Summary: What if before she cast the second curse, Petra had a discussion with Belle ?

Pairing : No pairing/friendship Belle/Petra

Spoil : Beauty

To tell nothing to Rumplestiltskin hadn't been easy; but the surprise and the joy that he would feel by finding Petra' great-grand-mother really worth it. Petra stayed immobile some moments, looking at the setting around her. It was a magnificent room, in which the diner organized by the prime Minister would soon happen. Petra almost had a nostalgic smile knowing that time would soon stop in this realm.

She jumped by hearing a door being opened and she turned, seeing the young queen walking in her direction with a smile; Petra made a nervous smile she tried without success to make seem natural. The queen understood it :

"You know, you don't have to be uncomfortable with me because I am the queen; please, stay natural."

She had no idea of how she was right, because Petra had difficulties of staying calm facing this young woman who already had committed crimes without knowing it. She never saw the Beast act, but what the prince told her was enough to make her see the monster that was in her.

Bell had a smile and she looked trough the window:

"It's a beautiful evening, don't you think ?"

Petra nodded; the queen frowned:

"Excuse me, but I don't remember your name.

- I'm Petra, your majesty, I am... a friend of the prince, she said with a little hesitation.

The queen's face lighted up and she nodded:

"I am happy Petra, do you know why?" She asked by turning in her direction. Because today, I will marry the man I love, and that together, we will live an eternal happiness; I hope you'll find such a happiness? Don't you share mine ?

- Of course yes, majesty," answered Petra with a forced smile that the queen didn't see, as she was concerned by her own joy.

Petra didn't know what to think of it, felt ill at ease because of the enchanted distaff that Rumplestiltskin gave her and thinking about the spell that she would soon inflict to the beautiful and young and innocent queen (but was she really ? Petra wanted to believe it, even though it would mean kill an innocent). The queen offered her a last smile, made a gracious bow to which Petra tried to make the same, with awkwardness, and she left.

Petra had to bite her lip hard enough to draw blood so she would not cry because of such a waste. Oh yes, she really complained her, this poor cursed little girl.
