    Belle is the librarian of Storybrooke’s boarded-up library. In the Disney version, Belle is an avid reader and bookworm. In OUAT, not only is Belle a bargaining chip for Regina to use against Mr. Gold, but Belle appears “crazy” for believing in town folklore. Regina locks her away, because Belle believes the fairy-tales are real. Perhaps Belle smuggled Henry’s story book out of the library and into the school before she was shut away in the hospital’s psychiatric ward.

    Some other members had commented (I can’t remember who and where) that Belle was probably abducted still in FTL. She never made it to her town and the whole story the EQ told Rumple was a lie. In reality she had already imprisioned Belle and nothing changed when the curse was enacted.

    But I do like your theory, too. 😀

    I also think that Belle has just always been imprisoned in Belle. I don’t think any of the characters have a history. I think that is all made up. The only history that exists is that which is around Henry. Like Gold got Henry for Regina and Archie has been Henry’s therapist and Mary has been his teacher and gave him the book. Otherwise all of there back history is fake. Like Mary never went to school and became a teacher she has just always been a teacher since she entered Storybrooke 28 years ago when the curse was enacted.
