As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.
What am I?

OK. Piece of cake:
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

No, it's not death, but you have 2 letters correct. 
Sorry for the Not-so-fun riddle. I'll have to do better next time around. (I wasn't prepared to offer a riddle when I guessed Edge's.

The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place.
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place.

Two fathers and their two sons walk into a shop. They each buy one item costing £1. The chap at the till charges them £3 in total, and they walk out of the shop.
No laws have been broken, and there was no special offer in the shop. What the hell's going on?

Well, one was grandpa, one was his son, and the other was the grandson.
3 people....but 2 were fathers and 2 were sons. (Although technically, all 3 were sons.)
