"Belle, I called the charity and you are writing to a person named Mr. Gold. The organizer gave me the address of where to send it when you are done. Get started." Her mother informed her."
"That's it? That's all I have to work with? How do I even start?" Belle asked.
"Just begin with something general like a greeting and go from there. I'm sure you'll think of something. Now I'm going to leave you to it and go start supper," replied Belle's mother.
"Here goes nothing" Belle said to herself and put her pen to use.
"Gold, I have your first letter. It's from a girl named Belle. Go easy on her, will you? I don't want this to turn creepy or anything." The guard said as he threw the letter to Gold through the bars.
Gold picked up the letter and opened it.
Dear Mr. Gold,
I'm not really sure what to say so I'm going to start off simple. Hi, How are you? My name is Belle. I'm not very active. I usually just sit in my house and read or watch a movie. My mother says I have an over active imagination and I fill my head with too many fantasies. So, she said I needed a hobby and we found this. I hope I am not boring you too much. This is all new to me.
I hope you have a good day,
Love,
Belle
'Such a sweet girl. Pity see has to write somebody like me,' Gold thought as he folded the letter and stuck it back in the envelope.
3 days later.
"Belle! Look what I have. A letter came for you today."
"Oh is it from Mr. Gold?" Belle said hopefully.
"Well who else, silly girl? Do you have any other friends that I don't know about?," her mother asked skeptically.
"No," came Belle's timid reply as she took the letter from her mother.
Belle opened the letter and eagerly started reading.
Dear Belle,
Hello, I hope all is well with you. I enjoyed receiving your letter. You are anything but a bore, my dear. I should apologize to you for having to correspond with a fool such as myself. I tend to inflate my language so as to seem superior to others. It is a flaw that earns me a lot of mockery. You seem like a lovely girl. Do not let anyone tell you that imagination is not important. Without it, we would all go insane because life can be very mundane. I do not want to turn this into a novel so I shall bid you adieu.
Sincerely,
Mr. Gold.
"Wow! He seems like quite the fellow. I think this will work out just fine." Belle thought to herself. Excitement building.
Author's Note: hope you like it. If you guys have any ideas on where I should take this or what you want to see them write in their letters then leave a review letting me know.
