Chapter 4

Belle and I turn towards each other in a confused panic. We both run towards the doors and run down the stairs to the ballroom. To find that only Adam and a large beast, were just looking at each other. The mysterious beast was extremely tall, almost seven feet tall. The beast was as black as night, a long face like a reptile, two large horns protruding from its head. Its clothes were torn to the point where the color was indescribable. Adam turned towards Belle and me, he held out his arms, one towards us, the other towards the Beast.

"It's okay, he's good! He's harmless!" He shouted, the Beast turned towards us, eyes as red as flame.

"He was just like me." Adam then gestures for us to come closer, we look at each other both nodding our heads and walking towards Adam and the Beast. 

"Hello, I'm Belle. What's your name?" Belle asks the Beast, holding out her arm for the Beast to shake it. The Beast outstretches his enormous arm to shake Belle's dainty one. They shake hands and the Beast answers her question.

"I, I'm sorry your majesty, I did not mean to ruin your party, nor do I mean to be rude at all but... I don't know my name, however, I do know yours." Belle looked at the Beast, confused. "I know who you all are. You're king Adam," He points at Adam. "You are Queen Belle," He points at Belle.

 "And you," I look towards him, my eyes wide with anticipation and wonder. "Are Monsieur Lefou." The Beast smiles a small bit, I'm not sure why. "I was approached by a woman in gold, she told me that there was a candle in this castle. And that the candle was my clock when all the wax melts, and the wick has burned. I will wither and die." I look at the Beast and I ask, "Why have you been cursed? You seem to be a kind, gentle person. Why would this woman do this to you?" 

The Beast looks towards me, slightly confused by my outburst, or by my concern. "All the golden woman said was that I have been given a second chance to redeem myself. However, I don't know why I need to do so."

Belle, Adam, and I all look towards each other, then Adam speaks. "Could you excuse us for a moment?" He asks the beast, the beast nods his head. We all move a few feet away from the beast who is looking to the floor.

"We have the let him stay. It doesn't stay, he can't become human again. He clearly doesn't deserve that." Adam whispers to Belle and me. Belle and I look at each other and nod our heads.

 Belle and Adam talk about where he would sleep, and other arrangements. Whilst I was just looking. No, studying him. He seemed strangely familiar.
