Events occurring 300 years before Dark Curse

Suddenly the hole, which ought to be a portal in another land, disappeared. And with it Baelfire. His beloved son Baelfire. The only one, who always has seen something human inside of him, even when nobody else did. Something, what someday won't be more than a gap, that can't be filled.
"Bae!", Rumpelstiltskin shouted out. With tears in his eyes he kept staring at the place, where his son has blamed him to be a coward, only seconds ago. And he has been right. He is a coward. He always was. But he never hated himself more for that than today. "I want to come with you, I want to come with you, Bae!", he cried, while his hands dug in the sagged soil, the only proof that this really had happened. "Bae! Bae!"
Deep inside he knew that this wouldn't bring back his son, but in actual fact it deflected him from his fear. His fear about where Baelfire has gone. His fear about what his son will have to expect there. And above all... his fear about a future without his son.

Oogie materialized in a wooded area as he followed that familiar sweet scent to its source, that delicious fragrance was in abundance and was an opportunity to which he could not pass up. In the clearing was a sobbing man, no not quite a man there was something else Oogie could detect in the fear the man gave off, a touch of pusillanimity was there but that was generally the case when fear was involved but the underlying thing that brought it all together; magic. Oogie walked toward the sobbing creature his long black coat scrapping along the leaves and dirt, a crooked grin stretched across his face.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?"

Rumpelstiltskin winced, as a shadow was approaching him. But he didn't really pay attention to it for now. For a little bit longer he was starring at the sagged soil. Still unwilling to believe that Bae has disappeared through this portal. Why didn't he came with him? Why did he had to be such a coward? Why oh why?
"Well, well, well, what have we here?", the stranger's voice suddenly sounded from above, regardless strode over the leaves and dirt. Over the place, where his beloved son was standing only minutes ago.
"Go away there...", Rumpel blustered with a scratchy voice.
Baelfire has gone, but to see the stranger's filthy boots on this place now, let him feel even more pain. Just like someone would walk over his grave. His... no, no! He only was in another land. It couldn't be impossible to find another way to get there. Anger was shown up on the Dark One's face, still firmly fixed on the ground, while he was slipping the earth through his fingers.

Oogie looked up at the moon chuckling to himself as the shadows moved along its surface. Oogie inhaled his scent as he walked around the creature who was wringing his hands through the dirt, oh the fear to be had here was just wondrous, not just his but the boys fear lingered here too even if the boy was only fearful of what would become of his father, it still bored an impressive taste. "Rumpelstiltskin... Or would you prefer THE Rumpelstiltskin. Such a shame what happened to poor..." Oogie took a deep breath inhaling the information the fear contained "I'm going to say Baelfire. Unfortunately that new world is in doesn't seem to phase him one bit." Oogie gave a small pout. "But oh the nightmare he does fear, the father who left him alone." Oogie began to become excited with his tormenting of the dreaded Dark One.

Rumpelstiltskin eyed the stranger's shadow, which was wandering around him, sniffing around like a nasty dog. Rumpel screwed up his nose. He hated that guy already now. And he would hate him even more for sure, when he will pipe up again.
"Rumpelstiltskin... Or would you prefer THE Rumpelstiltskin. Such a shame what happened to poor..."
As it was now.
"I'm going to say Baelfire. Unfortunately that new world is in doesn't seem to phase him one bit. But oh the nightmare he does fear, the father who left him alone."
Ok, that was it. He hated that guy like poison. "Shut up!", Rumpel flew off the handle, now looking at the stranger's face. A face full of confidence and wickedness. A face which reminded him of someone... himself. Rumpel was too much concentrated on his hatred to think about the guy's words. About what they supposed to mean. That he knew everything about him. That he knew about Bae and maybe where he has gone. "You wouldn't dare to lay a finger on my son.", he menaced with an extended finger.

"You wouldn't dare to lay a finger on my son."
"Again. I wouldn't dare lay a finger on your son AGAIN. And yes I would, I will dare to lay my fingers upon him and his children and his children's children until the end of time."
Rumpelstiltskin was fun to toy with, he was a sad pathetic caricature of a mage, sure Oogie thanked him for the fear he strummed up within people but he wasn't sure why people feared him so.
"That fear of the dark Bae had as a child or how about that time when as a toddler he felt something grab his leg while he was getting out of the bed in the middle of the night. That anxious ache in his heart that fears for what passes as the remainder of your... humanity. Oh how sweet a fear he had but nothing compared to that of a weak willed individual who couldn't even get his woman back from a scoundrel of a pirate, one who was so scared he permanently broke his leg to run away from the big bad ogres."
War time was a great feast of fears it was such a shame when Rumpelstiltskin had ended the but alas he had given Oogie a gift just as great.
"I must say Baelfire is a lot braver than you, his fear is but a faint trace compared to that time your father, well, we both know how that made you feel dont we."

Rumpelstiltskin's head raised in an alert way. Again? ...Did he really say again? And moreover, WHAT THE HELL was he talking about?! Actually he had no idea what this really was about, but if this bastard had ever harm his son, he will wish he wouldn't have done very soon.
"...who couldn't even get his woman back from a scoundrel of a pirate..."
Milah... How could it be that he knows about her? About what has happened. No matter how, he was a dead man.
"...one who was so scared he permanently broke his leg to run away from the big bad ogres."
Rumpelstiltskin's anger grew up almost to its limit. Deep inside he felt reminded of this former feelings. Of the fear he had back then. The fear that his unborn child could grow up without a father. And now? Did his fear become true nevertheless? Does Baelfire has to grow up without a father and even without a mother from now on?
"I must say Baelfire is a lot braver than you, his fear is but a faint trace compared to that time your father, well, we both know how that made you feel dont we."
"SHUT UP! SHUT THE HELL UP!", Rumpelstiltskin shouted all boiled with rage. Promptly he was up on his feed again to approach the guy who dared to talk to him like that. "Well my friend, if you're knowing me so well, you most certainly heard about who I am nowadays and how I deal with scum like you!" Just as he ended up the last words, his right hand raised up and a satchel charge of magic sped right towards the guy.

"SHUT UP! SHUT THE HELL UP!""Well my friend, if you're knowing me so well, you most certainly heard about who I am nowadays and how I deal with scum like you!"
Rumpelstiltskin sent a blast of magic charging right towards Oogie, the anger, the hatred, the fear now Oogie was feeling amused. Shimmering away like a shadow Oogie disappeared, The Dark Ones mighty magic passing through into the woods. Silently Oogie materialized behind Rumpelstiltskin only to lean in next to Rumpels ear, put on a faux shiver and say "Oh I'm really scared." Oogie walked right through Rumpel like a ghost passes through a wall and took back the place that he once had. "It would appear that this; Crocodile; snaps."
Oogie begun walking again, his long coat still scraping along forest floor. "As for knowing you, in this Kingdom who doesn't know all about you, who doesn't fear the wrath of The Dark One?" Oogie let out a chuckle "Well who aside from me."

Rumpelstiltskin felt exasperated by the sudden disappearance of the guy, who he almost has managed to silence. And again he felt reminded of someone. But it was really annoying to be on the other side of that scene. A shiver ran through him, as he felt a warm breath near to his ear.
"Oh I'm really scared.", it was sounding right beside him.
And before Rumpel could have said anything, the guy walked through his body just like a ghost. Through his body...? Rumpel couldn't say yet what kind of a creature this was, but he was not human, that was for sure. Still filled with anger he watched the stranger's steps till he has taken back the place where Rumpel tried to checkmate him.
"It would appear that this; Crocodile; snaps.""As for knowing you, in this Kingdom who doesn't know all about you, who doesn't fear the wrath of The Dark One?", the guy said, continuing his walk around him. "Well who aside from me."
That guy really began to piss him off. "Whatever.", Rumpel answered with clenched teeth, while his face was showing a mix of stifled anger and a put-on unphaised expression. He really had enough from that guy. He just lost his son and had to find out where exactly... Wait! For a little moment Rumpel's eyes met with the stranger's. This... man.. seemed for whatever reason to be fully aware of everything about him and his son. So there was an information he had to gain and this man was not here only to unmask him. "What exactly do you want from me?", Rumpel asked his opponent, being careful of every single word.

"What exactly do you want from me?"
Oogie rolled his eyes and slowly walked away from Rumpelstiltskin mumbling to himself "It's like I am the Grim Reaper or something, when any body finally meets the Boogeyman it's always straight to bloody business." Oogie began to rub the fingers of his right hand together and produced a small red die which he then rolled over his knuckles and between his fingers. Oogie walked over to a bunch of scrubs which quickly began to rise up allow roots and vines to twist and turn forming a nightmarish throne to which Oogie sat on fiddling with his die. "Rumpel, Rumpel, Rumpel, you have already given me the world. I have no further use a dog who runs away with its tail between its legs. You may carry on with what excuse for a life you have knowing that you got to cling to the fear that has always carried you and Bae... Well that will be a shame but I wouldn't worry about that for now."

Inwardly Rumpelstiltskin was seething with rage, while his eyes followed that egocentric crumb playing around with a red die. Disbelief was hiding behind his gaze, as suddenly a nightmarish throne was formed out of a bunch of scrubs in front of his eyes.
"Rumpel, Rumpel, Rumpel, you have already given me the world. I have no further use a dog who runs away with its tail between its legs. You may carry on with what excuse for a life you have knowing that you got to cling to the fear that has always carried you and Bae... Well that will be a shame but I wouldn't worry about that for now."
Rumpel's eyes were glued to his moving hands, fiddling with the die. Then they turned back to his opponent, now obvious filled with the spark of rage. Silence. "Well...", he began in an easygoing tone, underlining his words with a shrug of his shoulder. "Then I suppose you're not interested in a... banquet of fear, like nothing ever before. Pity!" With one move Rumpelstiltskin turned around and slowly strode some steps away.

"Then I suppose you're not interested in a... banquet of fear, like nothing ever before. Pity!"
A banquet of fear, Oogie could summon that up with a wave off his left hand but Rumpelstiltskin had him curious the excitement of it all electrified the air. Rumpelstiltskin had begun to walk away but Oogie wasn't having any of that, for now anyway. The vines and shrubs crunched, creaked and cracked as the throne of nightmares moved through the woods to appear on the opposite side of the clearing now facing towards Rumpel.
"You have my curiosity Stiltskin but my time is valuable, there is a kid in a village close to hear about to wake up and journey through the darkness for a drink from the well and that is an opportunity that I would greatly miss so you see the quandary you have put me in. So I will tell you what since I am such a gambling man we will let the die decide, an even number and I will listen to your proposition but if an odd number were to show then your life shall be forefit, deal? Good!" Oogie didn't bother with leaving a gap for Rumpel to reply as he knew Rumpel would agree to it.
Oogie shook his fist that contained the red die and threw at the ground let it roll and twist over itself landing at Rumpelstiltskin's feet. The red die showed four little white dots, as to whether it landed their naturally or with help can be debated but regardless Oogie's evil cackle roared over head. "It would appear that you now have Mr. Oogie Boogie's time."

Rumpelstiltskin's steps were getting slower, as he heard the somehow strange sounding noises behind him. And when all of a sudden the throne appeared in front of him, he stopped his walk. A satisfied smile was showing on the Dark One's lips. It would appear that this; whatsoever; took the bait...
"You have my curiosity Stiltskin but my time is valuable, there is a kid in a village close to hear about to wake up and journey through the darkness for a drink from the well and that is an opportunity that I would greatly miss so you see the quandary you have put me in. So I will tell you what since I am such a gambling man we will let the die decide, an even number and I will listen to your proposition but if an odd number were to show then your life shall be forefit, deal? Good!"
Rumpel's right eyebrow raised. This guy really seemed to like hearing himself talking. Game of luck, huh? Though he wouldn't be surprised about biased dice. "I'm really scared.", he interposed in a contrived way, while the die rolled. A four. An devilish smile appeared on Rumpelstiltskin's lips.
"It would appear that you now have Mr. Oogie Boogie's time."
"What a privilege.", Rumpel couldn't resist to comment on. Now it was his turn to take over the reins. Time to extemporize though. "What if I tell you that I have... something like... a weapon... to frighten people out of his wits. All of them." Rumpel wasn't sure if this guy would believe anything of that, at last he wasn't fully aware of what he was talking about himself...

"What if I tell you that I have... something like... a weapon... to frighten people out of his wits. All of them."
"Then I would try adding a splash of it to my snake and spider stew." Oogies cackle again roared within the vicinity of the pair. Oogie again shifted in his throne lifting a leg over one of the arm rests, "Dear Rumpel I can scare a man to the point of his heart stopping let alone his wits." Oogie moved restlessly on his throne he had expected more of a selling pitch from Rumpel instead of the trite predictability he was leading with.
"Dearie, I suggest you get to the point before I try adding crocodile into my snake and spider stew." a loud clap of thunder came with a flash of lightning while Oogie got serious and threatened the feeble imp before him.

"Then I would try adding a splash of it to my snake and spider stew."
Oh, how funny, linguistic genius... Rumpelstiltskin's expression went angry and above all impatient again. How much he would like to silence this annoying little creature. Right now. While it fidget around on his damn throne, the anger about it ever could have harmed his son came back all of a sudden.
"Dear Rumpel I can scare a man to the point of his heart stopping let alone his wits."
With every single word of his, Rumpel's hate was growing. Is that what he has done to Bae? Scared him howsoever??
"Dearie, I suggest you get to the point before I try adding crocodile into my snake and spider stew."
"Enough of this now!", he suddenly started to shout again, stamping his foot one time. "You will tell me where my son is or I'll transform you into one of your beloved vermin, got that, dearie?"

"Enough of this now!""You will tell me where my son is or I'll transform you into one of your beloved vermin, got that, dearie?"
Oogie spun on his throne and leaned forward the world around him slowly slipping into shadow, the impudent worm before him had no respect what so ever. Oogie left his throne and walked down towards Rumpelstiltskin, his throne wilting and rotting as soon as he left it, with each step the grass underfoot turned yellow and died off only for his long coat to scrape over it.
"Your precious son is somewhere, somewhere you would never step foot, somewhere when rises the moon. Walk up and face reality you sniveling gremlin you had your choice and you didn't choose him now I will go and I will embrace him as he walks through this new land he will forever be looking over his shoulder fearful of whats there, he will dread what every new corner beholds and he will resent you for abandoning him to that life. You should be careful who you turn into an enemy lest they obtain your dagger."
Oogie reached into his coat and pulled out the dark ones dagger, twas merely an illusion he was using to illustrate his point. Oogie laid the dagger flat on his hand presenting it to Rumpel only for it to disappear in a puff of black smoke. Oogie then turned to walk away leaving all of Rumpelstiltskin questions unanswered.
"Oh and Stiltskin, dont you ever disrespect Mr. Oogie Boogie.."

Rumpel knew that this was the time, when he failed to make an agreement with that psychopathic guy. But what of it! He anyway never needed the help of this creature. He will find a way to get united with his son again, no matter what. No matter how far he had to go for it. It was the worst decision he ever made... not to go with Bae. In a land without magic he would be the same handicapped coward as before, but he wouldn't be without his son.
"...You should be careful who you turn into an enemy lest they obtain your dagger.", his opponent ended his sudden diatribe.
Rumpelstiltskin's head raised up promptly. This couldn't be! He was lying! With an unbelieving expression and a twinge of panic he stared at the guy's hands, which were holding the dagger with his name on it. The Dark One's dagger. One moment later it all of a sudden disappeared in a puff of black smoke. A wave of relief was showing on Rumpel's face, even if he tried to hide it.
"Oh and Stiltskin, dont you ever disrespect Mr. Oogie Boogie..", the guy's last words reached his ears.
"Mr. Oogie Boogie, huh?", Rumpelstiltskin was mumbling to himself, when the creepy creature already wasn't more like a little silhouette in the landscape. Oh, he would remember that name. He wouldn't forget about the man, who harmed his son. Rumpel would find a way to even have control over this man someday. And when that time has come, he will figuratively speaking spit right into his face. A devilish grin appeared on the Dark One's lips, as he imagined that. Ok, a plan to get to this land without magic... The Blue Fairy! She was the first on his to-do-list, as she was the one who told Bae about that other land. The root of trouble. "Reul Ghorm! Show yourself!"
**And so the story took its course... **
