[WARNING!!! BOYXBOY!!! You have been Warned!!] Ciel Young is a sixteen year old boy who is singled out in his village as 'peculiar' in a nice non-threatening kind of way. He's earned this title not only because he loves to read, educate himself, and his 'crazy' contraption making father, but also because he's gay. When his father leaves on a trip to a few towns over things take a turn for the wrong, and his father is left with a decision that will change Ciel's life forever. What will happen when Ciel is forced to abandon his almost normal life in a small village to a fantastic manor in the middle of the dark forest with a stranger who seems to have as many secrets as himself? There's only on way to find out; you're going to have to read. :) [This is basically my version of beauty and the beast, it includes a mixture of the original story and Disney's version with a little BOYXBOY twist so I hope you like it! :) Also I'm not very good at descriptions so I hope that it isn't too bad :/ but trust me (not to sound biased) but I'm pretty sure the story is going to be better than the description.] ***Edited by the AMAZING VengefulMarionettes***

You know that story everyone knows, about that girl, who goes to that ball, dances with that prince, leaves at midnight, and then loses a shoe? What's her name? Oh yes. Cinderella. There are other fairytales like hers, a girl meets a prince, he helps solve all of her problems, and cue happy ending. But there's something you should know. Those stories are lies. Fakes. Fabrications. This is the real story, and it doesn't have a fairy tale ending. No. Anything but.

*Now a featured Wattpad story! Zara was never meant to be an outcast. Once upon a time, she was a Red Cape- a member of the respected forest guard. That was before the accident, though. The one that left her partner dead and her to blame. Now expelled from the guard and living a life of shame, all Zara wants is to redeem herself and earn back her coveted position. The perfect opportunity arises when a mysterious Hunstman shows up in the kingdom...looking for her. Somewhere deep within the dark forest, a princess is being held captive by the werewolves and their king. As the royal Huntsman, it's Ronan's job to find her and bring her back. And who better to guide him than a former member of the renowned Red Capes? While Zara isn't thrilled at the idea of working side by side with the irritatingly charming Huntsman, she's in no position to refuse his proposition. Especially if she wants to impress the guard and earn a second chance. Together, they enter the forest to face the myriad of terrifying creatures awaiting inside. Ardon, the werewolf king, has an agenda of his own...one where he and his pack rise from exile to reclaim their place at the top of the food chain. When he begins to make unexplainable appearances within Zara's dreams, she realizes things are far from what they seem. The truth behind their strange connection may not be one she's ready for. However, the werewolf king is far from the only one harboring dark secrets. What began as a simple rescue mission will soon turn into a challenge not only for Zara's life, but for the world outside the forest.
