The Monster's POV

Finally I was ready.

To claim my beautiful bride.

It was more than love I felt,

It was bursting pride.

She's been a bad girl.

Giving herself to him.

But luckily he was gone,

Before my patience grew too thin.

"Don't fight me Stephanie!

I don't want to hurt you!"

She's bleeding on the floor,

See what she made me do?

I take her back to my castle.

And slowly make my plan.

Manoso will come a-looking,

God, I hate that man.

I found a curly brunette.

She almost matched my queen.

I gave her Steph's license,

And left her to be seen.

Now Manoso won't find her.

She will forever be mine.

I freeze and slowly turn,

Feeling the gun upon my spine.

The same gun I killed the decoy with.

Stephanie has found.

She snuck right up upon me,

And didn't make a sound.

She will never shoot me.

She's a slave to my desires.

"Put it down Stephanie,"
But instead she fires.
