long time, she hadn’t wanted to deal with him since she had gotten rid of her mother. But now…things were different. She had failed to destroy Snow White’s happiness. And worse than that she had only motivated the two lovebirds to have their true loves kiss and seal their happy ending.

It hurt more than she could express to see Snow White with her true love after that ignorant little girl killed Regina’s true love. “Dark One, I need to talk.” She was out in the forest, her guards were making sure that no one would be listening in on the conversation. “Rumpelstiltskin, I need your help.” She called into the empty trees, hoping that he would honor her summons. There was always a chance he might ignore her.

He was spinning in the Great Hall when he heard his name called thanks to the bond with the dagger. He moaned ever softly when he recognized the voice. Regina. If she wasn’t integral to his plan he’d just let her figure things out on her own. She should be able to do a bit of that after all. Though he supposed he should be grateful that she couldn’t. It meant he got to shape her, planting the ideas he wanted her to act on in her head. Not that he’d expected her to take some of them quite as far as she had. 

He teleported himself there, leaning against a tree behind the queen. And this was why he hated talking to her. She always had guards with her and now she was probably going to wine to him about something or another. ‘Oh poor me born of nobility. I have so many pressing life or death problems.’ Oh well. Best get it over with. 

“You do realize I have better things to do then appearing in the middle of the woods to talk to you and your guards,” he stated lazily, watching Regina to see her reaction. “So you best give me a very good reason to stay.”

Regina walked into the little pawn shop, the small bell announcing her presence, reminding her of the woman that she was hiding from the world. “Gold? I need to speak with you.” She wasn’t going to be turned away, there were strangers in town who were threatening her kingdom. She couldn’t have new people in town, it was too much of a risk.

He’d met the strangers himself just yesterday evening. Only one wasn’t a stranger. Emma. The savior. And now thanks to her he had his memories back. Three hundred years worth of them. Admittedly it had been hard to keep a straight face in front of Emma and the man she’d brought with her, but he’d done it. He’d had to.

He’d stayed up all night though, sorting through his memories, reworking his plans and making sure they still held up. With another player in the mix this could be interesting. He would have to observe Emma and her friend closely. But he wasn’t going to get to do that anytime soon, because here was Regina, demanding things as always.

“Madame Major,” he greeted her back. “It’s a pleasure to see you as well.” That was tinged with sarcasm of course, more just pointing out that she hadn’t bothered with pleasantries at all. “I’d offer you a cup of tea but it seems that you are in a rush.”
