"BEAST!!!", I screamed on the crumbling bridge of the castle as I saw the larger man almost slip from his perch on the roof. My voice cut through the air making his ears twitch in my direction.
  

"Christine?!", he tried to make out my slight figure in the dark and as he did a look of relief and astonishment washed over his face. 

I smile at our reunion. 

   Until I saw Gaston raise the barrel of his pistol at the Beast. Before anyone could whisper a breath I threw my sharpened staff with as much might as I could at Gaston, my only brother and family. But as my spear cut through the air so did the sound of a single gun shot.

A monster child. That was what they all called Forsythia. It was just because she was found in the woods at age ten with no memories. She had a traumatic event that caused her to lose her memories. Edgar and Elizabeth took her in as their own daughter. It worked for seven years, until one night on the full moon, when everyone was supposed to be asleep in their boarded up houses, a scream echoed through the town. Forsythia followed Edgar when he said he was going to save the person. She found the girl before he did. The girl ran when the wolf's attention turned to Forsythia. She realized the wolf was innocent. But when her father saw her trying to comfort the wolf, he called her a monster child, and she ran into the woods, hurt by his words. She stumbled upon a castle where she met Lucas. He was a cruel man who seemed to not care about her feelings at all. She stayed away from him when she could, exploring the castle. She wished the castle wasn't cursed. She wanted to go home so badly. She discovered dark truths and learned about her dark past. Her life changed in a matter of moments. Her only hope to get through it was Lucas. Could he change? Could he actually forget about his terrible past and focus on what was right in front of him? Would Forsythia try and ignore the feelings she was developing for him, or would she tell the truth? Find out the dark and twisted journey of Forsythia and Lucas in this retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

'"Oh, William, there will be no heir. The throne will sit empty for years. Everything your father created will be gone. And you will not be able to stop it." She walked towards him, like the serpent in the garden. She touched her finger to his forehead, and leaned into close, "You will become the thing you fear the most; a monster who lurks in the night; a soul lost from its path. You will be blinded by your own fear. As time goes on--and it will go on--you will be trapped by your fear until it consumes you. You will forever be a monster, and you won't be able to stop it." "No," he clamored, "I'll overcome it, I'll fight it every day until I die." "Oh, my dear, you will not die. You will be immune to death--a monster today, a monster tomorrow, and a monster forever. A soul lost from its path can only be led back to the light, it cannot find its own path."' (The Two Curses) ~~ How can a person lead you back to the light when they are as blind as you?
