Alexa scans the room, taking in her surroundings. They were in the lowest level of the castle where the cell of the one and only Rumplestiltkin laid. It looked like something out of a tv show.

"So this is Rumplestiltskin's cell, it's.. roomy." Alexa muses.

"I haven't been here since before Regina's curse." Mary Margret says. "This is where he told us that Alexa would be the savior."

"He knew?" Emma and Alexa question.

"It was prophesied. You see, Rumple has a special gift of seeing snippets of the future. He has a talent of using his knowledge of the future to his advantage." Mary Margret explains as they enter the cell. "Come on."

Once they entered the cell, the begin searching for the squid ink that had to be hidden in here somewhere. Most likely hidden in one of the cracks of the wall.

"The squid ink, it's not here!" Aurora exclaims.

"Gold said we would find it." Mary Margret states.

"Well, was there anyone else in here with him? Could they have taken it?" Emma asks.

"No, he was kept alone. Visitors were forbidden. He was too dangerous to allow any human contact." Mary Margret tells her.

"I'm assuming that his sanity was lost upon being locked up in here." Alexa comments.

"You're right about that." Aurora remarks as she pulls out a scroll from one of the cracks in the wall.

"What is it? A message?" Mary Margret inquires.

"Yes." Aurora nods as holds it out for Alexa to take. "And I think it's for you."

Eyeing her, she cautiously takes the scroll. Opening it, Alexa's eyes widen at the sight. It's her name, written over and over and over and over again. It had to have been written hundreds, even thousands of times.

"Oh my god." Alexa breathes. "He really did go crazy."

MANY YEARS AGO

A pregnant Snow White along with Prince Charming walk down to the cell of Rumplestiltskin with guards with them, hoods over their heads.

"Rumplestiltskin, Rumplestiltskin! We have a question for you." A guard calls.

"No, you don't. They do, Snow White and Prince Charming." Rumplestiltskin corrects. "Step into the light and take off those ridiculous robes."
