Chapter 1:
Prince Adam couldn't be happier. The spell was broken and he had found his soul mate, Belle. She was truly a beauty and he loved her with all his heart and knew that she loved him the same. If she hadn't, the curse wouldn't have been broken. He became human again early in the morning, so the whole day was filled with festivities.
By the end of the night, all the guests had left and the prince's servants were cleaning up. Adam guided Belle to his bedroom in the west wing, and there they should sleep until the next morning.
It wasn't long after everyone in the castle went to sleep that Adam heard thunder slowly venturing up to the castle. He didn't think anything of the storm that was brewing outside; his thoughts were on belle and the day they spent together as humans. He knew he was tired from celebrating, but he couldn't fall asleep. He looked over at his beauty that was already fast asleep. 'I have to try and get some sleep' he thought to himself. He gently moved from lying on his back to the side, and slowly closed his eyes.
All of a sudden, he was startled because he could hear someone screaming, as well as someone laughing. This was not a friendly sounding laugh this was an evil laugh. He quickly recognized the woman screaming, it was Belle. 'Why was Belle screaming?' Something in him knew that something was wrong. He could hear Belle but couldn't see her. Blackness surrounded him. He could not figure out who was laughing. She sounded familiar, but he couldn't make it out.
He suddenly woke up, remembering the wicked laugh of the woman he couldn't recognize. He gently reached over to touch Belle, but she wasn't there. He figured she probably got up and decided not to disturb his slumber. This was his first full morning of being human, and he couldn't wait to spend more time with Belle. He cheerfully got out of bed and rushed to find Belle. He looked all over the castle, but she was not where to be found.
When he reached the kitchen he found Chef Bouche cooking. Chef Bouche was the head chef of the castle, and Adam loved his food. He hadn't seen Bouche since the curse was broken, but he knew it was him. He remembered that he use to be a kitchen appliance, a stove as a matter of fact.
"Good morning Chef Bouche" Adam said.
"Oh good morning, your majesty. I didn't hear you come in." Bouche replied. Adam swiftly placed himself on top of the counter, sitting with a smile.
Seeing this, Bouche spoke. "You're in a happy mood this morning, if I don't say so myself, your majesty."
Adam smiled even bigger. "Of course I'm happy. It's the first full day of being human again. What's not to be happy about?"
Bouche looked at him with a puzzled face, which Adam ignored.
"Have you seen my beautiful Belle this morning? She wasn't there when I woke up and I cant find her anywhere in the castle," asked Adam.
With an even more confused look, Bouche responded, "Belle? Who is Belle?"
