Disclamer: I do not own Beauty and the Beast, I also do not own the lyrics to the song in this chapter

My Prince of Darkness

It was after dinner, Bella was sitting outside on the balcony, writing. She wasn't writing a story, and she wasn't writing a paper for her lessons. She was writing a song. She kept writing until Allie came into her room. Bella turned her head and smiled at her friend. Bella had forgiven her friend for telling her mother where she was that night at the pub. "Pop a squat Allie," Bella said to her friend.

"Hey Bella! What are you writing?" Allie glanced over to Bella's paper.

"A song..." Bella replied, not looking up from her paper.

"Can I hear it? Please! Please! Please!" Bella smiled a bit.

"ok, but you promise not to laugh!"

"Dose it have parker in it?"

"I wrote this song for him"

"ok Lets hear it!"

Bella took a deep breath and began to sing, "I know we've been friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling something totally new
And after all this time I opened up my eyes
Now I see you were always with me

Could it be you & I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm falling for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
It's you and it's you

It's kind of funny you were always near
But who would ever thought we'd end up here
And every time I need you, you've been there for me
Now it's clear I've been waiting for you

Could it be you & I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm falling for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
It's you and it's you

'Cause today is the start of the rest of our lives
I can see it in your eyes
and it's real, and it's true
it's just me and you
could it be that it's you

Could it be you & I
never imagined
could it be suddenly I'm falling for you, could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
could it be that it's true
it's you and it's you

Could it be that it's true

It's you" Allie leapt up in applause.

"THAT WAS AMAZING!" Bella smiled a bit and blushed. She just couldn't stop thinking of Parker. Ever since she met him, she couldn't stop thinking about him. Allie looked at her friend, "you really like Parker, don't you?"

"I've never felt this way about any one before…"

"Do you think it could be love?"

"I have no idea…"

"Well it's getting late; we should probably get to sleep."

"Yeah… well good night Allie!" The two friends hugged. Allie left to go to her room. Bella took one last look at the sky then she went inside, shut the doors to her balcony and went to sleep.

Parker checked the hall way and his parents room. His father was asleep, snoring up a storm. How can she sleep through that? Parker thought, felling bad for his mother. Parker took the small step ladder he made and put it in his room. He was able to get to the roof with it. Once he was out on the roof, he closed the door quietly. He hopped off the roof, down onto the ground. He took his father's horse, put the saddle on, and rode off to the palace at full gallop. When he reached the castle he led the horse around to the back wall and tied it up. He looked the wall over and spied a few vines growing on the wall; he climbed the vines and climbed over the wall. The vines had spread over the wall and down the other side; he paused on the top of the wall. He saw a light coming from a room on the other side that had to be Bella. Parker jumped off the wall and began the run over there. Man this garden was huge! When he finally got to the window he heard people talking. He decided to rest a bit. He heard the conversation between Allie and Bella. Then to his surprise he heard, a song. Being sung by Bella. Wow, he thought, she's amazing. Parker waited a while, he wanted to make sure no one but Bella was in that room. When he was sure he climbed up to her balcony. He peered into the window. Bella was asleep. The moon light poured over her face. Parker just stood there for a bit, just looking at her. He then opened the door from the balcony. Bella woke up; she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed.

"Who's there?" Parker came into the room.

"It's me."

"Parker!" Bella jumped off her bed and enveloped him in a giant hung, "I thought I'd never see you again."

"I promised I'd see you again, didn't I?"

Bella smiled, "yes you did." Bella kissed him on the cheek, "I just missed you,"

Parker put a hand on Bella's cheek, "I missed you too." Parker leaned closer to Bella and kissed her. Bella deepened the kiss a bit, she wanted this so badly. She wanted him. When the kiss stopped, Bella sat down on her bed.

"How did you get here?"

"Long story…."

Bella smiled, he had traveled all the way from his house to come see her.

"I heard your song."

"What?!? You weren't supposed to hear that!"

"Don't be ashamed, you sing beautifully."

Bella smiled, but her smile faded, "You shouldn't be here."

"I had to see you again."

"I have an Idea, come to my party next week. It's a Masquerade party; no one will know you're there."

"Then I guess I will see you then." Bella walked Parker back to the balcony. He kissed her goodbye and left.

"Until we meet again, my prince of darkness." Bella said, she went back into her room and fell asleep.
