Marlee Belle Dreamed That The Beast Was Dying

When Marlee Belle awoke the next morning she found herself waking up in her bedroom. It was hers because her things were there. She was surprised that her family had moved to a new home, but she smiled to herself thinking that her father had followed her advice and had used the gold the Beast had given him wisely. She stretched and yawned, but soon got out of bed. She was so very anxious to see her family, especially her father.

She had brought Stashia back with her so she called to her and said, "Come along, Stashia, let's go find my family. They are probably glad to see me since I've been gone for so long."

Sadly to say, Marlee Belle's sisters were not glad to see her at all. They once again were jealous of her beautiful clothes and the jewelry that she wore. Even though they both were about to get married, they still couldn't be happy for their sister. It made no sense to Marlee Belle, she was the one that had put her life in danger to save her father. Her sisters said that it was all her fault because she loved flowers. If their father hadn't stopped to pick a rose for her none of this wouldn't have happened in the first place.

Marlee Belle had brought lovely gifts for her family and told her sisters that she had missed them and wanted to be there to see them get married in their beautiful gowns. She told them that she just wanted them to be happy. She had given one of her sisters a diamond tiara to wear in her hair on her wedding day. She looked so beautiful, but she didn't even tell Marlee Belle thank you.

She gave her other sister a beautiful yellow dress with a diamond tiara as well as a diamond and gold walking stick to wear for her wedding. She didn't say thank you either. Both sisters were not a bit happy that she had come back to their home.

One night while Marlee Belle was sleeping she dreamed that the Beast was dying. He was all alone on the castle grounds. She woke up with a start and ran downstairs to find her brothers. She said that she needed to return to the Beast's castle because he was dying and needed her. They told her that she couldn't go back there. Her brothers did love her and wanted to protect her from the Beast.
Marlee Belle got very angry and knew then and there that she loved the Beast regardless of how he looked. She had to go back and save him.
