Into The Woods(ManxBoy)

The Fairmount Woods was a forbidden place. Everyone in town knew that if you ventured into the woods, especially after night, that there would be serious consequences - but not from the townsfolk, oh no. The beasts that are foretold to dwell inside the dark woods are said to take anyone that ventures out too far into the woods and they are never to be seen again. So far, five have disappeared. Warnings were told to children by their parents as soon as they could walk and understand basic English. Everyone knew not to go into the woods.

Ezrael Christen is new to Fairmount, having just turned eighteen and moved out of his parents house to escape the abuse of his father and the accusing words and pointed finger of his mother. Ezreal has been told time and time again that his beauty is ethereal, that Aphrodite must have blessed him herself but Ezrael strongly disagrees. His beauty is a curse that turned his father into a beast and his mother into his enemy. Many people try and take advantage of Ezrael and because of that he has became Hephephobic, afraid to be touched by anyone and everyone.

But what happens when his curiosity gets the better of him after hearing some old biddies gossip about the woods and he ventures into the woods when he's not supposed to?
