Darkly, Yours

Chapter 1

It was very late but Belle was craving ice cream. She didn't live very far from a food store so naturally, she went to get some.

"Hello Belle."

"Hello Mr. Bent."

She skip to the fridge and take the smallest tub they have. It's just her and a large tub would give her a tummy ache because, she would eat everything in one sitting.

She walk out of the store with a spoon in hand and sit on a bench. The sky was clear of any clouds and the stars are extra bright.

A man sit beside her and Belle ignore him for the first few seconds. Of course her curious gets the best of her so she look at him.

A gasp leave her lips when she saw blood dripping down his hand.

"Are you ok?" She set her ice cream on the bench and dig into her bag. She's a clutz so she always have bandaids and such in her bag.

She take the strangers hand and start cleaning the blood. Belle can never sense danger and so she didn't know what she just got herself into.

Belle dig into her bag and came up with a beast bandaid. Beast from Beauty and the Beast.

"There. All good."

Belle look up at him for the first time. Her baby blues met some very dark ones. Belle feel heat creep into her cheeks.

"What's your name little one?"a velvety asked.

"B-Belle. Well it's Story-Belle but I just go by Belle. I should shut up now."

"Come closer."

Belle got closer to him. She felt small under his piercing gaze but she's just small over all. This man has got to be over 6 feet tall.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Boss."

Belle look away from the man and to the newcomers. They look less scary compare to the man before her.

"Is it taken care of?"

"Yes Boss."

The man look back at Belle.

"Until we meet again Story-Belle."

"We might not."

The man got to his feet and pull her up.

"Go home. Its not safe."

"It's never safe. Bye."

Belle took up her ice cream and start making her way home. She don't own a car and the bus don't run at this time. She's always cautious not to walk through the alley way at night though it's the fastest way home.

She was told to never go through the alley way at night. The alley can be very dangerous. Especially at night.

Belle got to her apartment safely and get ready for bed. She has work tomorrow and she can't be late.
