Needing Help (Rumplestiltskin)

[Deleted]

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham walked into the pawn shop with the bell ringing as he entered. Akela was right behind him. Mr. Gold must be in the back as he didn't see him.

"Gold I need your help. I want to make another deal." said Graham.

He wanted to keep Akela safe and he knew this was the way. He just hoped Akela wouldn't resent him for this. He wanted to turn Akela into a werewolf if possible. If not then a human. With Akela as a wolf all the time it wasn't safe for him. Someone might try to hurt or kill him and he didn't want to lose Akela again.

Akela

Akela followed Graham into the pawn shop. He'd been following Graham everywhere lately. And some had given him hateful or scared looks. He really didn't like frightening people but now that he was reunited with Graham he wasn't going to abandon him to go live int he woods. Or stay in that apartment all day either. He wanted to protect Graham. He was his adopted brother after all. He paused as Graham called for Gold's help as Akela looked at him confused. Why did Graham want the help of the Dark One? Gold already had Graham's loyalty. He would not let Graham lose his heart again after all the trouble of helping him find it. Thankfully Regina had given him a different heart with her magic so Graham was still alive. He remained silent not wanting to cause a scene but wondering what Graham was up to.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold heard the bell above his shop door open as he looked up form what he was doing, being at the counter he saw Graham & he was in need something that made him smile of course he was not sure how Belle would take to the idea, but it was not like he was forcing Graham into this deal he was coming to him wanting to make a deal before he even said anything. His smile grew he could not turn this down of course he would see for sure what Graham wanted "Graham what can I do for you?" He was waiting to see what he would say what he would want to deal with for as the deal maker of deal makers he was eager to make a deal to help ease his old self.

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham paused walking up to him.

"I need your help. Akela's not safe in this town. Not really. People in this town are afraid of wolves. Whitney and Ruby are safe. The other werewolves have formed a pack in the woods somewhere last I heard. But I can't keep Akela in my house all the time. And if I let him go in the forest I may never see him again. Or they may hunt him. So I want you to turn make him like Whitney and Ruby. A wolf that has two forms. A wolf and a human. We grew up together. He's my brother. I'll give you whatever you want. You already have my loyalty. But if you want more I'll give you my heart. Or if you prefer something else I'll get it. Just help him. Please." said Graham.

Akela

Akela listened to them talk. He looked in shock as Graham spoke. He wanted to protect him. Give him a human form to keep him safe. He'd always been a wolf but this would keep him safe. And he could keep Graham, Bruce, Ren, Minos, Samuel, and the rest of their family and friends safe. He was scared it would hurt and of the change. But he knew Graham was right. He didn't want to be on the run or be separated from his brother. He'd been separated from him too long in the Enchanted Forest and later in Storybrooke. He didn't want to be separated from his brother for that long ever again. So he looked at Rumplestiltskin silently and nodded in agreement. If Graham thought this was a good idea he'd do it.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He listened to his words it was tempted to twisted his words to make Akela just like Ruby where he would be a werewolf, yet since he had an idea for the price he wanted he would not do it unless they could not agree on the deal to start. "Hearts are not really my thing, for I know people feel more when they have them" Of course it also meant he never ran out of people willing to make a deal "I can make Akela a human" Of course he was sure that it would be hard on Akela for it would be not only knew, but he would have to get use to everything everyone did.

"As for my price, I need you to watch after Belle when I cannot. I am not saying to stalk her, yet I know their are those that would harm her given the chance & also their is a man hanging around her he has not done anything foolish yet & for his sake let use hope he keeps form doing so, but I know that even with magic one can do things to one before I could be their to help out" Of course he meant let hell loose yet no reason to say it "I would like to not unset Belle by turning her new friend into something I would find more fitting, because he dose something foolish or anyone else for that matter doing something foolish, unless it is the only way"

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham nodded relieved he didn't have to lose his heart again. He smiled as Rumple said he could make Akela human. He just had to watch Belle.

"I can do that. I have less work to do as deputy as I didn't feel right taking my old job back from Emma. And most of the trouble lately is usually magical so it's not like i can arrest someone for performing magic." said Graham.

He chuckled at that. The rules about magic were vague in both lands. Most people tended to avoid confronting people like Regina and Rumplestiltskin in their old world because they were so powerful.

"Belle is a friend so I'd have looked out for her for nothing but I will agree to your terms. I didn't get to talk to her much while we were in the asylum but I saw her a few times. I'm glad she's safe and back where she belongs now." said Graham.

He paused looking at him with a grin.

"Just make him a werewolf like the others please. He deserves to walk around as a human and a wolf so people won't hurt him." said Graham.

Akela

Akela was silent listening to them. He was glad the price wasn't Graham's heart. After all the trouble of helping him get his old heart he hoped Graham wouldn't given his new heart away. Akela wondered whose heart Graham had at the moment but hadn't said anything. He was glad Graham was insisting on him having a wolf and human form and wasn't trying to make him be human forever. He couldn't speak as a wolf anyway except to other wolves. So he would just wait for them to finish. Being human would be new but Graham was trying to keep him alive and keep them together. So he couldn't really blame his friend. He just waited quietly wondering what would happen next.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold chuckled "You coud try to arested someone with magic, might even happen if they are out cold or are welling" He nodded with his words "And I do not hold that friendship aginest you & I know that Akela will help see she says safe" He looked over at Akela "Now as for Akela" He moved to a cubbored to get the ingredents he needed before setting to work to make the potion that was needed, once done he put even thing up as he returned with the vial that held the potion for Akela he held the corked vial bottle out to Graham "Give this to Akela when you are ready for the change, you might do it in the forest to allow Akela to agust without everyone watching"

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham smirked.

"I suppose I could. But not many would be willing. And if they're unconscious I suppose I could. But most likely Emma would be there and she'd do it." said Graham.

He nodded.

"I'm just grateful we both escaped that horrible place. When all we did was anger Regina. She still hasn't paid for what she did to us, and Sydney and who knows how many others. Knowing her she probably got rid of any evidence so it'd be my word and Belle's against hers." said Graham.

He nodded agreeing that Akela would help keep her safe. He paused as Rumple brought him the potion and he nodded.

"Wait. I do have some questions. Would the potion give him clothes or would I need to provide them? I would need to give him the right size. So if he was turned into a teen or an adult the clothes would be different." said Graham.

Akela

Akela listened curiously. Akela frowned at that. He wished he'd have been more help. He'd failed to get Graham his heart and it had nearly gotten him killed. And then thrown into that asylum for months. Protecting Rumplestiltskin's love Belle didn't sound so bad. He agreed to help Belle when Graham did. He paused at Graham's questions and he guessed that was a good thing. Being naked in the forest probably wouldn't bother him that much. Although he wouldn't have his fur and it was frowned upon in human culture. So getting the right clothes would work. Another thing he'd have to get used to.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Rumplestiltskin

"I suppose she would" He knew she would be, after all she always appeared & at times when she should back down he did not mind her spirited even if it got in his way at times. "Everyone upset Regina at some point" He knew it was true yet he had as well & in the end he could be more deadly than Regina if he had to, it was he just did not want to bring it up. At Graham's words his hand stilled as he listened to him, setting the bottle down he spoke "You would need to get him some clothing, as for his age being a wolf means he will age according to it, to being an adult. For size you might start with your size, the odds are your size clothes, until you get him some new ones"

Looking at them he spoke again "Akela also likely will need time to learn to get his balance walking on two legs" With that he waited to see what Graham would say or if any thing, yet knowing that Belle would have another set of eyes on her to keep her safe made some things in him ease. For he knew that issues where sure to come from his actions or others that would place Belle in danger, something he did not wish to risk he could not lose Belle again. "I will leave you your work" With that said Gold turned to leave unless some thing was said to make him say he had things to do himself just as they did

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham smirked.

"I suppose everyone has." said Graham.

Graham nodded.

"Alright. I guess we have to do some clothes shopping. Even if you do fit my clothes I don't have enough for us both." said Graham.

He nodded.

"Yeah there will be a lot he'll need to adjust to. Wearing clothes, walking, and a lot more. I suppose there's no way to give him cursed memories like the rest of us to help him adjust. So I guess he has to learn the natural way." said Graham.

Graham nodded.

"Alright. We better get started. Thank you Rumplestiltskin. Let me know when you want me to help with Belle. Perhaps I could give Akela some human lessons while I'm watching over Belle. So I could do two things at once? Unless you want to offer to help him? You're one of the few people I do trust in this town after all." said Graham.

Akela

Akela remained silent while the two talked. It would be an adjustment but wearing clothes wouldn't be so bad. As long as he got to stay with Graham. He'd been separated from him for so long thanks to the curse. If he had to be human he'd do it if it meant staying with his brother. He saw the conversation was starting to wind down so perhaps he'd find himself as human sooner than he expected.
