Love for a beast

Daphne POV

Come on…do your rounds…come and see that I'm not in my cell…Finally!

I finally hear the guards walking towards my cell door,

"What the hell! Where is she!" he shouts, I hear the keys being taken from his belt and into the door, I smirk at this, looking down from where I'm perched on the rafters above the door using the two corners as leverage, then as soon as he enters the room, I drop my bag of sleeping dust I made onto his head and not five seconds later he falls flat on his face, I smirk at this, happy that my plan worked.

Gracefully I drop down and land beside him in a crouch and grab his keys that he had in his hand.

"Guess I am getting out of here after all" I say to him still with my wide smile on since he had told me since day one of being here that I would be staying here for life, I didn't think so then, and I don't now.

Oh gosh sorry, I forgot to introduce myself with all this going on, I'm Daphne. I am part fairy, part human with a little bit of a witch inside somewhere, making me a five foot seven in height, the body of a human that I keep slim with nice hips and curves. My black hair going down to my elbows that has pink streams in it, and my moss green eyes.

My parents died when I was very young and I was raised in the enchanted woods by fairies and nymphs. I am also twenty-two years old, but I got caught using some magic around humans and the villagers thought I was an evil witch who wanted to kill them all.

So they sent me here to Snow Whites memorial prison, its almost brand new. But the guards are so predictable, I've been here for three months and I learned their routines and schedules, this is how I knew that this guy would be coming on his own on this day, while the others go to their breaks.

I lock the door behind me after I leave the cell after putting the guard on the bed and covering him with the blanket there to make it look like I am still in there in case any other guards come walking past.

I guess I'll have to go back to the woods, that's really the best place for me really, for some reason people get an odd vibe off me, making them think twice about me, I don't do it on purpose! I suppose it's the witchy part of me.

I walk along the corridors, trying to find the right way out, seeing that I was apparently not only put in a private cell but also in a private part of the prison, must have thought me dangerous, well they could do with updating their security.

I round a corner and begin to walk down the next corridor until I start to hear banging, I look to my left where I hear it and see another private area.

Curiously I walk towards the cell door. Still hearing the banging coming from the cell, I peek through the tiny window door to see…a troll? Who looks roughly twenty-two maybe twenty-three? Dark black hair to his shoulders, blue eyes, good build, honestly he looks really handsome to me, I don't know why people think trolls are ugly, I think he's looks nice. Wonder why he is here, maybe he destroyed a town or something.

I smile mischievously, another way to pay the warden back for being brought here against my wishes.

"Hey" I say silently to him so as not to startle him, but loud enough for him to hear me, and as soon as he hears me he looks up at me at the same time as he stops banging against the barred window. I tilt my head looking at him still, he has a few bruises on his face, probably from when resisting arrest I would assume, trolls don't go down without a fight, which I very much respect.

"Who are you?" he asks, frowning at me after looking at me for a few minutes, I smile at him from this, him now turning his whole body at me now,

"Your escape, that is if you want to escape, either that or your trying to learn to make music with those bars" I say, still with my head tilted, he looks at me for a few minutes, then nods coming over to the door. With this I use the keys to open his door.

"You didn't answer my question," he says after I've opened the door but he doesn't walk out, only looking at me in question, I smile at him for this,

"My names Daphne, now we need to go now before the guards finish their lunch" I say, he nods at this and we start to run round the corner and down the hallways, after rounding a few corners we find ourselves looking down the hallway cells with prisoners on either the sides, I smirk at the troll for this, who seems to catch on to what I'm thinking, then we begin letting them out which they all seem very happy about, can't say I blame them, been here for long enough and I'm already loving the freedom.

They all then leave as soon as possible, they probably wont get past the guard but its more work for them hehe.

"Do you know where you are going?" the troll asks me from behind after we started running again in the opposite direction of the other prisoners, they'll hopefully bide us some time, I nod at this hoping that he sees as I am concentrating on where I am going from memory.

Finally we end up at the large bay window, I smile at this, and thankful that I remembered where it was from the days when I cleaned it.

"What is this? You told me that we were escaping!" he shouts, I look at him, looking at him as if he spoke a bad joke,

"There is no way out through the back door, or the front, only through here, outside is the stables, which has an exit that would lead us out of here" I say, he looks at me confused, from this I roll my eyes in annoyance, I grab his hand and lead him over to the window, seeing him looking at me shocked, huh I guess he's not used to being manhandled.

I open the windows and using all my strength I push him out, hearing his yell obviously from the shock at being pushed out, I laugh at the look on his face when he lands on the haystack, obviously not expecting a soft landing.
