Chapter 2

The night before Mr. Satan's departure the family decided to gather around the crackling fire and tell stories together.

Lora had just finished telling her story about a sleeping princess who was saved by the kiss of a handsome prince.

"Your turn grandfather." Pan said with a smile. Mr. Satan glanced at everyone as he tried to come up with a story, he then sighed when he thought of one.

"Well there is this one tale of a king who ruled not too long ago, and he had a son. His son was very fair and very strong and smart but…he was very conceited and cruel, he had almost forgotten what it meant to be a human being. Some say he got it from his father, others say he was born that way, anyhow he was one day punished by a wizard for his cruelty and had sentenced him to become what he was on the inside…a beast." With that Mr. Satan finished his story, and he left his granddaughter and nieces with their mouths open.

"What ever happened to him uncle?" Asked Cristina with a yawn.

"No one knows Cristina, the castle was lost when the curse was brought upon the prince, him and his family and servants all vanished into a place unknown or unseen by everyone else."

"Can he be turned back into a prince Uncle?" Asked Lora.

"Perhaps, I'm not too sure."

"Well I say he deserves it." Said Catherine.

Pan disagreed, "Well I think your wrong Catherine."

Everyone looked at Pan as if she were crazy, "Why do you think that Pan?" Asked Lora.

Pan hesitated a moment, for she didn't know why she said that in the first place, "Well I suppose I said that because, no one not even someone as cruel as that prince deserves to have humanity taken away from them and become a beast forever."

Everyone sat in silence, "Perhaps you are right Pan." Mr. Satan said as he then rose from his seat, "It is very late, let us all head for bed."

Everyone then rose to their feet and headed upstairs to their beds.

The next morning Mr. Satan got dressed and ate breakfast, while the girls packed up his clothes and food for his journey.

When he had finished he said goodbye to them, "Farewell my girls, take care and keep the place up while I am gone." He said as he mounted his horse and rode off over the hills.

"I hope he will return with Giorgio soon." Lora said with a tint of worry in her voice. Pan glanced at her with a smile, "Do not worry Lora they will both come back to us before you know it."

Lora smirked, "You are so strong Pan, you are the strength of this family. What would we do without you?"

"Hopefully you'll never have to find out." She said with a smile.

After that the four of them went inside.

Two weeks had past and Mr. Satan had finally arrived at the city where his ship would be. He arrived only to discover that pirates had attacked it and everything had been taken right down to the last gold nugget. To his dismay Giorgio had to leave right after he returned to run an errand he could not get out of.

Mr. Satan was crushed; he could not bring anything back to his girls, no dresses for Catherine and Cristina, no Giorgio for Lora, not even a rose for Pan.

"Some man I am." He said to himself as he made haste to return home, for he wanted nothing more then to be with his girls again.

As he rode for a week he had made it back into the woods, he was halfway home. Suddenly a heavy fog picked up and Mr. Satan was hardly able to see anything, the night grew cold and it began to snow. He had run out of food and his horse grew weary he felt as though his time was drawing near. He began to feel like he would never make it home when he suddenly saw a bright light ahead of him. He headed towards it to find a huge and grand castle, the sun was shining around it, there was no snow or wind or cold the fog separated, there was green grass and blue skies and curtains and fountains of roses everywhere in the front garden. It was like something out of a dream, Mr. Satan breathed a sigh of relief and headed past the gates, which opened up for him, and he got off his horse. He then saw his horse automatically head for a stable, which was loaded with hay and oats and water. He then saw a palace door open up near by and he figured that it was a sign to enter.

He slowly stepped inside the castle and he was left in awe with what he saw. There was a long hallway with pillars, chairs lined up on the wall made of pure gold embedded with jewels and velvet silk cushions and small tables made of real marble and silver. There were magnificent tapestries and paintings on the walls and gargoyle statues engraved on the front of the pillars. He could not believe all the marvels and wealth that lay before him, yet he couldn't help but think…who owned all of it?

"Hello? Is anyone here?" He called out, yet he only heard his own echo. He shrugged and continued walking, "There has to be someone in this huge place." He said to himself.

"Who's the stranger?" Came a voice from behind him. Mr. Satan glanced back only to find no one there. He scanned the room for any sign of anyone, yet he saw nothing.

"I'm hearing things! The lack of food and all the bad news has finally taken its toll on me." He said holding his head.

"Hey that's funny…he thinks he's hearing things." Came a second voice, Mr. Satan froze he looked over the hallway again, he saw nothing.

"This is weird. Is someone there? Hello? You can come out…I come in peace." (A/N: Famous last words eh?)

Mr. Satan then heard some giggling but he didn't know where it was coming from…then he heard that first voice again, "Shut up Kakarott you idiot!"

"Kakarott? Hey I know that name…well of course now I remember who he is, could it be the same Kakarott who is…" Mr. Satan paused when he heard what sounded like breathing; it was so loud and the breathing was more like low growls that seemed to have come from the castle walls.

"Who's there?" Mr. Satan asked again, yet again he got no answer.

He then continued walking, hoping to find someone, perhaps the master of the castle. As he was walking he heard his stomach begin to growl, "Geez where the hell is everybody? I'd like to get some food."

Suddenly a door to his right creaked open, he glanced over and opened the door wide, and he entered a large bedroom.

There was a beautiful fireplace with a warm and roaring fire, a soft silky bed and a table already set with food. His eyes widened with surprise and delight, "Oh yea! Haha! Seems like they were expecting me…but how could they have been? Oh well looks like this is my place for the night now." He said to himself as he then helped himself to a meal. While he ate he remained in awe at all that surrounded him, he wished to take some wealth back with him to help him with his family.

He then thought of Pan, Lora, Cristina and Catherine who were waiting for him eagerly back home. It nearly brought tears to his eyes, to know that he would disappoint them so on his return when he comes back empty handed. He then yawned and gazed out a window nearby, it was already nighttime and he was very tired, as he got up he stopped suddenly in fear.

He began to hear low beastly growls nearby, like a huge animal was stalking him and preparing to strike him at any moment. It sent frightening chills up his spine, "Hel-Hello?" He said quivering in fear.

"He knows he's here." Came the second voice that he had heard when he had just arrived. It sounded like it came from the direction of his bed, but there was nothing there but a bed and a night table and a chair. On the night table there was a miniature grandfather clock with legs and two handles one on each side. Beside that was a candleholder that held three candles, which would be his light for the night including his warm blazing fire.

Mr. Satan shrugged his shoulders; he found the castle strange and creepy. He was hearing voices and frightening growls and although he was being received graciously he still wanted to leave, but not without saying thank you to his unseen host or hosts.

"I'm too tired to leave now, it is late and dark. I'm sure no one will mind if I get some shuteye here tonight. Besides I've been fed and sheltered its not like anyone said get the hell out." He said as calmly as possible, he then walked to his bed and pulled the covers over his head.

"The big old baby…afraid of a little growl." Came the first familiar voice.

Mr. Satan froze and listened intensively, yet to frightened to pull his head out of the sheets. "Ah leave him alone majesty, he has a right to be scared." Came the second familiar voice.

"Humph…I'm surprised he was welcomed." Said the first voice.

"Well that's because someone is finally learning to be kind…sort of." Replied the second voice, Mr. Satan was dying to know who the two people talking were and he wanted to know whom it was they were referring to. Could it be the master of the castle?

"Come we have to go." Ordered the first voice.

"Oh alright…but you know…that guy looks very familiar…I wonder if I knew him before the…"

"We used to know a lot of people before everything happened, in this state we forget easily. No point trying to figure anything out now…let's go." Said the first voice harshly, then Mr. Satan heard the tapping of metal on his floor, as he finally got the nerve to lift the covers to see what it was and who was talking his room door had opened and shut.

"I am leaving this weird place first thing tomorrow." He said as he shut his eyes tightly and welcomed sleep.
