Looking out the window of my cell, I can see him talking to the dark haired woman, Mary-Margret. My eyes wonder over him. Rumpelstiltskin, or Mr. Gold, as his name is here. He is much handsomer now. The grey skin is gone and his teeth aren't yellow, though those things never bothered me before. I wonder if he remembers me…
They tell me I'm in here because I'm suicidal. They say I've tried to kill myself seven times, but I know why I'm really in here. I'm in here because I remember. I'm in here because she wants Rumpelstiltskin to think I'm dead. Why me? What did I ever do to deserve this? All I ever wanted was to live happily ever after with the man I love. Then again, isn't that what we all want. Even Regina.
She blames Snow White for the mistakes of a ten year old. I found out the story. That's the other reason I'm in here. I know too much, I know her weakness. I close my eyes and remember how it was. And that is my crime. I fell in love with the wrong man, maybe if I had stayed with Sir Gaston things would have been different, but just the thought of that made me quake with rage. Regina cannot keep me here forever, no one decided my fate, but me!
I hear the peephole on the door open. I glance away from the window. I see a pair of black eyes. Regina.
"Feeling any better, Rose?" She asks with a smirk. I don't reply. Why should I? Rose Thornton is not my name. My name is Belle. I can't wait for the day I get out of here. I'll get out, I know I will get out because of her. The new girl in town. Emma. Snow White's daughter. Regina hates her. Rightfully so because Emma will be Regina's downfall.
I would like to thank my beta, Clown Accomplice, for all the help with this story! I hope you liked it now, REVIEW!
