Taming the Beast

By Moon without a Sun

Nagi followed the redhead down the corridor.

"This is your home now. You are free to go wherever, except the East Wing. No one is allowed in the East Wing."

"Why not?"

"You just aren't!" A low growl emitted from pale man.

"I, I'm sorry, sir."

"My name is Aya. Got it? It's Aya, not sir."

"A-Alright, Aya. I'm Nagi, by the way. I'm sorry for all the trouble."

"We're here." Aya had stopped outside a large mahogany door. Nagi stepped in, the door shutting swiftly and locking behind him. He was alone.

The room was massive. A large canopy bed was the main focus of the bedroom. There was a large window, covering all of one wall. A large wardrobe stood next to the bed, and its elegant design interested Nagi. As he stepped closer to examine it further, a young man emerged from the wall. This, of course, startled Nagi, causing him to scream.

"Woah, woah, calm down! My name is Ken, and I'm supposed to help pick out your clothes." Ken seemed to cringe at the very idea. "You must be Nagi, right? Well Nagi, if you need anything, just let me know, I'll be right here."

"Wh-what the hell are you?!?! You acting all normal, YOU JUST CAME OUT OF A WALL, DAMMIT!"

"Ooh, that. Yeah, see, there was this curse placed on this castle. And unless it's broken, I, and the rest of the servants, will remain as ghosts." Nagi gave him the most skeptical look the boy had seen in a while.

"Ghosts? I know of some pretty weird things, some that I myself possess, but there's no such thing as ghosts."

Ken shrugged. "Suit yourself." He turned to leave, seeing as how the boy didn't seem to be in the mood to talk. Nagi reached out with his power, trying to hold the man there until he told the truth. Surprisingly, he couldn't seem to get a hold on the boy. Meanwhile, Ken was giggling madly.

"I told you… You have to believe me, I mean, why would I lie about that? Now, let's get you dressed for dinner. Aya wants you to join him."

"I'm not eating with him! He's rude, cruel, and there is absolutely no possible way he can carry on a decent conversation for an entire meal!!"

"Fine, he said that if you wouldn't join him, you wouldn't get to eat. It's your choice."

"I think I'd rather just stay here, thank you…Ken."

"Ok, well, I'd better go tell Aya." With that the boy disappeared, leaving Nagi alone in 'his' gigantic room. He sank to the bed, thinking about what had just happened.

'I'll never see any of them again. I'll never be able to do anything…' he sat there for the longest time, and he began to sob. As he lamented, the room began to shake. A giant force moved throughout the castle, startling all who resided there. All except a weeping boy, who failed to notice the tremors.

Sorry for the long wait, everyone! I've just had really bad writer's block for this story, plus an extreme lack of time. But if you like this story, please read and review so that I know whether of not I should write more!
