(CHAPTER 13 - DARK HOLLOW)

Flashback: Storybrooke - Five Days Ago

Mr Gold and Belle were stood on the docks, saying their goodbyes as David untied the ropes of the Jolly Roger, "You have to stay here," Mr Gold said.

"No! Why? I want to help," Belle said.

"Well, Eva and Theo weren't working alone. Others will follow," he took out a vial with a scroll attached to it, handing it to her, "It's a cloaking spell. It'll shield the town making it impossible to find," Mr Gold said.

"Then, how will you find your way back to me?" Mr Gold glanced at David, who nodded and boarded the ship, "You're not coming back to me, are you?" Belle questioned.

"The prophecy," Mr Gold turned back to her, "The boy is my undoing, but he's also my grandson. I must save him," He said.

"I understand, but I also know...that the future isn't always what it seems. I will see you again," Belle said and they shared a kiss, before he boarded the Jolly Roger and it sailed off, disappearing into a portal.

Leroy, Archie, Mother Superior and the rest of the Dwarves ran onto the docks, towards where Belle was stood, "They did it! They saved us! They did save us, didn't they?" Leroy noticed her crying, "Tears of joy?" He asked.

"Are you okay?" Archie asked.

"What happened? Where is everyone?" Mother Superior asked.

"When they stopped the self-destruct device those people who came, Eva and Theo...they kidnapped Henry, and they took him through a portal," Belle told them.

"A portal to where?" Mother Superior asked.

"I...I...I don't know. Everyone else followed them on Hook's ship," Belle said.

"Why'd you stay behind?" Leroy asked.

"Because I had to," Belle said and held up the potion vial, handing it to Mother Superior.

"It's a cloaking spell. Why?" Mother Superior asked.

"Because Rumple said...he said that others were coming," Belle said.

Now walking through the Storybrooke mines, "Who exactly does Gold think is coming?" Leroy asked.

"He didn't say specifically," Belle said.

"Well let's not panic. I mean, for all we know, it's a precaution. Right?" Archie said.

"He did say they were working with the people who tried to destroy the town," Belle told them.

Leroy glanced at Archie, "Can we panic now?" He asked.

"Yeah, sure, maybe, just a little," Archie said.

"We'll be fine as long as we get this up in time," Belle said, holding up the potion vial.
