A/N Hey there you groovy readers! Sorry if I didn't reply to anyone's reviews, I was in Ireland in an Internet café and didn't have all that much time!

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a rocking New Year, and if you don't celebrate either, hope you've been having a nice time since the last update!

On with the craziness that appears in my mind:

Calla hid the ingredients in the back of her mahogany wardrobe. She wasn't sure if there was much point seeing as this was a magic castle, and Kairos would probably already know she had taken them, but she had to try. The logical part of her mind told her this was stupid, that the spell would go wrong, that something bad might happen, or nothing at all. But the part of her mind that had seemed to be in control recently told her that she had to try. Somehow Beast had made her feel better, even though it had made him feel worse at the same time, and she had to try to repay the favour.

There was a knock on the door and she looked round, startled. She quickly shut the wardrobe doors and stood in front of them.

"Come in," she said, smiling what she knew must be the most guilty looking smile in the world.

"Excuse me miss, but lunch is served," A small servant, who looked hardly older than herself said, coming into the room with a small curtsey.

"Ok, thanks, I mean thank you." the maid curtsied again and retreated from the room. Calla breathed a sigh of relief then dashed after her. "Oh, sorry, but could you show me the way to the dinging room... Hall... erm... the place of eating?"

The maid looked a little confused, but then she said, "of course miss."

Calla followed the girl down the twisty corridors of the old castle. It felt like a labyrinth, everywhere changed as soon as she'd left it behind. But then maybe it didn't. Maybe, and this was a lot more likely, she just had a really bad sense of direction.

She tried a few times to start a conversation, but considering the maid's biggest to reply was to shyly shrug, she guessed the servants weren't meant to mix with her or Beast.

"Where's A... Beast?" She asked as they entered the dining hall.

"It wasn't my duty to inform him of lunch," the maid said simply, before walking off. Calla was left to eat at the long table alone.

As she left the dining hall she had two choice to take. Left or right. To go and see Beast, or to go back to her room and try the spell. She turned to her room. Whether that was the right decision or not she couldn't tell.

She decided to take the ingredients into her private bathroom, that way if anyone came in through the locked door she would hear them, and she would have a little more of a chance to hide her spell work. She opened the book, and again it opened on the right page for the spell. Surely this was a sign she was meant to try it. However signs don't always point in the right direction. She mixed the called for ingredients in the sink, stirring them with her hand. Finally, as she left the room, she had a sink full of bluey green liquid. There was only two more ingredients. The first was a hair from her head, and the second was a hair from Adam. They both needed to be added at the same time, under the night sky. So it looked like she was going to see Adam after all.

Adam was still lying on his bed when she entered his room. He was feeling a bit better though, and he tried to raise his head and smile as she came in. Unfortunately this looked more like he was bearing his teeth, however Calla got the point.

"Calla, hey, how are you?"

"I'm fine now, unlike you it seems. I'm so sorry,"

"It wasn't your fault. Besides, I probably just need a rest, that's what my Mom always says anyway," he looked down again. That really was the last thing he needed to do to himself, but as soon as he had hit upon the subject he couldn't help but wonder... How was his Mom? Was she worried about him? And what about his Dad, the guy who had put him here.

Calla paused, then tried to change the subject, knowing he was probably thinking about his parents. And she had to admit it was hard not to think about hers, "So, what have you been doing all day? Just lazing? Wow, you really are lazy aren't you!"

"Shut-up," he said, with out much conviction, but he did look a little brighter.

"Ok, so what are we going to do tomorrow?" Truthfully, she didn't really care what he answered, she was looking around the room for the final ingredient. The bed was probably where she was most likely to find it. So she flopped down beside him and felt her hand over the pillow until she found one thick hair.

"I don't know... trying to break the curse I guess, the sooner we do, the sooner we can get back to our old lives. I guess you have a boyfriend and parents and friends all waiting for you after your martyr mission don't you?"

"I... no actually," she gave a small laugh, "no one really. Look, I have to go, I'll be back soon though ok?"

She got up and left, "Look Calla I..." he was interrupted as the door shut behind her. He hadn't meant to hurt her, he was just trying to make light small talk. Or something. He didn't really know.

As the hairs dropped in, the liquid began to bubble. She had taken a small glass of it into the courtyard so that it could, as the book said, "seep up the night's rays," as it calmed she took a drink. It tasted disgusting, but she carried on drinking until it was all gone. Surprisingly there was nothing solid in it any more, perhaps it had acidic qualities. She returned to her room, wondering when she would feel the difference, or if she even would. She was determined to stay awake, the whole night if it came to that, but as she closed the door behind her, a wave of tiredness rushed over her and she fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning she awoke as the sunlight burned her eyes. Her whole body ached as if she had been running all day yesterday. She rolled over and dropped to the floor. She got up on her hands and knees except... it wasn't hands she saw in front of her, it was paws. She gasped, but it came out like a growl. She looked on the bed and saw the shreds of the dress that she had been wearing yesterday. What had happened to her? Was the curse spreading? Then she remembered the spell. This certainly wasn't what she had expected, but then it had worked... in a way. She knew she had to find Adam.

"A... Beast! Wake up!" Calla ran into the room, after struggling with the door knob,

"What... huh," he groaned as he woke. "Calla?" Then he focused on the wolf that had just ran into his room, he growled.

"Beast, it's me, Calla!"

"Calla?" He gave the best look of confusion a beast could, "What happened to you?"

"I... when I was putting the parchment yesterday I found a secret room, it was full of spell books and I found this one that... it was an empathy spell, and since you seemed to well... empathise with me yesterday I thought I'd try it,"

"Are you an idiot?" Beast roared, "Seriously you must be if you wanted to be like this!"

"I didn't!" She shouted back, "I just wanted to see how you felt and now well I do... Don't call me an idiot, I'm not, ok?"

"What the hell are we going to do?"

"It's reversible, I think... I'm pretty sure it only lasts 24 hours."

"Pretty sure isn't really good enough... God, I needed you to help me break the curse, not join me in it."

"I am joined with you in it!" Calla said, her voice raising as her anger did,

"I know, I know... maybe we should ask Kairos to..."

"No! No bloody way am I asking that witch for help,"

"Stubbornness is what got us into this,"

"Beast, this lasts 24 hours, a day, that's all. If I'm still like this tomorrow, I promise I'll go ask her ok?"

"I guess," he still sounded unsure,

"Now, let's make the most of it."

He gave a wolf-like grin and ran from the room, speeding down the corridors like he'd never dared to before. He could hear her catching up to him and he called on the adrenaline of the chase to speed him up. It was so... exhilarating. Suddenly he heard her stop behind him.

"Beast, it's the front door."

"It's what?"

"I said we'd make the most of it didn't I? Come on... we may not get another chance!" Together they managed to open the door and they ran out into the sunlight.

"It's beautiful," Beast said,

"Come on, into the forest!" Calla laughed, running away as fast as her new four paws could carry her.

They ran for what seemed like miles. Sometimes they would turn around, simply to make the chase more exhilarating. It seemed like a chase, although who was chasing who was a mystery. To feel the wind in his fur, Adam found a feeling he'd never had before. It was true that he had never truly let himself experience the beast side of him, in fear that it might make the curse happen faster. But now, he let go of all his worries and just let himself be absorbed in his senses. Smelling the forest air, hearing the wind rushing past him, feeling leaves brush his fur, tasting the pine scent and seeing Calla the wolf running in front of him.

"So, the Beauty is now a beast?" Kairos spoke aloud as she saw the picture developing in her mirror. "What an interesting turn of events..."
