A.N/ This chapter is a little graphic up ahead, fair warning, if you do not like violence or rape(sorry) then I encourage you not to read this chapter. Sorry if I insult any one in this chapter, but I needed to explain why she feared Gaston so much.
Disclaimer: Stated in the first chapter.

The feeling of being rocked I knew something was holding me, it was warm, so without thinking I snuggled closer and its arms closed around me tighter, assuring me I wouldn't fall. Then the heat was gone, I was laying on something very comfortable, but I missed what ever I was snuggling. I heard mumbling, one with a darker, heavier tone, the other sweet, and kind. Then silence. I heard footsteps, and then a door close, a sigh escaped my lips as a nice warm cloth was placed on my head, I didn't realize how cold I was. Then a thought hit me, where was I? I remember running into a castle. Was it a castle? No one ever mentioned a castle near the village, at least, not that she remembered. The flash of Gaston's angry face flashed before my eyes and I realized I had been sucked into the nightmare that haunted me...
Being alone for a few days wasn't the biggest thrill. Maybe I could catch up on books while Papa was away. While gathering some things to go to town, a loud noise startled me. The only one that knocked on the door loud enough was Gaston. Sighing I went to the door.
"Bonjour Gaston." I knew I had the annoyance in my voice, but it never fazed him.
"Bonjour Belle." He had that stupid smile on him that made most of the girls faint on the spot, I found it annoying, very annoying.
"What do you want Gaston, I'm busy."
"Why Belle I came to see you, today is your lucky day. The day where all your dreams come true." He stepped in pushing me aside, I knew where this was leading and didn't like it.
"Gaston, what could you possibly know about my dreams?" Still trying to gather things to go to town I noticed he was awfully close.
"Everything, why picture this," Ugh, he had his muddy boots on again, and I just finished cleaning the floors. "Coming home to a well lit fire roasting my latest catch, my wife massaging my feet while the children and dogs are running around. We will have six or seven."
"Dogs?" Why would she, even if I did marry him, have six or seven dogs, that's ridiculous!
"No Belle, strapping boys like me." He got up, puffing out his chest showing his dominance.
"Well, thanks for the offer Gaston, but I will not marry you." Stepping back I grabbed a book and put it in my basket. "Now excuse me Gaston I have to return a book I borrowed." Suddenly he was in front of me, grabbing my arm.
"No one says no to Gaston, no one." Anger flickered in his eyes, but she still wouldn't marry a man like him.
"Well I am, and I stand by it, now let go, your hurting me." I tried my best to get his grip off my arm, it wouldn't budge, something else was in his eyes, and I didn't like it.
"You are mine Belle, make no mistake about that." As if on cue, he tried to kiss me, with my free hand I slapped him.
"I am no ones, now let go and get out." I faced him, determination and fear within me, but I knew I had to stand against him. I didn't know what was happening until it did. Blinking, I realized I was on the floor, I started to crawl, I don't know where I would go, but my legs would not carry me.
"You will be mine Belle.." Within a flash he was on me, I fought with everything I had, but he was still stronger. I could feel my dress loosening by the second, terrified I looked around, I needed something, anything to fend him off. Nothing, looking down, I saw my dress was almost undone, but something else caught my eye, his knife. He didn't realize he still had them on him, I grabbed it and held it to his throat, looking dead in his eye.
"Get. Off. Me. Now." Slowly he lifted off, and stood up. I noticed his pants were unbuckled and his shirt open, realizing his intentions I grew even more enraged. "Get. Out."
"Belle." He used his stern voice as if to scare me, but I was more angry than anything.
"NOW!" This shocked him for I never yelled but he moved obediently and left me. Running to the door I locked it, even the back door and windows. Sinking to the floor, I realized what could have happened if he didn't have his knife. I was scared of him, and I had a week before Papa came back, this was going to be hard.
A few days passed and he didn't return, then the fourth day came, and he was at the door again, pounding on it, insisting I let him in.
"Go away Gaston, leave me alone." I could hear the terror in my voice and surely he did too.
"Why Belle, I only want to talk, now open the door like a good woman, and let me in." I heard the lie in his voice, I knew what he wanted and I was damned if I would let him have it. A crashing noise brought me back to what was happening, he broke the window and was climbing in. Frantically I looked around, there on the shelf was a knife, it was short but I could use it as a shield. Before I could reach it I was one the ground, black spots covering my vision. Dizziness over whelmed me, only then did I realize he was standing above me, smiling with his devilish smile.
"I told you, you would be mine." He started undoing his trousers, and I knew what he was going to do, and I couldn't let it happen. Struggling I started to crawl away, I heard a light thud and I knew it was his trousers on the floor, a sudden hand grabbed my ankle, I couldn't help but scream, as soon as it left my lips, another blow to my head. Laying still I tried to look around, and this time he was very close to my face, he smiled, it was full of anger, lust, and evil, pure evil, he didn't care what happened to me, he just wanted me. I tried to crawl again, but was stopped by two hands grabbing mine and pulling them above my head. I was helpless. With his spare hand he grabbed his knife and ripped my dress. I could only whimper, I couldn't do anything to stop this no matter how much I wanted to. Pain shot through my thighs and stomach, only then I realized what he was doing. He was going to make me impure, no man would want me after this. I tried to scream but his hand was on my lips, and his lips latching and biting on my breast, I knew I was shaking, but it didn't stop him. Nothing was pleasurable about this, it was all pain. I decided to go limp, give him nothing. I didn't know when it stopped, I heard the door slam, and I slowly looked around, noticing I was alone again, but I could do nothing but lay there. No one in town would believe me, Gaston was the hero. I was alone.
The bruises were slowly disappearing, along with the pain. I had boarded up the windows so he couldn't come in. I was writing my papa a letter telling him why I was not home when he returned as I was leaving, I would eventually come back, but I needed time. Just as I was signing it, the loud thudding came again, he was back, the monster.
I just stared at the door, scared for what was going to happen next.
Someone was screaming I could hear it, my eyes flung open and I realized it was me. A elderly woman was staring at me with worry in her eyes, I never saw her before, but having her beside me was reassuring.
"Are you alright m'dear?" Her forehead was frowning in concern. I could do nothing but stare at her, I finally felt myself shake, something wet hit my hands and I realized I was crying. I shook my head in disbelief. "Chip, go get some tea, and hurry." That's when I noticed a little boy running as fast as he could, when he got to the door, my heart stopped. Something was staring at me, and it was nothing like I had ever seen. I wanted to scream, run, hide anything to get away from it, but looking into its eyes, I just stared, ocean blue crashing with forest green, I was stuck, fear struck me, but so did reassurance. What was going on, she should be running, but why wasn't she?

Like I said I apologize if I insulted anyone in this chapter. I never liked Gaston in the movie or book, so I had to make him really... cruel. Sorry again if anyone was insulted, but other than that, let me know if it was any good.
Thanks for reading!
