Dorian has been persistent. To persistent in my opinion. Why now? Has he always been stealing my blood? I always knew he made the deal with Dracula; I was there, and I helped him. Not like I have a choice. He has my dagger. Belle... she might be in potential danger. I'm going to do something. Something that will haunt me for the rest of my life, but it would haunt me if I don't do this. 

She doesn't love me. Dorian doesn't love me. Why would Belle love me? I kidnapped her. I see scales forming back on my hands. Even in this modern world I cannot hide my true form. Not like how Dorian can. My true form is coming back. The scales are forming on me. I can't let her see this. I feel guilty enough cheating with Dorian. I knock on the door.

"Rumple... did we have a date?" Belle asks.

"No... it's a little more serious than that." I say.

"Well, please. Come in." She says.

I nod. I have to do this. Dorian will hurt her otherwise and that's something I cannot have. 

"Are you alright?" She says.

"Why do you come and see me?" I ask.

"Because I l-" She says.

"Ahah. No you don't. I'm the Dark One as I said before no one can love me. You want my power." I say.

"No! Of course not! Rumple what makes you say that?!" She says.

"It's just.. we're done." I say.

"What?! You are breaking off with me?! Why?!" She yells.

I pull off my glove. I show her the scales were coming back. 

"My true form is being revealed. You don't want to get close to me." I push past her.

"Rumple! Stop!" She grabs my hand. 

I turn to her. Her face is swelling in tears. I pull away from her.

"It's over Belle." I walk out the door.
