~Diary of a Beast~

January 14

The faeries are here again. I smell them… they are just outside the gates. I feel too weak to fight them… I shall leave that to my servants. Why must this happen to me?

January 18

A man was here today.

January 19

I was interrupted last time. As I was saying, a man came here the other day. I took pity on him, of course, hoping that the kindness would break this spell. It did not. The man was… rotten.

January 21

One of my roses is gone. He took it, that man. In exchange for his child. I do not want his child… what do I need one for? The curse? Of course, that is the answer to everything. Maybe this child can break the curse.

January 21…Later

I hope the child can break it. Is it wrong… to hope?

January 22

It was wrong to hope. The child is but a boy… a foolish boy. How can he break the spell? He cannot. His father sent him here… I do not understand that. How could a parent send their child to the wolves? Or the beasts… that is what I am. Oh, what torturous times I must experience! Trapped here with few companions… and now this boy! This boy…

January 23

I am sending him away. I do not need him. Also, I am burning this notebook. I do not wish to see it anymore. I do not wish… for anything.

A/N: Just for a contest. The first entry is really random, and I probably could have made it longer…

If you didn't understand any of this, go check out the comic! It's really awesome!
