Belle held the egg as she hurried, walking and sometimes jogging, towards the well that was in the forest. Nobody seemed to mind her as she headed for the forest which was a relief since she didn't have the time to stop and answer questions. She followed the directions Rumpelstiltskin's letter described, until she reached the stone wishing well. She looked at the placard which read that the waters of the well returned what was once lost. She swallowed thickly as she stared at the well. She hoped that she wasn't too late. She went up the steps to the well and she mumbled,

"Alright, here goes nothing!"

Curiosity took over for a moment, and she opened the egg to see a potion inside. The potion was a magenta colored liquid that seemed to shine with a strange light. She took out the poition and poured the magenta contents into the well and the echo of splashes could be heard. She nodded and she turned to start heading back to the town knowing that there was nothing more to be done, eager to be reunited with Rumpelstiltskin once again, when something truly unexpected happened.

She stopped in her tracks when that familiar, heavy, and dark feeling crept into her heart. She turned and she saw large clouds of purple smoke billowing out from the well. She knew the smoke and feeling very well, exposed to nothing but that forboding feeling during her prolonged stay at The Dark Castle as well as her very short stay at Regina's. 

It was magic! But this world didn't have magic! She watched the smoke with wide eyes, unable to turn away as a thought came to her mind. Rumpelstiltskin had lied to her! He would be able to save himself with his magic, yes. But...what of the woman in the hospital? Was her life [i]really[/i] going to be saved or was he playing with her emotions again? She fell to her knees at the thought of Rumpelstiltskin betraying her trust once again, and at the guilt in taking away what Henry needed to save his true love.

Before she knew it, the clouds of purple smoke enveloped around her and the well, clouding her vision and watched with helplessness as the clouds continued engulfing the entire town of Storybrooke and even though she had done exactly what Rumpelstiltksin had asked of her, she still felt like she had made the wrong [i]terrible[/i] decision.
