Books Are Better Than People

  She automatically hugged the girl back. “Then I’ll see you tomorrow. Come in around noon, alright?” She released the girl, giving her a pat on the shoulders. “Oh, and the book.” She gestured to the art book. “Here, take it home and bring it back when you like, alright?”

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

"As you wish." The girl was completely ecstatic, all of that was actually taking place on a day of her life. Things couldn't really get much better than that. When the book was mentioned she was about to apologize, until the librarian continued speaking. "Really?!" She was surprised by her words, she also got to keep a book she liked for as much as she wanted. "Thank you! See you tomorrow!" Once again she hugged the woman, then walking away with a smile on her face.

  "As soon as possible." She smiled "How about tomorrow? I can start showing you everything around the library. The back is an absolute mess so you may regret working here." She chuckled. "We can discuss pay then too. Does that sound good to you?" She was excited to get some help around the library as well.

Tomorrow would be fine since she had nothing to do. Truth be told, she had nothing to do for most of her days. Now that would finally change and she would also be able to leave her mother's place, which meant getting rid of Flynn's awkward relationship with her mother. The way the whispered all around made the girl feel sick, she wanted as much distance as she could get from that. "Sounds fabulous! Can't wait!" Now she was hugging the librarian once again.

  The force of the hug threw her off a bit but she returned it readily. The change in the girl’s demeanor was amazing.

"Of course, I’d be happy to have you working here. There’s only one requirement." Belle smiled mischievously. "I’m going to need your name so I can make you a name tag." Belle was happy she could help her out and wondered what Rumpel would think of her new hire. Or rather, what the girl would think of him. Hopefully she wasn’t scared of him like most of the town. If so, well, then she’d be able to see a new side of him at least.

"Call me Clair. Clair Root, actually." She was so happy about this moment, the smile never even left her face. Not only because such thing meant she would be able to life off without her money but also because she got a job with something she loved. Books, books and more books. Back in the old times her mother would never give her enough books, now she had as many as she wanted. What a dream! "Can't wait to start!" When would she start, the young woman forgot to ask. "When would I start, if I may ask?"

  Belle’s mouth deepened with a frown. “Your life is your own,” she told her, “No one decides what you do with it but yourself. If you need a job to support yourself, I could always use help in the library. The hours are flexible so you could paint when you’re not here.” The idea had suddenly popped into Belle’s head and she had said it without hesitation. It was true she was always wishing for some help in the library, and if she needed a job then this seemed like it would turn out perfectly.

She offered the art book to her. “What do you say?”

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

Words came out of the librarian's mouth, but she could only hear something about a job. Without even thinking first she hugged the woman with all the strenght she could, trying not to cause her any harm. "A job here?! I would love to!" Letting go of the woman she started jumping and clapping her hands. Working was good enough but working on the library was the dream coming true, she really couldn't believe that was actually happening. With that her mother wouldn't be able to intrude in her life. Flynn would have to get off her back and let her live, she would be able to finally start the life she had always wanted. "A thank you wouldn't even come close to express what I am feeling!" Joy filled her words and her heart in that moment. A passage to freedom, finally.

You know my dear, if you are looking for a place to live, I do own most of the places in town. We could see if you have anything to bargain with.

Oh… Mr. Gold! Or should I call Rumpelstiltskin?

Would love to accept your offer but I really have nothing to repay you.

[manwhomadewrongchoices-deactiva]

  Oh Dearie. Other’s aren’t me. You are the embodyment light and life. Just as little miss Snow White, and her Prince embody true love. A small piece is enough to harvest pieces of the magic.

If it makes you feel better, I am trying to break the border around the town. I need a magic boost. 

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

Oh... Sorry to offend you.

That's-- not the first time I heard someone saying it. So I'll give you some strands of my hair but you shall give me your word that you won't use it to harm innocent people.

  A few strands of your hair, to supplement my own magic. Nothing evil or wrong. You’ll get the home completely rent free. I was merely suggestion if you felt….guilty about giving me some hair….you would have an excuse that you were paying a bit of rent. 

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

No, if I have to sell out my principels I will sell them out for a completly rent free place. Do you realize once a strand of my hair is ripped from my head it looses all the magic it might possess?

Others have tried before.

  "So why worry about law?" Belle picked up the art book and walked back over to the girl, holding the book in front of her so that she could easily take it. "You should follow your heart." As much as she’d like to say that the girl should pursue what she wanted to, Belle also knew that that wasn’t always the easiest thing to do.

"Is there something holding you back?" A note of concern filled her voice and she looked at the girl curiously.

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

Interesting question the librarian had made. "Because I need money to get my own place and my art wouldn't get me any money." Apparently the young girl had no filter, she just said everything which had been on her head lately. Follow her own heart got her in so much trouble in the past, she looked down before replying to the woman. "Really not sure if that's a good idea." When she asked if there was something holding her back, there was something in her throat keeping her from saying it. Even though she had been thinking it for a big time, she really felt really bad saying it out loud. "My mother... She doesn't want me to leave her house. She never did. She barely allows me to go out."

[manwhomadewrongchoices-deactiva]

  Of course it is Dearie. Do you want to try living in it for a few months? I’ll reduce the rent to $400 a month…then you can either supplement with your hair…or an additional $450 a month.

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

Not saying I was about to give you a bit of my magic hair but wouldn't it be worth of a completly rent free place?

Because, well, as you see, I have no job and no money so anything you ask I can't pay.

[manwhomadewrongchoices-deactiva]

  But Dearie, I’d let you live rent free in a nice home. Wouldn’t that be doing what is best for your child? Look at what I’m offering you…

Isn’t that worth a few strands of your hair? 

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

I will not--

That's bigger than my tower!

[manwhomadewrongchoices-deactiva]

Oh Dearie, simple monetary transactions will work. Or….if you wish a small amount can be taken off your monthly rent for a sample or two of your hair. 

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

Why would I even be surprised you're interested in my hair? 

Sorry, my mother told me that I should never let the wrong people use my hair for their own goals.

[aliceofthehat]

I think I've finally found somewhere we can afford to live.

[aliceofthehat]

  It is. Seeing that we came here with absolutely nothing, it’s amazing that I was able to afford something like an apartment in the time since we’ve arrived. I’m very grateful for that.

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

Sometimes I wish I could afford anything in this small town... First I need a job. Do you have one, right?

What do you mean you guys first arrived? Didn't you arrive here by Regina's curse?

Not Hiring

  All of the statements she was making increased the anger inside of him, if this girl staid much longer in his office she wouldn’t be able to leave it alive. She managed to get under his skin, soon he’d get his hook under hers. With a angry face he looked into the girl’s eyes, trying to make she see how much evil was inside of him. How in danger she actually was for speaking to him like that. “You’re right. A past follows a man forever, until the end of his life.” He walked to the door, blocking her way out. Then he raised his hook to his fce and offered the girl a evil grin. “Let’s remember you’re speaking to a pirate who was rsponsible for may people’s deaths…” If those words weren’t able to deliver a message he wasn’t sure about what could. So he opened the door and offered her way out.

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

One thing she was not expecting was the guy to actually threaten her life in his own office at that time of the day. Which is why her only response was to stare at him life if he was one of Snow White's dwarves... Well, like if she was a real person from this land looking at an animated version of the prince's dwarves. "As you wish, capn'." She spoke with her face really next to him on her way out of the room. "Who's next to spak with the psycho pirate who tried to murder children?" Her words were heard around the room. She didn't have time to look at the principal's reaction because Flynn dragged her oout of the place. She still needed to find a job... Damn.

  Such words made Hook snap out of his share and raise his hook right in the girl’s face. Even if he didn’t really want to do it she was almost forcing him to finish her right there and right now. His mind kept telling him to rip that sarcastic smile off her face his the apendage on his hand. When she mentioned the fact that Hook spent a great deal of his life trying to finish the Lost Boys, he felt enfuriated. “How dare you speak of the past of a man you don’t even know, girl?!” He shouted, angry at her. If he ever tried to harm those kids was only because they befriended the wrong boy, the little demon people in Neverland called Pan. “Then get out of my face and find your puny boss!”

"Past is something that will always follow you, Captain." Her words may feel harsh, but she just lost the last fuck there was to give to this so called job interview. "I you trust young people don't have anything to teach, they know nothing it's because of inferior minds like yours. After all..." With a smile on her face she began to bit her lips carefully, trying to hold some anger. "You are the ones supposed to teach the youngsters." How did this guy function, he wasn't much older than her. "And I'm pretty sure half of the kids in here would beat you in a SAT test." Backing away from his desk she turned around and made her way to the door. "Nice to talk with ya, mate." Mockery was fully present in her tone as she spoke to the Director/Captain of the invisible and inexistent ship.

  we should contact Hollywood immediately. We may even get our own reality show.

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

Can't wait to sign autographs and shit like this.

[sword-oftruth]

  we might as well get our own sit-com. We could call it “The Big Brown Theory.”

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

That would be a great thing to watch if you ask me.

  There, that was true passion. Belle smiled and carefully set the law book out of sight. Obviously it wasn’t needed here.

"There’s no need to be sorry. And you do. I can tell cause you looked so passionate just now." In Belle’s opinion, your true colors really shined through when you talked about your passion. This girl looked like she was ready to paint the entire town when she had asked.

"What do you paint?"

[clairwithmagiclonghair-blog]

Watching that book go away made her feel better about every single thing in life, as if she wasn't the one who picked it up. Truth be told, she didn't like the idea of facing the reality. A job was a job, she just didn't felt like giving up on the dream she has been living ever since she was 12. To hear about the fact that passion was writen all over her face made the girl feel amazing. It meant that none of her love for art was in her head, it actually existed. When the librarian asked what usually she painted, Clair wondered in her own thoughts for a while. "Nature, magic. Everything my hearts sets its eye on." Truth had been said. Every single detail that caught her attention was something she tried to pain on her free time. Which was all the time. "I am just very passionate about painting. Even before the curse."
