Biting her lip softly she moved to the table, reading their agreement as she walked. She was no fool and she trusted Rumpelstiltskin no more than he had her. Picking the quill up from the table, Belle took a deep breath, her last truly free breath, before signing on the papers dotted line and promising her life in service to a monster. [i]Belle Beauchene[/i] As soon as the last E was signed, the paper and quill was done from her hand. For a moment she simply looked down at her hand, almost in disbelief of what she had just done, before turning back to Rumpelstiltskin crossing her arms, as Esmerelda fell to the floor. Belle raised an eyebrow at the fact Rumpelstiltskin didn’t have a deal with Gaston, he had threatened to make her obedient to the hairy moron. So she never stopped to think of the fact that he might not have made a deal with him as well. It seemed like he had wasted quite a bit of his time, getting a lock of her hair from Gaston, and wasting time to threaten Esmerelda just to get a hold of her. There surely wasn’t any turmoil in her eyes, not over Gaston anyway. [b]“Now, we both know that’s not true monsieur.”[/b] She said pursing her lips as he stood up, her wish wasn’t his command, because if her wish was his command, he’d had left her the hell alone. If Rumpel was as smart as he said he was, than he knew she didn’t want to have Gaston anywhere near her. Belle looked past Rumpel to Esmerelda though she didn’t have a chance to reply before he said such harsh words to the poor gypsy, even if she hadn’t been Belle’s friend still she would have felt badly for the poor woman. It only took a snap of his fingers for Belle to be pulled to him, and that was a sickening feeling, to be at someone else’s command. She closed her eyes, almost afraid of where they were going and getting dizzy by being brought there, however it actually didn’t cause her dizziness, and she opened her eyes to be standing in the grand hallway, somewhere she had been before. Narrowing her eyes she watched start to him walk down the hallway, the sad little man could have at least showed her where she was going to sleep. [b][i]“Get out of my sight. I am sure Gaston is here somewhere, go find him or something.”[/i][/b] She said loudly to herself mocking him and making a face at his back, before turning to go into another room and look around. The only time she had been here, it was dark and she was stealing so she didn’t have time to really look around how that she had a chance, she had no clue still where she was going. After lighting a candle, it was quite clear that the dark one was almost as much of a pack rat as she. He had more things than she did, the light of the candle hit something that glow and she picked it up to the little figurine of a goat and she glared at it. [b]“Son of a…”[/b] She yelled out angrily before throwing the goat against the wall, making it shatter along the floor.

A man in strange clothing, chains and shackles upon his hands and feet as well as a weapon on his back following the first two guards, followed by the other three guards. She couldn’t help but look boredly at the group, yet another man who refused to give up his favored weapon. Travelers seemed to have such trouble with this law; however it made things safer in her kingdom. [i]“Your Majesty, this man killed one of your guards without even hitting him. I think it could have been done by magic.”[/i] Jasmine sat up slightly finally paying full attention, brown eyes looking over the man in front her as the guard tried to push him down on his knees. He looked muscular of course but so were her guards, in her mind he was rather boring besides the possibility of his having magic. The fact that he refusing to get on his knees, was a completely sign of pure disrespect, she pursed her lips glaring at him as Raj growled softly head on her lap. When he broke the chains on his wrists Jasmine flinched back a little ways, wide eyed staring at him, before the surprise was wiped from her face, a blank mask replacing the look. The chains that her guards used were of the strongest iron, there was no normal way for him to break them! Not even could her guards break those chins! She had made them try to move sure that were fit to use! He broke the chains as if they were twigs! She had heard of this Hercules of course, he was known far and wide for being a hero. Though Jasmine didn't believe in heroes, they were never what they claimed to be, they were all false lies. In honesty though she had thought he would be less, normal looking, other than his odd clothing he looked albeit slightly attractive man. [b]"I would say that you did slightly more than harm my guard, Hercules."[/b] She answered coldly her eyes narrowing as he walked closer to her throne. When he got too close Raj let out a deep growl, moving from beside Jasmine to sit in front the Sultana, ready to try and protect her from the man who was far to close for his liking. This was the reason that the guards would stop the people to bow so far away from the throne. Raj had been known to attack anyone you came too close to his princess. Jasmine hold out a hand to stop the man from coming any closer. [b]"You will not come any closer, lest you wish to be bitten."[/b] Jasmine told him harshly as Raj's eyes glared at the Hercules. When he said that he truly did not mean to kill her guard Jasmine slightly looked down at Raj and started to pet him, as if she did not care. She simply lost so many to magic users and jinn that she no longer mourned their lost. [b]"So you killed my guard for taking your weapon to protect the people? It has happened before, it shall happen again."[/b] She said flicking her wrist heartlessly as if it didn't matter much to her. [b]"However I do not allow jinn freely in my kingdom. Since I doubt I can encase you in glass as I do the genies. It only makes sense that you should make up for the life you took somehow."[/b] She said thoughtfully. Her guards moved closer but she shook her head. [b]"No, not by death. That would be a shame, stealing the false hero others seem to foolishly believe in."[/b] She added loudly, making her guards back to where Hercules's chains were.
