The Beast?

Beauties?

" Belle cried heart breaking tears, the beast was dead her prince, her love had died in her arms; the tears rolled down her face in tragically slow motion until gently landing on the prince. After a moment Belle looked at the magic rose that was clutched in the beast, Adam's, hand. she watched as the last petal fell in slow motion knowing that when the pettle hit the ground he was gone her beast was never going to return to her. True to her words the beast died his last breathe of pepermint fanning her face. Belle cried horribly after that taking hours to calm herself. Once she was calm she walked through the palace of her lover looking at everything he could have possibly touched , glanced or even talked about. She walked through the palace doors into the forest towards her village in a deadly snow storm only dimly thinking about how all the palace workers were human and not appliances, but that mattered not to her Adam was dead. She walked until her legs were too numb to carry her. Then crawled until her knees bleed, the pain did little to stop her though because as it became to much she used her hands draging herself farther and farther from the palace until eventually she could no longer move. Her limbs from the waste down were frozen solid her hands were a shade of deep purple showing there lack of blood. she could only imagine the horror her face showed. Eventually Belle lost the ability to inch forward so she gave up moving, asking herself what's the point he's dead? Why continue to live? Just meet him in the after life." I paused to loook at the faces of the youg 10 and 12 year olds I read to. I surveyed there emotions they had heard this story a hundred times but still cried at the same part. "Finally having given up Belle closed her eyes passing out and dieing peacefully, but just as the life had left Belle Adam regained conciousness not as the beast but as the prince he once was. He ran down flights of step to every room in the palace shouting Belle's name at the top of his lungs! When he did noyt find her in the palace Adam became frantic Screaming in fear and worry for his love he ran down the the path towards his loves original home. He rean fast the adrinalie pumping through his body making his stronger and faster. HIs heart stoped when he aw the smeared blood from Belle's knees, but then beat faster pushing him to find her faster. When he reached her body that was mostly burried in snow only a small corner or her face still show he screamed a gut wrenching scream. Part of him knew she was gone once he saw how pale she was but That didn't stop adam from digging her body free and rushing it the the Palace with a speed barely human. Belle's limp and freezing body slowed him slighty as well as his blurred sight form tears but he did not stop until he had reached his palace. He sank to the ground infront of the fireplace but the heat did nothing to warm her body. Adam checked over and over again for a pulse, his workers watched in horror and sadness one by one witnessing the terrifying truth. Belle was dead. Many of the worked tried to pull Adam away but he clung to his lover Eventually everyone gave him space to morn leaving him alone with his lovers corpse cradled to his chest. "I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU" Adam chanted this over and over until his voiced failed. He then thought to himself I shall join her," I paused, once more surveying the room and descretely wiping away a tear from my eye. "ever so slowly Adam lifted his dagger from its Sheath and shoved it into his chest. even in the unbarable pain he didn't scream he just slowly pulled the knife back out wrapped his arms around his lover and smiled whisper softly his last words. "I love you my beauty, I will always be your beast."" I comteplated ending there but by now a crowd had gather so I decided to finish. "There bodies were later discovered but the Prince's personal butler, who said that they looked like a couple sleeping happily together, if you looked closely though you could see the smiles on there lifeless faces and also their ghost govering just above them mouthing I love you to the young servant boy they had taken in and cared for only three months prier. The little orpahned boy looked at the bodies of his adopted parents and placed a glowing red and white rose on there bodies, whispering warmly Happily ever after, and i love you to mommy and daddy. I'll see you later. The little boy walked out the room after that and took care of the house that the prince had apparently left to him. He grew old and wrote the story of his parents love and there legend. Beauty and the Beast." I looked up prepared to close the bopk when a little girl suddenly asked, "what happened to the little boy?" I smiled. "He grew older, fell in love and had kids, then happily passed away after holding his grandaughter and grandson," I stood up and thanked the librarian not forgetting to check out another three books. My twin brother waited for me at the door, "You reading gramps story again" I smiled and Nodded to him as we walked to the small cottage we lived in with our father. Our mother had died when we were young from some disease. when we got to the door I looked at my brother, " ready beasty hell awaits," "Only if you are beauty the wackjob hates us both." I grabbed my brothers hand and opened the door knowing our lunatic father was behind it. Once the door was wide enough we sprinted hand in hand to our shared room in the attic locking the door and blocking it off before our father could reach us. "soon he'll leave for some conventions we just have to last until then,"Raz told me. "OK just a little longer" I told him nodding.

Oh how i wished that the legend of our great grand parents was true and I wished that there were two beast out there waiting for us.
