Chapter 7: BelleThe horse neighed continuously as I rode it faster into the woods. My horse was far ahead of Gaston's. Last night was quite risky as we broke into the stable to steal Chester, the security alarm had gone off the moment we opened the door to escape. Some officers chased after us for a while but they gave up after they realized we weren't making a halt. I had stubbornly suggested we go ahead in search for papa that night though Gaston was against it he later agreed on the condition that he would come along with me and I readily cooperated. Chester neighed and jerked vehemently bringing me out of my reverie. I tried to hold on tight to Chester but he kept jerking back and fought violently like he was scared of something. I lifted my head to look around the surroundings and realized that further ahead into the woods was pitched dark. I smoothed the horse's head to calm it down and jumped down the horse in my brown boots. I was about to take a step when a hand held me bac
Chapter 8: BelleA sweet aroma penetrated my nose as it awoke my senses of smell. I squirmed on my bed and inhaled more of the sweet aroma but immediately jumped off the bed when the memories of last night's ordeal came rushing back to me. I panicked and accidentally bumped into the breakfast table by the bedside. I cringed as I anticipated the crashing sound but instead, I heard a burst of tiny laughter. I knitted my brows in confusion and looked around the room but there was no one. Surprisingly enough, the breakfast table was intact and so was its content. Before I passed out, I thought I saw a candlelight move and now, I was hearing voices in a room that was void of humans except me. I let my gaze travel around the room admiring it. The room was so big, my eyes couldn’t take in everything. The walls were painted grey, while the curtains were black. It was obvious to me from the decor that it was a man's room but what man?“Did Gaston take me home?” I thought but then canceled th
Chapter 9: Adam/BeastThe sun had gone down and the curse had lifted. I was in my human form again and I felt it was the perfect time to go see the maiden. My plan was perfect. The stallion had gone back and it brought forth the little thing’s daughter just like I had planned.She had walked right in screaming in my castle like the imposter she was. When I got to her, I wanted to bare my teeth at her and see how much of a coward she was. But for some reason I couldn’t understand, my heart flipped over the moment I saw her walking into my castle. There was something about her, I couldn’t quite put a finger on it but it was there. And this melted my conviction. I couldn’t be mean to her just like that… so I did what I thought was best. I asked Lumiere to lock her up in one of the upper bedrooms.Now that the sun was down, I could go to her. I wanted her to see me in my real form – and not the one the witch had cursed me in. I took a long bath and threw on my best shirt and pants. I stoo
Chapter 10: Adam/Beast“How dare you!” I growled as I pinned her to the wall with my hand tightly holding around her neck. No living being had tried raising their hands to me and this maiden had not even a single ounce of fear in her!Rather than plead and beg for mercy like the others before, she seemed to be lost in thoughts as she stared at my reddened eyes. Her lack of fear was weakening my anger. She was doing something to me and I could feel it.I lessened my grip on her neck and watched as she panted hard, trying to catch her breath. The way her chest moved up and down in a rhythmic motion was too enticing to ignore. My fingers developed a mind of their own and they began trailing along her neckline.Goosebumps appeared wherever my fingers touched and her breathing became ragged as she bit down on her bottom lip.My cold hands were warmer on her pale skin and I found myself enjoying it. I moved a finger to her chest and slowly, I began to circle her breasts. Before I could move
Chapter 11: Belle“Will you release my papa?” I asked as he reached the doorknob. The waves of pleasure that had washed over me were finally over and the first thing on my mind after my guilt was my papa.He turned and an evil smirk sat on his face. “My offer still stands. Sleep with me and I shall release him,” he said before turning the door knob open. My hot gaze fell on his retreating back and at that moment I wished I could turn them to lasers so he could get burned. How evil was this irresistible man? Was he the beast? How could he want me to sleep with him before he released my papa? What had gotten into men these days?A small vice reminded me of Gaston asking for the same thing but I defended him in my mind. I have known Gaston for years. He had enough time to look at me and desire for me but this man… we barely met a few torturous minutes ago. And in those minutes, we argued, we made out and he almost killed me. What sort of man was– "Oh and this is just the beginning my l
Chapter 12: BelleAn angry growl snapped us from our father-daughter reunion and I immediately knew it was the Beast. He must have found out the strange guy had snuck me out of the room.Shit!I needed to find a way out of here before he got to us. “Papa we need to leave here,” I said as I started pulling him with me but he resisted. I turned to him with a confused glare. “Papa, what are you doing?”"I think you should get going Belle. I don't want that monster to get a hold of you. He is very cruel, I tell you, my child," Papa said and nudged me towards the dungeon door. He was shaking all over as he nudged me away but I held both of his hands and stopped him.“No, papa. I came here to get you and I won’t leave without you. Let’s get going!” I said through my teeth. I hadn’t worked this hard only to get here and then run away like a coward. “I will not leave you behind, papa!” I added with determination."No Belle, you have not seen this creature. It will not think twice before devou
Chapter 13: Belle"Where are you taking me to?" I asked, trying to act brave even though I was scared as shit on the inside. "No questions! You promised to do anything to save your papa, so let's go!" The Beast growled and with that, it started pulling me away from my Papa’s arms."Wait, what about my papa?" I eagerly asked."He would be transferred to a better room until you have fulfilled your promise!" He muttered as we walked further away. I turned back and saw as one of the creatures took a hold of my papa and teleported out of the dungeon."You had better keep to your promise!" I snapped at the Beast beside me."I could say the same to you," the Beast said and scoffed, picked me up on his shoulder like a sack of empty grain, and left the dungeon.He took me back to the rooms upstairs and opened the very one I was in earlier. He dropped me unceremoniously to the bed and without saying a word, he walked out again. I heard the door bolt up this time and I knew there was no way for
AdamI could have dragged her to my study but I needed a moment to myself. I needed to calm my racing heart or I could hurt her by wanting to take too much at a time. When I had walked to her room last night and I didn’t find her there. My heart raced so much I feared she might have gone.I have never felt so much anger like I had experienced the previous night. Which was why when I found her in the dungeon I couldn’t control the monster. It had a mind of its own. It wanted to reprimand her for trying to run from us. But deep down, her action was another tickle to my stone heart. I never thought humans could be selfless. She had the opportunity to run but she didn’t take it. She went back for her father. All through the night this had disturbed me. I was intrigued by her. I wanted to know what sort of human she was for she was too different to be made of the same material as the rest of them.I walked to my study and lowered myself to a seat.Initially, I wanted to find a way to sleep
