Chapter 1: The Enchanted Mansion

The sunrays shinned through the small gap in the bedroom, onto the pillow case where a young girl slept. This was how she usually woke up in the morning... Or if Pops suddenly does something stupid causing her to wake up in a cranky mood.

Her red fire like hair shinned against the sunbeam that hit her head. Turning over, you could see her pale porcelain like face... Gorgeous to any mans eyes. They'd call her belle sometimes - which meant beautiful in French (Same with Beau but that's the males version).

The young female opened her eyes and groaned lightly. Her eyes were bright blue, just like sapphires. It was a Friday morning, no school for a while due to the pipes breaking and flooding all the classrooms.

The small female moved her blanket off her body and just laid there for a few moments. She loved to sleep, it was her favorite time of the day. She sat up in the bed and yawned, scratching her dandruff flaked hair. She fell back down and groaned again. She hated it! Who would want to leave there bed! If anything, she was happy enough to stay a sleep... Maybe even marry her bed!

Life was truly unfair.

After thirty minutes of not wanting to leave the room, she made her way to the bathroom and walked in on something no girl would want to turn away from.

Cub. All grown up. His muscles showing due to his top being off course, His pecs, arm muscles, his six pack... And than that v-line... Flaky blushed and quickly closed the door. "GOD Cub, do you ever lock the door in the morning?!" She yelled at him as a chuckle came from the bathroom. "We're brother and sister, it doesn't matter."

He always said this to her. However, everyone knew how much Cub loved Flaky. Just not in the way siblings or cousins would. It was the same every morning, Flaky would go into the bathroom and end up seeing him stood there naked whilst brushing his teeth.

Flaky went back to her room and closed the door behind her. She was going to head into town early this morning and go to the book store to collect her favourite book and read it. She loved to read, it kept her imagination running with so many different things.

Her favorite book had to be about a girl who lives with a savage beast who comes to fall in love with him. She didn't know why, but it was amazing!

Hearing the bathroom door unlock, Flaky left her room in her long beige jumper, black mini shorts, long black socks with her white converse on. She tied her hair back into a pony tail and placed her glasses on for reading.

Flaky made her way into the bathroom to brush her teeth and fixes her messy tied up hair. The little red head could never properly wash her hair, she would always end up with it covered in dandruff after every wash.

Despite this, people still called her Belle. After brushing her teeth and fixing her pony tail, she went down stairs and left the house. "Flaky!" Called Pops as she turned to see him at the door way. "I'm picking Cub up from football (soccer for the Americans) later on so dinner will be made and placed in the fridge." He told her.

"Don't worry about it pops, I'll get something to eat when I'm out." Smiled Flaky and off she went into the town.

Her hair bounced side to side as she walked, her hips slightly moving side to side as well as she hummed. She didn't like coming into the the town, there was always too many people who would talk about her. Her town was quite small, not many people lived there.

The towns name? Well its called Happy Tree Town due to the large tree that's directly in the town square. Apparently when you sit under there, you get this warm feeling like you would around friends or family.

Flaky loved to sit under the tree, she would sit there all day and read a book... Until at least one guy makes his way over and tries to flirt with her.

Flaky hated that. She wasn't a fan of love and things to do it with it, it always made her feel sick. Its why she doesn't have friends either, she hates the idea of being hurt by anyone... Its why she isn't close with Cub either.

Once entering the book shop, Flaky waved to the young man behind the desk called Lumpy. He had no common sense what's so ever, sure he knew a thing or two when it came to books or food... But that's probably about it.

Lumpy is also known as "The Towns Fool" or "The Village Idiot" by many of the towns people. It was funny, many people dislikes Lumpy but some just couldn't keep their eyes away from the young man.

Flaky looked for the book in the shop as Lumpy watched her. "Watcha' lookin' for Flaky?" Asked Lumpy as he got up from behind the desk.

"Just that book I always get." Flaky responded as Lumpy shook his head. "Sorry someone withdrew that book... Um... Beauty and the Beast?" He said as she looked at him.

"Who?" She asked him as he walked over to his desk, opening a small book. "Hmm... Oh the hero, Splendid."

Hero her ass, that jerk is constantly trying to make her date him. She's surprised he hasn't tried to force her into doing something... Well... You know what I mean. Flaky shivered.

She knew why he did it, just to get her attention and make her get the book. Most likely a catch saying "I'll give you the book of you date me." is what that dummy would do.

"Okay, thanks for the help Lumpy..." Flaky said as she left the shop. "I'll call you when its back!" Shouted Lumpy to her as she closed the shop door behind her. (Splendid as Gaston... Disco bear would of been funnier but nah.)

Flaky made her way through the streets. She wasn't going to visit that jerk. Nu-uh! No way! She hated him! He was snobby, obnoxious, arrogant and sleazy. Her stomach turned on the idea of even touching him!

She grew up with Splendid, they used to be friends until he developed feelings for the red head. Sure she was fine with that, but she didn't return his feelings because she didn't feel the same way. Since then, he became a jerk.

"Flaky!" Yelled a voice which made her shiver. She turned around slowly to see Splendids follower running to her. His name was Toothy. Everyone knew he was gay for Splendid, it was obvious... Splendid was just too stupid like Lumpy to even notice.

"What is it this time Toothy?" Asked the small female as she looked at the purple haired boy. He gave a toothy grin, his buck teeth standing out as he began to speak.

"Splendid is coming this way-" with that Flaky just walked off making Toothy gasp. "Hey I'm nit finished!" He complained as he grabbed her wrist.

"Don't touch me." Flaky yanked her wrist away from him and spoke. "Tell that jerk that I'll never date him, also he can keep that book for all I care." She said to him and with that, she left as Toothy pouted.

"Oh Toothy, where is my red rose that blooms for my heart, the sun that matches my shine?" Called Splendid as he walked over, the females of the town gasping at him.

EVERYONE wanted a piece of him... Yes, men did as well. Well, that's what Splendid thought after all.

"Sh-She just left! She said to keep the book for all she cared-" "She cared?! Oh my I've moved up in her love life!" Splendid cheered as Toothy sighed shaking his head. "No no, she said she would never date you."

"I will have her Toothy, she will be mine. A fair maiden like her is perfect for a guy like me! Splendid! She's the oxygen to my lungs... The flame to my fire and she will also be my wife!" Shouted Splendid as they made there way to the café.

A few hours later...

Pops closed the door to the house and locked it. He knew Flaky was reading away in the town and if she wanted to get inside, she'd use the spare key that's under the flower pot.

Pops left through the front gate and into his car to pick up Cub who was two towns away, playing a football match with his team. Starting the car, Pops placed his seat belt on and began to drive. He didn't know how far he had to drive, but he did need to pick up gas.

Driving through the dark forest, Pops was singing away to an old song called Bright Eyes by Artgarthunkle. Pops liked his old music, he wasn't into the new songs that many young people sang.

Half way through the song, the car began to slow down until it finally stopped. "Huh?" He looked at the gas tank to see it was red. "Aww no..." He got out his car and looked around. It was sunset around now, even though it was around four in the afternoon... Well, it was winter.

Pops wondered around the frosty forest, looking for any cell reception for his phone. That's when he got lost. He didn't know where his car was and it was becoming darker. He gulped and made his way straight a head.

With luck, he found a big house... Well, mansion. It was dark, dull and looked rather evil. He walked through the gates and sneezed. He shivered from how cold it had gotten and ran over to the door. He knocked twice, just to see it was open.

"H-Hello?"
