I don't own Dan or Phil
Hey Pastries, so this is the latest chapter of Beauty and the Beast , and Dan is at Phil/the Beast's castle which I hope you like and yeah enjoy XD
"I have chosen to let you go." Said Phil, when the old man immediately looked up at the beast in shock. He cried out as Phil sat him down on an old leather chair, meanwhile PJ and Dil were curious about where this was headed. Even the old man was confused, as he looked up at the Beast.
"Not that I'm not grateful but…why?" Asked Lord Adam.
" Because, I want you to bring Dan here instead….it's a fair trade, him for you." Said the Beast, and the man's eyes widened. He wondered what the Beast wanted with his ward, and there was also the matter of the deal he set in place. He'd taken in Dan, when he was just a young lad who was left all alone wandering the streets. He loved Dan like a son…so….he didn't know.
"Phil! That's much too harsh." Said PJ, though Phil ignored him. He knew it was harsh, but he needed Dan to break the spell. The old man nodded, and he dragged the old man through a series of corridors, before finally happening upon the stables.
Lord Adam groaned, as his head pounded, and honestly he could do without being treated so roughly.
"This horse will take you back, and will bring Dan here once he gets on it." Said Phil. Lord Adam gripped the reigns tightly, as the horse galloped across the dirt road into the night. He wasn't going to bring Dan here…no, the boy was young and had so much ahead of him. He wouldn't let him throw it all away for an old man like him. He didn't care what the beast did to him, but he was not getting his hands on Dan.
Dan sat by the fireplace in the main dining hall, and smiled as he read the book. Everyone else was asleep, but well…honestly Dan couldn't put the book down. He sighed, as he read the last page over and over again taking in every word. He did love a good happy ending, when all was said and done and the heros were rewarded with their happy ending. Where everyone lived happily ever after, he looked up as he heard someone open the door.
Dan furrowed his brow…who would be up at this hour? He got one of the lanterns, and made his way down the dark hall. He hated the dark, and it could've been anyone but…well…that was it it could've been anyone. He opened the door, and gasped as he saw Lord Adam entering the manor with a limp before he fell to the floor.
Immediately he ran over, and set the lantern down.
" Lord Adam, are you alright?" Asked Dan, as he helped him up. The old man groaned, and leaned against Dan as he helped him up the stairs.
"The Baron…he pushed me out of the carriage…the beast…it saved me." Said Lord Adam, Dan looked at him in shock. Once again the beast had done something that others claimed he wasn't capable of. He opened the door to Lord Adam's bed chamber and laid him down on the bed. Removing his boots, and his traveling cloak.
"I'll call Louise, don't worry you'll be just fine." Said Dan softly, the old man took Dan's hands in his.
"Dan listen…the beast…it let me go, but at a price. Outside, me for you….outside there's a horse that brought me here, don't get on it or you'll be taken to the Beast. I don't want to lose you." Said Lord Adam, before coughing. Dan's jaw dropped slightly. He bit his lip and looked at the old man. He didn't want to let the man who took him in down…he nodded and went to Louise's room.
He knocked on the door.
"Louise, Louise!"
Louise opened the door, and rubbed her weary eyes.
"Dan what is it? Darcy and I are trying to sleep." Said Louise, tiredly.
"It's Lord Adam, he's hurt." Said Dan, as he took Louise's hand and led her to the old man's room. He sighed, as Louise immediately went to go assess him. Dan bit his lip and looked out the door…he recalled what Lord Adam said but, he'd be alright in Louise's hands. Besides, he had an inkling as to why the Baron tossed him out of the carriage. There was also no knowing what the beast would do if he didn't go.
So he did.
He got his favorite book, pulled on a cloak and went outside. The horse was a black stallion eating some grass. He looked back at the manor, before getting on the horse. Immediately he gripped the reigns as the horse galloped to the old and decrepit looking castle.
He got off and walked up the steps to the door. The doors opened, and Dan stepped inside.
"Hello?…Beast?…I…I'm here." Said Dan, as he looked around at the frightening statues, and the slashed paintings. He gasped lightly, and slowly made his way down the large hall.
"Oh, wonderful, another guest!"
Dan immediately looked around for the source of the voice, when he looked down and saw a walking candelabra.
"Hey, my name's PJ and you're here to break the spell…right?" Said PJ.
"Yeah….no…what?" Asked Dan, PJ chuckled as his eyes looked up at Dan. Then he stopped and realized that maybe telling him about the curse wouldn't be the beast. After all, he wanted them to fall in love naturally not because Dan felt he needed to.
"So um, would you like dinner?" Asked PJ.
"PJ, whose there?"
Dan looked up, and he saw the Beast come down the stairs. Phil looked at Dan, and his eyes lit up.
