Beauty and the Beast Chapter One

The clanging of the old bell above the shop door gave her a start as she tried to slip in quietly. Weak autumn sunlight filtered through the old glass of the windows, entranced for a moment,Belle watched the dust motes float through the light in their aimless dance. It was almost enough of a distraction from her shaking hands. She did not see the proprietor anywhere and so she felt more at ease to look around.

She wandered from case to case, pausing now and again to study the coloured glass on display. Belle failed to hear the shop owner re-enter the room.

Rose Petals - Dearest Papa

Belle's hands were cold and clammy in spite of the summer heat; she and Rumpelstiltksin stood on the creaky front porch of her father's house, both hesitating to ring the doorbell.

"We're in this together." was all he said, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze.

Their engagement had made her heart soar until she remembered that she would have to tell her father. Between watching his youngest daughter leave with Rumpelstiltskin in order to save their people and then being beaten by the sorcerer (for what, he hadn't been entirely sure),
