Alexi woke up when she heard her phone ringing, she got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself, she answered the phone and heard one of her friends on the other side, they all knew that she hadn't stayed the night and they were saying that she bailed out on the dare.
She just hung up on them and then went over to her bed, lying down and looking out her window, where she had a view of the castle

The beast sighed as he found himself painting a picture of bell. She looked so beautiful and he wished that he could speak with her again. Yet she was gone and she would stay that way. Once he was done with the paintin he put it on the Liao of painting of her. He headed into his library and started to read some of the other book he had. He had thousands of them but some where falling apart so he had to be careful. He soon sat in the corner of the room reading and not moving.

Alexi got up after a while and got dressed, it was only while was dressing that she realized that she had left her entire backpack behind when she fell a second time... She would need to go back and get it...
Oh God..... She would have to go back...

The beast sighed as he read his books and relaxed. It was a quiet morning just like every other morning wich he liked but it was lonely. He soon set down his book and headed over to the window. he saw only a few people moving outside and he then saw something in his yard. It looked like a pack or something. He made his way to the door and when no one was looking he darted outside, grabbed the bag and darted back inside. Once he was inside he sat down on the floor and started to examin it. It was probably that girls or something.

He would see the blanket and the pillow tied to it, and if her figured out how to unzip it then he would find several other odd little items; but the things he would recognize among them? A brush and a few books

The beast sat the stuff he knew about on the ground and he soon found a way to open the zipper. He then rummaged threw the bag and when he saw things he didn't know he kept them in there. Soon he set everything in a pile and headed over to his libaray again.

Alexi finished getting dressed and decided that it would be best to get her bag while it was still daytime, so, grabbing her cellphone and putting it in her pocket she run out of her house and back towards the castle
It seemed much less intimidating in the day. She approached the metal gates and slowly pushed them open enough for her to be able to sqeeuze through... Not causing that creaking sound

The beast continued to read and found that he was enjoying this book. It was one he hadn't read in a very long time and he was getting lost in the book. He sat down infront of one of the large book cases and looked content there as he head his book.

Alexi made her way inside the palace grounds and looked around for her bag, realizing that it wasn't where she thought it was, "Crap... I hope I didn't leave it inside.." She glanced at the palace doors, wondering if she should risk going in there... Would it attack her during the day?

The beast felt his stomach rumble and he set his book down gently. He then headed out of there and towards his guarden. He grabbed a few food supplies and started to make some lunch. He didnt' even hear anyone near his house.

Alexi took a deep breath, knowing that the sooner she got her stuff the quicker she could get out and she could move on with her life, "Here goes nothing." She walked up to the door and pushed it open, peeking her head inside to make sure that it was safe before she walked inside

The beast didnt' even hear her for he was bussy in the kitchen. he had decided to make something special to eat, something like soup. He was bussy cutting everything and putting it into the pot he had sitting over a fire. He wasn't hte best cook but he had learned to deal with what he had.

Alexi left the door open so that way she could make a quick getaway if she needed to.
Sure enough there was her bag on the ground, but her items had been taken out and set on the floor, "Great." She muttered.
She knelt down next to her bag and started to quickly shove her items back into the bag

The beast soon was done with his soup and put some in a bowel. It smelled great and he smiled as he headed out of there. He would eat while reading, it was one of his favorite things to do. but as he stepped out of the kitchen she saw her and for once he had no idea what to say. The only thing that came out was, "what the-what are you doing in here?"

Alexi froze when she heard the voice from earlier, she didn't look up, "I.. I left my things... I was just coming back here to get them." Her hands startled to tremble as she quickly tried to put back all of her things. Though in the process her hand came into contact with something sharp, her pencil most likely, and it cut her hand a little, "Ow!" She whispered as she pulled her hand back, a little blotch of blood could be seen

The beast sighed and should of guessed that she would be back for her stuff. He gently set his food down on a table and walked over to her when she said ow. He oculd smell her blood and guessed that she hurt herself. the sooner he helped her get out the sooner he could eat. "you have to be careful." he said as he took her hand into his bear/gorilla like hands. With a surprising gentalness he looked it over and once he pulled out what looked like a hanky he wrapped it around her hand and tied it neatly, "now get out, your trespassing." he said as he moved back over to his food. he wasn't in the mood for scaring now.

Alexi was terrified when the beast moved over to her, thinking that she would really get it now... But no... Instead he showed her an act of kindness and wrapped her hand up, "T-Thank y-y-you." She managed to say.
She finished packing her stuff and then put her backpack on, quickly heading to the door, "I'm sorry for troubling you!" She said quickly before walking out and making her way to the metal gate

The beast nodded when she said thank you and watched her head to the door. Once she was gone he nodded happily and started to eat his soup and headed into his library. He liked the quiet that her absence brougth and yet he felt lonely. Something about her being here was something he wanted now. Oh well. NOthing he could do about it now so he headed into his library and started to read and eat.

Alexi put her hand on the metal gate, "Hm..." She reached into her bag and brought out something, then she walked back and placed it in front of the door, she walked back to the gate then she pushed the it open and made her way back home

The beast continued to read and eat. He thought that she had left completely and he would go outside to make sure that she was gone later. He wanted to enjoy his soup and book for now.

Alexi had returned home once again, deciding that she would skip out on school today.. She decided to keep herself busy by cleaning around the house and making some much needed errands. Her mind always wandering back to the beast

Once the beast was done with his food and the his book. He then headed outside to make sure that she wasn't there and when he poked his head outside he saw no one and smiled. But when he looked down he saw something on the ground and got closer to see what it was.

It looked like she had left behind some food, had she left it behind for him? It would appear that way. Either way it would smell and look delicious

The beast was slightly surprised by the food, it smelled and looked like nothing else he had eaten. He gently picked it up and headed inside. He went into his library and started to eat the new food and found it tasted wonderful.

Alexi wondered as she cleaned up around the house if that creature had found the food... It had been a sort of peace offering, to assure him that she really had meant no harm and she was just going there to get her stuff
