It sounded as though nothing was moving in the castle, which wasn't odd considering it was so late at night. Being as quiet as possible, I climbed out of bed. Curiosity was always a downfall with me, I could never keep my noise out of something that I should, so, quietly I opened the door to my room revealing a long dark corridor. I grabbed a small candle from the room and was about to head out the door, then, as if by magic, there was Mrs. Potts, a small smile on her face.

"Do you need anything m'dear?"

"How? How did you do that? I could have sworn.." It was only a second I turned to get the candle, how could she have gotten to the door that fast?

"There is much more to this castle than you think. Now, what is it you need?" I didn't want to tell her I was going to sneak around the castle, but then again, what would someone be doing up this late?

"I, I was going to find you, ask if you could show me around, I mean, I know it's late and all, but I couldn't sleep, it's my first time in a castle. Oh, sorry, I rambled didn't I?" Her face lit up, she grabbed my hand and started to drag me out of the room, I guess it was a yes.

"Of course I will! Everyone will be so happy to meet you, even Chip, I just know..." I wanted to listen, but my attention was pulled to her, no, literally her. She was glowing, as if she was a candle. She gave off a light, almost like she was the candle.

"Why are you glowing Mrs. Potts?"

"Oh.. Well.. In due time dear, don't pay attention. Now, this here is the ball room, hasn't been used in years, but still gorgeous as ever." With that she let go of my hand, I looked at her, and she only nodded her head. Looking around it was truly beautiful. The floor a cream colour and in need of a washing, the walls a little darker with large windows from the floor to the ceiling. The ceiling, oh, it was truly breath taking, clouds were scattered with baby angels looking down, and a magnificent chandelier in the shape of a bell, twisting and turning with candles everywhere. In the very corner of the ballroom, was a black piano. Touching the keys, it sounded out of tune, dust lingered on my fingers, why wouldn't someone play this wonderful instrument? I would make note to tune it later. Turning back, I saw Mrs. Potts waving her hand at me, looking around one last time, I walked over.

"This is truly amazing.."

"Oh, there is plenty more to see, come along." The long corridors were full of paintings and statues, most of the paintings were torn apart and the statues were a little scary, they were mishapen, and dark, there faces twisted, some looked evil, and as if they would come alive from the shadows, I made a note to stick close to Mrs. Potts.

A few moments later and we arrived at an archway, inside was a fireplace, since it was still lit, I could make out what was in the room. There were a few chairs, red and blue, with a small rug just in front of the fire place. It seemed like a nice cozy place to read, or to warm by the fire. There was only one painting in the room, and it was of a rose, oddly, the rose was wilted and dark grey. Strange, but I guess some people like that kind of art.

"This is where the Master likes to sit. It's one of his favourite rooms, all he does is sit though, staring at the fire. Troubles me sometimes, he looks so worried..." She seemed to go distant, thinking of a past memory.

"It's still a lovely room, a little gloomy, but cozy." I smiled at her, reassuring her that we didn't have to talk about it if she didn't want to, nodding her head she started to walk again.

"Now there are two places left, the library, and the kitchen. I will take you to see the library, and then take you to get something to eat." Smiling to herself, happy with her decision.

We came to massive double doors, nothing was special about them, except that they were big, from floor to ceiling. Pushing the door open, which was surprisingly light, I couldn't believe my eyes. Thanks to the light given off by the candles and fireplace, I could see books, everywhere. The room was larger than any I have ever seen, and there were books of all different sizes, and colors on every wall. The small bookshop in the village didn't come close to the amount that were here. I walked around, stopping at odd times to see what book was there, if I have read it, or if I should read it later. I came just before the fire place where I saw it. An average book, light green in color, picking it up, I noticed the binding was slightly torn, obvious from the amount of times it has been open. Maybe this was his favourite book, opening it slowly, I saw that there was no title. Flipping through there were pages ripped out, some with writing others blank. Stopping at a page, I could hardly make out the writing, only the one sentence that was vividly clear.

I have done it again. I lost control. One more human has fallen victim to my needs, I buried them, in hopes that they are at peace, hopefully my peace will come soon, to stop this...

All of a sudden the entire page went blank. I looked up to as Mrs. Potts how that was possible, but she just looked at me with shock.

"Mrs. Potts I didn't-"

"M'dear, you best put that book away, never look, or read it again. Please for your own safety, put it down." From the little I knew of the old lady, this was not like her, so obidiently I put the book back where I found it and walked away, but I would find a way back to it, I wanted to know what was so important in that particular book.

We walked in silence, I looked around, I felt like the statues were following me so I looked back at Mrs. Potts. It was only then did I get a whiff of a sweet smell, almost like fresh picked strawberries. On cue, my stomach growled.

"I see your stomach has noticed we are near the kitchen." Mrs. Potts turned her head slightly, and I could see her usual smile again. "Now I do warn ya, the rest of the servants are a little... different, I'm really the only one in this.. form, so bear with me." And with that she opened the door to the kitchen, and I have to say, they were a little different...
