Third chapter, Beast's point of view... Yay! Also contains spoilers for episode 4.

The sound of heavy rain hitting the black pavement road filled the city. There was no used trying to listen to any music on the radio,seeing it would just be interfered with the rain. Windshield wipers went back and fourth in a steady patten of motion. The weather was suitable with his mood, Grey, somber, eerie and dreadful. It was a perfect match for Beast's emotions as of the moment.

Couples bickered and fought all the time, him and Beauty should be no exception... Yes, the couple fought in the past but normally within a few hours they would sit down and calmly talked about what happened. But that didn't happen with the last fight. It was days since the horrific events that that taken place in Open arms. He could be impulsive at times, he straight away thought Bigby and Beauty were having a secret affair then a fight broke out between them. He didn't blame Bigby for punching him on the face a second time, he was. A total and unreasonable dick. He deserved it, but after the bloody room of Crane's sick and perverted fantasy of Snow White took place. When Bigby left he had hoped that was the end of the terrible night...

But the world had other plans for him.

Beauty didn't take well to learning he had been spending time in the Trip Trap, a local and old bar. Sure it wasn't anything compared to any high class and popular bars and clubs but it offered a really nice change of paste... solitude. Normally only two or three Fables and Mundies lingered around the bar, if course Grendel was always there, and Holly who always ran the bar herself. Yes, they could be cold and bitter but both of them were pretty decent if you earned their respect. They weren't friends but they shared a bit of respect and came not to be annoyed with Beast's company. One time him and Grendel held a conversation about how infuriating the blasted noise of the city could be and even played a short round of pool together. Plus he liked the whiskey Holly kept in stock, she clearly knew her alcohol, he recalled Holly and him discussing wine one time.

Beast clicked his tongue as the traffic started to ease up. His fingers tapped impatiently on the steering wheel of his car. He manage to get a day off of work to see his wife. With the vast amounts of job he worked to made ends meet, as well as the desk job Beauty held. Their work hours weren't kind to the married couple. It seemed like once in a blue moon they had an evening to themselves, and he intended to use that to settle things with Beauty.

He didn't blame her for being upset or trying to avoid him,but he knew he couldn't just leave her alone forever. With a sigh he finally drove the car into the parking lot of his and Beauty's apartment. He removed the car keys and tucked them away in his pocket, he sighed and unbuckled his seat belt. This never happened to them before, they never fought and not talked afterwards...

He longed for the days to return where him and Beauty were wealthy and living in a enchanted castle. Beast knew money couldn't but you live and happiness but it sure as hell could make your life easier.

Rain or shine, wealthy or poor, sickness or in health he would always stick along side with Beauty, but it seemed nowadays they spend more time bickering about bills and work then hugging or kissing... If they had more money maybe they wouldn't be bickering in the first place...

'Fuck, Beast don't think like that, you two are the oldest couple in the history of fables for a reason!' he thought to himself. Taking a deep breath he stepped out if the car and into the pouting rain. Silently cursing himself for not bringing an umbrella he dashed though the pouring rain and entered the apartment complex.

He made his way up seemingly endless flights of stairs. He finally reached a dark wooden door with a brass doorknob. He dug through his pockets and pulled out a set of copper coloured keys. He hoped Beauty didn't change the lock without telling him. Much to his relief the key fitted and unlocked the door.

His heart was racing wildly, how would things turn out this time? Both of them has more then enough things to dwell upon since seeing the murder of Holly's sister. And on top of that there was a new Fable who served as a threat at everyone's safety and well being. He had been told by Bigby and Snow White the new enemy went by the name of Bloody Mary. Beast was also showed a sketch done by an artist of her. He was normally not the type to be scare but evening if it was just a drawing he felt terror run through his veins. Her eyes were wild and untamed, like a lion in the wilderness ready to pounce right out of the picture and strangled him. It didn't help seeing the awful wounds Bigby had retrieved during the first heated duel with her... And this was Bigby Wolf! No mere Fable would be able to do this to him... He feared for Bigby what the second time would be like if they met. It didn't help that he was delivering packages for the Crooked man... work was hard to find! He had to find a way to make ends met somehow!

Swallowing the salvia in his mouth he called out. "Beauty?" he finally called. And sure enough a pair of footsteps could be heard.

"Beast?" asked Beauty walking up to him. She seemed... off... Nervous maybe? It seemed like a reasonable way to feel. They haven't talked or seen each other in far too days since what took place at the Open arms.

" It's... uh... been awhile." he manage to say. It felt so alien talking to her again, and she was his wife for crying out loud! They been together for countless years. But something seemed off... maybe it was the atmosphere the rain from outside gave off, the weather had been horrible and unbearable lately.

Beauty folded her arms and glance downwards at the dusty, maple wooden floorboards. Beast made a quick mental note to mop them, there apartment was starting to get messy.

Finally Beauty sighed and looked at Beast. He noticed a faint pink mark on her neck. It must had been from allergies, he did forget to buy the right kind of soap for her sensitive skin,the last time he had been shopping.

"Look Beast, I'm sorry about what happen-"

"No, no, Beauty, it's my fault, I shouldn't be the one drinking-"

"I'm the one who flipped out at you." Beauty ran a hand through her blonde hair. "If I haven't we wouldn't be in this mess." Her voice sounded so horse and raw... it carried so much guilt. But just for a argument? It seemed a bit much...but then again he could tell they were both a mess of emotions.

"I shouldn't even be drinking in the first place." he reminded. "Beauty, I love you, I mean it... I promise for here on now no more drinking-"

"Beast, please just stop." Beauty pleaded.

"Beauty, I mean it, I'll be a better person from now on." he promised. The lovely blonde woman didn't seem to share his excitement of wanting to start over on a clean slate. In fact she look like she was on the brink of tears.

She shook your head. "Beast, please you don't have to say sorry..." Beauty spoke up. "Lets just put everything behind us... I-I been having a rough couple of days..."

Beast nodded. "Of c-"

He stopped as he heard a set of footsteps approaching them. Did Beauty invite Snow White over? Maybe even Bigby,to discuss the terrible events that were related to the murder that took place in the Open arms? Beast's eyes widen in horror.

It was like he was in a horror film. He couldn't even begin to describe the fear and shock he felt running through his veins. His heart raced wildly as his brown eyes met with her amber ones. There she was, just like in the sketch he was shown... there she was. Highly suspected murderer, kidnapper of Ichabod Crane, and the same woman who beat Bigby to a bloody and wounded mess... There she was... Bloody Mary.

The slyest of smile formed on her heart shape lips, her eyes never once seemed to change, they were always full of a wild and untameable spirt that burned hotter than any kind of flame. Bloody Mary place her hands on her narrow hips.

"Hey," she simply greeted. In a split second Beauty turned around, her eyes widen in horror and shock upon seeing the leather jacket wearing woman.

His wife gasped, "How did you get on here?!" she exclaimed.

Beast felt his body tense up, he had to protect Beauty, normally he would lunge at her without giving it a second though, but after seeing the damage she had done to Bigby he knew he would just make this situation worse.

"Miss me?" Bloody Mary asked, Beauty didn't reply to the question. She took a step closer to Beauty and used her finger to shush her. "I've sure missed you-"

On impulse he harshly swatted her hand away from her. "Don't you fucking touch her!" Beast snarled.

Bloody Mary glared at him, her lips lost the charming and sly curve of a smile and became a straight line.

There was a long pause, neither if the three saying anything. The only noise there was, was the chatter of actors on TV and Beast's nervous breathing.

Eventually Bloody Mary clapped her hands together. "Well then, how about some coffee?" she offered then turned around to the kitchen. "Where do you keep the coffee mugs?"

"Uhh..third cupboard..." Beauty awkwardly replied.

Beast glanced at Beauty, although she did have the look of fear on her face it wasn't as strong as his.

'I'll call Bigby.' he though. But once he reached into his pants pocket for his phone, there was nothing.

"Shit," he swore under his breath. Of all the times he forgets his cellphone at work. Plus the home phone was normally left in the kitchen. All he guessed they could do now was wait for her to be off guard then strike.

The sound of freshly made coffee trickling into a coffee pot filled the apartment. The smell of the grounded beans being used for coffee replaced the light scent of Beauty's rose scented perfumed.

"Beauty, how did she get in here?" he asked in a whispered.

"I swear I have no idea," Beauty replied biting her lower lip.

There apartment was fairly high up, so the windows were a no go, the doors were always locked so that was also not a possible choice for the intruder.

"Do you have your cellphone on you?" he asked. His wife shook her head.

"It's in the bedroom charging, why?" Beauty questioned.

"We need to call Bigby-"

"Beast, please just let me talk to her." The red clad woman reassured.

"Talk to her?" Beast repeated shocked. He doubted such a dangerous crook like Bloody Mary could just be talked too. "Beauty, do you even KNOW this woman?" he asked making the "know" part nice and long to get a point across.

"Yes, I do in fact." Beauty scoffed. "Look she just snuck in here. Okay?" she shook her head. "Fuck, I talked to her about this-"

"What?!" He could hardly believe his ears. His wife TALKED to Bloody Mary? How? Did she alert the Fable town police about her? What the hell had she been doing the past couple if days?

"Coffee's ready," called Bloody Mary from the kitchen. She carried a silver tray that contain three white mugs of coffee, a small pitcher of cream and a small glass bowl of sugar cubes. She went on ahead in the living room and set the tray on the glass table. Bloody Mary plopped herself down on one of the love seats, she waved her hand, a gesture telling them to sit down with her.

After exchanging worried glances with his wife the couple slowly made there way to there seats. Beauty much to his surprise sat next to Bloody Mary. She smiled cruelly. He was forced to sit in a lone chair across from her.

Bloody Mary took ahold of a mug, filled it with cream then plopped two sugar cubes in the mixture. "Two sugars for you Beauty, just the way you like it." she purred handing her the coffee.

"T-thanks..." Beauty stuttered out a thanks as she she sipped at the hot drink.

Bloody Mary and Beast fixed their own couldn't shake the feeling as she watched his every move with her piecing sharp gaze. He was barley able to pour the cream with his shaky hands.

It seemed the like the quietness of the room was more painful then it should had been. He knew what she was capable of, she was a threat to not only his and Beauty's safety, but everyone who ever lived in the city. She was dangerous...

He was lost in his train of thoughts until the invited guest clicked her tongue, she crossed a legs and smirked at Beast.

"I suppose Beauty haven't told you anything yet?" she mused.

He narrowed his eyes at the evil woman, he clenched his fist in anger. "Leave her out of this, Beauty is not of your concern." he snarled feeling the anger start to boil up in him. With no way of contacting Bigby or the police he might just have to face her head on by himself.

Bloody Mary did nothing but chuckle merrily, she then put an arm around Beauty. "I guess she didn't then."

"Don't fucking touch her!" Beast snapped at her, he stood up. Shortly after he did Bloody Mary pointed a silver gun at him.

"BEAST!" Beauty cried.

"Sit back down Beastie, or else Beauty will end up having to clean your blood off the floor." she warned.

Knowing he wouldn't stand much of a chance with a fight he unwillingly sat down again.

"That's more like it," she mused. "So Beauty, I bet you haven't told Beast at all what you were doing these past few days."

Beauty's eyes widen in terror, her whole thin frame shook nervously.

"Stop it, your upsetting her!" Beast yelled.

"Did you tell him about our time together?" she pulled Beauty closer to her. "Those nights where you ate me out?"

His whole face paled. 'Ate her out?' where was she getting at?

"And I ate you out," Bloody Mary licked her lips. "You taste amazing by the way Beauty, I had a real fun time with you." she kept going.

"Oh god..." Beauty said breathlessly, her face becoming paler then a ghost.

"And that night at the bar? Remember right after you had dinner at my place? For your first time doing a body shot you were pretty damn awesome at it." Bloody Mary then shivered in overwhelming joy. "God, I think I might cum just thinking about it." she giggled then playfully licked Beauty's cheek.

Beast stood up again, his rage could not be measured. Horns started to make there way out from his forehead. "Beauty...what-"

"Go on tell him," urge Bloody Mary. "Tell him about all the fun we had, all the freedom you had that you haven't felt in years since you married this fiend."

"Beauty..." he said again breathlessly as he stated at his wife.

"Beast, these past few days..." she took a deep breath to try to control her breathing. "I got drunk... and I woke up with Bloody Mary afterwards-"

"YOUR DRINKING?!"

"It was a mistake, please Beast!" Beauty pleaded. "I already called it off, she just snuck in here okay!"

"It wasn't a mistake when you agreed to have dinner with me." added the dangerous woman. "And do my eyes deceive me?" she gestured to the diamond necklace Beauty had around her neck. Beast never recalled Beauty owning a necklace like that, nor buying her one. "Lookie, lookie, it's the necklace I brought just for you darling."

"She's not your darling." Beast growled.

"Face facts Beastie," she mused. "Beauty hates this life, she hates having to work at the Open arms, she hates living in this shitty apartment, she hates this hellhole of a life you give her."

"Shut up," Beast growled.

"She wants freedom, to have the chains you put on her to be broken." She ran a hand through Beauty's luscious blonde locks of hair. "You clearly can't satisfy her. Isn't that right Beauty?"

"SHUT UP YOU MURDERER!"

"Murderer?!" Beauty repeated and gawked at Bloody Marry.

"Beauty, you don't know?" Beast narrowed his eyes at the intruder. "This vile woman tried to kill Bigby!"

Beauty gasped, Bloody Mary was clearly displease with Beast's accusation. She raise the silver revolter at him, her finger on the trigger.

"BEAST!" cried Beauty.

He ducked a second to late. The bullet entered his shoulder and exited. Crimson blood spattered onto the walls and floor. He let out a sharp cry of pain,

"Least you can remember to never take your eyes off your target." Bloody Mary laughed standing up. "Bigby couldn't, too busy gawking at that Snow White chick."

"Fuck you!" snapped Beast as he then lunged at his target. He had no weapon to arm himself with. He had no choice but to fight her empty handed...Which proved to be not a wise choice. Bloody Mary swiftly jumped out of the way. Beast crashed into the couch causing it to topple over backwards with him and Beauty. "Shit!" he swore. "Beauty are you alright?!"

Beauty open her mouth to reply but had no time to speak. Beast howled as Bloody Mary grabbed a clump of his hair harshly. She was stronger then she looked.

"Come on and fight me like a man!" she snickered and punched him in his stomach.

The metal like taste of blood filled his mouth, he gagged and spewed out blood with each violent cough. Mary's eyes filled up with the ever ending rush of excitement. No doubt about it, she lived for pain and suffering.

With a swift and forceful kick to once again his stomach, the sharp sound of ribs breaking upon impact filled the apartment.

"Oh my god!" Beauty cried in horror, her eyes widen in fear.

"You not so tough."she laughed. Beast hunched over in pain and made a fist. He send it at her but the crippling pain of his broken ribs seemed to weaken it. Not like it mattered in the end, Bloody Mary smirked and grabbed the fist. She yawned and rolled her eyes.

"Your pathetic," she glanced at the decor that were scattered on shelves and tables. "You can't afford this shit, you and your little princess are in more debt then you can ever imagine." the woman then cruelly twisted his wrist, it gave a shrill and sharp "snap" noise as it was turned.

Beast screamed in pain, she was too strong... she almost killed Bigby after all.

"Your just another ones of the Crooked man's pawns, a pawn he is more then willing to give up in the place of something more worthy." he tried to punch her again with his other hand. But it just met with the same fate, blocked by Bloody Mary and twisted.

He was in pain, no doubt about it. Both his hands were useless and the pain of his broken ribs were becoming too much for the Fable, even with his beastly and horned transformation. He trashed wildly but no avail, the evil woman had him in her tight grip. He was powerless compared to her...and Mary knew it.

"Time to take out the trash." Bloody Mary snickered and send a harsh kick to him in the groin area. Beast yelped, Bloody Mary let go of him, he stumbled backwards and that's where she made her move. Grabbing him roughly by the shoulders she then dragged him out of the living room.

"Oh my god, Beast!" screamed Beauty.

"B-Beauty, just s-stay there!" he ordered. "I'll be fine!"

But what fatal words would serve no truth, Beast would be anything but fine. Kicking down the wooden door it revealed the bedroom she and Beast shared. It was a modest room with a king size bed, but the most prize feature was the large window that took up a mighty helping of the wall. It seemed like such a beautiful thing at the time when they were looking for an apartment, but now it served a purpose far from anything pretty to look at.

Without so much as a single warning he found himself breaking through the window. Shards of glass shattering as he fell downwards, once he hit the pavement in a spilt second on the impact everything faded to black. The last thing he saw was Bloody Mary watching him in amusement from above.

His eyes felt heavy, it took a few tries to fully open them. But on the sixth try he manage to see something other then the pitch black darkness.

"Uhh..." A low moan echoed from his throat.

"Stay still," warned a male voice, Beast easily remember it being Swineheart, Fable town physician.

His whole head felt dizzy, he felt no pain but was extremely uncomfortable. "C-can I sit up?" he asked.

A sigh came from the doctor. "If it makes you more comfortable."

Swineheart took a step back as Beast slowly got up.

"Careful now," he warned. "I don't want the stitches to come undone."

Beast's blurred vision slowly cleared, he was back in his and Beauty's apartment, in there bedroom bed. The window where he was thrown out of was boarded up with wooden planks and yellow police tape. He manage to get a good look at himself, his green shirt was tattered, an IV was in his arm, most likely pumping morphine into his body to avoid anymore pain, and lastly his body had more stitches embedded into his skin than a rag doll.

"W...what happened?" he managed to ask. It was a foolish question to ask, he knew what happen. The deadly Bloody Mary broke into there apartment, she revealed a secret affair she had been having with his wife and lastly a fight broke out between them and he was thrown out the window.

"We'll to put it as short as I can," he start and returned to stitching him up. "You had a rather nasty fall."

"Will he be...okay?"

Beast looked across the room, there was Beauty leaning against the doorframe.

"Beauty-" he started but was cut off by the physician.

"He'll be fine, just needs to take it easy." he explain then finished stitching up Beast. "I done all I can, just take it easy and if any problems persist let me know." he bid the married couple a quick farewell then took his leave.

There was a long pause, neither one of them saying anything. Beast finally cleared his throat.

"We need to talk."

"Yeah, I kind of guessed that." Beauty sat down at the edge of the bed. "This...this whole thing is a mess, isn't it?"

"That's putting it lightly." Beast scoffed. "We're in over our heads..." he shook his head.

"I know, I'll pick up extra hours at work-"

"It's not just that Beauty." he ran a hand through his messy locks of hair.

"Is it... about Mary?" she manage to say. "And... what happened with me and her?" Beauty unwillingly added. Beast gave a slow nod. Beauty shook her head, "Beast, I-I called it off okay? It was a mistake, I was drunk-"

"There's more behind it..." he sighed. "Your not happy...and you been lying to me."

"Beast, please-"

"No, let me finish." he glance downwards. "Beauty... let's face facts, we're not happy. We're missable! I can't give you the good life you deserve, you have to work at Open arms...you lied to me."

"I had to make money somehow!" she argued. "Your pay checks alone aren't enough to support us!"

"Beauty,..." he felt his voice breaking.

"Y-yes?"

"We...we should spend some time apart."
