Chapter 4:
Previously:
"Prince Adam?" Mrs. Potts spoke as she hugged her crying child. "What is going through your mind?"
Then Adam began to speak, " So it would appear that there was never a curse. With the way they looked at me, with fear and with shock, they probably think of me as the same spoiled selfish child I once was. To them I was never the beast."
Now:
Seeing the horrified looks on their faces, Adam continued, "It's the only explanation." He paused. "If the spell hadn't been casted why do we still remember it? That is my question."
"I'm not sure, your majesty, I'm not sure." Said Mrs. Potts.
"But what about Belle?" Chip cried out. "She has to remember us."
This made Adam think about this problem deeper. 'What if Belle didn't leave him, what if she never met him at all.' The concept made Adam weary, so he gently sat himself down on the bed to prevent himself from fainting again.
"So if there were no curse at all, Belle would not have made it to the castle. She would not remember us."
"How do you know?" Cogsworth said, worried. "Since we remember, maybe she does too."
"Then I know what I must do. Adam abruptly said. "I have to go find Belle and see if she too remembers."
Adam quickly jumped off his bed, and rushed to the door.
"Then we are coming with you." The three loyal servants said in unison.
Opening the door, Adam turned around. "No my friends, I must do this alone."
"As you wish, your majesty. Would you like me to get the carriage ready?" Cogsworth asked.
"No thank you, Cogsworth. I'll be taking my horse," Adam mentioned as he ran to the stables to fetch his noble steed.
The ride through the forest to the village gave Adam some time to think to himself about what was occurring. The whole thought of Belle probably not remembering who he was really frightened him. He tried to not let it get to him but it did.
After riding for what seemed like hours, he saw a tiny town which was the village his Belle lived in. "Finally!" He spoke aloud to himself.
He tied his horse to a tree and approached the town.
Walking into the village, he could see the residents giving him weird looks and some even rushed away quickly when they saw him. This made him very uneasy.
'Was I really that cruel that the people, MY people, are that afraid of me?' He silently thought to himself. 'If so, what would Belle think of me?'
The moment he mentioned Belle's name in his mind, he suddenly saw a woman walking in the distance. This woman was beautiful. She had her wavy brunette hair tied back with a blue bow and wore a blue and white dress. It was Belle.
I hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter. The next chapter will fully introduce Belle, but things are not what they seem. i think you will be surprised. Please review. Thanks
