Chapter Thirteen

Apologies

(Rose POV)

HUFF HUFF "Great I am lost"

I looked around. Something in this hallway looked familiar.

"And to top things off, Beast is now chasing after me"

Why was he carrying me? He could have just woke me up. Even though I still might have screamed from seeing him.

Sigh

"My luck just doesn't get any better"

I thought for a moment on how to run or hide from Beast.

"Maybe I should head the other way, but I will still get lost. This place is just too big!"

I heard a growl coming closer.

"But under the circumstances, I guess I'll just have to take that chance."

So I turned and ran even faster when a roar rang throughout the hallway again not too far off, but the roar sounded much more aggravated. By now I would have to tell why I ran faster, a beast chasing you in the last two day, I've had enough.

"OH NO!"

This hallway; it's the 'West Wing'. I was now terrified once again as I remembered that night when I was first in the castle and since it had only been a day the pain was still fresh.

"No…no this can't be happening again!"

Fresh tears were now running down my face.

"You will stay and never leave" That dark voice said…

"I will never let you go…Rose." Running… through the snow, seeing the figure…cutting my side…crying…"Rose is you wish to live my best advice would be that you come with me"… "No" I said weakly…seeing his face…the Beast

I heard larger footsteps coming this way; I turned around and ran the opposite way. I saw a door not too far away.

"I can wait in here until he goes…"

My voice died off as I noticed where I was as soon as I shut the door. It was a dungeon.

Doors were lined up along walls, old and damp looking. Inside of the cells were piles of hay that looked just about as old as the doors that blocked them. Tremors of fear was the reason I shaking, not because it was chilly.

I shouldn't be here! Lumiere said to me earlier that besides the West Wing, the dungeons are one of the other areas that no one is ever supposed to enter. If he catches me in here I'll surly be in trouble, and since this is next to the West Wing I'll be in even more trouble

Right as my thoughts ended I heard the entrance door open and two blue angry eyes shown through the darkness. Before Beast could say anything I blurted out before I lost my nerve,

"I'M SORRY! I didn't mean to scream in your ear, I was startled. I'm also sorry for running away from you and going in here!"

I was gasping for breath from the run and the fact that I felt like I couldn't breathe in such a cold area. Beast stepped into the Dungeons candle light and said,

"Why did you come in here in the first place?"

His voice had a little anger in it, but only a little. This was the part I didn't want to tell him about.

"I…When I ran away, I accidentally ran into the West Wing."

Beast was going to say something but I cut him off again,

"So I ran the other way so you wouldn't get angry at me for going near the room with the glowing rose. I'm sorry."

When I finished telling him I was looking at the blurry floor so I wouldn't see his angry eyes. He surprised me by his tone of voice when spoke up once more.

"No Rose, I should be the one apologizing."
