BEAUTIFUL MONSTER

My back hit the wall hard. So hard I actually spat up blood.

I leaned forward and went into a coughing fit, my left hand on my stomach and right on the base of my neck.

I weakly squinted up at my abuser.

He is a hideous creature.

His snout large and nostrils flaring, his mouth formed into a fang baring scowl, his eyes large and dark pupils' small. He was a dead ringer for Bowser from that Mario game, only his scaly skin was dark purple and turtle shell blue. Spikes jutted out on his arms and shell.

He sneered at my form on the floor and I glared right back.

I staggered to my feet, wobbling a little, and tried to charge at him. He backhanded me and I flew across the room, my back yet again smacking the wall harshly. I gagged on blood from my place on the ground.

He came toward me and picked me up by my short hair and then shook me around like a rag doll. I bit the inside of my cheeks to keep from yelling out.

He then tossed me roughly on the ground. I landed with an unpleasant CRACK as my spine came in contact with the harsh floor yet again.

I let out a gasp.

I tried to scoot away from him as far as I possibly could. He growled as he slowly, almost mockingly, moved toward me.

"You're a feisty little bitch aren't ya?" He spoke in a deep, gravelly voice.

I swallowed when my back bumped onto the wall behind me.

Crap, I'm trapped.

His wild eyes narrowed. "Are you scared of me, girl? You shouldn't be because, after all…"

He had me cornered. He towered over me, then he leaned in close, so close his massive jaw nearly touched my ear. I suppressed a shudder of disgust.

"Aren't you the one that is in love with me?"

My jaw became slack.

His body then changed right before my shaking eyes.

His skin became a tanned peach color. His snout transformed into a normal human nose. His mouth became smaller and sprouted blood red lips, his sharp teeth became normal canines. He grew golden colored hair that messily swayed on his head. His arms became thinner and his claws shrank down. His legs became thinner and less lean. His turtle shell vanished from his back along with all of the spikes that was once covering his body. His head became oval shaped and human ears appeared on either side of his now normal head. His eyes became normal sized, his eye color changed from black to a vibrant green.

What I looked at was no longer a beast, but, my boyfriend.

"Does this form suit you more?"

I'm too shocked to answer. My mouth moved yet no words came out.

I turned around to runaway but I wound up just smacking my face onto the wall that I forgot was behind me.

I felt strong arms slither around my waist.

"Where do you think you're going?" He more so demanded then asked.

With a yell I elbowed his ribcage hard. He cried out and released me.

I ran toward the door leading to my freedom but I wasn't fast enough. He grabbed my ankle and forced me back down.

He was on top of me in seconds.

He began to choke me. I gasped and tried to pry his hands off of my windpipe. It was proven to be useless, he was just too strong.

I weakly looked up at him through tear filled eyelashes.

He gave me a small smile.

"Do you still love me now?"

My boyfriend is a monster.
