HELLO MY FELLOW READERS! Sorry it took me so long to update. As some of you know I just started a new story, and well, frankly I was having slight writers block with this one. But after watching BEASTLY last night and looking at this story again, I had an idea that I felt was better than what I was originally going to do.

So here it is: ROBERT'S DOOM!

The night Robert had dreaded had come. He was going to introduce Kendra's news stories. As he thought of it, he pour himself a glass of whiskey, and then another and another. But nothing could take away the thought of having her give a newscast his station.

"1 minute til your on the air, Mr. Kingsbury" The Stage hand called.

Robert stumbled to his chair. Everyone clearly seeing that he was drunk, but enough of them hated him to where they were looking forward to him making a fool out of himself. Of course his co-anchor for the night smelled that he reeked of alcohol and had to keep a straight face despite of it. After about 10 minutes, she introduced Kendra's piece.

"Beauty. One thing this world is completely obsessed with. People see that someone is completely different in anyway, and they are repulsed by the very sight of them. Even children who have no control over how they are made fall victims of this atrocity. Over the past week, I have spoken to many families about their children who are viewed as ugly to the world. This is what they had to say:

"Ugly? Why would I think such a precious thing as this ugly. She's my miracle baby."

"Fat? No, she's an angel. I mean how can one hate a person with a personality like hers?"

"Yes, my daughter became victim to becoming beautiful in the eyes of her peers. She almost died from it too. She just got out of rehab and has found a nice guy in her life that loves her for who she is."

"What do I think qualifies as beautiful? Anything that shows a person is human and not some self centered jerk. I knew a guy like that, but he came around." The last girl said, with her guy right next to her, his arm around her waist. "And now he and I are going to be spending the rest of our lives together, thanks to some weird twist of fate that if I were to tell you, you would think I was crazy….What would happen if our child was deformed at any course in its life?"

That's when her fiancé answered. "We'd love it just the same as we did when it was born."

And that is when Robert lost it. The man in the last clip was his son, Kyle.

"I have shown you several perspectives. If these people can look beyond any appearance, don't you think you can too? I'm Kendra Hilferty, reporting for KMOP news."

"Thank you Kendra and those families who willingly participated; and a special congratulation to the new couple on their engagement. Don't you agree Robert?"

"Agree? You people are idiots! Beautiful people have it better, that's just the way it is. You think your ugly as sin child will get a job, especially when dealing with the public? NO! People don't want to see their ugly fucking faces. They disgust people to the point where they want to throw up. My opinion is to use as much money as you can to fix them. Cause God certainly won't."

Before he could say anymore, they went to commercial. The boss came to Robert and demanded him come to his office immediately.

"What the hell was that?"

"Bull-shit; that's what! I can't believe you agreed to that."

"Robert your behavior since Ms. Hilferty came has been completely unacceptable. I'm afraid you're fired."

"Fired? You're firing me after what the bitch did? She planned this. Hell, my own son was in that news cast!"

"I don't care. Robert, you're finished here. Pack your things and leave before I have security thrown out."

Of course it took security to throw him out and hail him a cab, since he was still very drunk. Upon entering his house he threw his phone at the wall.

"Stupid bitch getting me fired. It's her fault."

"The only person at fault here is you, Robert." A voice said from behind him. Robert jerked around and saw Kendra standing there in a completely different outfit than when he left her with.

"How the fuck….."

"That is the least of your worries."

"You used my son on purpose you bitch. You used our situation and made it into a story."

"I had hoped you would see the errors of your ways, especially when it came to Kyle. I take it you didn't realize his curse was broken." And the look on his face confirmed her statement.

"He managed to find love and turn around in one year. But given your display since I have interned with you, I'd say you will get a slightly longer sentence. Say… 3 years?"

"What?" Gripping his wrist, she ignored his "Let go of me you cow" and proceeded with her curse. "You have 3 years to find someone to love you." A tree grew upon Robert's wrist and spread up his arm. "When the flowers of the tree bloom, your time is up. Either the words I love you are spoken, or stay like this forever." She said, disappearing.

"Like what?" Robert asked. Turning towards the mirror, he cried out in agony. His skin was damaged, as if someone had set him on fire. His index and middle fingers were gone. His hair was missing and in place of that were puckering scars. He no longer had sight in his right eye and he walked with a limp. "

You bitch, you come back here and change me back." He screamed, in a voice that was not all his own. He felt very dizzy and promptly fell to the floor.

Ok. You know the drill. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! Tell me what you think? PLEASE!
