beauty and the beast

Chapter One

I was injured, blood running down my pale skin and into my dark yellow blouse, matching it to the color of my deep red locks. My head burning like a thousand fires making my emerald green eyes overflow like a cracked dam in the  middle of a small village.

My attacker eyeing me down from a distance like a hawk with regret in his eyes. I could tell he didn't mean it, but judging by the sharp pains in my head and the throbbing in my lower torso, I felt no remorse.

I looked around at my surroundings trying to get a clear understanding of where I was, he put me in a small room with the windows closed and the blinds yanked open, the ceilings were high up covered with ancient hand paintings that told some type of story. I was placed on a flat mattress right beside the window and away from the door, the window was locked and so was the door, it was obvious my capturer didn't want me to escape.

He stood in the far right corner in a stance where I could just about see his facial features, he was quite strange.  His eyes were a light grey almost white, so bright it was if he stared right through my skin and into my soul and told me not to be scared then suddenly I wasn't, his fur was pitch black, the full moon shining through the small window made it easier to tell with the sky in comparison, and his skin  was paper white which contrasted greatly with his black coat.

Although from where I was standing I could see his profile, there was still lots more to see. In my desperate attempt to see the rest of the animal's face, I sat upward in the dust covered bed and reached one leg off of the mattress, without thinking I took a widely spaced step and fell right on my fresh wound. The pain was excruciating. I let out an ear piercing shrill to let my attacker know I was injured just in case he didn't already know. Once he understood, he raced over to me in a blink, faster than I've ever seen something run before. More strange things to add to the list and even more coming.

As the sun came up in the distance, right in front of me the weird beast was turning into a boy around my age,17. Sparkles that shimmered like a diamond covers the nude boy like a blanket, the show of lights were amazing but vanquished sudden and unexpected. The boy -now fully clothed- rose up and filled his face with a mix of concern and sorrow.

  "Are you okay miss?" The boy asked in a light English accent obviously not from here in California.

  "Okay?,you nearly killed me you bastard!" I snapped.

  "Yes, I know, I am deeply saddened by what I've done, could you ever forgive me?" The boy said looking down.

I reached my hand out to pull his head up but quickly pulled back after touching his skin. It was soft like a humans but ice cold like touching an ice cube. The boy looked at me with cold eyes but fixed his face ad asked another question.

  " What shall I call you?"

  "Agnis is my name ,but most of friends call me aggy, either one will suffice."I answered trying to copy his modest tone.

  "Nice to meet you Agnis,I'm Morgan Pierce"
