Belle had fought more men than this. She managed to take down all the Bloodroot Clan members inside that club alone without a single scratch.
But this is different. She is fighting with Arthur Brown, her ex-boyfriend. Who surprisingly still has an effect on her. He is fighting her in close proximity, the touch of his skin and breath could turn her knees mushy.
Belle was distracted and as time went by, she cannot focus on fighting and is now focused on avoiding contact with him. And Arthur noticed it.
Arthur and Stefan communicated through eye contact and in a single move, Stefan managed to pin Belle on the ground with both her hands on her back that were being restrained by Stefan's firm grip.
Belle struggles but Stefan not only has his hands on both her wrist but is also straddling her back to keep her from standing. She heard footsteps coming and she knew that it was Arthur.
