Musings of a Madman

Despite the thoughts of the Evil Queen, or should he say Mayor Regina, he was unsure as to why he had directed the events that led to this point in the manner he had. Perhaps it was because, despite knowing the outcome, he wanted to see it play out for himself, he was sure that it would be very entertaining- for him at least. Maybe it was because he had needed a way out of his prison. Or possible a need to watch the others struggle along unknowing of the outcome.

Or just maybe it had to do with that unidentifiable feeling he got every time he laid eyes on her face. Emma. Such a powerful name. A beautiful one. Every time he heard her being mentioned, something within him gave a jolt. He didn't know why she made him so excited- maybe it was because of her role in all this. Or maybe it was something more.

The reason for his interference didn't matter- nor did the unfamiliar feeling. He had more important things to be doing, and maybe the answer would be revealed to him in time. However, at the moment he had more important things to be doing- namely, fulfilling a future.

A/N: Random inspiration while watching the second episode of Once Upon a Time. I just have this feeling that Rumpelstiltskin likes Emma for some reason. Call it random intuition- I guess I'll figure out whether or not there is anything later. Since this is my first work I would appreciate feedback, but I understand if you don't. Thanks for reading! (I don't own the show or anything in it.)
