"I'm glad you think so. I don't want to demonstrate."
*He heaved a sigh*
"You realize, I can't simply let you leave now."

"What?! No- I won't tell anybody, just let me go!"
*If he was a vampire... She knew all too well what she'd be used for. And becoming someone's dinner wasn't what she'd had planned for Paris.*

*Part of him knew he was simply using this as an excuse to keep her here, but he ignored it.
Krolock crossed his arms*
"How long would you be able to keep it to yourself? Such knowledge...and, it can be read in your mind by those I do not wish to speak to."
*He was referring, of course, to other Parisian vampires. Most of them were not his sort of company*

"That's not fair!" *she protested indignantly, her eyes darting to the staircase behind him, weighing her her chances of getting around him, though she held her ground for the time being.*

*His look became regretful*
"No, it isn't. But I can't take that chance."

*Without warning, she tried to dart around him and flee up the stairs.*

*He reacted without thinking, grabbing her before she could get past him. He held her arm, firmly but not hurting her*
"No. I'm sorry."

*He could see already how difficult the situation was going to be, and felt sorry for it. He would not, however, back down from his resolve*
"I would let you go if I could."
*He turned and started up the stairs, pulling her along behind him. Regrettably, he knew, he'd have to lock her in somewhere*

"You can't do this to me," *she protested loudly, trying to pull away.*

*His expression had turned grim*
"I can, and I am going to."
*Eventually, they reached one of the bedrooms off in the east wing of the castle. Still holding her arm, he opened the door with his free hand*
"Your new accommodations."

*She resisted as much as possible, but the vampire was larger than her, and his cold grip on her arm was as strong as steel. Once in the room, she glared at him with her arms crossed.*

"I will have to lock you in, until I can figure out what to do with you. Until then, you have run of this suite and can make it your own."
*The regret that he felt for the situation crept into his voice*
"I am truly sorry, Belle."

"I'm sure," *She said still glaring, but she could feel tears prickling at the corners of her eyes.*

*He wanted to say more, something reassuring, but it wouldn't got down well at the moment. Instead, he simply bowed his head before leaving her--and locking the door behind him.
He stood in the hallway a few moments, wondering at himself, before silently moving away. He needed to think*
