The Coven

Belle finished her food and carefully wiped her mouth. She looked up at beast and said "Why don't you eat?"

"It's fine"she said. "I don't want to be the reason your not eating."she said

Belle watched him her hands folded in her lap

Belle sighed and looked at her hands. Her slightly rosey complected hands didn't glow in the dim of the room. She knew the others were listening "Mrs.Pots? Are there any roses around?"she asked

"Are there any others?"she asked

"Do you mind if I go into town for something in the morning?" she asked

"Thank you and am I to stay int he room I changed in?"she asked

Belle got up silently"Do you need me to help you clean up?"she offered

"You sure?"she asked walking over to her "I don't mind"

"Okay"she said and then headed back to the room where she had changed. She changed into a gown and then brushed her hair out.

Belle sat on the window seal and looked out at the moon. Her long brown hair over her left shoulder.

Belle jumped a bit when she heard the chair hit the wall. She desided that she should get some sleep so she got in bed and closed her eyes she slowly drifted into sleep

Belle dreamt that night. She dreamt of her and two beautiful browned headed kids. She was chasing them through a maze where the walls were covered with roses and ivy. They were laughing but it was distant. "Play with us Belle."said the little girl "Join us Belle" said the boy "We'll be your friends and never leave you all you have to do is play with us. Forever" said the little girl. Belle was still chasing them. The maze disappeared and a hill with rolling grass came into view. The little kids where swinging from a tire swing. She walked up to them and put on hand on each of their shoulders. They turned and then disppeared with a gust of wind and a distant laugh. Belle woke up with a scream.

Bell ran ehr fingers through her hair and then noticed Beast watching her. She blushed a deep red and asked "Did I wake you?"

Belle sat up in her bed and walked over to her bag and grabbed a ribbon. She tied her hair up and thens at down on the floor. "You can sit in here if you wish." she offered

"Do you mind if I ask you some questions? You can ask me some questions if you wish"she said

"Do you ever get lonely here all by yourself?"she wondered.

"I'm sorry"she said "Now then your turn"

"Because they have a one track mind and are afraid of what they don't understand."she told him sadly

"Have you always lived here?"she asked

"Oh I'm sorry"she said and waited for the next question

"Yes..."she said "It doesn't feel like it though. They just...."she trailed off

"Yes and they expect me to act like them and smile and wave and flirt and"she had no idea she was ripping at a pillow. "They try to push me into marring Leopold.He only want my money and in good with my father. He doesn't love me well you know what I don't need them. They don't even realize how much it hurts me. Those smiles are faker than George Washington's teeth. They don't care they really don't" she had ripped the pillow and the feathers where floating around. She realized she had ripped the pillow and blushed "I'm sorry I'll get you a new pillow i promise"she told him looking away

"Are you sure?"she asked
