Belle

"I can't believe it!" Lydia said, "You were cursed?"

"Mother," Adam said as he threw a pillow at Lydia's mouth, "are you trying to wake up the whole castle?!" She grabbed the pillow and tried to calm down.

"You...have...some explaining to do." Lydia said, taking deep breaths. "My only child...my baby...is a victim of a spell?" Adam made a face when his mother said 'my baby'. Lydia looked at her son, she saw the look he made. "Don't give me that look. I don't care if you are two years old or 20 years old, you're still my baby."

"21, mother." Adam said, "I'm twenty-one."

"Hmm, you're right, I was...

"Ouch!"

"I know it hurts, Belle, but just hang on a few more minutes!"

Veronica, Lydia and Adam were able to remove Belle from the kitchen door. When they did, Belle was in a lot of pain because of movement of the quills. The good news was that two of the quills were left in the door, but the bad news...four quills remained in Belle's left hip. Veronica carried Belle out to the parlor, where Adam met Maurice when they first met. Lydia and Adam followed them into the parlor. Veronica wouldn't let them near Belle until she was feeling better. Veronica had managed to only remove one of the quills...

Despite that her dress was torn in places, Belle got up from the tangled blankets and started her way to the source of the smell. Adam quickly followed her, but she was going very quickly.

"How can you be sure that what you're smelling is real?" Adam asked.

"Trust me, Adam, I know exactly what it is." Belle said, "I may not have had it for so long, but I know it's what I smell."

"What is it?" Adam urged. Suddenly, Belle stopped and turned around.

"Mother's Rainbow Cake." She whispered, " I haven't had it since mother passed, nobody could beat her cooking or baking."

"Wait," Adam said, he sniffed...

The pain started to cease and his body started warming up; Adam slowly opened his eyes. The pain felt like it lasted for hours when it really lasted for ten minutes. He felt his energy returning as he got up, but as he was standing up, he noticed that his claws were gone. Adam looked behind him; his tail was gone as well. He grabbed the magic mirror; he saw that he was human again. He knew that even though he was a human, that beast was still inside him.

"It's still strange seeing you without fur." Adam heard Belle's voice. He turned around, Belle was sitting up on the bed. She was also smiling....

Speaking of Adam, he couldn't believe what has happened as he paced in his cell. Adam, wearing his white linen shirt and white pants, and Maurice were locked in a cell in the abandoned asylum. Fiona was playing cards with her daughter as they wait for Belle to bring the mouthpiece.

"Mother, how can you be sure that this plan would work?" Celia asked with uncertainty.

"Trust me, Celia;" Fiona said as she put down a jack of clubs, "Belle does everything to get her father out of a cage. She'll bring it."

"I can't believe you're doing this!" Maurice shouted as he grabbed the bars.

"Aren't you proud...

Belle almost collapsed, Adam just sat down on his bed. They couldn't believe it, their mothers were guardians to one of the most powerful objects in life.

"Veronica Arc-en-ceil...?" Belle said, breathing slowly.

"And...Lydia Porc-épic?" Adam asked.

"Yes," the enchantress said as she wiped her eyes, "they were my closest friends, even if they were wild and...somewhat out of control."

"Meaning what?" Adam asked.

"Well, let me start with Veronica." The enchantress explained, "She was a sorceress who knew how and enjoyed her powers of color and light, but when she was a child, her parents weren't the...

When Adam woke up, he looked in the magic mirror; he was still in his beastly form. He did say that he didn't want his human form unless Belle was back to him. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Adam said in his beastly voice. The door opened, Cogsworth came in with breakfast.

"I brought you some breakfast, sire," Cogsworth said.

"Just leave it on the table." Adam said as he stared out the window, Cogsworth dropped off the plates and left the room. Adam got out of bed and looked under his bed, he pulled out a box with a blue ribbon. It was the same box that held his mother's...

Lydia Porc-épic was a strong woman, like Belle's mother, Veronica Arc-en-ciel, but she always made sure that her son came first. Adam's father, King Henry Colère, wasn't anywhere near like his wife. He was a very abusive and very controlling man, just like his father, grandfather and ancestors before them, but everything changed in that family when Henry met Lydia.

Lydia was a milkmaid, with flowing harsh-red hair, ocean/sky blue eyes and wore yellow and purple lipstick, on her family farm during the day, but at night she was a beautiful (and hot) waitress in a fancy restaurant where the rich...

Nothing could express how happy Adam was, he didn't care Belle was a bat; they were together again. He embraced her with his beastly arms and she embraced him back with her bat wings/hands.

"You weren't fooling around when you said that you become a bat at night." Adam said.

"I'm just happy that you were able to recognize me," Belle said, "but what happened to you? You're a...a..." Belle couldn't say the word, mainly because she didn't want to make Adam upset.

"I know," he sighed, "I was so upset and sad that you were gone, I would rather be in this body again than not having you with me anymore."...

Adam didn't what to think or feel. First, Belle disappears as soon as her aunt and step-grandmother arrive here and now; he's become the Beast once again.

"Why is this happening?" he asked himself.

"Hello, your highness." Adam jumped, he thought it was Belle, but it wasn't. He knew Belle was not known for saying 'your highness', he turned around and saw, standing in a corner, the enchantress. He growled at her.

"What in heaven's name are you doing back?" he growled.

"Try not to growl at me." The enchantress said.

"It's hard not to!" Adam said angrily, "What gave you the reason to change me back...

The next morning came; Maurice was getting everything ready for the arrival of his sister and stepmother. The servants helped out as well, but Belle and Adam didn't do anything. They knew about the horror of Fiona and Celia. Belle and Adam stood on the balcony just waiting to hear that Fiona and Celia were here. Adam could feel the fear and sadness coming from Belle.

Just then, there was the galloping of horses. Belle perked up and looked at the bridge, she saw eight black horses pulling three large carriages. Adam saw the carriages and looked back at Belle, she was acting like a scared little...

There was silence in the room as tears continued to fall down Belle's face. Adam couldn't believe what he had heard; her aunt and grandmother tried to kill Belle and Tintement and placed the same curse on both of them. He knew that Belle didn't want to talk about this, but he had to know more in order to help her. After all, she helped him when he was cursed.

"How...exactly does you father play in this role?" Adam asked.

"What are you asking?" Belle asked.

"Why don't you want your father to know about your cousin?, he asked, "Does he know about everything?"

"No," she answered, "Papa thinks that...

Just then, the sun started to set. Adam and Belle gathered the blanket and the basket and headed back to the castle. When they opened the front door, the castle servants were doing their last few chores for the day. Adam decided to go to the library, Belle told him that she would meet him there. While Belle was putting the dirty picnic dishes in the kitchen sink, she head a yell or and shout of pain from Adam. She quickly went into one of the halls, her jaw dropped from the sight of what happened.

Her cousin, Tintement, was standing of Adam's back. When he was walking through the halls to the...
