The Truth Behind Beauty

Chapter 1: My Past

I lay on the fresh grass picking the perfect daisy's from the soil. The summer breeze blows threw my thick brown locks. I look at the beautiful hills ; the orange sky. Do I really belong here? I thought over and over again. My eye's swelled up with tears but I brushed them. I didn't want my father to worry anymore about me. He's got enough to deal with especially when I ruin his extraordinary inventions. I never try to destroy them but I can't help it. I try to be good. I wear neat cloths and tidy my hair. I'm sweet to people and polite. I try but my father never notices, he's j-j-j just scared of me. He's sees me as a beast, an unhuman creature.

When my dearest mother met my father they fell in love and married. When I saw how pretty she was in the small painting of their wedding I burst into tears. I don't remember her but I knew I would love her. Anyway she longed for a child of her own but fate wouldn't grant her the wish she desired. In despair she went to find a sorcerer known to be found in the woods. My mother pleaded for a child and the sorcerer granted her the wish. That wasn't the end though, the sorcerer needed something in return but my mother refused as our family was poor and still is. The witch was furious so cursed me to turn into a beast. Every night at twelve o'clock I would turn into a beast but turn back to human as soon as the sun rises. My mother was desperate and excepted the deal. In the early morning when I was born my mother died. It turns out her body wasn't able to conceive a child. The sorcerer knew and always wanted to torcher my family. For 18 years now I have been a beast and I wish it could be different.
