Rumpelstiltskin made his way down to the dungeons, to release Belle form her so called room, he put her there more because he did not want her to run away & second as if show her her place, he was the master & she the servant.
How ever he was surprised that she had agreed to come, one of the few that appeared to have any back bone to stand against him in some way, though he would see just how brave she was after, time had gone by & it sank in that she would be here forever.
He would treat her well enough, but that was it she would be nothing more then a servant like those he had at times before, though no so far in the Dark Castle, it would be interesting to see if she broke once she learn just how much work she would be doing.
Would she cry, later on when she came to turns she would be here for ever with a beast? There was much that went threw his mind, how ever those would wait for now he would tell Belle what was expected.
A flicked of his hand & her cell door opened, he entered as his eyes found her "I will show you the kitchen dearie, where you can make some tea before you, learn what will be expected of you here dearie" His voice was of a higher pitch then most, a sign of not really being human, he watched her waiting for her to rise to fallow him & the high pitched in tone giggle that fallowed only help to prove that he was the Dark One.

Belle looked up slowly went the door to her cell opened. She did not understand why he would put her hear. It was unnecessary. Belle had agreed to come with him. She had not tried to flee when they had left her castle. She did not deserve to be treated like a criminal. She sat on the floor leaning against the stone wall for a moment longer after he had come into view. A frightening man he was. His skin and eyes were so odd.
"I will show you the kitchen dearie, where you can make some tea before you, learn what will be expected of you here dearie" He told her and Belle flinched slightly at the laugh. She would soon get used to it but she was not at that point yet. She stood however and walked slowly towards him. Belle met his eyes for a quick moment before looking away.
"Of course." She told him in a gentle and accented voice. "Anything you wish." Even though her longing for her family and even Gaston, she was interested in this man. If he was going to be the only person she ever saw again, she would like to get to know him.

He saw her rise & as she approached he steeped out of her path, he caught her eyes for a moment before she looked away -Of course- He heard her words fallowed with -Anything you wish- He smiled, at her last words such an open ended topic, though he had not brought here other then to be a care taker so he would, leave it at that, turning on his heels he started for the kitchen, he did not look back to see if she fallowed just more, expected that she would.
Once they reach the kitchen he showed her around it "Once you are done with the tea, you will bring it to the dinning hall" The room, that all his items where, along with his spinning wheel, he knew he could of treated her better, it was just he did not really treat anyone good, after he became the Dark One, excepted for his son of course that he had lost.

Belle stepped off after him as he walked away. She did not speak and she kept a few feet behind him. She dusted off her dress as she moved. Sitting on the ground had left her dirty and dusty. She looked quickly into each room as they passed wanted to get at least a bit of a lay out of the house.
When they reached the kitchen, Belle paused. A large room but not as large as the one her father had. However her father had servants. Here, Belle was the servant. Belle followed him around the kitchen paying attention to everything he showed and told her. She knew that it would be very important for her to memorize where things were. She did not think he would appreciate having to tell her everything twice.
"Once you are done with the tea, you will bring it to the dinning hall" He told her. "Of course." Belle replied. Once she was left alone in the kitchen, Belle put the water on the heat for tea and then began to investigate the large room and familiarize herself. When the water was ready, Bell put cups and a tray as sugar and cream and the kettle. It took her some time to find the dinning hall again but she managed soon enough. Belle entered the room slowly and moved to put the tray on the table.

Returning the the dinning hall Rumpelstiltskin took a seat in the chair or more the only chair at the long wooded table, he waited for Belle it did not take her to long before he saw her. When he did see her he spoke only when he knew she would hear him "You will clean the Dark Castle.... dusk my collection... longer my clothes" For the moment he stopped as he made sure she heard him, he watched her closely since she barley meet his eyes. And he smiled as if thinking, to make sure she heard him, he made a gesture of his hand as he went on "Ow.. & you will skin... the children... I hunt for there.... pelts" By, saying that he knew that he would insure if she heard him or not. He looked to her, to see her reaction.

Belle heard his orders. He wasted little time telling her what he wanted from her. "You will clean the Dark Castle.... dusk my collection... longer my clothes" Belle kept her eyes on what she was doing. Every request was followed by a yes or alright from her. She was paying attention. Summer started to move around the table a bit to prepare his tea when he spoke again.
"Oh.. & you will skin... the children... I hunt for there.... pelts" Bella's head snapped up and a look of horror was on her face and a gasp left her. What did he just say?? Surely not what she thought she heard. Bella did not even notice that she had dropped the tea cup that had been in her hands. She said nothing. She couldn't her mind had clenched around his words.

He watched Belle, she did answer to his orders though it was not up until his last that made her look up, he saw her drop the cup she held, as she looked at him in mix of horror & shock. Well at least he knew she heard him he smiled before he spoke "The last.. was a quim..." His fingers came to rest against each other as, his smile only grew "Not serious" He giggled again, as if surprised she would take him seriously on such a topic, perhaps his name held more power then he knew. So after that he just watched her, waiting for her to say or do something.

"The last.. was a quip..." He told her but Belle did not understand. She made no further reaction. "Not serious" He added and then giggled. Belle blinked now... a joke... He was kidding? "Right..." She said softly and then gave a small smile. It was then that she noticed the cup had fallen. Belle looked briefly for the cup and then spotted it under that table.
She crouched down and spotted the split tea as well. She would have to clean that up. Selle picked up the cup and then she noticed the break. "Oh my..." She said slowly bringing the cup into his view. "I'm so sorry. But it's chipped." You glanced at him with a slightly frightened look. "You...you can hardly see it." She tilted the cup towards him so that he could see it. Bella didn't know how he would react. She had only been here for a few days and already she had broken something. Would he go back on his deal with her father?

Rumpelstiltskin watched her as she came to tums that he had only been, joking about skinning the children he might be a beast just not where children where concerned. He then saw her reach for the cup she drooped, he heard her words & that made him move a bit to see what the issue was, he saw the fear in her eyes. Did she think he would beat or hurt her over a cup? She must to explain the look, she went on to say the chip in the cup could hardly be seen, he looked at her oddly before he spoke "Its just a cup" He made a light gesture with his hands as if to indicated the cup & it was no big deal on the cup.

"Its just a cup" He told her and Belle nodded again. She stood slowly and placed the cup on the tray and then took a clean one and filled it with more tea. She carried this one carefully and set it before him. Belle backed away, took napkins from the tray and cleaned up the mess before returning to his side. He was in the only chair in the room. She had no choice but to stand he.re.
"Was there anything else?" Belle asked softly. She didn't know what he expected from her. Was she free to roam the castle or was she supposed to wait somewhere till he needed her like a servant. Belle was unsure and nervous. He did not really seem like a very mean man but it was still too early to tell. With nothing else to do, Belle sank down to the carpet at his feet and smoothed out her dress. She looked up at him every now and then but didn't say anything to him.

When she placed the cup in front of him he heard her question, he took a sip of the tea before he spoke "No, though I think it wise to give you a tour of the castle that, way tour can decide how you want to go about cleaning it, though I do not expect you to do it all in one day & I will allow you to have Sunday off to do as you wish, providing you do not leave the grounds of the castle,... do not make me regret the offer" He would give her some space & time off, how ever if she did something to show it was an unwise move he would take it back, just as quickly. "You are welcome to seat on the table, unless you like the floor" He might in time use his magic, to make a chair for her, but that would take her proving he should do it.

Belle looked into his eyes when he spoke to her. "No, though I think it wise to give you a tour of the castle that, way tour can decide how you want to go about cleaning it, though I do not expect you to do it all in one day & I will allow you to have Sunday off to do as you wish, providing you do not leave the grounds of the castle,... do not make me regret the offer"
Well, Belle thought to herself. He almost sounded nice there for a moment. Up until the do not make me regret it part. "Thank you." Was all she said however. After all, she could not tell him what she really was thinking now could she?
"You are welcome to sit on the table, unless you like the floor" Her Master told her and Belle glanced up at the table now. She would never have done that at home but then at home, there were many chairs. She stood now and then straightened her clothes before sliding up over the edge of the table. She was within arms reach of him and turned slightly towards the man. "Will I see no one else?" She asked him now in a quiet voice.

He heard her words of thanks, but made not comment on it. Seeing her rise, to seat on the table, he watched her with her last question he smiled "Sorry for you choose already or just hopping to have a moment to make a run for it dearie?" He was silent for a moment "At times people come here wanting to make a deal, though I cannot say they in such states make the best company" With time he would learn how far he could trust her, but right now he just expected her to run the moment she go a chance, since anyone else would have.

Belle shook her head. "I was not thinking of running away." She claimed. "It's just that if you are the only person I get to see for the rest of my life, I'd like to get to know you." Belle looke down now. She was a gentle and respoectful girl by nature. She was really no threat unless her pride or loved ones were in danger or injured. She looked back at him now. How could any person own someone else? She would try to be civil but was promising nothing.

He heard her words of not running off, he looked at her as if to question it a moment before he spoke "We will see, in time" Though he did not miss her words, on getting to know him "Know me dearie" He giggled at the though "You want to know the beast that so many hate & fear, you would likely make better friends in books then with me dearie" Other then his son, none until now said they wanted to know him or made the effort to so the idea just was odd.
