the witch of the woods

The beginning

'Why? Why is this me? I don't want to be with him. I'd rather run away then be with him' was all I could think as I wrote in my diary. Dear Diary. Day 100. well, he's at it again, gloating about how he defeated the beast. I don't care about that....cause I believe he's still out there. No one knows this but, Belle and her dad escape the insane asylum years ago. Like when I was two. They think there safe but I know their not. I want to kill him. I want to kill my dad. He doesn't even deserve that title cause I don't see him as a dad. I see him as a someone that just wants fame. well I'm done with it. I don't want to be here anymore. I'm leaving. He'll get mad but I don't care anymore, I just don't. This town and Gaston are idiot. I'll write back once I find a place to stay. I close my diary and put it in a bag I made. I put my blanket in it, the one thing that reminds me of my mother. I sigh and fill it with more things like a plushie, a pillow, some cloths, lighting and some things to write on. I sling it on and leave through the window

I go to the book shop were bell went years ago and I enter "Cristal? what are you doing here late at night?" the book shop owner ask. I look at the books "I'm leaving the town....I want to be free from Gaston and these people" I look at the book bell read almost all the time. He smiled and handed me the book "It's yours. Belle's home is not far from here. You can go in there and see if you can get her books" I smile and hugged him "Thank you. So much" I exclaimed. He smiled as I pulled away "I'll see you around sir!" I said as I left and went to belle's home. I get to her home and smiles 'She has a pretty home' I go inside and take as many books as I could 'I promise belle. Once I find you, I'll hand these back to you' I leave and head to the woods. I walk to the woods and for once, I smile. "I'm happy, I'm finally happy but I have to see someone before I actually leave." I walk to a hill were there is a grave  with my last name. I look for flowers but I couldn't  find any. I smile a bit "Hay mom, I miss you a lot. Gaston is still gloating about how he defeated the beast but I believe he's still out there with belle." I look at the sky to see the sun rising. I sigh "I better go mom. The sun is rising and I need to go. Love you" I said getting up. I walk away from the grave as tears fall.

I walk and walk. Not stopping or not even turning back. I stop at some point as I see a river and I smile "Water" I go to the river and drink the water feeling better after hours of walking "That's better" I said as I got up when I notice the river kinda leave a trail "I'll follow this river  to see were it leads me" I walk were the river flows and the day flew by fast from day to night again. I'm a bit startled as it became night "Dang. The day pasted by fast" I keep walking but I stop once I hear howling. I feel my heart pounding and my stomach turning "Th-The wolves are far. I'm sure I'll be ok" I keep walking with my stomach still turning and my heart pounding. The howling from the wolves became louder with every step I took and I started to run. The bushes were being moved like someone was there so I just ran. The wolves come out of hiding and immediately ran after me. I keep running before I trip on something and hit the ground. I turn to face the wolves trying to back up to a tree as one of the wolves attack me. I had no choice but to scream cause it hurt but I grabbed a stick did my best to back them off.

I back up to the tree but in fear but the wolves get closer when we heard a growl. I put the stick down and look around "What was that?!" I ask myself as the wolves got closer. Tears fall down my face out of fear when a bit furry creature come in my view of the wolves "Huh!?" It was the beast, He just got rid of the wolves like it was nothing when I heard foot steps from a human "You ok dear?!" I turn to see belle with my leg bleeding "Belle" She smiles and nods "You know me I see" I nod very fast "Yes I do" I smiled clearly happy "Why are you out here so late little one?" the beast ask and my smile faded as I looked away "I'm....running away from home...." The looked at me shocked and both saying "why!?" I sigh. "My father...is Gaston....I hate him. I hate the town I was born in....They just gloat about how they're safe....the only person that makes me smile....or did make me smile was my mother...she was the only reason why I stayed there.." Tears run down my face I said all that. They hugged me out of sympathy "We're so sorry sweetie. If you like you can stay with us. No one really sees us other then my father" Belle said. I smile "I would like that but I want to give you something" I get my bag and pull out every book from her home. She gasp out of surprised "All the books from my old home!" I smile and nod "I kinda snuck in to get some books. I love to read" The beast pick me up "we'll keep talking once your handled" I smiled and leaned on him like a kid as they walk to they're home
