They say he is a beast, 
victim to his own violence.
Only destruction left in his wake,
His heart forever lost.

They say he is a beast,
Who has lost all hope. 
Haunted by the daemons of his past,
In darkness he hides. 

They say he is a beast,
Battling an internal war.
His violence borne upon his face,
His soul frozen. 

They say he is a beast,
Only thinks of himself.
Until he meets a strange beauty,
with a kind heart. 

They say he is a man,
Who is lost. 
Until he meets a strange beauty, 
Who leads him to the light.

This is a beauty and the beast retelling and please don't steal my story :)

Dive into the world of love and magic, any way you like to read. *** Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all *** Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret. New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them. But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
