Chapter 5 Revelations and a continuation of Childhood Sweethearts

Weeks have passed since Rose found out about her parents past and Anna came to the castle. Anna was distant and quiet, she rarely spoke to anyone( she was still uncomfortable to stay in a place where her grandomthers name was spoken with disdain). Vincent remained suspicous, but if Belle trusted her, the least he could do was give her a chance. That is if he ever saw the young enchantress, whenever he'd catch the slightes glimpse of her, she would run away.

The same went for Rose, she still felt so confused about her parents. Why had they never told her this before? What else were they hiding from her? She often time told herself that she couldn't hold it against them forever, but she couldn't help but wonder.

To get things out of her mind, she decided to go to the library to read her favorite copy of Romeo and Juliet. She opened the enormous doors to the library to see Anna Kneeling down on the floor, reading a red leather bound book.

"Hello Anna, It's good to see you".

Startled Anna stood up and made her way to the door, "I'm sorry miss, I was just reading. I leave in a second," she said, rushing past Rose not making any eye contact. Rose grabed her arm and stopped her.

"No, you don't have to leave. And please, you know my name is Rose."

"You mean, you trust me? Your not afraid of me?"

"Yes and no. Makes you think so silly?"

Anna sank down into an arm chair, "Well, your father, I know he still doesn't trust me. Despite what your mother tells him, he's only letting me stay here because of her,".

Rose sat down next to her, " No it isn't that, he just has to get to know you thats all. And it would help if you spent less time locked up in your room".

"I know, it's just. My grandmother has sent me to guard your family, she trusts me with this responsiblity. And everyone here, they give me strange looks, as if they think I am going to do something to put you in danger. And I would never do that".

"It's all just your imagination, everyone here is actually very nice. You just have to give them a chance is all"

"Thank you Rose, it's good to know I have one friend here".

Rose walked over to the book shelf and looked at Anna, She has it harder than I thought, "Anna," she said,"Why do you wear that?"

Anna motioned to her robes and Rose nodded.

"These robes are the mark of an enchantress, the silver colour, means that I have just completed my training." She answered.

"And what about your grandmother, why did she place that spell on my father?"

Anna walked over to the fireplace and stared into the flames, "My grandmother told me the story while I was praticing my trasformation spells. It was to punish your father for being so heartless".

"Did she tell you anything else?"

"Well, she had to stop her tale when I turned my cat into a dwarf."

Rose laughed and Anna joined her, "I know, it took me a weekto change him back!"

The laughter was interrupted when Chip entered the room, "Mademoiselle Anna, pardon the interruption, but the master wishes to see you in the study".

Anna sighed,"Alright, I'll be there in a minute" She turned around but Chip walked up and stood in front of her,

"Please mademoiselle," He began,"Allow me to escort you there, so you won't get lost", he added a chivalrous bow.

Anna rolled her eyes and blushed under her hood, "Thank you monsieur, but I am sure I can get there myself". She muttered a strange incantation as her robes swirled around her and she disappeared from the room. Chip walked over to Rose and handed her a small pink bud from his pocket.

"Do you know what day tomorrow is?"

Rose just looked at him, "Yes, it's my birthday. Thank you for remembering, but you are one day too early"

Chip supressed a sigh, " I know, but your going to spend all day getting ready for the masquerade and the whole night being courted by young and handsome noblemen."

" I know, but if it makes you feel any better, I wont enjoy it. First I will have to wear a corset, so I won't be able to breathe. Then all the noblemen in France are just boring stuck up fops and cads. The day won't end soon enough."

Chip looked at her and said to her jokingly, "Youre right, that does make me feel better".

Rose laughed, "So much for being a gentleman".

Chip said nothing and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll see you at dinner?" he asked.

"You can count on it" Rose answered.

"Fine see you then."

Rose watched as he left the room. There was so much on her mind, but when she was with him she would forget all about what was troubling her. Do I love him?

A/N: Well, thats it. Hope you guys liked it. I'm sorry to say that this will be my last update until Friday, but maybye I might update tomorrow. But don't count on it, I have to cram for geometry. And about my updates, I will only post on the weekends from now on. The week is going to be devoted to homework and school and all that crap. Anyways on to the Reveiws,

"Blank": First of all, What the hell is your name? I don't want to have to type in "Blank" All the time. Glad you liked it. I think I will take your idea about Chip into consideration. Glad you like her! And actually she and Rose will share being the lead role from now on. But I'm thinking about making an "inbetween-quel" to this that focuses on Anna, but I don't want to be working on ten fics at once. Don't worry, the "evil magic" will be revealed soon enough.

Damian: Yeah it is going to be hard for Anna, okay not anymore, but now we get to see the REAL trouble. ;)

lilangelbiggieD: Didn't you get my E-mail? lol.

Nikkibelle18: Sorry if I rushed it. Thank you for putting me on your alert list(I checked my stats).

Shortstef: Thank you for putting me on your alert list. Oh, I feel so loved.

Everybodyelse: REVEIW!

Oh, And I got a treat for all my reveiwers. I was bored today during PE and since we didn't have to dress out, I decided to do some drawing of some of the mew characters from this fic. Right now the only one thats finished is Anna. If you want a peek, hit me up with an E-mail.

Till friday,
