*Beast*

NO!

NO, I should not have brought her here. This girl can only make this unfortunate situation worse. I think as I pace in front of my broken mahogany desk.

Why did I bring her here? Was it because she looked so helpless and sorrowful lying there in the cold? Was it because it has been so long since I have come across a human with such kind eyes?

No, that can't be the reason because then I'm getting weak. I am not kind, I do not pity those in need. I have witnessed many humans wander too far and are snuffed out.

"Sire, what are we to do about the girl?" asks Arastoo  as he stands apprehensively at the doorway.

I don't respond for a while, but I consider his question.

"I don't know! Get rid of her," I shout.

"Get rid of her? what would you have me do, Sire? If we were to toss her out into the snow she would surely die before daybreak." he says with conviction his head tilted down. His voice is in complete contrast with his willowy old figure that has seen far more day than I. 

I know what I should do. I should just throw her out in the morning but the young beauty is ill and if I did it is very likely she wouldn't last long out in the cold for long.

Since the beginning of time the winters here have always been cold and long. I'm shocked the girl made it as far as she did through the woods before I carried her here to my manor.

"Sire, do you think that this girl might be-"

"Not possible!" I cut him off. "and that will be the end of it, Arastoo!"

"Nevertheless sir, I believe it cruel to not at the least aid her in regaining her health."

I huff out an aggravated breath. "very well. We will discuss more at a later time."
