Recap:

"Relax and rest up because tonight is the first show!" Before they could say anything else Blue disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.

Chloe and Alek stood there trying to get their bearings back after the purple smoke disappeared. Alek shook his head, turned around, opened the door and went in followed by Chloe. Once the door closed they stood there in an awkward silence just staring at each other. They didn't know what they could do for the next couple of hours before the show. "S-Should we rehearse again?" Chloe questioned meekily. "Since we never finished rehearsing the script…" She stated a second later to back up her request.

Alek cocked his head to the side looking at Chloe curiously. "Um…sure…" They started rehearsing until they got to a certain part of the play that was near the end. Alek was lying down on the couch pretending to be dead and Chloe was kneeling near him pretending to cry. When she read what she had to do next she let out a screech followed with a "HELL NO!"

Alek cracked open one eye and said "What?"

"there is NO WAY! And I mean NO WAY! That I am doing this part!" Chloe screamed blushing tremendously as she waved the script around in the air angrily.

Alek raised an eyebrow before grabbing the script from her his eyes quickly dashing around as he read the content of the script that had Chloe so outraged. A smirk soon took residence on his face as he looked up at Chloe with mischievious eyes. "I don't see what the problem is" He crooned out.

"I am NOT and I repeat NOT doing that!" Chloe yelled out her face getting redder and redder with each passing second.

"Why not? I don't have a problem with it…in fact… I highly in force it…" Alek stated mischieviously.

Chloe let out an embarrassed scream as she slapt Alek on the shoulders yelling "ALEK!". Alek could only laugh as Chloe tried to hurt him with her slaps but failed miserably.

A big cloud of purple smoke filled the area and hold and behold a coughing attack victim known as Blue stood there in her Director's outfit.

"What is with all the screaming and yelling!" Blue yelled out glaring at the source of the screams meaning Chloe. "You sound like a stinkin' banshee woman! I can hear you from the studio!"

Chloe stopped her assault on Alek and they turned to look at an overly-annoyed Blue. "Sorry…"Chloe muttured out weakly as Alek moved up a bit so Chloe could lean on his chest as his arms wrapped around her in the hopes of protecting her from Blue if she were to attack.

After several minutes of silence Blue said "Well? Why were you screaming?" as she crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh um…" Chloe started trying to remember. "OH! That I refuse to do a part of a scene!"

"What part?" Blue questioned.

Alek smirked and answered "The part where I'm dead and Chloe is crying right next to me and she has to…" Chloe shushed him and refused to let him speak but it looks like Blue knew what he was going to say.

"WHAT! You have to do that scene! That's the finale! It's what everyone is going to be waiting for!" Blue yelled out.

"B-But!" Chloe started to argue but Blue would have none of that.

"No! Your doing that scene and that's final!"

"Besides it's not like I mind" Alek mischieviously said.

"Shut up!" Chloe and Blue yelled at him. He let out a small whimper and tried to find a way to go into the couch.

"Your going to do that scene Chloe! You have to!" Blue said staring down Chloe. Chloe stared her down but gave in grunting out a fine though she's not happy about it. Blue took a glance at her Michael Kors purple watch and said "And by the looks of it the show is going to start in an hour. I better take you two to costume and make-up."

Alek got up from the couch to stand behind Chloe. Blue closed her eyes and when she opened them again they were a deep purple then poof a purple cloud appeared over them when it disappeared Blue and the two lovebirds were gone.

Back in the studio all the workers were running around like crazy chickens that had lost their heads making last minute repairs and making sure everything was ready. The purple cloud appeared in the stage making several scenery workers scream and scurry out of the way like mice. Blue started having a cough attack while Chloe and Alek tried to get their bearings.

Blue clapped her hands after getting over her attack and yelled out "LILI!" Lili came rushing over her eyes a bit watery with a…could it be… a Dunkin Donut box! "THE DONUTS!" Blue yelled out happily completely forgetting what she was going to say. "Give me! Give me!" She cried out cheerfully like a kid...which she technically is…

Lili started stuttering and looking around nervously. "U-Um…well you see Blue… um… I…"

Blue opened the box gleefully only to see nothing. Not even a crumb. "Lili…" Blue started. "Where…are…the…donuts!" She said in a steely steady slow haunting voice.

"Um…you see I bought them… but I sort of ate them on the way here…" Lili stuttered out nervously.

"YOU WHAT!" Blue yelled out fire burning in her eyes. "HOW COULD YOU! WHY I OTTA!" Blue jumped and her hands wound around Lili's neck to strangle her.

Chloe and Alek immediately grabbed onto Blue trying to pull her off Lili who Blue was shaking like a marrraca and choking. Red and several other workers came running to help stop Blue from killing Lili. Luckily they were finally able to separate them. Red immediately clasped his arms around Blue's body forcing her arms to stay put caged by his arms against her body.

She struggled to get out of his grip while he whispered calming words into her ear while the other workers checked Lili to make sure she was okay. Blue soon calmed down enough for Red to let her go. Lili ,Chloe, and Alek looked at her warily and Blue took a deep breath. "Lili…take Chloe and Alek to costume and make up…Now!" Lili looked like she wanted to say something but knew better than to deny Blue's request so she immediately complied grabbing Chloe's wrist and Alek's hand as she dragged them away to costume and make up.

The whole set was silent. Everyone had seen or heard about Blue's little "attack" on Lili. You could hear a pin drop or you could hear a very angry Alek yell vibrate through the set as he yelled out "I AM NOT WEARING MAKE-UP! I AM A MAN! MEN DO NOT WEAR MAKE UP!" Then an echo of a slap and Alek's cry of pain was heard. Either Chloe or Lili slapped him but by the sound of the slap it looks like they both slapped him.

Blue took deep calming breaths as she overlooked the set making sure everything was perfect and that all the sound effects were fine and so on. She then went to check on Chloe who was getting her costume on. "You look great!" Blue complimented as she caught sight of Chloe. Chloe smiled and thanked her.

Blue then made her way to the other side of the set were Alek was getting his costume on. She glanced in only to get a shirt thrown at her face. "WAAH!" Blue yelled as she stumbled back a bit from the shock. "What the hell!" She exclaimed taking the shirt off her face to find herself staring at a very amusing sight. Alek was clothed in only his boxers and was getting chased by the Fabolous Lou, the costume designer for men.

Blue just stared as Alek ran away in his boxers yelling "NO!" as poor Lou chased him. Lou was a man in his 30's with perfectly-combed blond hair, perfectly long and French painted finger nails, high waisted dark brown trousers with a hot pink up to the elbows shirt. Fabolous Lou is his designer name. You could say that Lou was in touch with his feminine side really really well if you catch my drift.

"Get back here!" Lou yelled out in a high pitched voice. Blue couldn't help but start laughing. Her sudden laughing caught the attention of Alek and Lou and they stopped running to look over at her.

"What's going on?" Blue questioned as she strutted in trying to control her laughter.

"Blue, sweetie! Thank goodness you're here!" Lou said. "Please explain to

Alek-poo that he has to let me put his costume on him."

"Blue! Tell this man to stay away from me! I can dress myself!" Alek snapped taking several steps away from the man getting closer to Blue as he glared at Lou.

"No you can not!" Lou shouted outraged. "You can not put on this costume by yourself! It is too difficult!" He yelled as he waved a piece of fabric around in the air. "Now stop acting like a cry baby and come here!" He yelled taking a menacing step forward torwards Alek.

Alek placed himself behind Blue in hopes of her protecting him. Her. A girl who was shorter than him not to mention younger. "Stay away from me!" Alek yelled out hiding behind Blue.

Blue rolled her eyes as Lou and Alek started yelling insults at one another and so on as Lou kept trying to get to Alek and Alek would maneuver Blue in between them. A couple seconds later Blue got annoyed and bonked both Lou and Alek on the head. "SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!" They quited down and looked at her with widen eyes as they both simultaneously rubbed the sore spot on the head.

"Alek! Stop your stupid nonsense and let Lou dress you! You really can't change into these costumes by yourself." Blue stated glaring at him with her arms crossed seriously wondering how she got herself involved in this predictament.

"WHAT! YOUR TAKING HIS SIDE!" Alek yelled out like a whining baby pointing an accusing finger at Lou who stuck his tongue out in response.

Blue sweatdropped and the words Am I dealing with a teen and an adult or am I dealing with 5 years old.

"Now both of you stop acting like two immature brats. The show is going to start soon. Lou put Alek in costume. Alek let him put you in costume. If I have to come back here again because of this little problem or any problem for that matter than well…you don't want to know what I'll do to you two. Understand?" Blue questioned.

Alek and Lou nodded their heads scared out of their wits. "Good." Blue said nodding her head before she took her leave heading out the door. She then made her way towards the entrance to see how everything was going. As she walked in the employees only walkway she came across poor ol' Jeffrey battered, bruised, limping and staggering. His shirt was ripped all over leaving only a couple of strands of fabric on his chest. His jeans had rips in them(and they were not there before) He had scratch marks on his biceps and his face looked tired and distraught. His spiky hair was damped and going down and not to mention unruly. He had dirt and mud covering all of his body, his lip was broken a bit, and his eye was purple meaning something or someone hit him.

"JEFFREY! WHAT HAPPENED!" Blue yelled out concerned as she ran forward to steady and support him.

He tried to speak but only incoherent sounds came out. Now that she was closer she could see that his lip had been broken but was already stitched up and that light colored bruises covered his body along with small slashes. Blue looked worridly into his eyes and said "Jeffrey…what happened?"

Jeffrey tried to speak again and was able to force the words "…" He grunted and almost fell over but Blue kept a firm grip on him not letting him fall.

"Lili? She did this? Impossible…" Blue said.

Jeffrey nodded his head and croaked out "No. She. Didn't." His voice was slurred,creaky, and raspy. It was also extremely low.

"Just think it. Just think it." Blue murmured. Jeffrey weakly nodded and closed his eyes. Blue stared at him for a second before her eyes started glowing an eerie

white-blue. Lili was chasing me and bumped into several creepy guys. She ignored them and kept chasing me. She caught me right in front of Dunkin Donuts so she dragged me in and we bought the box. She went running outside leaving me behind to pay. By the time I got out she was turning a corner. I ran to catch up to find her talking to the scary guys from before. I figured they mentioned that she bumped into them and she told them sorry. One of them claimed that he took a liking to her and she got freaked out. They cornered her and I immediately threw myself at them pushing them out of the way and yelled to Lili to run back here. She complied and I ended up fighting them. I figure she ate all the donuts in her haste to get here. She only does that when she's scared and worried.

The eerie coloration of Blue's eyes disappeared as she blinked, opening her eyes wide with shock. "But what about these slashes! You can't get these from a regular fight!" Jeffrey looked at Blue and Blue understood going back into her eerie eye color trance to read Jeffrey's mind. They didn't exactly play fair. They fought dirty. They had knives…lots of them…Oh and I already went to the hospital and no I didn't report to them what happened I just said that I got hurt in a race track and I gave a fake name. Jonny McGrubby in case your wondering.

Blue rolled her eyes not believing that Jeffrey was trying to humor her while being injured. "Come on let's get you sitting down and I'll get your understudy…"

"NO! I CAN DO I!" Jeffrey yelled out. He and Blue had a show down where Blue sighed in resignation and agreed though she didn't think it was wise. She then walked him to costume making sure that Lili didn't catch sight of him because if she did all hell would break loose. Lili would no doubt after babying Jeffrey would go hunt down the creeps and no doubt get herself in major trouble leaving Blue to go save her…that is if she could…

As Blue walked Jeffrey to make up the words I don't like this ran through her mind. After depositing Jeffrey in make up and costume she walked back to the front to help in seating people. Several people came to shake hands with her and tell her that they were excited to see her latest production. Blue smiled and answered accordingly basking in the love her fans were giving her. She truly did love her job. Let's face it: She loved her fans. The show would be nothing without them.

"BLUE!"

Blue turned to see Sunny waving madly as she pushed her way through the crowd wearing a wine red cocktail dress with a white silk shawl. "Hey Sunny." Blue greeted nodding her head. "Why so fancy?" She questioned raising an eyebrow.

"It's not every day I can actually come to the live show." Sunny said. A second later she added "And also I'm here with John!" She shyly smiled. Blue grinned and nodded her head laughing slightly.

"By the way…what did you tell my manager to let me leave?" Sunny questioned.

She was going to find out anyway so Blue figured it was best to tell her. Well…

Flashback:

Blue went into the manager's door. "Word is that your making the waiters work overtime." Mr. Grouchy Pants as she liked to call him just stared at her like a deer caught in headlights. Blue smoothly sat down in the seat in front of his desk crossing her legs calmly. "Now I would like you to let your waitress Sunny take the rest of the day off."

"Why?" Grouchy Pants asked.

"Because she will be unable to see the show tonight due to this new schedule and I want to see her there!"

Grouchy pants opened his mouth to protest but Blue cut him off. "I know for a fact that your doing this extra hours thing without Mrs. E knowing, your paying the waiters and waitresses there regular pay instead of paying more, and your smuggling the extra money into your hidden bank account and deducting the extra supplies from the restaurant's bank account making it have a debt. Your taking advantage of her absence to make yourself rich. So if you don't want me to inform Mrs. E about everything you'll let her off."

"Fine…" Blue smiled victoriously as she got up and sauntered out of the office.

End Flashback:

"OMG!" Sunny said. "Mr. D is a CROOK!"

"SHHH!" Blue whispered looking around while she clamped her hand over Sunny's mouth. "QUITE! I don't want people to hear."

"Sorry…but don't you have to inform Mrs. E about Mr. D's wrong doings."

"Oh she already knows" Blue stated carelessly.

"Wha?" Sunny said confused.

"She's known for a while now. So does the police. She's the one who told me in fact. She just doesn't want to deal with the problem while she's with baby but the police are tracking and there's hidden cameras and everything in the office courtesy of yours truly." Blue said grinning.

"So…you lied to Mr. D?" Sunny questioned fighting off a smile.

"No. I didn't. He is technically doing everything behind Mrs. E's back. I just used the information I knew to get him to do my will. Besides I told him that I wouldn't tell her and I havn't. She already knew." Blue grinned proud of her accomplishment.

Sunny smiled before hearing a male voice yell "Sunny."

Sunny and Blue turned to see a man waving. "Oh that's John! Well I'll better go! Goodbye Blue! Can't wait for the show!" Sunny said cheerfully as she made her way to John. He is so going to propose to her soon. Blue thought.

Blue then looked at her watch and frowned. It was almost time for the show to start and her special guests still hadn't arrived. Where are they? I sent for them a while ago.

She then heard a commotion outside. She hurried over to see her guards arguing with a large group. She smiled as she made her way over to them.

"BLUE!" They shouted upon seeing her.

"Glad you could make it!" Blue stated as she got to them. "It's okay there with me" She told the guards. They nodded and moved out of the way to allow the group passage. Blue had to fight the urge to keep a certain member of the group out of the building but knew that she couldn't. She smiled cheerfully as she gave everyone a hug and smiled fakely with the certain member.

"Come on. Let me take you to your seats. The show is going to start soon." Blue stated as she took the group to their seats. She then disappeared as she made her way to the stage. Before going on she changed outfits in a blink of an eye and was wearing a shiny blue dress that went up to a bit past mid-thigh. Her hair was slightly curled, she had a bit of make-up, and was wearing silver heels.

"Hello people! Are you ready for tonight's feature presentation!" She questioned into the headset mike she had. The crowd responded in loud applause. "We have a great show for you tonight! Let me give you guys a short run-down! The two main leads will be played by Chloe and Alek!" She shouted as a picture of Chloe and Alek appeared behind her on the curtains(thank you projectors)

"Alright! Alright! I know you guys are excited so I'll stop the casting there! I hope you enjoy!" Blue left the stage with the sound of insane clapping and whistling. The curtains open and the show begins.

Author's Note: Go back to chapter 6-9 if you want to see the show. Just ignore the Blue parts(except when she's the "sorcerer") and stop reading when in chapter 9 you get to the white light part. The three characters besides Alek and Chloe that will make an appearance in the play are: Blue- Plays the Sorceror; Jeffrey- Plays Maurice; and lastly Lili-plays the pack of rabid wolves(there will be holograms of her to make it seem as if there are many and she is in a costume. All the other characters even though in the chapters are played by the rest of TNLOCK cast the actual performance the characters will be played by random people. Thank You and enjoy. Now I shall fast forward to where we left off.

Chloe felt her heart lurch in her chest and she knew that Alek was gone. "ALEK!" Chloe yelled out one final time before she collapsed on the floor right then and there and started crying up a storm; grief for the loss of Alek filling her up to the core…

Gaston, Dr. Doctor, and The Nurse stared at Chloe as if she was crazy. She quickly got off and push past them jumping on her horse and racing home(aka Alek's mansion/castle. She now considers it home) She passed her house and Maurice saw her. "CHLOE!" He yelled running to try to catch up with her…which was impossible for his old bones especially since she was on a horse.

"ALEK! HE'S DEAD! I HAVE TO GO BACK!" She yelled before disappearing into the woods.

"CHLOE!" He yelled out in anguish falling to his knees.

"Old man! Where is your daughter?" Gaston questioned sauntering over.

"Gone! She's gone back to the beast!" Maurice yelled out. Gaston was starting to question if everyone in Maurice's family is crazy but he figured hey why not go save Chloe from the so call beast and then marry her.

"I will go rescue her!" Gaston stated trudging to the front of the woods with his sidekick Le Fou. He turned around to see all of the townspeople gathering round. "I will go save your daughter from that retched beast you speak up!"

"Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank You Gaston! I don't know how I'll ever repay you!" Maurice yelled out.

"By giving me your daughter's hand in marriage!" Gaston yelled loudly.

Maurice paled knowing that Chloe would resent him for the rest of her life if he agreed to this but he only wished for her safety and being with the beast was not the best for her safety. "I-I agree. Let all the town hear that I Maurice, promise you,Gaston my daughter, Chloe's hand in marriage if you rescue her from the beast and bring her back home safe."

Maurice moved his head down in shame. It was done. He had done the contract with the people as witnesses.

"I shall be off!" Gaston yelled taking a step into the woods. "Oh! One more thing! I'll let Chloe know how your not safe enough to see her since you'll be in a mental facility for the rest of your life!" Gaston yelled as Dr. Doctor and the mental ward workers grabbed Maurice pulling him up to his feet and forcing him into a small cage on a carriage.

"You can't do this! NO!" Maurice yelled as Gaston and his sidekick left into the woods as his carriage left to take him to the mental ward. "Oh no…what have I done… have I promised my daughter to a worst fate then with the beast." Maurice whispered to himself. "Forgive me… Chloe…"

Meanwhile with Chloe:

Chloe had just gotten back to her home and jumped off her horse feeling tears well up again in her eyes as she pushed open the doors running inside, up the stairs, till she made it to Alek's room. She burst in to the room that was filled with sadness, grief, pain, suffering, and death.

All of the castle's occupants were inside the room mourning for the loss of their Master. "CHLOE!" They all yelled shocked that she had returned. Chloe fell to her knees next to Alek's bed where he layed in eternal sleep.

"Alek! Alek! I'm sorry!" Chloe whispered out crying. "If I had never shown up you would never be dead. I'm sorry…" A tear fell from her eye landing on Alek's face. Two tears on his eyes, two tears on his cheeks, one tear on his nose, and three tears on his lips. Chloe slowly lent in, closing her eyes and kissed his lips.

Time seemed to stand still. The occupants were all with their mouths hanging wide open. No one could say a word not even a sound. Not that they could because Time did indeed stand still. Black smoke enveloped the floor near the foot of the bed. The lights flickered on and off before a power outage happened and it was dark. A bright light fell only on a form that started taking shape and once the smoke disappeared in it's place was the Sorceror.

"Thy spell that was cast on Thee Alek was for not showing kindness to an old little lady who was really me in disguise! I cursed thee! I took pity on thou and helped you get to the girl up in the tower. Yet you die! You Die! You Die to protect her!" The Sorceror points to Chloe's form that is still frozen in time. Her lips on Alek's. "A mere girl who means everything for thou yet thou means nothing to her. A girl you saved not for the curse but from your own heart. I shall take pity on you and the girl. For the girl cries and weeps for a monster like thou. She weeps for your death and blames herself. She blames herself wrongly."

The Sorceror pauses as she whips out her golden staff and raises it above her head. "I take pity on thou Alek! You died before the rose died to save a girl's life. A girl who despised you! You showed compassion! A trait you were missing before! You also showed love! So for those two great acts I take pity on you! You shall not die!" The Sorceror's staff starts glowing. She points it towards Alek's dead form and several different colored lights(thank you laser effects) shower the room.

The Sorceror's dark cloud appears around her enveloping her. Once it disappears so does she. Her voice rings out. "I took pity on thee! Thou was kissed by a girl! Yet you have not earned her love! The curse of beast stays strong on thou! Be Quick! For the clock is ticking! Or shall I say: the Petals are falling!"

Time continues as the lights go back on and Chloe slowly retreats from kissing Alek. A single tear now falls from her eyes landing on Alek's heart. His eyes soon start twitching. A second later they slowly open. His vision is blurry but soon comes into focus. "Y-Your back." He murmured as he weakly pushed his hand onto's Chloe's cheek for a second before sliding it down losing strength.

Chloe gripped his hand to her cheek crying in shock and joy. "Y-Your ALIVE!" She pounced on him throwing herself onto the bed to hug him. He smiled weakly and comforted Chloe who had been crying for him. Right when he found the strength to place an arm around Chloe the door banged open and Gaston came in. Once he caught sight of Chloe on the bed with a…with a…with a BEAST he yelled "STAY AWAY FROM HER YOU BEAST!" He quickly dashed grabbing Chloe and pulling her away from Alek's embrace into his own stepping back several steps glaring at Alek.

"Gaston! Let me go!" Chloe yelled.

"C-Chloe!" Alek weakly cried out. "L-Let her go!" He pleaded to Gaston struggling to get up.

"Do not worry my dear I shall kill him and then we can get married like planned!" Gaston yelled throwing Chloe into the arms of his sidekick as he took out his sword. When Alek heard that they planned to get married his heart broke into a million of pieces. He should have known that Chloe didn't care even the slightest bit about him.

A cry and a thump were heard as the furniture and items in the house came alive to fight. Gaston was pushed onto the floor by the Wardrobe. Chloe started running to Alek but Gaston grabbed her ankle making her fall. Chloe cried out in pain as she fell and felt her ankle get twisted.

Alek felt a burning rage towards this man who hurt Chloe. He somehow found the strength to get up from bed and run to Chloe's aide raising her up and putting her behind him. Gaston threw the Wardrobe off of him almost breaking her doors as he got up murder apparent in his eyes. Alek let out a roar and charged at Gaston hitting him like a football player, ramming him through the door that broke and down the stair railings. Then there was silence.

"Alek! Chloe yelled while she ran down the stairs. The Wardrobe holding Gaston's little sidekick hostage. Chloe felt fear pierce her heart as she saw blood surrounding Alek. Gaston was under Alek but his body could not be seen. The question that ran through Chloe's head was: The pool of blood around the bodies…who's blood is it…Gaston's…or Alek's….
