The princess missed her prince. She knows not where he has gone, nor if they be reunited.
A strange noise brings me up from my slumber. In the middle of the night, I can hear a large creature crawling on my roof. But it is something large, or else I would not hear it. I tilt my head slightly, as I creep up to the front door. I hear it now crawling down the side of the wall. It is now at the door, I'm sure of it. I do not know if I should risk opening the door. I slide down to a sitting position where my back is against the door. I take a deep breath and lay my ear against the door. Could it be him? The one I’ve been running after for so long? I stand up, and crack the door open. I look around, unsure of what I'm seeing. Suddenly, he grabs me and throws me into the air. I land on my feet. I scream and run, for I am startled. He stands across the road. I feel like grimacing, but I bite my lip, and proceed. He starts by jolting me into a large twirl, which becomes a dip and jump. I end up in his arms in the air as he’s slowly spinning. I am pushed against atree gently, as he kisses my forehead. He spins me away. Falling, I almost land, but he throws me up and I land princess style in his arms. He carries me into the cabin, and reveals himself in the light. I found him. My true love. My beast. The beast who loves me, and defeated a man for me. He was a man, but how is he a beast again. I shall not care. I hug him. He missed me, and I missed him. We’ve been away from each other. But I care not. I will not lose him again.
