Dawn was a cousin of Belle's. Though they were alike by blood they definitely were different in personalities and looks. Dawn was very stubborn and rational unless it would help her people or her family you wouldn't be able to talk her into it.

I had heard that the dark one had taken Belle and returned to her uncle's side.

"My goodness Dawn, you grow more beautiful by the day. I have asked you here to make a rather unusual arrangement. I am sure you heard the dark one took Belle. I know deep inside of you there is magic your mother possessed it. The ability to move things without touching them as well as reading peoples minds." Her Uncle started.

"Uncle please tell me what you wish to ask of me?" I ask him growing impatient.

"It has been but a week since Belle left I was hoping you would allow me to replace her with you. If so she could marry and produce more heirs for the kingdom that would not be condemned to darkness." uncle says as he takes her hands in his as if begging.

"Uncle, I have never been able to fully control my powers, the dark one already has magic why would he want mine?" I asks him.

"We don't but we can at least try and make the deal. With your permission of course." He asked about to get down on his knees.

"Fine Uncle, you may try to trade me for Belle." I tells him pulling away from his grasp.

"Rumples-"" My uncle stars as purple smoke comes out of no where.

"You called? Another deal to make aye?" the weird man asked.

I had never seen the dark one. As I looked upon him a part of me was truly scared. I didn't know what I was about to get myself into that is if he accepted the trade. I watch as he looked around the room and smiled at my uncle.

"What do you want this time?" Rumple asks the king.

"I want my daughter back!" he yells at the odd man.

"Now why would I do that? You have nothing I want." the dark one says with a evil grin.

My uncle pulls me to his side and pushes me forward just a little bit. Now I am standing right before the dark one.

"My niece, she has magic, she has the ability to read peoples mind and even control them!" my uncle claims to the dark one.

I look back at my uncle surprised. My mother could control people I truly didn't know if I could. I had never tried, I never had a reason to! My uncle just stares at the dark one watching his every move.

"Then really it would be a deal between the girl and I nothing to do with you." Rumple says as he looks me up and down. "What do you say dearie willing to take the place of your dear cousin?"

Well I have no choice, if I don't do it then my family will disown me. Everyone liked Belle she was kind and a perfect daughter where as I was more of a rebel. I saw true sadness in my uncles eyes and couldn't help myself. I knew I would agree to the deal.

"Yes, I will take my cousins place. You have myself and my powers." I reluctantly tell him as my uncle releases my arm from his clutch.

"Forever?" Rumple asked offering me his hand.

I look at his hand confused. This is him giving me a chance to back out. Just like everyone is expecting me to. I wasn't going to let down anyone eve if that meant sacrificing myself.

"Forever." I said as I touched his hand and he pulled me into his grasp.

With a snap of his fingers Belle was standing beside her father and looking around confused.

"DAWN!" Belle yells as she tries to come to me.

"Ah, You see your little cousin here has a magic that will be very useful to me. She willingly traded herself for you. Isn't that sweet though you will never see her again." Rumple says as once again he snaps his fingers and we both disappear in the purple smoke.

When I next opened my eyes I saw a large castle before me.

"Come now dearie, its not nice to keep your master waiting." Rumple says with an evil giggle.

Ugh, of course I get the master with a really screwy sense of humor. I walk behind him as we enter the castle and to my surprise it is actually nice on the inside. Well nice and dusty as well.

"You are to clean my home, fix and serve me food and whatever else I can think of after all you are going to be here a very long time dearie." he says as he turns around and stops me in my tracks. "Did you hear me?"

"Impossible not to. You are standing right before and have not stopped talking since we got here." I say as he looks down at me with almost appears to be a smile.

"You are here to work for me. You have no title not besides housekeeper." he starts.

"I hate to tell you but I never had a title to begin with. I wasn't a princess like Belle." I tell him as he looks at me confused. "What?"

"The mouth of your is going to get you in trouble one day." he tells me as some form of warning.

"Forgive me, I forgot my place and who I was with." I tell him as I look down at the floor.

"There now that's better. Give me your left hand." he says to me.

I look up at him shocked. Oh now what is he going to do to me. Nice job Dawn your mouth has finally gotten you into something you can't get out of!

"Please don't hurt me, I said I was sorry and I meant it." I tell him as I try to back away from him.

Annoyed he grabs my hand and places a gold band on my ring finger.

"There, that wasn't so painful was it? Don't worry it is merely a tracking device so if you try to run away I can always find you. Though it does deceive others to thinking you are married. Quite smart if I do say so myself." he says with a giggle.

Really a wedding ring or whatever it is. Now I know I am truly doomed. I see him start walking and follow him close behind.

"Why were you willing to trade yourself for your cousin? To my eyes it seemed you were forced to make the deal." He says with out turning around.

"Why did you accept the deal?" I question him back.

He stops and gives me a death glare. Uh mouth you really don't know when to stop do you?

"Forgive me, Yes it was more or less forced but I would do anything for Belle or my uncle." I tell him as I look back to the floor.

"Your magic, I can sense it inside you. Have you never used it before?" he asks me.

"Only once or twice, never really had time to practice with it." I tell him as we walk into the kitchen.

Whoa is all that comes to my mind. I was use to a small kitchen and was happy there but now seeing this place I can only imagine what I can cook up in here.

"What? It's just a kitchen. You look like you have never seen one before." he says as he walks in front of me.

"Not one of this size. I am use to a very small kitchen barely able to make a meal within the enclosed space." I tell him as I start to walk around the kitchen.

"Well you will be spending a lot of time in here, so you can look over this later." he says dragging me out of the room by my arm.

This is also a requested story. I do like Once Upon a Time and try to keep up with it. Hope you like the story so far...
