"Lets forget about Gaston for a minute and focus on the girl you have in that jail cell," Mrs. Pott said, walking up to the beast. "You cant keep her down there in that cold cell, she's a woman, give her a room!"
"Why must I do that?" The beast asked, irritated that he's going to have another person live in his castle.
"Like I said, she's a young woman...and I don't think Gaston would like to find out that you are keeping a woman in a jail cell,"
The beast got quiet, and just stared at Ms. Pott. He began to think about what Gaston's reaction would be. 'Would he get mad?' he thought to himself as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"...Fine," the beast grunted, while leaving the room in annoyance.
"Thank you Adam," thanked Ms. Pott as she walked to the kitchen, with a grin on her face.
The beast walked to the dungeon, irritated that he had to give the woman a room. When he reached the jail cell, he saw Belle near the window crying her eyes out.
When she noticed the beast, she wiped her tears away, and said, "You didn't even let me say goodbye, I'll never see him again, I didn't say goodbye." She covered her face, with her hands. Proceeding to cry.
The Beast, obviously could care less about her grief, said "I'll show you to your room,"
"My room? But I though-"
"Do you wanna stay here?" he asked.
"NO.."
"Then follow me," Belle followed the beast to the third floor, everything she saw, frightened her. The beast led her to a room. "This will be your room, if you need anything, ask the servants." Before he left the room, he asked her, "Your name is Belle...Right?"
"Yes,"
'So she's the so called, Belle,' the beast thought as he growled a little. "Don't you dare leave this room, EVER," He roared, slamming the door, leaving Belle alone in the room.
He walked, furiously to his living room, wincing at the pain he was giving himself. He had almost forgotten that he was still injured. He slowly walked to his couch, and sat down.
"So...I'm the one who shot you?" The beast jumped when he heard Gaston's voice across the room.
"Yeah...Who told you?" the beast asked, looking away as his heart began to run a mile.
"Lumiere told me," Gaston said as he began to walk toward the beast. "He told me about how I shot you and how I ended up here...I'm sorry I cause you a lot of pain," Gaston apologized as he sat on the couches arm. He placed his hand on the beast head and scratched it as if he were to be a cat. The beast tensed up but relaxed at Gaston's touch.
'He's soft,' Gaston thought as butterflies began to fly around his stomach. The beast was strangely soft and very fluffy. Gaston smirk as the beast purred in pleasure.

The beast cuddled up against Gaston's arm, making Gaston's heart skip a beat. 'What's happening to me?' he thought to himself as he felt the beast pull away. "Don't touch me," the beast said as he stood up and quickly left the room. Gaston, having no idea how to react, followed the him.
"Do you need help with anything?" Gaston asked, trying to catch up with the beast.
"No, I'm fine-" The beast flinched as he came to a stop. He leaned against the wall, trying to sustain himself up.
"Are you alright?" Gaston asked, standing at the beat side.
"Its nothing-"
"Now, don't lie, Master," Lumiere said, grinning at Gaston and the Beast. Probably thinking he should give a helping hand to Gaston. "You're still in pain. Gaston, please help him to his room,"
"I don't need help," The beast said as he groaned at the pain.
"...You were saying?" Lumiere chuckled, almost in a mocking way. "Gaston, would you please?"
Gaston nodded, and put the beast arm, over his shoulder. "Where's his room?" Gaston asked.
"Just follow me," Lumiere said, leading the way.
Gaston placed the beast on his bed, ever so gently. "Now, I'm going to tell Mrs. Pott to bring you some tea," Lumiere said, leaving the room.
"Why did you stay?" the beast suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" Gaston asked.
"You just found out that I caused you to lose your memory, but you're still here...Why didn't you leave when you had the chance?" the beast asked as he looked at Gaston with questioning eyes.
Gaston found this as an opportunity to make a move, "...Well, I don't really know...I guess a part of me just doesn't want to leave here," Gaston said, sitting next to the beast. "I guess there's something holding me back" Gaston said, starring at the beast eyes.
Th e heart begun to race.

"...I wonder what's holding me back..." Gaston said, placing his hand onAdamscheek.
"...What are you-" the beast was interrupted when he heard the door open. It was Ms. Pott with her son Chip. Gaston pulled his hand away before she could notice what he was doing.
"Hello, Gaston, feeling any better?" Ms. Pott asked, carefully hopping on the bed, trying not to spill the tea inside her.
"Yeah, kind off,"
