Queen Regina's Kingdom - Dark Castle - Outside

Events occurring 5 years before Dark Curse

Rumpelstiltskin went through the castle's gates, letting them slam shut behind. What was that feeling sometimes came up recently. Well, inwardly he knew that feeling, have felt it once before. But he never would allow himself to acknowledge it. So it made him angry. He even musn't think about such a thing, about such a feeling and above all what is causing it. Maybe he even had to get rid of the causer itself...

No, he just had to concentrate on something different. On the important things. It was time for a new deal. And there was one being, never object a deal.
"Dark Knight!", Rumpel called out loud and slowly, never got tired of tasting the flavor this exclamation brought along. "I call for you!"

"I call for you."

Aiden felt the pull of the dark magic and fought against it unfortunately his suit of armor felt differently and before he knew it he was standing in front of the dark one, well this incarnation of the dark one at least. Rumple had given him a longer leash and called him less often as his previous owner but Rumple was far quicker and more forceful when pulling on the leash. Aiden found it harder to fight Rumple with each confrontation they had, Aiden would say no and fight, Rumple would pull the choke and Aiden would concede and do as commanded, death would be a sweet embrace.

"You called, my liege." the last two words were spat out with venom.

"You called, my liege."

"I can let you bite off your own tongue, if I want to, dearie.", Rumpel threw in with a nasty grin, referred to the vitriolic tone in his gofer's voice.
Then the grin disappeared and with a more serious manner, as much as this was possible, speaking of the playful imp, he came right to the point.
"Did you ever heard of a girl named Aurora?", he asked the Dark Knight, not really awaiting a helpful answer, as he didn't see much more in him than an assistive equipment. It even wasn't necessary to carry on a conversation. There was only one little command needed and this guy had to do whatever Rumpel wanted him to do anyway. So this... was just out of fun. As he knew how much his opponent hated it.

"Did you ever heard of a girl named Aurora?"

Rumple liked to talk and play games thinking he was clever instead he came of witless with a voice that was as unpleasant as nails on a chalk board. Aiden bowed his head once he wold have cut a demon like this down in an instance, the local towns people would have revered him as a hero, one he was a knight in shiny armor now he was clad in black forced to smite those who crossed the demon controlling him. The  only solace Aiden had left was death, any time he died he was taken to that place, taken to her, her blonde hair waving in the wind, her voice calming and the representation of innocence. He felt his blood boiling, the lust to kill growing strong a battle could mean seeing her, the brief moments with her a treasure all of there own.

"Spit it out Imp and get to the point."

"Spit it out Imp and get to the point."

With one single move of his hand, which actually was just raised in the Dark Knight's direction, Rumpelstiltskin silenced him.
"This is the last warning, before you're going to miss something in your mouth, dearie!", he said in a high-pitched tone of his voice, before letting up on him. This lowlife shouldn't even get the idea to give him commands... the Dark One. No one... ever... will do that again. Rumpel tried to calm down himself. Why the hell he was so testy today? With a shake of his head he shook off that thoughts.
"But...", he continued with his usual nasty grin. "since I need your gift of speaking in this, I connive that. This Aurora person, I want you to find her and to make sure that no one causes harm to her."
For a little moment Rumpel had a doubtful expression on his own face. This command somehow didn't sound like him.
"Just make sure she lives.", he suddenly throw in with a wave of his hand, already facing away from the Dark Knight.
