BELLE'S POV
"Agathe, what are you doing here? Why weren't u at the ball? You nearly scared us. Adam and I thought you were the enchantress."

Agathe suddenly paled for a moment but then took a breathe.
"About that Belle. I was hoping I could stay the night at the palace. Maybe even a month until I could find myself a better home. Please?"

Adam hesitated but then said, "Very well. Any friend of Belle is a friend of mine. Just as long as you don't steal my rose away from me" Adam spun me around all while kissing my cheeks, neck, and finishing with a long passionate kiss.

Agathe sighed in happiness. "Oh young love. Adam you are a very lucky man. Belle I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. He's a real softy towards you. But goodness, I thought he was gonna cry an ocean as soon as he saw me. "

Agathe and I laughed as Adam whined.

"Oh come on. I'm a MAN!!! I'm suppose to protect my wife"
I teased him, "Oh no Adam. You're a beast"
Adam pouted and I just hugged him. I'm such a wife.

Dinner Time

Adam and I were dressed in our normal clothes. It was such a relief to be in comfort clothes and not elegant ballroom stuff. True, it may look beautiful. But it is awful to wear such fancy clothes for so many hours.

It was weird though. Agathe was wearing a gold dress and hood. She looked a bit rosier and glowing with health. I wonder if she had stolen the clothes or found them somewhere abandoned in the castle. After all, I didn't know about the castle myself for many years and we both lived in the village.

"Agathe, I dare say you look healthier since the last time I saw you. I'm sorry I left you. Was Gaston awful towards you?," I asked.

"Well after I rescued your father, Belle, Gaston called me an "old hag" and I was this close to throwing my jam jar at him, the one you gave me"

I gasped. That horrible man. He was the monster and I wished then and there that the enchantress could have casted a curse on him.

Adam was shocked too. "And they say he was a war hero?! Belle no wonder you called him a monster. He sounds no better than I was towards you when we first met. How could you love me?"

I saw my love's eyes. He had tears once again, but they were blue and full of regret. He was remembering how beastly he was before I loved him. Luckily it was Agathe who spoke to Adam.

"Prince Adam, stop crying. You should cry tears of happiness being free from the curse. Plus unlike Gaston, you saw how wrong you were and you changed. Gaston, well he was blinded by his own vanity. Even if he had been under the same curse as you, he would have remained a beast forever. And not because he wouldn't find a girl to love. It be cause of his own cruelty. Adam, Belle loves you. And I'm glad enough of your own kindness towards me."

Agathe gently held his left hand while I held his right. Adam smiled and realized he was loved.

"Well now, I don't want to cry an ocean."
I laughed and so did Agathe.

"How is the tomato soup Agathe? Is it good enough?" I asked.
"Oh it's much better than just baguettes and jam. I do wish I had a better place to sleep though."
Adam said, "Belle, now that we are together, I was wondering if you sleep with me in my bedroom. It's... ummm...it's kinda scary without you. And lonely. Could we keep each other company?" ( See what I did there? Beauty and the Bieber) .

I laughed and just nodded my head.

Later that night

Agathe's POV 
"Here are Night gowns for your stay. I hope you sleep well. If you need anything, you need to just ask. Goodnight Agathe," Plumette said.

Then she left the room.

"Well I guess I must go now. It's weird that you're sleeping in my old bedroom. It's lovely isn't it? I hope it's better than sleeping in the rain," Belle said.

"It's a comfort Belle. Goodnight. Thank you for your kindness"

Belle just smiled sleepily and went away to Adam's bedroom.

Oh god. What Belle said at dinner. Casting a spell on Gaston. And what I said about him and Adam being quite different. What was I going to do?

How was I suppose to tell Adam that I'm the one who cursed him?! And Belle. What would she think knowing that I'M the.....

The ENCHANTRESS
