20.) Balcony
Story: Belle and Her Beast
Word Count: 225
Belle walked out to the balcony with her beastly friend and companion. She had brunette hair, hazel eyes, and a fair face. The gown she wore tonight was yellow and grand, like a ballgown should be. Here she was with her Beast, talking to him, enjoying this moment. She sighed, knowing that all was complete, but someone was missing.
Her father.
She didn't know how long she had been away from home. She missed him. Maurice was the one who looked after her, tucked her in at night when she was little, taught her how to read and write so that she could teach others to do the same. It was this love that kept her strong, kept her going.
"I'll show you a way to see your father," the Beast said, kindly. He brought her to his chamber, with its broken furniture, a drawn back curtain, and a table where a magic mirror and an enchanted rose stood. The Beast presented her with the mirror. Belle took it, asking for her father. She found him in the woods. Oh no!
She had to go after him! The Beast understood. He let her go. She thanked him, knowing he had truly changed. She would miss him, hoping she would see him again, not knowing that she would, and the Enchantress' spell would break that evening.
