Let Me In

Prompt: Vamp!Belle is hungry and feeds on an unsuspecting soul. (Rated M)

The gnawing pains were back. Every time it became necessary for Belle to feed, an excruciating pain would rip through her tiny body. There was no hiding from the hunger or the control when it was upon her. She had to feed soon or else things would get messy and quick.

Unfortunately, her caretaker (and very human) had failed on several occasions to bring her the fresh blood she required for her survival. As dear as Moe was to her, Belle was impatient and couldn't wait for him to return. She decided to take matters into her own hands.

She went to the park and despite the frigid temps… she knew there would be at least one person out and about.

She was right.

A woman with fiery red hair was pacing angrily with her cell held up in the air looking for a signal. Her teeth were clattering but she clearly spoke every bad word in the book with her British accent. Belle recognized her as one of the tenants in the complex—Zelena was her name. An awful, horrid woman who complained about everything and everyone. Rum told her about her and even Belle overheard some of the nasty things she had to say to her best friend. Her voice grated on Belle's nerves and it was downright fucking fate that she had a flat tire.

Oh Karma.

Belle began to limp towards her, her face shining with wetness as she drew in gasping breaths and heaves like she was crying. Her pitiful sobs reached Zelena and the woman stopped what she was doing and watched as Belle collapsed in front of her.

"What the-?" Zelena started.

"Please help me!" Belle wailed. "I was playing in the snow when this man attacked me! It hurts all over! Make it stop! Make it stop!"

"Oh my Lord…" she said, looking around nervously for the man to appear. Yet, she was alone with this weeping little girl as she rocked back and forth, her shirt torn and pants soaking wet and feet bared to the frozen elements.

"Please help!" Belle whimpered. "Won't you help me?"

Her pleas managed to get to Zelena. The sight of a broken child clearly traumatized by the rape melted her icy heart. "Don't worry. I'll call for help and we'll call your parents and get you to the hospital. That man won't hurt you ever again."

"Thank you!" Belle sobbed in relief as she hugged the older woman at the knees. "This means a lot to me!"

"All right, all right," Zelena said, patting her head awkwardly. "I can't get a signal here so let's go this…"

She was cut off once Belle slapped the phone from her hand and jumped on her chest. Hooking her legs around the woman's torso, Belle dug her nails into her shoulders as she ripped into her throat. Blood splashed all over as Zelena attempted to fight futility with the vampire child to no avail.

With each pull and bite, Belle guzzled her life's essence until Zelena's legs gave out and she fell into the snowy bank with Belle wrapped around her. She never once let go until Belle drained her dry.

With a vicious roar, Belle tossed her head back and seized the dead woman's head and snapped the neck.

There… no chances of another vampire stalking Storybrooke. Belle stood up and took a few steps back to where Rum was hiding, the pocket knife dangling in his gloved fingers.

"It worked," he whispered in amazement.

Grinning at him, it didn't bother them that Belle's mouth was still covered in blood and that her clothes were drenched with it too. "All right. Here's the hard part. We have to hide the body. Do you think you can do this Rum?"

"Yeah. I have my knife to cut her fingers to avoid identification."

"Good. But there are other ways to learn the identity." Belle grabbed the loose head and with an effortless pull, she separated it from the body. "I'll take care of this," she told Rum as he sat on his knees and picked up the hand.
