Chapter 02

"You will have to serve me during the night, taking care of my personal needs before bed. For a whole month"

Those had been her master's words after finding her asleep in the main hall. Belle did not even have time to explain herself. Rumplestiltskin did a triumphant half turn towards the exit.

Belle stood perplexed looking at the ground, trying to assimilate his words... his gaze. In the time she has lived with him (it has been months) she had never felt insecure of her integrity. Although she had to confess, when she first arrived that had been her worst fear. But she had never seen her master taking that kind of interest in her. Until today.

She was so lost on her thoughts that she didn't notice Rumplestiltskin stopping in the entrance; without going out to the hall, waiting for her.

"Well!?" Belle was startled, she didn't know what to expect. "The water for my bath wont heat up by itself like the blanket! And the water better not boil, I prefer it warm.

"So it means that starting today? But I thought..."

"Do you see the sun shining?!" Rumplestiltskin suddenly raised his voice, startling her "It is night. Unless you want to add a month to your sentence" he lowered his voice menacingly. "I would star moving immediately."

Belle raised hurriedly towards her master, but remembered the book and blanket. Her master did not allow disorder in any of the rooms. Fearful of a scolding, she turned back and took the blanket and the book. It only took a couple of seconds but, when she turned towards the door he wasn't there anymore.

Concerned, she quickly went back to her room to leave the objects and to later go down where the boiler was to warm the water. She threw the book on her bed and contemplated the cover. It was a silly romantic novel, the ones she liked best. Belle sighed. A couple of hours before, that book had represented her biggest fantasy dream of finding romance and true love. Now, it represented her worst fear. If only she hadn't let her self go! It seemed that destiny showed her that true love was not for her. Not even in books.

With her spirits down, she went to the basement. Remembering that she had no lamp with her, she took the candle from her room and went down. She shivered when she entered the boiler room, she had always hated the cold and humid dungeons. She filled the boiler with water, lighted some wood and waited for the water to warm. While she waited she wondered what others activities she would have to take care of. Until now she had only taken care of basic things, cleaning, dusting and cooking. She wasn't permitted to attend visits, running messages or anything that let her get in touch with the outside world. Her life was restricted to the castle. And not even like this had her master let her into his chambers. What was she supposed to do before going to bed? Make his bed? Prepare his night suit? Undress him?! Belle went white with the simple idea... or with what the idea might mean, her biggest fear.
