39. The War to End All Wars

With a mighty roar, I watched as Red Riding Hood transformed into a wolf before my own eyes. She took out swarms of creatures, aiding our cause greatly with her strength as the wolf. I fought through the immense throng of trolls, taking out five before I finally reached the great dragon.

I took my sword and swung it mightily, hitting it on its legs. It let out an angry roar, and belched out flames into the sky. "I need a horse," I murmured, rushing into the throng of beasts and people.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" asked a fairy as it flittered in front of my face. She put her two fingers into her mouth and whistled loudly. Soon, a great horse galloped towards me, and I climbed onto the magnificent stallion.

"Thank you," I said, bowing my head gratefully. "HYAH!" I nudged the horse on as the dragon began to give chase. "That's right, follow me, you big brute!"

I looked behind me as the dragon spurted a fireball at me. I quickly steered the stallion, dodging the fire. "Come on, show me what you got boy!" I urged the great horse as I led him into a full on gallop. I turned, and saw that the dragon was right behind me, mere yards away. I turned, and threw my sword with all my might, hitting it straight in the chest. The dragon exploded, and due to the impact and being off balance, I was flung from my horse.

I moaned, and rolled over to the side. "Well, well," said a cold, cruel voice. "Look what we have here. Prince Charming, is it?"

I didn't have the energy to speak or move, so I just lay there, groaning on the ground. "I want to see your face. I want to see the look on your face as I take your life!" cried Regina as she took off my helmet. She gasped as she realized who I was. "A woman? How the hell can that be?"

"Women can do anything they set their mind to," I choked out as the woman in black dragged me to my feet. "And right now, you are going to let me go."

"Or what?" sneered the Evil Queen.

With the last bit of strength I had, I elbowed her in the face, my armor knocking her out unconscious. "I'd do that," I sighed as I wobbled, trying to get my balance. I wiped my mouth, and stumbled back into retreat. If I stayed and someone challenged me on the field of battle, I would surely die.

I made my way back to the other side, and glanced back at the battlefield. I watched as Snow White and Prince Charming fought together, side by side, and through their love for each other and teamwork, they managed to take down each one of their adversaries. I began to get woozy, but before I could stumble, I felt someone from behind me steady me. "Easy there, love," said Rumplestilzkin. I turned, and fell into his arms. "Belle! Belle, what on earth?! What have you been doing this whole time?"

"I killed the dragon," I said before I kissed his warm, sweet lips. "I wanted to fight. I want my daughter to remember how brave her mother was when the battle for good defeated evil…"

"You're hurt," said Rumplestilzkin as he brushed my hair away from my sweaty face gently. He had tears in his eyes, and he gently touched the side of my head. I felt the power of his magic flow from his touch through my skin, and I felt my strength returning back to me. "Belle, I'm so proud of you. You have helped us defeat evil once and for all, and you are the reason why so many of us are still alive."

"Not for long," said Regina as she staggered over to us.

"Regina," hissed Rumplestilzkin as he stood in front of me protectively. "What do you want?"

"That bitch nearly unhinged my jaw!" she screeched. "You will get out of my way, and let me kill Belle right now."

"Your army has been defeated, Regina," said Rumplestilzkin as he walked up to Regina, staring her down. "You have nothing. Accept defeat, and we will let you go unharmed."

"I said, get out of my way," barked Regina. She began to wave her arms, and instantly, Rumplestilzkin grabbed her throat.

"Oh, and I said to accept defeat, and you will leave unharmed," gritted Rumplestilzkin harshly. "But some people like to go through things the hard way."

"Kill me then," she rasped as she gasped for air. "Do it."

"This is for my daughter, as well as all the children and people of fairy world!" cried Rumplestilzkin as he broke the Evil Queen's neck. Her eyes widened, and her body went slack. "So everyone will be free to be happy… Even someone like me…"

My eyes widened as Regina's limp body fell to the floor. Soon after, all fighting halted as everyone felt the change in the air because of Regina's death. "VICTORY!" I bellowed, throwing my fist in the air. A voluminous roar answered me back, and I threw my arms around Rumplestilzkin, and kissed him passionately.

"Mommy, why do I have to go to school?" asked Amanda as I braided her long brown hair.

"Because you are a bright young lady who needs to explore your options," I replied as I hugged her. "Come now, Snow White is your teacher, and she's going to love you. You are my sweet, brilliant daughter. Plus, you've gotten my brains, so you will do well in school."

"Hey!" cried Rumplestilzkin as he appeared behind me. He kissed me on the forehead. He put a hand on his chest, and looked taken aback. "I'm the smartest man you know!"

"Eh," I said with a smirk. "I don't know too many men…"

"Ah!" scoffed Rumplestilzkin.

"Mommy, when will my baby brother or sister come?" asked Amanda as she placed her small hand on my growing belly.

"Soon enough," I smiled. "Soon enough."

I watched as Amanda walked out of the Dark Castle towards the school building where Snow White taught all the young children of fairy world. Rumplestilzkin put his arm around me, sighing contentedly. "I love you, Belle," whispered Rumplestilzkin into my ear. "You have brought me so much happiness, as well as two gorgeous children."

"Well, one so far," I smiled as I touched my stomach. "And how do you know this one will be as gorgeous?"

"I just know," smiled Rumplestilzkin as he caressed my belly. "I just know…"
