There was snow and then some rabbits. There was also a unicorn farting rainbows and eating butterflies who were playing on a mariachi band. What the hell was happening on this place?

And then Luke woke up with a voice calling him.

''Hey. Boy, blondie, noodle-''

''I'm awake.'' he turns to the wardrobe and gets up.

The wardrobe approaches him ''Good! I guess we can get started Now... let's see if I have something for you to wear at dinner.'' her doors fly open and lots of moths get out, making her close them again ''Sorry, my bad. But here!'' she opens one door - probably her arm - and takes out one white shirt ''This would look great on you!''

Luke chuckles ''That's very nice of you, but I'm not going to dinner.''

''But you have to!''

Sudenly there is a knock on the door and Michael walks in, he clears his throat before speaking ''Dinner is served.''

In the dining room...

Ashton was walking back and forth in front of the fire, Calum and Mrs.Wilson in the table while the cursed boy just complained. He was very nervous and afraid that everything would go wrong. The dinner was on the table along with natural juice, he hopes Luke likes it enough and maybe they could have a conversation through the dinner and give a few laughs. There has been so long since he laughed.

''Why is it taking so long? Michael and the boy should be here by now!'' he says while walking impatiently.

''Sir, you have to understand. The boy just lost his brother and freedom, he needs some time.'' Mrs.Wilson tries to explain.

''Well, it was enough time already.''

''Ash, have you thought of the possibility for him to be the one who will break the curse?'' Calum asks.

''Of course, I'm not dumb.'' Ashton stops walking and looks at his reflection on the plate ''But he wouldn't fall in love with me. He is so fragile, beautiful and perfect while I am... I am... I am this! This monster!'' he feels like crying and looks at the candle and the teapot ''There is no way he will fall in love with me. The second rose already started to die...''

Calum shrugs and looks at Mrs.Wilson, hoping that she would say something about this.

''You have to wait sir, this things take time. You can't fall in love with someone by knowing them for a few hours. You must help him to see through all that.'' the elder says.

''I don't know if that will be possible...'' he sniffs.

''You have to be more presentable.'' Calum says.

''And a gentleman.''

''Smile, show him that you are a happy person.'' Calum says and Ashton smiles, drool falling on his chin and his fangs showing ''Okay, maybe don't smile. That's disturbing and I'm going to have nightmares.''

''Compliment him.''

''Be nice.''

''Shower him with compliments.''

''And be sincere.''

''Don't swear.''

''Talk about his interests.''

''But most of all...''

''Control that damn temper!'' they both said and the door made a sound revealing Michael.

''Here he is!'' but there was no boy.

Where was Luke? And why isn't he here for dinner? Michael looked frightened when he saw Ashton's mood change from happy to angry.

''Where is he?''

''Who, the boy? Yes ah, the boy... W-Well, he just... Because of the circumstances- he is in the process of doing... He doesn't- he doesn't want to come and have dinner...''

''WHAT?!'' the beast angrily growls and starts walking upstairs to Luke's room with the objects following him.

They call him but Ashton ignores. All he can think about is how the boy is being so stubborn and ignoring the fact that he is being nice to him, trying to make him comfortable. I mean, isn't that enough? He was never nice to other people yet he is trying!

He stopped in front of the boy's door and angrily knocked.

''I thought I told you to come down for dinner!''

''Yeah but it doesn't mean I want to go, besides, I'm not hungry!'' Luke answered from the other side.

''Lucas-''

''My name is not Lucas.''

''-If you don't get out of that room right now I'm going to break it!'' the beast threatens.

''Ash, I might be wrong but I don't think that is the best way to win his heart.''

Michael is shaking, almost crying with so much violence ''Please, be gentle!''

The hazel eyed boy was growing angrier by the second ''But he is being so stubborn and annoying!''

''Be gentle.''

He tries to calm down and turns to the door again, speaking in a softer voice ''It would be a pleasure if you came down to join me for dinner.''

''Say 'please.'' Michael warned.

''Please.''

''No!'' Luke answers.

Ashton looks at the objects frustrated, pointing between him and the door. ''You can't stay in there forever!''

''Watch me!''

Ashton turns to the objects and says ''If he doesn't eat with me then he can STARVE!'' he says before walking away furiously.

''That didn't go very well...'' Mrs.Wilson said.

''Calum, stay in guard and if anything happens inform me.''

''Ay ay captain.'' He says when he takes gard next to the door and starts walking back and forth like a soldier.

''We should go downstairs and clean up.'' Michael says and the teapot nods, the two start walking away to the dining room.

Ashton

Ashton threw chairs everywhere, anything to calm down his anger. Everything he feels is anger towards the boy, for treating him like that! Like he is some... other person! He got in the East Wing, looking at his face on the paint someone made when he was a human. He grabbed it from the wall and threw it away across the room, not wanting to see it again.

''I ask nicely, I fucking said please! What does he want me to do- beg?! I'm not going to beg, I'm not some... some street rat or something like that!'' he grabs the mirror on the table ''Show me the boy!''

The mirror shines and then glows yellow, showing Luke in the bedroom talking to the wardrobe. Ashton takes that moment of silence to admire him. The boy is so small and fragile, he is so perfect. He looks like a porcelain doll and if someone touched him he would break in a million pieces. He is so ethereal.

''Oh come on, once you get to know Ashton it changes. You should give him a chance.'' the wardrobe spoke softly.

''I don't want to know him, or have anything to do with him!'' Luke says while some tears stream down his face, he could see hurt in the blonde boy's eyes.

The image disappeared and Ashton sat down, placing the mirror on the table next to the enchanted rose. He stared at the dark sky on the window, putting his head down right after.

''He will never see me as a lover, I'm just being ridiculous. He thinks I'm a monster...''

Luke

It was around 3 AM when Luke opens his room's door. The corridors were a lot quieter now, apart for some light of the candles on the tables. He steps out and closes it, trying to not make a sound that could wake up one of the objects. He tried to avoide the horrible-scary statues throught he house and the painting with no life.

It was only visible a light under the curtain and two people talking.

''Oh no!'' a female voice says.

''Oh yes, oh yes!'' there is some giggling.

''You burnt me last time!''

Luke chuckles, he recognized it as the candlestick's voice. The candlestick was basically having sex so he shouldn't interrupt. The blue eyed boy continued his way through the corridor until someone was jumping beside him. He looked down and smiled, picking it up.

''Hey! You came out.''

''Yeah... I'm kinda hungry so I thought that finding the kitchen would be a good thing.'' he explained.

''That's nice.'' the candlestick smiles ''Aren't you scared? Of walking on the corridors at night.''

''Kind of, the statues bother me but I can't do something about it.''

''Me too, it's been like this for a couple years but I got used to it since I have to see them everyday.'' the candlestick explains ''My name is Calum by the way.''

''I'm Luke.''

The candlestick smiles and doesn't answer, only looking foward. He gives some instructions to the kitchen and turns out it is not that far. They follow the last corridor and hear some voices coming from the kitchen, light coming from there as well. The voices got louder as they approached the door.

''A cooking masterpiece, from the best chef of this country - going to waste for nothing!'' a strong voice said.

''Yeah, just because your mom says that it doesn't mean it's true.'' Mrs.Wilson sasses, making Luke laugh loudly and they turn around noticing his presence ''Oh, dear! How are you?''

''I'm good, thank you.''

The clock quickly appears out of nowhere and is standing next to Luke. He was black and a pale yellow, its numbers being black aswell. The clock clares his throat and stands in front of the boy.

''I don't think we were introduced perfectly; my name is Michael, head of the household. If there is anything we can do for you to be comfortable in your stay just shout, we won't mind!'' The clock timidly smiles and Luke shakes his 'hand'.

''I am Luke. Feelin' a little hungry.''

Mrs.Wilson appears ''Hungry? I'm not going to let you starve!''

''Remember what Ashton said!''

''Oh, shut up! Be less frightened of him, if you show him fear then he will be more powerful over you!''

Michael sighs ''I guess bread, a cup of water and-''

''Michael, what the fuck? He is not our prisioner, he is our guest! Treat him with respect!'' He turns to Luke and cracks a smile ''Follow me Luke.''

They go throught the corridors again but this time to the dining room (Luke suspects). There weren't that many statues on this one - maybe because it's made for food delivery and not to show off - but there are some painting of nature. It might be the workers place for those who live in the castle, since there are lots of rooms next to each other and it's not that fancy like the rest of the castle.

Michael and Calum are walking beside each other and in front of the pale boy, leading the way to their destination. He hummed to Hold Back The River but stopped when they got there. The room was a dark pink along with brown stripes, there was a big table on the center and chairs around it. Too many chairs - maybe they used to have lots of guests, he thinks. Calum told him to sit on a chair while Michael begged to keep it quiet.

The food was soon brought to the table. There were pizzas, scones, soup. Anything you could be craving right now they put on the table - it was just amazing.

''It's my first time on a enchanted castle.'' Luke says, trying to create some humour.

''Enchanted-enchanted castle? Who talked about an echanted castle?'' Michael turns to Calum who was watching his fire intently. The clock slaps the back of his head.

''Ow! What was that for?''

''You told him, you told him about it you cheeky bastard!''

Luke laughs and pokes Michael ''I found papers under my bed that told the whole story. But don't worry, your secret is safe with me.'' he winks to the objects playfully and they laughed.

''I'm sorry it's just... it's a hard time for all of us.'' Michael apologized.

''It's okay.''

There is an awkward silence again while Luke eats until Calum speaks up.

''I wish there was some music, what is dinner without music?''

''Music?'' Luke asks ''I know a couple of songs.''

''You... you do?'' the candlestick curiously asks.

Michael gasps ''We can't make noise! Ashton will come down and-''

Calum groans, interrupting Michael ''Can you just stop? Remember what Mrs.Wilson said! You can't be scared or he will have more power over you! I don't care if he is a beast or bigger than me, it doesn't frighten me and you shouldn't be scared too.''

Small chairs quickly started playing, not too loud since they didn't want to bother their master. Luke chuckled and kept eating until the end.

''Now it's time for bed.'' Michael warns, afraid that Ashton might wake up and yell at them.

''No no, I want to explore! If that's alright.''

''Do you want me to- Seriously Michael, STOP HITTING ME!''

''Ashton will be mad.''

''You need to stop worrying about Ashton.''

Luke laughs at the two fighting again ''It's okay, I can always go tomorrow.''

Luke gets up and says goonight, walking to his room. The sun started rising and he felt like when he was fourteen and stayed up all night reading various books - his mom always complained. He smiled ath the thought of his mother who was now dead. He tried not to get upset over it, the fact that 3/4 of his family is dead and he only had Ben now, but sometimes it is almost impossible. Ben is great, he loves is brother, but sometimes some mother love was necessary too.

And as he layed down on the large bed only wearing a shirt he thought about Ben. He wished there was a way he could see him without putting Ben and himself in danger.

In that night he dreamed about his family back.
