When they reached the castle Frida helped Manny into a chair then soaked a cloth in hot water to clean his wound.

"Don't do that or you'll get an infection." Frida said when she saw him picking at his wound. "Just hold still."

But he refused to stop moving and when she placed the cloth on his wound it stung.

"OWWWWW!" He roared. "That hurts!"

"If you'd hold still it wouldn't hurt as much!"

"Well if you hadn't of run away this wouldn't have happened!"

"If you hadn't frightened me I wouldn't have run away!"

"Well you shouldn't have been in the west wing!"

"Well you should learn to control your temper!"

At that moment everything went quiet then Frida gently lifted his arm.

"Now hold still, I'm not gonna lie to you this might sting a little." She pressed the cloth to his cut and began to clean it. Manny hissed in pain but he kept still. "By the way thank you for saving my life."

"You're welcome."

"How did you know I was in danger?"

"I heard you scream."

"I was miles away."

"I have very good hearing."

"Why did you save me from the wolves? You were mad at me."

"Because you would've been killed stupid! I have a heart you know! But why did you help me? You could've escaped."

"First of all don't call me stupid! I'm actually very smart and I bet I'm a lot smarter than you! And second you would've died if I hadn't helped you, I have a heart too you know."

He was surprised that she actually cared about him especially after how he had treated her. She had helped him and fixed his wound which he never thought anyone other than his servants would do for him. Once his cut was cleaned she bandaged his arm.

"Ow...Ow...Ow, ow, ow!"

"Will you stop that? I didn't even touch you that time."

"I can't help it. It hurts real bad."

"Ugh! Why are men such babies?"

"I am not a baby!"

"Are you kidding? I've seen little girls tougher than you when it comes to this. Be a man...You are a man right?"

"Yes! I'm just a man with a very long hair, teeth, and finger nails!"

"And the tail?"

"Uh...Rare condition. Very rare."

"Well you can stop whining because I'm finished."

"Uh...Thank you for fixing my arm."

"You're welcome."

"You're very good."

"Thanks my...my father taught me. He was always afraid that I would hurt myself as a kid. He's always been so afraid that something might happen to me, I'm all he has."

"Well he still has your mother right?"

"I don't have a mother." Manny froze at her words. "I mean I did but she got really sick one day and...She died when I was six."

"You...You lost your mother when you were a kid?"

"Yes."

"I lost my mother when I was eight."

"You did?"

"Yes and my father too. They both drowned in a shipwreck at sea."

"I'm sorry you lost your parents."

"And I'm sorry you lost your mother...And I'm sorry about how I treated your father."

"You know I asked for that rose because...It was my birthday and I had to sell my present to pay for taxes and my father wanted to get me another one in it's place. I asked for a rose because we used to have a garden full of them."

"What was your first present?"

"A music box he made for my mother. It's all I had left of her but now it's gone for good, it got broken in the woods when he was attacked by wolves."

"I was wrong about him and you."

She gave him a smile, he smiled back.

"Did you see what I just saw?" Mrs. Chiquita said.

"Yes he said thank you, he apologized, and he admitted he was wrong." T.J said. "She has quite the influence on him."

"I knew they could get along if they tried but we must remember to take it slow. You can't rush things like true love you know."

"Si but worry not nature will take it's course."

"Let's hope so because if this curse doesn't break it's over for all of us." Jorge said. "Even if Manny doesn't break the curse he'll escape it by dying from old age. But as for us we can't age, five years have passed and not one of us have gotten any older since the day we were cursed except for Manny so if he fails we'll be this way forever and not even death can save us."

Back at that village Django and Sergio had scheduled a private meeting in the middle of the night with Chapuza. A twisted old miser who owned the local asylum.

"I don't usually leave the asylum in the middle of the night but the short, stupid one said you'd make it worth my while." He siad.

"Hey! I maybe short but I'm not stupid!"

"Shut up Sergio." Django said tossing a satchel of gold toward the miser.

"I'm listening." Chapuza said counting the coins.

"You know Frida right?"

"The town beauty with the smart mouth? What about her?"

"Well I have my heart set on marrying Frida but she needs some...persuasion."

"Turned him down flat." Sergio added only to have Django punch him.

"Anyway, everyone knows her father's a lunatic. Just the other night he was talking out of his head about some beast."

"Emiliano is harmless."

"The point is she would do anything to keep him from getting locked up."

"Even marry him." Sergio said.

"Don't make me hurt you!" Django snarled at him.

"Sorry!"

"So you want me to throw her father into the asylum unless she marries you." Chapuza said. "That is despicable. I love it!"

...

"My beautiful little girl." Emiliano said pitifully. "God knows what that monster could be doing to her! Well if no one will help me I'll find her myself! I won't lose her like I lost you Carmela! I swear it!"

He packed a satchel with a satchel then left for the woods. Shortly after leaving Django and his goons came by his house.

"Frida? Emiliano?" Django called bursting into their house.

"Oh well, looks like no one is home." Sergio said. By Django grabbed him.

"They'll have to come back sometime and when they do." He then threw Sergio into the snow. "Don't move from that spot until they return."

"But I-"

"If you do I'll feed you to the wolves! Now stay!"
