Not All It Seems BxB

Introduction

*Jeremiah's POV*

Hello. You probably know me as the bad guy. In all the fairy tails, I'm a monster, waiting for the night to come so I can get out of my lair to seek out children to eat. The truth isn't so simple though. I guess it's time I tell my side of  the story.

Let introduce myself. My name is Jeremiah and I'm not a monster. I dont looke like one, though I could always change my appearance if I desired so. I live away from the town, true, but I'm not evil. I don't eat humans and don't, ever in my life, intend to do so. I'm actually nice to people who get lost in the woods and help them get back to the town. But, for some reason unknown, I'm perceived as a monster by the village folks. I truly don't know why because I so seldomly go out I'm not even sure they know what I look like.

It's been this way for quite a while now. Probably for a couple of decades. To be honest I'm not really good with time.

It's a small town. Everyone knows everyone. And everyone likes the hero. He's strong, smart and he has saved too many people to count. He gets every girl as reward for all the time he saved them from me.

But the town people are blind. Their hero is just a weak human who claims he fought me and won.

We never fought and if we did, I certainly wouldn't have been the one to lose. My day to day look is tall and what some would call 'hunky'. I'm not lacking in muscle mass. So the outcome of an eventual fight is easy to see.

He's a liar, a trickster, and so many more things. Yet, nobody but me sees it. I don't even know his name and I don't really care. He's fake and that's all I can see. I don't know why he's worshipped by everyone but I'm not a fan.

While he doesn't actually save anyone but himself, I help lost folks find the town. And then, they worship him. I'm the one who saved them but he's the one who gets the appreciation. Unfair, right?

How can no one see the truth? But even if it's this unfair I still hope. Hope that one day they'll stop being scared of me.

At night I stare at the sky and wonder if I could see this many stars there. I guess not. It helps me stay positive. True, I might not be liked or worshipped but I'm still alive. I get to live every day knowing I'm not a liar, knowing that I help people.

There's a part of me that still wants to go out, live a normal life with the town people, but I'm afraid. Afraid they wouldn't want me. Like I said, I don't even know if they ever saw my face but I'm still scared. Although it was always how I felt, Why did I go out to the town that night...

Now to be clear, this is not a fairy tale full of rainbow and shit. It's much more true and beautiful. But, if I am to tell you about my story, it will be my way.
