😂

I gasped and sat up.

"A-A dream?..." I say softly.

Maybe I shouldn't have watched that movie with Anne and Polly.....

Then again, I fell asleep before the end, and now I need to know what happened.

I quickly jumped up and ran down the stairs, going into the basement.

"Anneee!!" I say, tackling her.

"Huh?-" she yawned.

"Anne! I need to know how the movie ended last night!" I say, shaking her.

She sits up, making me fall off of her.

"Alright." She yawned again, "so, the towns people riot the castle, and Gaston nearly kills the beast. Belle sees this, and rushes over to the beast, declaring her love for him. Then the curse is lifted, and Belle and the prince live 'happily ever after'." She said, still half awake.

"Wait..so Belle loves the beast?" I ask

She blushed at this, "Y-Yes.."

"Alright, thanks!" I say, standing up and running back up the stairs.

"I-I wonder if he had the same dream as me.." I say softly.

(Quick version)

I was the monster. I was the . It was only me and my servants in the castle. A man came by, hoping for food and warmth, but I didn't see it that way. He was here to make fun of me. To think I was a monster. So, I locked him away. But a boy came by, and pleaded to switch places with the old man. Maybe this boy could lift my curse?

I accepted his deal, and let the old man free.

Over the course of several days, I began to feel a deeper connection with him. I then realized, that I . But who could love a beast in return? He needed to go see the old man, so I let him. But I couldn't help but feel like my heart was ripped out in the process. Within the night, angry townsfolk came. They destroyed my palace, and one of them in particular hurt me badly.

That's when I saw him. The boy.

"Anne!" He yelled out.

Sprig? I looked back at the person I was fighting against. I forcefully pushed him back, accidentally knocking him of the ledge.

"P-please.." the man pleaded.

I gave a remorseful look. I don't want to be the monster...

I helped him back up, but he deceived me, pushing me forcefully of the ledge. I fell to the ground, landing a few feet away from Sprig.

"Anne!?" He gasped, running up to me.

But I didn't move. I was too weak.

"Anne..Anne wake up!" He said, lightly shaking me.

After trying multiple times to get me up, he cried into my shoulder.

"P-Please...I-I..lo-"

"Maybe that wasn't the best movie to watch last night.." I sigh, standing up.

Or maybe...it was a good thing to watch it...
