Chapter 10: To Break It…

Later that day, I was sitting in the West Wing, looking out the window. I was singing softly, "She glanced this way… I thought I saw…" Then, a bird flew down on the edge of the balcony and stared at me. I smiled at him, and he tweeted the tune I was singing. I asked him, "Has your wife ever forgotten you?" The bird tweeted, and then I asked, "No? Well, have you ever forgotten everything?" The bird tweeted, and then he tweeted the tune I was singing. I asked laughing, "You want me to keep going?" The bird tweeted with somewhat a smile, and I sang to him, "She glanced this way… I thought I saw… but when she touched…" The bird started tweeting the tune, and he flew on my finger. I continued along with the bird, "She didn't shudder at my paw… no it can't be… I'll just ignore… but then she's never looked at me that way… before…" I laughed at the bird, and he chirped at me-which sounded like a compliment to my singing. He pecked at my finger, and I chuckled, "Ow… that hurt." He chirped at me, and I said, "Send love to Belle for me." The bird gave me a nod and then flew away. I chuckled, and then I sighed. I started humming the tune, and I continued to stare out the balcony. Then, the enchantress who turned me into a beast appeared.

I stood up, and I started breathing heavily. I backed away from her, and she said, "Adam, don't be afraid. I'm here to tell you something." I frowned and asked, "Are you going to turn me or Belle into a beast?" She said, "No… it's about Belle's memory loss." I asked, "What about it? She's going to remember everything tonight." The enchantress said, "No she's not." That's when I got confused, and I gave her a confused look. I asked, "What do you mean? I had a trustable doctor come here a few days back, and he did an experiment on Belle to make her memory come back… I thought he really helped her." The enchantress said, "You've been tricked. That doctor was an imposter." Now I was starting to worry… who was the "doctor" then?

I asked, "What? Who is he then?" The enchantress replied, "He is not really a doctor. He knows absolutely nothing about health. He tricked you. The process he did was a spell. If she doesn't remember by tonight, she will die!" I gasped and said, "No! She can't be under a spell!" The enchantress said, "I'm sorry, but the man did put Belle under a spell. He was jealous of her good looks, so he decided to curse her. There is only one way to help her." I asked immediately, "How?!" I can't believe I got a man who cursed Belle! He didn't help her at all! He made her worse! I have got to fix this by tonight because I want her to live! I said, "This is all my fault! I got a man who didn't help her! I feel so dumb now! How can I fix it?!"

She separated her hands, and lifted them slowly in the air. Then, a light glowed in between her hands. I stared at the light, and I backed away from it. I asked, "What is it?!" She said, "Just watch the light. This will show you the only way to fix it." I stared into the bright, yellow light, and then it showed me as a Beast and Belle in the West Wing before the spell I was under broke. I watched it, and Belle in the light said, "Come back! Please come back! Don't leave me!" I was lying dead on the floor, and then Belle said while crying, "I… I love you." I smiled at the light, and then she kissed my head. The enchantress turned off the light, and I asked, "So… what does she have to do or what do I have to do?" The enchantress said, "First, you have to get her to say, 'I love you', which she has not done yet. Then…" I asked a couple seconds after she said that, "Then, what?"

Then, she raised her hands and showed another light. In the light, it showed me just transforming into a human. When I landed on the ground and looked at myself, I turned around and looked at Belle. We were smiling at each other, and we walked closer to each other. I told the enchantress, "I remember this." She didn't answer me, and then Belle and I put our hands on each other's faces. She looked into my eyes, and she giggled happily. We both smiled widely, and then we leaned in slowly… and kissed each other for a long time. I smiled at the light, and the enchantress turned off the light. I asked, "We have to kiss?" The enchantress said, "Well, yeah, but she has to kiss you. You can't kiss her. This is because you already love her, and she doesn't know. She must kiss you. If you and she break the spell, I promise you that no more spells will be cursed on you or her. I promise that."

I looked at the ground, and I asked, "How can I get her to truly love me by tonight? She only has ten hours until midnight…" The enchantress explained, "Try doing something that was really important to you guys… such as your dance when you were still a beast… that was important right?" I smiled as I thought of the dance. I said, "Of course it was. I can never forget that. By the way, I asked her to the dance. She said yes…" The enchantress said, "Ask her again… maybe she will say yes again. You could break the spell easily there. I'm sure she'll say yes because she's your wife… lost memory or not. I know deep down inside she loves you, but since she is under a spell and her memory is lost, she really… doesn't. It's up to you, Adam." I looked at the enchantress and I gave her a nod.

I told her, "I'm her husband. I will help her." She gave me a nod and then disappeared in the air. I sighed in defeat because I don't know if the dance will work… I'm so scared. I don't want her to die.
