Belle considered her options. She vaguely remembered a dispelling enchantment, but it would take some time to speak and both hands free. Her both hands were free, and if she remained at enough of a distance from Beth she would probably not notice it. Beth, meanwhile, seemed to be all wound up in gloating over her victory and paid little attention to Belle. Belle stayed well back and began whispering the enchantment under her voice. She was nervous, but Beth never once turned around to see her waving her hands in patterns. Belle concluded the enchantment with a loud shout and fired off her magic into the group. Belle's shout surprised Beth, who turned around immediately and said:"Why you little brat, I oughta--" but was then grabbed on both arms, and another person held a hand in front of her mouth. Everyone had been dispelled before Beth could do anything, and King Garon said:"You will do nothing, foul witch. You have had your fun, and now we shall have ours. How would YOU like being turned into a kitten on a whim?" He called one of his own guards, who he instructed to tie Beth up and gag her, after which they returned to the castle. Beth was now tied up and cast down on the floor, with king Garon and his family standing around her. "I can assure you, witch, that two can play your little transformation game. Now, how shall we make you pay for this?"
