The following night the Beast layed on the floor facing Belle. He didn't want to take his eyes off her in case she would disappear from his sight again.
Looking and Belle's beautiful sleeping face it Reminded him of the sleeping beauty story one of the the many books that Belle had read to him in library.
Where the beautiful princess with blonde golden hair had been cursed to sleep for many years and would only be awoken by her true love. A prince who would wake her with true loves first kiss the most powerful and magical thing in world. It was a shame the story wasn't true.
Then again if curses and magical Enchantresses where real then why couldn't true loves first kiss be real too. Well there was only one way to find out. If true lovers kiss would wake Belle from her unconscious state.
The Beast got up from the floor and keeled next to the bed and looked at Belle's beautiful face as she slept peacefully and gave her a kiss on the Check. "You Idiot when have ever heard of a price giving true loves kiss on the cheek, you need to kiss Belle on the lips you fool". the Beast Conscience said in his mind. As he slowly brought Belle face closer to his. "Please Belle don't leave me " the Beast said as he kissed his beloved sleeping Belle on the lips.
As the Beast slowly broke the kiss between him and Belle. He Carefully put Belle's head back on pillow. As he kneeled down his head down looking at the floor in Prayed that the kiss had worked and soon Belle would be awake.
A few minutes later The Beast started to hearing Belle slowly moving her towards him and she whispered his name. As the Beast heard his name he slowly risen his head and looked at Belle and he saw Belle's eyelashes flickering like little butterfly wings.
As Belle slowly open her eyes she reached to touch the Beast face to make sure he was real and not just some dream. "Belle thank god your awake" The Beast said as he put his arms around her.
"Wait, Beast what happened where Gaston" Belle said.
"It's alright Belle your safe now and I'll never let any harm come to you again" The Beast as he kissed Belle on the head. As Belle closed her eyes and held on to Beat tighter the only thing she when her eyes were closed all she saw was Gaston hurting her again.
As Belle cried into the Beast shoulder she Knew that she had to escape from these bad memories and get Gaston out of her head and the only way she could do that was to go to the library and read to the Beast. " Beast take me to the library please I want read to you" Belle said.
"No Belle you need to stay here and rest" The Beast as he Laid Belle body back on the bed.
"No please Beast let me read a story take me to the library so I can read to you and get these Horrible dreams out of head. Belle said as she sat up .
"Alright right Belle I take you to the library. But if anything happens to you while we are down there your going straight back to bed. Now do you think that you'll be strong enough to walk or do you want me carry you." The Beast said as he helped Belle out of Bed and on to her feet.
" no I think that I can walk. But I might have to lean on your shoulder" Belle said as the Beast put his arm around her for support as they made their way to the library.
Belle and the Beast walked through the library door and Belle looked through the shelves to find a book to read while the Beast to the kitchen to them both a cup of tea. Belle looked up a saw on the high shelf was the perfect book that she could to the Beast. Belle carefully walked up the ladder to get the book. Belle had just picked up the book off the shelf when the Beast came in to the library with a tray of tea in his paws.
" Belle...Belle! What are you doing up there be careful". The Beast said as he put the tray of tea down as he looked at Belle who on top of the ladder.
"Beast! I've just found the perfect book for me to read to you" Belle said happily as she hanged from the ladder and held the book in hand but as she began to walk down the down the ladder it began to wobble and Belle accidentally let go of the ladder and was falling to the floor. But before She hit the hard floor the Beast court her in his arms.
"Belle are you alright" the Beast said as looked at Belle as he held her in his arms.
"Yes Beast I'm fine thanks for saving me. But you can put me down now." Belle said as at the beast although she didn't really want the Beast to let her go she thought it would be best so that she wouldn't be a burden to him.
"No Belle your staying right here in my arms so I can hold you and Protect you. I'm not letting you go yet . Now let's see what book you are going to read to me?". the Beast said as he sat down on the sofa by the fire with Belle sitting on his lap and looked at the book that was in Belle's hand.

" yes it's a wonderful story one of my favorites and I'm sure that you'll like it too. Now once a upon time in the city of London." Belle said as she began to read the story out to the Beast.
About half hour later Belle was just finishing reading the story to Beast. "Arthur pulled the sword from the stone but it didn't come out the second time but still no release then for the third time the sword came out of the sword ."
"So that must mean his the king." The Beast said in Excitement.
"Wait and see shall I continue "Belle said
"Yes please. " the Beast said
"For the third time Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and the crowed all shouted hail King Arthur long live the king." Belle said as the story had ended and closed the book and closed her eyes to let the great story settle in.
As Belle put the book down on on the side table she thought what book the Beast might fancy reading for another day. "Beast do you have any idea what book you would like me you next time" But the getting no answer from the Beast and seeing him Scratching his hear as though something might be on his mind and Bothering him. "Beast what's wrong are you alright?" Belle asked the Beast
"Nothing wrong Belle I'm alright. There just something I don't understand why did you come back and stay with this Gaston guy who I'm sure is very handsome wouldn't you rather be with him than a Beast like me" The Beast said
"Beast this is my home I could never live with Gaston he is mean rude and selfish. He doesn't like me reading books. Yes he may look handsome but on the inside he is a Horrible man and I rather live with you, Prince in Disguise that cares for me than live with a handsome man that doesn't and besides you are a prince in my eyes Belle said.
As she looked into the Beast's and saw that he had Doubts about the feeling Belle had for him. "Beast looked into my eyes don't you realise that I see a man within the Beast that is here before me" Belle sang trying to Re-insure the Beast that no matter what he looked like Belle would always love and care for her him.
"Oh Belle thank you for coming into my life I am so thankful that you are home, where you should be with me forever trust in me, please don't leave me again m. From today you are all that I need and this is what I need to say don't you how you've changed me strange how I finally see you are home with me please stay with me." The Beast sang quickly as he hugged Belle in his arms.
"Oh Beast don't worry I'm going to try my best to always be here for you" Belle said
"Thanks Belle. It's getting late we should get to bed" Beast as got up from the sofa carrying Belle in his arms they left the library and went upstairs towards the west wing.
The Beast went through the west wing door and slowly, carefully put Belle on the bed and pulled the cover over her.
As Belle got Comfy. She saw the Beast laying on the floor by the fireplace and she started to miss the feeling of f the Beast arms around her and wondering if the the Beast would consider holding her in his arms as they slept together. "Beast I'm cold" Belle said.
