Allison is running , running as fast as her short legs can take her . Her lungs are burning , they are burning like they are on fire but Allison knows that she cannot stop running , not if she wants to escape the beast that is chasing her . The beast has been following her for nearly an entire hour and her energy is starting to dwindle but she carries on pushing herself , terrified of the beastly thing that is following her . The beast is over 7 foot tall with crimson red eyes and fur . A scent of blood seems to permanently linger in the air around it . Allison was told tales of the beast when she was only a young girl she thought that it was only a myth or folktale whispered around a campfire or told to children to teach them a lesson but now that she has see it she knows how wrong she had been . If Allison could go back to before she first saw the beast she would and if she survives the chase then she will live everyday to the fullest and love the world the way that she is supposed to . But deep in her heart she knows that the beast will never stop pursuing her because it has already caught her scent . She remembers the tale of how the beast came to be : Five hundred years ago the beast was just as much a human as Allison , his name was Cade and he was the son of the local baker . But one day Cade fell in love with a girl named Viola . Nobody in town knew where Viola had come from and eventually the villagers decided that Viola was a witch . The beautiful Viola was burned at the stake . Cade was the one who had to tell Viola's mother , Vivian , about her daughters death . Vivian blamed Cade for Viola's death and cursed him to kill any young woman that he came across . 164Please respect copyright.PENANA2k6u8sF32J
And suddenly Allison knows what to do . Allison stops running and falls to her knees , she opens her arms and when the beast comes storming through the forest she hugs him and he shrinks growing to the size of a normal human .
" What happened ? " Cade asks the frail girl crying on the floor .
" So much " Allison replies . " So much " Allison repeats again .
