Stephen was pacing up and down in the dining hall. Christine and Mrs Parker were on the fireplace watching debating whether or not to speak about the boy upstairs.
"Why isn't he here yet?" The beast growled growing inpatient "Sir you must understand the young lad has lost his freedom and his father all in just a couple of hours" Mrs Parker reasoned. The beast huffed what was the boys name? It began with an A..., he remembers the old man saying Anthony, So he guessed that the boy in the room in the east wing was called Anthony. He was beginning thinking that he should have gone and got him.
"er, master have you considered that this boy could brack the spell?" Christine asked "of course I have in not an idiot" the beast snaps at Christine his cloak twitched a little.
"I wasn't saying that what I was saying that you get him to fall for you and you for him we will be human by midnight," Christine said but Mrs Parker shook her head. "It doesn't work like that Christene things like love take time," Mrs Parker said "But the rose has already begun to wilt" Christine stated.
The beast groaned "it's no use he's so handsome and I'm...look at me!" The beast gestured to himself. Mrs Parker gave the beast a soft look "well you must help him see past all that" she said nicely.
"I don't know how," the beast said defeated "well you start by making yourself look more presentable Straighten up," Mrs Parker said in a firm tone. "Ah yes when he gets here give hin a charming smile come show us the smile" Christine encouraged to which the beast gave a big smile showing all of his sharp and jagged teeth.
"Don't frighten the poor lad"
"Impress her with your wit"
"But be gentle"
"Shower him with compliments"
"Be sincere" both Mrs Parker and Christine gave the beast advice to him. "But most importantly you must control your temper" Christine and Mrs Parker said the last part together.
Just as he was about to lose his temper the jiggling of the door nob caught his attention. He expected the boy Anthony to come through the door but it wasn't him instead it was Steve.
"Well, where is he?" The beast questioned still try to calm down from an almost outburst. "Who?" Steve asked but then realised who he was talking about "ah the boy...the boy...yes the boy...Well actually he's in the-.. circumstances being what they are-" Steve stopped took a deep breath a finally said, "he's not coming ".
After that one sentence being said all of the beast patience and calmness left his body. "WHAT!" The beast shouted so loud that it probably could be heard from outside.
The beast began to run to tony's room with the staff behind him.
Tony's pov
By the time I fixed the clock I heard some loud footsteps stopping outside my door. Then a loud bang on the door came next 'the poor door' I thought.
"I thought I would you to come down to dinner!" He shouted did he really think I would go after everything that has happened. "I'm not hungry" I lied I haven't had anything to eat all day but the beast didn't need to know that.
"You'll come out or...or I'll break down the door" he shouted even louder. By now I was near the door so I could hear everything clearly.
"Um master I may be wrong but that's not the best way to win the boys affections," a female voice said it was the one I heard from outside and still had no name to put to the voice. I stopped for a moment the beast winning my affections will never happen in a million years.
"Please attempted to be a gentlemen" Steve pleaded "but he's being so difficult," the beast said. Obviously not wanting to be here or doing this.
"Will you come down to dinner" he grumbled out. "No" is my short answer there is no chance in hell that I will go to dinner with him. "Hmmm" I hear the beast in a tone of I-Told-You-He-Was-Being-Difficult "nicely and gently," the female voice said.
"It would give me great pleasure if you would join me for dinner," the beast said annoyed I imagined that his tail twitched in annoyance and that image almost made me burst out laughing. Someone murmured something to which the beast added on at the end "Please" "No thank you" I decline.
That was the wrong thing to say his he turned angry and shouted through the door. "You can't stay in there forever!" 'Oh screw me and call me Bruce Willis' I thought angrily "Yes I can!" I shout back at him.
"Fine then go ahead and STARVE!" The beast shouted so loud that I haded to cover my ears and that the walls of the castle shook. "If he doesn't eat with me then he doesn't at all" the beast was probably saying to the people who were with him.
I hear someone probably the beast run away slamming the door. Which echoed through the castle then there was silence for a while.
"Right you guard the door and if tony gets out you inform me immediately got it?" Steve questioned "aye-aye Capitan," the female voice said. "Good now let's go downstairs and start cleaning up" Steve instructed to the other people that were with him.
I walk away from the door and to the bed to put the know fixed clock back on the wall.
I then go back to the bed and sit at the end of the bed. I fiddled with the ring on my finger I didn't realise that I was crying. Until I felt them hit my hand.
The tears fell for some time but eventually, they stopped. Today seemed like a total nightmare that I wanted to wake up from.
I sighed and looked out of the window to look at the garden. I don't know why but looking at the garden made me relax a little.
I didn't realize how tired I was since I was nodding off. With that realization, I got under the covers and dozed off.

The beast was running through the halls to get to his room. Once there he started to wreck his already wrecked room but he didn't care.
He then walked over to the already wilting flower. The beast sighed and then picked up the mirror that lade next to the rose. The mirror was a normal-sized one that was silver its size length was about 11 inches tall and 19cm wide. The shape was a simple oval with a rose image that was engraved onto it that was attached to the handle. It had a handel started slim but widened out a little.
"Show me the boy" the beast instructed the mirror. It flashed a lime green before it showed tony sitting at the end of his bed crying.
The beast turned the mirror away "Who am I kidding he would never fall for someone like me who is a monster" the beast said out loud to himself. With that being said he disappeared into his messy room to brood.
