We all know the story of Beauty and the Beast. This story follows the outline of the traditional story pretty well with some changes to make it seems more real, more intense, and not such a fairytale. There's a Mansion secluded in the thick forest south of town that Isabelle happened to run into one very stormy night. Denied help from the Master, but aided by the servants, she finds her life intertwined with theirs and there's nothing she can do to stop it. The Master is horrible - beastly. He's powerful, and manages to put Isabelle under a spell of his own. A story of two people learning about themselves by falling in love with the other. Here's my version of Beauty and the Beast.

Warning: For people who haven't finished the book or haven't read it: This contains spoilers!!! and if you have not read the book...READ IT!!! I very highly suggest this book and the rest of the Chaos Walking series! This is just a monologue I wrote from Todd's view about Manchee in Drama class. Feel free to comment! :) The cover is what I envisioned Manchee would look like.
