Legend of the Immortal

Face Your Demons

Fairies Abode.

Days passed in silence.

Everyone in low spirits.

No one had expected this kind of outcome.

A day after Belle's fainting, Tessia had confirmed that Belle had indeed fallen into post traumatic shock.

Everyday, Rica fed Belle, bathed and changed her and stayed by her side, unwilling to leave her side.

------

A week after Belle fainting.

Belle woke up groggily.

Groaning as she rose from her slumber.

Rubbing sleep from her eyes, she sat up.

Looking to her side was Tessia and Rica, asleep.

Looking downwards, she felt as if something was missing.

Like she forgot something.

She then turned her eyes to the side and saw white hair.

Her head hurt.

"Ngh...this pain...and why is my hair whi-" She froze.

Belle had remembered everything now.

"No...no...NO!..."

Running to the mirror, she looked and a girl with snow white hair stared back.

Backing away and holding the drawer as a backing, Belle sunk onto the floor sobbing hysterically.

At this point, Rica and Tessia had been rudely awoken from their sleep by quiet sobbing.

Looking up, they saw an empty bed and immediately realised what had happened.

Belle had woken.

Rushing to where the sound was emitting from, they found a small petite girl, curled on the ground sobbing endlessly.

"Teacher!"

"Master!"

Rica and Tessia cried out worriedly, rushing to Belle's sides and comforting her the best they could.

"Why did my stupid face come back. Didn't I become a boy...why am I...why am I me again...I hate me..." Belle said in a trembling voice.

"Teacher...you have to face your demons! You can't keep this locked up inside you! You can do it teacher! I believe in you!" Rica shouted, hugging Belle fiercely.

"No...no I can't! I'm weak. Useless. Pathetic. I'm nothing. I'm ugly. Just a play toy for the prince...No...please don't come near me!" Belle shouted in a trembling voice at Tessia.

Tessia walked forward and Belle inched back, trying to make herself seem smaller.

"Master, you have to face your demons. Tessia has been by master's side for a long time. Seeing master in so much pain, Tessia cannot stand! Master...you must..."

Belle shook her head rapidly, trembling saying time and time again,"I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't."

"Master! I am sure if miss and sir were here now they would not wish for you to be like this! Miss and sir raised a beautiful, adventurous girl! Master cannot blame herself for not being able to save miss and sir! If anyone, master should blame me for not saving them in time!" Tessia shouted tearfully.
