His Beauty & Her Beast

Chapter 5

ELAINE

My eyes turn black as my wings grow violently as I sore to where Elaine was seeing her in the arms of that grotesque creature sent death-like waves to radiate off me knocking some unconscious. That's when I heard it "Together for all eternity."

Those words caused a venomous, dark, and vile growl to rise through my chest the screams of people were heard causing the ground to shake from the sheer force. His fangs then pierced her skin which caused what's mine to scream. I let out death like a roar at that very moment.

My eyes stared at one person and one person alone....

HER

*Flashback Over*

she was truly... captivating. Moments pass as her heartbeats begin to quicken slightly. Her mesmerizing eyes glow as she freezes interacting with my eyes as she watches me from afar.

She slowly removes the sheets off her delicate body and gently stands but dare more move closer.

Beginning to remember the exact events happening I take in a deep breath. As I stand watching her eyes grow wide at my height.

I stand only inches from her.

I watched her closely as she gently lifted her hand to brush through my hair. oddly enough I felt my body vibrate....

It's true then...

Elaine's P.O.V

As I slowly woke up, I was once again wrapped in warm sheets, I slowly sat up as I see the beast watching from afar once again.

As time passed and he was now only inches away I felt my heart begin to race and my breaths become more uneven.... Until I touched him my breaths began to regulate.

"So... gentle" I whisper to myself not intending for him to hear. His body instantly becomes more rigid as he swiftly moves away from my touch, my fingertips left cold.

Just then a wave of emotion hits me as I remember what happened. My heart begins to race as I begin to hyperventilate as I look around in a panic.

"Calm down" The beast began to slowly repeat.

"H-He's. dead he's gone ... he... it's all my fault... I should have died not him" I cry out as the beast's arms immediately catch my falling body. "Elaine!" He repeats but louder "please.... breath," he said slowly as my tears slip down my face.... "He's... he's not coming back, is he?" I ask looking deep into his eyes... the answer I seemed was only a pure lie.... His silence broke me even more as I let out a loud cry.

"Let me show you to your room," he said as I was surprised at his words.

"M-my room?" I questioned as he stood and opened the door revealing an older woman "My lord her bath has been prepared as requested" she bowed then left us as my stare at the beast never broke once.

"Follow me" he deeply spoke changing character almost immediately, I dared not speak as his words were enough to silence me... as I walked down the long and narrow hall the walls of the enchanted castle captivated my eyes. Never had I imagined being near a castle as grand as this.

"Here is where you'll be staying, wash up and join me for dinner," he said just before leaving.

I would burden them here if I stayed. It would be best if I left. "I... I wish to leave" I spoke as I looked down not knowing what his reaction would be like.

He slowly turned "and go where? If I may ask" a ping hit my chest at his words as I felt my body shake as I remembered the village and how they exiled me... the death of... Ben along with the Vampire King...

"I don't know... "I say in defeat he simply nodded and closed the door behind him as I turned to see the room, within a second, I had forgotten about the village.

I sigh to myself, I must be optimistic this is a chance to change my life.... Everything's going to be fine Elaine.

I smile gently as I slowly take in the room around me it's so... enchanted and beautiful it was truly breathtaking. The bathroom was as though I had entered a mystical world the air was fresh and heavenly, magic lights of pinks, purple, blue and orange flowed around me. I gasped as I feel the water pulling me in. I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment then slowly opened them to see I'm underwater but not drowning. I let out a giggle as a cute small creature came up to me and kissed my cheek.

"Hello, there" I giggled once more as I was gently raised by the water to the surface. Bubbles gathered around me and cuddled my body like a warm hug.

"Hello, Ms. Kendrick. We are the Fairies of the Swills, Master told us to treat you with great care" a sweet echo-like voice said from around me as they washed my hair with their magic.

"This is so magnificent" I watch in awe as the magic glows around me.

I then feel a refreshing wave of airflow towards me. I open my eyes to see that I'm no longer in the magic water but on a soft and fluffy cloud-like cushion.

A mirror floats in front of me as I gasp seeing that I'm not only wearing a beautiful dress but also my hair was perfectly curled and pulled into a high ponytail.

"Thank you," I say gently as I hear the fairy's giggle. "Our master awaits you," they said in unison as I'm being carried out the washroom door and back to my room.

As I open my door the corridor looks rather dark and ominous sending a shiver down my spine. I feel a sudden nervousness flow over me as I gently step out of my room. I gasp as I saw floating light begin to glow one by one down the hall. I follow the glowing lights slowly as it leads me to two large, enchanting doors that slowly open.

My eyes grow wide as I see an array of delicious gourmet cuisines placed along a very elegant table. "Good evening" I gasped as I turn to see the beast standing only a few feet away from me. "Good evening," I say gently as he smoothly holds out his hand as I place mine on his I feel a spark run through my body. His eyes change colours immediately from their normal amber to a beautiful violet.

Why do his eyes change colour... and what do they mean?

He then gently places a kiss on my hand that surprises me for a moment.

"You look lovely," he said with a husky voice as he guided me to the table.

*After dinner*

We sat in silence as his eyes continued to observe me. As I open my mouth to speak, I hear his rough voice interrupt me. "Follow me" he states as he gets up and walks.

After moments of walking an odd feeling begins to linger over me as the lights begin to flow as we walk down the long corridor.

"W-where are we going...." I nervously say.

He stops as I gently bump into him as I step back immediately.

He spoke words that I could not understand.

The doors began to shudder as I felt as though the floors beneath my feet began to shake. I let out a slight scream as I quickly help his arm gently.

His body tensed.

I immediately pulled back.

My eyes began to widen as I slowly walk into the enchanted room. Small light ferries began to fly around us. The light shined as though it was the day "how fascinating" I said as I walked towards the flowers and smelt the most divine scent. "How is this possible?" I ask as I continue to look in awe. Little did I know the beast himself was right behind me until I turned to see him. I gasped slightly only to have his arms wrap around me.

"Such a curious little creature," he said as he moved a hair from my face... we stayed in each other's embrace until I gently pushed him from my body immediately feeling his warmth disappear, a growl was rippled through the air gently as the magical creatures ran and disappeared. My eyes grew wide...

It was as though I had forgotten....

He is the beast.
