Author's Announcement:

Welcome to…. Chapter 2 of this story guys!

I figured I can make at least two more chapters like I stated into my profile, before doing anything more-so, so I do expect this chapter to be up firstly before the next one, chapter 3 (4 if you count prologue) that is.

Now this one, you will be familiar with minor surprising facts. Especially when it does come to the Maurice part within the chapter; you know with the Inn/Lounge being involved. So like I also like to remind you all, I plan on having Belle, Prince Adam (who is really The Beast once his curse is gone), and Mary (Morgana) to travel slightly as well as from time to time, venture into books of sorts that were secretly located within the castle's own library for Mary to be part-of, and maybe, find new friends as such. Including traveling to certain available locations.

I would also like to state I will try and incorporate most of the Disney movies I know or possibly seen into this fic, so do try and not be confused as to why I added them into it as they are either future or past timelines as such (Most due to family being involved, lol).

So since I forgot to mention it in the last chapter, I do not own any given franchise I tend to be using, characters, or anything as such. Mostly my own plot mixed into said plotline, and my OC's (with others also either letting me use them or suggested by them as such). I did however… Jafar would be tortured to listen Barney the Dinosaur singing "It's a Small World After All" repeatedly every time he ends it until he goes bonkers, and does the cha-cha-cha-slide dances.

Warnings: Flashback, Mentioning of Something Personal to Morgana, Plots by Bad Guys, Godly Mischief Briefly, Quite a few Singing (Slightly Modified as well to Include Characters), Comedy-Like Actions and New Villains Introduced Briefly.

Thoughts or "Whispering"

LeFou: "Bonjour!" = singing by people (which I do not own at all; slightly modify it to fit characters though sometimes)

So without any further-ado, let's begin the next chapter to this fic.

(Adjusted and fixed: 7/23/18)

Normal POV; with The Beast as he, three hours later, heads to the East Wing:

The Beast or plainly Beast as he has been known for some time now, decided to; in reluctance, to check on the child. Yet it has been three hours since he, a cursed prince, locked the child's father into the tower's dungeons that the castle he owns has.

In fact, he was surprised by the old man; despite him showing fear after seeing him for the first time, after his child was sent by his servant to the East Wing that is; smelling as well as could clearly tell she was sick in the first place and knew this fault was mostly the father, not hers at entering his castle.

(Flashback Begins; Three Hours Earlier)

Once the child was gone, The Beast decided to make his appearance known while he could plainly tell from the smell the old man gave off at this moment, was currently scared by not only knowing where his child went; he figured, but more-so at who ordered it as such.

Maurice looked to the right-side of the chair firstly before moving to the left, and then froze while now seeing The Beast and shocking him in his fear, slightly. "Who are you! What you doing here?" Beast then accused once the child he heard from his ears, was well enough away to not hear him; with The Beast also forcing Maurice out of his personal chair while at the same time, making the old man back-up.

While The Beast was making Maurice back-up by advancing to him, Maurice himself was more-so scared to this, mixed to where his youngest child was sent to. But now, he began to try and explain himself to why they were both here. "We were lost in the woods…" but however he could not help but stare at The Beast; despite his fear at the moment. "You are not welcomed here!" The Beast however growled with half-shouting to the old man, in anger; also advancing upon Maurice as he in turn, began to stutter before letting out a few words; still looking at him like he has been, "I'm Sorry."

Beast now noticed the old man was staring at him that way and growled in accusation with a firm look to Maurice, "What are you staring at?" Maurice despite his fear; getting a idea that would hopefully work yet he knew he had to find his younger child and get out of this place, but he also stuttered in his fear at The Beast however, "Noth-Nothing!"

Beast was slightly surprised yet angered still as he knew he could; which he quickly went in front of the fleeing old man, was possibly attempting to escape him. Yet he also stated firmly with rage that was also being shown in his voice; at his words, at the same time, "So, you've come to stare at The Beast, have you?" Maurice was slightly stunned though at how fast The Beast was yet still backed up while The Beast in turn, advanced once again to him, "Please, we mean no harm! My sick child and we needed a place to stay!" The Beast however had different plans as he then firmly stated; to make Maurice wide eyed at his own words to him, "I will give you a place to stay!"

Beast then picked up Maurice without effort and began to also carry him out of the room now while the old man began to beg to him, as The Beast also slams the door harshly to plunge his remaining cursed staff in darkness.

Eventually he shook the old man to stop his muttering to him in fear, a few minutes later; shutting Maurice up within moments as they headed to the dungeon towers. Once there, he tossed Maurice casually into the nearest cell to his point; ignoring how cold the old man gotten within moments as he then slammed the door and without words began to turn to leave, yet he then froze by the defeated voice Maurice gave off; making The Beast briefly turn to him in minor surprise by his last request, he assumed, to The Beast.

"Please, take care of Morgana. I wouldn't know as long as I stay here, that being sick would worry me even more-so to who you are." Maurice jumped back slightly as Beast was now within moments in his face, and declared in a growl; not detecting a hidden tone in The Beast's voice to the old man, "Despite you being here foolish man, you would care more-so to that child, then your own life?"

Maurice surprised him once again as he nodded yet this made him now suddenly curious as to what he meant; as a minor confession of sorts, the conversation ended afterwards, however, from Maurice's words with The Beast also leaving in a huff, to think this over, "Morgana, my adoptive child, is very special. In fa-fact I saw she didn't fear you at all for some reason and yet, she mouthed bye to me as well."

(Flashback Ends)

Beast was now nearing the one of few guests rooms made within the East Wing as he was also currently following the coatrack servant, and quickly opened the door to let Beast enter; ignoring the deeply sleeping wardrobe that is one of his servants, and looked at the child in question carefully.

Despite him knowing his decision was a good choice, he saw that she still slept deeply; slowly breathing that is due to her… Morgana, if he recalled her adoptive father's naming her as such, sickness yet also paused since Beast smelled three others he was not familiar with, and was to his sudden suspicions were briefly here; within the room itself. He then rudely woken up the wardrobe as she was instantly alert, and was about to do one of her rants until she froze at seeing her master looking firmly at her, yet was also surprised as well as confused by his sudden question, "Did you see who was with the child in this room?"

To Beasts minor ire; with him also facepalming to himself at her words, in annoyance, the wardrobe; he now realized, did not see anything or knew about the child in this room, at this moment, "But Master, why would a child be here let alone three random strangers?"

He wordlessly gestured to Morgana to make the wardrobe gasp in minor surprise; trying to remain calm within the child's presence; but his patients was also growing thin. "Oh my… Despite her being sick, I see she might be an eye-catcher when she gets older from looks alone." Beast then gave his servant a 'What' look in which the wardrobe also saw and changed the subject; now seeing like he is that the child's arm, to his hidden shock, was healed somehow and also fully knew it was broken by the way his servant carried her, it should of still be broken. "The child should still be sick for some time I can guess, Master, from observations alone."

The Beast merely nodded stiffly and as he was near the child, he was surprised that the little girl unknowingly, and unconsciously, grabbed him now; with no wincing at all from her face, yet unknowingly made The Beast blush lightly at what she called him in her deep sleep, "Teddy." He ignored the wardrobe's apparently not-trying-to-laugh look on her face, yet he smelt now; after smelling the room, to make him freeze in place, at a half-familiar scent he detected when he became… this. A hardly familiar stench of that female that cursed this place, and also himself as well, was briefly here.

He then ordered his servants; with the aid of both the wardrobe and coat rack that is while giving child-sized blanket of sorts in a jade-silver mixed color, and replaced him with that as well carefully, to make sure they covered the grounds of the entire castle itself, to their confusion, but when they searched top to bottom... there was no others besides themselves.

The Beast was in both relief and angered at this sine he must of figured out the Enchantress must of had a reason of healing the child's arm; he also suddenly realized, yet kept this minor information to himself as he decided to head-back to the room in case The Rose was messed with, by her presence.

Meanwhile at The Evergreen's Home…

Gaston was currently up to his latest scheme at this moment: He has set-up a wedding for Belle to attend to near her home. Yet unlike the castle area, the area was sunny yet getting close to the evening within a few hours or so, from the position of the sun.

The Baker made a wedding cake he; Gaston himself, paid for. The Triplet's to his ire came yet most of the townsfolk that wasn't busy though, did as well,even LeFou on his part; that impressed Gaston slightly, made a small band to perform at the wedding. So everything was in place to make his quick plan to work.

Yet both he and his sidekick were hiding behind trees and bushes the Evergreen's had on their property, and Gaston moved the limbs to get a brief view; relieved Belle wasn't at all outside. LeFou although ruined his happy thoughts he was having from his few moments of his daydream with Belle, by his next words the man began to quickly agree with, "Hehe! Oh boy! Belle's gonna get the surprise of her life, huh Gaston." "Yep. This is her Lucky day!" Gaston moved from his spot, unknowingly forcing a random limb into LeFou's mouth as it also swung, and hit him as well.

Gaston then sees mostly everyone looking to him as he was standing tall and proud as always, and stated in gratefulness to them all as well, "I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding." Gaston worded loudly that is so everyone could hear him yet also added in a humor-like move on his part, "But first, I better go in there and… propose to the girl!" He lightly laughed at his words while the others laughed alongside him.

The Triplets however cried seeing that their crush was about to be married off to Belle, yet knowing they had free time as the Sundale's wanted them to babysit the two children that Morgana befriended later-on the same day. Since the two did something to not earn their time at the fair they were heading to; the same one Maurice and Morgana was supposed to be at.

Gaston then grabbed LeFou as his sidekick neared him, and worded to only him softly enough for the small man to hear; in a firm yet knowing tone, "Now, you LeFou. When Belle comes out that door-" "Oh I know, I know!" LeFou interrupted Gaston to the man's own ire at this, and also stated while making the band play "Here Comes the Bride" with only music, "I strike-up the band!" Yet within moments, Gaston grabbed a spare baritone instrument, and quickly slammed it on top of LeFou's head while stating firmly to him, "Not yet!" Though if Gaston would of paid attention, he would of laughed slightly at seeing LeFou's lips coming out of the end of the instrument somehow, and stating sorry, but at the moment he headed to the front door.

However inside the Evergreen home, Belle sighed as she despite knowing her father and little sister would be alright, she felt… as strange as it sounds, off as if, something might have happened to them both. Yet despite Belle's small feelings of that as such, she decided to keep herself busy by all means: Reading a book. The very same book she discovered to her own surprise, was somehow… not dirty or ruined at all; with Belle also being surprised that there were however, extra pages within to both her curiosity and minor shock from oddly now having moving yet illustrated pictures, based off the book itself; not known to her that magic from Morgana also imbued the book with somewhat intelligence and added from Belle's memories, all the other stories she read... If it would let her that is, as she herself, would need to pass a test as it would also like a certain person's own magic-based book (A sneeze from said person by being mentioned, in a odd castle-like world) would aid Belle in her time of need.

She was however on that one part she likes until she paused in reading, as Belle also heard the front door now loudly knock; to confuse her slightly. Belle then gently placed the book on the stand near her, and got up from the chair and also headed to the front door to see who it was, and she then looked into the recently month-old viewing device her father installed with Morgana's help, and saw in a fish-eyes view of Gaston; an accurate view that is.

Belle now moaned to herself lightly at him now; here at all times, yet kept it to herself as she opens the door while also stating to a grinning Gaston, "Gaston, what a pleasant… surprise." Yet she also had to back-up slightly as he neared her in smooth-strokes while also stating to Belle, in confidence, "Isn't it though? I'm just full of surprises. You know, Belle. There's not a girl in town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes. This is the day..." he paused as he briefly looked to the mirror Belle used the second time while letting Morgana look at herself back then to look at himself while he licked his teeth clean briefly, and then looked back to her in confidence still, "This is the day your dreams come true."

Being humored as if he was joking, she decided to state; with light humor into her voice, while making Gaston slightly frown inside yet kept that smile on his face, "What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?"

Gaston then began to move while also stating; luckily not covering Belle's book as the book unknown to him but to her inner surprise as if by magic, went to the fireplace-stand by brief teleporting. Though to her ire, she sees him plop into her father's chair and easily kicks off his slightly muddy boots; with Belle also seeing some holes that showed some of his toes, and Gaston was also wiggling them briefly at the same time. "Plenty. Here picture this: A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill on the roasting fire, and my little wife, also messages my feet while the little ones play with the dogs."

He then got up within moments; not seeing Belle's sudden disgusted look that was brief on her face, as that changed to a fake smile look to him while she also asked hesitantly, hoping the number he mentioned was something else, "Dogs?" He shook his head as he neared her still, slowly that is with him briefly pounding his chest while also stating proud-like to her, "No Belle! Strapping boys, like me!"

Belle however to make him pick-up his pace to corner her; with Belle also stating at the same time. as she got the charmed book from the mantle of the fireplace-stand, and placing a mark into it on her last page currently, "Imagine that." Gaston, as he neared her then stated confidently to her as well, making Belle nervous secretly to this, "And do you know who that wife will be?" Belle then placed the book back with the others on the shelf and stated in hope to let her have some space, "Let me think."

Belle didn't have time to gasp as she was now cornered by him, and he stated with narrowed eyes that gleamed something she didn't like at all, in them, "You, Belle!" Belle quickly thinking, ducked before he can truly trap her in, and moved to the front door that was closed; also secretly getting the knob to turn if necessary. "Gaston, I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say." Belle now stated to him unsurely.

Gaston however began to move furniture and chairs out of the way as he cornered her again, but this time with his hands on the door. "Say you'll marry me." Belle as she saw he was going to kiss her by force, turned the handle quickly and stated while being half sorry to him also, "I'm very sorry, Gaston, but I just don't deserve you." Gaston tumbled to his surprise as Belle moved out of the way, and he to her sudden-yet-hidden amusement, landed into the mud near their pig they owned. Belle was however surprised by what she saw or heard more-of, a band playing the song she knew was for weddings now; with LeFou conducting them. Yet she quickly closed the door to chill until they were gone.

However outside; as LeFou now noticed Gaston's legs were sticking out of the mud. Cautiously, as he also saw Belle throw-out Gaston's boots and reclosing the front door once again, saw a pig come out first, then followed by Gaston's entire body with the pig being on his head, tumbling into the mud with a minor squeal of sorts. With a head-tilt that is to do so from Gaston, LeFou asked still slightly in the spirit most people like to have by aiding weddings, lifted the conductor's wand through Gaston's muddy hair and asked with that, and a little hesitance; the band stopped playing as a result, "So… How did it go?"

He yelped yet struggled slightly as Gaston now had him by his throat, and stated firmly in determination now; despite the current rejection by Belle herself to him, as well to his embarrassing predicament, "I'll have Belle for my wife, make no mistake about that!" Gaston then dropped his sidekick into the mud casually as he then began to head to the porch, grab his boots, and walk away in anger mixed with dejection.

LeFou however stated to the pig; Pierre that is, "Touchy!" With the pig only giving grunts on agreement. Yet thirty minutes later, everyone was gone now; wedding decorations and all.

Belle then reluctantly came-out and was then partially relieved that most of the townsfolk was gone, including Gaston, as the farm animals that came up to her slightly; mostly the chickens as the others did their own thing, "Is he gone?" Belle now asked the chickens while secretly knowing the animals are slightly smarter than most animals she saw at markets, or other places that her and her family owns (Yet not outside of her known home she known for a while), in which they nodded a yes, in few quick bobs.

Now fully relieved, Belle began to state in annoyance about what he; Gaston done only recently while gathering food to feed the farm animals on their land, "Can you imagine, he asked ME to marry him. Me, that wife of that boorish, brainless…"

Belle now trialed off as she began to mock-sing to mostly herself with the animal's listening to her at the same time. Yet she also looked onwards to the valley itself as it was beautiful if you could see from where she was standing, since it was near their Wheatfield.

Belle: "Madame Gaston, can't you see it. Madame Gaston, his little wife."

Belle unknowingly made her look; from whatever was available, to look like a fancy madame of sorts, before kicking the feed bucket while also surprising the animals yet they quickly fed from the likely accident, without hesitation, as Belle continued to sing; disposing the madame look within moments onto the ground. Although… Belle also fed the animals fully, with more feed, before doing so.

Belle: "Not me, no sir, I guarantee it… I want more than this provincial life…"

Belle was now in the field after running; enjoying the gentle yet kind breeze, as she continued to sing; gesturing it as well; more with kind-like loathing to venture out of this town then anything as such.

Belle: "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere; I want it more than I can tell."

Belle then decided to sit on the ground while plucking a dandelion that was ready to blow the seeds off, as she gently sang softly to herself now.

Belle: "And for once it might be grand, to have someone understand… I want much more than they've got planned…"

Belle suddenly froze as she heard familiar galloping and whining; also wheels of the wagon behind said creature and looked to gasp in sudden dread forming into her heart, as Belle now saw Phillippe all alone; without her little sister or father with him, coming to her in fear. She quickly dropped the flower as the seeds within moments trailed behind the horse that came to her in sudden relieve; Belle saw in the horses eyes, at seeing her.

"Phillippe! What are you doing here? Where's both Papa and Morgana?" Belle began to gently ask the horse as she also tried to calm him down, which worked by her gentle yet soothing words; mixed with worried questions. Belle in her worried state quickly unhitched the wagon from Phillippe and stated in worry; not seeing the guilt in the horses eyes now when Phillippe saw her face, "Please you have to take me to them!"

Unknown to the two, a familiar goddess decided to aid the two by making the horse see his favorite treat: An apple of sorts; which only the horse saw, to led them both to the castle.

Now at the castle within a timespan of thirty minutes, Belle was in both minor fear at now knowing they; both her father and adoptive sister, might be inside this odd-looking castle, yet decided to state more-so to herself her own question without an answer, "What is this place?" However Belle began to once again calm Philippe as something spooked him; not knowing it was a certain god that was told by Death herself, to remain behind as he also forced the horse to see wolves in his vision. He silently cursed to himself as the illusion was easily and somehow broken by Belle's soothing words as she then got off the horse now; comforting Philippe slightly before noticing with hope, her father's hat was on the ground.

Belle went quickly past the castle's gates to the hat; despite it being cold and slightly damp from the rain she figured earlier, and stated to herself in worry slightly while also gently holding the hat as well, "Papa."

Back into the castle at this time however, as Belle was now inside it as she began to look while trying to find anyone to aid her, both Lumiere and Cogsworth began to discuss to themselves in a spare room of the events a few hours earlier to themselves. "Couldn't keep quiet, could we. Just had to invite them both in to stay didn't we? Serve the man tea, sit in the Master's Chair, and pet the pooch." Cogsworth began to both complain as well as state in a 'I-knew-it' tone to the candlestick. "I was trying to be hospitable to them both, especially to the little girl he has." Lumiere defended himself while turning and crossing his metallic arms to the clock.

Belle however as she was now on the stairs; since she checked the two rooms, and one of which unknown to her hosted her little sister and father earlier, began to climb while stating loudly to see if anyone would still help her; mixed with seeing if her father or little sister would respond. "Hello, anyone here? Papa, Mary, are you here?"

However in the castle kitchens this time, the same teapot or kettle in terms, Mrs. Potts that is, began to do or more-so make the dishes themselves go and clean themselves as her daughter began to now come into the room in sudden excitement on her cup-like face now, "Momma, Momma, this is a older girl in the castle!" Giving her daughter a skeptical look, the human-turned-kettle stated firmly to the teacup with her name being fully mentioned, "Now Chipana Susana Potts, I won't take to anymore of your wild stories at this time." Chipana looked to her mother in shock at this as she saw her mother now had a firm look of disbelief now showing, yet Chipana stated to try and convince her she indeed saw Belle roaming around the castle, "BUT really Momma, I saw her!"

Yet Mrs. Potts saw to her disgust her child was muddy and was probably playing outside in mud puddles once again, and stated as she also did so, "Not another word from you Chipana, into the tub!" With a splash, Chipana or Chip was now starting her bath. However a random feather duster servant now entered in excitement, as well while also stating to surprise Mrs. Potts at now believing her child, in a French-English accent that is, "A girl! I saw a girl in the castle!" And with that she quickly took-off to tell others.

Chip then came-up after squirting water from her small mouth and stated to her mother half-smug as she received a look to make her sheepish afterwards, "See I told ya."

Back with the candlestick and clock, they were still all this time arguing with each other.

"Irresponsible, devil-may-care, waxy eared, slack jawed-" as Cogsworth began to rant rude names to Lumiere in which he in turn, was mock-mouthing with his candle as such to mimic the clock's words, but they both froze as they saw to what they couldn't believe, a girl; Belle, was in the hallway and passed them, as they were still in the room. Especially since Belle got their attention as she stated two certain terms they quickly understood, "Papa, Mary, where are you?"

Lumiere seeing an opportunity, stated while gesturing to where they both saw Belle from, "Did you see that?" They both ran around since they looked as they both saw Belle still going down the corridor, from merely looking from the corner-part of the entry/exit of the room itself. "It's a girl!" Lumiere now stated, an older girl that he think is possibly the one; besides the other child, Morgana or Mary if what she dubbed the child's name as from calling both her and the father out.

Cogsworth however rolled his eyes at the candlestick and stated in a knowing-way to make Lumiere inwardly groan at his companion's ignorance slightly, "I know it's a girl." Lumiere merely gave him a look that was also mixed with hidden excitement while also stating, still gesturing to the retreating Belle, "Don't you see? She's the one, the one to break the spell!"

Lumiere now begins to chase after her with Cogsworth also now realizing this, quickly began to catch-up to the candlestick while also stating at the same time, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Eventually after chasing her, they both realized they were near the entrance to the towers where The Beast placed her father, Maurice, at. So they decided to quickly yet quietly sneak-up behind Belle and sneak as well as also open said entryway to the towers. Yet they were also not that very stealthy at the same time as the old door surely creaked open, getting Belle's sudden attention as she was also now alert.

"Papa, is that you?" Belle unsurely stated more-so to herself since she; Belle also began to head to the door while possibly thinking someone somehow may have opened it for her, and also thinking she might end-up finding help to locate her father and sibling. Yet she quickly began to move as she saw movement; not realizing it was Lumiere doing so to possibly lead-her even more.

Cogsworth however remained behind in case The Beast would eventually come to this-side of the castle; which if he turned, he would have seen an upset-looking Beast. Yet the Beast also began to transverse up the stairs as well as he also heard the new stranger state in a female voice; to his surprise yet also narrowed his eyes from the words she spoke, "Hello, is someone here?"

After traversing through a lot of stairs, Belle finally thought she would have caught up to the person who might have opened the door while also stating as well; not seeing Lumiere disguised back to a regular candlestick, slightly passing him while stating in hope and aid, "Wait! I'm looking for my father and sister!"

Belle now sees a candlestick in the small archway from the top of the steps, as well as a torch nearby, which she gently grabbed since it was in easy-reaching distance to the young adult, and then stated in confusion to herself; not seeing a sad-faced Lumiere looking at her briefly, "That's funny, I'm sure there was someone-" she froze as she heard a scuffle nearby and saw cells to her astonishment yet stated cautiously; with a hint of minor fear mixed with bravery in her voice when she now asked aloud, "I-I-Is there anyone here?"

She now had hope in her heart as Belle now heard a familiar voice then state nearby, in one of the cells she quickly moved to, "Belle?" It was Maurice. Once Belle however was now in front of his cell; making her father look at her in both worry and relief at the same time, and making sure he was ok while also stating it as well, "Oh, Papa!"

Lumiere also was glad she, the older girl, found their father yet froze as he saw his master's look to him yet remained silent as he went into the darkness of the area; as the young woman took the only source of light besides the candlestick himself, currently.

"Belle, how did you find me?" Maurice asked her in confusion and worry, his eyes also looking around in case The Beast showed at the same time. Belle thoughts were however different as she heard her father cough in sickness she knew, and felt his hands as they were ice-cold to make her worry at the same time as well as stating it aloud, "Oh, your hands are like ice. We have to get you out of here." Belle stated bravely and in determination in her words now.

Maurice though slowly panicked at what his older daughter stated to him, and began to tell her; surprising her briefly he saw in those orbs of hers, "Belle, I want you to leave this place." Belle however was stubborn for once in her life, and stated while looking close to her father for something to open the cell-lock with, "Who done this to you?" Maurice however shook his head and stated to her in worry now in his voice, as he thought he heard footsteps nearby, "No time to explain. You must go… Now!" "I won't leave you!" Belle now exclaimed to her father in both a stern voice laced with fear, and also worry, over his health more-so his concerns, for her life.

Suddenly without warning; despite hearing her father shout for her to run, Belle was moved-away from her father's cell rather suddenly, dropping the torch into the puddle on the ground nearby at the same time as Belle was also turned with whoever was holding her, remained concealed in the now dark-room with only a beam of moonlight as she realized it was night-time now as well, was the only main source. "What are you doing here?"

"Who's there? Who are you?" Belle exclaimed slightly in a fearful tone as The Beast within moments. was away from her slightly as he while moving within the darkness, now stating firmly to her; with his eyes mostly trained on Belle as well, "The master of this castle." He growled while moving to then make Belle's heart to race at the sound slightly.

Belle decided however if this was the person who owned the castle like he stated, in that deep-voice of his, she began to start pleading her case to maybe let her father out. "I've come for both my father and little sister; So please let him out? Can't you see he's sick?" However her hopes were slightly dashed as she then heard him say within the darkness rather stiffly to her; anger slightly in his voice Belle detected, "Then he shouldn't have trespassed here."

Despite this, Belle still pleaded with whoever she has yet to see, to still free her father and maybe her sister, she figured as well, "But he could die. Please I'll do anything!" She then heard scuffling slightly to her right and heard him state lowly to her, in slight anger; with Beast fully knowing it was pointless for her to beg as his mind was made-up, "There is nothing you could do. He is my prisoner."

Belle began to quickly think things through from her smart mind she has, as she also saw the tall-like silhouette she must of figured was the master of the castle himself, was beginning to leave. There must be something that I can- Belle froze at this idea, yet knew it was risky and something she would regret later-on, but Belle swiftly decided as she now heard her father cough once more. "Take me instead!" She stated in a tone of pleading with sadness and hope, mixed in it.

The Beast heard her partially as he was in rage at the moment, yet stilled to recalled what she just asked or pleaded, since The Beast didn't know he also muttered before doing so; turning briefly to look at her in the darkness; him partially close to the moonlight from the ceiling, "You would take his place?"

Maurice realizing to what Belle was doing, began to plead to his daughter as he wanted her to leave and possibly take Morgana with her, if the castle's master would let her as well, "Belle! No! You don't know what you doing!" Sadly ignoring her father however, she asked now as Belle saw she got the master's undivided attention, "If I did, would you let him go?" The Beast while recalling the curse, decided right then to make sure his terms were also stated to make this deal come true; also realizing an opportunity when he clearly see it, "Yes, but you must promise to stay here forever."

Belle as she pondered this, realized all this time she has not seen the master of the castle at all during their conversation, and stated with her head tilted partially with her left-eye lowered while she asked to make The Beast hesitate yet also obliged within moments, "Come into the light?" Belle now thought in shock and fear as when she saw him slowly approached into the light, looking upwards to him until she couldn't stand it anymore, and went to her father's cell while Maurice also stated; with minor comfort to his elder child, in worry still, "No Belle. I won't let you do this!"

Belle however hearing her father state this, brought some hidden bravery to come-out within her heart, and she then regained her composure and stood straight with her eyes closed while stepping into the light as well, unknown to her making the beast see a very virgin-ish look on her form currently, "You have my word." Belle didn't jump though to also secretly surprise Beast, yet moved to quickly open her father's cage while stating one word to seal this deal she made, also briefly touching Belle's right-shoulder in the process, "Done!" Belle however collapsed onto the floor on her knees, her head now covered in her hands at this realization of her deal.

She now heard the cell-door open though; with sudden hope in her heart to maybe say goodbye to her father, which he now quickly approached her form on the ground and began to state kindly, hoping for Belle to change her mind as well, "No, Belle. Listen to me I already have lived my life-" The Beast without remorse or pity on his face began to quickly drag Maurice away; with Belle's heart now saddened yet with sudden fear mixed in, as this was her last meeting possibly with her father, "Wait!"

Maurice realizing as he saw tears on his elder child's face began to beg The Beast to which he ignored; not seeing Belle in sorrow and pity at seeing the master of the castle taking her father away, "Belle!" "Wait!" Belle pleaded once again as she then saw them both head-down and with her quickly heading to the cell's window as a few minutes later, saw her father being dragged to the palanquin that was covered in minor-dead vines.

Belle also now realized that she; to her feared sight, saw that Morgana wasn't with her father at all.

Down below as Belle couldn't hear that far away, Maurice begged to The Beast still while in his firm grip, "No, please spare my daughters!"

The Beast however had other ideas as he opened the door the object had, and tossed him into it while stating to make him fearful of this, "They are no longer of your own concerns; Take him to the village he lives at." At the end The Beast ordered to the carriage, which within moments broke the vines and began to move to the gate, and out of the castle grounds in spider-like movements.

"Please let me out! Please!" Maurice loudly stated within the object that Belle heard to finally make her at this point, to be consumed in sadness and sorrow at not at all saying goodbye to her father, and began to cry to herself at this.

Eventually within a few minutes at running with ease due to his curse, The Beast eventually returned to the tower yet was stopped by his servant still where he was, Lumiere, by his single word in term of who he is, "Master?"

"What!" The Beast stated to his servant in an angry tone, yet now inwardly agreed to his reluctance at his servant's wise words now. "Since the girl is going to be with us for quite some time, I thought we could offer her a more comfortable room-" The Beast though growled briefly to stop his servant also at the same time, began to move to the location he heard Belle crying, not hearing as Lumiere stated more-so to himself, "Then again, maybe not."

Though what he came into as he saw Belle cry for once, tugged a feeling of guilt in his heart while also seeing her now look to him, and stating in crying still, "You didn't let me say goodbye. I'll never see him again… You didn't let me say goodbye." Quickly deciding his servant must be right at seeing her current state, decided to state, with surprise he saw in her orbs at him; tears now slowly falling due to being shocked by what he stated to her, "I'll show you to your room."

"My room," Belle now began to ask to him in surprise while also briefly gesturing to the cell room her father, and now her, was in, "But I thought-" "You really want to stay in the tower?" The Beast now stated to her in his own question loudly yet not too loud to be considered threatening, more-so to that of surprise mixed with a really-based tone. "No." Belle stated softly to him in which he also heard, and turned while also stating firmly as if, an order, "Then follow me."

Beast now began to lead Belle to the East Wing, to possibly where the other younger girl; her sister he figured, must be.

Belle however lagged behind slightly that The Beast ignored as he also carried Lumiere, as the female also saw the hideous sculptures and paintings on the walls; with the shadows making them slightly alive from the light moving still. Frightened once more, she also gasped while catching up to the half-surprised Beast, with him seeing a lone tear fall down the left-side of her face, from her left-eye.

Lumiere however sensed an opportunity for some minor conversation, quietly stated to The Beast; getting his attention within moments also, "Say something to her."

"Hmm? Oh," The Beast now looked to Belle as she now noticed he was looking at her as he hesitated on talking yet did-so anyways as well, "I… Um…Hope you like it here," he looked to the candlestick as Lumiere simply urged him to go-on. "The castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you like;; Except the West Wing." The Beast also gestured with his free hand; a pointed finger upwards when he stated this.

Belle listened yet was also intrigued to what that wing was now and also began to ask; The Beast also realizing this, "What's in the West Wng?" They both stopped as she frozen slightly by his anger-like statement to her, in an order, "It's forbidden!"

The Beast then turned around with that tattered cape of his swishing also at the same time, yet as they began to now head to past the same room that Morgana was in; unknown to Belle, they froze as a child-like scream began to suddenly penetrate within the room nearby; with Belle before he could stop her, went into it. Yet he was also confused by the name Belle mentioned now as he knew from the old man it was Morgana and not… "Mary!"

Though as the three now entered, they froze in shock and also minor suspicion in The Beast's eyes, as Morgana's eyes were wide-open and were also pure-white, as well as glowing, with them realizing she must be in a horrible dream of sorts since the child was also thrashing in her current bed. The Beast only watched as he saw Belle comfort the child; with minor memories of his own mother doing so, before shaking his head and merely waited as Belle kept calming her sick sister; Belle realized, down.

After nearly several minutes of Belle while surprising The Beast, singing softly while comforting the little girl with a song he was familiar with; her eyes now stopped glowing and she also stilled. Though to his and the candlestick's hidden shock, she began to flutter her eyes and he froze at how beautiful those eyes were; since he didn't see them at all when he first saw the child back at his personal den; with Morgana also blinking a few times and when she also saw Belle, the child hugged her sibling.

"Belle, I dreamed of him again…" The Beast heard the child mumble lightly to her sister now, as her face was in Belle's shirt; also realizing it was the older female's name. Yet he realized to his ire as well as confusion to two things: One, his wardrobe servant was deeply asleep once again to maybe not alert him as such, and two, seeing Belle tensed-up at the mention of what Morgana stated to her.

He then coughed into his hand, with both of them seeing him alongside Morgana to his inner surprise, was merely confused as the child tilted her head unlike her sister; who was on guard however, "I will leave you two to catch-up on things but if you both do need anything, my servants will tend to you both." Belle, Morgana now saw; despite her breathing was better slightly as she and Belle also knew how fast Morgana recovers from her own illnesses, was also surprised at how tender he sounded.

Lumiere however whispered a suggestion to his master, which he heard as well. "Dinner, invite them both to dinner; Since the child is still sick." Angry however rather suddenly, due to the curse; with him stating it as well as an order, "You both will join me for dinner. That's not a request!" The Beast then slammed the door within moments to make Belle scared at this.

Before however she could move and pound on the door, Belle froze with Morgana keeping her in place while also looking at her, strangely knowing, yet she stilled in place by her random question; with sadness now in her own orbs in realization, "Papa isn't here Big Sis?"

Belle decided her sister needed comfort more-so than her fear right now, as Morgana must have been sicker than she thought since she too coughed like her father done, and gently brushed her siblings long hair out of her eyes as to when she looked at Belle, it was as such in the way. "He wanted us to go with him, but I agreed to stay as I take his place," Belle told Morgana gently with her sadly nodding to this, and just held her as outside to Belle's surprise, it was now snowing outside from the opened-like curtained window yet she, while comforting Morgana now at the same time, began to silently cry.

Bela'Verre Inn/Lounge; few hours later:

It was slightly crowded within the Tavern/Inn as most of the townsfolk came inside to either simply have a good time by drinking and telling stories, or maybe get a bite to eat before heading-back to their homes. Which also in terms, included the Triplets, and both Cassie and her half-brother, Will Sundale. Though Cassie was currently sad; to which her sibling and the Triplets also tried to cheer the girl up; despite them also looking-at their crush partially.

For you see everyone, Cassie recently found out earlier by accidently eavesdropping back at her home, she wasn't a twin yet was born oddly, on the same day as her brother, as her father had a drunken one-night stand without knowing and she was dropped on the same day as when Will was born. So in terms, they are born-yet-not-identical twins. Yet she did wonder who her true mother was; not seeing a certain goddess of magic ponder things from hearing the child's honest thoughts, before vanishing.

However, Gaston as he alongside his sidekick was still annoyed all this time while the events happened to Belle, and the other two Evergreen family members, happened. The man was also in his personal chair the establishment also let him use while here, as most of the animals was all by his own doing from either being stuffed or walled trophies, was in dejection and anger. "Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man. No one says 'No' to Gaston!" Gaston himself stated more-so to himself in both dejection and anger still, which also could be clearly heard within his voice.

LeFou; the faithful follower he was, quickly agreed with him as it seemed to his mind, rude as such for Belle rejecting his proposal like that, "Darn right!" Though Gaston ignored him as the man also now sulked to himself; also stating in that tone still, "Dismissed, rejected, publicly humiliated. Why it's more than I can bear."

Gaston then turned his chair around without effort, with LeFou also seeing this, went up front of him to maybe cheer him up by his slight suggestion, "More beer?" "What for? Nothing helps," Gaston now muttered while also turning the chair once again and finished his words, "I'm disgraced."

LeFou as he was truly concerned about his friend, went back in front of him as he stated to try once again to cheer him up once more, "Who you? Never…" LeFou merely moved the man's arms slightly in encouragement; not seeing brief surprise yet minor acceptance in Gaston's orbs at this, as LeFou continued, "You've got to pull yourself together."

LeFou: "Gosh it disturbs me to see you Gaston, looking so down in the dumps."

While LeFou done this, he got a little too close to Gaston, and he in turn punched him; lightly that is to the Old Cronies nearby, as they were drinking, also making them slightly angry yet saw the sidekick was cheering Gaston up, so they decided to pitch-in.

However, they each had an agreement in their eyes as they gazed at LeFou slightly. So when the time came, they would get a slight payback. Yet everyone cheered as LeFou sang the next verse of him cheering Gaston.

LeFou: "Everyone's awed and inspired by you-"

Cassie; Soft voice in annoyance: "Yet I'm not at all."

LeFou; Ignoring the child: "And it's not very hard to see why!"

At this to make Cassie annoyed; despite the Triplets having a crush on him, they quickly took this opportunity to come over and cuddle with the man; with Will giving Cassie a half-look of understanding, as she like him truly knew the man for the real way he was; unlike their parents.

Yet despite this, LeFou decided to keep singing while also moving around and gesturing as well; The Triplets now standing as they admired their crush. But to what amuse Cassie as despite it being wrong from what her stepmother told her at times; which she couldn't help laugh more-so to herself inwardly at opportune moments, saw as LeFou was singing, he grabbed one of the Old Cronies belts, wrapped it around Gaston's neck with the mentioned man quickly flexing due to how tight it was, and easily breaking it. But she also saw a gleam in the Old Cronies eyes filled with mischief as they mostly gazed at the mini-man.

LeFou: "No one's slick as Gaston; No one's quick as Gaston; No one's next as incredibly thick as Gaston, for there's no man in town half as manly; Perfect, a pure paragon!"

The small man danced-jumped on said mentioned persons heads easily somehow, as he got up to Gaston's face as he sang the next part of his words to the man.

LeFou: "You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley, and they'll tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on!"

LeFou to Cassie's inward humor; sad that is as she is still upset about her father keeping her secret for the most of her child-like life, saw the three named men quickly grab in revenge, and began to swing LeFou back and forth near Gaston's face while he saw this as an opportunity to sing still.

Old Cronies: "No one's big like Gaston, kingpin like Gaston."

LeFou: "No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston."

While LeFou sang that part, the three males were able to get a swing close enough for LeFou to make it a point as he used his first finger and wiggled it briefly; seeing his friend being cheered up as he while sitting, began to sang as well in agreement.

Gaston: "As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!"

Old Cronies: "My, what a guy that Gaston!"

LeFou now freed due to the three men getting excited slightly at the singing they were doing, continued to dance while also grabbing a beer-mug filled with beer, as not only the Old Cronies sang, but him as well.

Old Cronies: "Give five hurrahs, give twelve hip-hips."

LeFou: "Gaston is the best and the rest is all drips!"

LeFou now was suddenly sheepish as he accidently splashed Gaston in the face, and within moments, Gaston punched him into the three men as they began to wrestle with everyone but the two kids singing, as one.

All: "No one fights like Gaston, no one bites like Gaston."

In true to that, Gaston suddenly bit one of the wrestlers as he also sang to that in agreement, in pain as well.

Wrestler: "In a wrestling match, nobody bites like Gaston."

Within moments they decided to break-it-up and the Triplets seeing another opportunity to touch the man's muscles, went up to him while they sang now. Yet also they sat on a table nearby not expecting him to lift them easily up to make playful yet half-startled gasps at this.

Triplets: "For there's no one as burly and brawny..."

Gaston: "As you see I've got biceps to spare!"

LeFou as he sat nearby began to agree-sing to him mostly now.

LeFou: "Not a bit of him scraggly or scrawny."

Gaston now getting into the mood of things, opened his shirt slightly to reveal his chest hair while sing-stating it.

Gaston: "That's right! And every last bit of me's covered in hair!"

Old Cronies: "No one hits like Gaston; Matches wit like Gaston."

In agreement to that, we see Gaston playing checkers with another person and as he won, he knocked the board over to get a laugh out of the person. However, LeFou is now holding onto a spittoon while sing-stating to boost the man's ego; Gaston also grabbing a belt and easily chewing it briefly.

LeFou: "In a spitting match, nobody spits like Gaston!"

While chewing still and getting ready to spit, Gaston sang this next part in agreement.

Gaston: "I'm especially good at expectorating! Ptooey!"

He was able to spit it in many objects as the spit wad easily ended up into the same spittoon LeFou was holding onto with the crowd cheer-singing to this.

All: "Ten points for Gaston!"

Gaston now was given eggs by the barkeep per his words, and began to juggle a lot of them with ease while singing in boosted confidence.

Gaston: "When I was a lad I ate four-dozen eggs, every morning to help me get large!"

Gaston easily swallowed and ate the eggs somehow whole. LeFou however, wanting to see if he can do this, also did the trick with three eggs and yet sadly, made a mess on his face. Yet the entire crowd in the area began to sing again, still not the two kids singing to this. But we also see Gaston grabbing his shotgun as it was already filled. He within moments shoots three quick-shots, as they hit some beers from random males nearby; thankfully not hitting them as well.

All: "No one shoots like Gaston, makes those beauts like Gaston!"

Gaston began to stomp to his chair in both his ego and pride to make a point, as LeFou sang the next part with ease. Near the animals likely mentioned for this Bar/Inn/Lounge he killed for decorations.

LeFou: "Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston!"

Gaston then gestured while signing to the head-ornaments with ease.

Gaston: "I use the antlers in all my decorating!"

All: "My what a guy, Gaston!"

While they sang, the three men wanted more revenge to LeFou, picked him up with ease as he also at the same time, began to try and get away with no success as they now carried the poor little-man in a chair the crowd now carried and then was pinned underneath.

However if music was playing at this point, it would be cut-off as Maurice to make the Triplets, and the two children look to be more surprised then the crowd, as he came in the area, franticly, to make the five secretly concerned at this; especially since he began to yell for aid. "Help! Someone help me!" The barkeep however was both astounded yet confused as he knew him personally thanks to Belle, and knew if he was this frantic, it must be serious. Yet he still stated Belle's and Morgana's father's name in a questionable tone, "Maurice?"

"Please I need your help, He's got her- Them both, and he got her locked in a dungeon!" Maurice stated in frantic movements to everyone as LeFou who was curious as to what he meant, stated in a question to make the old man look to him within moments, "Who?" Gaston though thought it was slightly amusing yet he suddenly gotten serious as the name Maurice mentioned; yet didn't like the name of the brat that fears him being mentioned as well. "Belle and Morgana; We must go, not a minute to lose!" Maurice however to a not-so-unknown secret agreement; Gaston and Cassie, gently shook LeFou comically slightly to get a point across. Yet he still went from person to person, until he was thrown to Gaston's feet.

Gaston as he decided enough was enough, from his words, the crowd and Maurice looked to him with hope now in the old man's eyes at Gaston with him also looking to take this seriously, "Whoa! Calm down Maurice. Who's got Belle locked in a dungeon?"

This however concerned Cassie in which her half-brother saw, fully knowing his sister also could know if someone was lying somehow, and as she gathered her coat like him within moments; the Triplets briefly confused yet they decided to go with them while wanting to hang-out still with Gaston, got ready yet they froze by what the old man stated next. "A beast! A horrible, monstrous beast!" Maurice also gestured it to make the crowd now not believe him as they all laughed, more-so the Old Cronies; except the Triplets, and the two children.

However seeing an opportunity; not seeing the kids now leaving, to confuse Daisy even further with her triplet sisters as well, began to tease the old man at his imagination now. "Is it a big beast?" The first of three stated to the old man; with him going to them while quickly nodding with hope still in his eyes as Maurice thought they might be able to help his children, while the taller crony; the first, made himself tall to prove a point with his coat open slightly, "Huge!"

The second now stated to further this on with him holding his nose and lips to the now empty mug in his hand, and showed his mouth was bigger due to the bottom of the glass-mug, "With a long, ugly snout?" "Hideously ugly," Maurice quickly agreed with that man while the last as Maurice was slightly near Gaston who thought he was crazy at the moment, just listened, "And sharp, cruel fangs?"

"Yes, Yes. Will you help me?" Maurice finally asked the crowd with hope they heard in his voice. Yet Gaston decided to humor the old man with fake-hope and stated to make him now looked relieved to know Maurice believed the hunter, "Alright old man. We'll help you out." The three cronies however saw another opportunity as they quickly grabbed Maurice while he stated with hope in his eyes; not realizing like the barkeep and the remaining triplets that they clearly knew he was being tossed-outside. "You will? Oh thank you, thank you!"

Maurice however gasped aloud while he was tossed outside, the two kids and Daisy gasping slightly in minor shock that they would do that to Belle's father.

Inside however, the tall crony now stated in amusement more-so to himself; not realizing Gaston was listening in at his words, "Crazy Old Maurice. He's always good for a laugh!" Now however, Gaston began to be pensive as he also muttered to himself while sitting in his chair still, "Crazy Old Maurice, hmm? Crazy Old Maurice, hmm?" LeFou as he was now nearby Gaston; with Gaston now stating in a song now to LeFou yet was amused as LeFou was crawling on the ground underneath a chair once again.

Gaston: "LeFou, I'm afraid I have been thinking."

LeFou: "A dangerous pastime-"

Gaston: "I know. BUT that wacky Old Coot is Belle's father."

He then let LeFou since he knew his sidekick would agree with him easily at his brainstormed idea, and continued singing it to him. While Gaston also gestured; a so-so based hand gesture, at the end of his sing-based words.

Gaston: "And his sanity's only so-so. Now the wheels have been turning, since I looked at that loony old man."

Gaston then pounded his chest briefly in determination now in his eyes, while also state-singing to LeFou still.

Gaston: "See I promised myself I'd be married to Belle, and right now I'm evolving a plan!"

Gaston now picked LeFou up and began whispering said plan into his ear and within moments, LeFou's eyes widen at how brilliant it was yet he state-singed to Gaston however while doing so, with Gaston in turn, also doing it back.

Gaston: "If I… (whisper)"

LeFou: "Yes?

Gaston: "Then I… (whisper)"

LeFou: "No, would she?"

Gaston: "(Whispering)…. GUESS!"

Now to the minor confusion of the entire crowd, they began to waltz in sudden excitement yet decided to be jolly once again as singing they can tell, continued as they were mostly either drunk or too merry at the moment to realize it was a plan-based-dance of eagerness between the two men.

Both Gaston and LeFou: "No one plots like Gaston, takes cheap shots like Gaston!"

LeFou: "Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston!"

While they were singing on the outside, the kids heard this and widened their eyes as they knew most of the adults were not truly thinking at the moment, and went after Maurice; with Daisy and her sisters following them. With the three sisters knowing that if they were to try and ask forgiveness from Morgana still, they were best off on helping her father; Maurice.

Maurice began to head home and prepare more-so himself to venture out in the woods once again, alone, as he trekked to his house by taking the longer path; due to his frantic mind mixed in as well.

All: "So his marriage we soon will be celebrating! My what a guy, Gaston!"

Back within the room currently holding both Belle and Morgana; The Castle's East Wing Guest Room:

Belle now sadly sighed to herself as Morgana despite the situation, now fell asleep within Belle's arms. Currently still, Belle was saddened by what has transpired only recently, but knew she had to be the responsible one at the moment for Morgana's sake, especially if she is sick. Yet why did my little sister have to tell me about him in the first place? Belle sadly thought while gently brushing her adoptive sibling's hair with ease. Not knowing which person Morgana was referring to however.

A while back, Morgana told Belle of two certain nightmares she has always had at most times; in clear vision to make Belle herself, horrified at: The first to where her former relative in secret; from her former aunt, when she was younger; to at least three years old in a drunken-state... her uncle raped her within their own personal bedroom, despite all her struggles. The other sadly however, was the somewhat confusing yet clear-crystal way of her mother dying to a snake pale-faced male in a black cloak, with red eyes; with a strange stick that killed her to Belle, and eventually Maurice's confused yet sadly understood nod when told by Morgana; since it was her biological mother that was the victim. Sometimes it was also a armored male of sorts with amber eyes that took her mother, and burned her while oddly holding a light-blue orb from her burning body.

Yet unknown to the two, Morgana's dream about her former uncle, was in-fact a blocked memory due to someone else that hates both Dumbledore, and her being a champion as he simply spelled her former uncle to do so as such. The sasme to the other person as in fact, her mind was before being immune, was manipulated to thinking Voldemort ended her mother yet her mind was also slowly fighting back to the truth. However they won't realize that till later-on.

Back to them though, Belle was interrupted from her mere thoughts about her sibling; mixed with the situation she guessed they were now both placed in, from a sudden knocking on the outside of this room's door.

Belle recalling the castle's master or Beast she decided to dub him within her mind now, gently laid Morgana on the bed while also trying to not wake her up as Morgana herself, was recently sleeping for the past twelve minutes, and afterwards, Belle now got up and went to the door.

However to what Belle saw astonished her; once she opened it: a teapot alongside a teacup, and a moving tea-set extras were behind them as the tea-cup and teapot had human-like features, and mostly the kettle was talking to her as well now, "Hello. I'm Mrs. Potts dear, and this is my daughter, Chipana." They both now entered without her permission; including the set as well, yet Belle despite this quickly figured out these might be part of the staff at the castle, was still in shock to what she was still witnessing, "I thought you might want a spot of tea or two to possibly settle your nerves."

Belle though backed-up; not realizing the wardrobe was finally awake after all this time and spoke while getting closer to the female wardrobe; stating in half-shock mixed with bewilderment gently to them, "But you… Ah… But… I-" she then bumped into the mentioned wardrobe while the wardrobe gently yet assuredly stated to assure the girl at the same time, "Oof- Careful young lady."

Belle, still shocked yet was slowly going away now, stated more-so to herself as if she knew it might be a dream slightly yet secretly didn't, as she without them noticing, pinched herself. "This is impossible-" Belle began to state to the three, yet the wardrobe easily leaned from her bulky body onto the railings of the bed; making sure to not disturb the child which failed, and she gently woke up with a sleepy yawn. Though her adoptive sister was not-at-all awake at the moment as Morgana did witness numbly her sister flying briefly, to make Belle also stand-up now from the same bed she was sleeping on, while at the same time also listening to the wardrobe state to her older sister, "I know it is, but here we are!"

"Told ya she was pretty, Mama, didn't I?" Chip stated to her mother while the set poured a few things of milk and sugar into the cup herself. Mrs. Potts merely smiled at her daughter while agreeing with Chipana, yet stated gently to her at the same time, "Alright now Chip, that'll do." Chipana then heads over to Belle as Morgana; after realizing to make Belle confused in secret why her littler sister didn't freak-out slightly like she did, headed over to them without somehow spilling anything, "Slowly now, Don't spill!" Mrs. Potts gently stated to her only child.

Belle seeing this was a kind gesture, with thankfully seeing Morgana was better-looking and sounding from secretly observing her sibling at the same time, decided to be kind and gently stated to Mrs. Potts, "Thank you." Belle then picked up Chipana with Morgana now having a knowing-look mixed with sudden humor on her face now; not seen by Belle of course or the others.

"Want to see me do a trick?" Chipana now suddenly asked within Belle's gentle grip, as before the young woman could state otherwise, Chip then quickly takes in a deep breath while also puffing her cheeks at the same time with her eyes closed, and began to blow bubbles out of the top of her cup-like form.

Despite Morgana lightly giggling at this trick; which secretly made Chipana happy someone enjoyed it, she now suddenly looked guilty as the cup's mother now stated admonishingly to her, "Chipana!" "Oops, sorry," Chip then stated in apology, in which Mrs. Potts also nodded in wordless approval within moments. However, Morgana now saw Mrs. Potts looked to her elder sister while stating her in minor pride, making Morgana understood as it was now part of the movie she recalled as such, "That was a very brave thing you did, my dear." The wardrobe also agreed with Mrs. Potts while stating her own words as well, "We all think so."

Morgana however sensed Belle needed some comfort yet she didn't see the surprised look as she now moved, without words, onto her sister's lap and sat in it; with Belle still holding onto Chipana who lightly blushed at Morgana slightly, yet listened onwards to what the others had to say. "But we've lost our father, my dreams, everything…" Belle trailed off in sadness and doubt, with Belle secretly relieved that her little sister's actions soothed her, somewhat.

"Cheer up, child. It'll turn out alright in the end. You'll see." Mrs. Potts gently stated to soothe Belle slightly, yet she now stated to the two since it seems she must have been a mixture of stating while also doing as she suggested, jabbering, "Opps! Look at me, jabbering on, when there's a supper to get on the table." She began to gently hop out of the room while also stating her child's name; which Chipana also easily leaped out of Belle's hand and landed nicely on a nearby pillow before following her mother, looking briefly back shyly yet still excited at a girl around her age to maybe talk-to, "Bye!" The set followed within moments though after the kettle.

Morgana was however curious as she stated before the wardrobe could even say a word now, making her blink to the child in minor surprise as if, she forgot to do so. "Miss, what is your name; If you can please tell us?" Belle however. was slightly proud as her adoptive sister used her manners; despite knowing she already was taught some already before her arrival, to the wardrobe.

"My I indeed forgot to tell you my entire name, haven't I? That what happens as you are a wardrobe I suppose." She then moved slightly so she was near Belle, but not too close as the wardrobe then gently told Morgana her name; making the child lightly laugh briefly as she waddled like a penguin to move slightly to do so, "My name dearie, is Mrs. Walker, or if your prefer, Frida. Frida Abigail Walker."

Morgana then saw the wardrobe, Frida, now state to the two of them with realization as she, unlike Morgana however; not seeing her sister frown briefly at the cursed servant's words, "Well now, what should we dress you both for dinner? Let's see what I got in my drawers." Morgana this time held in a laugh at Frida's minor embarrassment as moths then came out of her when the doors opened, with her also quickly slamming them shut while stating it to them, "Oh, how embarrassing." Yet it seemed she gotten two dresses easily from one of her doors Frida has, and they both saw one lovely pink dress that might fit Belle with ease, and a jade-one just Morgana's size to which she instantly liked. "Here we are, you both will look ravishing in these two lovely dresses!"

(Now let me stop at the moment here folks; sorry that is. Now understand this as most movies like this one has not shown The Beast's parents at all, but in this tale, you may end-up seeing pictures or in terms back then, a painting of them. Now let's resume shall we?)

Belle then recalled about how rude Beast was within her mind, yet knew from the way Morgana to her half-amusement, lightly growled around her stomach, she must be hungry yet she was as well yet her pride decided for her; to what Belle now stated to Mrs. Walker, kindly that is, "That's very kind of you, but I'm not going to dinner." Belle then gently stated afterwards to stop the wardrobe before blinking in understanding, with Belle standing and also aiding Morgana to her feet, "But maybe my sister is."

Despite this, Frida from what Morgana saw, did understand yet still stated to make Belle inwardly sigh yet understood as Mrs. Walker was a mere servant of the castle, "Oh, but you must." However awkward of timing, Cogsworth Morgana knew, finally came into the room in a waddle while also stating in hidden hope she knew as from what Morgana knew as well, her older sister was the key to breaking their curse. "Ahem, ahem, ahem. Dinner… is served."

Meanwhile at the Master's Den, The Beast was currently pacing on all fours as it was to his mind, taking too long for them both to get here. Lumiere and Mrs. Potts however were on the firemantle watching as their master simply moved back and forth in an angry huff, especially since they sent Cogsworth thirty minutes ago to fetch the two girls.

The room was also set-up for in terms to what Cogsworth mentioned, Diner for three.

"What is taking so long? I told the older girl to be down alongside the child, why aren't they here yet?!" The Beast began to complain yet still is angry at not being patient.

Mrs. Potts however understood from briefly talking to Belle; understood her position and decided to gently state while also defending the two… well mostly the older girl that is, to her master now, "Oh, try to be patient sir, the two girls have lost their father, and possibly their freedom from knowing you decided to do the same to the child as well, in all but one day." Beast merely gave her a look yet also resumed as she was right of course by his actions earlier to the father.

In secret, The Beast felt or more-so needed the child to remain behind, but not out of simply greed due to her jade-emerald like eyes, and looks that resembled not only the older girl, but her mother when young; but more-so to maybe keep the older sibling in-line he felt, but not the slight-protective feeling however he couldn't understand.

He was out of his thoughts suddenly by Lumiere, which he looked quickly towards that is, now stated in minor hope to him, "Uh, Master. Have you thought that, perhaps not the child but maybe the older girl might be the one to break the spell?" The Beast in reply was in anger to the candlestick, looking at him as such, "Of course I have, I'm not a fool."

Lumiere not understanding at all to what his master meant began to state in confidence, gesturing it as well with his candlesticks, "Good. You fall in love with her; she falls in love with you, and - poof! The spell is broken! We'll be human again by midnight!"

Mrs. Potts however now looked to Lumiere in disappointment yet gently stated; to make him understand also, "Oh it's not that easy at all Lumiere, these things truly take time." Though now understanding, Lumiere however reminded the two now; which Beast hoped would never occur yet it is, "But The Rose has already began to wilt." The Beast however disagreed with the kettle, and stated or more-so gestured slightly to his form, with the servants also understanding his position due to the Enchantress so long ago, "It's no use… She's so beautiful, and I'm so… Well, look at me!"

"Oh you must simply let her see past all that." Mrs. Potts now gently suggested to her master, in which he still had doubts they both saw on his furred face with him also stating it, "I don't know how."

Mrs. Potts seeing an opportunity to possibly aid her master, now gently ordered to make him quickly sit-up formally in surprise like she suggested, as she rarely orders as such; her hopping and landing softly on a chair to state this, "Well, you can start by making yourself more presentable. Straighten-up and try to act like a gentleman."

Catching on, Lumiere decided to place his own words of advice to the master now as well as he landed on the table easily, "Ah yes, when she comes in, give her a dashing, debonair smile. Come, come, and show me the smile." The Beast if Morgana was in the room at the moment, would laugh as he now had a fanged yet silly-like grin on his face due to Lumiere's suggestion.

Now near the candlestick, Mrs. Potts decided to add her own words in as well, "But don't frighten them both, especially the older girl." The Beast nodded to the kettle yet looked to Lumiere as he now added, "Shower her with compliments." The Beast however was losing his patients slightly by them adding things a lot until they came to the end as he grabbed his head, "Above all, you must control your temper." They stated together.

The door now creaks open as Beast quickly wipes the silly grin now off his face also, and looks to the door expectedly, yet he was kind of surprised it was Cogsworth to make him briefly mad, yet froze at seeing the little girl who looked slightly nervous since she entered with help by the coat rack; wearing that jade dress that was offered by Mrs. Walker now. Both Lumiere and Mrs. Potts were slightly surprised by this outcome yet wondered where the older girl went-to or worse, why didn't she show.

The child, Morgana or more-so Mary he knew she was dubbed as, now with the aid of the coat rack; due to her feeling slightly better to the three's minor surprise at this as well, was still weak and now sat to where he would be sitting nearby the child, and Belle if she did showed, would of sat in his view.

Despite this outcome slightly, Beast looked to Cogsworth as he froze in place and stated in minor anger; knowing the child might be scared if he roared or shouted at the moment and was also getting looks by both the candlestick and kettle, "Well, where is the older girl?"

Morgana though remained silent, the two servants saw, as they witnessed to their surprise that Cogsworth was somehow... buying time of sorts, while also stating it in hesitance. "Who? Oh! The older girl. Yes, the, ah... Older girl. Well, actually she's in the process of, ah, um, circumstances being what they are, ah…" he now looked inwardly panicked yet stated in finality to make Beast truly angry at this, "She's not coming."

Morgana jumped in fright at how loud he was; also covering her ears and shaking, to make the two servants concerned for the child; The Beast also forgetting his manners at the moment while shouting one angered word, loudly now; in a roar-like voice, "WHAT!" He then took off out of the room quickly with to the surprise of the servants; not knowing it was Morgana's magic doing so, all the food and things were still in place while some objects went alongside The Beast, as they began to chase him down. Most of the objects sticking to the walls.

Mrs. Potts however remained briefly behind and told the coat rack firmly, with it doing a salute to make the child she saw, slightly amused to the coat racks antics, "Stay here until we get back. Knowing the Master, he will be in a mood of sorts." The female kettle then gave a wordless apologetic look as she quickly took off, with Morgana not knowing what to currently do.

The coat rack was apparently waiting on her yet Morgana decided, and if the coat rack would have still had his eyes, would have made a raised eyebrow at her by her curious suggestion, "Do you play games?"

Meanwhile with the three still chasing servants and The Beast, they now made it to the room Morgana and Belle were currently staying together in. Although he ignored his servants' pleas to not be hasty or as such, he still headed to the room all this time anyways.

The Beast now goes to the closed door, and then bangs on it while yelling at the same time, "I thought I told you to come down to dinner!"

Belle as she was on the other side was in both surprise at this outcome, yet now in ire while she also stated from where she was; especially since Belle didn't expect the castle's master to do this, "I'm not hungry, I thought it be better for my sister to eat then me." She also hoped he would understand she was still upset currently about their father not possibly seeing them anymore.

Knowing the outcome now as to why the child was there instead of her, he decided as The Beast was still angry, decided to what Belle merely raised an eyebrow on the other side for a really look, "You'll come out or I'll… I'll break down the door!"

However, Lumiere now decided to interrupt things before they go even worse, making The Beast know they caught-up to him, "Master, I could be wrong, but that may not be the way to win the girl's affections." Beast understood yet also listened to Cogsworth state or added in agreement with the candlestick, pleading as well, "Please! Do attempt to be a gentleman." The Beast though decided; still angry however, to also prove a point by his words in a growl, "But she is being so… difficult!"

However to his sudden ire now, Mrs. Potts decided to make him do most of the work he figured easily while merely stating to him in kindness, "Gently, gently." Dejected, The Beast decided to do as she wanted; knowing most of the time Mrs. Potts was right on things, "Will you come to dinner?"

He was surprised yet quickly frustrated by Belle still saying no, as he gestured to the closed door still with Cogsworth now deciding to help him out, "Suave. Genteel." Now trying to act formal, bowing yet knowing the child's sister wouldn't see him, stated lowly yet in a polite-like tone; despite his anger, "It would give me great pleasure if you would join me for dinner." Cogsworth then stated briefly to him in to aid him further, "Ahem, ahem, we say 'please'."

Dejected again, The Beast decided to do as his clock-servant said, and done so, "Please." Belle however on the other side was angered at him not getting the hint, and stated in anger back to him as well, "No, thank you." Furious now, Beast now stated back to her in anger, "You can't stay in there forever!" Belle however thought he might have been angry, but was out of place as she decides to provoke him now; not seeing Mrs. Walker shaking her head no at her at this, "Yes I can!" Belle however jumped in minor fright as he yelled loudly in a half-roar on the other side while also hearing to what he said, "Fine! Then go ahead and STARVE!"

Beast now looked and gestured to himself, and the closed door at the same time, in an order, "If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all!" The Beast then ran on all fours back down the hall, slamming a door on the way that also caused a piece of the ceiling to fall on Lumiere.

Mrs. Potts decided to be the first one to say anything out of the three of them, "That didn't go well at all, did it." Cogsworth though had other ideas as he now firmly looked to Lumiere, making the candlestick go straight as this was now orders; which he partially disagrees at, "Lumiere, stand guard and watch at the door and inform me at once if there is the slightest change."

Even though in secret he agreed to meet with a feather duster he has always liked, Lumiere saluted while now taking his guard position seriously, "You can count on me, mon capitan." Cogsworth now sighed and stated sadly as he too like they were, was hoping things were to go well tonight, "Well, I guess we better go downstairs and start on cleaning up." Unknown to the three servant-objects, a pair of green eyes concealed once again in an invisibility spell of sorts, looked to the room before moving onward in the castle to possibly play pranks on the staff or maybe… talk to The Beast himself.

A few minutes later within the West Wing, where The Beast lives, was destroyed or still-working furniture, and a torn-painting nearby of what he would of looked like if he was wasn't cursed currently still. There was however, floating within a glass-vase of sorts or a dome on top of a crystalline-like table, a single yet enchanted rose that is part of the reason why they were cursed in the first place; a few petals already on the table itself.

Beast now marches into his huge room while in anger to not only Belle, but refusing his offer on eating; knocking as well as destroying mostly some objects that weren't sentient over in the process, "I ask nicely, but she refuses. What a… What does she want me to do- Beg?" Heading over to the rose, he picked up a mirror that was also his only viewing of the outside world at most times that the Enchantress pettily left behind to make him half-suffer even more, fully knowing his looks will never allow him to truly be among humans currently still.

"Show me the girl." The Beast stated firmly to the mirror, yet he was however confused as a question-mark showed within the mirror itself; groaning to himself at this and stated once again to now see whom he wanted, "Show me the older girl." The mirror now shows both Mrs. Walker pleading her case about him, he figured while the older girl… Belle he recalled the girl muttering a while ago to a nightmare of all things, which was also odd in itself; their voices also echoing slightly due to the enchantment on the mirror itself, "Why the Master's not so bad once you get to know him. Why don't you give him a chance?"

The Beast however became saddened and mostly little hope now as to what Belle stated, with her looking disturbed probably as to what occurred between the two, "I don't want to get to know him. I don't want to have anything to do with him."

The Beast then gently sat the mirror down now and stated tenderly to himself while doing so, "I'm just fooling around myself. She'll never see me as anything… but a monster." However at the end of his words a petal then gently fell onto the table to make the count up-to three petals now, "Beast now in a depressed state with his hands to his head, stated merely two words to himself at this, "Its hopeless."

The mirror to his sudden yet half-surprise, glowed partially, and showed the child to his confusion still at the location, the den that is; that Morgana has been this entire time. Getting a curious look now, he saw to make him half-amused slightly that Morgana was playing to his surprise, Chess, with his coat rack; with her winning. Yet he regretted as she also ate some soup slightly that wasn't filling he knew, from what he was also seeing at the same time.

"The innocence of children is always… fascinating, isn't it, Beast?" Stated a male voice that tensed the mentioned person up, and quickly turned to make him blink in shock at seeing a green and silver-garbed male with black hair and different-colored green eyes then the child, in a tuxedo in all, now giving him a pointed yet amused look as well.

The Beast however narrowed his eyes at him while standing in-front of the rose while also stating firmly, in slow-growing anger, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" To Beast's surprise however, the man merely chuckled at him as if he wasn't that powerful, and stated in half-humor yet saw a half-serious mixed with humor look on the man's face, also making his eyes widen at who he mentioned, "Why I am partially here for a few things: Checking-up on my… Champion like a few others secretly have, and possibly have a little chit-chat with you, Prince Adam Manwell Stormsong."

This froze Beast over as no one besides his servants has stated his full name, rarely that is, and narrowed his eyes once again and stated firmly; despite Beast still slightly shocked the man before him truly knew who he was, "Who are you?" Beast was also curious as to what he meant by the child being his Champion, as well as others.

To his all-knowing that this person was powerful in magic, he fixed a nearby chair Beast recently destroyed with a simple wave of his hand, and sat in it easily while stating firmly in a better-listen tone, "I am not one to be trifled with, cursed mortal. I however will come by from time to time to possibly check-up on the child and to see if her best interests… are at heart, if you get my meaning; Like a few others."

Seeing that this man; despite him not yet revealing his name, he; The Beast himself, didn't want to fight with at all, merely nodded his head as a pleased smile now graced this man's features while also stating in finality; getting up as a result, "Good."

He playfully gestured to the chair to Beast's surprise at the gift, "I figured you may want a chair that wouldn't be able to be torn as such, from your cursed actions. So considered that a gift to hosting My Champion under your wing and care. Do note however," The Beast was suddenly on the floor; lightly gasping in surprise at how powerful of magic he quickly sent-out to him as he was now on his knees; thankfully away from the vase that contained the rose to not damage it, "If you harm the child as those few mortals have done back at her own world, then you will suffer even more-so than your curse can allow, am I clear?"

The Beast nodded within moments in animal-submission due to his curse yet was now pondering to what he meant from 'her own world', yet stayed silent as the pressure the man gave off, suddenly subsided to make Beast now shakily stand with an approval nod from the man, yet also froze as he bestowed a name to now make him wary as he from what he read, thought to him as mere folklore, not in-fact, real. "Before I part, do know as you asked my name, cursed mortal, is Loki… Farewell till next we meet." He then vanished without anything more to add or say; leaving an ice-like mist behind before that too vanished.

Beast now wary as he approached the chair, tapped it and backed away expecting a prank or worse at him, yet was within moments relieved as it was an ordinary, yet special chair he realized that to his surprise, fixed itself after he unknowingly torn it slightly from the left-armrest. Knowing that kind of god, his words must be truthful. The Beast briefly thought to himself as he still saw that the child was still playing with the coat rack, yet yawned knowing she might be still tired due to her being sick, now decided to perhaps knowing both females might be content slightly, to remain in his room for now.

Meanwhile with Morgana, she now was bored; despite her being tired slightly still yet was still well-rested due to how-long she slept, played the ninth game of chess, and wining once again as she now playfully glared at the coat rack, "Are you letting me win?"

To her hidden amusement, the coat rack quickly motioned a no, with to what he; she thinks the coat rack is a male, with his rack-arms.

Shrugging, Morgana was about to set the game-up again; despite her hunger detailing to the coat rack despite the soup, she was indeed maybe hungry still, the door once again opened and Morgana looked to see the now surprised objects: Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, and Cogsworth, looking at her in surprise while Cogsworth stated for them all in both surprise and confusion more-so to himself, "You're still here?"

Confused, Morgana tilted her head cutely; unknown to her that is at the clock as she also stated it as well; to make Cogsworth sheepish slightly, "Am I supposed to still be here?" The three servant-objects now waddled/hopped into the room while also climbing things and were now on the table before stating anything else, "Well… We all figured you would be back with your older sister, then remain here mademoiselle." Lumiere easily stated to the child.

Shrugging while giving a yawn and yet, her stomach growled lightly to amuse the servants; fully knowing this feast was mostly an introductory one then a true one for the guests within the castle, per orders of their master that is; Morgana's face tinted lightly at this.

"Well, why don't we get you fed still as perhaps you getting over your sickness you gained while outside," Mrs. Potts lightly suggested with the coat rack detecting the kettle's words, aided Morgana and the five then began to head-out of the room while Cogsworth to her surprise talked to a few knight-armors nearby to possibly clean the little mess up that was in the den.

They then headed to the kitchen, with Lumiere stating he was going back to his guard post to make Morgana raise an eyebrow at this; realizing Belle must have argued with The Beast like she thought and remained back in their room, decided to let her be for now and went with Mrs. Potts and Cogsworth to the kitchen.

Unknown to the four now; since the coat rack kept helping Morgana walk with ease to the location, a pair of approval-like eyes hidden in the shadows knew from what her sister states, her interference might be coming-up soon as they recently found-out a twin to a certain fay-witch heard of her future-mistress, and sent something eventually to test her or worse.

The shadowy-like figure with red-eyes now vanished.

Well guys here is chapter three, so I hoped you like it as I tried to keep it in the same plot-line with a few of my own twists. So if you are wondering, yes, Morgana will be tested from time to time not by the villains that has sudden interest of her; those that are bad that is then the ones she would eventually get to know or possibly, learn from (gasp, yes I did state that), but a few things I would like to mention, but not spoil it for you, the readers/users/guests as such.

If your also curious if the Triplets and the two Sundale children; Cassie and Will that is, might be more-involved, then yes as Loki himself might lead them to the castle and they end-up in the same predicament. So like I said earlier in my last chapter to this fic, this will be mostly the same with a slight AUish touch.

So do expect the next chapter in a while as after that, I will indeed be working on another Pinkie Story chapter and followed by whatever I stated in my profile as such guys.

So with that, till you guys see the next upcoming chapter, peace!
