Beauty and the Beast ⋆n.h

Chapter Six

Cogsworth? that's a funny name. I though. He fiddled with the watch that was hung around his neck.

"What were you looking at?" he asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. "huh?" I questioned."Oh! the picture.." I pointed to it. His cheeks went pale and he let out a simple "oh.." I was expecting him to explain to me who she was but apparently not. He quickly turned around and walked into the kitchen.

He came back after a couple minutes.

"Master Niall said you can explore the house. All but the east side." He explained. I nodded and watched him go.i carefully stood up from the dinner table and pushed my chair in. I hurried up to my room and put on a sweater. I walked and began walking up the large set of stairs and down the long hallways.

I saw big room where parties were held and the big balcony were you could watch the sunset.

I finally came across the east end. That end of the house seemed dark and secluded. Should I look? Or not? [A.N or nah...] I looked around. Nobody seemed to be there. I walked through the big and wide door. The walls were covered with pictures of Niall and the girl I saw earlier. They looked happy in every photo. In the centre of the room was a table with a single roses on it. It was alive. It glowed a vibrant pink light. I slowly reached out to pick it up.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" A voice ran out. I spun around to find a furious Niall standing behind me. "You are forbidden to come to this room!!" He yelled. I felt my throat seal up. I tried to speak but nothing came out. Fear had taken over my system. I watched as a vein on his neck popped out as he yelled.

"Why are you still here?!" He yelled. "Get out!"

I sprinted out if the room, stopping at the edge of the stairs. I stopped to take a breath, its not everyday that I run. Im terrible at it, moving isn't really my thing.

I ran down the stairs, grabbing the nearest coat and cellphone. I checked around the living room for Mrs. Potts or Cogsworth. Neither of them around, I walked out the front door.

I wandered down the dirt road, breathing in cold air. Car would drive past me, most of the time ignoring my presence.
A red Truck drove by me and stopped a few meters away. I looked up to see 3 boys, around my age. They got out of the truck and walked over to me.

"What is a beautiful girl like you doing outside on a night like this?" One with light brown hair asked.

"J-just out for a walk.." I stuttered. He looped his arm around mine and began pulling me towards their car. I tried pulling myself away from his grip.
"It's ok. I can manage on my own. " I said. The boy shook his head with a grin plastered on his face. He stopped walking an turned to me. He cocked his head to one side and examined my body. I looked down at my worn out shoes.
All of a sudden, I felt my feet leave the ground.
"You're lighter than I though." Said the boy. He slung me over his shoulder and walked back to the car.
I kicked and scratched at his back.
"No! Let me go!" I yelled struggling again to get off of him. He chucked me into the back seat of the car and began to close it. I pushed my weight onto the door and tried to keep him from closing it.

I suddenly felt the force from the other side leave, making me to land face first on the dirt. I looked up to see the man held up by the collar. Niall was holding him up. His sleeve was covered in blood. Like someone had stabbed him.

"Don't you dare touch her again." He said and dropped him to the ground. I scurried toward Niall and stood beside him. We watched as the car drove off. Niall turned to me and eyed my body. "You're...ok." He mumbled and ran his hand through his hair slowly. I nodded backing away from him a little. He tried walking to me but instead I just stood in place watching as his body hit the ground.

A.N I'm sorry it's a little short and waaaayyy over due. Hope you like it :)
