Chapter 17: Methis Proposes.

That night the small group sits near each other. Half of them were asking Elise questions like how it was like inside the mansion. She smiles at looks at them. "Well I didn't really get a good look around, but I had an interesting conversation with a rat."

Lewis looks to her. "Did you find out how to break this spell."

She folds her arms. "Not yet, I actually made a deal with that rat. I know this might sound strange, but it'll find and give us the way in exchange for one song. One that it never heard before."

Miles blinks. "...Wait ...what!?"

Vivien sighs then looks to Elise. "That rat could have come from anywhere Elise. It probably heard every song that there is."

Elise smiles. "Not every song. I know a lot of songs you guys never heard before. I'm not worried. The only problem is chosing which song to sing."

Lewis raises an eye brow. "All of that just for one song? Songs weird to me."

Remy, who was sitting in Elise's lap, looks up to her. "What you going to sing?"

Elise smiles and looks down to the small child. "I haven't a clue yet. But I'll figure it out when it is time."

Demi looks up to the sky when something caught his eye. "Sylvia Whats that?" The group looks to the boy before looking up to the sky.

A glowing ball hovers above them before it floats to the ground in the middle of the circle. When it reached the ground, it sinks in it, disappearing from sight. A minute later a stem started to grow from the ground causing every one to stand in shock. The stem kept growing until it reached three feet. When it finished growing in hight six petals curl outward revealing a glowing White Stargazer Fleur De Lis.

Elise gasp in shock at the sight as her eyes wide.

Fleur smiles in delight. "It's so pretty!"

Remy clutches Elise's Skirt tightly. "What is it?"

Elise walks up and kneels down to it. "It's a Stargazer Fleur De Lis. It's my favorite flower."

Demy looks at it as he starts to shrink behind Sylvia. "But it's magic."

"Elise."

The group look up from the flower to find Methis, stand behind the group. The Sorcerer smiles to the wong woman. "Lets have a talk... Alone"

Elise glares at him. "We have nothing to talk about!"

Methis smirks. "Oh we have loads to talk about." Looking down to her, he turns to the mansion. "Right this way, princess." He walks away.

Elise sighs and stands up. Sylvia puts a hand on her shoulder. "If he tries anything, shout for us." The young woman nods then follows Methis.

The sorcerer opens the door of the mansion and watched as Elise walks inside.

She folds her arms, then looks at him. She grits her teeth tight when she poke to him. "What did you need to talk to me about."

He shuts the door and walks to Elise. "I wasn't lying that night."

She looks at him confusingly. "What are you talking about."

He starts to circle her. "Back at the castle. I told you, you were the belle of the ball. I didn't lie. You are very beautiful, princess."

Elise raises an eye brow. "Where is this conversation heading?"

Methis stairs at her. "I've felt like I'm missing something in my life for some time now. Do you know what it is?"

She glares at him. "A brain?" "No I haven't a clue. I know nothing about you to even know what you seem to be missing."

The Sorcerer stops in front of her. "companionship."

She drops her arms to her side, not liking where this is going. "And what does this have to do with me?"

He smirks at her. "Elise, I think you should Marry me."

She stairs at him then sighs out of annoyance. "Really? You really think I would marry you after you Kidnapped me from my friends and family and turn me into a fox? I'm sorry but I don't really have to think about it. My answer is 'No'. Besides I'm engaged to the king's brother and I'm not going behind his back to be with you!"

Methis' cocky smirk never left his face as her grabbed her chin with his forefinger and thumb. He gave her a light chuckle. "I'll let you think about it for a few days. I'm not giving you up so easily, my dear. In the end you will be mine."

She shook her hand off of her. "Doubt it! My answer won't change because you refuse to give up trying to win my hand." She heads for the door and leaves the mansion.
