Beauty & The Beast (L.T)

Chapter 2

*2 days later*

RING RING! I woke up to my phone ringing in my ear. "Hello?" "Yes, is this Victoria Bennet?" the lady on the phone asked. "Yes it is, how can I help you?" "Well I was calling to see if your aunt Tammy would be at the fair today?" "She hasn't showed up? She left two days ago to get there on time." I began to worry. "No she hasn't." "Oh well I'll try to get ahold of her." "Thank you, have a nice day, dear." "You too." I started to get dressed after I hung up and gathered some supplies into my over tho shoulder leather bag and got on my bike to go look for Tammy.

After about an hour I enter the forest that separates the village from the road towards London. I've been in this forest for two hours already when I come across our car. It looks like it broke down for good. Great, that means Tammy started walking. I spot a trail and it looks like she may have taken it. I follow the trail until I end up at the gates of the abandon castle. She most likely went in there for shelter. I notice the gates are already open so head inside. Once I'm at the door of the castle I knock on the door but it slowly opens. Now I know to never trespass, but this place doesn't even look lived in, so I being my naive self walk inside. The foyer is huge with two sets of stairs and candles lit everywhere. "HELP!" I jump at the scream. That's Tammy! "HELP" I head to the stairs on the left where the yelling is coming from. I take them two at a time, when I get to the top I see several holding sells. But only one has some on in them. I cross the room to see my aunt on the floor looking cold and sick. "Tammy!" I squeak! "Victoria Go! Leave this place before its too late!" "No, I won't leave with out you!" I cry.

"I have to get you out of here." As I said that my aunts face went pale, paler then what it already was, if that's possible. "What?" "Don't turn around?" "It might be because of me, love." A new voice replied. From what I could tell it was a mans voice. "Now who are you?" the man asked as I still had my back to him. I turned around and I almost lost my breathe. The man couldn't have been more then a few years older then me, with scruffy yet amazing brown hair. He had piercing blue eyes that could freeze you in you spot. He was wearing a black shirt with black skinny jeans. "Let her go and we'll leave you forever." I replied. "Tsk,Tsk that wasn't what I asked you, darling." The man took a step closer to me, as I stepped back so I could hold my aunts hand. "Its Victoria, if you must know, now please let her go?" I asked. "Now I cant do that. You see she's my prisoner, she trespassed onto my land. I don't tolerate trespassers." Now I thought of the only solution that I could. "Wh-what if I stayed instead?" "What?" he asked. "What if I were to stay in her place?" "You would do that. To give up your freedom?" " To save my aunts life, yes I would. She's the only family I have left, I would do anything for her." " Deal." He said . He came closer to unlock the door to the cell. "Victoria, I wont let you do that!" " I'm sorry Tammy. Go-" Before I could finish she was already gone along with the man. I want to the window of the cell to see him put her into a black range rover the sped off. I fell to the floor crying, I'm never going to see her again.

Louis's Pov

"Take her to the village , Mikey." "Yes, sir," my driver then took off with the woman inside. I headed back inside the castle. As I enter Harry my best mate comes up to me. "Lou, don't you think that if the young lady is going to be here for awhile that maybe we can put her in a more comfortable room?" "Yes Harry, I was going to take her to one of the rooms in the east wing." "Ok" I left Harry there and headed back up to the tower where the intriguing girl was left. When I came up to the cell I saw her curled up with her head in her knees crying. I'm pretty sure i heard say that she didn't get to say goodbye, I almost felt guilty. I'd be lying if I didn't say she was beautiful. "Well are you just going to sit there and cry all night or are you going to come with me to your room?" "My room? But I thought this is where I was going to be staying?" " Would yo rather stay in the tower?" I asked through gritted teeth. She was getting on my nerves, I have a short temper or that's what my friends say. "No" "Well Then follow me. My names Louis, Louis Tomlinson." "Oh your-" "Yes I am" it was silent after that. We headed down the stairs i was in front, while she stayed behind me.

"So since your going to be here for awhile, have a few rules." I notice her nod from the corner of my eye. "Rule 1 you are to join me for dinner every evening at 6:00 clock, no exceptions. Rule 2 under no circumstances are you to go to the west wing." What's in the west-" "That's none of your concern!" I raise my voice at her and she shrinks back. "Other than that you are free to explore the castle and the grounds with in the gate. Understood?" I stop and turn to face her. " "Yes." "Alright then, this is your room. I'll send in my stylist so he can get your measurements for clothes." I leave with out another word and shut her door. "Zayn!" I yell and he comes out of his work station. Go up to the Blue room. I need you to measure the girl for new clothes to wear while she's here with us." Yes, Louis. I'll go up there now. " He grabs his tools and heads towards the room.

I walk into the kitchen to see Niall and Luke trying to figure out what they will be cooking for us tonight. Ever since I was cursed my gang and I went into hiding, but we used to be the most feared gang in all of England. " Whats for dinner boys?" "We are going to make Peri Peri Chicken, Lou!" Niall beams. "Ok, just make sure you make enough for nine instead of eight." Nine?" Luke asks. "Yes, my prisoner will be joining us as well." "Lou do you think she will be able to break the curse?" Niall asks. "I don't know, Ni." I left to go get ready for dinner. I hope she is the one.
