Ella's eyes widened as she stared at the angry Beast. It was the first time; she had seen him after the night. She calmed herself as she tried not to faint as she answered his question with, "Nothing." She stumbled back as he pushed her back from the rose and looked at it to check any broke any pieces. She took in the scene in front of her as she saw the Beast caress the glass lid and he turned towards her as he screamed, "Do you realise what you could have done? You could have ruined us all." Ella took steps back as he walked towards her, he stomped his foot angrily on the floor and Ella's heart raced at the sound. She was frightened to death, as she stared at the creature in front of her. He roared out a loud, "Go!" This broke her from her stance as Ella turned around and ran like her life depended on it out of the room. She left the door thud behind her and she heard him close the door shut. But, she didn't stop as she rushed down the stairs.

She didn't want to be in this castle any longer and as she reached the stairs leading to the main door, she saw Lumière and Mr. Cogsworth in the foyer playing chess. She paid them no mind as she rushed down. She heard Lumière call her out, "Mademoiselle, where are you going?" They threw the chess board as they rushed after her and she heard Mrs. Potts shout loudly, "Where are you going?"

Ella was out of breath as she replied, "I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here any longer." Ella saw Mrs. Potts in her peripheral vision as she looked at the main door. Mrs. Potts yelled, "Don't let her leave." The coat hanger in front of the main gate, closed the door and locked it. Madame Garderobe walked out of the east wing because of the shouting, as she saw Ella was trying to leave she ordered Froufrou, "Go, Froufrou stop her." The footstool jumped down the stairs and stood in front of Ella who had now reached the end of the stairs. He stood on his legs and he licked Ella's hand and urged him to play with her.

"Not no, Froufrou. No play." Lumière sighed as he smacked his forehead. Ella nodded her head at the footstool and he ran towards the door. He opened the small adjoin door in the main door and ran outside. Lumière smacked his head again as the footstool had made Ella's escape easy. Ella didn't wait for anything as she ran towards the main door and made her way out through the small door.

As she stepped outside, she was hit with a wave of cold wind as the snow fell down. The entrance was filled with snow and Ella walked through the thick snow. She saw a horse outside the castle and she ran towards it. She saddled him and quickly climbed on him. She tugged on the ropes as she balanced herself. She bent down on the horse as she kicked him forward.

The cold air of the night hit her in the face as she rode towards the entrance. She didn't glance back once as she rode out. She rode through the gardens and fastened her speed as she saw the entrance. As she left the castle back, she sighed and rode into the forest. The forest was silent as a cemetery and Ella feared a little as she made her way through the forest.

A moment had passed and Ella was deep in the forest, she looked up at the moon and saw it shining brightly amongst the fog. She looked ahead as she saw a tree in the middle of the path. She heard the loud howling of the wolves and her eyes widened with realisation and she quickened her pace. She looked around her and saw some movements from her left. She turned around to look back and she gasped as she saw a pack of wolves chasing her. She looked ahead quickly and the horse neighed loudly as she saw a wolf in front of her. She gripped the ropes tighter as the horse jumped.

The horse moved in places as she saw the deadly fangs of the wolves and her heart beat loudly. She saw as a wolf jumped on the horse and she quickly slid down from the horse and picked up a log of wood she found on the ground. She turned around swiftly as she saw the wolves corner her. A wolf jumped towards her and she swung the log of wood at him. She missed him and the wolf landed next to her. She walked away from him as another wolf ran towards her, he barely managed to hit him but, she saved herself.

Ella stopped in her tracks as she heard a growl coming from behind her and she turned around to find a wolf on the top of small snow hill. She saw as she growled at her and fangs of his. Her eyes widened as she knew she couldn't survive him, as he was the same size as hers. The wolf took a step back as he readied himself and jumped at Ella, Ella put her hand up in defence and readied herself for the attack and closed her eyes. But, the attack never came.

As she opened her eyes, Ella saw the Beast jump on the wolf and take him down. He put his whole weight on the wolf and he covered the wolf's face with hic claws. He growled as the wolf bit hit in his paw. She saw as the beast scratched the wolf's stomach with his claw. The wolf cried out in pain as he bit the Beast in defence.

Ella shuddered as another wolf jumped on the Beast's back. She saw as the Beast pried the wolf away by catching him by his neck and throwing away. The wolf hit the tree and fell down as he cried in pain. The wolf which the Beast had been fighting, had managed to pin the Beast down and climb on him as he bit him one more time. Another wolf held the Beast's leg in his mouth as the Beast struggled with the wolf on top of him.

The Beast groaned loudly as he kicked off the wolf trying to bite him in the leg and pushed the wolf on top of him to the ground. He stood up as looked at her but, just then another wolf jumped on his back and the Beast growled out loud as he got a hold of the wolf and threw him on the ground. The wolf hit the ground with a loud thump as he fell down. The wolf whimpered in pain as he stood up but, before he could try to fight again; the Beast got down on his hands as he roared out loud at them and his fangs shines brightly in the moon light. Ella was frozen in her spot as she saw the Beast transform into a real Beast and growl at them.

The wolves ran away from them as they saw the Beast, silence following suit behind them. The Beast stood up as he stared at Ella, her eyes following his movement. She shuddered as the Beast's legs gave up and he fell down on the snow with thud. She turned towards her horse as she remembered how he had shouted at her, and she caressed the horse; saddling him. Ella looked up at the glowing moon and it reminded her of the rose in his balcony. She heard the whimpers from the Beast and reluctantly she turned around to face him.

She sighed as she took in his injured self, she couldn't help herself as she removed the coat from her horse and opened it before she spread it on the lying Beast. The Beast opened his eyes slowly as he looked at her through pain. She smiled at him sadly as she said, "You have to help me." The Beast looked at her confused as she nodded at him, "You have to stand up." She said to him as she helped him stand up. She helped him walk towards the horse and made him sit on it. She tightened the coat around him as she turned the horse with the help of the ropes and made her way back to the castle. The beast was whimpering in pain as they slowly walked through the thick snow. Ella sighed to herself as she saw his wound on his claw. The fur on his claw had been ripped from the wolf's bite and Ella felt bad for him.

She looked ahead as the moonlight lit the path for them.
