BANG!

My eyes snap open.

BANG!

I take in my dark surroundings. What's going on?

BANG!

I leap from bed stumbling to keep on my feet and fast walk down the hall towards the stairs.

BANG!
BANG!
BANG!

Adam stumbles quickly down the stairs rubbing the sleep from his eyes. His blue eyes meet my hazel green eyes full of confusion.

BANG!
BANG!
BANG!

"What's all that racket?" Ms. Potts demands appearing in the dining room doorway. She looks as tired as Adam and myself. I look to the clock. It's barely five in the morning.

I stride cautiously down the stairs Adam in tow. The door rattles with the next repetition of heavy banging. No one knows about the castle who could this be?

I reach for the door handle before the door bursts open and a familiar brown haired girl rushes inside slamming into me.

Belle and I sprawl across the floor, my ears ring with the impact of my head against the floor. "Océana!" Adam pulls me up holding me into his side protectively.

"Oh my!" Ms. Potts exclaims as belle rises slowly. She looks frantic and worried. Tears stain her cheeks and her clothes are ruined, something is wrong. Very very wrong.

"Océana! I don't know- i- he-" she begins to hyperventilate. "Belle! Stop it!" I demand pulling myself from Adams arms to grab the girl's shoulders. I shake her gently seeming to snap whatever holds her under such panic.

"Gaston! He found out. He found out we were going to leave. He took papa! He took him. He's going to send him away. And your mother! He claims that she- she- I don't know but it has to do with you. Océana you must come with me! You must." She grabs my shoulders, her slender fingers tightening around then as a viper squeezes its prey. I feel trapped.

"No." Adam pulls me away from belle. Hiding me behind his large body. "Absolutely not." He doesn't seem to like belle being in the castle? I don't blame him. I don't really like her here either.

"Beast please! I need her! I can't loose papa! She is the only one who can stop gaston from taking him from me I can't loose him! I can't loose him." She pleas. I place my hand on his bicep sliding around from behind Adam to face belle.

"What exactly did he tell you?" I inquire assessing this sudden intrusion so early. "He said he knew what we were doing. He convinced the entire village papa had finally lost it. I couldn't convince them to too. They are sending for the mad house, they will be there by noon to take papa away! Océana I can not loose him I need help!" I take a deep breath for a moment holding it in and then sigh. I look to Adam. His blue eyes plead for me to stay? To send belle away.

I look down and turn to belle. "Give me five minutes." I tell her walking up the stairs and into my room. I change into an easy dress and tug my cloak on with my boots. Adam stands in my doorway watching me fasten the cloak.

"Why? Stay please." He begs wrapping me into his arms. I want to stay but I'm compelled to help belle. She can't loose both of her parents. She doesn't deserve to no matter what she does to me.

"I will come back to you. I'll come back and never leave you again." I kiss his furry cheek taking the mirror from my table. Something compels me to bring it with me. I pass Adam hearing him whisper to himself as I do my heart stops. I shake it away my fingers brushing the sweet metal of the mirror in my pocket.

Descending the front stairs I see belle holding tightly to Florence and phillipes reins waiting anxiously for me. I slide onto Florence back beginning a canter away from the castle I turn to watch it fade. I watch Adam standing in the door way of the castle mouthing something to me that I can't hear. I wish I could. I'm going to regret this.
