Here is a new story for you guys. I hope you like it. This is based on the show of Beauty and the Beast. Some of this might be close to the story but I changed up things and a lot of the base story. Please review and tell me what you think.

WWWWWWW

It was getting late and I had to be back at my dorm soon before the library closes on me. I quickly pack up my books and rush out to the parking lot. Normally I would be at the library on campus but they didn't have the books I needed so I went to this older library that sits further away from town but close enough that I didn't have to waste my gas. Once I am settled in the car I put it the key in the ignition but when I turn it nothing happens. I try it again but still nothing happens.

I let out a frustrated groan and lean my head back onto the head rest. When I do that I notice that the button to turn on the inside light was still pushed in, "Shit!" I bang my hands on the steering wheel, how could I be so stupid to leave that light on. Now my battery is dead and I need a jump start. I fish out my phone from one of the many pockets of my back pack and dialed the one person who I knew would come out here to get me.

"Hello." Answered a groggy voice.

I let out a small chuckle, "Hi dad, I am sorry for calling you but my battery won't start and it's starting to get cold out here."

I hear rustling on the other end of the phone, "Okay I will be there in a little bit."

"Thanks dad." I hang up the phone and wait for him to get here.

It's an hour later I am shivering like crazy when finally my dad's car pulls up. I get out of my car so fast and practically ran to my dad, "I am so glad you are here."

Lucas laughs and hands me a coat, "Here put this on it should start warming you up soon." I eagerly take the coat from him and put it on, it was so nice to have something on to keep me warm. My dad takes out the jumper cables and lifts the hood of his car while I did the same with my car, "So how did your battery die?"

I sheepishly look at my dad, "Well I accidently left the light on in my car."

Lucas laughs at me, "That definitely will do that. I thought I taught you better than that."

"You did but I was in a rush earlier and I forgot that I had it on." I snuggle in the coat more and rub my hands on my arms trying to produce some heat.

Lucas attaches one end of the cables to his car and then attaches the other end to my car, "How about we let it sit for a little while to make sure it's charged enough." He leans on the side of my car and looks at me, "What were you doing out here so late at night?"

"I was trying to finish an assignment that is due tomorrow and I didn't realize how late it got."

"Well you are lucky that I was close to you. You could have died from the cold before someone noticed you." He was trying to chastise me but I knew that he didn't mean it.

"You would have come running no matter how far away you were." I smile gratefully at my dad, I don't know what I would have done without him.

While we were sharing this moment a car pulls into the parking lot and stops a few feet away from us. I figured they were trying to see if the library was open so I shouted, "The library is closed for the night."

The car doesn't even move and the 2 people sitting inside don't even step out of the car. After awhile my dad waves them off, "Don't worry, I already have this handled."

Still the car doesn't move but then the guy sitting behind the passenger seat gets out and walks around to the front of the car. My dad straightens up and puts his arm out in front of me, "Will hurry up and get inside my car."

I was still frozen in my spot not sure what's going on. My dad shoves me toward his car, "Will get in the car NOW!"

Before I had a chance to respond the guy pulls out a gun and shoots 3 shots into my dad's chest. My dad instantly crumples to the ground and I am in utter shock. I crouch down next to my dad, shaking his shoulder, "Oh my god, dad are you okay." I am extremely scared and I was close to tears.

While I was crouched down next to my dead dad the other guy from the driver side steps out and then I hear the gun go off again but it missed me and hit my dad's car instead. As much as I wanted to stay with my dad I instantly take off and start running through the open field next to the library. I am running faster than I ever thought I could, trying not to step into any of the holes and trip. I don't know how long I was running and if I had lost them or not so I did something stupid, I turned my head and looked behind me to see how far away they were. That was enough distraction for me to not see the giant log lying on the ground. My foot connected to the log and I went sailing to the ground. When I land my head hits a big rock and stuns me.

I lay stunned for I don't know how long before I hear movement behind me. I turn over and tried to look at the people trying to kill me but my vision was blurry. They slowly walk up to me and I am begging them to not kill me, "Please just leave me alone, please."

One of the guys raises up the gun and points it at me. I am reduced to tears at this point and I am just waiting for the shot to come but then something happens. This person or beast, I couldn't see that well, came out of nowhere and started attacking the 2 gunmen. I am so scared at this point while I am watching this thing tear apart those two men.

When the last guy falls down dead the beast/human thing turns to me and I think, 'now it's my turn.' But the creature just stands and stares at me, not coming any closer. Next thing I know I hear the sounds of police sirens and the beast/human thing takes off running. When it's gone I slowly stand up and look around me seeing the bodies of the two hit men.

That night changed my life forever, instead of becoming a lawyer I decided to become a cop. To this day I still believe what everyone was telling me, that the beast I saw was a result of the head injury that I got because the men who killed my dad were monsters, right?

9 years later…

I park my car in a parking spot and turn off my flashing lights. I am not ashamed to admit that I use my flashing lights to get through traffic so much faster. Once I step out of the car I use the remote and lock the doors. The loud noises coming from the city fair made me think of my childhood, which a part of me wishes I could go back so that I can see my dad again but that will never happen. Thinking about my dad made me depressed so I pushed the thoughts aside and looked around trying to spot my date. When my eyes finally fall upon him I noticed something that makes my blood boil. Adam has his arm around another guy and I could tell that it was as more than friends. At first I wanted to just go and knock him out but I decide against it. So I decided to pay him back for cheating on me so I come up behind them and tap his shoulder.

When he turns around and sees me he doesn't even flinch or react in the normal way people do when they are caught in the act of cheating. I cross my arms over my chest and give him my best stern cop look, the one that makes the toughest of criminals crumble and confess. But the look doesn't seem to be working so I decide to finally ask him, "What the hell is this Adam?"

He looked bored, "I thought we were good together but it's not working for me."

"And why isn't it working?"

He sighed and stepped away from the guy he was hanging all over and pulls me aside, "We have been together for 3 months and you still haven't let us have sex together. That's the longest I have ever gone without sex and it has been driving me crazy."

Now I am completely offended, "So you decided to cheat on me because I wouldn't put out?"

Adam pursed his lips and thought about it before nodding his head, "Yes that is exactly what I am trying to say."

I look down and notice the bulge on the side of his pants, that's when I realize I have I way to pay him back. I look back up at him and I am smile at him, "Well since I am the cause of you having a sexual dry spell let me help you with that." I pull out my badge and hold it up in the air so that security can see me, "Security this man has a gun in his pants and he doesn't have a license to carry."

Two security guards grab his arms and started to wrestle him to the floor, "Now you can have sex with all the inmates, I am sure they would be happy to oblige." The look of fear on his face was enough satisfaction for me so I turned around and left. As I was walking back to my car my phone starts to go off. I pull it out and saw that it was the police station, "Horton."

I get out of the car with Chad, my partner, following close behind me while talking with his thick Boston accent, "You should have kicked him where it hurts. 'That's the longest I have ever gone without sex' what hell is that? You don't deserve him Will but I have to hand it to you, you know how to pick the best jerks."

Now I am a little offended, "All of them weren't jerks."

Chad looked over at me incredulously, "Name one guy you dated that wasn't a jerk.

"Well there was…" No that one was a jerk, so I tried again, "There was..." at this point I see what Chad is talking about, "Okay I guess I have a habit of dating jerks."

"I told you. What you need to do is just be like me, just do one night stands and don't ever talk to them again." He nodded his head like it was a good idea.

But I didn't agree, "I am not going to do that Chad, I am not a man-whore like you are." I start laughing and I quickly move away before he has a chance to shove me.

Chad just shrugged his shoulder, "I am not going to deny that statement because I know it's true."

I laughed even harder, "I knew you wouldn't."

We walked up to the entrance of the restaurant and went straight to the bathroom, which was the scene of the crime. We entered the bathroom and on the floor was a young man, about 20. Chad walked around me and starts replaying the discovery of the body, "One of the customers came in and noticed that man lying on the floor so he proceeded to call 911."

I put on a pair of rubber gloves and crouch down next to the body, I slowly examined it until I reached the head and saw a huge gash, "It looks like blunt trauma to the head." I looked through his pockets, "There is no ID and no wallet."

Chad looks at me, "Maybe it was robbery/ homicide?"

I shook my head and held up his wrist, "And leave behind this Men's Diamond Rolex, I don't think so."

He shrugged his shoulders, "Not every robber knows what a Rolex is."

I stand up and look around the bathroom, "Either way this place is too public for a robbery."

"Well lets go look at some security footage and see if we can find the murderer." I go talk with the manager and he leads me to a room with a TV set up.

I am in the middle of watching the video a third time when Abigail, the police chief, walks into the room, "So what do we have here?"

I rewind the video and show her, "We see him walk into the restaurant and walk straight to the bathroom. The one thing that is weird is that he seems to be either drunk or on drugs but one thing I did notice was that he was bleeding before he came into the restaurant." We watch the video and we see that he can't walk in a straight line and that there is blood on the back of his head. He gets into the bathroom but no one goes in or comes out until the 911 caller steps into the bathroom.

Abigail crosses her arms over her chest, "Why did none of the employees or customers see the blood on the back of his head?"

I shrug my shoulders, "You got to love New York."

"Have we found the killer yet?"

"No but we found out his name from some old phone records, his name is Gavin Smith."

Just then Chad walks into the room, "So I googled him and found out that he owns the most popular art magazine in New York, called The Art World."

She looks back at Will, "Does he have a wife, a girlfriend, a gay lover?"

"Yeah a wife, she is a photographer that has her art featured all the time in the magazine."

Abigail sighs, "So where is his wife?"

I shrug my shoulders, "We can't seem to find her anywhere."

We were interrupted by one of the forensic guys coming in and handed me a bag, "We we also lifted finger prints off of one of the buttons on Gavin's jacket."

She smiles as she takes the bag from me, "Well lets go and run this print."

All of them were standing around the big screen waiting for the print to finally find a match. When it did a picture and a file popped up, "It looks like the system found a match to the prints. They belong to someone named, Sonny Kiriakis…"
