Bella, you are a mystery to me.

I have always wondered when you were going to realize that our life is not a fairy tale.

You are the wonderful, kind-hearted beauty. I am the beast, horrible and selfish.

But no rose wilts, no sickly father beckons. Why does she return? Again and again, she returns to the castle of cobwebs - my hopes spun fine as spider silk. A single touch and it all falls away.

No curse – besides the obvious – binds me.

Loving me will not save me.

Or will it?

Beauty, I am your Beast. Your nightmare awaits.


I do not own Twilight.

AN: This was from a fairytale prompt long ago. Let me know what you think.
