Belle fell to the floor and rolled out of the dark cloudy that took her from her "home". Catching her breath she looked around trying to decipher what was in front of her since it was too dark. Hearing a roar Belle quickly got to her feet and ran towards it.
"Beast!? I am here! I have come home!" She looked in the rooms she passed. But it was hard to see anything in them considering how dark the castle was.
Becoming desperate she began to shout his name louder until she stopped at the garden doors. Looking in she looked around for any sign of the beast but she could see nothing. Throwing open the doors she ran in and looked around the daisies, the tulips and finally her gaze landed on the roses.
"No." she whispered, tears coming to her eyes.
"Beast?" she kneeled down by him, looking down at his inert form.
"Mademoiselle."
Belle looked at the servants that were crowded in the corner.
"He's been like that for over two weeks now." Alice looked down at her fallen master.
"Help him Belle. Please."
Belle looked at Chip who was gripping onto Ms. Potts apron. Belle nodded wordlessly and crawled over to him and looked down at him.
"I'm sorry." she whispered cupping his cheek.
"I'm so sorry." she bent down a little more so that her cheek was lying on his chest. She listened for his heart beat.
"I didn't mean to abandon you."
"Belle?"
She looked up at him her eyes glistening with unshed tears.
"Beast?" she said breathlessly scooting up so that she was face to face with him.
"I'm sorry beast. I'm so sorry." she rambled on but stopped when she heard a deep chuckle come from him.
"Belle." the beast swallowed thickly as he tried to keep his conscious.
"It's not your fault." he whispered looking Belle square in the eye.
"How can you say that?" she hiccuped, fresh tears coming to her eyes.
"Because. I am content to die." he cupped her cheek with his large paw.
Belle covered his hand with hers. The beast smiled at her before his hand slipped from her cheek .
"Come on beast." she whispered as she watched him go unconscious.
"It's cold out here." she whispered the last part and looked away from him.
"What do you need us to do mademoiselle?" Lumiere asked stepping forward.
Belle took a deep breath, trying to get her bearing together.
"I. I need you to. To get him up and bring him to the library." she reached over and touched his mane before getting up and letting Cogsworth, Raj, Lumiere and Alice pick him up with a grunt.
She smiled at them appreciatively and let them pass.
"Is he going to be okay?"
Belle looked down at Chip who stood by her with sad eyes. She gave a small smile and bent down kissing the joey on her forehead.
"He will not die." she promised.
Chip nodded and took her mother's hand and followed her to where they had taken their master. Belle took a deep breath and watched them leave, before she followed not sure on how she can help.

Belle continued to read and listen to the pitter patter of the rain outside. It had been a day since she had come back and the beast was still slipping in and out of consciousness. She didn't know if that meant he had a fever or if he was truly sick but she tried to read all of the books that could give her answers. Mrs. Potts said it was him that made the choice, whether he wanted to come back or not and Belle was not fond of that answer. Sighing she continue to read through her latest book trying to keep as much concentration as she could but a soft chuckled roused her from her concentration.
"Always reading."
Belle looked at the beast. First in awe then in happiness. Launching herself from her secure place of the arm chair that was across from him, Belle wrapped her arms around him and began to cry.
"Hey. Hey." the beast cooed rubbing her back.
"Im sorry. Im so sorry." she chanted again and again.
"Belle. It's alright. It's alright." he assured but Belle continued to apologize.
Sighing the beast let her have her moment but when she calmed down he sat up and made her sit on the couch beside him.
"It's okay." he assured again covering her hand.
Belle sighed and looked at their hands.
"How could you be so forgiving?" she shook her head.
"Because it's you." he confessed squeezing her hand lightly.
Belle looked up at him and she smiled letting out a small giggle. The beast looked down thankful for the fact that no one could see him blush.
"Belle."
"Yes?" she scooted closer to him as he looked up at her.
"I."
"Yes?' she prodded squeezing his hand.
'Just tell her.' he chided himself.
Taking a deep breath the beast looked her square in the eyes.
"Belle. I-"
"MASTER!"
The two fell apart and scooted away from each other not aware of how close they were before.
"Oh master!" chip came hopping in and hopped onto the couch and latched on to the beast.
Mrs. Potts looked at her appalled as did everyone else but all Belle could do was laugh.

As the beast got better, he and Belle became almost inseparable. They ate together, they read and played whatever games came to mind.
Today they sat in the garden watching the clouds trying to name what they all look like.
"No way. That looks like duck." the beast chuckled pointing to the cloud to his left.
"Not uh. It's a bird."
"No that's a bird." he pointed to the cloud in front of him.
Belle got up to look at it closer and realized that it did look like a bird.
"Okay." she mumbled as she laid back down on the grass.
"You win." she giggled turning to her side.
The beast chuckled and turned to his side as well. The two looked at each other with a smile not saying a word.
"Are you happy here?" he asked suddenly.
Belle smiled and reached out stroking his fur.
"Very." she smiled.
The beast smiled and caught her hand mid stroke. Belle didn't flinch at the touch but instead moved closer to him and the beast didn't back away.
"Belle."
"Beast."
They both said at the same time. Laughing under their breath they looked down and away.
"You go first." Belle offered looking back at him.
Before he could speak, Mrs. Potts came hopping in a manner of great urgency calling their names in a panicked voice. Belle was the first to get up followed by a very annoyed beast.
"What's wrong Mrs. Potts?" she asked meeting the kangaroo half way.
"Your. Your family. They are here and very impatient and-" she looked around to the beast explaining how she tried to stop them but they pushed through.
Belle felt her heart speed up at the mention of her family and went to go see them. As she came into the hallway she heard loud voices coming from the dining room. Quickly she went in and found her father and brother in law arguing with Raj and her sisters arguing with Alice.
"What are you doing here?" she said loud enough for everyone to stop their bickering.
"Belle!" Vera ran towards her with open arms expecting a hug but Belle stepped back from her.
"Belle?" Vera said a hurt tone in her voice.
"Why are you here?"
"See! SEE! He's made her his foolish puppet." her father pointed at Belle.
Belle looked at him and swallowed trying to think of something else to say to her horrid family.
"Why. Are. You. Here?" she stressed out each word and walked to her father.
Just then the beast came in and seeing her family he began to growl. Her family freezed at his presence but Belle was the only one to move and walk up to him assuring him and that she could handle it.
"It's okay." she nodded looking up at him a small smile on her face.
The beast took a deep breath and nodded but took her hand in his. Belle smiled and looked down at their hands but her father interrupted the sweet moment.
"Belle you are coming home."
Belle looked down and took a deep breath before turning to her father with the beasts arm wrapped around her.
"No."
Her father became livid and became to stomp to her but the growl that came from the beast stopped him in his tracks.
"I will go no where with you father." she further explained.
"But Belle. We're your family." Vera walked over to her father so that she was face to face with her sister.
"No Vera. No." she said sadly.
"And who is he?! Some beast who thinks he can love but you know he can't!" Alice shouted at her.
"Well i love him!" she retorted.
"And that will be enough for us!"
Alice glared at Belle but Belle didnt budge.
"You. Love me?"
Belle turned to the beast a smile on her face.
"Yes. I do." she nodded cupping his cheek.
As her hand touched his cheek the beast had a light encase him and Belle stepped back confused. In his place stood a handsome young man.
"It can't be." Alices eyes widened and immediately she fell to the floor in an unneeded bow as did the rest of her family.
Belle looked around confused as Mrs. Potts, Alice quickly walked out the room, but not in animal form.
"Belle you idiot, what are you doing?"
Belle looked to her father who was looking at her.
"I dont understand." she looked at the man who had a smile on his face.
"Who is he?" she stared at him and his smile got bigger.
"It's me Belle." he smiled stepping towards her.
"What?" she took a step back from him.
The man stopped and sighed and decided to try another tactic.
"Ask me anything. Something that your beast would know. "
Belle blinked and thought about it trying to think of something.
"What were the flowerbeds that i found you in?"
"The roses."
Belle licked her lips nervously and took a step forward. He did not move as she came closer to him which she was thankful for. Reaching a hand up she traced his facial features.
"But how?"
The man chuckled and gently grasped her hand.
"When i came to the throne. I only wanted power and wealth i never believed in love. So i was forced to take the form of a hideous beast in hopes a woman such as yourself could come to love me."
Belle blinked and looked at their entwined hands.
"I. I."
"Surely if you loved that beast you could love me." He chuckled.
"I. I do. Of course i do." she assured.
The man smiled and kissed her knuckles before he turned them to face her family that was still on the floor.
"Now what to do with them." he scanned them but Belle interferes speaking on their behalf.
"They locked you in a basement." he challenged making Belle grimace.
"They did. But. They had the right intentions. They just did it wrong." she looked at them with sympathetic eyes.
The man sighed and agreed. Telling them to get up he explained to them what would happen if they ever crossed him or her again. Of the family agreed and quickly said goodbye not wanting to anger the man more. Belle gave a small smile as they all left sad that they were leaving but she knew she could visit them.
"Are you alright?" The man asked looking down at her.
Belle laughed and shook her head looking up at him.
"I just remembered i don't know your name."
