Beyond The Book [1] - Once Upon A Time [UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 2 - Secrets

[ORIGINAL CHAPTER]

The next minute I woke up in a place where I wasn't before it was light and I felt the warmth throughout my body I stood there for a moment looking around me until I felt an arm touch my shoulder so I turned around to see my gran stood there with a huge grin on her face happy to see me as usual. "What's going on" I said as I looked at the farm land around us. We lived in the city which was a lot different to here "what do you mean dear?" Gran asked confused "where are we?" I asked however this time as I looked out into the lane I felt different.

"We are home of course" Gran said which concerned me not of the place I was because I felt at home here but of how I got here one moment I was stood in the attic of our home and now I was here it looked as if I was somewhere from a family tale when I thought of that it finally clicked in my head, the book. Then I remembered this was the farm that I saw in the book on the first page this moment myself and my gran looking out onto the land, I never myself believe in magic but was there a chance the book transported me to another land.

I wasn't much of a book worm now I was as as child however after my parents died in a car crash when I was young I stopped reading, every night my mother would read me a book all the different fairytales but after there deaths I realised that fairytales weren't real and there was no such things as a happy ending. I stood there for a while thinking was it possible that the book was telling the truth that maybe I was from this land it showed this very moment after all.

Flashback
I was running down the castle halls I didn't have time to catch my breath I wasn't known as a hero in my land however this time was different I had to save Belle from her father as I took each step I could hear my heart beating through my chest but I had to keep going eventually when I reached her room the door was locked from the inside and her father stood guard outside so that no one could get in. "My lord what is going on?" I asked confused as my eyes darted everywhere.

However as I step forward the king put his arm out to stop me from getting in her father looked at me for a second I could there was something wrong just from his eyes "Belle my daughter is pregnant with your child" The king said which shocked me, myself and Belle had been set up to be married by our parents in order to restore the land I didn't care much for her but I was doing what needed to be done.

I tried to get past him once more but he wouldn't let me last which angered me which also co fused me at the same time because I didn't care for her so why was I feeling these emotions which caused me to grab him by the arm using all my strength and throwing him aside with such force it caused him to fly across the room landing on the floor as I saw him drop to the ground I rushed to the door and opened it before stepping inside. As I walked in I saw Belle laid down with a crowd of people around her bedside. I began to feel concern when I saw the look in there eyes "what's going on?" I asked but no one answered me which began to anger me.

As I began to get angry I could feel the blood boiling in my veins so I rushed over shoving everyone that was there out of my way I needed to see for myself what was happening. However as I saw her I realised that her father was telling the truth but she looked as if she could give birth any minute. She wasn't like this the last time I saw her that's when I heard the footsteps as her father stepped in the room "what did you do" I said angrily as I looked at him. "Belle will be better off if she never knows the truth" her father said which didn't make any sense and just confused me more.

"

in "It's the best for her I will not a bastard child in my family" he said furiously I tried not to look at him so I didn't punch him I knew belle wouldn't forgive him for this I stopped I had to calm myself down.

"she didn't look like this before" I said looking at the bump confused then I looked up to her father before he speaks "they sped up her pregnancy belle doesn't know they baby will be given to a family and she won't know" I had heard of witches in the enchanted forest being able to do this but why would anyone want to do this to belle she was kind and caring.

I started to get enraged because I didn't know what else to do "THIS IS MY CHILD TOO" I said breathing heavily as Belles father walked over and stood face to face with me trying to intimidate me " I can easily call off this wedding and stop the alliance of our kingdoms." He said and I knew it had to happen to please father I stood there shocked I had to choose between my family and the alliance or my child. I turned round to face belle with tears on my face before turning to face her father. "ok" I said agreeing before placing my hand on my sword and turning round and walking away.
