"Lumiere, stop being so mean, you know he's just stating his opinion. We're entitled you know."

"Yes, but he is so.. so.. negative all the time! What if she is the one? That means the cu-"

"Hello my dear, how are you this evening?" An older man cleared his throat to get their attention.

Belle just stood there, kind of hoping they continued talking before they saw her, there was a young lady, maybe a little younger than her, skinny, her hair black hair up in a bun, she was wearing black and white floor length dress for what only could be assumed a maids outfit. The tall, very skinny young man stood beside her, a tan long sleeve shirt, and dark brown trousers, his hair was tied back with a yellow ribbon. Then she looked back at the older man looking at her, a tall white hat sat on his head, and right away she knew he was the cook, he just smiled at her. Why did Mrs. Potts say they were different? They were normal looking to her.

"Oh yes Adrian, she hasn't eaten a thing since she's been here! Poor thing." Mrs. Potts gave a disapproving nod of her head before walking towards the table, setting down plates and utensils.

"It's almost been two days! How come she wasn't brought here sooner Audrey!" He looked more angry than worried, he was waving his arms around in frustration.

"Well, she has been sleeping until a few hours ago, I found her in the hall way, she asked to look around, so I showed her, and don't you raise your voice at me Adrian!" She didn't know an old woman could give such cold glare, but her features softened right away.

"Umm.. if it's not to much trouble, could I have some soup?" All eyes were on her, and they all smiled, Adrian nodded his head.

"What kind of soup madam?"

"Well, I only know one type of soup, but I don't remember how it tasted, it's been to long..." She felt herself go into a slight trance remembering her mother cooking soup when she was little, it always made her feel better, if she was sad, angry or scared, it made her feel better, but she could never remember the taste, it only disappointed her even more.

"Hmm, I could make one my mother taught me, should put a smile on that pretty face of yours." He tapped her shoulder lightly and went off to the right and began chopping vegetables.

"Mama, mama! I did it! I fixed the cup!" A little boy with blonde hair, and very bright blue eyes came running into the kitchen carrying a small tea cup. A huge smile plastered on his face from his achievement.

"I told you sweet heart you could do it." Mrs. Potts patted his head and smiled sincerely. "Now for introductions. This tall young man is Lumiere." She pointed to the man wearing the light brown clothing.

"Hello madam, I hope you enjoy your stay at the castle, if you need anything let me know and I will try my best." She smiled and kissed her hand lightly.

"This here is Marie, she'll be around the castle, so if you ever get lost she will be there and point you in the right direction." Marie did a small curtsey, and smiled shyly. "The older man you met was Adrian, he's the cook in the castle, what ever you feel like eating, I assure you he can make it. And lastly, this here is Chip, he's my only son."

Chip ran up to her and shook her hand, a bright smile on his face, and she couldn't hide the small smile the crept to hers. "Nice to meet you Belle."

"And you to Chip." The door behind her sudden opened and a loud voice rang through the room.

"I'm starved, Adrian whats fo-, You must be Belle!" The woman came and hugged her, which only left her in a bit of shock, who was this woman? "Oh how rude of me, I'm Willow, the wardrobe, I can make any clothing beautiful, just ask. Now, back to my question, Adrian whats for dinner?" She turned and headed towards the elder man who was now putting a pot on the stove. Turning around she asked, "Mrs. Potts, why did you say they, were.. well.. different, they seem normal to me, I mean besides being extremely outgoing and nice." Lumiere just looked at her, almost shocked like she didn't know a thing, but that was it, she didn't know.

"Audrey, you didn't tell her? Oh, can I do it please? I always wanted to!" Lumiere was almost jumping up and down with excitement, when she nodded her head, the biggest smile went across his face. "Well madam, you are in what people call, an enchanted castle, you know magical, each one of us has a, unique, talent, different ones each except for Audrey and Chip." Belle just stared, how could she believe this, now she knew these people were crazy, but that didn't stop her from asking the question.

"What do you do? Each of you?" They all looked at her with a little bit of fear, but mostly excitement.

"I control the lighting, meaning I can make light appear where there is no light, I can make fire start in a fire place that has no would, although I find it much easier when there is wood." Lumiere looked as if he could smile forever.

"I clean. Nothing special, but I can make the most messiest, destroyed, dusty rooms cleaner than they were originally, sometimes I clean just to clean, but it does come in handy when you don't feel like dusting." Marie just gave almost a reassuring nod to herself before looking at Belle.

"Willow can make anything, mainly clothes, but the clothing she makes is absolutely gorgeous. She makes fabric appear and bam, a beautiful dress or suit is made. Adrian makes the food in the house as you already know, but he can grow any herb, vegetable, fruit, and make it into the most delicious thing you've ever eaten, really good talent to have I must say. As for me and Chip, we fix the dishes, cups, and cutlery. Our speciality is tea though, we think it and it's there, milk and all. Chip's getting better, but still not quite there." She hugged the little boy and looked back at Belle. These people were really insane! Believing they could do these "magical" things within the blink of an eye. She was in a castle with a bunch of crazy people. But.. what if it's true? What if they could do the things they claim they can do? The thought had slowly crept into her mind, but she pushed it away, but it lingered.

"W-when I walked in you were saying he. Are you referring to the Beast?" This made them look uncomfortable, but of course Lumiere was the one to speak.

"No, and a shame we almost forgot. We were talking about our dear friend Coggsworth. He fixes and builds clocks, can tell you the time when there is nothing around, he was good at it before, but now its bothersome with his "knowledge" he claims he has." Lumiere had actually used hand signals around knowledge.

"Lumiere! You know he means well! Now enough of this huff and puff, lets eat." Marie took Belle's hand and led her towards the small wooden table which was set for everyone, the soup was already in the bowls, and it smelt delicious.

When they all sat down, she began to eat. She could taste everything, tomatoes, onions, beef, and more vegetables that were finely chopped into little pieces. "This is amazing!"

"Haha, I do try my best to please everyone." Adrian nodded at her approval, and they all ate, the others all talked about stuff, but her concentration was on something else entirely, that book in the library. Why was Mrs. Potts so upset when she had it? She needed to find a way back to the library without making to much suspicion to the others. Surprisingly she liked them, they were nothing like the towns folk. Always open, talking, and genuine. She found herself liking this place more and more, it was a little gloomy, but she would get over it, why aren't you leaving? Are you afraid? The thought crept into her mind, but it posed a good question. Why wasn't she leaving? It hit her again, You already know. Gaston. He scares you, you're afraid if you leave he will find you again. You think he will forget you if you stay here, but you know better, you kn- her thoughts kept racing to back what happened that night. She didn't know how far into her thoughts she was until she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up to see Mrs. Potts at her side again, with a worried expression on her face.

"Are you alright m'dear? Your shaking terribly! We must get you back to the room, come on." She slowly lifted her by the arm, making sure she wouldn't fall over, but it didn't stop Belle's knee's from buckling, and she collapsed to the floor, she felt her self shake and the tears fall from her eyes, she was scared, but how could she admit that to these people, they would only judge, kick her out, she would be nothing, and would fall back into the devil's arms, she couldn't go back to him, she would die before she did, but she was still scared, what if he did come back, what would she do then?

Sorry it wasn't long, but I couldn't go any further, I have a small idea for the next chapter which I will try and have posted by the end of this week. Again sorry for the delay, I got so busy in work that I hardly had time. I hope this wasn't a disappoint and let me know if I missed or need to add anything.

Thanks for reading guys! Let me know what you think, much appreciated.
