" p'freen!" Becky entered the kitchen and saw freen sitting and reading the books nam brought from the town.

" You're reading my..-" before Becky can finish nam came and stuffed her mouth with a dumpling.

" Wow.! Dumplings...? When did you learn to makke them.?" Asked becky chewing her the dumpling nam stuffed in her mouth.

" Yeah! When I went to the town I saw it and brought some for freen to try. But then...!"nam stopped talking when she saw freen in distress. She signalled Becky not to say anything about her books. Or anything that she told nam.

" Nam! That was not nice..!" Freen said.

Nam was surprised when she was scolded by freen.

" Princess!"

" Nam.! Bring her some water...!" Freen said with a smile.

Nam left. Although being a bit annoyed.

" You in some day she will get that you can bring water with your magic..!" Becky said.

Freen smiled while starting at becky.

" What? Why are you smiling?" Becky also couldn't help but smile.

" I didn't knew we could do such things.!" Said freen smiling.

"What things?"Becky smiled.

" You...! Come here...!" Said freen pulling becky into a embrace.

" Becky...!" Freen gave a peck On her head.

" But on a serious note. What about p'faye? She did something to me. I don't know what. But I felt like locked in a cage...!" Becky said with a sad face.

" Were you in pain?"

" I was when I saw her hurting you. I saw you fall from the sky.... I felt like I won't see you again...!" Said becky. Looking at freen's bright red eyes.

" I can't die...!" Said freen hiding her pain behind her smile.

" But you still feel pain, don't you?.." said becky cupping freen's face in her hand.

" Not anymore..!" Freen hugged her tightly again.

Freen then gave her a kiss on her forehead.
" P'freen! How were you when you were a kid?" Asked becky.

" Why are you curious about that?" Asked freen smiling.

" I just want to know! How you were before you got cursed."

" I wasn't cursed!"

" But that's what I heard."

" Humm! Is that what people said about me? That's not what happened. A goblin saw me and fell for me. I was just fourteen... He came to this castle. He came to the court of my father and demanded my hand for marriage. But my father the king refused his offer. His Royal highness forced him out. But he didn't knew he was a goblin. He came back in the middle of the night. When they everyone in our kingdom was sleeping he came into my room and abducted me. After eleven years returned me to this castle just like that. In the meantime he married me. When I came back my parents rejected me. My kindom rejected me. I was about to end my life. But then grandma saved me. She gave me this new life." Said freen. She obviously didn't revealed her whole truth. She still didn't wanted Becky to get scared after knowing the whole thing.

" I want to protect you Becky! I want to do anything and everything to keep you safe." Said freen after taking a deep breath.

" I love you so much my princess..!" Said becky smiling." I am so thankful to grandma for saving your life.. I always liked older people but I never thought I would like someone nine hundred years older than me...!" Saying this Becky laughed.

" And..! Laugh now! In few years you'll get old and I would still look like this...!" Freen smiled a victory smile.

Becky's smile suddenly disappeared.

" What happened?" Freen asked seeing Becky in distress.

" Ummm... Then I'll die before you do." Said becky. Then she smiled a bit and said..." Then it's good. I would die before you. I don't think I can leave without you."

" It's Stockholm syndrome right?" Asked freen

" How do you know that word?" Asked becky.

" I read it in a book nam brought... It was criticizing Disney movies. Beauty and beast. In that story bale fall in love with the beast like you fell for me. Because you don't have a choice." Freen's smile disappeared.
She pushed becky a bit and stood up.

" P'freen! It's not that... I really..love you...!" Said becky.

" I am sorry becky. You have your whole life in the town. And I ruined it. I really ruined it. For you. You have your whole life." Said freen. It's like she wasn't even listening to Becky who was pleading in the back.

" Freen wait....!" Becky came closer to freen. But freen quickly turned around and blew on her face. With the effect of freen's magic spell becky lost her consciousness. Freen caught her in time before becky fell to the ground.

Freen held Becky closely to her heart.

" I love you too much to let you go. But I have to let you go to save you. If you go back to the town you can live your whole life in peace. Without me. Without all of this pain." Freen cried her heart out holding becky close to her chest.

......

Freen was looking out to the town again. Already one day have passed. She was still looking for something. The lights in the town started to turn off one by one. Freen waited patiently for each and every light to turn on.

When she noticed that the one light that used to keep her up at night isn't on she sadly sighed.

" What if something very wrong happened to her. She must be in some kind of problem...! I can't even go out. If god gave me one chance to leave this forest I'll go out and look for her..!" Tear drops started to fall from her eyes.

What she didn't expect was faye to slowly descend outside of the window.

" Looking for something?"faye said with a smile.

" P'faye!"

Faye teleported inside. She sat on a chair and stared at freen.

" You are willing to fight me for that puny human. ?"

" I don't need to fight you anymore.." said freen looking away.

" Look at me when I am talking! What do you mean by you don't need to.?" Faye held freen's face and turned her around.

" She is gone. You'll never be able to find her. I sent her away....!" Said freen with a smile.

Faye looked at freen with dissatisfaction and anger. Faye's eyes turned deep red.

Outside the sky started to get darker with faye's rising anger.  Faye slowly moved towards freen and the weather outside got wilder as lighting struck on the castle. Winds started to blow.

.......

Becky outside the forest borders saw calamity falling over the castle. The wind and clouds around the castle spiraled into a beautiful looking disaster. Becky in her white teared up dress and black boots. With her trembling feet stood up and unable to remember what she was doing there felt scared as the storm got bigger and was approaching her.

The winds blew her dress into a mess. When she discovered a book flying in the air fell in front of Becky and the pages flipped into a stop at a page named.... beauty and the beast or capture and captive.....

Becky unable to recall anything. As a natural reaction ran in the opposite direction of danger towards the town downhill.
