''We're paired together for this project,'' Belle said to Adam.

''I don't want to, you're so smart, you can work alone,'' Adam yelled.

''Listen I'm not about to fail this class so we're gonna work together whether you like it or not.''

''Fine have it your way little miss perfect. But you're gonna regret this,'' Adam returned to his place and Belle sat down at her table to.

''Well it looks like you finally made a breakthrough,'' Jasmine said.

''Well let's hope that he actually does something,'' Belle sighed.

''How is it working out with your group project Tia?'' Jasmine asked.

''Not good, I think that I'm about to give up. I can't even get Naveen to listen to me.''

''Don't give up Tia,'' Jasmine said. ''We all know that Naveen is a spoiled rich boy, maybe he just needs a little more help.''

''Yeah if anyone can do it it's you,'' Ariel said.

Rapunzel came to their table almost tripping over her hair as usual. ''I didn't know what to get so nurse Vanessa put food on my plate. Do you guys know what this wobbly stuff is?''

''It's Jell-O, it's a dessert. Maybe we should put your hair up so you don't trip so much over it. Maybe we can braid it?''

''Maybe,'' Rapunzel said while taking a bite of her Jell-O. ''This stuff is great I think I'll get some more.''

''Let's do it tonight while Belle works together with Adam.''

After dinner Adam had disappeared from the cafeteria. Belle went to his room and knocked. When no-one answered Belle tried the door. It opened and Belle carefully walked in the room. It was a big mess it looked like no-one ever cleaned it. There were clothes everywhere and his sheets and curtains were ripped. It looked like Adam wasn't around suddenly she saw a clean dresser with a single pink rose in a vase with a picture of a young girl in front of it. Belle picked up the picture the girl had blue eyes and auburn hair in two pigtails, she wore a pink dress and sat on a swing. The girl looked like Adam and Belle was curious to know who the girl was. Suddenly she heard the door opening. She quickly put the picture back and turned around to see Adam.

''What are you doing in my room?'' he yelled while trembling with anger.

''I was just looking for you to work on our project,'' Belle stammered.

''Did you touch my stuff?'' he yelled and suddenly he changed into a big hairy beast with horns. ''Get out of my room!''

Belle ran out of the room. She was shocked he just changed into a beast before her eyes. Belle found Ariel in the recreation room looking on as jasmine was braiding Rapunzel's hair. ''she's got a lot of hair, hasn't she.''

''Ariel I need to talk to you,'' Belle said grabbing Ariel by the arm.

''Sure, be back in a sec,'' Ariel said to Jasmine and Rapunzel.

''What's up?'' she asked when they were in Belle's room.

''I just went to Adam's room and there was a picture of a little girl there. I picked it up to look at it and suddenly Adam came into the room and he was real mad. He started screaming and me and suddenly he changed into a beast with fur and horns and everything.''

''Belle, people don't change into beasts, at least not literary. Are you not just imagining it?''

''Of course it not imagining it, I'm just a little freaked out. I mean it's one thing to know that someone has magic powers, it's another thing to know that he changes into a big beast.''

''Belle that only happens in one of your books, nobody has magic powers.''

''Everybody here has magic powers, that what this institute is for, to help us control our powers. Me for example, if I read something out loud from a book it comes alive.''

''Look Belle, you're obviously very confused and I wish that I could help you but I can't. I'm just gonna get back to jasmine and Rapunzel maybe you should talk to one of the nurses.''

Belle couldn't believe it, her best friend thought that she was crazy. Belle needed to cool down. She went to the gym to jog a little. After a couple of rounds she felt her head clear up. She saw that Adam had entered the gym to. Great, just what she needed. Suddenly she heard a weird noise above her head. She looked up to see one of the tl-lights swinging dangerously on only one thread. The thread broke and Belle found herself frozen in her place. Suddenly just before the light could hit her she was shoved out-of-the-way by Adam. She saw that he had a nasty cut on his leg from the light.

She took him to the kitchen where she found a first aid-kit. ''I need to clean this wound,'' Belle said and wet a cloth. ''Here now,'' and she moved the cloth towards the wound where upon Adam moved his leg. ''Don't do that, just hold still,'' she said as Adam was constantly moving his leg out of her way.

''Aaargh! That hurts,'' he yelled when Belle finally managed to press the cloth against the wound for a second.

''If you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much.''

''Well if you hadn't decided to go running, this wouldn't have happened.''

''If you hadn't frightened me, I wouldn't have run.''

''Well you shouldn't have been in my room.''

''Well you should learn to control your temper. Now, hold still. This might sting a little,'' and she pressed the cloth to the wound on his leg and Adam growled in pain. ''By the way, thank you, for saving my life,'' she said in a much softer tone.

Adam looked surprised. ''You're welcome.''

Suddenly Jane entered the kitchen, ''Do you know anything about,'' then she saw what Belle was doing. ''Well that solves that mystery,'' Jane said. ''why don't you go back to Jasmine, Ariel and Rapunzel Belle I will take care of Adam further.''

Belle went back to the recreation room were Jasmine was just finished with Rapunzel's hair. ''Hey there you are,'' Jasmine said, ''what do you think?''

''I think it needs a little extra,'' Ariel said, ''maybe we can decorate it with flowers. Let's go find some Belle.'' Belle sighed maybe Ariel just wasn't ready yet to accept the truth.

Maybe some people are gonna hate me for Ariel not believing Belle but remember Ariel thinks that everybody in the institute has a mental illness or something. so who was that girl in the picture and why didn't Adam want Belle to see it?

The elf fantasy fair is finally this weekend and I'm very excited although there are some difficulties like my sister-in-law getting sick but fortunately a classmate can lend me a wheelchair so my sister can join us.

I'm very pleased with how this chapter turned out, I hope you like it to, R&R and till next chapter which will feature Naveen and Tiana.
