the cold rain fell hard at dark castle, leaving a puddle as it dripped through the small cut window of Belle's dungeon room. the cold stone walls offered no warmth as she huddled on the dirty straw that sacrificed as a bed.

His property,why had she said yes? heroism, sacrifice...his nails had cut her soft white skin as he drug her through the corridors and she had scraped her knees as he slung her at the dungeon room,locking the door behind him. she could hear his joy at her expense as he giggled striding off in the distance.

She was His property. He could do with her what he wanted. He had said he wanted only a caretaker but as he spoke those words to her father,his eyes roamed over her body. He wanted her. Freedom was not all she would be sacrificing.

she awoke to the sound of the large door unlocking;Rumplestiltskin crossed the threshold and stared down at her as she sat up rubbing the sleep from her eyes."Pleasant dreams dearie?" he extended his hand to her as she accepted it as she gingerly got up from her bed. she was stiff from the cold stone floor and her knees were tender from her entrance yesterday, she tried to straighten out her ruined dirty gown. "thank you" she managed."We don't have all day,lots of work to do dearie" he said as he lead her up the stairs to the main hall. Lots of work was right, and the castle was huge, how was she to ever find her way in such a huge maze of rooms and stairs.

As Rumple lead her to the main hallway he explained her new duties." You will clean the dark castle, and fix my meals,you will launder my clothing, you will be at my beck and call day and night, oh and just to let you know, in case you were thinking of going home to your Papa, he sneered, this castle has an encantment, if you try to leave the grounds you will wish for death" His eyes grew much to Belle's amazement even larger as he loomed at her. Belle met his gaze."I gave you my word to save my village and my people,I will not try to leave."

Rumplestiltskin stepped near to her as he held out his hand,a map suddenly appeared in a puff of blue smoke, he handed it to her,it was a map of the castle,very detailed in fact. she was sure she could find the kitchen and everything she would need to clean such a large place. On the the map was a portion of the castle circled and labeled forbidden. "What is here?"Belle asked inquiring about the west wing of the castle." this part of my castle is NONE OF YOUR CONCERN, IT IS OFF LIMITS! DO NOT LET ME CATCH YOU SNOOPING AROUND THERE, the rest of my castle you may have access too,this is my labratory and library and living quarters so STAY OUT" he spat as he tapped at the place on the map.
