He won't let me go because he needs me? Why does he need me? I'm not special. I'm the quiet reader that stays by herself in school. Nobody needs me but my father. After I saved him from the beast all I can think about is getting out. That is until I found out three things: his secret, his curse, and that I need him too. Hopefully my secret won't make him regret needing me. ** I don't own this fairytale, I'm just doing a twist with it **

Once upon a time, long long ago. There was a little girl, only three years old. She was different, this is true. But not so different than me and you. What people didn't know, and would someday find out. Is that this little girl would grow up to save the world. This is her story. This is how she saved us all... *** I tiptoed slowly to my father's study. The door was slightly cracked. I may be very young, but I'm smart. I knew my step mother didn't like me. I just didn't know it was this bad... "She's too strange, Charles." She complained. "She's just a child Mary." My father tried reasoning with her. I couldn't see much but I knew she wasn't happy. "No. She needs help! She needs to be with people like her. The.... "Gifted"." She sneers. Gifted?? She thinks I'm insane. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Her past haunts her dreams. The creatures of the night haunts her waking hours. And she just can't shake the fact that something is soon to happen. Something life changing.
