Keeper of the Rose

This is a story that's basically a twist of beauty and the beast. I seriously got the inspiration by looking at a bookmark that a 5 year old me drew on that had a rose and the words, you guessed it "Keeper of the Rose. It will be fun because it will be all from the beasts' POV. Enjoy!

Prologue

My mind tells me to keep running while every muscle and limb in my body screams at me in pain to stop. I tlook ahead at the trail, now becoming blurry with the sweat and tears that are running into my eyes. The path that a few seconds ago was a nice pebble straight trail is now a winding jagged terrain that isn't much wider than a foot. I start to slow, stumbling over fallen trees and other plant life. I look over my shoulder quickly to see what lays behind me, keeping a steady rhythm in my strides. Yet you can't see what is to come if your always looking to your past. And I never did see that tree branch.
