Beast of a Beauty


Run. No, don't just run. Run father and faster than you have before. Don't put this down. Reading this may allow you to be able to escape it. To escape the beast. I thought I was safe, stowed far far away in my hollow fortress. But I've learned you're never safe. I let her into my home. I saved her father, someone that loved her. She frees him, and chooses to stay in my fortress, and like a parasite that slowly destroys its host from within, so too did my home. I thought she was innocent, more beautiful than any girl I had ever seen before, believed her to be an sweet innocent girl, but slowly, I began to notice that she wasn't all there... She would begin to snarl when she didn't like dinner. Her face would twist and become almost rabid when I talked to her about leaving. She would break things, at first leaving me to believe it was an accident, but as it happened more and more, I knew she intended to destroy my belongings. A teacup here, a candelabra there; she made my once beautiful home a wasteland. I tried to escape before she make me another broken thing on the floor, but she grabbed me, threw me against the wall, and threatened my life if i ever tried to leave. I'm trapped in my room at the top of the tower, unable to escape. I'm afraid I couldn't if I wanted to. I'm writing this and sending it as far as I can on a bird. Please tell me this works. Please find this. She is too strong and too angry. Do not come to find her. Do not try to find me. Too far gone for anyone to help. She's coming. I must go now. Heed my warning, and do not come for the beast.
