Sapphire ran past the clock Pearl and candleholder Amethyst and flees out of the castle. "Promised or not, I can´t stay longer in there!" Sapphire said to herself. She finds her horse, Philippe, and rides into the dark woods through the snow. Unitl they meet a packof wild and hungry wolves. The horse stands scared still and throws Sapphire from the wanted to help him but before she could do anything the wolves ran with loud growls to wanted to run away but instead she stumbled over something and was laying on the ground. She closed her eyes but Suddendly she hears a loud roar. "Could it be?" She thinks. Sapphire opens her eyes and sees the beast fighting the wolves. As Sapphire was about to stand up, the wolves attacked Ruby. As Sapphire stood up, the wolves jumped on Ruby again but she just throw them with all her strength off. The surprised and scared wolves ran away into the woods. As the wolves were gone Ruby falled wounded on the ground. Sapphire knew she could escape now but instead she ran over to her and helped her getting back to the castle.
Meanwhile in the villige, Jasper planned to bring Greg, Sapphire´s father, to the madhouse if Sapphire´s not going to be her wife.
In the castle the beast was sitting on her armchair while Sapphire apply a bandage on her arm. It was silent for some minutes until Sapphire decided to thank her. "Thank you for saving me out there" She said to her. Ruby looked at her and nods. "There we go" Sapphire said as she finished and smiles at the beast. "Come with me I want to show you something" Ruby said and brings Sapphire to a huge door. "Now close your eyes!" The beast said but in a kinda friendly tone. Sapphire smiles and closes her eyes. The beast opens the door and leads her inside. "Now open them!" Ruby said and Sapphire did what she said. As she opened her eyes she was amazed. " Wow! I´ve never seen soo many books in my whole life!" She said happily and twist around the huge libriary. "You like it? Then it´ll be yours" Ruby said and smiles weak. "Really? Wow! Thanks!" Sapphire said and goes over to Ruby to hug her. In this moment Sapphire realized, that Ruby means well with her. She began to like this side of Ruby. All the servants in the castle had some hope that Sapphire and Ruby would fall in love.
In time the mood in the castle changes. Sapphire and Ruby were reading together, eating togehter and played together in the snow. They even organized a huge snowball fight. As Sapphire watched how the tall,clumsy and hairy beast tried to feed some birds, she realized that Ruby also had a nice, gentle and kind side - it was something she never noticed before. Meanwhile Ruby began to hope that Sapphire would actually like her.
