It was wonderful morning in France/ Praise and Gaston was walking to Belle's cottage with Lafuo to get his bride for there wedding Gaston nocked on door But there was no answer so Gaston nocked on the door again a little harder then realized that the door was already open. Gaston stepped though door and looked around it seemed like no was home "Belle!" Gaston shouted getting a little worried .
Then Lafuo Found a sheet of paper on a wooden table that had Dear Gaston written on the top of the page "Gaston have a look at this" Lafuo said handing him the letter Dear Gaston me and my father have been kidnapped please don't try and look for me I don't want you to get hurt good bye forever love Belle it read.
Gaston was just about to marry the girl of his dreams but now she was taken away from him and he might never see his beloved Belle again Lafuo looked at Gaston and saw the anger and terror in his eyes as Gaston said "Don't worry Belle I'll find you if it's the last thing I do and I'll kill the thing that has taken you away from me I swear to god that you will be my wife no matter what." Gaston and Lafuo left Belle's cottage and got on his horse and began the search for Belle in the woods.
At the Beast's castle Cogsworth went to Belle's bed room to take Belle to the dining room to join her father and the Beast who were waiting for her so they could all eat their breakfast together. Cogsworth nocked on the door but there was no response "Belle" Cogsworth called and open the door only to find that Belles room was empty.
Cogsworth ran in the castle and look in every room and called for Belle until he found her in library siting on light blue arm chair wearing a light green dress with long sleeves. "Ah there you are Belle would you please join us in dining room for some breakfast" Cogsworth said as he walked to Belle. But Belle didn't say anything. "Belle" cogsworth said again.
"Oh sorry Cogsworth I didn't see you there" Belle said
It's quite alright Belle would you please follow me to the dining room and have some breakfast with the Mater and your father" Cogsworth said
"Oh course of Cogsworth lead the way" Belle said as she followed Cogsworth out of the library. Belle and Cogsworth walked down the hall to the dining room and Belle twisted the door nob and walked into the dining and sat down at the table.
"Good Morning Belle did you sleep well?" Maurice said but got no answer from Belle "Belle" Maurice/Belle's father said again "mm oh yes papa very well thank you Belle said trying sound convincing Belle didn't actually sleep at all because she keep on getting nightmares about her being Gaston wife and live with him. Belle hated to lie to her father but she didn't want him to worry so she tried her best to put a brave smile on and act normal which seemed to be working cause her farther hadn't notice anything wrong with his daughter.
But the Beast however could tell that something was wrong with Belle and he wasn't the only for the enchanted objects noticed as well in fact earlier that morning when the sun was barely up and everyone was asleep, Mrs Potts saw Belle walk to the library a she look like she had just been crying.
Present time everyone had finished their breakfast well apart from Belle who really didn't eat much as she quickly creped back to the library and closed the door and sat down on the same blue chair trying her best not to cry as she look at the floating and could hear the slight crackling of the fireplace but as soon as Belle closed her eyes she saw Gaston ping her against the door and try to kiss her. Belle quickly open her eyes in relief that she was still in the library and that it was just a dream.
A few minutes later the Beast walked down the hall towards the library with Mrs Potts, Lumiere and Clogsworth close behind him. The Beast opened the library door for Mrs Potts who went into the library very quietly she did not want to disturb Belle who look like she was sleeping peacefully. Mrs Potts quietly hoped to Belle and nudge on her leg just blow her knee. Belle felt the nudge and woke in shock shouting about the nightmare she just had " no! Gaston! please! no!".
"Sorry dear I didn't mean to frighten you" Mrs Potts said worriedly
"Oh no Mrs Potts you didn't" Belle said
"What's wrong dear? is everything alright?" Mrs Potts said
"No nothing wrong everything fine it's just,,,,I'm fine" Belle said nervously.
"Ok dear well I'm going to make you some mint tea you know to steady your nerves I'll in a minute" Mrs Potts said leaving the library and heard Belle say "Thank you Mrs Potts".
A few minutes later Mrs Potts came back down the hall on a tray with wheels on and stop at the library door "can I give Belle her tea with you" the Beast said
"Of course you can master I think Belle would be happy to see you" Mrs Potts said as she and Beast went into the library.
"There you are Belle this should make you feel better" the Beast said as he gave Belle her mint tea and sat himself down
"Thank you Beast" Belle said
"Maybe later you can read to me" Beast said
"Actually Beast I don't think I can it's not that don't want to I just don't feel like reading today" Belle said
"Mrs Potts would please leave me and Belle alone I need to speak with Belle privately" Beast said
"Of course Master just tell me if you need anything" Mrs Potts said as she left the library and told everyone outside to leave Belle and Beast in peace.
"What's wrong Beast are you ok?" Belle said in a caring voice.
"I'm fine Belle it's you that's not alright Belle please tell what's wrong" Beast said
"Beast I'm fine nothings wrong" Belle said
"Don't lie to me Belle I know there's something wrong cause when do ever not feel like to reading you always love read to and I love hearing read to me" Beast said
"Beast please I'm fine really I'm just a bit tired that's all" Belle said as she look at her knees and didn't make eye contact with Beast. Beast got up from his chair and knelt down in front of Belle and looked at her face he could tell that she had been crying.
"Belle I can tell that you have been crying, you didn't get any sleep at all last night did you?" Beast said in a concerned voice
"Beast I,,,,, please just leave it I'm fine really look his gone now and he can't hurt me or my father again" Belle said as she put her hand over mouth realizing what she just said
"What Belle who been hurting you?" please tell me I want to help. Beast said
"Beast please forget what I said ok the reason I don't want to read to day is because for some reason reading won't let me escape to day" Belle said as she nearly began to cry.
"Escape? escape from what?" Beast asked
"Escape from that village escape from all the judging people who don't like me just because I read escape to a world where I can belong" Belle said as she wiped the tears off her face.
"Well I know how that feels I don't belong anywhere ether so maybe we are met to belong together" Beast confessed "but that still doesn't answer my question on who's hurting you and your father so please tell I want to keep you safe I don't any harm to come you Belle please tell me" Beast said as he stroked Belles cheek gently with his claws.
"Beast I'm,,, sorry but can't tell you" Belle said as she stood up from her chair and walked towards the door
"Belle wait" Beast said as he started to follow her to the door
"Beast please leave me alone don't follow me" Belle said as she opened the door than shut it again behind leaving the Beast alone in the library.
Belle was walking away from the library doors she was very upset about the little fight her and Beast just had she so wished that she could tell Beast about Gaston and the nightmares she had been having but she didn't want the Beast to think that she was using him for protection or for him to think that she didn't care and love him. Belle just didn't want to risk losing her Best friend and the person that she trusted with her life also a person that she might even be in love with.
As Belle walked feather way from the library she was wondering where she could be alone with her thought she couldn't go to her room she was sure her father would check in on her if she was in there then she thought about going to the garden so she decided to go to the garden to her horse Phillip. Belle walk to towards the front doors of the castle and got her dark pink coat of the coast hook and opened the doors and outside towards the stables at the back of the cast under the balcony of the west wing
Belle was stroking Phillip brown chocolate coloured nose and feed him some apples. Meanwhile deep in the forest Gaston and Lafou was on his black horse looking for belle. Gaston and Lafou rode over the bridge deep into the forest until they encountered a two path way one with the sun shining though the trees while other was dark and spooky looking the same tow path way Maurice came across before he found the beast castle those 5 months ago.
"Uh Gaston which way should we go" Lafou said hoping Gaston would chose the path that wasn't scary and dark.
"Mmm I think we should go this way" Gaston said as he ponied to the dark path and continued to speak "it looks mysterious , I think it's just the path that the kidnapper took Belle" Gaston said as he and Lafou started to walk down the dark and spooking looking path.
Meanwhile Back a the castle Belle was still stroking Phillip when she hear a bark from behind her Belle turned round and saw Sultan the foot stool dog going down the stairs to Belles legs. Belle knelt down and pet and stroked him on the head and stood up and looked towards a tree it was the same tree Beast chased her around after she though a snowball at him that that cold November winters day and the snow was still shining on the trees, ground and on bushes as the sun shone on the snow making it sparkle.
Belle went back to stroking Phillip as the horse sniffed the ground and got a familiar smell it smelt like a hunter someone Belle knew from the village in an instant Phillip knew that it was Gaston he was coming for Belle he had to warn her. All a sudden Phillip started to neigh loudly a stomp his hooves on the ground while trying to move Belle behind him with his head. Belle couldn't understand why Phillip was acting like this "Phillip please steady, Steady calm down everything ok" Belle said as she got a carrot from the pocket which seemed to make Phillip cam down and stop neighing
so Gaston wouldn't see her. But inside off helping Belle realize that Gaston was coming he help Gaston and Lafou find the location to where Belle was hide cause while Phillip was neighing Gaston a lafou where riding though the path and once they heard the horse neighing and fowled the noise until they found two metal barred gates. Gaston opened the gates then lady speaking he could tell it was Belle so Gaston and Lafou quietly walk around to the back of the castle and hid behind some bushes and saw Belle right in front of them.
As Gaston and Lafou watch Belle they suddenly hear a voice come from the front door. "Belle oh there you are come back inside you catch a cold being out here" Maurice said
"Ok Papa I'm coming" Belle said as she walk past the bushes that Gaston and Lafou were hiding behind not knowing they where there and went back into the castle.
Sultan the dog foot stool was sniffing the ground and kept getting closer to the bushes where Gaston and Lafou where still hiding behind. Sultan was just about to bark when he heard someone call his name "Sultan come on boy in you come" Belle called from the door as she saw the dog foot stool walk up the castle stairs and into the castle.
Belle and Maurice walk back to the library and sat down the wooden chair next to a round table that was facing the window Papa would like to play chess "I think there is a chess board around here somewhere" Belle said as was looking chest of drawers. "Ah here it is" Belle said as she found a chess board and put on the table and sat down.
A few minutes later Belle and Maurice finished there first game of chess with Maurice putting Belle in check mate. "Well done Papa, good game do you want to play again" Belle said as she was setting the counters out in there right places for a new game.
"Belle my child what wrong?,you never loose in a game of chess is there something your not telling me?"
"What are you talking about? nothing wrong I'm fine why wouldn't I be?" Belle said try her beast not to cry while she was talking
"Belle please tell me what's wrong ? is it Quasimodo do you miss him " Maurice said "
"yes Papa I miss Quasimodo but that not why I'm" Belle stared to say but interrupted by Maurice who said
" It's Gaston isn't he's the one that making you upset right?".
"Oh Papa why he just leave me alone it's not fair" Belle said as began to cry. "Belle dear what's wrong" Maurice said as he got up from his chair and went his daughter and gave her a hug .
"Why dose he have to haunt me I can't eat ,I can't sleep I can't even read to my best friend Beast, and I keep have horrible nightmares about me being Gaston's little wife" Belle said as she continued to cry and hug her father tighter.
"Shh it's alright my child your safe here no going to hurt you everything going to be fine you'll see, but I really think you should the Beast about Gaston" Maurice said in comforting voice try to calm Belle down while he heard her crying. Come on Belle dear lets go into the dining room for dinner and please try to eat something and promise me you talk to Beast about the nightmare that you been having" Maurice said as he and Belle started to leave the library.
"Alright Papa, I'll try to eat something and I promise to talk to Beast tomorrow morning first thing after breakfast" Belle said as she followed her father to the dining.A few minutes later and Belle, Maurice, and Beast were siting at the dinner table eating Coq au Vin (Chicken in White Wine) and some salad on the side. Lemon-Berry Savarin was going to be for dessert Citron Pressé a Frenchlemonade to drink.
Meanwhile outside Gaston and Lafou where looking into the windows trying to find out where belle is but lucky the dining room currents were close so no one could see inside. "Gaston why can't we just go into the castle right now and get Belle be on a way home why do we have to wait dark?" Lafou questioned as he looking around feeling scared and anxious.
"Because if we go in there no people will see us and we don't want to get into a fight with the kidnapper so where wait out here unit 8.00 go to the castle find Belle and go home understand" Gaston said as the sun began to set it had just turned 7.15 Meanwhile back inside Belle, Maurice and Beast had finished there food and went to there rooms Belle and Maurice walk to there rooms said good night to each other. Belle was just about to go into her room when she saw the Beast walking towards her "Beast" Belle said as she saw him stop moving and look at her.
"Yes Belle" Beast said
"I'm so sorry for arguing with you" Belle said
"Yeah I'm sorry to I should have pestered you to tell me you have to tell me wants wrong I just wanted you to know that you can trust me and tell me anything" Beast said
"Beast I do just you Belle said and she hugged the beast meet me after breakfast tomorrow morning in the library and I'll tell you everything" Belle said as she boke the hug. The Beast nodded and walk towards the west wing feeing glad that Belle trusted him all he need now was for to love him and brake the spell.
