Chapter 3: Keeping Promises

Kurt quickly ran inside and bolted the door shut. He took a moment to catch his breath before Burt came from the kitchen and saw that Kurt looked puffed out. Burt was worried that the beast was after them.

''Are you ok Kurt?''

''Yeah dad, I'm fine?''

There was a bit of silence between them before Burt spoke again ''So how did things go in town?'' he asked.

Kurt smiled ''Great, Mr. Shue the librarian gave me this book to keep.'' he said and showed Burt the book.

''That was nice of him. So why were you running?''

''Just getting away from that annoying Sebastian Smythe.''

''Oh.'' said Burt and went a little quiet.

Kurt went to put the book on a shelf and then followed his dad back in the kitchen ''Hey dad,'' he said and pulled out a chair and sat across from his father ''do you think I'm...odd?''

Burt gave Kurt a questionable look. ''My son? Odd? Where would you get an idea like that?''

''Oh, I don't know. It's just I'm not sure I fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to.''

''So, what about that Sebastian? He's a handsome fellow right?''

''He's handsome all right, but very rude and conceited and...Oh Dad, he's not for me!'' ''Well, don't you worry,'' Burt said while patting his son's hand.

-K&B-

As the day went by everyone had done their chores, Kurt was in the kitchen preparing a stew. Carole and Dani had picked all the vegetables from the garden, before Kurt washed, cut them all up, placed them in a pot, filled it with water, and placed it over the fire. As night came the family had gathered around the dinner table and having light conversation.

''Kurt this is the best stew you have ever made.'' said Finn gulping down the stew.

As the family continued to eat and have a little laugh they were interrupted by a knock at their door.

''It's very rude for someone to be knocking on our door during dinner.'' said Dani.

''You're right, let's not answer it.'' Burt said and began eating again.

''Dad somebody might be in trouble.'' Kurt said and when the knock came again he stood up to answer it. ''Yes, I'm coming.'' and walked over to the door.

Burt's face tensed up ''No Kurt, tell them to go away.''

Kurt turned around ''That's mean father, the poor soul could freeze to death on our steps. I must let them in.''

As Kurt lifted the beam from the door, Burt jumped up from his chair ''No Kurt.'' The minute the door went slightly ajar, a force flew it open and the cold breeze from the winter air blew in. Everyone stood up from the table and Dani ran over to Carole, who embraced her in a tight hug.

A tall figure stood in the door way but from the poor lighting and the hood that was over the figures head it was very hard to see the face.

''Kurt!'' But quickly grabbed his chair and held it in front of him for protection ''Kurt quick climb out the back window.''

''Has he come to harm us?'' asked Dani.

''Why is he growling?'' asked Carole.

''I waited for you'' the beast growled ''you didn't keep your word.''

''Leave us alone! How dare you barge in here! Now get out!''

Burt ran towards the beast with the chair still in his hands and started to hit the beast in the chest. After a few hits the beast wasn't fazed by it and then Burt swung the chair over the beast head but all it did was brake the wooden chair. As the beast stepped inside, Kurt and the others screamed while Burt stepped back. Carole and Dani fell to the floor holding each other.

Kurt was still standing by the front door, frozen on the spot. This time, with only the leg from the chair still in his hand Burt ran to the beast again, only this time the beast grabbed his arms and lifted him up.

''Father,'' Kurt cried out.

''I thought we had an agreement. You said I could have your son.'' said the beast.

''Father does he mean me?'' Kurt asked while taking a step back.

''Yes, only I never meant it. Take my life but please don't touch my son.'' Burt cried as the beast grip got tighter. The beast turned Burt around to face him.

''So be it. If that's the way you want it. You broke your word. Now you must pay the price with your life.''

Fear struck Kurt because he couldn't lose his father ''Father what is this monster talking about?''

''I stole your rose from his garden and he caught me.''

''You stole it?'' Kurt was shocked his father would never steal anything.

''I wanted you to have your rose so much. His garden was the only place I could find one. He wanted my life or your hand in marriage as payment.''

''I can't believe it.'' Kurt then grabbed on to the beast other arm ''Let him go!'' he begged.

''No Kurt you must ran away before this-'' Burt was cut off by the beast's hand wrapping around his throat

''Please! Let him go please!'' Kurt cried tears started to pour out of his eyes ''Please don't hurt him! This is all my fault. You see he stole that rose for me. Leave him be I will go with you.''

Burt managed to cry out in pain ''Argh no Kurt.''

Kurt held his hand tightly together ''I promise to marry you, and you can have your rose too. Just leave my father alone.'' he cried the last part out.

The beast threw Burt who smashed into Finn, and the rose on the table lost all its petals. After that the beast picked Kurt up and flung him over his shoulder and walked out the front door. Kurt pounded on the beast's back.

''Please wait! I need to see if my father is ok. Please let me go I need to say goodbye to him please.''

But the beast did not listen to Kurt's pleas. When they reached the castle, the beast climbed a flight over stairs and then turned to the first bedroom. He opened the door before placing Kurt on the bed and when he walked to the door he turned to face Kurt.

''When I come for you, you will be ready and join me for dinner. That's not a request!'' he yelled out and slammed the door shut and Kurt could hear the sound of the door being locked.

Even though Kurt's pleas had saved his father's life, it turned Kurt's life into a life of prison. As he laid on the bed crying for his family and his father, he also cried for the day the wedding was to take place when he didn't know.
