Chapter 1:It's More Than A Feeling

"Hey Belle I brought you another caset" Jefferson said as unlocked my sell. It was durning the curse and Regina's punishment for me, is that in this relm I have to live in a cell all the time. Jefferson is the only one who see's me. We've always been friends, so he brought me caset tapes so that I'm not always sad. He has also brought me books. We hide all these things in a floorboard that's under my bed. "Thank you Jefferson. I'll put it in the caset player." I walked over to the floorboard and grabbed the caset. "I hope you like it, it's one of my favorite songs." He said as he closed the door behind himself. I put the cadet in and put on the headphones. "Turned on some music to start my dayI lost myself in a familiar songI closed my eyes and I slipped away" This was actually quite nice I slowly made down and started to hum along to the music. It was a happy upbeat song."So many people have come and goneTheir faces fade as the years go byYet I still recall as I wander onAs clear as the sun in the summer sky"

"Thum thum thum thum, it's more than a feeling." I sang to myself as Jefferson smiled to himself as he watched me. I had a smile on my face as I listened to the caset again."Well my dear Belle, you seem to enjoy that caset. Could you play one of your others though, I wouldn't mind to hear you sing a song you know." "I giggled for a moment and said" Alright, but this is because you gave me anouther upbeat song." Then I played another song that I liked."A singer in a smokey room the smell of wine and cheap perfume for a smile they can share the night it goes on and on and on" I had memorized this song for a long time. I usually sang it to Olivia, although I was still pregnant with her. I wondered sometimes if Olivia would fall asleep to me singing these songs. "Some will win some will lose some were born to sing the bluesoh the movie never ends it goes on and on and on" Jefferson smiled then said "Best line ever!" I smiled but continued to sing along to the song.

"Belle why don't you sing a not so hard rock song?" Jefferson suggested as the song came to an end. "Okay." I told him with a smile as I looked at the casets I had. "Hmmm...ahhh perfect!" I said and snatched the caset up and sat on the bed next to Jefferson."Hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again." I liked the slow movement of the song. Most songs that I listened to were metaphorical or were odd or funny stories. This one though has a story of its own, the men who wrote it gave a concert and sang this song because the times in America at the time were quite tough. "Still remains within the sounds of silence in restless dreams I wake alone" I also sounded quite pretty when I sang this song. It makes me think of the curse.

"Jefferson before you go could we listen to one more song?" I asked as he got up when I finished singing. "Alright Belle, but one last song." "Alright,I'll play one last song." I liked this song in particular because it's like me trying to show Rumple that everything with be alright. Its also my favorite Beatles song. "Little darling its been a long cold and lonley winter little darling it feels like years since its been here." Jefferson joined in this time, instead of listening to me. His favorite band is the Beatles. I wonder what band Rumple likes? "Little darling I feel that ice is slowly melting little darling it seems like years since its been clear" By the end of the song, we were smiling and singing along with the happy song.

Then the song ended. "Thank you Jefferson for the caset." I told him as he left. "Your welcome Belle." He said as he closed the door and locked it behind himself. I walked over to my bed again and listened to More Than A Feeling.

A.N. Hi I hope you liked that this story was mainly about Belle and Jefferson. For those of you who don't know the songs Belle was singing they were More Than A Felling, Don't Stop Believing, The Sounds of Silence, and Here Comes The Sun. BTW this story is set during the curse. I have always wanted to do a song centric story and a Belle centric story. Please review and tell me if you liked the choice and tell me a song you might like to see her sing. Next chapter: After the curse Gold takes Belle out to The Rabit Whole on a careoke night.
