Beauty and the Demon

Chapter 6

Once Vaggie was free from her cell, she rushed over to Charlie to reason with her.

"Charlie, listen to me! I'm old. I live my life--" but when she was talking to Charlie. Alastor interrupted and grabbed Vaggie to send her to the pallequin.

"Wait!" cried Charlie.

"No! Please, spare Charlie!" begged Vaggie while Alastor carried her.

"She's no longer your concern!" Alastor said.

When Alastor went outside he threw Vaggie in a moving pallequin.

"Take her to the village!" Alastor ordered.

The pallequin did as Alastor said as it took Vaggie away straight to the village. While it left, Charlie saw everything through the cell window. She became to cry for not being able to see her loving friend again. Once Alastor returned to the dungeon to see Charlie in the cell.

"You didn't even let me say goodbye! I'll never see her again! I didn't get to say goodbye." Charlie sobbed.

Alastor felt guilty when he saw Charlie sobbing and crying in her cell. Angel showed up in the dungeon. Alastor noticed him.

"Excuse me, your highness. Since the girl is going to be with us for quite some time, I was thinking that you might want to offer her a more comfortable room." suggested Angel.

Alastor thought it was a good idea. He unlocked the cell. Charlie noticed the unlocked door sound and looked at Alastor.

"Come. I'll show you your room." said Alastor calmly.

"My room? But I thought.." asked Charlie surprisedly.

"You wanna stay in the tower?" asked Alastor.

"No." replied Charlie.

"Then follow me, dear." said Alastor.

Alastor led Charlie to a guest room while he was holding candle as a light. The guest room was beautiful, luxurious and comfortable. Charlie went inside her guest room anyway.

"I hope you like it here. The castle is your home now. If there's anything you need, my servants will attend you. And you can go anywhere you wish, except the West Wing." informed Alastor tenderly.

"What's in the West Wing?" asked Charlie curiously.

"It's forbidden! When I said it's forbidden, I mean it!" Alastor yelled as he slammed the door.

"Hey, he didn't have to yell at me." Sonic thought to himself with disapproved face. She looked through the window and it snowed outside despite it was October.

Meanwhile inside the village tavern where Harold sat on his armchair by the fire, still felt angry, dismissed and humiliated.

"Who does that girl think she is. She's tangled with the wrong man. No one says no to Harold Von Eldritch! Dismissed, rejected, publicly humiliated. Why, it's more than I can fucking bare!" Harold muttered angrily.

"More beer?" asked Blitzo while trying to cheer Harold up with another glass of beer.

"What for? Nothing else at all! I'm completely disgraced!" said Harold.

"Who, you? Nonsense! I have to pull yourself together, Harold!" said Blitzo.

To be countinue....
