Chapter 5
That night Pan had cried herself to sleep upon the very bed her grandfather slept in only three months earlier. As she slept she began to have a dream…
~Dream time~
Pan was walking around the palace garden and she was wearing a beautiful gold dress, long and shiny. Her long raven hair was held with a gold band and she had her red rose in hand, suddenly she heard a noise behind her…she looked and she saw someone standing behind her dressed in black and scarlet robes like the beast. Pan thought that it might've been the beast but the person wasn't as tall or big.
"Who are you?" She asked as she sat down on a near by bench.
"Just a friend." Replied the stranger. Pan glanced up at him as he walked over to her and removed his hood. Pan saw standing before her an incredibly handsome young man…with silky lavender hair that went slightly past the shoulder and partly tied back. He had a gold earring on his left ear and she then saw his eyes…pale baby blue with strands of lavender hair draped in front of them.
She was instantly attracted to him, "Your just a friend…of who?" She asked trying to not be obvious.
The young man didn't seem to notice her attraction, "I'm your friend Pan." He said solemnly, Pan's face turned a lovely shade of crimson at the comment, but then she wondered How did he know my name?
"How did you know my name, and who are you?" She asked trying to contain her blushing.
"I know all about you Pan, and you need not concern yourself with my name, for it doesn't matter who I am…not now." He said calmly, although Pan couldn't help but notice a frown or a deep sadness laying upon the young mans' handsome face.
"What's wrong?" She asked concerned.
"You Pan…why were you so unkind to me?" He said turning his back to her and looking at the roses. Pan's brow furrowed What is he talking about? I was never unkind to him…I've never met him before.
"I have done nothing to you." She said in defense, she did not want him to be sour with her. The young man looked back at her, "We shall see Pan."
With that he walked away and Pan's vision began to fade into blackness.
~End of Dream~
Pan then opened her eyes "It was only a dream." She sighed then she noticed that she was in a different room, she looked around and was amazed; everything was so feminine. The curtains were a lovely shade of pink and her bed had white satin sheets. All her furniture was white with gold and the walls were a very pale pink color. Pan's eyes sparkled with delight; it was the most beautiful room she had ever seen. She then realized that she had slept in her clothes last night, then again how did she get to this room? "I don't remember walking here." She walked over to her door and glanced out into the hall, it was a completely different part of the castle, she then saw on her door on a gold plaque Pan's Room.
"My room? So I guess he really isn't going to kill me." Pan said, a part of her was relieved that she wouldn't be dieing young, then again a part of her wondered if she would be better off dead then here. She sighed and closed her door and went back into her room; she then removed her cloak. She flung it on a chair and without her noticing a white envelope came out of her pocket, on it was written Pan. Pan didn't notice for her eyes caught something else, it was a lovely red velvet dress worthy of being worn by a queen. Pan glanced at it and figured that it must be for her, so she removed her clothes and put on the dress.
Pan glanced at herself in a nearby mirror and smirked, "Wow…what a dress."
"You look lovely, as lovely as a queen." Came a gentle female voice from inside Pan's room. Pan turned around to see who had spoken but she saw no one.
"Who's there?" Pan asked as she began to scan her room, suddenly the wolf came out from behind a chair. Pan's nerves settled as she saw the familiar wolf, for some odd reason Pan was not afraid of it she knew it wouldn't hurt her.
"So have you come to keep me company?" Pan said as she scratched the wolf behind its ear smiling. She then got up to leave, "Thanks for the scratch." It was the same female voice that she had heard before, Pan turned around eyes wide…the wolf was gone, "What?" Pan said to herself while she was still trying to figure out what all that was. Pan shook her head and decided to do the only thing possible.
"Well since I am in some strange castle, and since I'm going to be living here for the rest of my life I might as well learn my way around. I say its time for a little exploration adventure." She said as she silently opened her door and closed it, mindful to not be too loud for she did not want to anger the beast or run into him for that matter.
"Now which way down the long hall should I go, left or right." Pan said to herself as she glanced down both ways, each equal in length and each had a door at the end.
"Try the left." Replied a voice from out of nowhere. Pan glanced around looking to see who spoke. Yet again she saw nothing, she shrugged and decided to take the sudden advice and go left. She slowly walked down the hall, glancing at the chairs and the tables, the tapestries and gargoyle statues on the pillars. It gave Pan a cold chill looking at them, they were so ugly yet beautifully crafted. There were even some paintings on the walls of people who seemed to be very wealthy and of high position.
Pan stopped for a while to look at each; the first picture was of a man with dark onyx eyes, and high black hair. He was dressed in black, and had a gold crown on his head, he was not smiling or smirking; he had a very serious expression on his face and was very handsome.
She then stepped over to the next picture; it was a woman with beautiful ocean blue eyes and aqua hair up in a bun and held with a crown. She had a warm smile on her face and a little black cat in her lap, she had a royal blue dress on and Pan could tell that whoever she was she was very lovely and most likely a very nice person.
The next painting was that of a young girl, no more then Pan's age perhaps. She had hair and eyes that were identical to the older woman in the previous painting; she had a small tiara on her head and a big happy smile on her face. Pan laughed she could almost feel the warmth and happiness from the girl, "Wish I could've met her she seems like a great person."
Then she came to the last picture on that wall, Pan nearly froze in utter shock…the painting was of the young man she dreamt of last night. In the painting he was dressed as a prince with a crown and a sword in his hand, he was not smiling, yet he still looked as handsome as he did in her dream. And his intense blue eyes almost seemed to be looking at Pan directly, "How can this be?…wait a sec…I must have seen this painting when I first arrived, naturally giving me that dream. There I figured out the strange coincidence." Pan said not feeling confident in her conclusion at all, she sighed and glanced up at the painting again, "I wonder who he is…or was? I bet these four people were a royal family, the mother, father, sister and brother."
Pan then left the hall through the door at the end, she found herself in the center of the castle. There was the grand entrance down below and flights of stairs on her left and right. There were two more floors above her; she could see the other balconies above on her left and right side.
"This place is huge, it might take my whole lifetime to see it all, and in a place like this I doubt I will be running into Beast very often anyway." She said as she began walking along the open hall, she looked down below at the first floor; she looked at the two floors above. Pan sighed, there was not a soul in the whole palace except for a horrifying Beast and a strange yet friendly wolf.
For the whole day Pan roamed the castle exploring different rooms and halls, eventually it was time for dinner. Although for the whole day Pan couldn't help but hear whispers, like other people were in fact inside the palace watching her. Doors would open for Pan sometimes she didn't need to open them herself; candles would magically light up after the sun went down.
"This place is enchanted." Pan said as she went over to the dinning hall, where her food was waiting for her. She glanced around the room; no one was around…the only sound she heard was the crackling of the huge fireplace on the right side of the table. Pan walked over to her seat and sat down quietly and began to eat her soup, then suddenly another door in the room opened and half of the lights in the room went out. Pan froze and glanced over by the door, her heart began to beat rapidly yet she remained calm on the outside and very still. She saw the wolf come out from the shadows and approach her, calming her a bit. Pan then glanced back by the door and saw the shadow of the beast he slowly sat down on the other end of the table with his hood over his head, and with hardly any light.
"Good evening Pan." He said, with a growl.
Pan wiped her mouth with her napkin and drew up all the courage she could, "Good evening Beast."
"How do you like it here Pan?" The Beast asked, with a gesture of his hand. Pan glanced around the palace then back at the Beast.
"It is splendid here." Pan said still completely petrified, she wanted him to go away so badly.
"It is splendid here, and it is much more splendid now that you are here Pan." Said the Beast, his breathing was rough and it reminded Pan of the sound of a bear. She was so frightened and appalled by the Beast that she wasn't even realizing how kind he was being.
The Beast with his keen eyes could see the look of fear on Pan's face and it hurt him and angered him, She's not being fair he thought as his fists tightened and he suddenly growled rather loudly that it made Pan drop her spoon.
The Beast sighed and he to wished to leave, so he wanted to get what he wanted to know out of her quickly so he could leave, "What do you think of me Pan?" He asked with a snarl of displeasure…he did not want to ask that question at all.
Pan thought she did not here right, Why is he asking me this? Doesn't he know already what I think of him?
Pan looked away from him and into the fire, "I don't know you." Was all she could say.
"Well what do you see?" He asked, Pan looked over at him and he waved his hand and suddenly all the candles on his side of the room lit up and Pan could see his face. Pan nearly closed her eyes in horror, but managed somehow perhaps with god's help to look at him.
"I see a strange Beast…that took me away from my family, and expects me to act like it never happened." Pan said almost forgetting that she just raised her tone to a beast that could kill her with a smack of his huge and clawed hand.
The Beast sat back in his chair, waved his hand and the lights went off on his side of the room again. But before he had done so Pan could've sworn she saw sadness in the Beasts' baby blue eyes, they shone with sadness, remorse, anger almost every emotion possible. Pan dismissed the thought; He can't feel emotion…how can someone like him feel anything…wait that was cruel of me to say but still…
Pan put her hand to her head, regretting what she said to the Beast, then the Beast rose from his chair and walked over to Pan with his hood over his head concealing his face. Pan looked up at him and she could see two brilliant blue diamonds piercing through her onyx orbs through the shadows, Pan felt hypnotized in a frightening and strange way. The Beast then took a rose from inside his cloak and plopped it in front of Pan with a growl, "Goodnight Pan." With that he began walking away.
"Goodnight Beast."
And that was the end of their first day together.
