Rumple could always feel a desperate soul & of course a desperate soul was better in dealing with for after all, they where more quick to not think before making a deal with him or what the out come could be with doing so. Not that hit was his fault that people did not bother to ask more, but then at times he did not answer other then they owned him later for he was waiting for something worth asking for.
Of course he knew he the soul was that drew him to them, he always did just as this time he knew what to ask for form them, something that would not be so simple to get even if it sounded so, but it would work out for him later with some other deal he was sure.
He disappeared in a puff of purple smoke before appearing dressed in his leather scaled pants, boots, vest & black shirt close to where he knew the one that was in need of his help was, he could not help smirk with the idea of a deal about to be made.

Red slumped against the base of a tree, her tears leaving fresh tracks down her face and creating small mud splotches in the dirt below her. Everything she had ever known was a lie. She was a dangerous, monstrous creature. Never before had she thought herself capable of taking someone else's life and though a voice inside told her that it was the wolf, that she had absolutely no control over what the wolf had done, she couldn't help but feel as completely responsible as she would have if she'd driven a knife through someone's heart.
She would give anything to have Peter there right now to hold her. To help her through this, as she knew he would have. But Peter was dead, killed by the wolf. Killed by her. She gave a start as she realized that she was no longer alone. She could sense a presence nearby.
"Who's there?" Red scanned the area until her eyes fell on the strange man. "Who are you? What do you want?"

Rumple saw red he smirked, he had heard the rumors & whispers just like all about the wolf, though he did not miss the fact she was the wolf, at least at some points one things about his magic it allowed him to feel such things, other then her actions said she was more alert then a human should be for another thing. At her words his smirk grew before he giggled lightly, as he moved closer to her he watched her his eyes that where not normal & only added more fear into ones soul, all the better for him.
"I dearie am Rumpelstiltskin & I think the question is more what you want dearie?" He giggled again, before he stopped though he was still close he watched her, though he did not fear her, he feared nothing after gaining his power or more he did not fear now, because he had nothing to lose & none knew how to control him.
He waited for her to answer to say what she wanted & he knew a deal could be made for a price of course, it was he did not know if she would know the full impacted the deal could have.

His laugh sent chills down her spine and Red found herself involuntarily taking a step back as he moved closer to her. Rumplestiltskin...the name sounded familiar to her but she couldn't place it. Perhaps something she had heard as a child in the village?
She didn't know who this man was yet every bit of her instinct was screaming for her to run. But seeing the ease with which he snuck up on her, she knew running would probably be a futile gesture. Instead, she forced herself to stand and planted her feet firmly on the ground while she kept her guard up.
"What I want, I am not certain you have the ability to give." Red replied, for no one could bring the truly dead back to the world of the living and what she most desired was Peter.

Rumple could not say he was not enjoying this, it was clear she wanted to run like a rabbit yet did not, though it would of been fun at least to him, after all when it came to a predator he was the best & few could out do him, at least when it was his ways with rules. At her words his smirk grew, allowing his upper lip to draw back to show his top teeth that had darkened to a color that did not look healthy,
How ever he did not miss her words "I can do almost anything... for a price of course... what ails you child?" Ow he was starting to chomp at the bit so to speak, with what he knew would come, of course he would have to wait to see what she said, though he knew that he indeed could help with out of her issues that bound her like no other.

Maybe...maybe he could do what she wanted. Red could feel her hope at the prospect start to overpower her reservations about this Rumplestiltskin. The words began to tumble out of her mouth before her sense had a chance to stop them, "My true love is dead and it is all my fault. All I want is to have him back."
The overflow of emotion she felt actually saying those words almost overwhelmed her but Red knew it was not the time or place to let them get the better. She shouldn't have said them, for she couldn't help but think that involvement with Rumplestiltskin could prove to be dangerous.

Rumple felt a flicker of something in him awoke at her words, his pain of losing Belle was far form over & unlike others he did not want to forget her or the pain, for at the time or at least the right time it was the only thing that keep him something human, even if he was not any more. "Death is one thing that even magic has its limits" Why give hope when there was none & if magic could do what she wanted, he would of done it to save Belle yet magic could not bring back those that where dead, it could save those on the brink of death, but not death its self. His eyes flickered on her before he spoke on "How ever the other issue that troubles you I can help with"

If possible, her heart hurt even more than it had before. The loss of that moment of hope, however brief, was devastating. But even in her grief, her keen senses had detected the slight change in Rumplestiltskin and she couldn't help but wonder if he too had experienced the heartache of a true love lost.
If there was no bringing Peter back, the next best thing would be to avenge him. She wasn't suicidal, that wasn't what she wanted to accomplish. But if she could be rid of the wolf...be rid of the constant reminder of the thing that had killed him...maybe then she could find peace.
"You are a powerful man." Red noted, having felt it the moment Rumplestiltskin had appeared. "I assume you know what I am."

Rumple watch her with her words he did not answer her first words, why bother after all there was no point in doing so "I do at that dearie, but you are only truly bound to it with the full moon, something that can be remedied to some degree" He made a movment at his words, as if to add more to his last words that it would help add power, he was dealer alright a trickster most the time, yet one could not say he did not give people a choose in the mater.

"I want to be rid of it." Red confessed, pulling her red cloak tighter around her. "This cloak is magicked to prevent the change from happening but that didn't save the four men in the hunting party sent after me and it didn't...it didn't save Peter. It's not enough."
She knew, no matter how careful she was about wearing the cloak, that there would always be the danger. It just took one slip up during Wolf's Time. One mistake that could result in the deaths of innocent people, the deaths of the people dearest to her heart. She would rather die herself than see Granny or Snow or any other innocent meet Peter's fate.
With this in mind, Red steeled herself and asked, "How can you help me?"

Rumple heard her first words he giggle at the though, the she would think something would be so simple as that, he looked at her "Would you like me to remove your soul why, I am at it?" He smirked, the idea did not bother him at all after all he was suppose to be a dark beast why not play up to it. His smirk grew on his lips as he listened to her, go on though in the end he knew that if the men had not been out they would not be dead, so to some degree it was the men's faults as well & as for Peter form what he knew, it was a mistake though one that she would never forget.
With her last words he moved, circling her with out fear for he had no reason to fear her, when he could best her any time, full moon or not. "I can see to it that you have more control, over the beast that lurks in your soul when the moon is full, you will still change if you do not wear the cloak of course, but you will hold more control to your actions & your mind to what is happening" As he spoke he had done movements with his hands as if to help, make point to his words, his back was to her as he finished, waiting for her words as he turned to face her.

Part of Red had known that there was no way to permanently separate her from her wolf side. She had been foolish to even ask. But Rumplestiltskin's offer was so tempting, his hand motions almost hypnotic. The ability to control the wolf and stop it before it could hurt anyone was much more than she had now. And maybe she could use it to do good. To make up for all the terrible deeds it had done...
"You...you can do that?" Her reply was cautious even though Rumplestiltskin had already confirmed it possible. Another dashed hope was not something she could tolerate.
A horrifying thought hit her like a sack of bricks. He had said that he could do almost anything...for a price. "I don't have any money to offer you."

Rumple watched her with her words a smirk move moved over his lips, as a spark came to his eyes as he was sure now the deal was all, but sealed something he was bound to as others where bound to air. "Did I not say I could make it so?" He was one that you had to watch for he would, play with words or in many ways was a shark he would stake the deck always in his favor & none had ever out bested him, though he only broke one deal so far & only went back one one of his, both had been for very different reasons that where not about to happen again. With her last words he spoke
"Did I ask for money?" Why was it everyone though he wanted money, he had no need of it any more, at least not when he made it, but she did have something he wanted if she was willing to give it something he could use for more then one gain, just it was not a gain he would tell her about or at least one of them, With a flick of his hand he hand a parchment & then a quill appear with in the other "Interested?" Why ask when he knew, why not he knew she wanted it, he could read it in more then her words, it was in her eyes & her soul, he knew he had her it was just he had to hear those words to know a deal was made.

Red had to stop herself from grabbing the quill and signing right then. She desperately wanted to believe this man. It meant everything. But what was his angle? If not money, what did he get out of this?
"If you are not asking for money, then what is your price?" The war raged inside of her, one side willing to do anything if only to help control the curse that loomed over her like a vulture ready to strike and the other side trying to grasp on to her last bits of common sense.

He watched her he knew the look, it was the look he got when it came to contracts, like a cat that say something it wanted to chase, but he said nothing until she spoke "Two things, though both are used for what I will make to keep my end of the deal, your blood form you now & when you are the wolf, though my payment will be for blood from you when you are the wolf" Of course he left out details, but then why bother with it, he could deal with her as a wolf something he would love to do if, but to tick her off as a wolf to prove he was the better beast.
