The waves gently crashed onto the sandy beach. Danielle was staring out into the ocean, watching the moonlight reflect off the mirror-like water. She remembered a few times where her family took her to the beach, but the last time became the final time because she almost drowned. Danielle started to flashback to the last time she set foot on the beach.

Her cousins, Sagittarius' kids, decided to break the rules to go and have fun in the water. Danielle didn't want to get in the water because she didn't want the saltwater to ruin her dress and their parents warned them multiple times not to go into the water. The four parents were scared of losing their children to the rising tides. Danielle tried to convince Roxanne and Valiant not to go into the water, but they wouldn't listen. Not only did they go into the water, they dragged Danielle with them. What none of the cousins realized that the tide was rising and no one touch the bottom with their feet. Roxanne and Valiant managed to swim back to shore, but Danielle was struggling. When Sagittarius, Adam, Sapphire and Belle found out, Adam jumped into the water. He came out of the ocean with Danielle in his arms.

The two fathers weren't very happy about what happened. It was also the first time in a very long time that Danielle spoke up to defend herself. When Sagittarius heard that it was his kids who decided to go into the water, he grounded them. Adam was very happy to hear Danielle speaking up for herself...but it didn't last long. When they got home, Danielle went to her room and stayed in bed for the rest of the day. She felt this immense pain in her chest where she didn't want to do anything. In fact, this pain was the same pain she experienced earlier before she fell out of her room.

"Princess." Danielle heard and looked at Gedeon. "Don't get distracted. We have to find the flower." She nodded her head and followed him.

"How are we going to find it?" She asked and Gedeon opened his map again.

"We must look for a green circle." He explained, "The circle is made of special green stones that glow when the moon is at its fullest and in the center of the sky."

"Like tonight?"

"Exactly like tonight." He said, "When we find the circle, you're going to have to dig up the flower."

"Me?" She asked, "Why?"

"You have the muscles for it and you're the one cursed." Gedeon lied. He knew could get the flower out himself, but for his plan to work, Danielle had to get the flower.

"Fine, I'll do the dirty work." Danielle said, "It's bad enough I'm covered in feathers with my bottom being a horse's." Just then, the moon shone a little brighter. Both of them looked up and saw a moonbeam shoot down. It shot down a mile down the shoreline from them. "Is that the spot?"

"Yes, let's go."

"Where did I put it?" Belle said as she rummaged through her and Adam's magic trunk in their room. She and Adam called it their magic trunk because it was filled with their magical items, including the rose that Adam held onto when he was the Beast. "Here it is." She said as she pulled out a very tall white candle.

It was a very special candle given to her and Adam by Lady Temps. Whenever they needed the Empress of the world of magic, all they had to do was light the candle. The candle never shrank down or melted any wax when lit, but it gave off a scent that always attracted Lady Temps. Belle took the candle out of the trunk and placed it on a small table in front of the fireplace. She lit a match and lit the candle. It gave off a purple flame and the scent of grapes and wine.

"My favorite kind of wine is white wine." Belle heard; she turned around and saw Lady Temps, leaning against the wall her bed was pushed against. "It's not too sweet." Lady Temps added as she stood up.

"Forgive me for bothering you, Lady Temps."

"I can already sense that you have a very good reason about it." Lady Temps said, "Besides, I wasn't doing much of anything. Now...what can I do for the Queen?"

"Since you said we don't have to be formal around you," Belle started, "you don't have to be formal around us."

"Fair enough, but I thought I would be nice. Now say it, what's going on?"

"My daughter is missing."

"What happened?" Lady Temps asked as her eyes widened. Belle explained the whole mess on how the guards chased her away because they thought she was some kind of creature. She also explained on how she and her family thought Danielle had transformed into her magical form.

"My mother, Adam, his mother and Rouge are out again tonight searching for her." Belle finished, "I'm stuck here because I got injured last night."

"I can see that." Lady Temps said as she looked at Belle's foot. She then raised her pointed finger and shot a beam of magic at Belle's foot.

"Whoa!" Belle jumped away, but the shot still got her.

"Calm down, all I did was heal your foot." Lady Temps explained; Belle looked down and her foot was no longer bandaged. It didn't hurt either when she put her foot flat on the ground.

"I shouldn't have doubted you."

"I surprised you, so I don't blame you for jumping. There's no rule in the book about cheating when it comes to healing your body."

"No, I suppose not." Belle agreed, "As I said, I didn't mean to bother you, but I couldn't just stay here when my daughter is out there...scared and lost."

"I understand. If I had a child out there, I would want to do something too."

"I just don't know what to do. I appreciate you healing my injury, but I don't even know where to look for her."

"Well, if I had to guess, she would..." Lady Temps stopped her sentence and her face changed...as if she sensed something horrible had happened.

"Lady Temps, what's wrong?" Belle asked, but Lady Temps stayed silent for a minute.

"Cramoisi." She whispered and then a earthquake suddenly happened.
