[The boat ride had been a bit jarring, to say the least. While she was unbothered by the boat and being at see, it was the fact that she was traveling to parts unknown that made her worry. Rumplestiltskin had entrusted her with protecting Storybrooke while he and the others traveled by boat themselves and it was a poor way to keep to that job if she was being sent off and away.
Upon reaching the shore and being given a map, Belle begins to explore while also being mindful of others who might also be lost. She wanted to help, after all. This wasn't Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest but she was far from helpless.]
Chapter Six Bookstore
[Anyone wandering about would be surprised to see someone unfamiliar already making themselves right at home in the book store. Already she had a good sized pile sprawled out on a table, thumbing through each one as she tried to immerse herself in this new world. She wanted to learn its secrets and... maybe see what they had for a romance or adventure novel or two. Having yet to see a familiar face and giving up looking for the moment, Belle's last refuge was this distraction.
She had come to the conclusion on her own that she was the only one here and the others had safely arrived in Neverland. At least that was what she tried to tell herself.]
