Basic Nessesities (Gold and Belle)

[Alice Kingsley / Venice Jacobs]

Alice did not know what had brought her this far. She knew who she was. Who she really was. It had come back to her suddenly a few days ago. Up until that point, Alice had been a no one. A street kid that everyone looked down on and pushed away. A kid other parents shielded from their own children from. It had hurt. As long as Alice could remember, it had always hurt.

Now she had a purpose. She had a destination. She did not know where exactly she would end up but something told her that when she got there she would know. So she had packed you the few things she owned and had stolen some food from a small market. Dressed is dirty blue jeans and a white tank top, Alice piled her long blond hair into a bun and had hitchhiked.

It was been a number of strangers and cars and three days before she reached Storybrook. The stranger that she had been ridding with continued on but Alice stayed behind. This was a small town but something felt right about it. Like she had finally found where she was supposed to be. She began to wander. All of her food was gone and she was starving. She did not want to go into any of the eateries here. They looked busy.

She an hour later found her in the back of a large house. At first the house its self had caught her attention and she had circled it to see the whole outside. There was not a car in the driveway so she had assumed that the house was empty. In the back yard however, against a fence Alice found jackpot. The was a good size garden here. Vegetables and berries. Alice couldn't help herself. She dropped to her knees beside the garden and began picking food and putting it in her back pack.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Mr. Gold had park the car in the garage, for now it would take no time to back it out if need be how ever as he moved for the kitchen to get some tea started he looked out one of the windows to see someone in the back yard, at first he thought he was seeing somthing. However setting the tea pot down & the cups out of the way as he moved closer to the door that lead to the out side only proved he was not seeing things, what was worse was the person was stealing form him & it was Belles garden somthing she had been working hard on. His anger flickered as he opened the door before exiting as he yell at who ever the person whas "What do you think you are doing?" Gold all but roared, it would of been enogh for any in Storybrooke to run like a rabbit form the wold, but he could not say he knew who it was right this moment someone else had come to Storybrooke it looked like. Magic or no magic he would of moved with the same hidden danger as he moved closer to the girl cane in hnad, as he waited for her answer not that anything would suit to cool his anger.

[Alice Kingsley / Venice Jacobs]

Alice had not heard anyone leave the house but the loud voice startled her so badly that she gave a little scream and lost her balance falling forward. One hand came out to catch herself and she ended up crushing a strawberry plant in the process. Alice looked back over her shoulder fearfully as she stood now and slipped her backpack over one shoulder and wiping the now messy hand on her jeans and staining the material red. Alice's eyes were wide as she watched the man approach.

Of course she had no idea who he was. Only that he was clearly angry and that was all she needed to know. She looked around quickly trying to see if there was an escape route. The man had a cane that could mean that he was going to be slow if he tried to come after her but it could also mean that the cane could be a weapon. She was frightened. Everything that had happened in the past few days had left her mind jumbled. "I...I'm sorry, sir." She stumbled taking a few steps back. "I'm so hungry. I don't have any money to buy food. I just...please..."

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold heard her words "So you just thought to steal" It was not like she could not of asked, but her stealing it did not help his mood he of course had been in the boat she had been in at one point, but he had at least never stollen he touch his son better than that for to steal could lead to only more danger. It was not like she could not of asked for the food, but to just steal like some thief in the night did not help his mood for he remember dealing with such people in his past.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle was just getting home from the school. She had told her husband that as it was a beautiful morning and had been expected to be that way all day, she would walk home. She had just turned up the driveway when she heard his angry shout. Belle froze for a moment and then began walking quickly. Her shoes clicked on the pavement as she moved. Belle sat her school things on the steps to the side door of the house. She hurried around the back of the house and instantly took in her husband and the teenager. Belle stepped up beside Robert and placed a gentle hand on his forearm. "Why are you so hungry?" She asked the girl. "Where are your parents?" She took in the girls appearance and Belle frowned. It was becoming too clear to her and the girl had not even responded yet. Belle hand tightened slightly on Gold's arm.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold was all ready to yell at the girl again when he felt Belles hand on his arm, he did not have to look down to know it was her he would know her touch if his eyes where closed he held his toug as Belle spoke to the girl he knew that him & Belle where like night in day most the time, in matters yet she still in all those times could get him to back down or see reason when others could not do so. Now it was the waiting game for the girl to answer & him not to lose his temper & start saying things before she got the chance to.

[Alice Kingsley / Venice Jacobs]

Alice was desperately trying to think of how to get herself out of this situation. He looked angry enough to strike her and this was certainly not a position she wanted to be in. Before Alice could try to answer his question, she saw the dark haired woman round the corner of the house and step up beside the man. It was like light and dark. The woman's face, eyes, and voice were so kind. The first question was easy to answer. "I have nowhere to go and no money. I can not afford food. I'm sorry I took yours..."

The second however was not so easy. How did she explain to these people that she had been in wonderland and suddenly thrust here in a unknown place. How she had followed her gut and ended up here. How she had no idea where her parents were. Except in England. Except her world was not the world she was currently in. Everything she knew had been turned around. Her mind was a a jumble. She could not answer the question and so she looked down instead. She took a few steps to the side hoping to maybe slip around them and leave. It never occurred to her to put the food back or at least take it out of her bag.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold heard the girls words for a moment he felt prty for her, but he was not known for his kindness & to break now well he did not see it going over well. He watched the girl, he did not miss as she moved he was more like a wolf baring its teeth as she moved "I did not say you could leave" His eyes narrowed on her as he waited to see if she would make a break for it or that, Belle was the better side of him however even so he was not over looking all the girl had done besides she came on to there property. After that he waited to see what she would say that is if she would speak he did not know if she would or not, but he would give her a chance to.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle listened to the girl and she felt pity wash over her. She could never stand for a child to suffer. There should be no need for any child to hurt or go hungry. She was about to speak when the girl moved and Gold growled at her. Belle looked at her husband now. She had not heard him speak to anyone in quite such a manner in some time. Belle stepped just a little closer to him now. "She's just a child." Belle all but whispered in his ear. "Please don't turn her away hungry."

She knew Robert would not approve but Belle could not just stand by and let the girl go hungry. She placed a soft and lingering kiss on Gold's jaw. It was sure to be a familiar sign of affection and right now, also an apology. Then she spoke. "Please, come into the house." She said to the girl." The few vegetables and fruit from my garden is not enough to fill you. I can make you something more substantial. Belle knew this would anger her husband but really, what could she do?

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold might of thought like, Belle about a child however it did not mean he had to take in every stray that showed up he could feel Belle's eyes on him after he yelled at the girl he was sure he would hear about it later however right now his mind was focused on the feeling of her moving closer & her breath aginst his ear, anoher place it would of been a turn on not that she still did not have the same effect he just had other things to think of first.

How knew who had who wrapped around whos finger, she could get him to do really anything he felt Belle's kiss to his jaw he did not miss the words that she spoke next to the girl Gold eyes turned to Belle "Belle"

He could not think he was hearing what he did, at this rate Belle would adopted the girl even if he did not want it, for she would make him see reason some how for she had her ways. He knew Belle well enogh that he knew that he could not change her mind on this matter & she would put him in his place on this matter in wordly signed as if knowing he was if knowing he was beat in this matter.

"I will not turn her away form your helping hand" Belle did well to rub off on him her good side, but Gold was still not one to just feed any that showed up unlike Belle that would feed anyone in need, perhaps he would learn better form her & perhaps this was a good start, but he just was having a hard time not thinking the girl would steal form them the moment she got, it was bad to think in such a way he knew to think of the worst in people, but after many years of living his life on seeing the worst it was not easy for him to see as Belle did the good.

[Alice Kingsley / Venice Jacobs]

Alice was stunned when The woman invited her into the house for food. She stood there for a few minutes clearly unsure of whether to trust her or not. The man was not happy with the offer either it seemed. Alice was going to decline until Belle stepped forward now and then and offered a hand.

The blond had been through a lot and she did not have much trust for adults at this time. She had been through a lot of situations where adults yelled at her, threatened her, and or tried to kill her. She missed her parents and sister deeply and really did not understand much of this world. However, despite all of this, Belle gave off a sensation of peace.

Slowly, Alice went to Belle. She was led past the man and glanced up at him nervously as she passed him. When Belle entered the house, they went in through the back door. Alice stopped at the back door. She stood off to the side of the door frame near the wall. The house was so clean... she was not. Alice did not want to make anything dirty.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

When her husband had said her name, Belle met his eyes. There was determination in Belle's face but also a urgency for him to understand. This girl was homeless. She had no one. "I will not turn her away form your helping hand" He told her now and Belle gave a soft smile. She turned her attention back to the girl now.

Belle stepped towards her and motioned for the girl to move closer. When Alice moved towards her, Belle's smile widened and she placed her hand on Alice's back and guided her into the house. Belle was halfway to the kitchen when she realized the girl was not with him.

She turned now with a quizzical look on her face. "Come on." Belle coxed. "Its okay." She did not know why the girl was frightened now. It was almost dinner time. She would make dinner for three instead of two thats all.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He saw his wifes smile he said nothing as she moved to get the girl inside he watched the two, yet saw the girl stop be the door he appoched her when he was close enogh he spoke "It is alright you need not fear going inside, you will not harm anything by doing so" He hopped his words would be of comfort, but he had not had practice in some years to he was sure in a way that until they found her family they would be taking care of her somthing he was not fully aginst yet he still was sure that Belle would addopted the girl as much as she would addopted a ophaned cat off the street, a side he had to smile about for she had a true heart that cared for others no matter the size.

[Alice Kingsley / Venice Jacobs]

Alice did not know what to do. She had never expected kindness like this. It surprised her. She heard Belle's coxing words and then the man was there as well. Alice looked up at him when he spoke and then after a few more hesitant moments, she stepped forward further into the house. When she reached the kitchen, Belle motioned for her to sit. Alice glance around the room and then moved to a chair and sat slowly. Alice shifted not knowing what to do.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold watched Alice for now he would stay outside to give Belle more time with her, he was sure he would not help matters at the moment & it allowed him time to think over what had just happened, yet he was not overly upset at the idea he just was not sure where this put him he had not expected to come into a family like this, he did have a soft spot for kids but people feared him greatly something that could ether be good or bad, for many would be sure to stay away form her & others might think to try something to harm her if but, to get to him. After a bit, he moved to join them, not joining them but, close enough if he was needed.
