Chapter 6

What a day, Pan thought to herself as she went back into her room. She was still recovering from her dinner encounter with the Beast, What a jerk he is…asking me what I think of him and stuff. What was he trying to gain? My sympathy for his deformity or just plain ugliness? Does he think that girls who are made prisoners will take kindly to the one who made them prisoner?

Pan was so frustrated and sad and confused…never had she really ever felt like this. All these emotions stirring up inside her like a whirlpool, they go deeper and further into the core of her being and she only found herself drowning in it all. So helpless she felt, what can she do now? Day after day her life will be this castle, and night after night a beast will dine with her. It was a thought Pan knew would make anyone cringe or merely despair in, was that what she was doing? Falling into despair?

No way! Pan get over yourself already! You are stuck here whether you like it or not…basically not but still…get over it! You can't change anything, so deal with what you have, right?

Some harsh comfort she was to herself…she then remembered how Cristina and Catherine could always see the bright sides to every dark place and time. She could really use their cheery dispositions and attitudes right about now. How I miss them…I miss them all.

Pan then noticed a lovely cream satin nightgown perfectly laid out on her bed. Pan walked over to her bed and picked up the delicate material, she rubbed her thumbs over the soft and smooth satin and she touched the delicate pattern of shiny pearls that were all over the shoulder part off the gown and collar.

"How pretty…I can only imagine how expensive such a beautiful thing like this could be." Pan said to herself as she quickly changed out of her scarlet dress. She slipped her body through the gown and adjusted the hems and collar; she then removed her hairpiece and let all her hair fall down like a black waterfall behind her. Pan then plopped herself on her bed and turned her head to the side, suddenly her eyes fell onto a small white envelope on the floor under her chair. She silently got out of her bed knelt down and pulled the envelope from under the chair. She turned it over and saw written on the front, Pan.

Pan looked confused for a minute, she had forgotten who it was from. Her eyes became lost in deep thought of memory, when it hit her she opened her eyes wide and they seemed to have sparkled with excitement. Like a little child she ran to her bed and practically jumped on it, her hair bounced and her smile was big and beautiful. She truly did look like a little girl who had gotten a grand present. She tore open the top of the envelope and then she pulled out the letter inside, it was folded into three sections going down…she gently unfolded it with anticipation and her eyes began scanning the paper as she read what was written to her:

Dear Pan,

Please forgive my leaving you like that downstairs but I just could not bare the thought of you not being at home tomorrow when I wake up like always. You are the one I looked up too and the one I admired the most…who will I look up to now? I suppose that by the time you read this you will be in the castle, and I'm almost positive that you will need some serious words of encouragement am I right? Listen, look at you're situation like this…1. You do not have to baby-sit Catherine and I.

2. You will not have to cook or clean ever again!

3. You will not have to listen to grandfather complain all the time.

4. You will not have to put up with Kamon always asking you to marry him…the handsome jerk.

5. You can live like a princess.

6. You just may find some happiness there that you may not ever find here.

As Pan read that last reason she thought that Cristina was joking, but then her eyes fell into a confused and sad look. "Cristina what could you mean by that? If only you could see what it really is like over here." Pan said almost expecting an answer form Cristina, when she only heard silence her eyes began to fill with tears…as she continued reading:

I guess I can only tell you that…and you never know we may meet again in this lifetime. Always keep the faith girl…for just like you yourself once told me…"Everything always turns out all right in the end if you just keep the faith." Remember that? I love you girl! God Bless!

~Cristina~

Pan shut her eyes tightly as a tear rolled down her cheek, Pan then looked back down at the letter that just made her horrible night a rather comforting and nice one. "Thank you." She said in a tone lightly above a whisper.

Pan then placed the letter on her night table and blew out the candle in her room until only three on her night table where on giving her light till she slept.

Cristina's letter had calmed Pan down tremendously, no longer did she feel so lost and out of faith. Not all things can be less worse then this, and some good must come out of it eventually right? Oh Cristina…even when you're not around me, you make me feel all right.

Pan then closed her eyes as she fell into a deep sleep.

~Dream Time~

Pan found herself walking through the palace garden again, this time in a pink velvet gown and at the end of her sleeves and gown there was gold linen at the edges. It would be the one Catherine would've wanted when she thought they would have money from Mr. Satan's ship. Her raven hair was up in a braided bun with pink roses in it, making her look like a princess from a fairy tale. Pan sighed as she wondered aimlessly through the garden smelling the roses one by one; taking in their sweet fragrances, they perfumed the entire garden.

"What are you doing?" Pan froze as she heard a familiar voice behind her; she slowly turned around and saw the young man with the lavender hair and captivating blue eyes. Pan's stomach began doing cartwheels as she smiled shyly and tried her hardest not to blush.

"I was just smelling the roses." She answered sheepishly, Pan hated how she was acting towards him…she didn't like playing the part of the silly girl who is going 'Gaga' over some guy no matter how gorgeous, sexy and amazing he may seem. She shook her head lightly trying to get rid of her silly little crush feelings.

Pan then realized that the young man hadn't responded to her, he just stood there in front of her not moving…just looking at her with what almost seemed like anger and confusion. When it then seemed like he was going to say something to her he turned the other way…almost as if it pained him to look at her. That one act made Pan feel almost inferior to him, she almost felt like leaving or trying to wake herself up from this strangely consistent dream.

Yet Pan found herself not having too when she heard his fair voice speak to her, "Why do you dislike me so?"

Pan nearly fell backwards at the question. Dislike him? How could she dislike him if he had done nothing to her?

"What are you talking about? I do not dislike you." Pan said taking a small step towards him.

He stayed in his spot having his cloaked back face her, "How can you say that Pan…when you know its true." He said finally turning around and facing her again. She noticed that the anger in his eyes was gone and was replaced with sadness and discouragement.

"I don't know what you mean." Pan said helplessly, for what else could she say to him when he had her in such a bad position?

He then sighed and lowered his head; his long hair draped over his shoulders and his bangs framed his eyes, "I can say no more to you today…only you can determine how our next meeting will be."

Pan arched an eyebrow at the strange comment as the handsome young man walked away leaving Pan alone and in the garden and yet again her vision then went black and she soon awoke in her bed and it was day time.

~Dream time Over~

Pan blinked a few times as she woke herself up more, she then yawned and stretched. She scratched her head absently and moved her legs over the side of her bed, she sat there for a minute or two until her vision became clear and she could see her room clearly.

Suddenly she heard something, "Get up already will ya…I haven't got all day to fix up the bed."

Pan's eyes widened and she jumped up from her seat and began looking around her room; eyes wide and her heart racing.

She scanned the room not missing an inch, "Not a soul in sight." She said to herself as she began to relax a bit.

"Your wrong about that one." Came a voice form behind her, Pan who was then startled quickly jumped around and looked, "What the hell!?"

Pan looked down and saw a little black cat with deep blue eyes looking up at her with what seemed to be a smile.

"What the hell is incorrect…the correct answer for someone like you would be 'Who the hell?' if I'm not mistaken." Replied the cat tilting its little black head to one side and looking up at Pan with humor in its little blue eyes.

"Who? What? How?" Pan said between a series of deep breaths.
