Sebastian was shocked to see me in town. I could tell that he knew that I had already gotten Father out of the asylum and he was not happy that I had out witted him. He would not let on in front of his fellow hunters though.
"Belle, darling, where are you riding off in such a rush? I am right here," he said as smoothly as he could. I did not have time to waste on him, though.
"I am riding off to go save the love of my life. I am not a woman either. I am tired of you trying to convince everyone otherwise and trying to force me to marry you," I shouted. Sebastian's face fell pale as the hunters started to get suspicious.
"She is as mad as her father! You heard him talk about how he said she went off to live with a kind prince!" Sebastian said quickly. I was angry. No one would call my father crazy again.
"He is not crazy! I did go off to live with a kind prince! I am going to him now! He lives in the forest at the fork! I can prove it as well!" I shouted as I pulled out the magic mirror. I asked for it to show me Kurt and after it shimmered, it showed the man I loved and he looked terribly sad. I showed the hunters. Their faces grew in horror and fright. I did not understand what was wrong, until I remembered that to those who did not know Kurt, he was a Beast.
"YOU HAVE BEEN HIDING A BEAST FROM THE VILLAGE? MEN! WE MUST KILL THIS MONSTER BEFORE HE ATTACKS US!" Sebastian shouted, going for his last resort. The hunters quickly agreed and rode back out of the village. My blood ran cold. Their horses were raised to not only be faster than Phillipe, but had more endurance than my horse. They would be at the castle in a few hours while I would be lucky to reach the castle by midday. I kicked Phillipe's sides hard and rode as fast as he could carry me, hoping I would not be too late to save my love.
May I take over?
Of course you may Kurt.
Well as Blaine was riding, I was distraught. I had only a day left to see him and have him tell me he loved me and I assumed if he had not come by now, he did not care enough to come at all. My servants were more optimistic, but no matter how many times Rory, my former carriage driver and now enchanted carriage, offered to take me to Blaine in case something was keeping him, I refused. I was stubborn. It would be that stubbornness that undid me.
It was while I was picking out New Year's decorations to distract me that I heard my castle was under attack. I wondered how these invaders found out my location, but that was another problem to deal with later. I started telling everyone to barricade the door as I made a plan. I started to split everyone into squads as a large portion of my staff stood in front of my doors. We planned for hours, but our blockade held firm. It was nightfall by the time I was sastified. Once I was sure my plan was set, I sent off everyone to their posts as I went upstairs to get more troops. I did not know that Sebastian would follow me.
I was entering the east wing when I heard a voice from behind shout, "YOU STOLE BLAINE FROM ME!" I turned in shock to find a mad Sebastian holding a large sword stolen from off the wall. I sent those around me away and grabbed the other.
"Who are you to say I stole Blaine? As far as I know, Blaine was a person, not a piece of property," I replied as I parries his first attempt to attack. I thanked Samuel for our long sword fighting lessons that I hated so much.
"He is MINE! He is perfect and so beautiful; no one suspects he is a man! I can get away with marrying him and keeping my dignity!" Sebastian said as he made for another attack, parried again. I knew then who I was dealing with.
"You are the man who made Blaine's life hell! He hates you with every fiber of his being! I could never have stolen from you something you never had from the start! He could never love you," I said as I started to make for an attack. I missed and lost my footing. He took advantage and started to force our fight outside in order for me to not be cornered. He forced me out further and once I could go nowhere ore outside, he forced me upwards. I will not lie, fighting while climbing a castle is difficult. It is even more so when the person you are fighting is no longer sane. It was getting darker and harder to see. I was growing more and more afraid for my life as Sebastian refused to give up the fight, not caring for the danger he was placing us both in. I heard a voice from the tower balcony.
"KURT!" Blaine shouted as he ran to the edge of the banister to hold out his hand for me. I was so happy to hear his voice; I turned my back on my opponent. I felt a deep stabbing in my stomach. I doubled over in pain. I turned back and knocked the blade out of Sebastian's hand. I forced myself up and turned back to my love, climbing over to him and to safety. I heard a cracking behind me, but refused to look back. I then heard a scream that fell. I dared to look. Sebastian was falling off the roof. I shouted below for someone to help him. Thankfully for his sake, a few of the chambermaids, Carole, Emma, and Holly, who had been transformed into beds were fighting below. They saw him and caught him at the last moment, though they refused to let him get away.
Once I was sure he was safe, I turned back to Blaine and he helped me up. I gripped my stomach and felt the blood pooling in my hand as I lied down on the balcony. I used my free hand to touch Blaine's cheek. "You came back. I get to see your beautiful face one more time. I can die happily," I whispered. In the distance, I heard the clock chiming midnight. One bong… two….
"No, you do not, because you will live!" Blaine told me. I felt warm wetness fall on my face and knew he was crying. Four…. Five…..
"Blaine… please be happy. That is all I wish… I want your happiness," I breathed, words becoming harder to form. Eight…. Nine…..
"Then stay with me! I can never be happy if the man I love dies. Do you hear me? I love you! I love you Kurt! You have to live!" Blaine begged. Twelve….. The world spun and then faded to black. I at least heard that he loved me…. I loved and love was returned…
Suddenly the world started to become clearer again. The pain was fading. My body felt warmer, lighter. I saw light shining all around the ground. I soon realized the light was coming from me. I felt my claws and paws shrinking into nails, hands, and feet. I felt my fur receding. My horns disappeared and my fangs became teeth. I felt dizzy and at the same time wonderful. I was soon gently placed back on the ground where I saw I was once again human. I fought tears. I was human and Blaine loved me. I turned to him and smiled as the tears won.
"Bl-blaine… you love me. You love me," I said before I kissed him. I wrapped my arms around his frame and held him close. Time stood still. Forever could have passed and I would not have cared. Blaine kissed me back and threw his arms around me as well. Blaine?
Thank you. We finally had to break for air and I rested my head on Kurt's shoulder. I needed to know he was there. I almost believed I was truly mad because I had come so close to losing Kurt and now not only was he alive, but he was human, a terribly handsome human at that. My emotions were all over the place, but I knew I would be perfect as long as Kurt was safe. Servants soon found us and told us they won the fight when the transformation occurred. The congratulated us on finally admitting our feelings. Then, Kurt pulled away. I did not understand why.
"Blaine," he said softly, "I want you to marry me. I know our marriage will not be true by many people's eyes, but I want to be by your side for forever. Please, please be my husband," he asked as he showed me a ring. I was at a loss for words. I simply nodded and he placed the ring on my finger and kissed me once more as everyone cheered.
So friends, family, loved ones, that is why you are here. That is what we asked you to come and see today. We wanted you here to see us become one in love. Now William, I believe you have something to say.
Well, that was the longest story I have ever heard, but yes, Blaine, I do have something to say. By the power vested in me by his royal majesty, the soon-to-be King of France, I now pronounce you man and man. You may kiss your spouse.
I thought you would never ask. Come here King Blaine.
As always, King Kurt.
-They kiss and lived happily ever after-
