Chapter 4

The days came and went, Pan and her family did the best they could to forget what was to come. They tried to get along better with each other and they tried to cherish the moments they had left. Catherine and Cristina were making a considerable effort to make Pan's days easier before she left them; it brought Pan's eyes to tears when she saw how much Cristina and Catherine tried.

::Am I doing the right thing by leaving? Of course I am…I asked for the rose…I got grandfather in trouble with the beast. I just wish it didn't have to be at this cost, what will I do without my family? And how will they be without me? Grandfather especially…Lora, Catherine and Cristina do not care for him as much as I, can they take over for me well? I suppose they'll have to though won't they. I just do not wish to leave…three days that is all…just three days before my life becomes an unknown torment and a beast becomes my deliverer of death.::

Pan always thought that way as the days went on…time went by swiftly and it was already the night before Pan and her grandfather were to set out towards the castle. Once again the whole family sat around the fireplace in their new house, the wealth that was in Mr. Satan's trunk was enough to have the family be wealthy again. Although the family would wish it all back if it meant Pan could stay with them and not leave.

"Well this is the last night we will all be together…let's make the most of it shall we." Lora said trying to sound strong, although she failed miserably. Her heart was breaking, Giorgio had not returned and Pan was now leaving also never to return; things were simply going from bad to worse.

"I agree with you Lora…let us make the most of this night." Pan said with a smile, Lora was right about her…she had the strength that kept the family strong and able to withstand all hardships. What would they do without her?

Mr. Satan sat in his chair glancing into the fire, his eyes were glazed and dim he was in deep thought. For the past three months he constantly asked Pan to forgive him for his coward ness, yet Pan always told him that it was out of all their hands and that it was her choice to leave not his.

Cristina was secretly wishing to lock Pan up in the attic just so that she wouldn't leave…Pan was the one she looked up too always, who would she look up to after tomorrow morning? She glanced at her whole family one by one, her eyes then fell on Pan and Pan sent her a sincere smile. It nearly crushed Cristina's heart and she could only say, "I'm sorry." With that she raced upstairs and slammed her door, everyone else had the same intentions but they felt that it would not be the best way to spend their last night with Pan. All of their eyes were tearing and their hearts were breaking, silence was all that filled the room…it spread throughout the entire household. What was there left to say?

"Well…I suppose I should say something," Pan said breaking the silence, "I will miss you all terribly and it hurts me to do so more then I can say, I will never forget any of you and I hope you never forget me. I know I cannot leave this house without tears and confessions of forgiveness and regrets to ease the consciouses of this house. I leave here with no regrets or ill wills to anyone, I ask that you watch over my growing rose garden for it cost me my life." Pan began to breakdown, her voice was shattered and cracking, she could hardly face her family as they silently cried and ached, "I love you all." With that everyone got up and said their official goodbyes to Pan for her and her grandfather were leaving at dawn before anyone wakes. They truly did make the most of that last night, and Pan had no regrets.

Pan was up an hour before the sun and she wrote a letter to Cristina who had cried herself to sleep the night before. She also found a letter from Cristina on her night table; she slipped it into her cloak pocket and slipped her letter to Cristina under the door. She then went outside to meet Mr. Satan, "You ready grandfather?" She said quietly as she mounted her horse, Mr. Satan was looking pale and he didn't even answer her question, he simply mounted his horse and they began to ride off.

They had eventually made it into the woods around noon, and it was almost as if they were lost but at the same time they were going to end up at the castle regardless of which way they turned. Suddenly both Pan and Mr. Satan heard the sound of a wolf howling nearby, Pan glanced around to see if she could spot it but she saw nothing, "I bet that was the wolf of the beast." Mr. Satan said in a monotone voice, Pan sank her head down low as she fought back her tears. This was it for her as far as she knew, her life would be over with and she would never know any of the joys of being a woman; Love, happiness, children…all of that was now out of her reach and it pained her to think of it. Pan placed her large hood over her head to hide her tears from her grandfather, no matter what happened she did not want to show him her fear or regret. Again they heard the howl of the wolf and it sounded closer then before, "Are we close grandfather?" Pan asked wiping away her tears and gaining her composure.

"I believe so Pan, although I will say nothing seems familiar to me, I dare say we are close." He replied with a sigh, as he turned back to face Pan who looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile.

Suddenly they heard the wolf for the third time and Pan saw the castle in front her, Pan could not imagine that a Beast could live in such a magnificent palace. "Come Pan." Mr. Satan said solemnly, and the two of them rode through the gates, Pan was in awe of the hundreds of roses that were in the garden.

"I can see why you could not resist giving me one grandfather." Pan said gazing at the roses in wonder.

Mr. Satan said only one thing, "I curse them."

He then mounted off of his horse and it went right back to the stables, Pan mounted off her horse as well and it too went into the stables. Mr. Satan then held Pan's hand and led her into the palace the same way he went in three months earlier. Pan kept her hood on just in case she got emotional at any point, although she didn't think of death when she saw all the amazing things inside the palace halls.

"Look at all this wealth grandfather…its incredible." Pan said as she gazed at the gold chairs and silver tables.

"Hey there's a girl here." Came a voice from within the halls, Mr. Satan froze he recognized that voice as one of the voices he heard when he first arrived, "Oh no not him again."

Pan glanced at her grandfather confused, "Not who again?"

Mr. Satan glanced at her and shook his head, "Not no one…its nothing."

Suddenly Mr. Satan then froze in his spot as he saw standing before him in the hallway the black wolf that sat beside the beast. Pan noticed the wolf as well, "It is very beautiful." She said softly, Mr. Satan glanced at her as if she were mad to say such a thing. Just then the wolf shook its head and turned around and began walking, "I think we should follow it." Pan said as she began following the wolf, Mr. Satan could not believe what was happening, "Pan look at it! You can't follow it!" He shouted, Pan turned around and the wolf paused and glanced at them, "It is alright grandfather…come." Pan said calmly and took her grandfathers hand, they then both followed the wolf into a large bedroom and the wolf huffed and silently left the room, leaving Pan and Mr. Satan alone.

A few hours passed and it was now nightfall, Mr. Satan and Pan were waiting fearfully for the Beast to make his entrance, suddenly the door creaked open, Pan and Mr. Satan shot up from their chairs and glanced at the door, it was only the wolf…their hearts began to beat again. The wolf walked towards the dining table by the fire and Pan and Mr. Satan saw it prepared with food, "There was no food there a second ago." Pan said in amazement, Mr. Satan sighed he was already familiar with the tricks of the palace.

"Well eat up dear Pan, they do have good food here."

Pan and Mr. Satan ate their food in silence; they could not be calm knowing that the beast would arrive soon. The black wolf sat by the bed watching in silence as they ate…waiting.

When the two of them finally finished eating and sat down in their chairs the door of the room burst open and this time it was who they were expecting. Pan froze in horror, as did Mr. Satan, the wolf went over by the beast, the beast was cloaked in his dark scarlet and black robes and he had a hood over his face, concealing it from them both.

"I see you have returned with someone." Said the Beast softly, sounding more like a man then an animal, Pan was frozen stiff, unable to move, speak or think.

Mr. Satan stepped forwards with Pan, "This is my granddaughter Pan." Pan glanced at the beast, she wished to see his face but she could see nothing because of the hood which shrouded his face, Pan bowed graciously, "Hello," was all she could manage to say as her voice shook with fear.

The beast growled softly and petted his wolf on the head gently, Pan's eyes widened when she saw the size of the Beast's paws and his long silver claws. If his hands intimidated her imagine his face! She then took in a deep breath trying to act calm, "Pan say goodbye to your grandfather for now he must leave."

Pan's heart fell into her stomach, Say goodbye? Did she hear right?

Did she have to say goodbye already? It all was happening so fast and she began to tear, "Oh grandfather!" She said as she hugged him tightly, Mr. Satan began sobbing, "I do not wish to leave you my dear granddaughter."

They hugged for a while when the beast then said, "Enough!" His voice echoed like thunder and Pan and Mr. Satan broke their embrace and glanced at the beast, "You sir may go downstairs get your horse and simply say 'I wish to go home' and you will be back in your house with your family."

Mr. Satan's spirit sank and he glanced at Pan one more time, he cupped her face into his hands and gently kissed her on the forehead, "Good bye my Pan, my little Beauty." He then turned away, Pan then let out her sadness and silently cried.

She was then left alone in the room with the hooded beast; she was so scared and angry that she wished to get everything over with quickly. She stood up from her crouching position and stepped towards the beast who simply stood there with his wolf who retreated outside, "Are you going to punish me now? Are you going to kill me…for a rose?" She said a bit harshly.

The beast growled and Pan could see his fangs glisten, she held her ground despite her fear and waited for a reply, "You may have all the roses you wish Pan, you are worth more then all the roses in the world." The beast replied, "I shall now bid you good night."

Pan was taken back by the Beast's compliment, but she still wanted to see his face, "Wait!" Pan shouted, and the beast stopped and turned around, "So you will not kill me?" she asked, the beast stood in silence then said in a dark and low rumbling voice, "No."

"Can you show me your face?" She asked hesitantly, the Beast growled and said, "Only if you wish to look upon something truly ugly." Replied the Beast…Pan thought that no creature could be so hideous that they could not be looked at without fainting.

"I wish to look upon your face…nothing more." She replied, the Beast then sighed and hesitantly dropped his hood back revealing his face to her. Pan nearly fell backwards at the sight, she had never seen anything more ugly in her life…the face of some strange animal, twisted and bent, it was the face of both a lion and a wolf, and several other beastly creatures that lived in the forests of the night, he had thick dark brown fur with tints of lavender in the fur on his head…but she was taken back when she saw his eyes. They were the most amazing shade of pale baby blue…they looked human. Is that what they were…human eyes? They glistened like diamonds, and captivated Pan…such amazing eyes, but the rest of him was like a nightmare.

The Beast gazed at her with a snarl, uncomfortable with her silence and frightened stunned glare, "Goodnight Pan, this is your home now." The Beast said and he quickly retreated, leaving Pan bewildered and frightened. It was then that everything hit her, her loss of family and her fate…she was doomed to live with an ugly Beast for all time. She fell on her bed and wept like she had never wept before, believing all was lost.
