Adam and Belle woke up in a large room filled with many flowers and vines. It was pure white and had flowers covering the entire floor.

"Where are we?" Belle asked, now feeling a large rose petal.

"We're in Malchior's castle. We need to…BELLE! LOOK!" Adam said, now pointing to a sleeping boy on a nearby bed. It was Chip!

"Chip! Thank goodness!" Belle gasped, now running over and gently cuddling him to her. Her moving caused Chip to gently stir.

"B-Belle! Adam!" Chip said in pure joy, now grabbing onto her and Adam as he came and hugged the boy.

"Chip, are you alright?" Adam asked, now scanning him and looking for any signs of injury.

"I'm ok Adam. He-He actually took care of me," Chip said, now pointing to the food and pastries in the room. Adam turned and his eyes opened in slight surprise seeing the large trays and foods in the room. "He gave me whatever I wanted."

"Chip, I can tell you've been crying." Belle said gently.

"It's because I've been having nightmares! Nightmares about you guys never coming and I would never see you guys again," Chip sadly responded, now holding them tighter.

"Touching reunion…" A voice replied. All three turned and saw Malchior leaning on a nearby wall drinking something like wine. Adam stood in front of Belle and Chip protectively.

"Adam, you're a very interesting and brave human. But no one can care for your flower like I can. I am Malchior, the most powerful enchanter in this realm. I care for all life and I have a right to take and care for whatever I want."

"This isn't caring, this is kidnapping!" Belle said angrily.

"And she isn't a flower! She's a young woman! And more importantly; she's my wife!" Adam snapped.

"Adam Adam Adam…look around. My castle is filled with the most precious and wonderful flowers and treasure. The only thing I am missing is Belle." Malchior said, now walking over to her and reaching out to her. Adam pushed his hand away and Malchior laughed.

"Your frustration does not bother me," Malchior chuckled, now snapping his fingers and making Chip disappear and then reappear by his side!

"CHIP!" Belle yelled in horror.

"LET GO OF HIM!" Adam said, now walking towards him.

"I will make a deal with you Adam." Malchior grinned maliciously.

"Never! I've learned enough from your deals!"

"Alright, then I suppose Chip would make a wonderful new addition to my slaves…permanently." Malchior said, now running a clawed hand through Chip's hair.

"You sick creature! Stop that!"

"Then will you listen to my options?" Malchior replied, now making a chair appear with a wave of his hand. He then sat down.

"What is it?!" Adam growled.

"You will entertain me and the guests the night of the gala tomorrow. Only, you will be in your beastly form as you were three years ago."

"WHAT?!" Adam gasped.

"Adam, don't listen to him!" Belle growled, now standing to her feet and looking at Malchior straight in the eye. "You must be insane to think he would do this!"

"Beautiful and brave. You will no doubt be the most beautiful flower in my collection." Malchior grinned, now grasping her face in his clawed hand, but she pushed him off. "And Adam, if you agree and entertain us the entire night, I will release you all and let you all go home."

"You liar. This is some sort of trap!" Adam hissed.

"It could be. But it is up to you to decide the fate of your loved ones and yourself. Either you entertain me or you all remain here. Chip will become my slave forever, you will become my entertaining beast, and Belle will become not only my most beautiful flower, but my wife."

Adam roared in anger and charged at Malchior, but Malchior quickly put Chip in his lap. Adam stopped short and stared at him in anger.

"You come any closer and Chip will never leave my castle again."Malchior grinned, now moving Chip's shirt and revealing the gold collar.

"You monster! Release him!"

"Don't push me Adam. I am running low on patience." Malchior smirked.

"Adam, please help me!" Chip begged, now trying to wrench free of Malchior.

"Now stop squirming Chip; living with me is not so bad. Perhaps I will move from making you my slave to my pet." Malchior cooed in Chip's ear, knowing it would make Adam furious.

"HE'S NOT YOUR SLAVE OR PET YOU SICK HEARTED SORCERER!"

"He will be if you don't submit. Now for the last time, what is your answer?" Malchior said, his eyes now glowing white.

Belle looked at Adam in horror as Adam looked at the ground and she could see him clenching his fist in the most dangerous manner. But then the unthinkable happened.

Adam nodded his head in agreement!
