He slowly got up, since he was an older man, and gaped at the flowers. Some were black with blood red petals, and some were black with stained red on them. He shivered from the cold and from the site of the roses. They creeped him out but he knew his daughter loved them, so he picked one out and put it in a safe pocket. He enters the mansion and it's very dark, Erie and cold. He notices food and starts to eat. The note card said that it was his and he was starving. He laid the rose on the table and a low growl came from behind him. He turned and screamed as he saw the beast.
The beast was dark with even darker eyes. His fangs were 5 inches long or longer, and the same went for his claws and talons. He had huge ears and even bigger horns. He demanded, ""You accept my hospitality, and yet you STEAL from me! I demand why!" He responds he only picked it for his daughter. "Please spare me beast. I picked it for my daughter. She is a dark entity and loves places like this. She is a kind soul and please do not kill me! I want to be with my daughters' again!" The beast sighs and drops the man. He ponders for a moment and replies, "If you give me your daughters' I will let you see them again, and you will not be my slave." The man agrees sadly, and the beast whistles. A bright red horse with black ancient markings appears in smoke. The old man gets on it and rides back to town. He tells his daughters' of the deal and the only one that went willingly with the horse was Belle. Because of this, the horse picked up Belle and put her on his back. Belle blushed but nodded to the horse that she understood. The horse screamed that darkly and ominous scream and fiery chains surrounded the other two. They screamed for their dad, but he only looked away. The last thing he heard was Belle saying, "I love you daddy. I always will. I understand the agreement, and if I can I will come back to you with my sisters'." The horse laughed and rode off with the two screaming girls and Belle.
The group arrives at the castle, where the beast awaited in the shadows. He nodded to his horse, and still not showing his appearance, walked away in the shadows on the stairs. The dumb sisters' thought he was some handsome evil lord that captured them because they were pretty and Belle was the prettiest girls' sister. They devised a plan while behind Belle's back. The molten chains still were burning their skin. Belle got off the horse gently and kissed the top of its muzzle. "Thank you kind horse, but I can walk from here. You must be tired from your walk." The horse nodded slowly to Belle, and walked away scaring the two rude sisters' on his way out.
"Come now. I haven't got all day." The Beast growled impatiently, but oh so sensuously. The sisters' swooned and Belle rolled her eyes. They walked into the place and before the stairs stood a black clothed table, with strange but beautiful objects; a mirror, a beautiful dress, and a black rose with blood stained petals. "Choose." The beast said in the same tone as before. One sister, the oldest named Michelle, picked the mirror and started primping thinking she was getting the royal treatment. The next oldest sister, whom was called Laura, picked up the rose, threw it on the ground and tried to crush it, but crushed Belle's hands instead. "Why would you destroy such dark elegance Laura?" Laura snorted and replied, "You worthless disease. How do you expect to live life with society, if you stay in the shadows of darkness?" "Dark is beautiful…just like a rose."
