AN: I own nothing recognizable. BIG THANKS TO THE REVIEWERS! :)
Warning this is a boy/boy story, don't like don't read. Rated M for future chapters and just to be safe.
Edward will be called Anthony or Tony for a short period of time...
This chapter has been beta'd by RockinThatAfroPic She has been a huge help, the below poem is by her too! :)
Chapter 3
Edward (Anthony/Tony) POV-
"You are a leech as you feed off humiliation
I put a curse upon you Anthony Edward Masen
Live this day as if it is your last
For tomorrow you will wake with a permanent mask
Your vanity in itself has been a curse
So I'll add one more to make things worse
No longer will you have a pretty face
A beastly curtain will take its place
Your face will look how you are inside
An ugly creature with evil catlike eyes
Until someone loves you for your heart
You will forever be stuck as your beastly counterpart"
I shake off the lingering words from my dream as I leave my house and jump into my silver Volvo, heading off to school.
Today starts off like any other day; after pulling into the parking lot I chat and joke with Emmett and Jacob until the warning bell rings. Classes go by without a hitch until Biology. I still don't understand why I'm forced to have this kid as my partner.
"Anthony, so I worked on this a little last night" Jasper says as he takes his seat in Biology and we start to work on the project.
The hour goes by slowly and I am relieved the minute the bell rings and school ends.
By the time I make it to my bed for the night I am exhausted, and all I want do sleep. The strange dream from the night before still echoes in my memory.
My clock reads 8:00 when I pull back the covers and crawl into bed, sleep quickly claiming me.
~~~Line Break~~~Line Break~~~Line Break~~~Line Break~~~
The morning light comes bombarding through my window all too soon for my liking waking me up. Pulling back the duvet, I get up and make my way towards my bathroom.
That's when I look into the mirror and scream.
I'm horrified as I take in the hideous face staring back at me. Bringing my hand up to touch my face I'm surprised to see that it too has changed into some sort of a freakishly hairy monster paw with thick sharp claws coming out of the tops where my fingers should be.
I am beast.
"Hello Anthony Edward" a voice whispers as a girl's face appears in the mirror.
"Alice?" I choke out my voice sounding strange and different. It is the girl from the cafeteria yesterday, with the silver eyes.
"Yep, it's me" she laughs, stepping out of the mirror and into the bathroom with me. "How did you enjoy your last day as a normal man?"
She did this to me? Wonder as I stare wide eyed at her.
"I did warn you about this, your life lesson starts now. As you can see you're good looks are now gone. You are now a beast, showing the ugliness of your soul." She again laughs out as her face magically clears of blemishes and her waist line slims. Left standing before me is a girl with short spiky hair, she is short, skinny and nothing like the girl from school, who was over weight
"You can't do this to me!" Iroar as I stare at my reflection.
"Yes I can, I am granting a wish" she smiles at me before continuing. "Now this is how it's going to work" the perky girl says, practically bouncing up and down. "You will remain this way for seven years, which will be when your death will come. That is unless you can find someone who can love the beast you now are."
"What are you talking about?" I yell.
"You Anthony Edward will be a beast for the rest of your life, which is only seven more years" she giggles before a hand mirror appears out of thin air.
"This will be your access to the outside world, tell it what you want and it will show you what you ask for. By the way, Emily and Sam know of your condition" with that she disappears and I can hear Sam banging on the door asking me to open it.
"Mr. Masen, please open the door" Sam continues to shout until I eventually unlock and open the door.
"So I see your bad deeds have caught up to you" he says seemingly unaffected by my appearance. "This is called karma; I have watched you make other's lives hell. Just Friday night you and your buddies were making fun of the pizza guy. Why? Because he doesn't have life handed to him on a silver platter?"
I had never had anyone talk to me as such.
"You cannot speak to me like that!" I yell as what sounds like a growl escapes me. "You and your wife work for me, I am in charge here."
"Anthony, we do not work for you. We work for your father and in your new condition I'm sure you'll be pressed for people who will tolerate you." He has never called me by my name, this just isn't right. I am in a higher social class than him.
"Still, you cannot talk to me like that!" I scream at his retreating form, until I find myself completely alone.
Hours later I call my father and get his answering machine.
"Hey, dad it's me. You won't believe what's happened and I rather not explain it to you. Emily, Sam, and I are going to the cabin, please don't come to us." With that I hang up and finish packing up what items I want to bring.
It takes us only forty five minutes to get to the cabin. This is the perfect place for a creature like me to be because my "friends" don't know about it and my father never visits. It is the perfect hiding place.
Jasper POV-
I notice Anthony is nowhere to be seen as the school day goes by. It isn't until Biology that I am told he has dropped out. Now I must finish the project on my own.
AN: Leave me love ;)
