There are several versions of fairy tales. Red Riding Hood is a wolf, Snowwhite is a hunter, or Belle is a strong willed woman who chose to take her father's place and be the Beast's prisoner but she lifted the curse of the so-called "ferocious" beast. That doesn't mean the curse wasn't lifted from any children he would have. Thanks to my father, who is unbelievably the Beast, the curse of having a life tied to a flower or a rose to be exact, is on me. But because the Beast' s curse was lifted the color of the Rose changed, black meaning there are several possibilities of the curse breaking. After sixteen years of living with this, I found a friend--Chloe. For some reason, there's this trust that I have in her, that I've never had in anyone before. She made me wonder if she was the key to breaking the curse of the Dark Rose... (picture from pinterest)
