Belle was walking through the halls of her work as usual when a red alert echoed in the building, screaming there was an intruder. Immediately, she ran to call ACME via the phone in corridor 2b, the sound of her wine red block heels flowing through the air. She then felt herself being captured in what seemed to be strings and looked up, softly gasping. "V-Violetta!? Let me go, please!" She said, her deep sapphire blue eyes meeting Violetta's. "No can do, our princess. Now, let's head home. Your palace awaits." The soul weaver said, dragging the woman away. Fortunately, the locket necklace Gray gave her was hidden underneath her deep black long sleeve button-up blouse and was contrasted with the soft white skirt.

They arrived at the manor as Violetta let Belle go. She had a look of fright and was scared. "What do you want from me?" She asked in a shaky voice as she heard a laugh. She turned around, seeing a hurricane of butterflies surrounding her. "Michiko.." she mumbled under her breath as the butterflies subsided, revealing the geisha who was the woman's first patient. "I see you returned with our beautiful princess, Violetta. Excellent work." She said, scanning the woman's face that did not have a single imperfection and reminded her of a cherry blossom in spring.

"Why do you all call me your princess?" Asked Belle as Jack the Ripper pointed to an old painting with his rose cane. The painting was framed with rose-gold that much Belle knew, but who it was in the painting made her gasp. The painting was of her mother after she and Lily were born! Enchantress looked a lot like Lily but had the most beautiful deep blue orbs, flecked with sapphire and swirled with ocean sea green and she wore a lavender dress with pearls.

She was holding two babies, both girls. The baby on the left had the same skin color as Lily, a mop of deep red hair, and emerald green eyes. She was swaddled in a white silk blanket and she was smiling. The baby on the right  had the exact same skin color as Belle, messy dark hair, and same blue eyes. She was swaddled in a purple and lavender silk blanket and seemed to be nuzzled into her mother. Underneath the painting was a carving written in silver. Here's what it said:

'Queen Florence Rosalie October and her two daughters: Princess Liliana Juliette October and Princess Bellatrix Florence October 6/9/2016'

Belle was in shock and felt like she was going to faint. Michiko immediately placed the woman into a chair as she clutched the armrests. She.. wasn't told about her past from her mother and it was no surprise Lily didn't know either. "Princess? Are you ok- OH MY GOD." Mary then realized it. "Don't tell us your mother didn't tell you about all this!" That earned her a nod from the princess as it confirmed everyone's thoughts. So she wasn't told about everything.. Mary then grabbed Belle via her wrist and dragged her off. Belle was confused until they reached what seemed to be a large wardrobe.

"Mary, these are gorgeous! Are all these for me and Lily?"

"Of course, Princess Bellatrix. Your mother had these custom-made just for you and Princess Liliana."

Belle was looking at a few dresses until one caught her attention. "Now this, this is the one I want to wear. May I?" Mary gave her the go-ahead as she got the dress down from the mannequin and went behind the room divider. After she put on the dress, she looked at herself in the mirror, smiling at how it looked on her.

She then pocketed the necklace Gray gave her and exited the divider, looking at Mary as her face was lit up in awe of how perfect she looked in the silver and deep purple dress. She even put on black lace elbow-length gloves with small diamonds sewn into them. Mary led her away to a box that seemed to be made out of porcelain, painted with gold and bejeweled with precious stones that glittered with red rubies, green emeralds, white diamonds and shining pearls. It had a rose quartz clasp as Mary opened it, revealing different types of necklaces, earrings and rings.

Mary rummaged through the contents, finding a necklace. It was made with pure silver and into a princess style with garnets, amethysts, sapphires, and diamonds. She also found matching earrings that were in a drop style and put them on Belle. Belle then braided her hair with silver as Mary reached over and picked up a deep blue and purple tinted glass box with a carving that said 'for Belle'. The bloody queen opened the box to reveal a beautiful tiara that she lifted up to get a good look at it.

The crown was black with deep purple stones as she carefully placed the crown on her head. While Mary was getting her crown on, Belle proceeded to do a deep black eyeshadow on her lids, deep blood red lipstick and eyeliner. After Mary finished getting Belle ready, she escorted her back to the others. They were pleased with the result as Michiko placed her in her new throne.

It was a deep yet dark black with accents of amethyst purple as she crossed her legs, revealing black pumps with black onyx on the toe of the heel. She was now a Princess of the manor and they needed to find Lily to complete the missing throne that was right beside Belle's. Belle was shocked yet somewhat surprised that her mother was a queen and she and Lily were princesses from the day they were born. She didn't understand why Enchantress didn't tell her and her sister the truth.. she had a feeling she would get her questions soon answered. She gingerly fingered the locket Gray had given her on Christmas and decided to try to figure out an escape plan.

Later that night, Belle's crown and dress were put away along with her jewelry and her face was free of makeup. She had taken out the locket prior to removing her dress. She had told them that the locket was a gift from her love and they respected her choice on who she wanted to be with. With a gentle sigh, she opened the locket as the same song started to play.

Belle:  "Cruel and cold, like winds on the sea... Will you ever return to me? Hear my voice, sing with the tide... My love will never die. Over waves and deep in the blue... I will give up my heart for you~ Ten long years, I'll wait to go by.. my love will never die."

She then heard Gray's voice in her mind. She reminded herself that when an October reunites with their soulmate from a past life, they set up a telepathic connection to allow them to talk to their lovers whenever they liked. Apparently, Gray was once a feared pirate and she was his sea goddess from their past life together. She smiled when she heard him.

Gray:  "Come, my love be one with the sea! Rule with me for eternity. Drown all dreams so mercilessly and leave their souls to me! Play the song you sang long ago, and wherever the storm may blow, You will find the key to my heart, we'll never be apart! Wild and strong, you can't be contained! Never bound nor ever chained! Wounds they caused will never mend and you will never end~!"

Gray and Belle could feel the separation flowing through their veins as they sang that song together like they used to do. Memories started spilling over like ink on a paper. The day she and Crackle met, the things they would talk about, the day gray got in trouble via black Sheep's pranks, how gray fell slowly but surely in love with the young Belle, the day she found out the truth about VILE, the times Gray was forced to hurt her, the day she realized he was brainwashed by them, the night they reunited and finally, the night gray confessed his love for the woman he had loved since they were kids.

Gray and Belle:  "Cruel and cold, like winds on the sea... Will you ever return to me? Hear my voice, sing with the tide... Our love will never die~."

Belle smiled once more and closed the locket. "Gray? That you, my beloved?" She asked as his voice appeared from the locket. "Yes, my temptress. I'm here, what happened?" She took a deep breath and explained what happened through her tears. "Crikey! That's horrible! Hang on, I'll try to find you as soon as I can, try to stay where you are! I can't risk losing you, my goddess.. not now, not ever!" She blushed as she stroked the locket. "Ok, my love.. I'll try. Good night."

"Good night, love. Sleep well and I'll look for you. I'd travel the entire seas if I have to!" She placed her locket on the bedside table and curled up in her bed, closing her eyes, allowing a few sobs to escape her as she covered her mouth. she didn't ask to be taken and she also knew gray didn't blame her. She then fell into a fitful slumber, dreaming about being reunited with him, her love, her captain and her resurrected angel.
