A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling.
Once upon a time, there was a boy in love with a Lilly. Not a flower, but a girl. It all started one beautiful autumn day. One autumn day that would change the boy's life forever. For on this day, he met Lilly, a beautiful girl with an ugly secret. A secret that threatens to destroy her if she cannot find a way to break the curse forced upon her. Filled with secrets, lies, and love, this short story captures the essence of the original fairy tale with an entirely new twist.

"Hello, my name is Lilly. What's yours? Is that your mother? I only just came to live here with Ivy, and I don't know many people that come to visit her yet. Do you come often? If you do, we could be friends! Would you like that? To be friends? Why, don't you speak at all? And you should really close your mouth; it is impolite to stare like that."
Ivy called out to her from the doorway of the cottage. "Lilly, if you want him to speak, you must first cease speaking." Both of the women were laughing at the children, and Lilly blushed at the comment.
"Sorry! I just haven't seen anyone my age yet, and I got excited, which happens rather easily. It reminds me a bit of puppies I've read about that just get so excited that they- oops. I'm doing it again. Sorry," she said with a shy smile.
Adam, who had been standing there staring, just as she had pointed out, finally found his voice long enough to tell her his name. She beamed at him, saying that they would be great friends. She seized his hand and began tugging him toward the woods behind the cottage, shouting to Ivy and his mother, "We won't go far! Be back soon!"

Just Hold Me
"When are you coming back?" I ask, my hands clenching. I'm almost positive they'll snap before he finally responds. "I won't be coming back," he says quietly. "This is the last time I get to see you." Then I broke. My eyes started watering. And before I knew what was happening, I was sobbing. Adam's hand gently goes up and down my arm. "I have to go, Emily." With that, he stands up and walks out of the room. This is it. My first love ever, is leaving me. For good this time. When Emily Jones is forced to spend the summer at her mother's, the last thing she expected was a tall, handsome to sweep her off her feet. More or less.

Once they notice even the slightest bit off affection, they hold back. Never to be seen again. She finds herself looking for him everywhere. Wanting to be around him. But it has to change.Compleet

What did that even mean? He chuckled at my deer-in-headlights expression. There was no way I would not remember losing my virginity to Jake. Hell, I'd memorize every second of it. "What do you mean?" I asked slowly, my stomach doing somersaults. Please tell me I'm jumping to the wrong conclusion. Pretty please. "Well," he started, a gleam in his eyes. "First, you grabbed the blanket and ripped it right off of me." I blinked at him, a horrified expression on my face. I slapped his hand away from my hair and turned around. Yup, there it was. Lying on the floor, along with my dignity. He continued solemnly. "And then, you climbed up on top of me." Could you die from your face overheating? I waited for my embarrassment to be complete as he tapped his chin, thoughtfully. "Yeah, that's about it." That's it? THAT'S IT? So I hadn't completely thrown myself at him. Just a tad. And the prize for the unluckiest luckiest horndog of the year goes to Lauren Can't Keep Her Hands To Herself Jules. I grabbed the pillow and smacked him over the head with it. Hard.Compleet

'Bad Boys Ain't Good But Good Boys Ain't No Fun.' "Don't look, but it's the king of being horny behind you." I automatically looked behind me, making Autumn scoff at me. She shook her head. "Ace Ford." Autumn's face retorted in disgust. "Every girl's 'dream guy'." Her fingers made quotation marks. "Let me just tell you Jane, that boy is disgusting." Ace leaned against the railing of the bleachers. He pushed his dark brown hair back and smirked as he talked to one of the blonde cheerleaders. "How so?" I questioned, turning back towards her. She raised an eyebrow. "Just look at the guy, doesn't he just scream 'I won't have sex with you and immediately ditch you unless you have dubble D's and the IQ of a goldfish?'" "He can't be that bad." I said, causing her to snort. ___________ Warning: Very Mild cursing. That's why I'm making it PG13 guys. Read at own risk.

Now, Ivy must make a decision to succumb to the ancient power she wields within her through the help of the family who raised her, the Malfoy family.

Sneak Peak: "Ivy, this is my oldest son, William," Mr. Weasley introduced us before going back to the kitchen. I held out my left hand, "Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'm Ivy." He was tall, handsome, and thin. His red hair was tied back and he had a single fang earring hanging from his right earlobe. Wow, he looks cool. The clothes he wore were fantastic for punk rock. I realized he was also observing me and finally gave me a devilish smirk. "Very nice to meet you, Miss Ivy. You can call me Bill. Aren't you a bit young for tattoos?" he asked and kissed my hand. I blushed, "It's more than a tattoo." He looked intrigued and turned around, "Charlie, you should really come meet this one. She's a beauty!" Bill stood aside and I made eye contact with the most incredible eyes I've ever seen. When I made eye contact, a purple glint shined over his eyes and I felt my whole body relax. My lips separated but my body wouldn't move. I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest and I forgot how to breathe and think for a moment. Bill waved his hand between us, up and down. The contact broke and it was like I was released from a spell. I held out my hand again, "H-Hi. I'm Ivy Potter. It's nice to meet you."Compleet
