Maurice missed his daughter greatly. They had always been very close. Since she had agreed to go with the dark one, he had only seen her twice and the second time he was so ill, he could not enjoy her company. He should never have let her go off with the Dark One. Even if it had meant loosing the war. He blamed himself. Belle's birthday was on the horizon. Even though she was not here, Maurice wanted to celebrate it. As strange as it seemed, he could not let it go by without recondition. So plans were put in motion. Invitations were sent out explaining the situation but describing the party as a grand event. Maurice did send a invitation to Belle of course. He did not have high hopes that the monster she had been claimed by would allow her to attend but this was would have been for nothing if Belle was not even aware that it was happening...
*** *** ***
Belle received the invitation two days before her birthday. She had been the one to receive the post that day. Seeing her fathers writing had brought tears to her eyes. She missed him so much but after what had happened last time, Rumpelstiltskin had vowed she would never see Maurice again. It broke her heart. Even still, she held vague hope that he may allow this one last time. If only for her birthday. Her hands trembling slightly, she took the invitation and letter she had received, the letter not being as kind to her captor as the invitation, and sought out Rumpelstiltskin. She found him at his spinning wheel. Belle stepped up beside him and held out the invitation keeping the letter in the other hand. "The post has come." She told him softly. After a moment she nearly whispered. "I'd like to attend..." |

Rumpel's hand stilled the wheel as he heard her say the mail had come, of course he last words his eye's snapped up to look at her, as he took the moment to take the mail the first was the invitation, his eyes turned to slits as he read it her father would try such a thing after what happened. He felt a grow in his trout as he looked at her "Out of the question, you think I would drop my guard to you again allowing you the chance to pull something once more?" His voice held coldness in it, making it clear the subjected was not going to be spoken of again.
He could not fall to what had happened before, he did not give his reasons for why he was so upset more than he was, it was more than meet the eye he need his power for what was to come & to keep Regina in cheek for with out him he knew she would run a much for sure. And with what he saw that was to come, he could not become enslaved once more he already had been & it was not to his liking even if Belle was his master for the time, it reminded him to much of when he was a the town coward & cripple later on, he did not like to remember the man he was before the one that could not go off to war to becomes he wished to be their for his son & then he became the dark one to save him form having to go off to war to die. He moved to go back to spinning thinking the matter was over, yet he should of known with Belle it would never be so simple to win or to tell her what to do when it came to her deciding her path as one might call it.
Stopping once more he looked at Belle "I gave you my trust once Belle, I will not do so again" He rose to turning to face her "What ever you have planned is not going to happen, I want you to think of this matter as done & over with as well closed" He watched her, as if daring her to call his words to try to get around him on what he said, perhaps she would drop the matter.

"Please," Belle almost begged. He had stood now and Belle fought the urge to cower at the r anger in him. She knew why he was so angry. She had taken advantage of him greatly last time. Belle held out the invitation again. "It's my birthday party..." He had not even ready the invitation. The other hand with the letter she put behind her back. "I'm sorry for what I did. It was foolish." Belle knew that there was a large chance that she could be angering him even more now. After that had happened, she was very much afraid of his anger. "I'll return afterwards." She promised.
This was very important to her. Not only because it was her birthday but because she missed her father and her friends. She missed the grand life she had once had. She missed being free to do as she wished. She want that again even if only for a little while. Was that too much to ask for? Other than that incident... well a few incidents, she had done as he asked of her. Belle really hoped he would change his mind. "I have the right to go." She told him now. Her voice grew demanding unintentionally.

He heard her words as much as he wished to say yes he could not break to her "Birthday party or not you are not going" He steeped forward as if trying to force her to back down to him "Right?" He giggled "You gave up such rights when you agreed to come way with me" She was one of the few that would try to challenge him even in his bad moods yet, in another time it was welcoming right now it was more like two that where more alike them another that would not back down to the other, for they where both head strong. He looked at her "I have told you how it will be & I expected you to obey it" He watched her sure that she would say somthing with that, he waited for her to say or do somthing for he had a feeling this was not over yer.

Belle looked down at the floor as he refused again and than laughed at her. "I have told you how it will be & I expected you to obey it" He added and Belle met his eyes for only a moment. "Of course." She told him with tears forming in her eyes. She threw the invitation on the floor now. "...not that you..." She paused flustered. "even looked at it." She gave a shaky sigh and then turned from him. He could get his own lunch today. It was almost time for it but she had no intention of making it. Belle headed for her room, took up a book and then went out through the kitchen and out the door. She went outside and into the woods surrounding the castle where she dropped to the ground and began to read to make her self forget. "I'm going." She whispered to herself.

He heard her words he felt sorry in away for telling her know, he did not miss that she threw the invitation to the ground before she left, he did not stop her it looked like they needed space. Once she was gone, he picked up the invitation to look it over, he felt a ping of guilt run over him yet he could not break now, after he told he no he could not show that she had such a control over him. He moved to set the invitation on the table before he headed back, to his spinning wheel needing to think to allow his mind to wonder. It was later on that he felt the call of a deal, he headed out to find Belle once he did he spoke "Belle, I need to go take care of a deal... I will be back later on & we can..." He had been close to saying they could talk then he threw away the idea "I expected you to be here when I get back" With that he was gone, to take care of the deal leaving Belle to do as she wished expected her to not leave.

Belle looked up some time later to see him coming towards her. She looked away quickly not even wanting to meet his eyes. He infuriated her. How dare he think that he could keep her from her own party? Deal or not... She merely nodded when he told her he was going out. Belle went back to her reading.
However, when enough time had passed for him to be gone, Belle closed her book and then stood and ran back into the castle. She did not have any idea how long she would have before he returned. Belle changed her clothes and then took one of the horse from the stables and was gone.

He had not missed she looked away form him, of course he did not really care at least not enough to take back his words & after he left he expected her to listen to him. Of course once he got back, their was not a sound of course that was not really uncommon but, with no sign of food on the table something that was one of Belle's chores to do for him why here with deal they made he was upset & as he called out for Belle with no answer, he was quick to set off going to look for her yet he was quick to find she was not in the castle.
He growled as he moved to head out of the castle having a good idea where she was going, of course the horse tracks where only prof & with a spell that would lead him right to where she went he was off in a cloud of smoke. He was quickly at the castle, right now he moved to the shadows to see where exactly Belle was he knew that if any saw him it could sent a panic threw them making it hard to find Belle of course once he spotted her he knew he could just pull the hood of his cloak low before approaching her to deal with her.
