Chapter 1
This portal opened same as they all do: with a loud whoosh and an unnecessarily powerful shake of the room. Belle screamed as the large dark hole spun into existence in front of her and she took a step back, terrified. Rumpelstiltskin, on the other hand was delighted. He gave one of those little giggles and clapped his hands.
"This is it, Belle!" He yelled over the roaring of the portal " my chance! Finally I can find Baelfire, I will find my Bae." Belle smiled at this, thrilled that her Rumble could finally, truly be happy. Still, she was nervous. Jumping through portals wasn't a simple task but she tried to put on a brave face for Rumple. So, summoning up all the courage from the heroes of her books, Belle stepped forward and took his hand. He gave her a slight smile before turning back to the portal and they jumped.
Belle woke up screaming. She had had the strangest dream about magic, a portal and a funny man with a shiny face. She couldn't recall any exact details but it had seemed so real. Enthralled in trying to remember, Belle didn't even notice her roommate, Mary Margret, standing over her until she had said her name at least four times.
"Belle, Belle! Are you alright? Are you hurt? What's wrong?" Mary Margaret sounded panicked, which wasn't unusual. She was the type of person who was only happy when others where happy. Forever the optimist, she couldn't quite understand when others didn't look at life in the same way.
"Wh-what?" Belle groggled, still half asleep.
"You were screaming," Mary Margret pointed out as if it hadn't been blatantly obvious.
"I know M," Belle muttered. "That's why we're both awake at-" she glanced at the clock "2 am."
"Yes, but are you okay?" Mary Margret still sounded ridiculously worried.
"I'm fine, just a weird dream," Belle sighed. "Now get back to sleep, we have class with Professor Hopper tomorrow morning." Mary Margaret sighed but reluctantly got up and walked back to her side of their small dorm room and went to bed.
The next morning came to early. By the time Belle forced herself out of bed she only had about 20 minutes before class and Mary Margret was already gone. She quickly pulled on a black skirt, purple blouse and some funky lace up boots all while trying not to trip over her many piles of books as she did so. After running a brush through her hair she grabbed her coat, a granola bar-there was no time for breakfast- and was out the door. Outside, Belle shuddered at the frosty October air. She still couldn't believe that she had picked to live in Maine. Although the University of Storybrooke had a fantastic English programs she sometimes still wondered if the cold was worth it.
As she hurried across campus someone caught her eye. An unusual someone with dark, shaggy hair, deep brown eyes and a slight limp. It took her a moment to recognize him as Ron Gold, or simply "Gold" as he was more commonly known. It was strange that he had stood out to her, it wasn't as if they were friends or anything. The only reason that she even knew him was because he was her boyfriend Killian's roommate. Killian and Gold had never gotten along though so she had never had any reason to get to know him. So why had she noticed him now? Belle shook he head, blaming it on lack of sleep and kept walking but even through class she just couldn't get Gold, or her dream, off her mind.
