Mary Beth:
I opened my eyes slowly, I tried to sit up but my body said no, so I ended up laying on the wait where was I? I bolted up and found myself by a pretty brook, the grass was rather luscious. As I looked around memories flood my mind. I couldn't help but cry.
"Umm I'm sorry to well bother you but I brought you a clean dress in case you want to change." I looked up, Glace stood there awkwardly. How dare he stand there all innocently.
"Thank you," I reply stiffly as I take the dress from his hands. Glace lookes away and leaves me to change. I took a quick dip in her stream, and changed into the lacy white dress. I added my brown shawl and put on my white flats. Sweet scents filled my nose, beautiful sounds filled my ears, and suddenly it was all interrupted by Glace's hand on my shoulder, cold like ice, something was wrong I dared not turn.
"Look at me, look at what I truly look like."
Cautiously I turn, and what I find is not terrifying but horrific. Glace no longer looks human, his face is covered in scars, his eyes are a foggy blech blue they droop at the sides. His soft pink lips became brown like mud,the hair on his head is covered in blood. He still stood tall but I took a step back from him, he gave me a sad sigh before sitting down.
"This is what I have looked like for 2 years. I don't expect you to like me after everything and this, my face. But let me just tell you it wasn't me."
He stalked off leaving me alone with my thoughts. Could what he said be true? I mean he had two faces, could he have multiple persons in him?
I decided to find out, quietly I followed and I lay on the grass behind a tall wide tree so that he wouldn't see me. He sat sadly on the grass, and looked towards the horizon where the sun shone brightly.
"I want you gone, but this could be my last chance,I must not waist it."
I then heard growling, what?
I stand up and walk towards him, my revulsion gone. Sympathy came to me she I couldn't help but listen to his story.
"You want to know about me, don't you?" He whispers slowly, almost hesitant.
I nod.
-flashback-
I was born to Maryland Constancy Dale, sister to the Queen. I didn't learn the truth of how I can't to be until I was 8. The King had grown tired of the Queen, so he decided it would be fun to pursue Maryland, but Maryland being faithful and loyal didn't give the king a second glance. The King grew angry so one day he decides to corner her, and well I think you can imagine what happens. Anyway nine months later I'm born and my mother thinks that the king will help care for me, but was she wrong, because after three months she killed herself, I don't know why but she did. The king then sends me with a maid, there I grow up and I become one of the castle servants. One day when I turned 10 the king gave me the opportunity to become a squire, I gladly accepted the chance, I thought that he had finally chosen to accept me and let me be his son. I trained for years and became strong, better than Jonathon. Finally I thought, my father will accept me, he didn't. On my eighteenth birthday I rode into the forest, I hadn't been thrown a ball, Jonathon had gotten one, yet I didn't. So I was sulking when suddenly a pale green light glowed in front of me. When the light disappeared I was disgusting and I was still me on the inside but there was someone or something else in there with me. This thing turned my intentions bad all the good I tried to do was turned evil. Until recently I have learned how to control the thing.
-flashback ends-
"Wow." I whisper. All I thought I knew,I was wrong about him. He truly wasn't a monster he was human a boy who only wanted his father's approval and love, he just wanted what his step brother got. Just like me, all I ever wanted was for my step mom to accept me and give me the love she gave my step sisters, instead I was made the maid, just like him.
My heart begins to flutter suddenly I look behind the mask and see that he is actually a kind,caring person who wants to be accepted and loved.
"What's the real name?" I softly ask him. He looks up a small smile on his face.
"Glacend. I'm 22 and love to go riding."
"Your favorite color." I feel my face form a smile, a true smile.
"Blue, the same shade as your eyes." I can't help but get this feeling like my heart is screaming to get out.
"What is your favorite color Mary Beth?" He asks his face seems to be changing the scars are disappearing.
" Im not sure I like all colors, each one has a different personality and each is special." His brown lips turn up into a genuine smile and I can't help but lean forward. There is nothing disturbing about the way he looks because all I see is the person he is. My lips are inches fron his he brings up a delicate yet strong arm to my cheek and our lips touch as my arms wrap around him. Both our lips move gently and passionately we forget about everything else all we care about is this the kiss. All along we were destined to love each other it wasn't supposed to be me and Prince Jonathon, no, it was alwaysGlace and I.
Narrator:
Mary Beth and Glace were so occupied with their kiss that they didn't notice that Glace's ugly mask was melting away, the icy purple and blue hair had turned brown and the icy cold blue eyes became a soft chocolate brown, the scared skin became smooth his lips were a pastel pink and he stood with Mary Beth wrapped around his arms. His clothes had gone from shaggy to a grey a wrinkle free shirt with dark blue jeans and black dress shoes.
What interrupted the magical kiss was a bright white light. They both seperated, but still held on to each other as they didn't landed on the forest that was at the edge of the kingdom where Mary Beth used to live in.
"Glace!" Mary Beth gasped in surprise at the man standing before her.
"This is me truly me and I love you, not just for breaking this curse but for listening and over looking all my masks."
